I am non-singaporean and not familiar with the bus system here. If most of the owner want to rent out their property, the tenant will just walk away when they hear the place is far from MRT. This is also my first reaction. Maybe there is bus to town or ang mo kio from there, ppl just not keen to take bus especially foreigner...

A bit dissapointed when know that the future MRT plan will never passby balestier area...when look at the broucher of Bliss Loft, it say "minutes walk to Novena MRT", I almost fainted...

unless someone who can share with me how convenience is the public transport there..

The nearer MRT station from Mezzo is Farrer Park MRT (10 mins walk compare with 15 mins to Novena MRT). You can walk along the Rangoon Road. But this is a NE Line.

The biggest problem I see is traffic condition. With many new development properties alone this area, and I don't see how government can widen the road, it may go worst when all these developments completed.

hope the mezzo management can arrange bus as well..

SoilBuild is a darn cool developer. Their website posts actual pics of site construction progress for all their projects.

**azeoprop** · 20-09-09, 15:52

Here's the latest photo of the site taken today. Ruby plaza is completely gone and it seems ready for the construction of Mezzo soon.

There is a Earth god plate at the big tree infront of the site. Something like dragon earth god and fortnue god thing...

**kskong2000** · 22-09-09, 00:12

ya... happy to see that...
recently seem like ppl push the mezzo to a sky high price..
can see from property seeling website that ppl are asking 920k++
i think it is due to the lauch of Prestige Height which is asking 1200++ psf and see like the sale is extremely slow compare to other launch..
so dont know i should happy or not

I saw the below soilbuild website regarding 1H2009 financial performance presentation slide. It stated in page 18 on their projects TOP schedule. Mezzo's TOP will be at 2H2011.

Thats very good news, for a while I thought it will be 2014 according to the brochure....

**kskong2000** · 05-10-09, 20:25

Hi, may I know any1 manage to sub-sale their 840sf unit for more than 1050 psf?

Just curious that why URA only show 111 transaction record since 127 units has been fully sold...

Does this mean that the rest of buyers are flipper?

**azeoprop** · 10-10-09, 16:56

Here's the latest photo of the construction site, the big stones are there.

**vtaykw** · 20-10-09, 15:50

Here's the latest photo of the construction site [19th Oct 09], the big stones and big cranes are there.

**azeoprop** · 21-10-09, 09:11

Thanks for the update.

The view from Mezzo toward CDC direction is quite nice and unblock. Based on 2008 URA Master Plan, the CDC piece of land is being reserved for condo development (plot ratio 2.8). Hope that government will not release the land for sales before Mezzo TOP

**kskong2000** · 21-10-09, 10:47

Just wonder that which stack is facing that direction?

**HCL** · 21-10-09, 10:53

No stack is direct facing CDC. The stack closer is 02 and 03. It will be the side view from Balcony and Master Bedroom window

**azeoprop** · 21-10-09, 11:10

Just wondering is the carpark public (shared with shoppers)? Or got separate levels for residents?

Hopefully, in the meantime, they can refurbish the old buildings as shops and eateries like dempsey hill, and convert the place into a park.

If my recall is correct, the business car park is at level 3 and residence car park is at level 4 - 6. There are 130 car park lots for resident which is sufficient enough for 1 and 2 bedrooms property as I believe there shall be high percentage of resident does not own car. Both, business and residence, have different car park entrance.
What I understand from news that there are some old building along Balestier near Mezzo are looking for new buyer to develop the place. The speed to redevelop Balestier is very much depend on the economics condition

**azeoprop** · 31-10-09, 15:43

Latest site photo taken today 31Oct09. Not much changes except the stones have moved.

**kskong2000** · 01-11-09, 22:01

Is the Construction Notice Board up? Perhaps the builders contract not awarded.

**vtaykw** · 07-12-09, 09:39

Did not saw any construction permit on the site.

**azeoprop** · 13-12-09, 23:06

Haa haa, looks like its Merry Christmas and Happy New Year time in Soilbuild.

**azeoprop** · 16-12-09, 19:38
