Icemaiden 6th Gear September 3, 2019 Share September 3, 2019 No doubt a beautiful area and very close to the city, and if I am reading right, an extension of the city to the Greater Southern Waterfront. So living in the city close to the sea, nature and work. Just an observation that the Keppel Club land while may give some sea views and close to the sea side, actually has very little direct sea frontage. So they will be nothing like the Keppel Bay condos with direct sea frontage and owning the sea-fronting land / promenade. In fact, some of the Keppel Bay condos have canals with sea water running through, e.g. Reflections, Caribbean and Corals at Keppel Bay. So while there is a lot of excitement, I think must also temper expectations, in the sense that it is unlikely that these HDB flats will have the turquoise sea with luxury yachts right n their backyard like the Keppel Bay condos. Most of the sea fronting parts are already taken by Reflections /Caribbean at Keppel Bay and towards the west Labrador Park. Some of them own close to 1km of the coastline (but allow public access). ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic September 7, 2019 Author Share September 7, 2019 (edited) The government has to make sure the pricing is equitable, or least allow some form of affordable housing elsewhere.. In fact I prefer that the entire area is private, and let market forces determine the pricing. Then build affordable housing nearby or in other areas. Bottom line is we don't want to see HKG level pricing here.. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/commentary/hong-kong-protests-causes-housing-affordability-youths-own-rent-11879250 Quote "At the end of 2018, the average selling price (per sqm) ... is about US$16,500 in the further New Territories" Edited September 7, 2019 by therock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

therock Supersonic September 8, 2019 Author Share September 8, 2019 It’s interesting to watch the bee developments that claim to have a sea view. Some of those old condos and even some of those being launched in the East will have their sea view obliterated in the coming days .. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His comments come after Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in his National Day Rally speech last month that the Government plans to build 9,000 private and public housing units on the site of the current Keppel Club when the lease expires in two years' time. READ: NDR 2019: New attractions, housing and office spaces to be developed in Greater Southern Waterfront READ: Specific measures could dampen 'lottery effect' of public housing at the Greater Southern Waterfront, experts say Several analysts had raised concerns on whether public housing in the Greater Southern Waterfront would create a “lottery effect”, where owners sell their units for far higher prices than initially purchased. Speaking to CNA938’s Arnold Gay and Yasmin Jonkers, Mr Wong said that the Government is still studying the best way to price future homes in the area.

awhtc 6th Gear September 19, 2019 Share September 19, 2019 Same model can be applied to any BTO in good location. In another word, BTO prices will go up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusnel 6th Gear October 9, 2019 Share October 9, 2019 i dont care about private development there. For BTO flat, i think garment will impose more policies regards to re-selling. Maybe a 10 year (like EC policy) or 15 years MOP before allow to re-sell. This is to curb speculation flipping. i will go for 15 year MOP. to tame the human greed.
