condo but only on the internet so far. Anyone live there already and care to share any thoughts on the place? For me to see you get a lot of value for your money. The units I have been looking at are sqf 1,432 and the asking price is 5,200-5,500. Will most likely end up on 4,700-5k.
300m from Plaza Singapura and Orchard and in walking distance of 3 MRT stations in 5 mins.
I though rentals were MUCH more expensive in close proximity to Orchard. What's the catch?
1. It is not a straight walk to Dhoby Ghaut and Little India stations. Too far to Bugis station. Expect 12 minutes of walking in realistic timing in either directions.
2. There is a huge construction going on for new Downtown Line MRT station at Selegie Road at the moment (I think it is called Bencoolen/Rochor station). Expect successive construction towards that condo's surroundings to connect two new stations (either Rochor-Bugis or Bencoolen-Jalan Besar).
3. Good thing is plenty, plenty of shops, supermarkets and restaurants around, right outside the condo.
