Interview with condo specialist James Tan on 25 June 2010 - Call James at 9436-7795 for a non-obligatory discussionWe all know that location is key in current property market. So tell us if Waterfront Gold is on a good location.James reply:
Waterfront Gold is strategically located with excellent waterfront view of the reservoir.
Reservoir view is very sort-after. Just recall the launch of Estuary in the first quarter of this year - also with a reservoir view, Estuary was sold out within a month or so of its launch.
Other than the view, the reservoir provides quick access to a myriad of exciting recreational activities (1.4 times larger than Marina Bay = equivalent to 650 Olympic size swimming pools, 4.5km jogging track, recreational and water sports facilities)
The vicinity is also well served by suburban malls
(Tampines Mall, Tampines One, Century Square, Ikea, Giants, etc)
For families with children's education in mind, this location will be its primary selling point since its near reputable schools
(Red Swastika Schools, CHIJ Katong, Victoria Junior College, Temasek Polytechnic, United World College and 4th University)
Lastly, its close proximity to upcoming Changi Business Park promises a very lucrative rental yield.
Do you think Bedok Reservoir is not well-served by the public transport system?James reply:
Most definitely not. With Pan Island Expressway (PIE)just right at the corner, it is
- Well connected to other parts of the Island via PIE (BedokNorth Ave 3)
- Accessible to Changi International Airport, amenities and recreational activities
Furthermore,
There is an Upcoming Eastern Region MRT (Downtown Line 3)
- Downtown Line will be 19.1km long
- Consists of 15 stations
- From Chinatown to Expo
(Passing through Jalan Besar area and eastwards to parts of Bedok, Tampines and Expo)
- Targeting to complete by 2016
This prospect also gives rise to potential capital appreciation.

Collections.
Do you think Waterfront Gold will be another sell-out launch?James reply:
I would think so judging from the recent sales in the area.
The market is going very strong and for this value-for-money project, it opens up to the mass market as well and this will strengthen the sales.
