Area likely to have mix of homes, offices and recreational facilities
A large new precinct near the Central Business District to be freed up by a new undersea road offers many exciting possibilities, say property consultants.
They say the upcoming Marina Downtown could complement the existing CBD in the same way the financial hub of Canary Wharf complements the city of London.
The 70ha area, to be developed once a section of the East Coast Parkway (ECP) is removed, is likely to feature a mix of homes, offices, retail and recreational facilities, said property and planning consultants.
This will allow for a new CBD, with the Marina Bay area as a seamless extension of the existing financial district.
The lure of waterfront living and sweeping views of the Strait of Singapore have made District 4 a coveted residential enclave.
The area, which encompasses Keppel Bay, Mount Faber, Sentosa and Telok Blangah, is also popular with buyers due to its central location and accessibility to entertainment offerings such as Resorts World Sentosa and the VivoCity mall.
SINGAPORE: Demand for luxury homes in Sentosa Cove may be softening but it is not losing its shine just yet.
Property experts said prices in Sentosa Cove are set to make a rebound, even hitting previous highs seen in 2008 before the global financial crisis.
The upbeat sentiment came following a report by Colliers International on Tuesday which said Sentosa Cove properties are now cheaper than mass market condominiums.
SINGAPORE: Jobs will be brought nearer to the homes to help ease the congestion in the city centre, with two new commercial belts.
The government, which outlined these developments in its Land Use Plan, will also make it easier for people to use public transport. And, it hopes to see 75 per cent of all journeys made by public transport by 2030, compared with the current 60 per cent.
