Anybody going for this? Checked out the master plan for this... This should be the first part of the the entire project. Can I check with the experienced people here... does this mean that if I manage to get a unit there, after TOP and move in, have to put up with the rest of ongoing construction for the first few years at least? Anybody can share some experiences on this? TIA

Yup...But of cos depending on when they launch the rest of the site..Might be the following launch after May so both should finish around the same time..

You can see Keat Hong for a good idea..KH Crest was the last project launch in May 2013..Places like Sunshine Garden which was launch in Jan 12 and also just TOP..Few projects like KH Pride, KH Colours, KH Axis, KH Mirage, KH Crest is currently still in progress..

Anyway, i dont think May launch would be call Northshore..As Northshore seems to be a general description of that whole area..

Initially was quite disappointed to know that another likely bto will block the sea view once everything is up. Then again heard from a friend that staying right beside the sea also not exactly ideal.

One thing to consider is the evening sun, another thing he mentioned is that right by the sea, the air condition tend to be different and have some effects on things like furniture etc... How true?

True in every aspect u mention above..

And also the sunlight reflecting off the sea surface into your house is no joke also..

Another two things giving concerns are... in the north lies Pasir Gudang. From Google maps it seems there are heavy industrial estates and O&G areas. Not sure if it is too far to have any effect though :s13:

The other thing is somebody mentioned before east-wards there's going to be a mega-dorm for foreign workers. IIRC Timor islands is set aside primarily for construction firms and other purposes. Security will likely become a concern then?

this is what i presume:

as the sea is salty, the air or wind blowing from the sea direct towards the units by the sea side will have higher salt contents in it as compare to those staying more inland.. and when these salty wind comes into contact with the windows/grilles/furniture, might have some damaging effects on it..
