Just out of curiosity.. long long time ago ()...when bishan was a young new town..did people think of it like how we think about punggol and tengah?

I remembered last time.. from Bishan.. it was hard to go to west or east..must always take a long mrt ride to city hall then change green line.

bishan was developed in the early 80s and ready in late 80s
but for tengah in an era 20 years later than punggol and 40 years later than bishan, the current technology, infrastructure and experience in area planning should have accumulated based on their past experience

to the first batch of punggol residents in 2001,there wasn't a proper shopping mall/cinema till 2016, no proper bus interchange till end of 2003 and only two feeder bus services? no MRT station till 2004
probably it takes 20 years till 2021 to fully develop punggol with new amenities of the new hawker and digital street

but 10 years to develop tengah should not be too much to ask for based on their past 50+ years of planning experience

But hopefully CRL quickly comes up to remove a large % of train crowd.

CRL? sure, in 2030

I know right! If near to food centre.. also 1k more. Lol

that I don't know
that plot has good proximity to food center and MRT
also unblocked view towards East Coast Park (above #11 floor, I reckon it is better than my direction though I'm closer to MRT, walking to the food center takes 7mins right from door step, cannot tahan the hot sun plus my scenery will be 50% blocked by the buildings diagonally opposite)

I might choose this new dakota site if I had a chance as it is only 3mins walk to the food center, after all, we eat more than we take MRT

I just feel that Tengah BTO didn't set a price cheap enough to provide incentive to the pioneer residents in this area.

Wow
So the older generation of city planners was really more experienced .. able to plan ahead

nothing is confirmed till it is launched

 

[Coollplay]

nothing is confirmed till it is launched

may be not today

 

[Dominum]

Not so soon launch lah usually it’s the 3rd week of the month

 

[shallow]

Not so soon launch lah usually it’s the 3rd week of the month

not true...sep 19 was on 11, nov 19 was on the 11th, feb20 was on the 10th I have the HDB alert SMS haha

 

[greenhse]

The MND ads haven’t appear yet

 

[1982-1994]

Not so soon launch lah usually it’s the 3rd week of the month

hence why my guess

 

[keechiu]

Me too. I get to see those fighter jets take off during the day and occasionally it may be quite annoying as they may start flying in the morning while you’re still sleeping or taking afternoon nap. But already grew used to it.

I stay in Pasir Ris for more 20 years. I have never heard any noises from the jets or ppl complaining.

So its either early next week or tmr then. Maybe delay 1 day due to ph.

 

[Gixxerfied]

Usually 10am or 4pm starts. Besides, we have 1 week to apply and its not the earlier you apply, the lower your number.

So far, 10am launch, 4pm results release..

 

[Gixxerfied]

if I'm not wrong,
the pricing are up only after the week of launch

Price range is up on the same day or launch.

Individual unit price if no changes is 1 week after results is out..

 

[1982-1994]

OK ok, gixxerfied

So my guess for today's launch is wrong

 

[Gixxerfied]

Well, will come eventually...Last time my sales launch got push back a few times and launch right on the last day of May..

So far CCK site no work yet due to covid..

Although organisation have 50+ years of experience, the current team planning and executing unlikely have or took over that decades of experiences...

When Sengkang and Punggol were developed more than 20years ago, the LRT system was already in the pipeline. It really provides great convenience for the residents there.

The size of Tengah and its surrounding areas should be able to accommodate and support the ridership. However, the recent years of developing that area don't have LRT system. Perhaps its the size that doesn't warrant a LRT system but I don't think so.

the JRL is a souped-up LRT. look at the distance between stations. is more typical of LRT than MRT, isn't it?
