Marina Bay is a successful example of Singapore’s long term planning. The 360ha area was reclaimed during the 1970s and 1908s in anticipation of the need to grow the city centre in the future. Marina Bay allows for the seamless extension of Singapore's Central Business District and further supports the city-state's continuing growth as a global business and financial hub.
It is planned as a vibrant, mixed-use district with round-the-clock activities based on sustainable development strategies. It is well served by public transport with 4 RTS lines and 9 MRT stations and is the first district in Singapore to be planned upfront with a network of dedicated cycling lanes. Transit-oriented development optimises access for residents, workers and visitors to public transport. Marina Bay is Singapore’s first city to play host to water activities and is the focal point for major events. Together with the waterfront promenade and its loop of attractions and vibrant public spaces, Marina Bay aims to be a People’s Bay and will play a role in defining the character of Marina Bay in its leafy streetscape, lush park and sky-rise gardrens.
The next phase of development includes a new lively and mixed-use residential district at Marina South that is planned to be green, walkable and cycle-friendly.

Marina South

Marina South, located next to Bay South Garden and the Straits of Singapore, will set a new standard for sustainable urban living.
Imagine an urban village characterised by city streets with corner shops, cafes, grocery stores, barbers and beauty salons. All these within a short walk or bicycle ride. The village main street is free of cars. Children play safely as parents shop or dine outdoors. Residential communities are planned as Street Neighbourhoods where residents have opportunities for face-to-face contact. Walking and cycling are the choice modes to move around with shaded walks and dedicated bike paths.

TANJONG PAGAR
District 2
Location of WALLICH RESIDENCE

A vibrant and connected mixed-use district, building on the existing city fabric

The new landscaped park above Tanjong Pagar MRT Station will form part of the continuous green connector across the city linking Pearl’s Hill City Park and Duxton Plain Park to Ann Siang Hill Park, and to the waterfront promenade around Marina Bay.
The green tropical environment will provide shade and respite from the hustle and bustle of the city and a place for relaxation, recreation and community events and activities.
The surrounding boutique hotels and high-rise apartments will provide for a vibrant live-in community.

An abundance of cafes, restaurants, pubs and alfresco dining areas will create a 24 by 7 buzz and present a multitude of activities to unwind after office hours.

Recovery in Singapore Home Prices Gains Momentum

Property prices started recovering in the second half of last year after a near four-year decline caused by a tepid economy and the government's cooling measures aimed at damping speculation. The growing demand for apartments has led to a scramble for land amongst developers, resulting in ever-higher bids at government land auctions as well as at collective or "en-bloc" sales. Such sales take place when apartment owners jointly sell an existing residential building to a developer, getting a much higher price than if they had sold their units individually. The buyer subsequently redevelops the site, taking advantage of increased height limits and plot ratios to build more apartments. Collective sales help to boost demand for property because the sellers would have to find new homes soon after the deal is concluded, while the redeveloped complex will only hit the market three or four years later, after the project is complete. Just Thursday, a site at Cuscaden Road,
