Three possible areas for Singapore-KL high-speed rail terminal here

[yeokiwi]

If the train goes underground, looking at the map, it probably will run right below AYE. In fact, Tuas West, Jurong East and city are along AYE.
And, AYE currently does not have any MRT line going beneath it. I suppose if Singapore is going to develop another MRT line from West to City, they will dig together with the high speed rail or share with the high speed rail.

So nice, dig once and you get one MRT line that is parallel to West line + one high speed rail.

I say, go invest in Tuas West now!

Buy buy buy! no lah, i am not property agent!

I don't understand how having a rail link there will increase the property price? I thought the crime rate might be higher in that area given the ease of pp travelling to/fro Johor/Spore. Most of Malaysians come here to work, not big spenders or retire here. This will cause them to congregate around the area. How will that make property price increase? Will people want to buy a place to invest where there are mostly pp from a particular country?

Usually industrial/retail units moves first for Tuas West Areas, residential, maybe not much due to "not so clear" of township plan yet, but this will get clearer once the HS depot is decided, either Tuas west or JE,
I also think that there will be import/export companies, and the singapore-malaysia coach services companies..etc.. it's a Industrial township in-progress!

I would like to think that crime rate continues to be low in singapore, no matter which location, lessons from the Little Indian Riots has raised attention and focus on these "congregate" zones, areas, geylang..etc..
I think Singapore is more of a place to work, rather than a place to retire/live, Tuas West Areas seems to represent that, Work area, so guess industrial/warehouse properties will kick start the price raising..

imho only, so do take a look around and reference back to marco views if you can?

4 known grown areas,

1) Tuas West - Heavy Industrial/Domintories - HS Railway?
2) Jurong Lake District - Hotel/Shopping/CBD - HS Railway?
3) Old Paya Lebar Airport area - Light Industrials
4) Changi 4th Runway - (but i think we cannot invest in them as retail investors, maybe buy SATS?)

The demand for the properties near this vicinity will rise as it will be near to the places of business and also the mode of transport (HS railway) is nearby. Not forgetting the rental of the properties there.

I guess JB property prices will likely follow the footsteps of Shen Zhen.
If we were to compare Tuas's equivalent of Sheung Shui's property prices in HK, they are average at best.

the HSR will encourage more cross border travels for sgreans, malaysians and tourists travelling in the region.

Not sure about the prices of properties in JB but I will definitely buy one for investment in Tuas. Our neighbour's property rules kept changing and unless one is staying in JB, buying a investment property in JB is like sitting on a roller-coaster ride with lots of ups of downs.

Tuas or Jurong likely site for S'pore-KL rail station
The city centre will also be considered but it is a less likely option, says PM Lee

http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/premium/...n-20140408

"The city would be ideal, but it is very difficult to do," Mr Lee disclosed during a joint press conference with his Malaysian counterpart Najib Razak at the end of an annual "retreat" meeting between the two leaders. "The expense would be very high. You have to tunnel a long way - and to find a sufficiently big plot (of land) in the city in order to build the railway station is not easy."

Tuas West makes sense because it is close to the Singapore-Malaysia border, and so is Jurong East which will become a major transportation, economic and financial zone for Singapore, Mr Lee said.

"Because it is (in) the Jurong Lake district and many things are happening at Jurong East," he said. "We will decide within the next year or so."

Looks like the tracks for the Singapore side will be underground. I think having the terminal at JE will be better as time connected to the city will be shorter compared to Tuas West.

I have the impression the Tuas area consist of mostly blue collar workers type of industrial work place. If the area consist of blue collar workers don't expect them to pay sky high rental/housing for residential properties. Unless that area becomes like Changi business district where some white collar companies are congregating there.

yup. I agree. besides who would want to live near to heavy industries factories with toxic fumes and chemical processing facilities, and loads of blue collar workers getting off work at 5pm-6pm, it would be a nightmare if you are unable to beat the peak hour and is travelling on public transport.

Msia is far far different from Shenzhen. SZ attract good people from a population size of 1bn. Msia good people already in Australia.

How come no one say """BUY SEREMBAN properties!!!""
