市区公寓 老外新欢 - zaobao, 22 Jun 2008
近一两年来，坐落在金融区或者金融区边缘的共管公寓，已陆续完工，住户也纷纷迁入。
从夜晚的灯火和悬挂了窗帘的窗户来看，海天大厦(The Icon)和瓅之尚都(Citylights) 等完工半年至一年的新市区公寓，都已经取得超过一半的住用率。这些市区公寓不靠近学校，也没有湿巴刹，到底吸引怎样的租户？
市区公寓由于不靠近学校，附近也没有湿巴刹，所以这里的住户跟一般住宅区的住户有些不同。在这里较少看到孩子还在上学的家庭，而外国人的比例相当高。
English Translation of the above excerpt:
Judging from the number of lit apartments and those with curtains, it seems more than half of the units at The Icon and Citylights are already occupied. These city fringe condos are not near schools or wet markets, so what are their attractions ?
These city condos are not near schools or wet markets, so the residents here are different from those in other residential area. You see few children, instead expats ratio is relatively high.
While sale prices have dipped for these 99-year leasehold condos, they still command good rental yields.

The blogger here has been affectionately named by close allies as "Smart Buyer" but really, he's not smart. Smart Buyer just believes that being prudent is smart. That's the essence of the message of this blog and Smart Buyer hopes it'll benefit other property buyers.
