J Gateway is a Gem
This project should be sold out within weeks. Great location, right in the middle of Jurong Gateway. When TOP, this will be the tallest and most iconic development in Jurong area, like the Orchard residence or Orchard Road. With more malls, hotel, hospital, commercial offices, statutory board all coming to Jurong Gateway, there will be no shortage of rental demand.Was this review helpful? Report review -

LH condo at FH price!
Only plus point is the locality which if one source hard enough can seek better condos at much lower psf also located near MRT. Was keen but put off by the $1500-$1600 psf!Was this review helpful? Report review -

Reasons why I won't buy j gateway
1) the layout is not fantastic n paying a lot for lots of wasted space 2) if buying for own stay , those track facing units will have no end to noise pollution 3) if buying for investment , will have difficulty renting out at good yield ( less than 4%) 4) interest rates going to go up soon 5) Singapore facing massive supply of completed condos n foreign workforce will be reduced depressing rental My advice to everyone is not to get enticed to pay such high prices just because of jurong lake district which is what many agents are using as a selling point, look at sustainability.Was this review helpful?

The project is overrated
While I agree that govt is doing a good job with Jurong Lake district masterplan , the prices of this development just doesn't make sense from an investment perspective. The prices that developer is selling, not only is that future pricing but one that is unsustainable. All that hype is there only because because of the marketing work by agents , I seriously urge buyers to exercise prudence as those who dive in blindly will get stuck. The success stories of those who bought Caspian, centris, lakeshore etc in the area will not be repeated again in this project simply because buyers paying that kind of prices can move a level up to live in the core central region, a more desired location for many. Think about it...Was this review helpful? Report review -

buying at the peak
Reasons why i will not buy for investment: 1) Based on very high future pricing 2) To achieve desired yield for this project (between 4-5%), it is untried and untested 3) An oversupply of houses coming on in 2014/15 increasing competition 4) Tighter controls on influx of labour means the increase number of houses coming into market will compete for same pool of tenants (5) Condo does not have nice layout and a lot of units facing the track, not ideal for own stay or renting to tenants who don't like noiseWas this review helpful?

overpriced and not sustainable
This project is overpriced no matter how many malls spring up around. Those buying for investment have to question whether you can get even 4% rental yield. For the prices of 3 bedroom units (in excess of $1.5 million), one can easily scout around for a freehold condo in town near the city centre.Was this review helpful? Report review -
