Central (Formerly known as SOHO @ Central) I





SOHO @ Central is one of those overpriced apartment-cum-office and shopping complexes, packaged with as much hype as that from the mouth of Steve Jobs.

The apartments-cum-home offices, being of leasehold (99 years), was being sold at about S$1000 psf. Crazy. And it's a Far East Organisation project too! Ugh.

For those who don't know, the Singapore River do stink to high heaven at low tide. Not as much as in the past, but it still does. This will be an interesting development. There is already a large Starbucks joint there.

That's crazy pricing and I do not know how people can afford that. Well Steve Jobs can and the like too.

As for the smell at low tide some people might like that ... sea breeze ... smell the sea. LOL!

Jobs certainly can after all that backdating of options. He's claiming ignorance. Heavens! I think he will get away with it.

I think there is a big difference between the smells from a canal or big drain (which is essentially what Singapore River is) and the sea at low tide. I don't think people living in the East Coast of Singapore have to contend with it.
