Singapore Property News: [RealEdge] TodayOnline : A revolutionary idea - a hotel in a park

Browsing my google reader today, I came across the work of Sarah Anne Johnson via Brian Ulrich's blog. Sarah Anne JohnsonHer work (at least what I could find) combines pictures and clay pieces of her experiences at a tree planting summer program that is a coming of age experience for many Canadian adolescence. Her combination of processes is really smooth although I have to admit I like her clay pieces more. Camping 2003.

Just in time for April Fool's Day, Solomon Lew's spin about his bid for Just Group has hit the press. Some might say that investing with Lew is a pretty spectacular risk, as it was when he was last chair of Premier Investments and Coles Myer. In the weeks and months ahead, Lew's record of stewardship of public companies will be an inescapably important issue for Just Group shareholders to consider.

Lew is a crook but he knows his retail, if he's buying it's because he thinks the company is a steal.

With excellent frontage along Balestier Road, the plot has a maximum permissible gross floor area of about 40,000sq m, at least 60 per cent of which is meant for a 650-room hotel and hotel-related uses, while the rest is for commercial and residential use. Mr Nicholas Mak, director of consultancy and research at Knight Frank, said that while it would be unique to tie in the hotel with the area's heritage, it poses several challenges for the developer and may draw less than five bids. "As most of the nearby hotels in the area are small, the proposed hotel, if it is targeted at a different market segment, would not face stiff competition when completed," In light of the temporary hotel room crunch facing Singapore, property analysts Today spoke to say that while the area's heritage would be an added bonus, what is really driving the market is the increase in visitors to the island. "To really make a difference, it would be necessary to preserve the whole Balestier area, and not just selected parts such as the Sun Yat Sen memorial hall,"
