One Marina Gardens
Marina South, D01 · Kingsford-led group
Overall score 6.4 out of 10. MRT at the door and garden views, in a district that does not exist yet. The train and Gardens by the Bay are real. Shops, schools and neighbours are not there and will take around a decade. The developer paid 42% more than the next bidder for the land, and later bids nearby were much lower, so later launches could be cheaper. Marina Bay condos also have a record of loss-making resales.
