Hi Mr. Thiam,

Thank you for posting your enquiry.

To answer the question of "better future upside", we can look at how much the property has fell for the past year. 2007 July to 2008 August
RIVERGATE: ~2250psf to 1600 psf
COSMOPOLITAN: ~2380psf to 1500 psf
The percentage if price reduction is somewhat comparable for this 2 development.

Since you are looking to buy for own stay, in addition to future upside, other factors such as location may be an equally important factor to consider.

COSMOPOLITAN:
(1) Located at the intersection of River Valley Road and Kim Seng Road which is a busy intersection so noise may be a factor.
(2) Has 228 units, somewhat more exclusive than Rivergate which has 545 units.

RIVERGATE:
(1) Located beside Singapore River and encapsulated by a road that sees less traffic.

Feel free to call me to find out more about available units in this 2 developments.

Thank you.

Hi there,

- Both River Valley and Stevens Road are excellent choices in prime districts.
- River Valley area is closer to the city and has a vibrant lifestyle with easy access to amenities.
- Stevens Road area offers a quieter environment with good access to reputable schools and is still very accessible to the city.
- For future upside, River Valley might have a slight edge due to its proximity to the CBD and the ongoing developments in the area.

As for the condos:
1. **The Cosmopolitan** - Great location near Great World City, easy access to MRT and amenities.
2. **Rivergate** - Excellent riverside living, spacious units, and fantastic views.

Both are good value for money, but if you prefer a more bustling environment, go for The Cosmopolitan. If you enjoy quieter riverside living, Rivergate might be a better fit.

Thank you.
