Singaporeans seem to be of two minds about integrated projects. One half believes a nearby integrated project will raise property values, or at least improve demand. Most people want a mall and an MRT station nearby, right? On the other hand, some homeowners dread the thought of huge crowds and congestion, drawn by said mall.
