The Midtown or a "Ghost Town"

The Midtown complex with a mix of residences and shops seems to share the fate of the glut in the sudden explosion of many Malls in Singapore.

Although, this development does not have bad Shapes and Forms;

This has more to do with it being inconveniently located at the fringe of a small Hougang estate.

Look at it this way; there was once a spokesperson from a local bank who told me that when an ATM machine broke down; customers would complain that even a 200 metre walk to the next machine is too far...

In the future, it may end up with the likes of a Sheng Siong or Giant ... taking over most of a level ... since there is already two NTUC Fairprice near-by..

Even so, the retail end of this Mall in a mature estate seems bleak even with a few developments coming up .. up stream at the apex of Upper Serangoon Road...

Here, do remember that Feng Shui is not a cure-all.

Last visit was on 11 August for a residential audit there. A new Coffeeshop just took over a vacant space.

There is a huge moneylender’s signage....child care...
