Why i buy ... :)
My reason for buying is investment and my reason for investing in this development is the blooming activities at habourfront. 
 
1. St James - you want nite activities like pub, disco etc...is only a 5-10min walk to the place. (It is especially shorter if you take a nice stroll along mt faber road and then take a short cut - a few 10s of steps down to Temenggong road where you will exit at Telok Blangah road and find yourself standing directly infront of the sentosa gateway). 
 
2. Vivocity - one of the biggest if not, biggest shopping mall now in SGP. You can find almost anything here and lots of restaurants, fast food etc here. Same route as going to St James. Plus you have habourfront shopping mall next door to Vivocity to explore. 
 
3. Future IR on Sentosa - if you want a casino and theme park near your place with good beaches...you have it. 
 
4. Habourfront MRT is about 10-15min walk (again take the short cut route to out to Telok Blangah road and make a right turn at Habourlights and you will see the MRT station plus a few more steps down you will see the World Trade Center Bus Terminal). This NS line will take you to many interesting places like Chinatown, Little India, Orchard etc. 
 
5. If you like to enjoy some local SGP lifestyle like neighbourhood coffeeshop, wet market, mama shop (small convenient stall), laundry shop, bird and fish shop etc...take the gate out along Mt Faber road and cross the road to cut across the car park. Walk along the Telok Blangah Rise road until you see a building with red top (about 3-5min) and you will get all the local stuff you need. 
 
6. If you like me enjoys jogging, beside the gym...you have Mt Faber to run up, around and down. Is a nice place to jog but watch out for the buses (something i wish the authority can do something about - maybe build a tram up Mt Faber and have all buses park below the "mountain")...is quite noisy and heavy especially in morning and evening time. 
 
7. Mount Faber have a pub, restaurant and also a cafe for you to enjoy especially during nite time if you like a romantic time with your love one. You can also take a cable car across to Sentosa and back just for the romantic moment. During New Year...you might even catch some fireworks...good place for a romantic walk. 
 
8. There at least 3 buses 123, 124 and also 143 to Orchard road. It takes about 15min but on a cab it is a short 5min drive. And to General Hospital, Chinatown etc etc...there are buses right outside Pearl to take you there. Did I say the railway station is about 3-5min cab ride to reach? You can take trains to Malaysia from here...not to mention there have a great muslim eat place outside the station. 
 
9. You can assess easily to ECP aka AYE to go to East Coast Park, Marina area and also it is a short distance to SGP financial downtown Shenton Way. Trust me, there are many many buses along Telok Blangah road that you can take to reach there. Lau Pak Sha is within reach for some reasonably good food like satay. 
 
10. Last, if you like cruising and travelling to other islands, the docks is at Habourfront...go for it. 
 
There are many mores...is nice place tucked below Mt Faber and unlike her bigger "brothers and sisters" Keppel Carribean and soon reflection which faces a highway cutting across it, a marina place for boats and also sea view i cannot think of anything which might make Pearl a poorer development (minus a few facilities maybe - i might be ignorant). Imagine cramping 1000+++ units at Keppel area...and also, the walk time and distance to all the places i mentioned above is almost the same as Pearl.
