I think they should maybe learn from the previous project and call it "Dorsett" or something to bring it more "upmarket". Spottiswood and Outram area just seem so downmarket. Even the MRT station is full of leerers and harrassers leering at every girl and looking for China streetwalkers (worst still - approach every girl for "service"). Never like the environment - makes one feel very uncomfortable. If you're a family, I would suggest avoid at all cost. In fact, I find Geylang more discreet than those old men at Outram and the surrounding district, including Spottiswood area.

Do you realize that the circle line is not a circle....

What do you think is missing in the circle line.... Tanjong pagar train station!

But why? Because Govt is smart enough not to complete the circle to increase the value of malaysia's train station.

Now that the station back in Singapore's hands, what do you think is going to happen?

The circle line is going to be a circle... sooner than you think.:)

Also look at The Arris, within CBD. Freehold, sleek design. Last transacted $1400. Better location, nearer MRT, no bay windows, planter or balcony, not as good view as it is low rise.

Better value than $2000 at Outram...

In future there may be a trend of older folksselling off their large apartments or house and move into smaller apartment when their children grow up and moved out. Easier to maintain. It is better with nearby mrt stn as driving may not be possible due to poor eyesight or owning a car is just too costly.

Comparing Spottiwoode and RS, the layout of 2 bedder for Spottiwoode is much better. But the only setback is the distance to mrt stn. One is outside of CBD and one is inside for now. Never know, CBD will be expanded to here in future. Glydenbourne does not seem to have new happenings after the station is built. Spottiwoode still have the railway project and the future container port will be turned to another marina/waterfront living.

Hmmm… decisions, decisions….
Strategically, looking at the long term growth of the core of the city, the centre of the city seems to shifting southwards. The commercial centre is heading towards Marina Bay/Bugis area in the next 10 years, and in the next twenty years, probably towards the space vacated by PSA’s container port.
There is limited free land for the commercial area to expand northwards. There’s no free land for commercial areas beyond Orchard Road.
If the price of property is tied to proximity of the centre, I will base my selection on the properties towards the south, ie Spottiwood or Robinson.
Though I do not think $2000 is good value for Spottiwood. There are other properties in the resale market that cost less.
Though buying on the resale market can be a pain…. But that’s another story…

The question is how much premium a new project should have over a slightly older one. All projects will become old at some point. Is a 25% premium justified?

If you are a long term investor for say 20 years, there will not be much of a premium for a 20yr old property over a 30yr old property.

A badly designed 20yr old property will be worse out than a well designed 30yr old property.

The location of Arris is probably superior to spottiswoode, nearer to CBD, MRT, amenities etc. granted that spottiswoode has a better view given that it is high rise.

sian liao. right size (sq ft) is no use when the liveable/usable area is so small. :mad:


the size is quite ok just that the balconies took up too much space..
also the orientation is E-W facing so better term the balconies as 'sun decks' ~ :D

The north west facing units probably a better bet. Immediately north is the conservation shophouses, that's going to be there forever. The hospital is a good distance away.

The only issue is the NW orientation. But if you look at the profile of the potential tenants for the 1BR MMs, they are likely to be single professionals. They are not going to be home when the western sun hits. So they are not likely to be bothered by it.

However, the i'm not too hot about the overall design of the whole thing...

Well, we went up to blk 101, next to site. Nothing to rave about. Either messy containers view or shophouses' roof top view. Surprise to hear the noise from the AYE, even from blk 101. So dropping the idea of buying... can wait for better opportunities within the next 10-15 years. Anyway, the railway and port area will take many years to redevelop... can wait and look see look see.

UOL to release 100 units of Spottiswoode project for preview (http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporebusinessnews/view/1092872/1/.html)
By Travis Teo | Posted: 11 November 2010 1745 hrs

SINGAPORE: Property developer UOL Group said it will release 100 units of its Spottiswoode Residences project for preview on Friday.

UOL expects the units to fetch about S$1.05 million for a one-bedroom apartment to S$2.67 million for a three-bedroom unit.

The developer added that sizes for typical one-bedroom to three-bedroom apartments vary from about 600 square feet to 1,400 square feet.

This works out to a price of about S$1,700 to S$2,100 per square foot.

Meanwhile, UOL also said that it might retain some units for later sale due to a potential upside.

The upside may stem from plans to turn Tanjong Pagar into a waterfront neighbourhood when the lease for the nearby port expires.

The 351-unit condominium at Spottiswoode Park Road, comprising a single-storey block, is expected to be ready by May 2014.

selling tactics will be similar to FEO.. progressive release of units floor by floor with price hike

11-11-10, 22:39
for a 3 bedder, if the balcony takes up about 300sqft, built in will be left with about 1100 which is starting to get a little tight. if it's 200sqft, then it's actually pretty decent by today's mickey mouse standards where 3 rooms are anything between 750sqft to 1060sqft.

the west facing mid flr onwards may actually be better with unblocked view of the city

the agents mentioned that the walk to outram mrt would be about 10 mins (tested).

I didn't find it amusing that some 3 bedders had 2 balconies and that 15% of the space of the one bedders were taken up by the balcony. There was a 1281 sq ft penthouse unit though - interesting.

I would expect that Roxy's Dragon Mansion site to undercut SR's price.

The park near the railway station may stay as the place may have a makeover to preserve the place as it has historical value.

The green patch is zoned residential 2.8 plot ratio, so it's going to be high rise. No luck on the area staying green. I agree that the north-west facing units are a safe bet when it comes to views.

Seriously this project is selling far into future price.

First those containers have to move. Then tender for new development... Easily 5-10 years. By the times the area is fully transformed, that would be 15-20 years liaw....

Agreed. The current developer's price has taken into consideration future premiums when the port will be relocated, and the locality as a whole undergoes transformation into a higher-end estate.

Levels above 27 are not launched yet - according to the agent, should be this wed, with prices up to 2500psf.

With prices like this for private housing, Pinnacle may well become the first HDB to fetch >1000psf in 5 years' time.

$1000psf = $1.2m for 5 room. Not impossible but very hard. Aint HDB meant for lower incomers? Mah will kena hammered if 5 room is around that price. Then again, it will be quoted again that - you cant afford, go stay in woodlands/sengkang/jurong. FYI, those areas aint cheap either.

For resale HDB market 1.2M is not high, considering the premium nature of pinnacle, and the fact that the household income cap does not apply.

Anyway, back to Spottiswood - has anyone noticed that the wardrobe in the 2-bedder master bedroom is insider a bomb shelter? Is this a first in Singapore - no space in bedroom for wardrobe, put it inside the bomb shelter? Going to be a challenge for the ID to hide the shelter door...

Spottiswoode Residences - Photo from TODAY



SINGAPORE: UOL Group said its latest Spottiswoode Residences project has seen strong preview sales.
About 87 per cent or 130 units of the total 150 released for sale since November 12 have been snapped up.
UOL says it will be releasing another 80 units for sale at Spottiswoode Residences’ main launch on Wednesday, November 17.
The property group added that 86 per cent of the buyers were Singaporeans with most buying the higher—priced units that command sea views.
Dolly Lian, UOL Group’s general manager of marketing said, "We believe buyers are excited about the potential transformation of the area into another waterfront city comparable to Marina Bay and an extended CBD area offering new lifestyle and workplace options."
Located near Outram MRT station, the 351—unit condominium at Spottiswoode Park Road saw units sold at prices ranging between $1,720 and $2,150 per square foot.
The group said four of the seven exclusive penthouses were sold, with one fetching $1,850 psf.
Spottiswoode Residences comprises a 36—storey block with mostly one and two—bedroom apartments, as well as three—bedroom units and penthouses.
Most of the one—bedroom to three—bedroom units have sizes varying from 603 square feet to 1,421 square feet.

I visited the showflat today. It was very crowded. After looking at the psf, the quality of the fitting and layout, it is seriously not worth it.

Seaview = view the port
Marble floor = cheap small rectangular pieces with wide joints + not covering entire living room
Other bed room and remaining living room flooring = cheap timber strips
Toilet = can't remember seeing any marble but quite cramp
Master bedroom and living room = very cramp
Balcony x 2 = waste of space
Carpark = cheap multi-storey
Amenities = no hawker center/ NTUC within 10 min walk
Immediate surrounding = very old HDB flats
Locality = old and quiet, it will be a bit dangerous for ladies at night.

Why pay $1.2 million for a 1 bedder with so much compromise. This project turns me off... UOL is testing its luck & reputation with this project.

property investment is merciless, one got to know what they are into and gamble with a clear mind. These pple have to learn their lessons. No pity.

Like I said, people buying in property launches are buying based on herd mentality… which accounts for the price different between new and resale.
Buying from resale is a more measured and contemplative approach to property investment. First you need to “bio” the development. Then you identify the unit you want, wait for seller to put on market, make offer, get offer rejected, make counteroffer….. blah, blah, blah….
Unlike new launch… take queue number to ballot for unit, then grab whatever available at whatever price….:beats-me-man:

Marketing agency has exploited the emotional buying strategy in a new launches. Better bring your spouse if you are married. If not married, better leave the cheque book at home.

Agree, bring spouse, at least hv 2nd opinion. Many times, agents quite pushy ESP if response is good and show flats crowded. Tendency to be sucked in is high...

Another plan that Mr Lee spoke about during the Rally was building of the new port in Tuas, which would consolidate all port operations in Singapore that are currently spread across Tanjong Pagar, Keppel, Brani and Pasir Panjang.

These port leases will end from 2027 onwards and the new port will be “bigger and more efficient” so Singapore can stay a “hub port”, Mr Lee said.

Hi

I got an email saying you have also posted below. Not sure why i cant find it here.. It is a good post, so I am putting it back here:

"
***************
Looks like Spottiswoode Residences was the last freehold launch in this area? Been a while since then. Now there is another new freehold launch coming up, the Sky Everton condo. On the site of the former Asia Gardens. Land cost was $1,700 PSF, so breakeven cost for Sky Everton (http://"https://esingaporeproperty.sg/property/sky-everton-condo/“) could be about $2,200 to $2,300 PSF. Which means that the selling price is anybody's guess. Certainly makes the price of Spottiswoode look cheap. The advantage of this project is that it is within walking distance, like about 8 minutes walk from Outram MRT station. And there is Spottiswoode Park next door, so until that piece of greenery gets sold to build another high rise, the south facing units at Sky Everton should be able to get sea views, especially since the port has already started moving to Tuas, and should be fully done by the time that the Sky Everton condo is built. The Sky Everton showflat (http://"https://esingaporeproperty.sg/property/sky-everton-condo/“) preview could be around June, so not many details at the moment yet. However, the final go-ahead from the authorities is still pending, and perhaps the developer may push to July, since June is the school holiday period and a lot of families are away on vacation then.

Three-bedroom penthouse at Spottiswoode Residences for sale at $5.38 mil

April 20, 2023

A three-bedroom penthouse at Spottiswoode Residences will be put up for auction by Singapore Realtors Inc (SRI) on April 26. An owner’s sale, this 2,486 sq ft unit on the 36th floor is priced at $5.38 million, translating to $2,164 psf on the floor area.

The upper floor of this duplex penthouse features a roof terrace with space for a jacuzzi and open-air decks. This floor also comprises an en suite junior master bedroom with direct access to the outdoor deck.

The lower floor of the unit features an en suite master bedroom and the third bedroom. A common bathroom is located on this floor. The kitchen leads to a small service yard, a toilet, and a bomb shelter. The rest of the space on this floor comprises the dining and living areas, which are connected to a sheltered balcony. SRI says the unit will be sold with an existing tenancy due to expire at the end of August.

Located at Spottiswoode Park Road in District 2, Spottiswoode Residences is a freehold development by the mainboard-listed UOL Group. The 351-unit project was completed in 2013. The unit mix mostly comprises one- and two-bedroom units, 25 three-bedroom units, and seven penthouses. The one- to three-bedroom units range from 592 sq ft to 1,421 sq ft, and the penthouses range from 1,281 sq ft to 2,906 sq ft.

Sited on the outskirts of the CBD and closest to the Tanjong Pagar and Outram neighbourhoods, Spottiswoode Residences is near the Singapore General Hospital at Third Hospital Avenue and surrounding medical institutions and buildings like Outram Community Hospital at Hospital Boulevard, National Heart Centre at Hospital Drive, and Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School on SGH Campus.

Spottiswoode Residences offers easy connectivity through nearby public transport and road networks. Outram MRT Interchange Station is less than 300m from the condo, serving the East-West, North-East, and Thomson-East Coast Lines. The upcoming Cantonment MRT Station, part of the last phase of the Circle Line, is less than 200m away and is expected to be operational in 2026.

Nearby public and private residential developments include HDB’s 50-storey Pinnacle @ Duxton on Cantonment Road, condos Spottiswoode Suites and Spottiswoode 18 on Spottiswoode Park Road, and the soon-to-be-completed Sky Everton on Everton Road. The conservation houses on Blair Road and Everton Road are located nearby.

When Spottiswoode Residences was launched for sale in November 2010, the project garnered an overwhelming response from buyers. The developer sold 130 (87%) of the 150 units initially released for sale. Sales continued to be brisk, and buyers bought up a total of 275 units (78% of the total number of units) after another three weeks. At the time, prices in the new launch ranged from $1,720 psf to $2,150 psf. URA caveats indicate that the unit on the block was bought from the developer for $4.58 million ($1,842 psf) in December 2010.

So far, there has only been one resale transaction at Spottiswoode Residences this year. It involved a 926 sq ft, two-bedroom unit on the 35th floor, which changed hands for $2.35 million ($2,539 psf) on April 6.

Last year, there were 10 resale transactions at the condo. Sales ranged from a 603 sq ft one-bedder on the 32nd floor that fetched $1.3 million ($2,157 psf) in September 2022 to a 936 sq ft two-bedder on the 17th floor that changed hands for $2.17 million ($2,317 psf) in December.

The most recent sale of a penthouse unit at Spottiswoode Residences was in March 2021, when a 2,906 sq ft, three-bedroom duplex was sold for $5 million ($1,720 psf). This unit had been bought from the developer for $4.25 million ($1,462 psf) in November 2014.

Based on a tabulation of resale caveats by EdgeProp Singapore, Spottiswoode Residences commands an average price of $2,175 psf. This is on a par with other freehold condos in the area, also built in the 2010s. For example, Spottiswoode 18 — completed in 2014 — has an average price of $2,120 psf, while Spottiswoode Suites — completed in 2017 — has an average price of $2,236 psf.
