What kind of layout is that? Seriously, it is so not livable. Anyway, will be a sold out project in a few days. Psf easily 2.5 to 3k I feel. 3k x 484 sq ft only 1.45 million. 1.45 million for bay view, cheap.

Why do they bother with a study.... just increase the size of the living. 1 big room is better than 2 small useless rooms. Can't even walk pass the sofa and coffee table to back to the balcony.

Also very large a/c ledge.... large enough for a/c equipment to freeze tiny MM unit.

Lifestyle mah. At least u can tell people you have a "study room". Anyway, such longish, what I term as "corridor" layout, is quite common nowadays - even for 2-3 bedders.

realistically, the study is the dining room.

The wall between bedroom and living has to go, so bedroom and living is combined.

At least that is more liveable.

So a so-called 1 bedroom + 1 study is really a studio apartment

should be able to. just across the street. the reason why the smaller units are not 2 bedrooms and not 1+study is because there cannot be any windows. only the 2 units on each side of the building can be 2 bedders. otherwise, design more or less the same. LOL. bad cross ventilation for all the 1+study. just have to on air con all day. most definitely not for cooking enthusiasts! :D

Looking at the size of the units, sure sellout one, no matter how bad is the layout. Buyers just look at absolute quantum and anything multiply by 480 sq ft will be a palatable number for the middle class investor. I just hope developers don't market this as luxury because how can a 484sqft shoe box be luxurious? If all our prime location property has to downsize so much, it just means the noveau rich investors r sorely missing in today's market.

09 June 09 The Business Times

VTB Building said to have changed hands for $71 million (http://forums.condosingapore.com/) VTB Building, an ageing freehold office block on Robinson Road, is said to have been sold for $71 million or about $1,061 per square foot (psf) based on existing net lettable area (NLA).
The price is about 18 per cent higher than the offers of around $60 million that the property had drawn earlier, as reported by BT last month.
The buyer is understood to be a joint venture between Yi Kai Group and Fission Group. The two are jointly developing the Alexis condo near Queenstown MRT station which sold like hot cakes earlier this year.
The sale of VTB Building entails a relatively long completion period of six months, which is when seller VTB Capital, part of VTB group (formerly known as Moscow Narodny Bank), will deliver vacant possession on the property to the buyers. Yi Kai and Fission are said to have bought the 16-storey building with an eye on tearing it down and redeveloping it into a residential project, subject to approval from the authorities to rezone the site, which is currently designated for commercial use.
The long completion period for the transaction gives more options to the buyers. 'They could, among other things, potentially be looking at flipping the property,' a market watcher suggested.
Another possibility would be to retrofit the existing office block and optimising its NLA. That was an option that some of the contenders for the property, which are said to have included overseas players, looked at.
VTB Building is more than 30 years old and has a 9,052 sq ft land area and a gross floor area of just over 91,000 sq ft, which reflects a plot ratio of 10.05. Under Master Plan 2008, the site is zoned for commercial use with an 11.2 + plot ratio and 35-storey maximum height.
The property is close to the Cross Street MRT station, which is scheduled to open around 2012 under Downtown Line 1.
Assuming that Fission and Yi Kai redevelop VTB Building for residential use, their $71 million acquisition price translates to a land cost of about $700 psf per plot ratio (based on an 11.2 plot ratio and assuming no development charge is payable). The breakeven cost for a new residential project could be about $1,100-$1,200 psf.
VTB's existing NLA is said to be 66,888 sq ft and roughly half of this space is currently empty. The remaining occupants, including VTB, will move out by year end. The bank is said to be considering a few locations in the CBD to lease premises, tapping current low office rents.
DTZ is understood to have brokered the VTB Building deal.

This is the third office block to have changed hands over the past month, after Parakou Building and Anson House. Parakou Building, a fairly new freehold property at the Robinson Road/McCallum Street corner, was purchased for $81.38 million or $1,280 psf of NLA by a unit of Cathay Organisation. Anson House changed hands for around $85 million or slightly over $1,100 psf of NLA. It was completed 11 years ago and is on a site with a remaining lease of around 87 years.

Looking at the size, even if at close to 3k psf, it's only 1.3 or 1.4 million? So upfront cash is only $260k? I'm sure a lot of middle class has $200k+ to "play". Just hope they don't get burnt one day when there is no demand for such small units when TOP. But I'm sure it's highly affordable for the middle class investor who wants to have a CBD unit as a trophy or to partake in the MM party.

wah... 2 bedder with at least 1200sq ft... that is a rarity these days....

On the verge of extinction....

Like it or not, it's the smaller units that give better rental return. I'm not taking about the extreme MM units (400sq ft with bay windows and planters), but the slightly larger ones, say 600sq ft.

28-10-10, 21:09
It's an important criteria for the decision to buy or not, especially for MM units.

The area of a carpark is 2.4m by 4.8m that's 120sqft. (not counting the driveway) That's 25% of an MM unit of 480sqft.

I need to know if the MM comes with a carpark for an informed decision....

Carpark can also make money you know....

few years back govt alerady decided that we shouldnt waste space in CBD area on car park ..

so i doubt it will have a lot to each unit

the office buildings in CBD have fewer and fewer carpark too ..

28-10-10, 21:35
Which is exactly why I asked. If it comes with carpark, perhaps 3k per sq ft isn't such a bad price.

even if they provide 1to1 car lot....u dun own it wat...its considered as common ppty and u cannot rent it out leh?:confused:

not unless u buy those ppty tat comes with acessory lot attached to ur strate title deed...and even this case, i am not sure whether u can rent out ur car lot legally anot....some units at international plaza comes with accessory lot...any1 care to shed some light? can they rent out their car lot?

You are paying about 1.5mil for a unit. If your renting it out for 4% returns, it would be 5k a month. For someone who can afford 1.5mil for an apartment or 5k rental a month, he should be able to afford a car.

How much does it cost to have season parking in raffles place $300+ a month.

If given a development with or without carpark, which would you choose?

The next question is who owns the carpark, the developer or the MCST. If it's the MCST, at least the carpark money goes to the maintenance of the property. If the developer owns it, you're at his mercy for the parking rates if you drive.

There are developments within the CBD that comes with carparks, eg Emerald gardens, arris (yes, I know)....

The carpark is definitely a plus.

just continue to aim ur landed segment....before landed also starts to shrink in sizes? lol

it has already started ... look at clustered housing ..

they are fake landed .. with tiny land ..built tall tall 5 storey to achieve 2500-3500 sqft ?

by the time you climb to roof top ....all the blood rushed to your feet ..you faint

it's usually the smaller 1 bedroom units (to keep quantum low and yet affordable rental wise), at the fringe of the city (not expensive enough kill the rental yield but convenient enough command good rentals) eg southbank

Need to shift out from his parent place (Hougang) asap, so he was desparate then I think. Could it also be that it is $2800 bcoz is just for one year lease so landlord up the price? He seems to love the place, may be bcoz he does not drive. So the close proximity of the MRT weigh favorably to him.

But then $2800 is really steep for a MM. One of my friend who sold his landed and rented a 3-bedder (1400 sq ft) at a condo along Tampines Road (cannot remember name but small project with no full condo facility) for also $2800.

So MM near MRT and town does fetch a premium. But just how many such tenants like my lecturer are entering the rental market is the main question:D

Notice how the developer realised how impossible their plans are? They have conveniently "forgotten" to install the following in their showflat:-

1) Wall between bedroom and living
2) Glass door between living and balcony
3) Wall between your unit and your neighbour:rolleyes:

Planter, air-con ledge do not require must furnishing, wall treatment, and flooring with marbles etc so cheaper to build mah, and balcony also cheaper to build than inner build-up area mah (also developer can allocate extra 10% space for balcony not included in the GFA), so for sure balcony must be big lah!. :banghead:

Some comments on Park Infinia:

- Mass market condo design located in CCR (486 units! Difficult to find so many units estate in CCR! More like those OCR mass market condos & ECs!).

- Bad design, yard area no sun no wind, so either use dryer (expensive on pocket) or hang laundry on balconies (again, prime private properties have by-laws to disallow that - so can only say PI is being managed like mass market condos).

- Many MM units in such a big estate! As with other MM condo estate, such units attract characters of vast (& sometimes dubious) background. Not really good for families with young kids. Saw many youngsters / young people smoking near the fence before.

Expected VIP Preview is est to be 3rd to 4th wk of Nov. Lots of check collected so far...so I presume it will be like another 76 Shenton Way....1 day sell-out if developer price it right...priority given to level buyers, then multiple purchase...then finally single unit purchase buyers with cheque. Can do non-obligatory presentation to potential buyers ...city house starbucks is a cosy place to do presentation. Pls feel free to contact me @ 81835132 at anytime for non-obligatory presentation. Cheers

Aiyah... no need for presentation lah.... The discussion in this forum has dug out more issues that can be or will be presented...:)

How many cheques have you collected personally....

There will be an operational cost of the automated system. Initially is relatively low. May jack up after 1st year which happens in some development. Good thing is it is inclusive of a parking lot. Wonder how many carpark lots in total?
Carpark are located fr #02 to #06...automated carpk...maint fee tentatively 180 per mth inclusive of carpk lots. First come first basis but since most potential buyers will be buying to rent out to tenants who mostly dun hav cars... some lucky owners may have 2 carpark lots for the price of 1...carpk for nw is first cme first serve basis n subj to mgt ...hope tt answers ur qn...and yes...developer is holding #08 to #14. Nt sure if fund bought or they want to release low flr as phase 2. No news as yet...will update more when the official developer briefing is here. :cheers6:

Even if tenants don't have car, the LLs will definitely chope a lot of "own use" one lah. So the probability of getting 2 lots will be close to zero.

Cannot imagine if system breaks down (which happens very often in such automated car parks) or the long queues and waiting time to retrieve the car during rush hours.

lift maintenance oredi not cheap lor...

Automated car park system? Think of lifts - 1 not enough, need at least 2 (1 under maintenance 1 still can work), even then, costs of maintenance is already quite high. Can't imagine 1 car lift and the amount of time needed to queue up to use them at different levels! When the lift mal-functioned or go under maintenance, all residents don't need to drive in or out liao! :doh:
Residents better pray that the car lift is of superb quality! I know of a building which is only 3 years old and have 4 lifts and at least 1 or 2 of them will always be down and need maintenance (even though the lifts are just 3 years old)!

I believe the automated system is like those in Japan. You bring your car into this lift like thingy and it parks the car automatically for you. You don't park the car yourself. The system will bring the car back to you at the ground level when you want it.

Or are we talking about a car lift....

That's 2 different systems.

07-11-10, 19:40
Did you ask the wrong question? How can using a car lift not increase the maintenance fee vs not having a car lift? How can there be no problem with the car lift as they age? Definitely will be down for maintenance except how long is the down time right? You probably mean "how much higher is the maintenance fee with this car lift"? Then you have to factor in what age is the car lift?

I'm assuming that it's a fully automated parking system. The no. of cars that goes into such a system will occupy a much smaller area than a conventional parking system.

The cost of maintaining the mechanical parts of the system has to be weighed against the cost of cleaning, sweeping, painting a conventional carpark. A conventional basement carpark will also have loads of mechanical ducts and stuff, that may be simplified in an auto system (since no human will be in there).

Not sure if anyone has done a comparative system :beats-me-man:

So you are saying mechical car park do not need cleaning sweeping, and painting, and have less mechanical ducts and stuff? No human need to be there? What about when broken down? May be the technician will ask for 500% extra in service charges because need to go to dangerous condition (like going into mine)? :p

As far as I know, the jervois jade one is working fine. A lot of car lift systems have been in use in a number of buildings around Tokyo. So far so good.

But I have never owned a property that uses car lifts, hence cannot comment on the cost.

Maintenance fees of $180 inclusive of carpark lot...frankly i do not think it will be this cheap for a CBD development inclusive of a carpark lot. It just does not make sense for it to be so low with season parking in CBD costing easily more than this amt. I would think $180 is the maintenance fees only without a carpark lot. If residents wants a carpark lot, most likely will have to pay extra, just like any other developments in CBD. Just don't get your hopes up too high that $180 will be including of carpark lot. If it happens, its a bonus.

totally agree. don't be sold on an idea that is too good to be true. it probably is. even 180 without carpark seems too good to be true (but possible) when suites at orchard is $500!

i think that situation (insufficient parking time bomb situation) is more likely to happen say for eg at shelford suites (80 car park lots for 77 units) where most units are family sized 3 bedders. for smack in cbd and mostly 1+1 units, prob won't have such a situation.

If the parkng fees goes to condo's sinking fund or maintenance fund, that's fine. In a way the car owner's are subsidising the maintenance of the condo. That's provided the carparks are owned by the MCST, not the developers. Anyone can verify that?

yup I agree that one shenton owners can probably ride on RS results and try to ask for more $$$... but in my opinion it still does not cover up the fact that its surrounding views, or lack of them, are pretty disadvantageous to it.

even RS has a view to speak of in the sense that the next tall building in the future will at least be one lau pa sat + 2 roads away. one shenton, on the other hand, faces asia square + SGX with only 1 road in between each of them...

maybe that's why RS buyers willing to pay more? in addition to the premium for freehold over leasehold, which i do think was a big selling point for investors looking for such properties simply because it is the only conspicuous freehold project in the area (vs. hidden emerald garden).

maybe i'm beating the "view" factor to death but i'm just trying to think like a tenant who, though accepts that he won't get much of a view in CBD, would at least prefer not to feel claustrophobic in his own condo and try to find a place which does not directly look into another building with only 1 road away... some more big Asia Square is so wide and tall vs. ORQ which are of different heights and angles when blocking the sail which makes it less bad than one shenton.

Let's see the estimated rental for a 1 bedder at RS:

Cost = $ 1,600,000
70% Loan = $ 1,120,000
Instalment on 2.5% Interest = $ 4,400
Maintenance mthly = $ 300
4% tax on AV of $60k mthly = $ 200
Breakeven rental = $ 4,900

Based on The Sail 1 bedder nearby rental of $4,000 with a nice sea view, and the fact that the owners bought at much lower price and able to compete with RS owner for tenants, RS is a bit risky for rental income. So the people buying are mostly investor waiting for capital appreciation.

I think for the clift there are still a handful of speculators under the old deferred payment scheme. With the TOP soon, some of them are in hurry to sell the units hence the average prices are on a relatively low side now.

I saw in the classified ad some weeks ago, whereby FEO are letting out some units at clift as service apartments, anyone knows what FEO are asking ?

I think the right conclusion should be: Buy new launch ones at significantly higher prices than resale properties nearby (anywhere in Singapore) surely get very lousy rental returns compared to buying resales nearby (not to mention paying interest for next 3 years without being able to rent out). But somehow, the buyers are not bothered. :confused: If so, why are we bothered?
Imagine buyers buying The Vision at $1300 psf and they can rent out at $2.20 psf. Yield is like 2%?. :o


I also say.

The super prime ones are offering lousy rental returns. The ones at the fringe of the super prime (especially MMs) as still offering reasonable yields.

Seriously, I don't think so. Those who are on DPS probably bought at super low price. Like 600 - 700k.




I think for the clift there are still a handful of speculators under the old deferred payment scheme. With the TOP soon, some of them are in hurry to sell the units hence the average prices are on a relatively low side now.

I saw in the classified ad some weeks ago, whereby FEO are letting out some units at clift as service apartments, anyone knows what FEO are asking ?

Its a investment decision.
Price low (now) rental expected to go up (later) = buy BUC.
Price high (now) rental expected to go down (later) = buy shares
Price low (now) rental expected to go up (now) = buy resale.
Price high (now) rental expected to go down (now) = Buy shares

After reading the news about the sold out of RS, I can conclude Clift is super under price. One shenton is 1.3M, RS is close to 1.3M and you can still get Clift at 1M I believe.

Yes, heard from an agent marketing RS that 15 floor 500 sqft unit sold for $1.3m. Applying 25% freehold premium, means leasehold clift and one shenton's market price should be $1.04m.

Seems like clift at $1m is at market pricing but one shenton is overpriced at $1.3m! Why would someone buy a leasehold at freehold prices?? Unless I'm missing something here...

shd based on PSF...

15th flr RS around 2650psf...low flr clift around 1950psf....25% based on 1950psf = 2450psf...200psf diff....plus 4yrs of waiting(no rental income + 3yrs SSD)

Construction started in mid 2011, so just close to 2 years now....not 4 years as you said. I'm keeping a close eye on Robinson Suites as it is the same developer as Loft 1.

Room was ultra-modern featuring flat screens in each room. Bathroom was spacious with state of the art shower features and room had floor to ceiling windows. It is very nice place.

Agree, my sister bought a unit there and now the price already risen by $1M. So I can only afford the cheaper one loft by same developer.

Does each unit come with carpark, or have to pay season parking?

This is a giant joke at Robinson Suites. Units come with a carpark, underground automatic robot lift thingy. BUT, the so called management says that priority is given to owner who are staying in the property themselves. As of now, the car park is any given day 80% empty (can see from the robolift screen) but unit owners nor tenants are given a slot. On top of that, there is ZERO visitor parking slots. That being said, the area downstairs where you cant park is most days filled with some random cars. Assuming the draconian guards just make a side business with that. Stay away from this property.

Might be too late for many, but a quick heads up for those who are planning to buy or rent from Robinson Suites. The so called "security" is a joke downstairs. They will randomly check documents from visitors, try to confiscate your documents while visiting, make RUDE and totally unnecessary comments about things that are none of their business etc. It's a farking joke since there is NO condo manager at all, the guards run the place as they see please. Location is amazing but everything is ruined by these muppets downstairs. Recommended to stay away from this one. Also lately a lot of units are available via Airbnb since nobody in their right mind want to rent a unit. This results in backpackers coming and going constantly, having parties and what not.
