View Full Version : Waterview (D18, 99-year Leasehold, Sim Lian Group)
Well done my friend. To me , a recession is like a famine in the animal kingdom. The outcome of the famine is - the weak animals will disappear from the earth and the strong will survive.
So the recession will weed out the weak and the strong will prevail. Please do look at it factually and not in a negative way.
So whoever survived a recession will come out stronger.
Well done
:cheers4: :cheers4: :cheers4:
Yes, it always will be that way. Sad to say and it's really very tough to make the call when to sell/buy. Experience, information and luck. Cant really miss one out, can we?
Really blur about property when buying WV, through this forum learned a lot and hopefully know how to apply that for further purchases.:D

Mr Tay, are u going to do like this??
http://prozfile.com.sg/beta-images/main/ss-two.png
Hi EastLover, I don't have many books, in any case at my age less book reading nowadays. Will use one of the bedrooms for study/music listening. I spend more time in the study - surfing plus listen to classical music whereas my wife is more in the living room - korean/taiwan dramas - ha ha. We don't have a maid, so do our own laundry, drying, ironing etc, so the yard area will be a major area of focus too - ie organise storage for hangers, pegs, etc for easy retrieval. Wife likes everything hidden away, sort of uncluttered look, so will have lots of closets in bedrooms, study and living areas.
:doh:

This photo shows u an idea of how to join living room with study room :D they removed the wall In between, so make living hall looks much bigger at first sight. I remember u mentioned u want to ask SL to remove the wall. Already finalized ur requirement with SL?
How old are u? 40 - 45 range?
Not that old la, mid 30s. :D Hopefully still not too late to make properties investments as a way to retirement, hahahaha:cheers4:

I c. Thks. Have dropped the idea for now. Already concluded requirements with SL early this year, so too late to change, and will be quite a hassle to knock down wall for new flat .. eg may void 1 yr maintenance warranty, air-con fan coil lkiely have to be shifted or removed temporarily etc. With study separate, wife can watch tv and me listen to my music without disturbing each other .... :sleep:

So u about. About 1 cycle younger than me. You should be able to take advance of 1 more recession. For this, u need to save 40% just in case. Your tenure of loan also will be reduced. So u need to buffer more money... As the years passes by, the tenor shortens,,,,

Don't know much about iron wood. But chengai, no termite, can last many, many, many years. My outdoor furniture with me for 15 years liao. But chegnai super ex now. When I did my roof terrace 6 yrs ago, it cost me >20k. But worth every cent.

Thanks! I'm sourcing for my planter, one said Australia iron wood good, less gap, one said chengai is suitable for Singapore weather, iron wood too soft.... Confused.
Maybe I open one thread to ask :D

A lot of new devts all painted white...wonder why..:confused:
it gives that clean fresh look. then 5 years later, MC will pick a duller colour, something that is "easier" to maintain.

They already mentioned that the blocks will be white washed. I guess that's how it will look like with blue tinted windows. :D

Clover was also blue...

Good one. Don't know. I have a tendency of discovering a lot of things at a later stage. Sorri. My objective for condos are 1. Capital gains, or 2. Rental yield.
With clover , it was view... I actually asked for the view at >25 floor. So my agent got the workers to snap a photo. I saw, I like, I bought.
I have never seen a blue window in any condo.... But definitely, clover had blue windows. Before top, they removed it. It is like a layer of covering to protect the window panes during construction.

WV progress is very very positive :47:

Can see thru, it's tinted blue for the balcony glass panels.
The Grange Infinite I mentioned earlier at orchard comes in pink as seen in the attached pic
Bro Chestnut, was Clover's windows presented as blue in the sales brochures?
Specs and contract say tinted glass windows. Sales brochure shows a bluish tint which is much lighter than the current darkish blue glass protector covering. My take is there will be a light bluish tint in the windows. ;)

Nut nut bro... Managed to dig up some old photos. From outside seems really blue, but from inside still ok. I remember it feels quite comfortable inside, but I hv nv spent a single night there.

Sim Lian has so far released 348 units of the development.
Sim Lian Group is understood to have sold about 200 units at its Waterview condo at Bedok Reservoir since it began previewing the project on Tuesday this week. The average price is $838 per square foot.
On the other side of Bedok Reservoir, along a stretch boasting a more scenic view of the water, Frasers Centrepoint and Far East Organization are selling units at their Waterfront Gold project at about $980 psf and at Waterfront key at around $1,000 psf.
Sim Lian has so far released about half or 348 units of the 696-unit Waterview condo.
The 99-year leasehold project will be officially launched today, accompanied by an advertising campaign.
Units in the 15-storey development range from two to four-bedders; there are also six-bedroom penthouses. Sizes range from 786 sq ft for a two-bedroom apartment to 4,768 sq ft for a penthouse.
The project is at the corner of Tampines Avenue 1 and 10, next to The Tropica.
Sim Lian is developing the project on a site that it clinched at a state tender in March this year for $421 psf of potential gross floor area.
Most of the units in the Waterview’s 12 blocks face the reservoir, Tampines Quarry or swimming pools in the development.
The condo’s walls will be washed white and have blue glass windows to reflect the water theme for the project.

Dropped by WV to take a sneak peek while on the way out. I must say the carpark has become a public viewing gallery. Three other couples there smiling and gesturing to each other while pointing endlessly here and there.
Stack 18 has been painted with the first coat of paint and windows up to mid floor. Looks like stack 14 will follow suit next. Although it's Dewali, consturuction is still in progress today. :D

Does anyone know whether the windows are sliding or push out?
There are 4 window panes. Only the centre 2 can slide open to the sides. I saw this in one of the reservoir facing 3 storey units. The doors happened to be open when i was there. I am thinking of changing to those that can be pushed all the way to one side once we can do so :) This will make the living area bigger :)
You are referring to the balcony glass panels i guess? You are correct that they are sliding.
For bedroom windows only the left and right panels can be opened by push out.

Glass are not noise proof.

A true reflection of water like mentioned. Personally, I prefer it to be slightly brownish tinted. But ok lah. No complains. Blue looks a little odd to me.
The windows will definitely be those pushed out type with sliding doors for the balcony. :)
Hi all, I drive by WV everyday when my kids are in school as I will have to pass by that area, looking at it grow, is really like seeing your investment/home....grow - Literally speaking too!!
I am excited and it was my wife's good idea to choose this place, I was choosing Palatte in Pasir Ris, but since seeing between the two, I think WV was a better purchase for my family.
We overlook the quarry View, looking forward to many hi-fi's and smiles soon!!
Cheers to all!
Honestly we should have a party! Pot-luck style, everyone bring something and just chill together! Also good to be good neighbors!
:cheers5:

Thanks bro! I suspected that it will be Mitsubishi as well. SL has a contract with them I think. Quite ok lah. Wonder if it's an inverter or the normal ones. Hope it's an inverter. Can save electricity. :D
Cool literally can see the corridor lights on.
Some of the blue plastic are removed and showing blue tint glass below. :D

Thanks east guy! I think we will have some space outside the main door :rolleyes: so we can put our shoe rack outside :cheers1: because there is a good distance between the main door to the corridor facing reservoir - see the last two photos :)
I was referring to the bedroom windows. Do you mean that only the left and right windows can be pushed out but the centre panel is fixed and cannot be opened?

Yes, based on what they show in showflat, that centre panel is fixed. I hope the left & right window at least can open fully.

Clover is like this... Only left and right can open. Be careful when top. U leave the window open. When it rains, it water will get in and parquet will spoil. A few units had this problem in clover.

Dropped by WV to take a sneak peek while on the way out. I must say the carpark has become a public viewing gallery. Three other couples there smiling and gesturing to each other while pointing endlessly here and there.
Stack 18 has been painted with the first coat of paint and windows up to mid floor. Looks like stack 14 will follow suit next. Although it's Dewali, consturuction is still in progress today. :D
Haha, I have to say, our FEC very active one :D

At 5% inflation per yr, will take bout 15 yrs to reach 2m from 1m. With land scarce S'pore, more likely within 10 yrs. Considering that 2 yrs already since launch, 10 yrs isn't that far away...:sleep:

It's more like a shelter to me. Mainly for lids to swim and all. These kids, they simply low water!!
Maybe sell WV in future to kids and I migrate back to HDB. But a 5-rm flat is a little too huge for my liking at old age. :p

Wahhh... Thought you lost in space bro. Its been long since we last hear from you.
Hehe. Nice emergence. This place is always somehow associated with '8' where we like it or not. Those with life path no.8 will love the surroundings here.
Hmmmm. I will make a wild guess that the place will TOP sometime in August 2013. Which meets the 3rd quarter estimation a reality. :D

This will sell out before Qbay launch... Let me now start to share with you all a little bit of my knowledge...
Sim Lian's WaterView project had little marketing. They literally use Orange Tee as their marketing agent for all projects. Guess why??? OT was bot over by Sim Lian. That's right.
So with Qbay, they will send messages and bombard the customers with sms, e-mail on Qbay via the agent/s hired to get the job done. Qbay will then come under radar which in turn will bring Tropica and WaterView under radar.
So, that's the beauty with Sim Lian's project. A few of Sim Lian's project :
Clover by the Park, Rochelle, Carabelle, all very low profile...
Only when another project starts, then it comes under the radar of potential owners and investors.
That's why I love Sim Lian project. Very minimal money is spent on marketing and the prices are very attractive, which allows you to make some money out of it.
I hope I am right again this time... If I am wrong, please dont hamtam me because I also vested hor. But I am 80% confident. Of course, if the economy takes a dip, what to do? LL la.... Hahahaha...
So guys, get ready....
Clover prices did not climb until Thomson Grand came about and it really rose when Sky Habitat came...
So with a few more plots of land out for bidding, you should see the rise of this property.. Hoping all of us see paper gain. Better than paper lost rite. Hahahaha.
:cheers4::cheers4::cheers4:
Oh, forgot, Sis East Lover gonna make twice with WV and Tropica.

Based on your experience and observation, is there a compromise in quality for SL projects since they are marketed cheaper than their competitors? In terms of material and finish?
Heard many said that all their projects no standard that's why cheap. All HDB quality and look like HDB/DBSS. Don't know how true. No such experience as yet. :sleep:

I know this question is for chestnut but just wanted to share my observation on the material and finish based on what i have observed for SL's CBTP.
Interior finish is of decent quality but w/o the bell and whistles say if you compare to a CDL/FEO/FCL projects. It is more basic but then the $ saved can get you a decent ID to do up the house.
Personally, I felt CBTP facilities, open areas could do with a bit more of landscaping cos it does look bare and cold when I visited. The location is good no doubt but too much concrete, so it really didn't feel 'condo-like' and the clubhouse/shuttle bus pickup point look really small by today standards.
From the looks of it, SL did a much better job with the 8 pool this time rd with WV.
Oops, missed this one out... Bakasa stated correctly. The interior very basic but finishing good. But all condos same lah... Sme of u all changed to marble, rite... Pay a few k more only.... Better than they mark up 100 k for the interior rite....
So finishing inside meet expectation like any developer.
For exterior, cannot fight w cdl, feo, wing tai... But u must understand, u need to pay a premium for those....
But cbtp has bishan park, and wv has the park at bedok reservoir. Some thing, money can't buy. Got it... Go for those....
Those, money can buy, can be resolved with ID or joining mcst member..l

True bro. Anyway, I alwas prefer a 'square' simple home. Not too cluttered ad without ID at work. Heheh. Maybe its just me.
Btw, drive past so decided to sneak peek again. From cp can see te real shade of window on the 8th storey of stack 18 for it has been peeled as removed.
Window panels up to the 8th story for stack 18 and they're busy whistling while painting Stack 14 and many were lost in the world of the 8. The pool seems to be their area of focus now. :p

Can we add more things/values to our WV? For example, airconded study room? I know AQBP has 2, DBR Library very good, can we do something to improve our landscape and facility?
dark secret...:D

Ok, this in the management committee do not get paid for the job. It is not an enviable job because u will kana question by owners during annual meeting....
But to some, it is worth it. As a committee member, u need to be involved in meeting to discuss which contractor to use for
- Maintenance of landscape within condo
- painting work
- security guards hiring
- agent to manage estate.
Now, comes the dark secret.... If your relative or friend in the above biz, u can sub to him... It is happening.... The amount is big OK....

Correct sis, but I have never used leh..for the last 12 yrs. I think utilization used to be rather poor in the past, so its a waste as its paid thru the monthly fees, but nowadays with more foreigners, looks like more people using...
But I agree should have for WV. very few SBS buses there leh..compared with AQBP :sleep:

Bro, so is it blue shade?
True bro. Anyway, I alwas prefer a 'square' simple home. Not too cluttered ad without ID at work. Heheh. Maybe its just me.
Btw, drive past so decided to sneak peek again. From cp can see te real shade of window on the 8th storey of stack 18 for it has been peeled as removed.
Window panels up to the 8th story for stack 18 and they're busy whistling while painting Stack 14 and many were lost in the world of the 8. The pool seems to be their area of focus now. :p
Bro, so is it blue shade?
The word used was 'shade' but if you look at the real one at the site itself, it reflected the exact blue which we can see in the booklet given to us upon arrival at the showroom 2 years ago.
So, jackpot. It's blue!:D

No prob :D You're right....they're not brick walls...looks like those office type of walls but perhaps thicker and hopefully stronger. Anyone familiar with the technicalities? Mr. Tay?
I would refer back to the contract specs .. on Walls b) Internal-Common clay brick/reinforcement concrete walls/cement and sand block/aerated block and/or DRY WALL (emphasis mine)
See attached BCA article on DRY WALL - a technological improvement :confused:
I read somewhere in some projects that someone could hear their neighbours talking :rolleyes: Well we will know come Xmas 13 :doh:
As for what seem like ventilation panels, beats me :confused: the staircase landing is half wall, unless they got something boxed up near the floor level that needs to be ventilated
They r called dry wall a.k.a partition lah.:D Alot of projects r using this type of "walls" as its cheaper n faster to build.
Jokes aside, seems like dry walls have all the advantages and benefits and even save the developer construction costs, then how come we are paying more and more psf :banghead: Does this mean also I can remove the bedroom wall adjacent to the living room, since relocation of internal partition wall (as mentiioned in the BCA flyer) should be a breeze

For lvl 4, a bit tough leh, its at about the height where the branches start, but for me, at AQBP its also 4th storey with pool view. That time, vy few units left with pool view and I guess some people hesitant to choose lvl 4 .. pan tang, but we are ok, at AQBP its #04-04 so can also say not bad leh ;) and we like this end of the reservoir, to me for stay-in, view is only one factor, I go to the park vy often, but of course a view from the top is quite mesmerizing vs a ground view ... still am pretty satisfied ...:sleep:

Not to worry Sis, should be good. Anyway there are established standards. With two layer boards and steel struts, should have stc of around 40 to 50 which is comparable with brick walls. Buildables use Boral gypsum boards and Rondo struts which are quite well established. Gives us flexibility to reconfigure internal layout easier in future years. :cheers4:

Hmnn, so they are using the Starmex MSY Series Wall Mounted Type. We see only 2x MXY 4A38VA for the outdoor units (ie condensers), should there be 1 more ? For 3 bedders, I see 3 electrical isolators in the contract. But 3 is rather extravagant. More likely its 1 condenser to 2or3 fan coils (living and dining plus study if you have one) and the other condenser to the 3 bedroom fancoils for the 3 bedder. Then why two air con ledges 9each can take 2 condensers). AQBP has only 1 aircon ledge with 2 condensers and 2 isolators to 5 fan coils for the 3 bedder. :beats-me-man:

Yup fully paid. The criteria was was never to sell the HDB. If wife wanted to sell HDB then I would not hv purchased WV. Hehe. :D
Bro, when top, your hdb rent out@ say 2.3k. I very conservative as u can see, always take lower end. Your WV use CPF from wifey and u to pay. I assume u can pay full because your house already full paid... Hahaha, some CSI work...
Every year u will have 27k.
10 years time- 270k + your other savings say 300k
Voila - 530k
20 years time 1 mil...
See how simple life is? So why think of selling your WV in worst case?
Plan the route... And u will see your destination. Plan it positively in your mind but prepare for worst case of selling... So harp on financial freedom and not harp on worst case. The mind is a powerful tool. If we believe we are sick, we will be sick. If we believe we are strong, we will be strong..

Bro, when top, your hdb rent out@ say 2.3k. I very conservative as u can see, always take lower end. Your WV use CPF from wifey and u to pay. I assume u can pay full because your house already full paid... Hahaha, some CSI work...
Every year u will have 27k.
10 years time- 270k + your other savings say 300k
Voila - 530k
20 years time 1 mil...

If his hdb is enbloc via SERS? Say 10yrs later.
Not to worry Sis, should be good. Anyway there are established standards. With two layer boards and steel struts, should have stc of around 40 to 50 which is comparable with brick walls. Buildables use Boral gypsum boards and Rondo struts which are quite well established. Gives us flexibility to reconfigure internal layout easier in future years. :cheers4:
btw sis, Buildables also list DBR as one of their projects. From what I can see in WV, only the walls adjoining living and b-rms and between b-rms plus also study will be drywalls - the basic type. The walls with doorways are brickwalls. I would guess also the kitchen, bathrooms and wet areas will be brickwalls, toughened drywalls for special duty like wet areas won't come cheap, and certainly more economical to get bangla to lay bricks. For the adjoining walls, simple square piece, no cut outs, simple to do and make it easy to put in cables/ aircon pipes etc.
So, maybe if you can tap on the walls at DBR and tell us ur experience. Gypsum board and bricks should sound different. Ha ha. :D

Good question?
Very most, move back to SERs unit and rent out WV. Get more money from rental and price of new hdb also go up.... No double whammy, only double happiness.... Hppy Chinese new year... Hahahahaha:spliff: :cheers5:

I really not familiar w this ruling...
Can I ask the early birds... Did u all get it at about 850 psf?
bro is it the norm for new projects developer will raise price along the way??..of course if demand is good..just curious...:confused:

Bro, when times are good, developer always raise prices along the way.... Sim Lian has raised the prices of WV but not a lot.
For far east, they are damn good... They will launch in phases... Phase 1, will tend to tpe the not so desirable block or lower floor... Once sold, they will announce big, big the success - 100% sold... Fr phase 1, phase 2 now available... Hahahah... The prices start going up for phase 2.
If the project is small, typical developer launch all units at once... Then if hot sell, they up the prices... Sometimes, to stimulate sales, they will announce to agents to tell the clients - developer will up price by 3% in 5 days.... Potential buyers will be pressured for fear of missing this 'golden opportunity'. Those bot, will feel shiok....
When times are bad, developers have been known to drop prices... Previous buyers were known to complain and kick a fuss to no avail....
Check this website - few even justifies why they sell hire than others.. Hahahaha

Go to their showroom... U will be mesmerized with their showroom.
If u go Honda showroom and then go say Volvo showroom, u will feel the difference... Bloody cofee served also different...
If u want free coffee and cookies, just go showroom of Volvo, lexus, Audi...

Hi Sis East Lover,,
Are you selecting Primary school for your child? If so, care to share your view of the schools you have seen?
We were rejected by St Hilda's as PV and now waiting for Red Swastika to get back to us.

My friend from Tropica, someone in Tropica told him that when FCL was clearing the forest area at QBay, some monkeys ran out and ran across the road into Tropica, presumably enroute to the reservoir. I used to see monkeys in the reservoirs some yrs ago and been wondering where they disappeared to. Now we know. Lets see if anyone spots them hereon.:scared-1:

really? if the monkeys are clever, they should run to quarry instead of reserviors, as it's much more place to hide, and much less people there :D

Hi Sis, when selecting Sec Sch, you may want to note which Sch offers which subjects for O level. Eg some schools offer only pure Physics and pure Chemistry ie no option for Combined Science (Physics & Chemistry), which would be tough on the child with no aptitude for the pure Sciences.
One of the many many factors to consider :confused:. Wish you all the best.

ha ha, don't think it really matters, my 3 boys all went thru boys school. Finally its the overall school environment, learning culture and the sort of students it attracts. Nearness to home (in terms of time taken to get to school) plays an important part.... we can only do so much ....;)

Hello fellow ground floor dweller!
Hi All,
I just got a sub-sale unit in WV and was told only 40% payment has been asked for till date.
Given the construction progress I thought it should atleast be 50%, can anyone advise how much payment has been requested by SL.
And when is next payment expected. Thanks
Hi guysg27, what is your stack number?
Looking at the progress, stack 14 and 19 should get called up first.
