Pls write to SL. I got mine from them one year ago. No detailed dimension, but 1:100 scale floor plant. Good enough for u to do initial planning.

Merry Xmas to u and happy planning :cheers6:
Thanks sis! Just dropped Stephanie an email :)

Based on the photos n showflat, it's traditional casement windows, open outward.
I prefer casement to sliding. Can open all windows to allow more air in:D

Casement is more sound proof

Casement windows are good for catching wind into your apartment, otherwise it just blown past (or parallel to) your sliding windows.

I like casement windows.

yes casement is better than sliding windows. we like fresh air from reservior :p

For my better understanding, please let me know why is casement better than sliding for noise insulation?

Shadus
26-12-12, 13:47
From experience. Becoz my current place only allows sliding windows, I did try to change to double glassed types, but the installer told me it wont work as sliding windows transmit the noise due to the air gaps at the edges. Whereas for casement, it is completely sealed. You can even get almost sound proof ones that are double-glassed with good sealing.

Thanks. This makes sense.

I'm annoyingly concerned with the noise from that major Traffic Junction. Although i'm above 10 floor, I'm sure the noise will be there.

Even if change to double-glass windows, will the management allow it?

Any other folks here have better, tried-and-tested solutions?

One possible solution that I've thought off is when we all move in, get the management committee to write to request LTA to re-pave the road with sound eliminating properties. I believe they have done this for those expressways here HDB blocks.

I hear you. Its one of the reason why I wanna move from my current place because noise is a bugbear for me. And my current place, the bedroom are sliding windows instead of casement for all others... irritating

I think if all windows are casement types, then, the noise will be v. minimized. Can apply to the mgmt committee when TOP, i think if external appearance is same, then no problem to change hopefully.

One other method that helps is getting good curtains. My curtains are similar to those type used in concert halls. It does help a bit.

And yes, we can write in to various govt agencies. For my current place, when we moved in, a few of us wrote in regarding aircon noise of the nearby supermart. And they did actually take action to wall them up and minimizing the noise.

Yes, 10th flr will still have noise if not noisier as sound waves "roll" up hitting the higher floors more than the lower ones.

Single-layer glass shld be good enough if you keep them closed but that will mean stuffy rooms unless you turn on aircon constantly. Repaving the road will not do much good as noise generated at junctions is more due to engines revving as vehicles move off.

What may help is to plant more tall and "leafy" trees along the stretch facing the roads to absorb the noise and dust. You'd be surprised at the noise absorption properties of trees. If the MC can plant a ring of such trees around the boundary within the estate and pursuade the authorities to plant another ring by the roadside, you can go a long way to noise and dust reduction.

I fully agree with your suggestions. I'm at Stack 35, so, I guess we have to do multi-prong approach...repave, plant tall trees, windows and curtains :-)

Problem is...planting of trees may only benefit those blocks facing Tampines Ave 10...wonder if management committee will agree. It WILL definitely benefit those low-level units :cool:

I like the idea of trees because it beautifies the environment. But not sure if enough space in that area. Also, lower level residents may not like it

if you want to be brave enough, write to URA to suggest to bring ave 10 to underground, and combine reservior with quarry park :p then you will have wonderful and peaceful water view :D

Lower level will also get hit by dust and noise so I don't think they will protest. All the stacks facing the roads will benefit, not just the corner stacks.

So join the MC. Raise it as a resolution in the AGM. Do homework and knock on doors to garner support to vote for resolution during the AGM. That's how it's done :D :D :D

Thanks for pointing it out... really looks huge...... major plus!

I just pass by this morning, the Caltex station is operating again! Thought they shut it down for good to make space for the EC.

The painting and installation of windows seems to have slowed down during this rainy period. Only minor progress. Seems like Q3 TOP will be really tough. Probably Q4, means 2014 for us moving in.

Anyone has any thoughts on the subject?? I got my current unit at Waterview via subsale due to its proximity to St Hilda's and the fact that the owner wanted to let it go at launch price (+60k penalty) and also that it was a choice unit I think (unit 14-22)...

Well, realise later that it is not as close to St Hilda's as we thought (slightly beyond 1 km). Q bay is in fact much nearer to St Hilda's (0.3km)... However, in terms of view/location of site, I think unit 14-22 is still much better than the site at Q bay. Btw, the units at Q bay are priced quite competitively too... Ard 900 plus SPF too... The 4 BR units are much bigger than waterview...

Any words of wisdom from the rest regarding this fix...

Shadus
28-12-12, 10:04
My "words of wisdom" will not be quite what you expect. Don't go for St Hilda, they're only good for their GEP program. Unless your kids are already in the GEP program, try the other better schools like Red Swas / Gongshan etc

cnud
28-12-12, 10:14
Qbay launch price at circa 900psf is expected because it's a different developer from WV. Competition is good for buyers they say.

CapitaLand muscled their way to secure Bishan St 14 so that Sky Habitat can continue to sell.

With many plots coming up at Tampines Ave 10, more amenities will surface but more competition as well. To rent out or to sell.

For stay, WV is better in my opinion. Just have to wait a few more months.

Tampines Central is way too crowded even without these new developments. When all these come online, its going to be crazy. So I'm speculating they will build up a new area for malls & business and hoping MBT will further develop the quarry area... like add a small mall, shops, eateries.... something like downtown east and bigger scale

Then, ho-say-liao.

waterfront key is super expensive liao. they already factored the future MRT which is coming in another 4-5 years... you have to bear the construction of MRT (and PIE) if not pool facing, and the road noice from bedok north road (if you want reservior view).

Don't forget the baywindows everyroom, huge balcony. the quantum is big.

WV is good for own stay. :spliff:

I didn't expect all to go especially after Q-Baywas just announced and yet to be launched even. The power of marketing.

I was told by an agent who dropped over at my mom's place at Tampines Street 12 just across Century Square that it will be sold at 1k psf. Not sure how accurate though.

Within such a short period it's like selling cotton candy over the counter. So fast and poof!!! All gone!!! I almost can't believe it.

Happy or not I also stoned. Don't know how much exactly the average psf for Q-Bay and the rest o the neighbours. Hv yet to see the actual size if the unit and on overall the whole development on its own. Must wait for TOP and I will tell you if I'm overly excited or sadly down. Heheh:D

Bro, the way inflation is going, building cost is going up... So even with !bay buying the land at same price as waterview, the building cost itself will be higher than WaterView. On top of that, Sim Lian is their own main contractor... That's why Sim Lian tends to be "cheaper" then the rest. When Qbay launches, you will see the effect coming your way...

EastLover will be laughing to the bank... Why, WV brought up the price of WaterView... When WaterView was launched, what was the price of Tropica??? Now Qbay will bring up the price of WaterView and Tropica... She made twice...

Bro, the way inflation is going, building cost is going up... So even with !bay buying the land at same price as waterview, the building cost itself will be higher than WaterView. On top of that, Sim Lian is their own main contractor... That's why Sim Lian tends to be "cheaper" then the rest. When Qbay launches, you will see the effect coming your way...

EastLover will be laughing to the bank... Why, WV brought up the price of WaterView... When WaterView was launched, what was the price of Tropica??? Now Qbay will bring up the price of WaterView and Tropica... She made twice...

Sis EastLover, see... I do analysis for you... Some more you tell me, dont put many eggs in 1 basket???? I put 3 eggs in Pasir Panjang leh.... Hahahahaha

That is #10-08, 3+1 bedroom. Lost $210k...

#10-08 is good facing with reservoir view and no road noise or west sun. Not likely owner will let go at such a loss. Even if fire-sale, bank have obligation to fetch best price possible.

So most likely a case of "internal transfer" ("sell" to family members) to lower stamp duty :2cents:

The light blue is a coat of underlay we before it is washed and covered with a white final cost. There shan't be any light blue reflected. Took a stroll to the ever hot Citylife. The more I see the more worried and scared I get.

The space really gives me headache. I wonder how I can squeeze in such a tiny spaced area. Gosh. Seriously, the most decent somewhat showflat I've seen is WV but with almost the same size.

Maybe it's the design. I don't know but most of the 1130sqft ice seen are really really way too small for myself.

Yes, I have been comparing with my AQbP 1324 vs 1130. Front balcony about the same, kitchen narrower, but back yard much bigger. But fortunately the rooms in WV are all squarish. Based on the 1:100 scale plan from Stephanie, I think can still manage, and like East Lover, I will be having a lot more closets with sliding doors, not just for clothes but everything else to preserve a minimalist clean look (ps I have omitted all the wardrobes from SL). :sleep:

I am looking at this as well. But not for balcony, more for the backyard - but hoping in future to built a window around.

The overall layout is quite efficient - everything got to keep to the minimum.

I am looking to add the following and open to advise and suggestion from the bros and sis here.

1. Piano - not sure where I can push that in.
2. Balcony - hoping to add some outdoor chairs and table there for breakfast and lounging.
3. Dining table - mine is a 6 seater extendable to 8 pax type. Hope have enough space to add that in.
4. TV console to built up - need to consider those with a smaller width
5. I believe in cupboards to hide away all the things. - any advise for this?

Thanks to all again in advance. With the modern technology age, I am building my future home with excellent bros and sis here!! My HDB was pretty much built myself and wify, no interior designer to save cost.

But now seriously considering getting one.

went to Qbay showroom just now. Showroom units not ready to "enter". can only view from "outside" (but still inside the sales gallery). Price is between 950-1200psf.

Pricing not finalised yet, just an indicator. No brochure too. Cannot book yet. Just need to give a blank cheque :scared-4: to indicate your interest and "chope" an unit. Agent will inform you when the launch is official and if you don't get the unit you want / wish to drop out, no penalty. So many people at the showroom today!

Well, i like their idea of having movable blinds with covered glass for alfresco dining (available for 3 bedroom units and perhaps the bigger ones).

Most likely is no. But can try after WV form their own management committee. Then its up to mgmt comms.

That is to say, upon TOP, you will get more "NO" from SL so that they can protect their own ass. Once they wash their hands off WV, then its up to residence own management comm to decide. Frankly, from experience, every year annual meeting, my current comms usually have at least 10 proposals for voting. Usually at least 95% will get rejected...haha. SO.... conclusion, don't keep your hopes high.

I am looking at this as well. But not for balcony, more for the backyard - but hoping in future to built a window around.

The overall layout is quite efficient - everything got to keep to the minimum.

I am looking to add the following and open to advise and suggestion from the bros and sis here.

1. Piano - not sure where I can push that in.
2. Balcony - hoping to add some outdoor chairs and table there for breakfast and lounging.
3. Dining table - mine is a 6 seater extendable to 8 pax type. Hope have enough space to add that in.
4. TV console to built up - need to consider those with a smaller width
5. I believe in cupboards to hide away all the things. - any advise for this?

Thanks to all again in advance. With the modern technology age, I am building my future home with excellent bros and sis here!! My HDB was pretty much built myself and wify, no interior designer to save cost.

But now seriously considering getting one.

I'm sure piano can. Most condo doors are quite big. Unless yours a grand
As for balcony furniture. Yes, anything indoors is private space and as long as it does not affect external appearance.
The dining area is pretty small though..... It doesn't look like 8 seater is viable. But we shall see
As for cupboard, i'm with someone who mentioned this (i think eastlover?). Will build more cabinets at balcony areas to store my stuff. Even considering a full cabinet in the storeroom

Agent's word no black n white. Say say only to con u. I think bro Kengar or another FEC did write to SL for this option, the answer is NO.

Maybe u can dig out old post to check.

I was at the show flat site this evening. Its Really crowded. I was quite delighted over what the agent shared with me as regards the future developments in that area. Accordingly, there are at least 2-3 plots of land adjacent to Q-bay along ave 10 that have been gazetted for housing development (imagine at least 2-3 other new condo development coming up). Well, the agent claimed that Q-bay, being the first development in that belt, would increase in value steadily as each site adjacent to it are being developed over time. Well, it didn't occur to her that Waterview is actually the first development along the stretch of land adjacent to ave 10. Looks like the whole stretch is going to be like bedok reservoir? Waterview value is therefore set to rise, rise, rise???!! U guys think so??? Is it wishful thinking?

IMO, it's agent that is talking about QBay. I wld not bet so much on the other 2-3 plots. I'm thinking they might nt even get triggered if its on reserve list but I do agree WV is in a gd position if QBay does well. :)

Actually Tropica is the "first" development. It wasn't very popular property then. But those who stuck it out are very happy right now :)

Wishful thinking or not... it depends on market situation. Nothing is ever certain. But for non-investor like me, more condo means more traffic to PIE and the road to PIE is already very jam at this point of time. Hopefully, it will be expanded.

The internal work is usually quite fast. ~6-9 months typically. It really depends on how much resources are poured into it. Unlike external work, it is not weather dependent. When i saw the place 2 weeks back, i think the external work slowed down quite a bit. Have not seen any internal work starting yet but it should be really fast when it starts.

Just push the washer and dryer into the kitchen and poof. Use the extra room for study for entertainment for anything basically. Even storage. I like the way is designed. Typical FEO washer, fridge, oven all free. The materials looks good. I love the outlook. However, no reservoir. Alamak...

It's not the ID sis. I'm not an ID person in any way. Even for WV, iD is a no no for me. It's the layout. The kitchen is good. The space is good and generous especially for the Trio. It's so impressive. The toilets are well equipped. Good and sufficient cabinets. The surroundings is sweet really. Very green and well landscaped. The villa adds to the sweetness of it. My kids ask if we can buy the villa and stay there. So private. Very Balinese like. Nice.

The architect is a good one. Something different from the typical everyday design we see everywhere else. The 3 bedder master is unlike those we see everyday. Like WV back balcony and our master, again it's special and unique which I come to find out adopted by SL almost in all their developments, be it DBSS,EC or even PC. Just materials differentiate one from the other.

I still remember the step down toilets they hv over at Waterfront Isle. It's nice. I love the way it's built. I'm no fan of FEO but Star Wars probably. Hahahah. Everything about Q is exquisite in my opinion. I still love the Trio!!!:D

The architect is a good one. Something different from the typical everyday design we see everywhere else. The 3 bedder master is unlike those we see everyday. Like WV back balcony and our master, again it's special and unique which I come to find out adopted by SL almost in all their developments, be it DBSS,EC or even PC. Just materials differentiate one from the other.

I still remember the step down toilets they hv over at Waterfront Isle. It's nice. I love the way it's built. I'm no fan of FEO but Star Wars probably. Hahahah. Everything about Q is exquisite in my opinion. I still love the Trio!!!:D

Trio has a wasted foyer space, easily about 60sf? And I still prefer the yard next to my kitchen for practical reasons. If u convert the universal room (their so called yard) into a study, where do u wanna keep your pails and mops? The kitchen is miserably small.

Btw I m not anti-Qbay. In fact I love the 3br premium and 2+study a lot

Bro, if u like the layout so much, pls go ahead! For ur own stay, if it's suit ur need and u love it sooooo much, why not?! It's a very good project indeed, for own stay and for capital appreciation.

Ur wv already can make good money for u, u are safe :cheers5:

Pls invite us to ur QBay house warming party!!! :cheers4:

It's not the ID sis. I'm not an ID person in any way. Even for WV, iD is a no no for me. It's the layout. The kitchen is good. The space is good and generous especially for the Trio.

My bro, yes, ur post make me missed big bro chestnut hahaha!!

I love waterview since day one :D :D

But bro desquire worried a lot since he signed dotted line with SL, as he has very expensive collection which needs a lot of space. I guess QBay can fulfill his requirement haha

All the best to u, bro desquire :cheers4:


Sis, simlian has v good and practical design one, u can trust them. Your reservoir unit is priceless, and unlike the WF series, it's not separated by a very busy noisy road. What u get directly in front of u are greeneries and the reservoir!

And do I need to remind u the price u paid for your unit?! How much is Qbay selling now!? Hahahahhaha

Ok.. I sound like my mentor chestnut talking to u, hahahahaha

Spend a bit in ID, we can archive much better n practical than this. But I have to say, the ID, the design in QBay are very good.
Haha... Went to view today (again its heavy rain when I reach). I dun see the "bigger" in size than wv. Guess its all the furnishing that make it standout? Sis, our "reservoir view" is priceless lah... Haha...

I agree with the "spend a bit more in ID". WV has the nature element lacking in QBay. Personally I have not viewed the showflat for QBay yet but I wont give up WV for that. :)

Hmm.. I stayed almost 1 hr at qbay show flat coz mum buying but I still prefer my wv lei.. The way the buildings are positioned... Not so crowded.. Somehow reminds me of the old condos with big spaces for facilities.

They didn't build all the blocks for the model but from the way I see, I feel that it's quite congested... If u sit in ur balcony, instead of looking at the pool, maybe u can see ur neighbors opposite... Just like caspian... WV more spacious definitely.

Interior wise, for sure show flat is nice but the $ I spend on higher Psf.. I rather use it to renovate it even better. Layout wise... Guess its v individual coz I love small kitchen since I dun cook. Haha!

Anyways they r giving some rebates for the ABSD I think!

Yup totally agree with the spacing involved. None of the neighbours in WV can peep into another unit. All nicely spaced out like Tropica. It' just that I like the interior layout. That's more like it.

As a buyer of WV myself, I would not have bought it if I don't think its any good. I bought for the pocket reservoir, the good distribution of the blocks, one huge pool instead of many cluttered pools, the layout of the master and kitchen balcony, location being near my existing flat and getting so used to the neighbourhood etc etc.

Just that I fell in love with Qbay. That's the thing. It's just like an impulsive adrenalin of excitement the moment I saw the Trio and 3-bedder Never once did I think WV was horrid.

Of course the stamp duty (whose name to use to avoid this sky high ridiculous tax), no reservoir view, pricing and the '4-year wait' for it to be up is not a good idea (especially for kids who look forward to it). As for me, I'm actually fine having to wait and all.

On overall, though without reservoir view our Qbay neighbours have a nice surrounding overall. A pretty home. :D

Just went over to showflat to take a look with Mrs around lunch time. Nice layout but Mrs didn't c anything spectacular. Indicative price for 3 bedder and 3 bedder trio around $1.2m up? so not sure what would be the discounts like, More likely for the 3 bedders, WV price + $200k. If that's the case,put in 100k for ID work for WV and it should be as good if not better than QB. ID works can really play with the eyes and mind. In any case, a lived-in flat and a showflat are entirely two different animals, in the end its more whats convenient and practical.... Wnt over to the Caltex Stn to take a look at the revamped Starmart. Got an Old Chang Kee corner and some light dim sum hot-box, better than nothing, if need something to fill up stomach and don't want to go far :D

After viewing Qbay showroom, I strongly feel FEC is playing the visual trick...

They have a much higher ceiling, they put large mirror and glass every where, they use light color tone ID.

I have to say it works, at least to some people...:D :D

But the mathematical certainty is...the floor area is only 1119 for 3 bedder. I don't know how people could spin with this number to beat WV's 1130.:tongue1: :tongue1: :tongue1:
