View Full Version : Waterview (D18, 99-year Leasehold, Sim Lian Group)
When I pack up for WatervieW, I'm young again!!! Now I'm the West facing!!! My balcony can fry eggs in seconds!!!! But like you mentioned, it helps when it comes to laundry!! Kill germs too!!! Hahahah!!!!
I need the cool-air at WV!!! No more hot laundries!!! Hot pool view maybe!!:p
Hi Desquire, u sure that we will be facing the west sun?:banghead:

We consumers are always cheated left, right, front and back 360 degrees!! This one involves thousands of dollars!!! hehehe. What to do. I think my stack is more like SW facing? Maybe a little light but hopefully blocked by the wing blocks!! The reservoir facing is to 'die-for' sis but in the afternoon a little hot maybe cause it's very open. You get both win and light. This is what we call best of both worlds and fengshui!!
You have air in atmosphere, water in reservoir, fire in sun and metal in your furniture!!!:D
Let's convert to chinese 5 elements:
"水" - water in reservoir,
“土" - in my little garden
“火”- fire in sun
“木”- woods in furnitures
"金" - metal in home appliances
hahaha :D:D :D

I think this evening sun topic is getting too heavy... I have been living facing the west sun for years... The heat is ok lah.... Some might have exaggerated a bit.... Also a ceiling fan in my living room is the only thing keeping it cool daily... I don't have to switch on the air-con daily...
Just don't paint your house black. Colour plays a part too. :) Plus marble flooring conduct heat very well. Add these two together, thermal heat would be insane. :scared-2:

"marble flooring conduct heat very well"???
my marble floor super cool leh, i have to wear slipper at home! too cold for me, but just nice for my dog dog, so we decided to upgrade flooring to marble in WV also.
Hi Desquire, u sure that we will be facing the west sun?:banghead:
No no no my dearest stack mate. My present home that is. Over at WV we will be the SW facing unit. Hehe. :D
Btw which level are you at?:p
As someone who lived in a unit that was NW facing (MBR+2BR+living) had west sun for almost 10yrs, I can attest that it is terrible.
OK, in a few months of the year when the sun moves slightly different angle, then it is not too bad - but when it shines into the house, it is just too hot and it doesnt go off till at least 8-9pm.
So for those contemplating units with direct West, take my advice, not worth it lar... we are living in the tropics and literally the heat can fry eggs! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
And to add, the blardy developer with such a huge piece of land, why must have units facing west... in many countries people will shun units with west sun and thats why 'enlightened' developers will offer only NS facing units and very minimal units with any west sun facing.
Here, squeeeeeze you each psf with planter, balcony, yard, etc all counted... then squeeeeeeze the blocks location where possible to add in more units... to maximise profits! Die your problem! :tsk-tsk:

That's why it's cool. It's a good conductor of heat. So your feet will feel nice and not burning. Hehe. :p

yah. perhaps I was wrong. hee hee...
just a question for those with west facing. which would you take?
1. West facing with good views.
2. South Facing but facing a semi major road.

at least you can have half day to enjoy, and you can turn on air-cond for hot day, some more, SG have at least 1/3 of rainning day per year?
road noise depends on individual. some can't take it.

If possible, try not to get west facing stack.
Leave the West facing stack for the Ang Mo.
They love strong Sun.

My take; i would never buy a unit with afternoon sun. But if u consider to buy one unit, please ask the salesman to refund you the water heater, i bet u guys will never use it. :scared-5:
All units have its special features, whether facing quary or reservoir
If you were to ask me, I never one regretted this decision of mine. At such a good location, (maybe not to others) and such a price. It's worth it. The stacks also can be rather 'stressful' as it is. All the stacks has its advantages and very well scattered, not too close to one another. :D :D
The only concern I have till today is - will the real completed unit be of the same size as the showroom? Has the showrrom been tweaked to make it more spacious? God knows...:confused:
I'm sure SL is better than FEO.... What u buy is what u get...:D

That's what people say. Including those who have direct experience with SL. One mentioned that their workmanship and items are quite lasting. We shall see if this holds true very soon. Menwhile we must keep our fingers cross. Maybe can check with Clover residents who just TOP'ed. :D

Actually, clover is my first SL project. I bought WV because I feel it is priced sweetly and UWC is just around the corner. So for a 1 mil property, the rental can easily fetch >3k. I believe the ROI will be around 4%, so quite happy.
Didn't take any photo leh... My clover is city view and the view is beautiful. As for WV, got the unit with MB facing reservoir and quarry.

You must be at stack 19. It's special for it's a two-in-one view. Flawless!!! I guess you'll put this unit up for rental insead of own stay. Meanwhile enjoy the atmosphere at Clover!!! The wait has finally come to an end. I heard many have or are in the process of selling their unit there. Such a waste but again, maybe the returns too good to resist.:D
You can find them in their forum. Have pics too.
Is the access to their forum only limited to Clover owners?
Your colleague's unit needs a major overhaul/repair with so many defects.
Anybody has any idea who is the main con for clover?

Yup, stack 19. Not staying at clover. Renting it out. Don't intend to sell this unit. It is my retirement hope as of now. Need to see WV's view then decide which will be my final retirement home.

It's nice being in your shoes, having an option. Wonder why Clover isn't your choice of home. Hehe. :D

When my kids(3 of them) grows up and marry, will shift to smaller unit. Either WV or Clover. The rest of my other untie are also quite big, so not worth it to stay there. In the past, a 3 bedder was 1500 sq ft.
As for defects, my unit at clover has minimal defects. It is normal to have defects. What is important is the rectification work up to satisfaction. Under the terms and condition, if the rectification is not done within acceptable time, you can engage your own contractor to rectify the issue(u need to notify the developer thru your lawyer). So really not an issue. Make the entire process of home ownership a pleasant one.

Thanks for sharing with us. Great to know tt urs come well so lesser headache. Didn't know we can engage our own contractor. Wise thoughts on your idea for the future. Many thanks our dearest future neighbor. :D

U can use your own contractor under 2 conditions:
1. U have requested for rectification and developer do not respond to you.
2. Rectification work not done to your satisfaction and you have requested for some more rework.
Under this condition, inform your lawyer who will write to developer and give him time frame to carry out the work failing which, u can then engage your own contractor to rectify the works. That is why there is still a certain amount not disperse which u can claim from.
I have done it before for small developer. So buying from small developer can be a nitemare. But again, it depends on luck.
Hi All.. just spoke to Shirley and here are some costs update for various options I am considering:
1) Cost of marble upgrade minus installation of MBR Wardrobe - $6,000
2) Installing cabinets behind 2 bathroom mirrors - $456.
Now thinking not to install wardrobe for the other 2 bedrooms too.. getting Shirley to give me a breakdown too. :)

Kengar, if u go showroom, at the toilet there are lightings at the mirror area. Are you getting SL to run wires for u to install lights? It doesn't come with lighting points but with the lights it really looks good.

Yeah Chestnut, we planning to adopt the same lighting concept as the showflat bathroom. Regarding the lighting points, we were told we have to do it ourselves, hence I have never approach SL about it as i think the response would be likely "No".
Actually this is one of those questions in my mind and also the newbies to condo. if I don't ask for the lighting point for the mirror cabinet now, would it mean alot of work for my ID to install it later?
Same goes for a long list of other things that we could potentially ask SL to do now and avoid unnecessary time and costs to realign them later during renovations. One of the other thing i can think of is positions of the power points and bathroom accessories.
Chestnut, do you have any recommendation for us?
By the way, do you have any pictures of bathroom mirror cabinet installed at Clover to share?
Thanks!!! :D

Haha!! yeah bro, I think might as well ask the ID to do it for us. They would know what to do and how this and that goes better!! but $400 plus for the cabinets!! This one chop garlic into our eyes leh. So very expensive!!!:scared-3:

Yo Bro Desquire, I kinda think the mirror cabinet pricing quoted by SL might be quite okay since they are for 2 wide mirror cabinets. I recall the pricing quoted by my ID to do my HDB flat 2 years ago for a small display cabinet at corner of house was already $200 plus .
If we get ID to do, the price might need to include new mirrors from ID, unless we can ask SL to keep the mirrors aside for the ID to use.

The layout for Clover is similar to WV. If u dont do the lighting point during the main construction, there would be issues... unless you have a cabinet with mirror and the electrical wiring is concealed in the cabinet which reaches to the ceiling.... If not you will have trunking coming from the ceiling to the mirror point. I spoke with my agent to check with SL but she hasn't gotten back to us... One thing about SL, they are willing to accomodate changes in design which is very nice of them... I will try to take some pics and send to you maybe next week when I visit clover again. dont know how to post.. haha... Clover does not have lighting point at the bathroom mirror. I bought direct from SL but in 2009 and clover was already 23rd flr by then.
I feel WV will hold up in prices because of UWC. The rental will provide the price flooring as investors will look at ROI. When I buy properties for investments, I look at capital gains or ROI or both.

Hi FEC! I am still waiting for Shirley to reply on upgrading to marble flooring for my 2+1 unit. Have requested for the cost to include marble skirting. Hope the price is not too high! Btw, for the cabinet behind the mirror, will they be sliding ones? You got me thinking about it too :D

Hi Minami3, it is the price for both bathrooms. I believe they should be swing type.

Food for thought... Why spend additional money on wardrobe when SL is providing it for free and it comes with 1 year warranty from developer... U may want to use the money elsewhere or replace it after u get bored of the design later on. By doing this, u also get to move in earlier....
Just sharing my experience. Anything goes wrong within first year, I go straight back to developer. Less headache.... :D
Hi Minami3, it is the price for both bathrooms. I believe they should be swing type.
Thanks, Kengar! My hubby also says it is good to have the cabinets :) can't wait to move to WV!!! :D
Went to Expo's Home & Furnishing Fair today to get some interior design quotes.
Came across this closet specialist http://www.flexicloset.com.sg/ and got a quote of $3,250 for a 12 feet L-shape wardrobe for the MBR. The proposed design is sliding doors on the longer side, and bi-fold on the shorter side.
The wardrobes on display at the fair looks good quality, the shelvings will come with full melamine laminate to give the wood-grain feel to the entire wardrobe interior instead of the usual white; the internal poles and bars are classy aluminium looking.. definitely in my consideration in 2 years time.
Also saw the invisible grilles supplier http://www.legate.com.sg/ . The usual price is $13/sqf. Saw in their photo booklet that they have installed invisible grilles at another condo with same window designs as WV (i.e. invisible grilles covering only the 2 "openable" window panels)

Hi Kengar! Thanks for sharing. I showed the pics to my hubby. Now we are thinking of customising the closets too. Also, today I went to Clover to take a look (with the help of a property agent ^-^). Love their alfresco dining area which comes with stove, cooking plate/grilles & fridge!! According to WV site plan, we also have an alfresco dining area! Hope it's the same if not better :)

Hi Chestnut, while you are back at Clover could you also help me take a look at the distance of the bathroom vanity to mirror cabinet. Would there be risk someone using the basin hit his/her head against the protruding cabinet?
May i also trouble you to take some pictures of the interior of the wardrobes? I can help to upload. Thanks!!

Nope, i didn't take a picture. But the alfresco cooking area is about 3m in length with the fridge below the cooking section. Er...sorry, what balcony? Did i mention a balcony in my previous msg? ;p

Hi Chestnut, while you are back at Clover could you also help me take a look at the distance of the bathroom vanity to mirror cabinet. Would there be risk someone using the basin hit his/her head against the protruding cabinet?
May i also trouble you to take some pictures of the interior of the wardrobes? I can help to upload. Thanks!!
Hi Kengar
Is this what you were looking for?
Got lots of pics from CBTP freeforums site.
Seems like SL have been using same design and materials for kitchen tops, cabinets and wardrobes for Carabelle, CBTP and Waterview.
Buy bulk, more economical I guess.
No objections really, if quality and workmanship are good.
From what I have been reading from the website, reasonably ok unless one of the unlucky ones, and even then SL has to make good.
Cheers

Hi... thanks so much for the images. Didn't know they use the same one for the three projects. Not forgetting for the much talked about Centrale 8 too. I wonder what's the response and outcome of the sales for now.
The wardrobes look alright to be . Simple and well shelved. I think we shall keep just that. Any idea how the master bedroom one was designed. Similar to the ones to this as well??? Thanks so much for your help!!!:D

Wardrobes in MBR looks similar. Agree to simplicity. Clover residents very helpful.
Threads on ID, renovation, home network, etc. A resident Mr JasonX set up a blog with pics and info on his reno adventure at cloverbythepark.living.io
SL provided a Borsch microwave oven as a gift for Carabelle and a WMF set for CBTP. Wonder what's for Waterview.
Some pics of Carabelle and CBTP. Makes you wish its now Jun13.
Still, 2 years to firm up our ID. Took a brisk nordic walk from Aquarius to Waterview and across the main gate and back. Saw rebars aboveground at Chairman's block. Foundations looks completed for all units. Understand that NV Residences targetting for 1Q13 and up to 5th storey already.

I think can try, I visited the Flamingo Valley showflat yesterday, they have a door that opens up to the aircon ledge where the space could be double up for storage or drying clothes. Pretty useful concept.
Hi bro. I was wondering if we opt for the cabinets behind the toilet mirror, will the end product still b the same? Meaning will the mirror still be the long one? if it will have a split in between, then I guess it will not look gd. Otherwise, it's a better option in my opinion. Any ideas on it. Thanks in advance. :p

Was at cbtp and wv showroom. The dimension of the glass is different.
CBTP depth-14cm height from vanity- 35cm
WV. Depth - 15cm height from vanity - 30cm
There is a cabinet below the sink.
I think if you guys are going to do a cabinet, the depth is very important. Too much and it juts out to vanity area.

Hi Chestnut, thanks for your note.
Desquire Bro, I am alittle hesitant to do the mirror cabinet now becos I think my big head might knock against it when I bend down closer to the tap. The alternative is to do my own sink and cabinet so that is will be placed slightly outwards.

Haha. I like your positivity. No harm making a sweet polite request. :D
At Aquarius, some configuration have a door that leads to a small yard which also houses the compressor units. So they have no choice but to fix their laundry poles with the clothes hanging over the compressors.
in my case, the yard is enclosed and the compressors are on ledges with no excess other than a window for maintenance purposes. I also installed a grill.
See pic of my laundry poles which I got from Song Cho 11 yrs ago. Shop is still there at level 4 Plaza Singapura with 2 newer models. One that can be slided down the rack brackets. Advantage of the Song Cho models is that the brackets can be as close as a metre apart as the poles can be beyond the brackets. Brackets are stainless steel and poles can be aluminium or stainless.

Spoke to Shirley today, she was very patient with me on my long winded list of questions and email.. very glad she is a nice person to speak to :D
Here are the updates:
1. Showflat expected to be removed in early next year, 2012.
2. Next 10% for foundation expected to be called in the next 1 to 2 months.
3. The cost of marble flooring is fixed (per 3-bedder) at $8K based on total costs estimated from all requests received. SL has stopped accepting new requests.
4. Marble upgrade will include dry lay and polishing. Skirting should be timber, but Shirley will go back and confirm.
5. If we choose not to install certain items (e.g. wardrobe), the costs saving may be used to partially offset the costs of marble upgrade.
6. Sliding balcony door - Shirley is checking again if we may engage our own contractor to change sliding balcony door. The reason I asked her again is because there was a recent TV ad showing a sliding cum folding balcony door, I am thinking of doing that if it is allowed.
7. Window grilles for bedrooms are allowed, but have to adhere to SL's standard designs which will be provided to us during TOP.
Bro, i finally called Shirley as no email reply from her...
She said the Marble upgrade will be with timber skirting! She said marble skirting is very costly, so SL can only give timber skirting!
Can timber skirting match marble floor? any showflat have this concept?
What says you? will you pay extra $$$ to upgrade skirting also?

I believe that the norm is timber skirting with marble flooring. I have never seen marble skirting with marble flooring. timber skirting is so much more elegant.

I see no reason why SL should object, finally MC should decide. Pics of laundry in yard area with aircon compressors. A door from kitchen leads to yard.
As the yards are really in areas hidden from external view, away from the main facade, should be acceptable. In the end, we the residents should decide as long as this doesnt flout ant ura rule. SL or architect not staying here and if they do, they will surely want to do same.

From the pictures they appear to look the same.. I noticed the marble is also the same design my friend has in The Amery, another Sim Lian project that TOP late 2010.
I just sent Shirley an email to ask for confirmation.
On your other posting regarding the MBR Bathroom window, it made me realise my C2 layout will not have the window in the same location as the C1 layout (Showflat), cos that wall is connected with Stack 10.
Also asking Shirley now where will my window be located. Hopefully there will be one. :confused:

By the way, the Arc offers Oven in Kitchen and Hansgrohe products in bathroom. I think we don't even know what brand is used in Waterview :beats-me-man:

Didn't see the balloons when I did my walk this morning from 9 to 10am. URA should have required developers to specify precisely what buyers will be getting rather than very general specs and show it as wysiwyg. For a price tag of around S$1m or more, this should have been the requirement. Singapore lags behind a lot of countries in consumer protection.
Some pics I took few days ago.

Can see the developer spents much more $$$ in the showflat. it makes waterview looks like DBSS, and Arc looks like a PC :D they provide a lot of things, including the oven and blum drawers :cool:

Arc @ Tampines prices definitely lower than WV, and just a tad higher than Centrale8 (around 730psf onwards).
IMO the 2nd balcony placing abit strange, cos it is in the full view from the living hall, hence not a nice sight when you hang laundry there.
However the MBR full height curve window design quite unique.
The brochure shows an aerial view from Arc overlooking the Bedok Reservoir, Sand Quarry, and Quarry Park. The Waterview site is presented as a huge thick forest in the foreground.. haha :D
I also went kaypoh at Eu Habitat over the weekend, the furnishings and bathroom are nice.. The kitchen comes with oven, a hugh Samsung 2 Door fridge, and a Washing Machine cum Dryer (2 in 1). Almost every stack has a pool beside it. Sits on over 400,000 sqf of land (pretty large site).
the worst thing is that we have no idea at all, what will be delivered eventually by SL.

honestly, their projects are priced to sell. They dont make a lot of margins, so you typically see prices shoot up upon top. If u want better finishings, look for CDL, Capland, FEO....
also true.... 价钱实在，买家实惠。
Can Waterview fetch Waterfront price upon TOP? :D $1200/spf??? :D :D :D
I heard one guy bought Waterfront 4 bedder at 1.6mil after sold his 3 bedder in Tropica...:scared-5:

Hi guys, I hv yet to receive my billing as well. Visited Parc Lumeiri or so over at Simei. Place looks good ans they do install the clothes hanger over at their aircon ledges. Very good idea and saves the space over at the Kitchen balcony should we be granted permission. Let's hope and pray we could do the same thing.
Also most hv bamboo chic blinds to keep the sun and rain away. Don't know if a condo will allow this to happen.
Bro, i just wrote to Shirley to check if we can install the hanger in aircon ledge, and possible to install an iron gate there....
Bro Kengar, can you try to approach her also? you are good friend of her already mah... hahaha :D

I hv been there like at least a dozen times since last November. It has a kinda peaceful and calm, relaxed mood whenever when I'm in there.
After being quite impressed with the showroom of some of he other developments, all I need to do is step inside again and like barbecued marshmallow, my heart will melt. We didn't buy the wrong unit despite missing on fridge,oven marble etc. We paid a different price altogether compared to our neighbors over at Bedok Reservoir.
We don't hv many siblings too, lesser crowd, only in Tropica unlike the competitive Waterfront Series.
Our new neighbour Huddy has been promoted to the top of the list. :D

The real results will come later.. gotta see how many people will really accept the offer to apply after the balloting results are out. ;)
The next interesting project will be Sim Lian's EC launch near Centrale8, the pricing should logically be higher than Arc and Centrale8, but lower than Waterview.

Let's do some Math problem sum for fun...
I'm sure some of your kids love this... I'm sure my kids will.... LOL
Brings me back my primary school memories.... Anyways, here it goes...
Arc has 574 units.
http://www.propertyguru.com.sg/project/arc-at-tampines-20739
Given a ratio of 1:3 (units:subscription).
Solve the following questions:
(A) How many ppl will be left disappointed on balloting day this Thursday, 8th Sept? :cheeky smile:
(B) Out of that many ppl (using answer A), what is your take on the propability of them buying WV to cure their disappointment?
:ashamed1:
good calculation. The parking lot at Arc showflat is full almost all the time. No wonder its over-subscribed.
Did anyone of you have a chance to visit the showflat. Wondering what their marketing strategy is. Is it reservoir view or city view or 1 km to St Hilda or UWC.
The asking psf is a bit lower than WV. WV and Tropica psf will be pushed up further once they complete the 5 year MOP.:)

I doubt the new EC by SL over at Centrale will be lower than WV. If their DBSS command a premium so will the new EC. The market is now crazy over MRT so my take is that it will be higher than WV. If WV is the highest prices condo on Tampines, I will be pretty worried. Haha. :p
who says economic is going down? who says market will be quiet??
Up or down, noisy or quiet. One thing for sure, prices might soften but not that much. COE will remain as well. No reason why prices should drop with the influx of people coming in and demand remaining at optimum. :scared-3:

Hi EastLover
that would well be the official bureaucratic position, but looking around all the old condos, I do not see consistency in application of the rule.
suppose we shouldn't do anything till the 1 yr maintenance is up
anyway I intend to hang the laundry within the yard area by fixing the brackets at where the washing machine is meant to be and extend the poles alongside the half wall within the yard

actually dont really understand the MRT things... if pay so much more for MRT, might as well to use it to buy a car? then you can go any where, any time, with your own transportation!
now Double Bay 4 bedder is asking 1.5mil, 3 bedder is asking 1.3mil, you can buy WV at 1.1mil, then use the extra $200K to buy a OK car and still sufficient for 10 years' petrol cost??? and you will enjoy nature nice waterview, and no MRT track noise :D :D :D

Let me try.
For buyers, all want MRT so it is very much in demand. Why in demand we don't care but as long as in demand, price will be high.
Your arguments to use the savings in price to buy a car and enjoy the peace is very good. However, that is if only if you drive. If you have kids, you have to consider their needs too, including all other family members.
MRT is the most reliable and fastest transport mode in Singapore, unless u think Taxi's are better which are really not.
As to whether car makes a better sense.. dumb to pay for high COE and when fuel goes to $3 a litre... it hurts... then $4 a litre and then $5 a litre... U go study the retail pump prices of petrol in Singapore then you will know.
Always decide based on current needs and future needs. Otherwise, it's penny wise pound foolish.
BTW I agree with u it is better to get WV now but who knows the price difference in future?

The last time I saw endless numbers of cranes is at MBS few years ago. SL has many upcoming projects in Tampines and Punggol itself so they might wanna hurry WV itself. Hehe. :D

Our dear Sim Lian made super bulk purchases for all it's developments from donkey years ago. That explains why all its furnishings are nearly the same. Its margins must be super good.
I know of some architects of mass market condos who work for large developers have limited or no choice to explore new materials or design. Bottomline is that Developer just want to have maximum profit margin.

my guess is that they have thrown in the free oven in view of the bad centrale 8 publicity. If WV were to launch now, we maybe also can get feebies!

Attended a party at the Tropica function room last night and had the chance to walk around the estate... Love the serenity and peacefulness and very much looking forward to TOP in end 2013 (or maybe earlier as works seems to be speeding up nowadays)

The lightings there made it look very cosy at night with a nice cool breeze. It's now our guess when the place will TOP given the number if cranes and other SL project in the East which is underway. From Christmas 2013, we're made to believe that it could be as early as April's Fool 2013!!! Let's jeep our hopes and dreams flying high like the flags on the cranes!!! Go go go!!!:D

Come on Waterview ! Go go go! Ganbette ne !
Hi all!
For those vested in Waterview, what's the psf we're looking at? 850-900? Assuming 2+1 or 3 bedroom.
Yeah it was Tropica's layout and overall feel that enticed me to get WV too. :D
I heard from someone that it's SL signature design-huge balconies living and kitchen. They have the same thing at The Amery, Carabelle and perhaps Clover? I haven't been to any of these condos though.
It's their female architect or something. Haha. That's why their design is very much appreciated and well sought after. They use it for both DBSS, condo and I believe EC as well.
Many also said not much rain will come in from these balconies based on the way it was designed. Haha. It's for us to find out in two years. :D

Yup something like that depending on the stack, level and facing as well. Maybe Tampines not that great after all these days and not much sought after. Punggol Treasure Trove I heard going beyond Waterview's pricing. Wonder what's the catch there. Selling like Punggol Nasi Lemak!!! Faster than anything. Haha!!! Must be very impressive!!!:D

Near MRT and upcoming mall are the key factors. We gotta "tan ku ku' for these near WV. Haha

Bro, life's like that. Win some, lose some. These days many try to reap from all angles. Not a sour grape but a view is rare and is something I rather have. A mall is just a 10min ride away and I don't need to shop daily. That's why people flock the Waterfront series plus Tropica and WV. Manhattan and Treasure Trove residents meanwhile are ardent shoppers. :p

That's awesome! Thanks for the nice pics, sis East Lover :)
Since Sept is usually hazy throughout the whole day, and Nov/Dec is usually wet and rainy, the stacks facing the west evening sun will at least get some relief :cool:
Wow!! What a sneak peek!! Beautiful!! Now we know why those stacks have to pay $$$ in advance!!! It's starting to build up!!! Go go go!!!!:D

By the way, our first floor is confirmed higher than Tropica second floor. I guess that's the reason why SL have to give 2.8m ceiling height. Since they can't increase the total building height (due to airbase constraint?), and they insist to build up to 15 floors, so they have no choice but to reduce ceiling height 0.3m lower each floor.
math question, problem sum... hehehe
Just received my letter to pay $$$... Guess mine could be on the way too...
Hehe. you received your letter and yours on the way again. Thank you for paying for me bro. Hehe. Just kidding.

WV ceiling confirmed at 2.8m sis??? Our place like not much details compare to others. Managed to squeeze some time to take a glance at the details of Treasure Trove. With the Mega mall and MRT and 900psf price and promise of water sports and Coney Island and Free Oven and all, now I understand better why the Gold rush over there. No wonder people gate crashing ATT!!!! It will sell faster than WV where there's no other details and promise apart from water all around!!! Hahahahah!!!:tongue3:
So facilities or fengshui??? :D :D :D
Oh, confirm 2.8m on ceiling height? I remember my agent told me like 3.0m :(
Really mysterious .... lol

i think it's in the last page of purchase option...
East Lover, which floor did you take the photo? I am at 7 flr so wondering how the view will be???:confused:
The height of WV should be high, my CBTP has a very spacious feel because of the ceiling height...
Kengar, spoke with Shirley and she said can do lighting point at toilet mirror cabinet (cove lighting). Asked about cabinet at mirror and she said will jut out abit only...
She will revert back to me on costing shortly.

If i remember correctly, CBTP has floor-to-floor height of 3.15m, effective ceiling height about 2.9m.
According to my agent, WV has floor-to-floor height of 3.0m, and we can expect the floor to ceiling height to be ~2.8m considering the floor thickness in the 15-storey WV is thinner than the 40-storey CBTP.
I might consider not to install a force ceiling in living area to retain the spacious feeling.

Good analysis. 2.8m floor to celiling height is quite alright if it's for real. :p

OT agents also told Clover By The Park buyers that the height is 3.1m but in the end when the actual unit comes. ..... Only 2.9m

your 7th floor is almost 8th floor of Tropica. should be pretty good with balance of water and greenary, and some city view, plus unblock quary view!
the photo was taken from 15th floor in tropica...

Thanks! That makes Waterview attractive in the pricing since Arc is just a little cheaper but without the view. Or maybe Arc is just overly priced. hmm.
Waterview location > Bird no lay eggs Punggol's location. At least in my opinion. If it's a purchase to stay, Waterview is definitely a better buy. You have the waterbody in front but it's still a 10-15 mins walk to the new upcoming MRT line. It's good if you drive though.

Still can see the crane operator drinking 100 plus.:D
Just received my letter to pay $$$... Guess mine could be on the way too...
Just receive the Notice for the 2nd payment - Foundation Work.
there goes the 10%..
Any idea what exactly does the "Reinforced Concrete Framework of the Unit" stands for?
Wasn't able to find description on it.
That's great! Thanks!
You referring to the costing on adding the lighting point at toilet mirror?
1. Lighting point at toilet mirror above and below.
2. Changing the mirror cabinet type to hold small things. Mirror will be split though.

the photo was taken from 15th floor in tropica...

i thought the upcoming mrt station is at the intersection of ave 1 and ave 4? Meaning 1.4-1.5km away, don't think it's walkable.. Even if really walk, at least 25-30min or so..
ATT selling well because the MRT stations and future megamall is next door to it.. Some people like transport and amenities near their doorstep..
Arc and Waterview prices differ by around 100psf right? But i think the reservoir views one will differ much more.. Fair lah..

Its about 10 - 12 mins brisk walk. i counted about 400 steps from WV entrance, if the entrance is just next to the PUB water works, and next to Temasek Poly East Entrance. Saw the workers clearing the ground. Should be a pleasant walk in the evening as there is a sidewalk alongside the poly away from the traffic.

I think around 100psf difference. Depends on what buyers want. Haha!!! With the different locations and selling points, people grab what is most attractive and what they they will best suit them!!!
These days so many to choose from. Spoilt for choice. You miss one, you have more coming up. Condos are everywhere her in SG, soon HDB will make way for them.:D :D :D

We're hoping that there will be another linkway from TP to the station like the one Citylink. It makes the walk feel faster and unnoticed. Hehe. I am sure they will have an underground station close to TP. Can't be an entrance just in front of block 933 right. Maybe beside PUB or whatever that place is. Still ok lah. hahah.:D

Sorry, 400 steps was to the bus No 69 bus stop, as that bus does not stop near the last stop next to Tropica as it turns into Ave 8. Its about 1400 steps to the tampines west stn or about 1.2km.:ashamed1:
