If creative a bit can use the air-con ledge to dry your clothes, using the space there and the hot air from the air-con. It is not too bad afterall.

Trilight is of the worst in terms of paying for unusable space. The balcony + bay windows + aircon ledges + planter areas take up like >30% of stated sqft?

I don't think this condo is for own stay. How to stay? For rental more likely. Anyway, the location is not too ideal. Don't rush into it. No MRT also.

be careful when u use the AC ledge to dry clothes

when the service aircon ... sometimes they use air jet to spray clean the compressor ..and the dust will fly and fall on your clothes ..

some even use water to spray

Yah lor! Use air-con ledge to dry clothes? I use hose with those head that can have a strong spray to spray clean my air-con compressors! Their clothes got wet there is nothing I can do since that is the purpose of air-con ledge right? To hold air-con compressors only! Air-con compressors will sooner or later need servicing and cleaning!

Given the good response for the SW Residences next door, there might be spill over demand.

In terms of walking distance to the MRT, i think anything less than 10mins will be jogging.

What kind of target audiences will appeal to this location? Sea view after PSA move out?

After PSA moves out the seaview might be blocked by new developments nearer the sea.

Heard the park in front is also zoned as a residential area.
For waterfront city, likely not much high-rise.

Not sure if Roxy will under price their units compared to UOL.
If SW Residences all sold-out then unlikely. Facing for SW 18 seems better then UOL east/west facing.

hard to say underprice anot....

agts indicated 7xxk...probably 1bedder starts from 2kpsf to probably 2.5kpsf....psf 100-200psf more den next door but quantum 300k cheaper for 596sqft vs 387sqft

If people are buying for investment purposes, a studio rent out by SW Residences (500 sqf) and SW 18 (387 sqf).
Monthly there should be a difference of $500 bucks due to the loan quantum.
Of course, excluding people buying at full cash.

I think both projects are overpriced. I live near this area and it can be quite dodgy at night. It doesn't have a pleasant feel. For investment purpose there are completed condos selling at 1800-2000 psf near orchard or river valley that can yield 4%.

Yeah, was there to take a look around.
Esp the part of walking in from Outram Road, the rows of shop-houses, seems old. But for people who drives, it doesn't matter much or male tenants.

People might just be buying into the area as it's due for renewal. Just outside CBD. Freehold and rising land prices.

I visited the area a few days ago and here's my comments:

From brochure: 1 bedder layout seems okay to me and the finishings are good. From observing at nearby 24th floor HDB block: Units facing the sea are *extremely* noisy due to the double stack traffic of AYE and Keppel road. You will see tonnes of container cranes at the wharf and heavy shipping activities in the sea. Totally no sea view for the next 15 years until the sea front area gets developed. The noise will be permanent though.

I guess city view might be slightly better but the neighbouring condos are also very old and new ones might block your views. Walking to Somerset MRT will take you 20 min. Not much amenities except a coffee shop at the very old HDB block 10 min walk away...

:rolleyes:

From the brochure, I can see the living room is 1.5 times of a queen size bed !! Which means you are viewing your tv placed at the foot of the bed while you are sitting at the bed head. And anything more than 14", you will be giddy. Anyone notice that? And also, the room can only fit a queen size bed which means it is like a capsule. No room for an addition table.

Interesting. Seems like the higher the building, more traffic sounds will be echoed off.

H88 has done a review on this SW18. Seems very positive, maybe vested interests.

The website is evolving into something like propertyguru, which needs a lot of agent support... Last time its reviews used to be more impartial, such as for Vision.

At first I thought of booking one unit as I live nearby. But after staying at the point block for 5 min to get a view, and driving around the area for another 5 min to assess the amenities and distance to the MRT, my views changed.

I'm not willing to wait another 15 years after the condo TOP for the Tanjong Pagar terminal to shift away and the area gets redeveloped.

Depends on your purchasing objective, if for self-stay then you are looking at immediate moving in upon TOP. PSA not going to move anytime before 2017 and at least another 5-10yrs before the location is re-developed.

With a longer time-frame of 20-30yrs, since it's a FH, the redevelopment of the area should bring it up to it's real value.

Developer is selling you a dream waterfront living that MAY only arrive around 2030. Meanwhile you have to put up with traffic noise and ugly view. You can try walking '10min' to Somerset MRT in the afternoon - remember the walk is without shelter for most stretch. At around $2000+ psf, there are much better projects out there.

actually what i meant was better value in completed projects up for resale. may be a little older, but much better value. Can get rental income immediately too.

The cooling measure is good for genuine buyers with the financial means to sustain. It also weeds out speculators who wanted a quick buck. I guess we have to look at the basics if we are just looking at a place to stay.

But somehow or rather, the funds that's around needed to park somewhere, either in Stock Market, Property Market, Bank Savings, Commodities, Gambling, Buy Toto or 4D, Horse Racing, Acquisitions & en blocs, & many many more.

It's either you gain nothing or you gain more.

Actually, you should visit the actual location to appreciate. Even at the lowest floor in the development, you will see more unblocked or greenery view.

fyi, there's a huge greenery just right in front of SPOTTISWOODE 18 facing the future Tanjong Pagar Waterfront City, with a Heritage Tree in the middle.

I visited the location and even went up to the highest floor of the HDB block just beside the plot. I'm not willing to pay such a high psf for low floors so that I can see the trees or for high floors to see the container terminal and listen to the constant noise from AYE.

fyi, there's a huge greenery just right in front of SPOTTISWOODE 18 facing the future Tanjong Pagar Waterfront City, with a Heritage Tree in the middle.

I google everywhere but the waterfront concept is only at the proposal stage and is likely not confirmed yet. If it is feasible, usually the government just accepts the proposal and announces the plan. Scholars in civil service likes to score points one. It is almost a year already since the news came out. I still think it is too difficult for the container terminal to shift due to coastal space constraint in the west. Probably making some way for waterfront living nearer to the Marina Bay is possible but not wholesale shift until the waterfront reaches the Tanjong Pagar stretch

Previously, the estimated prices for 1 bedroom was from $7xxk. Now the new revise prices will start from $6xxk. This would mean that all unit type prices will be revise as well, making it really affordable to own this outstanding location development. This is definitely a good news for everyone.

i dun think its reached the stage where they worry about holding power. more like boutique developers need the revenue, so since their profit margins for shoebox is damn high, they can easily afford to cut the price and still make healthy profits and yet still move the units.

this weekend is interesting but i m busy. anyone visiting any new launches today? Vibes @ Kovan or Poets Villas? can update us on how hot it is? then we can watch this project on next tues. :)

Can we know who this Senior agent is? It's very serious for him to misrepresent. I need the name & contact number. Is he from Huttons? Or other agency?

I'm amazed by how Business Times can come up to that conclusion. Did they interview the developer or the Project Director personally? If they just based on hearsay or some "SENIOR AGENT" or just looking at condosingapore only. Business Times, please explain yourself...

My guess is Richard is correct. Only $600k+ for selected low floor units. Premium units will still be >$700k. Doesn't this tactic sound familiar? (i.e. NTUC Fairprice/Giant/... lelong tactic to attract draw crowd)

i believe so ...

its location (though i only know its rough location) is much better than many others in the burbs ... no reason to cut prices too drastically ...

this initial cut for less preferred units are to get the ball rolling ..at least to get some sales .. otherwise bad vibes

Anyway, as the good agent has clarified, there would not be such a deal. I would have wasted my cheque. I am willing to go up to 650-660k though.

"Today, Roxy-Pacific Holdings will roll out its new residential project, Spottiswoode 18. Prices at the project on Spottiswoode Park Road will start from $688,900, the developer said yesterday. Previously, agents had said that prices started from upwards of $700,000.
The 251-unit Spottiswoode 18 has one- and two-bedroom units as well as duplexes and penthouses. Units range in size from 387 sq ft to 1,324 sq ft. More than half of the units - 150 out of 251 - are 387 sq ft.
Spottiswoode 18 will built on the site which now houses Dragon Mansion. Roxy-Pacific in 2009 bought the 72-unit Dragon Mansion in a collective sale for $100.8 million, or $863 psf per plot ratio including the estimated development charge."

You mentioned 1st property, that would affect all buyers of both HDB and private. That's not killing speculators, that's killing real home buyers.

any measures should only apply to 2nd ppty onwards, as have all other measures so far.


that's impossible, first time owners will not be able to buy anything.

Very interesting. MM is still so hot after 4 rounds of beating.:scared-4:

Why is MM so impervious to high SSD and low LTV?

i think maybe only for new launches they can becoz they lose minimal interest earnings. for completed projects, margins too low for them to give this rate.

I feel we should have 50% SSD for 3 years. But LTV shouldn't make it at 60%. There are genuine long term investors and you are telling them - only the rich can retire. A very bad message and election coming soon. Not fair to them either. Imagine you save 5 years for 25% downpayment then suddenly, you need 40%.

SSD should kill off short-mid term speculators. Who want to speculate when SSD at 50% ?

:banghead:

Isn't DBS a government-linked bank? Why are they offering such rates and full legal subsidy for this project? What message are they trying to convey to the rest of the banks? :simmering:

sold out by today? :scared-4:

if not for the measures...wud hf been sold out by 2pm oredi and at 100psf more....

still got quite a fair bit of units above 20 flrs avail...

furnishings better den uol....no baywindow/planter boxes...and yet psf is about the same for 1bedder and slightly cheaper for their 1+study/2bedder in psf wise...

personally, 1+study , 506sqft is the best ....20th flr about 1mil...whereas 1bedder 20th flr , 387sqft about 800k....20th flr 2bedder, 657sqft will cost nearly 1.3mil

oh ya, the developer enbloc one side nia....the other tower with address spott 14 havent enbloc yet as they r more greedy...hehe....and if they got enbloc...they will block all the view for units at spott18 facing SGH.....facing south aso will be blocked if govt decide to sell the land....which means no view so to speak....only temp view....lol....similar to icon's fate

conclusion: this is still a better buy den spott R as quantum is lower and yet psf is comparable or even slightly lesser on average......oh ya...this one got xtra tennis court....
