see http://www.hkhs.com/eng/about/index.asp
this is an independent non-gov organization that builds affordable housings for the public, serving as in-between of private and public.

Popular should have followed the tide and build MM. The response would have been totally different.

guys. i m not an MM fan. but correct me if i am wrong. in hk, MMs are built more for the poor who can't afford. psf of MM is lower or equal to normal units and not at super high premiums like here. MMs there are not marketed like here where they are positioned as "affordable LUXURY". is that right?

u r sharp ;) yes by and large "luxury" apartments in HK are bigger and higher in psf. in the same atas area, a MM's psf is generally lower than that of a real regular sized unit, sometimes even significantly lower. The SG "tiny luxury" marketing style is not for Hkers.

in fact, those high end condos in orchard r selling higher psf for their penthse....and OCR/RCR penthse r lower

that gives me a creepy feeling about the MMs here. some forumers say, "MMs sure can rent to expats, look at HK."
i think yes. but as the supply of MMs increase, there aren't that many expats who love MMs to absorb. with reference to hk, the MMs there seem more meant for the less well off locals than for rental to expats?

yes. but also depends on the design of the penthouse and how unique. let me attack duchess again. 24 penthouses. where got unique? hahahahaha...OCR style kind of penthouse.
on a seperate note, i think URA is possibly reading our forum. they will probably set the new min. 500sq ft rule sometime in the future after listening to us. :) :tongue3:

Richard Sng must be laffing all the way to the bank...
Do you think one day MM fatigue will set in huh? Sibei sian - every launch also MM.
bargain hunter

precisely what i was saying above. it is possible that supply may outstrip demand for MM in future at the rate things are going. there will come a point of MM fatigue. just dunno when. in the meantime good wat, help to absorb excess liquidity hee.

i aso begin to worry abt my 500-600sqft 1bedders...:scared-3:
worried 2-3yrs later all these disgusting 3xxsqft MMs spoil the rental market:scared-1:
that gives me a creepy feeling about the MMs here. some forumers say, "MMs sure can rent to expats, look at HK."
HK has a much much bigger demand pool. plenty of low paying single "expats" or swingers. MM is ok. Let's be honest, SG is a pretty boring city for them ;)
MMs in SG, well I'm not sure.... market is very different. Although the demand is less, there aren't many alternatives for low paying expats ... I still think a single low grade expat will rent a MM condo rather than HDB.
Until now NONE of the 26 units are sold! :scared-3: :eek: :scared-4:

will the developer go bust ?
bargain hunter

developer is popular. quite cash rich. should be ok.
I viewed the previous "showflat" before.
Even got the brochure - hehe!
Agent just called me last week to re-view.
But do you really want to stay next to Value Hotel ?
Unless u have an interest in monitoring "hotel" activities.

The Jalan Datoh road is very busy during daytime, esp the one way that goes to Balestier. The Jln Rajah loop appears quieter.
Value Hotel looks quite decent from outside, walked past a few times during daytime, no unusual activity. Wonder what is the area like late at night. With 4-5 new condos surrounding it, next time the area may look much more "residential"

esp when the units are "big" family units of 4/5 bedder of 2000 sq ft.

8 Raja, Nuang, Twin peaks... odd names for condo or apartments. Developers at cld name them better. How abt 88 Jaar? At least it sounds auspicious.
they should have just follow the trend and build MM, somemore it is besides hotel. Maybe since none sold, developer should try to resubmit plans to change configuration to have some MM.

err, anyone can confirm that the building is already at an advanced stage? i think too late to change. :ashamed1:

Ehh.. i think the building has already been up and completed. I dont see any more construction activities, at least for the past few months.
Apparently it has been completed and the showflat is an actual unit.

Popular kept saying during their results announcement that they will launch when its completed but i think they already kept trying to sell before it was completed. anyway, now completed liao still not sold any.
