Met my agent at the appreciation dinner and he shared that 500++ units sold already and two more stacks, 30 units each not yet release for sales. Piling work has started with crane, excavator onsite.

Btw, Sapphire prices hit $690psf, eight courtyards pulling the neighbor prices up.

I went to both and found out that hedges finishing is only better in terms of its compressed marble living room.. the rest are the same.. anyway i feel, for a mass market condo, 8cy showflat looks quite solid..

compressed marble vs tiles living room cant possibly constitute a difference of 160psf construction cost.. and the fridge and washer will be given by hong leong not lian beng right.. perhaps the 8cy engages a lot of other sub-contractors to build different stuff, swimming pool, clubhouse etc.. otherwise 193psf is really too low to be believable..

If its a total 20% then not necessary to have any work now... fundation will complete about 6-9 months after commencement of work which should render another 10% payment from you after the first 20% payment.

btw, possible to complete within 18 months if they are fast enough. but clift maybe built slowly cos of hidden agenda from feo...wanna push up top floor selling price so cannot complete too early.....lol...

if it is a sold out project, no incentive for contractor/main con to build slowly.

KSH wins $138.4m condo contract

It will construct 654-unit Eight Courtyards near Yishun MRT station

By CARINE LEE


KSH Holdings has won a $138.4 million contract to construct Eight Courtyards - a 99-year leasehold condominium development near Yishun MRT station.

The construction, property development and property management group was awarded the project by Yishun Gold Pte Ltd, a joint-venture company of Frasers Centrepoint and Far East Organization.

The 654-unit condo will be at the crossroads of Yishun Ave 2, Yishun Ave 7 and Canberra Drive. It is named Eight Courtyards for its distinctive feature of eight courtyards.

Construction is slated to commence in December this year and will take 29 months to complete.

The newest contract boosted the existing book order of KSH Holdings to about $360 million. 'The unfulfilled contract value for all existing contracts on hand is expected to be completed by May 2014,' it said.

The luxurious residential development will have five blocks of 14-storey and seven blocks of 15-storey residential buildings, a basement carpark, a multi-storey carpark, two retail shops and other communal facilities.

'This contract underscores KSH's strong track record and excellent reputation in the industry and is testament to our quality services,' said Choo Chee Onn, executive chairman and managing director of KSH Holdings.

A main contractor in both the public and private construction sectors in Singapore, KSH Holdings is currently constructing two new primary schools for the Ministry of Education as well as a four-storey Education Resource Centre, five blocks of common facility buildings and two blocks of undergraduate residential colleges for National University of Singapore.

In the private sector, KSH Holdings is currently constructing Ardmore Three in Ardmore Park and Centennia Suites in River Valley. Other developments are Madison Residences in Bukit Timah and Watten Residences.

Some of KSH's completed high-end residential projects are The Orange Grove in Stevens Road and Marina Collection, Seascape, The Coast and Turquoise in Sentosa Cove.

Hi,

To all those who has been viewing other condos, besides having full condo facilities which is common to all condos, what do you think of the design of 8 courtyards? I have view miltonia , hedges park on line, i feel that the condo design is more futuristic look and 8 courtyards is err.. more normal except the wellness and the spa courtyard. THe other courtyard like inspirational , discovery hmmm. nothing special.. what is your view?

NS12 is speculative. Yishun will still do well regardless. Residential site near Miltonia area to break-even at $750psf and sell at $850-$900psf.

8cy is a steal and even more so when NSE is ready.

My view of 8courtyards is that although it is cheap, rate of appreciation would be slower given its location as it's not exactly near MRT or amenities. Whereas Miltonia area is nearer to CTE and Seletar, locationally more attractive as the large empty plots along Ave 1 all slated for pte residential in the future, will become a very private enclave by the reservoir....hence more attractive to me.

Different strategy I guess.

To me, property must be as liquid as possible. Segment between HDB upgraders and mass market is the best. Yields are also the best. Capital gains game is over liao as the big run up is done. Strategy now is a pure yield game with ability to liquidate easily when necessary.

D9, D10 or Sentosa Cove is most attractive to anyone but how many dare to stomach the risk at this point?

Yes agree with your strategy. I assume yield wld be dependent on the following 3As for mass market segment:

1) accessibility (assumption: most tenants do not drive)
2) amenities (assumption: most tenants eat out, carry their groceries home etc)
3) attractiveness (assumption: most tenants tend to want value for money for their rental I.e good-facing, facilities, classy condo with affordable rental)

And yields for new mass market condos largely untested because most budget renters will rent older units for a lower price.

NS12 is speculative. Yishun will still do well regardless. Residential site near Miltonia area to break-even at $750psf and sell at $850-$900psf.

8cy is a steal and even more so when NSE is ready.

Don't think too much about the MRT station. It's a bonus to have.

Yishun MRT isn't that far as well, more over straight road from 8cy to Yishun (900m) MRT.

Very fast with shuttle or public feeder bus.

I currently live 700m away from MRT, i also take a feeder, costs me $0.03. Since it's distance-based fare system now, i think the whole idea of living very near a MRT station idea isn't as attractive as before.

I live right on top of an MRT station before, sometimes the crowd gets real giddy during weekends especially if it's a integrated mall as well.

Just wait till NSE ready. Two expressways to reach home.

The few sites opposite Sapphire slated for business usage.

Easy to commute to JB when the MRT link is ready. In fact, tenders are being called to choose the bid participants for construction.

The real place to chill out is in the north and even further north outside of Singapore.

Johor Bahru is improving as well, should take a drive in and check out.... More police patrolling, new developments and etc.....

Plus, Peter Lim investing $2billion with Johor Royal Family....

I will want to be closer to a place that I can get away during weekends and anytime I wish as well.

Simply because someareass do not deserve the value.

From a social and psychology standpoint, people who buy such districts are wannabes, 'atas' who want to think and feel like they are the rich, but they aren't. They can't afford silversea or amber so they go for telok Kurau. There are so many boutique developments there that will pull the price down as fast as a whore will pull the pants off a guy during the downturn. Why? Such developments are only riding on the success of worthy neighbourig district projects.

From a supply demand perspective, there are way too many developments without a mass market population in certain districts to support the supply especially during downturn. In OCR, where people value ties, will buy to live near parents and especially so if price has dropped slightly.

Just look at wannabe 'atas' behaviour, cannot afford then sell and rent lor. Continue to live the pretentious lifestyle. They form a growing but still small part of the population and congregate at such districts. I'm not saying there aren't good people living in such area, but in their midst are those wannabe who do not have holding power and will force sell during such downturn. If the whole of East district tanks? Which developments will you buy first? The best ones along the coast obviously. Telok Kurau is far from it. The same goes for Balestier which is the poorest cousin among orchard, newton, novena.

Why didn't I mention toa Payoh? Because it will be supported by the masses, I.e HDB upgraders.

I really like to see the wannabes die! Ah boys included. I dare you to buy TK now and compare the results in 24 mths should a downturn happen. I'm vested in North and you should too before you start passing remarks about other districts.

I believe with more HDB and condos TOP at other areas, north will suffer more, unless they are right next to the MRT station (and with a more capable SMRT management team).

Sell out project after Estuary. The large pool of upgraders from Yishun, Sembawang & Woodlands. I see the price is around $720 - $750 psf avg. Further the govt has estimated 725units, but the developer only build 665 units. Not more but less. So you wldn't be expecting a small swimming pool like Trilliant in Tampines.

that's good, nowadays too many units crammed into too little land....hard to find decent condos with breathable space

even ECs are following the trend, smaller sizes (900 sq ft for 3BR) and more units per unit land

Indeed this surprised me. Nowadays, developers will build abt 10 - 20% more units than govt estimates. This EC is about 10% less units. Expect bigger size, bigger swimming pool etc. Will be launching in 2 months time. :D

Another future station will be at Sungei Kadut. One new road is currently under construction and directly opposite, a factory space has been acquired & demolished along the line. Now only with grass field.

jz jogging there this early morning.. if the canberra/simpang MRT station is to be built, the platform will be on outer side of tracks, rather than the platform in the between tracks. This is due to the tracks stretched from Yishun to Sembawang are built side by side rather than a gap in between for future platfrom :)

Infact Govt should get ready NS12 MRT before many of the residential side TOp coming 2014/2015. I notice that some of the circle line MRT Station not many passenger , but they still build the station there. NS 12 near by have many housing already, It on hold 10yr++ since NS line operated, Look like no body care, Complaint to MP, etc. So that it may hold for anothe 10yr. i think must alert authotities, otherwise no action taken. wait and wait again , with MRT Station there those who stay near the Ave 7 HDB/ landed house/ PC(YS and YE) / industrial employee / can use the facility by walking distance rather then all squee at Yishun MRT station. To LTA , if they want to build MRT station like Dover not difficult, I think less then a year, Operating cost to gov or big organisation small matter lah. Depend on they want / dun want. Just remeber as a service and convinience to resident nearby.

Two next possible townships (http://www.aboutsingaporeproperty.com/two-next-possible-townships/)


TENGAH and Simpang might be the next townships to be developed, Minister for National Development Mah Bow Tan said yesterday.
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__D9wajg6hQM/S5Hg1ma6mjI/AAAAAAAABHI/hrgfkoG1Wgo/s320/ST+6+Mar+10+Town.jpg (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__D9wajg6hQM/S5Hg1ma6mjI/AAAAAAAABHI/hrgfkoG1Wgo/s1600-h/ST+6+Mar+10+Town.jpg)
‘Flat buyers need not fear that there are not enough flats,’ Mr Mah said. ‘When Punggol is fully built up, we will consider building in new areas such as Tengah and Simpang.’
The two areas – Simpang in the north-east, and Tengah in the west – were fielded as potential development sites as early as the 1990s.
Simpang town first made its appearance on the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s 1991 Concept Plan, where it was mentioned as one of the next possible housing estates in the same breath as Punggol, Sembawang, and Sengkang.
Simpang town is located on the coast, bounded by the Strait of Johor to the north, Sembawang town to the west, Yishun town to the south and the mouth of the former Sungei Seletar to the east.
In the URA’s Simpang development guide plan, the area was meant to be a waterfront town, featuring waterfront homes and sea sports facilities.
There were even plans for a light rail system through the area.
These grand plans were evidently shelved, however, as the area remains a mixture of forest and swamp. The Simpang training grounds were at one point in use by the Singapore Armed Forces artillery as a training ground.
There have been fewer designs on the area at Tengah – bounded by Brickland Road, the KJE, PIE and Bukit Batok Road.
Today, the forested piece of land remains an excellent source of wild durians.
However, a spokesman for the Ministry of National Development stressed that there are no concrete plans to develop the areas yet. He stressed that Mr Mah highlighted the two areas only to demonstrate the adequacy of housing space.
‘(The) towns will only be developed at the appropriate time when there is sufficient demand,’ said a spokesman for HDB. ‘There was no prior commitment to develop both towns.

that's the problem.... every other region residents want the northern region to be "quiet".. that's why there's no development in northern.. all big projects are concentrated in central, southern, western and eastern... everyone wants their own region to be developed.. but please keep "quiet" the northlanders.. :tsk-tsk:

this is really unfair .. because northern region has so much lands and so much potentials.. so everywhere else can be branded as "city" but north must be "ulu" because that's the last piece of ulu place found on singapore map.. :beats-me-man: sigh....

once i talked to another friend who live in south.. he laughed at me why staying sembawang!!?? that's very ulu leh~~ got HDB and mall there meh....?? :banghead:

"However, a spokesman for the Ministry of National Development stressed that there are no concrete plans to develop the areas yet. He stressed that Mr Mah highlighted the two areas only to demonstrate the adequacy of housing space.

‘(The) towns will only be developed at the appropriate time when there is sufficient demand,’ said a spokesman for HDB. ‘There was no prior commitment to develop both towns."

Anyway, foundation work need very long time.. CR's foundation took about 10-11 months for the first few stacks. Once foundation done, the building structures can raise very fast...

i remember waterview launched about 2 months before CR. Now some of their building already hit level 6.

Rosewood suites (5 storeys) took 2 years+ to TOP, Waterfront waves(about 15 storeys took around 3.5+ years to TOP. The fast one should be CDL projects (eg. NV and Treehouse) due to the pre-cast technique they used in their buildings. :2cents:

When Yishun hub is up, Sembawang & some AMK residents will also shop here. This will make the situation worst if nothing is being done. Dun forget many thousands new residents coming in in few years time.

NPark can spend $77 mil on Bishan Park, why not LTA spend $10 $20 mil in NS12 to solve the problem we are facing apparently.

So NS12 is becoming likely with more developments on the empty plot even without the Business land plot opposite. :D

LTA is considering for more openings (exit) or removal of Kiosk & atms etc at Yishun mrt. but i generally feels that the holding area is very small and will not solve the problem.

They should also consider relocating NTUC supermarket to the other side (open field), enlarge the holding area 3 times, increase the size of existing underpass and building a overhead bridge link to future Yishun hub
