Higher Budget but lower risk investors consider getting skysuites.

Its a make-money project

that depends on your risk level and budget

What do you Mean? Which one risk higher and which one make ore Money? Both same concept, so lower risk in this scenario should make more money

Did u buy a unit?

Went to the show flat. #12 floor is the lowest floor. There are still some very low floor studio units available.

The very high floor studios are at around $1m and the show flat is for the 398 sfeet which should be better buy than the smaller 365sfeet. Excellent use of space.

Agents kept saying at least 4% yield at $1m.

For studios

Pros

1. Excellent layout and use of space for studios
2. Quantum at $1m studio in CCR is acceptable in today's market
3. Sky gardens particularly the 2 floor open concept 360 at 72 floors should be quite spectacular when completed
4. Competitive rents in the area
5. Unusual that Car park space is provided
6. Fantastic location for eateries, shops/malls both day & night

Cons

1.Some expats may like bigger size studios
2.No marble flooring
3.There will be few owners staying, maintc and managment efficiency may give problems in future
4.Growing competition in the area
5.Capital appreciation is unclear
6. Waterfront devpt still a very long wait

To each individual, RISK is every subjective.

Wow, looks like a spaceship (open air?) on top. Very unusual.

The photo if taken correctly, shows a gap between the two front buildings, so all the units for skysuites likely to have a pocket seaview at the left angle

Nice pics. So when is it going to TOP? next month?
Probably worthwhile to take a look. If able to rent $3.5k for studios, its 4-5% yield for those who bought.

Next door Altez seems to be doing very well with rentals.

Is this taken at the 72th storey?

The night linear vertical lines (250m long) bring out the height of the building.

Seen showflat before it closed. Actual onsite showflat should be facing the sea and port.

will go to take a look after TOP.

Allgreen bought land quite cheap, cheaper than fareast next door,

Will see if they can give some discounts

$6.2. Those first buyer during initial launch still ok. Those buy after that jia lat.

Imagine you buy a 2M 2 bedders and rent out 4.5k - 5k. I see liao balls also shrink. Installment already 6 to 7k easily. Plus maintenance, tax, you repent.

studios/1rm all fully sold long time ago. Only 2 n 3bedders are the unsold stock in this development.
The view on top is really worth a visit.. many are very impressed with the superb panoramic view on the 72th flr. The common facilities however are actually not TOP ready from what I observed.. allgreen really jin anxious to issue keys.

As for the yield, have to clarify that not all will get a high 5%-6.X% because the studio/1rm price range for 690k to almost 1mil depending on size and flr and also how desperate landlord are looking to rent for. End of day, it's all about the quantum game

From Chinatown roads, this condo looks slightly taller than Altez. The 2 towers look like iconic landmarks in our skyline

guess this condo will do well since rents lower than Altez

Went up also as well

took lift to 72th floor then took another smaller lift from 72th up to open air skygarden.

Amazing view, open air, like MBS,

evening and daybreak will be of different experience

the 2 rooms have decent space but rooms are small, those to the left of Altez are blocked

The studios are very tiny (350sft), the bigger sea facing studios are better

furnishing is good with the wine cellar and others

but no marble floor

At 2.8 to 3k rental, looks like very very good yield

Congrats to all the buyers:glee:

only saw the 2 room and studios/1room

if u are looking at studios, go for those facing the pool with a comfortable view not too high

if looking at the bigger partition studio, the very high floor full seaview ones are better no west sun

for 2 room think the stack 3 very high floor ones are better bec not blocked by altez.

the 3 bedders are much higher and most high floors not available for viewing

If you take the roof top view as a guide the high floor view should be awesome

overall very unique project in its own way, albeit small units

their so called premium sea facing studio units are bet 50-55 floors, above which are the 3 roomers, there are 2 more studios >500sfeet that were sold at record pfs (around 2.8kpfs+)

The release of the studios units is quite confusing, appears ad hoc and not following levels, some are still available, like the high floor city facing


Not sure about CNY discount though. Interesting if developer gives discount. They bought land very cheap then.

Those facing pool view no noon sun actually for lower flrs coz tio blocked

Higher flr very gd view but it depends on whether it is justifiable to pay more than 250k premium especially the roof top you can go anytime and it even has a outdoor bar kiosk to host a rooftop party

cant upload photos.

yes agree pool view low floor quite nice, the problem is unit sizes for these pools facing units very small (360sfeet), don't know how furniture can fit in.

from bottom floor to highest floor the studio/1 roomer rental yield probably bet 4% to 6%, so all owners should be very happy

if renting, agents says the 2 roomer (667sft) can get for 4k or even lower

went to see Altez next door unit size starts from 520+ sfeet, all low floors, good size

Altez has a few extra facilities but no top floor open air sky garden, so skysuites win on this area.

both projects connected to icon village, very good strategic location

Its possible actually, if you optimize the baywindow it actually becomes more spacious than the 398. Basically with renovation the smaller layout is actually more efficient than the larger 1rm

Will you stay there yourself? If yes, you may want to do some renovation and "optimise" the space.
If no, I wonder will you renovate for your tenant and incur more capital expenditure?

King size based on flr plan buay sai. If you use the bay window to place your bed there, king size for 365sqft possible.
However I will not even consider king size on a MM unit. There has been rental at 3.3 or 3.5k based what I understand, probably srx will reflect the data in the coming 1-2wk

The bigger 398sqft unit shouldn't have problem accommodating a King size bed comfortably.
The width of the room is about 2.8m, king size width is 1.83m. So there is probably still 40-50cm walking space on each side :peaceful:

agree the non loft unit good layout and very good space. For tenants who want more space, this condo is good.

The slightly negative part is it is older and views are blocked on either side by PS100 and Altez

Been to view. Like what others have said. Quite a unique condo. The crown view is really icing on the cake

facilities wise, somehow Altez feels like having more

For studio rentals, some asking for <3k now

agree the 2 roomer 667sfeet has a good spacious feel

Everything looks great except the studios just a little small.

Wonder whether owners are putting car park space for rent since everyone has a lot.

Today ST quoted one agent claiming no rental for this condo's 2 bedder for 2months and asking rental dropped from 3.9k to 3.5k and still no takers

maybe that might explain the small no of rental take up

But quite surprised by the report,

This is quite an iconic brand new condo, MRT, Mall, Eateries, CBD all at doorstep

Imagine those condos with no mrt, no mall, no eateries, far away at outskirts, what will happen to their rental?:scared-3:

A few possible reasons. But really not too sure why...

1. Maybe size too small for the rent offered? For 3.5K can get a 3BR or 4BR at the outskirts quite easily - easier for a medium sized family or a few tenants to share?

2. Maybe the existing supply in this region already catered extremely well for the much touted group of renting lawyers and bankers who don't own cars?

3. OCR houses many good schools and a much broader range of employment opportunities in vicinity?

4. Maybe an increasing group has decided that owning cars and working / travelling in the outskirts is much more cost-effective?

More data is needed to be sure. Today ST also has a report that Far East Plaza is struggling. Can you imagine so close to Orchard and so iconic, and yet...

Been to view previously. thought the 2 bedder quite is nice and spacious and suitable for single or couple

Those fellow viewers I saw all looked like professionals, no children. so your point 2 is a more likely scenario

Having said that just checked URA, rentals for their 2 bedder in March were all done bet 4 to 4.5k and compatible with asking prices in ppty guru

Wonder if the problem lies with that unit (facing) or agent. up to 1k lower than last done and still no takers for brand new unit?

rare for agents to on papers claiming drastic drop in rentals but still no takers.

since the targeted market is investor, it's hard to compete with the neighbor like Icon.
Icon is older by 10 years but very well maintained with modern-look. Has more comfortable size unit, great swimming pool, half maintenance fee (150 for icon, 300 for sky despite icon size is 60% larger), a good reputation for rental market.

Still relaunching again?

There are still some very low and very high floor units for sale

The unique 72th floor 360 open view and free carpark slot are most attractive for this condo

Just seen the marketing ads

The average rental for their sea facing 1 room units in june on URA around 3k

Their advert price starts at 8xxk, so decent yield still in today's market even at 1m

Unless you are looking at very high floors, this development has tough competition around. It is not really a mixed development (5 shops) which sets it back. Wallich Residence should be quite interesting to compare with this.

Cannot compare the two because quantum vastly different, Wallich minimum close to 2m, skysuites starts at 8xx

Based on URA data, skysuites rental for 1 room 3k, can Wallich 1 room rent out for 6k?

Think the newer ones such as EON and V on shenton are closer competitors

With new shorter rental ruling, generally these CBD condos will probably benefit

Totally not comparable. One is a MM purely for rental yield. One is targeting at a different group of buyers. A studio there is > 2M. That exclude 99% of buyers easily.

Caveats for first half of Aug out,

Looks like they have sold a number of units (24/25)

Lowest floor 1 roomer sold 877k, quite decent gross yield aound 4%

Probably more caveats will come
