I notice that there is a plot of land designated as school along Dairy Farm Rd just beside the recently sold land parcel. However, this plot of land for school has never been in the original 2008 URA master plan. Did URA add a new plot of land for this school or simply shift it from another location under the original plan. Just curious...:confused:

As mentioned earlier, I could not afford one with reservoir view as my pocket not deep enough. Bought a 2 BR facing Tree House pool at 7 floor end May last year. Need to rent out to pay off my loan for next 10 years. May consider staying after clearing the debt.

I regretted not chosing a unit facing the hill cos more x. Later checked URA website and found someone bought the same floor with same area facing hill yet cheaper than my unit...:banghead: .

Bro Dan suggested we bang wall together...but dont bang too hard in case the building topple on our friendly neighbours.

...ok I will be listening out for the drums from foresque when you guys move in...think I don't mind those sound so much, better than the construction pounding at ES when they get started...... and I think the monkeys got scred by the excavator at ES, have not been seeing them of late......btw its a likelihood that there will be a pond opposite FR where the canal flows from Diary Farm, a triangular patch has 0 sqm indicated in it, meaning no development will be built, and the canal outline opens up into the trainagular patch.......this is based on the proposed ammendment to URA master plan, behind that there is a park separating the adjacent right plot that is at the corner of Petir/Chestnut ave junction. The Petrol station is no longer indicated there so possibly moved to the left corner at teh junction of Petir/Diary farm rd.

I will change the glass panel to foldable type to fully open up the glass panels, thus makes the hall looks bigger. i arrange the dining this way so its much easier to walk from bedrooms to kitchen. this only applies to unit 1130. others cannot be arrange like this.

your propose layout might not work because the gap between the dining table and the living sofa will be very narrow and it will make it difficult for the people sitting at the living area to move around. Especially going to the kitchen etc.

also the placement of dining table will have to be very close to the wall and this will make it very difficult to people sitting inside to move in any out. if you have a longer dinner table, it will be worst.

In general your propose layout doesnt have a good fengsui as the positive energy coming in from your main door be block by the sofa and dining table and the natural path is to head straight toward the balcony.

this is a common problem which is very easy to fix. most people will build a fake wall, plant, etc, as long as its not shoe cabinet. For a living room to feel good, the passage way must not be block.

Best is to wait till TOP to get a feel of place before deciding on the layout and design.

Fengshui is not just about wealth, it include health and happiness.

FS for me top priority is health and harmony.
wealth has always been a good-to-have.

i am not born with 橫財運, so never think much about extra money. just need to work hard and invest wisely, the money will come. in order to work hard, need good health. so everything still come back to health.

same applies for family. with a harmonious and supportive family, can concentrate better on work.

this is a common problem which is very easy to fix. most people will build a fake wall, plant, etc, as long as its not shoe cabinet. For a living room to feel good, the passage way must not be block.

Best is to wait till TOP to get a feel of place before deciding on the layout and design.


Build fake wall / The passage must not be block
you mean nothin can be place from main door to balcony,
the passage must be free from obstacle.
if that the case where can we place the sofa or the dining tables?

Dun worry la.. There is one feng shui master living in sm.. He may ask all the buyer to build a wall at the main entrance to block Wat ever bad qi... Walk into the kitchen, knock down the common toilet shower area and walk into the living room and bedrooms.. As for toilet can convert the backyard into toilet. :p

I think you got the concept of fengshui wrong lah. the qi needs to flow through the entire house, not just straight into your bedroom, plus
and kitchen is also an import part of the home, it is not just a place for your maid to do her cooking.

yah. the 3 most impt parts of the house - the stove, bedroom, and perhaps the front door (or main facing). if you get all these 3 elements correct, u are more or less there. the rest is just small compensation. there is a very good reason why the FS master bot his SM unit at that specific stack.

4 and 5 more impt. so what is more impt is to do good and constantly learn and upgrade. FS can only help that much.

No, shanhz did his homework before purchasing the unit.
He eventually decided on sm for the fengshui.

I don't know much and don't believe in Fs at all but it is evident that his stack has very good fengshui, You can ask around as well with your own FS master.
Was told have mountain and water, and the swimming pool looks like a yuan bao and is directly facing his stack.

Wat is good to u may not be good to me .. Yishun got mountain? Than I must tell u from my unit I can see real mountain, reservoir, and swimming pool, plus main door not facing balcony 有山有水 dun need to imagine all can see by my own eye.. but agent told me can see Singapore flyer. The big wheel that roll money into Singapore huat ah. But I dun believe from my unit can see! but than still need to see财 位, I believe in fs but sometime the master ask u to do funny thing will u follow a not. Like my client dun know husband or wife lack of fire in their life. So master ask them to paint the bedhead area in red.. Husband refuse so the master advice to paint the wall red first than cover with partitional wall than lay wall paper to my client choice.Their 财位 at common toilet also need to build a red shelf inside the toilet and grow money plant. Some master advice put this ornament here and there but if client dun want .. Master will advice to put inside false ceiling..-after all I believe in fs just than when ask to build or put funny ornament here and there I know I will not follow. So I will not engage one to limit my house interior design. For example I like to hack down my kitchen wall to made the living look bigger but master say fs not good,how? To do or not do! Since pay ppl professional service than got to follow right! But I also want a open concept kitchen. Does it mean hack half wall than build glass in the centre to see through. Half half win win situation is it?

ok ok.. anyway, like i say, FS is about harmony and environmental science. my master is a very practical person. he advocates maximising the interaction between external and internal environment to achieve the best synergy.

until now, my house is very comfortable and everybody (in the family) feels like coming home and stay at home rather than hang out other places. that is what FS is all about.

correct use of lights, fans, painting with the right colour, etc etc. all common sense things that sometimes we miss out. maximising the good sectors in the house and avoiding the bad sectors. eg: choosing the right room to sleep and to study to maximise the benefits of that sector.

Previously, when Foresque website indicated 39 units remaining, I remember there was a description saying that those were regular units which excluded Penthouse and Cabana units. Probably WT was too shy to disclose that most of the Penthouse and Cabana were not taken up. In the latest update, WT decide to disclose the remaining units of Penthouse and Cabana available, hence, the discrepancies.

ST 29 Dec: Sleepy enclave's leafy retreats lure buyers

IF A small and quiet retreat close to nature sounds like home, then the Chestnut and Dairy Farm areas might be the place to be.

The Chestnut Avenue enclave comprises a low-density area with landed houses, including good-class bungalows, and a high-density zone, with mature and upcoming condominium developments. Both sections are near leafy spots such as the Dairy Farm Nature Park, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the Central Catchment Nature Reserve.

Recent new launches such as SP Setia's 483-unit Eco Sanctuary - where buyers have snapped up more than 160 units at a median price of $1,050 per sq ft (psf) - have created even more buzz in the sleepy estate.

More than 1,800 new homes in five projects are expected to be completed by 2018, Dennis Wee Group (DWG) noted.

Experts say the flurry of activity began with the launch of City Developments' 429-unit Tree House in April 2010 - a time when the market was still untested.

The success of the project - it has sold out - set the stage for others to take flight, such as Eco Sanctuary, the 496-unit Foresque Residences, and the 40-unit landed project Michaels' Residences.

A Dairy Farm Road site that can yield about 390 homes was sold in September this year.

Prices of new flats have risen from the $800 psf to $900 psf range in early 2010, to between $1,150 and $1,300 psf now for similar-sized apartments, according to Savills Singapore research head Alan Cheong.

That is a 44 per cent increase in just under three years.

Selling prices at the recently transacted Dairy Farm Road site are also expected to top $1,400 psf when launched, he said.

Similarly, resale prices for freehold properties have risen in tandem, jumping by up to 10 per cent in the past year, R'ST Research director Ong Kah Seng added.

Prices are generally on the uptrend, as both buyers and sellers anticipate improved accessibility once the Downtown MRT line is completed, he said.

"Cashew Heights condo resale prices average $920 to $950 psf, while prices at The Dairy Farm were about $1,000 psf recently," Mr Ong noted.

However, rental demand is more subdued, as Cashew MRT station, which will increase accessibility to the city centre, will not be completed until 2015.

Mr Lee Sze Teck, senior manager of training, research and consultancy at DWG, said non-landed housing rents range from $2.20 to $2.50 psf a month, giving a gross yield of 2.4 to 2.7 per cent.

"But then the existing developments are almost 20 years old and are larger in size. The newer developments with smaller units should be able to fetch higher rentals," he added.

"The area tends to attract more owner occupiers than investors because of the living environment and distance from major employment centres. The lack of an MRT station at the moment also affects the draw of the area to tenants."

Shoppers have Rail Mall and Bukit Panjang Plaza, while the area's schools include CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace, Chestnut Drive Secondary School and Bukit Panjang Primary School.

Although the area is a quiet estate, Savills' Mr Cheong points out that it could get congested once all the residential sites are sold and completed.

There are also two parcels zoned for education that could add to the congestion.

But the completion of the Downtown MRT line and the rejuvenation of the western part of Singapore bode well for the area's potential.

"Not only will the Upper Bukit Timah, Cashew, Chestnut and Hillview areas benefit from new MRT stations, they can finally be positioned as mid-tier private homes which are conveniently located," R'ST's Mr Ong added.

While supply will increase with the new completions, investors can expect a broader, stronger tenant demand base, as the gradual development of Jurong Gateway will prompt major firms to relocate.

"While there are private homes in Lakeside and Jurong East to cater to them, (some) may consider the Upper Bukit Timah area since it will be better connected to the West with the completion of Downtown Line 2," Mr Ong said.

It should be only 2-3 months from the date of payment of exercise of option and payment of stamp duty.

However be sure that you have adequate documentation/agreement to claim the rebate. I am told, though not sure, that last year as part of control measures, Government banned the developers to give stamp duty rebates. If it has already taken considerable time, be sure that you are not affected by the rule and there is enough documentation for you to claim the rebate.

There are the 2 side-letters officially issued by the developer on the stamp duty rebate and 5% cash incentive...based on the wording in those documents...the maximum time for them to provide the rebate is 1 month from the completion of the 20% downpayment and proof of stamp duty payment.

It seems that the developer is taking its own sweet time to process the rebates and not honoring their written committment...:scared-3:

To update everyone, my agent has called wing tai few weeks back and when we asked them about the rebate, they say they did not receive our scan NRIC so cannot process the rebate. If we don't call them, we dont even know we need to submit the scanned NRIC. I checked the agreement signed for this rebate and it is not mentioned about the scanned nric. It was stated in the agreement that once the 20% downpayment is received together with the stamp duty, a cheque will be issued within 14 days. My stamp duty certificate is issued on 19th Oct. THis is ridiculous. I even send an email to them but they dont even bother to reply after a few email chaser.

Anyone can advise who we can escalate to? This is taking really too long. Thanks.

Wing Tai has started to list down specific unsold units - but there's a repetition for the one-bedders. The % figures are also inconsistent in the columns - 90% vs 80%.

I'm planning to buy 1 unit in Foresque Residences. I would like to know if the bank will deduct the rebate that we get from the developer from your home loan?

Hi ensure78,

You will be required to declare to the bank upfront that you are receiving the 3% stamp duty rebate + 5% ABSD/cash incentive. Using the side-letters issued by the developer.

This 8% will be deducted to determine the maximum allowable home loan that the bank will grant to you.

So you will effectively be required to fork out slightly more cash upfront, before receiving the rebates from the developer in due course.

Hope this helps!

URA caveats shows total 400 sold till January. That means 96 unsold (out of 496)

Foresque marketing site shows 43 available for sale. (1BR-5, 2BR-7, 4BR-6, Cabana-14, Penthouse-11).

By deduction, it seems that 53 have been sold from the last caveat to date of updating of Foresque site.

Anyway, out os 43 unsold, 31 are 4BR, Cabana and Penthouse. Bros who are already vested should not be too worried on 8%(discount)+3% (Stamp duty) +5% (ABSD rebate) being offered by the developer to clear these big/expensive (total quantum) units. Once pending 12 small units (1BR, 2 BR) are sold, there will not be competing units from developer.

Looking at the caveats, Jan sales were at psf of 948 (2099sf), 1172 (1184sf), 1299 (1421sf) and 1359 (749sf). One may also safely assume that they may not be best located units.

Looking at the development, one may expect TOP in first quarter of 2014 - that is just one year away.

I get a feeling, amonst 3 (EcoForesTree), Foresque may be the most sought after project in future, considering the location and facilities.

Look forward to happy stay in Foresque... Good luck!!

Based on Developer site, only 36 units remain unsold as mentioned by Sunrise. Some further details and analysis:

Unsold units consist of:

1 BR - 2 (down from 5 earlier)
2 BR - 4 (down from 7 earlier)
Total small units - 6 (down from 12 earlier)

4 BR - 5 (down from 6 earlier)
Cabana - 14 (no change)
Penthouse - 11 - no change
Total big units - 30 (down from 31 earlier)

So, small units are moving and once remaining 6 are sold, no more pressure on prices on these units by way of discounts from the developer. Big units will take time to clear and will keep the pressure on the big size units.

Below are the range of net prices that the developer is offering:

1BR - S$647k. 463sf or psf of 1397
2BR - S$913k. 667-743sf or psf of 1228-1378 depending upon which size units are unsold.

4BR - 1.65m. 1399-1432sf or psf of 1150-1179 depending upon unit
Cabana/Penthouses - 1.45m - 2.12m, psfs of 750-1300. Difficult to analyse as the area utilisations very different.

My takeaway - if you are holding units upto sizes of 3BRs, prices are holding around 1400 for 1BR, 1300 for 2 BR and 1200 for 3 BR and are unlikely to get pressure from Developers discounts being given.



URA caveats shows total 400 sold till January. That means 96 unsold (out of 496)

Foresque marketing site shows 43 available for sale. (1BR-5, 2BR-7, 4BR-6, Cabana-14, Penthouse-11).

By deduction, it seems that 53 have been sold from the last caveat to date of updating of Foresque site.

Anyway, out os 43 unsold, 31 are 4BR, Cabana and Penthouse. Bros who are already vested should not be too worried on 8%(discount)+3% (Stamp duty) +5% (ABSD rebate) being offered by the developer to clear these big/expensive (total quantum) units. Once pending 12 small units (1BR, 2 BR) are sold, there will not be competing units from developer.

Looking at the caveats, Jan sales were at psf of 948 (2099sf), 1172 (1184sf), 1299 (1421sf) and 1359 (749sf). One may also safely assume that they may not be best located units.

Looking at the development, one may expect TOP in first quarter of 2014 - that is just one year away.

I get a feeling, amonst 3 (EcoForesTree), Foresque may be the most sought after project in future, considering the location and facilities.

Look forward to happy stay in Foresque... Good luck!!

Trying to arrive at PSFs for big units also. Comes to:

Cabana 3BR,3+S: 1160-1311 psf (1.76-2.4m for 1518-1830 sf).

Penthouse 2BR - 1043-1295 psf (1.45m for 1119 or 1389 sf)
Penthouse 3+S: 916-941 psf (2.2m for2336 or 2400 sf)



Based on Developer site, only 36 units remain unsold as mentioned by Sunrise. Some further details and analysis:

Unsold units consist of:

1 BR - 2 (down from 5 earlier)
2 BR - 4 (down from 7 earlier)
Total small units - 6 (down from 12 earlier)

4 BR - 5 (down from 6 earlier)
Cabana - 14 (no change)
Penthouse - 11 - no change
Total big units - 30 (down from 31 earlier)

So, small units are moving and once remaining 6 are sold, no more pressure on prices on these units by way of discounts from the developer. Big units will take time to clear and will keep the pressure on the big size units.

Hi all,

very new to this forum.

1 - Won't the psf be lower since these prices are inclsive of the discount. Or am i incorrect?

2 - The total number im seeing as left over on the website is 22? Basing on the individual breakdowns for the Cabana (11 units) + 4BR (5 units) + 2BR (4 units) + 2BR (2 units).

I think the agents owns the website and not the developer themselves.

Ha.. My lawyer has asked me to pay the next 10% of the progress of my unit today. How long would the next payment for the 5% be?

Thanks all for the advise:)

I have taken the NET prices as being advertised by developer. Hence the price are after adjusting discounts.

I dont see penhouses in your list. Seems the list is not complete. Probably the agent has given up on penthouses. Kidding.

Payments are linked to respective units progress and therefore the timinngs are different for different units depending upon block and the floor.

Yesterday, I drove by to check on the construction progress, and noticed that there is some construction activity going on in the empty land (sandwiched between the showflat and the heavy vehicle carpark).

Seems like land clearing and building a 2-storey temp structure. Any one can shed light on this?

The developers must 'play safe' when come to displaying the TOP date. Usually, they will advertise and show the TOP date as the latest allowable date permissable under the law.

You mentioned that Foresque construction to complete on 10 Oct 2013, where did you get this information?? My guess is mid 2014.

It could be that structure construction is scheduled to be completed in Oct but fittings to and landscaping thereafter, so TOP will should be ~6 month after that.

Another 8 units sold. 28 still to go.

All 6 small units gone. 4br down by 2 to 3. No movements for cabana 14 units and penthouses 11 units.

They kind of got stuck witb cabana and penhouses. Wouldnt be surprised and worried if they increase discounts further to clear these 25 Umits.
