Estuary is a going to TOP project. Cannot use it to compare.

4 figures for 1 bedder, probably.

if priced higher than estuary sub-sale believe will push estuary price higher. if priced lower skies will sell fast. :D
if priced higher than estuary sub-sale believe will push estuary price higher. if priced lower skies will sell fast. :D
The median psf should be higher than Estuary by looking at recent land bid prices islandwide. No longer look ulu as HDB going to develope Yishun N5.
No competition in the vicinity as MR is almost sold out. If there is GLS in 1Q13, it will take another 6 to 9 months to launch.

wonder what is wrong with these remaining units which seems rather hard to sell. anymore penthouse among them?:confused:

Unlike punggol or pasir ris, no competition to sell in the foreseeable future. Developer can take their time to sell. With the influx of Chinese Developers, it is much harder to get land. MM high flr unit might go for $1.1kpsf to $1.2kpsf. Over $550k quantum. Still sellable.

Wow saw some ads selling 1000sq feet 3 bedroom for million over ...so ex...
Thought of buying one small for investment.. Must reconsider, since I need to fork out 40% payment- at least 400k

Huh? 3 BR you considered small investment?
MR is a good buy at $850+ psf. EC now $750 - $800+ psf liao.
I am speculatiing that the next LTA planning mrt line will be NCL.
1. Yishun population will increase another 25% with BTO in N3, N4 & "totally new" N5.
2. Seletar Aerohub (main)
3. Punggol (BTO & pte)
4. Pasir Ris (mainly pte)
5. CIA
These are the places that NCL will run. Connecting north to the norheast & far East, but that will happen after 1 of the existing constructing line has been completed.

2 bedder more to my budget....but 1000 psf..payback period long
Also I need to put 40% down in cash...budget 300k for down....maybe I will get better return elsewhere or other instrument...wait for the crash

MR's buyers can reap immediate return
SM buyers will have to take a longer term view
Current price is close to lower scale property in CR and mainstream in OCR
Yishun is suburbia...SM price is fueled by bubble, pent up demand from people who miss MR, wrongly comparison to HDB prices sold in CR and hard selling by agent
When it TOP, i fear the return will not be significant or if there is an adjustment, there will be paper loses, especially in term of rental yield
In long run, the SM investment should be ok...long run

5.3m according to their architecture blueprints. standard heights would be around 3.1-3.5m for ground floor units i guess.

Bought MR due to its serenity (& of coz aerospace).
I believe my MR home will be windy (too) due to the fact that the surrounding of is not blocked by any highrise bldg.

True. Better than nothing. Few months already. Bcos the size is pretty small, it didn't excite me. Hee....but somethin like Hougang 1 at Buangkok will be nice. Not walking distant but drive is abt 3-5mins. Straight road and a turn will reach there from MR. :D
Is in the masterplan 2008, but a slight change in location ("flip it over to the corner")

yes, reading the other post on solar film, i was thinking other fellow MR owners need to come together to get a range of film approved for fitting before TOP.

Based on your following schedule, we are going to start paying for the next 10% soon (Nov) ?
Anybody got updates on the construction?
I have the estimated payment schedule below
1) Completion of Foundation work (10%) - May 2012
2) Completion of Reinforced concrete framework (10%) - Nov 2012
3) Completion of brick walls (5%) - Mar 13
4) Completion of ceiling (5%) - May 2013
5) Completion upon door/window frames/electrical wiring/plumbing/internal plastering (5%) - Oct 2013
6) Completion of carpark, roads and drains serving the project - Feb 2014
Looks like TOP 2nd Q 2014
Based on your following schedule, we are going to start paying for the next 10% soon (Nov) ?
it all depends on your stack, if you look at the progress, it is rather uneven, i believe structural work on the blks facing the road is not even started.

I started servicing the loan for 1st 10% from May 2012 (same time as you).
So I guess 2nd 10% should be similar to yours (Nov 2012)... Just guessing...

Hi aang1971, is there a reference material to obtain the ceiling height? I wasn't told by the agent/developer about the height. The only information I had was the height of the units near the road will be higher than those from the 5 story stacks. My unit is a PES unit.

which stack is ur unit?? To my knowledge, all ground floor units at stack 1-8and 53-66 have high ceilings of 5.3m. i requested to view the developer's blue print to confirm this before my purchase. The other ground floor units should be ur typical condo ground unit heights ranging from 3.1-3.5m

Base on the payment schedule the date of may 2014 sounds about right. No developer will commit themselves legally though.

The progress is very slow.
When this is up, next door is still under construction.
When next door is up, the future plots are under construction.
Anybody received their letter to pay next 10%?
I do hope the developer is not the type to say hey let us collect 20% one short in March...not sure it is a good or bad thing

if there are more "next doors" and future plots, it means GLS continues, land price continues northwards, you getting higher paper gain for your unit. i suppose, happy problem to have.

Hi neighbours :)
Anyone here planning to do their own flooring and tried asking the developer not to lay their tiles? I emailed them but they gave me a bureaucratic reply about not being able to make such exceptions (although it would save them time and money). Also, any clue if the balcony will be full glass as shown in the ads/models? The detailed brochure mentions "glass with metal railing and / or metal railing / or metal railing with partial reinforced concrete parapet wall". I hope its full glass :scared-5:

I think you should try talking to them instead.
Why pay another cost to remove flooring when you can arrange it not to be done since it's still early?

Tried that and their lawyer said no
Hmmm...so what's your plan? No choice but to let them lay then hack off?
Any idea about how the balcony will eventually turn out? I hope they don't give us metal railings ...

Leave it alone, else may affect warranty defect claim
No warranty defect to claim if already hacked off, unless you are saying it may affect warranty claim on other parts of house...but then again, everyone renovates so they cant possibly use that excuse right?

doesnt sound optimistic
Hi, Is it possible to try to talk to developer and pay extra to developer instead and ask if they could help you with the flooring, maybe the warranty will not be void.
I think that has been tried before...usually doesn't work in many cases :(
I thought asking them not to lay is already the most convenient way for them ... sigh
Thought of doing timber flooring :)
even if they don't do the laminated flooring the depth will not be enough for timber flooring. so may still have to heck anyway:D
I was looking at timber for the living/dining tiles, not the bedroom laminated area, so may not need to hack if they dont lay
Hi
Anybody already discussing and getting codes from ID/Contractor?
Anybody got any one which they like to recommend?
Is it too early to start the process? Hard to do much when we do not even have a detailed floor plan with measurements etc.
anyone has pics on the latest construction progress? for the record, I absolutely love this development ... was not eyeing anything else :)

I went to see some ID wife was wondering I was serious with some and aloof with others.
The some happen to be hot chicks with sexy dressing and was aloof with guy ID.
I am just wondering if anyone started. Most tell me never too early to book
well, lets hope they do a good job since the Peak had complaints, they better not have a second round of complaints haha

nope, nothing yet. and if i am not mistaken, sibor has risen by a little bit (as reflected on straits times money section), have not received the letter to increase the deductions too.
Has anyone received the other 10% as of now? Delayed for two months, normal? I was told nov would be the next 10, nothing from bank nor developers lawyers.
How many percent you paid so far? Mine 45% (left with 5+5+5+25+15%)

Dunno how you guys define the %. For me, other than the 20% paid during order placement, the bank has only released 10% payment to developer.
Does that means, I have 'paid' 30% ?
Yup...means yours paid 20+10 = 30%.
Mine the entire structure appears to be up already.

Have not been visiting the site, but have been told by lawyers I may need to pay the next 5% soon ...
Been busy following the land use issue - OCC lease will run out in 2023; wondering what will happen after that?
Greenery is ensured until then. Since its nxt to the reservoir n green space, dont tink plot ratio of land use will defer from miltonia residence. To the north would be more development of condos up to yishun dam. To the west of the dam till yishun ite, the construction of roads n industrial space is in line wif the expansion of north south expressway n the road map of northern commercial hub. I'm guessing simpang would be a reality for the finale of the these plans.
As for OCC's future land use, i'm betting that the area near to the water body be converted to an extension of the park down south near estuary n linking to park connectors to mandai. Northwards may link up PCN to northern seletar to coney islands/ponggol. Rest of occ will become green space/small commercial area/low rise condo.
OCC area shows as reserve site in the new plan - hopefully it is left green. Papers mentioned today that OCC and other golf courses might get their lease extended since they front reservoirs. Hopefully not low-rise condos blocking our view! But I guess I don't mind if the area is turned into retail/recreation space like East Coast .... in any case, it will hopefully be status quo for next 10-20yrs :)
And yes...there will be a narrow park connector along the reservoir front
Hi
I cannot find the amendments for the OCC. Anyone can point it out to me?
http://www.ura.gov.sg/dc/mp2008/mp08_body_app.html
The closest one is here -> http://www.mnd.gov.sg/landuseplan/
Click for the table summarising the proposed land uses and planned supply.
Beyond 2030, we will still have room for growth through further land reclamation. There will also be opportunities to further optimise and redevelop our land. For example, we can look forward to the development of new growth corridors both in the north (from Woodlands to Punggol) and in the south (from Tanjong Pagar to Pasir Panjang Terminal). Over the long term, the way we live, work and play will continue to evolve, and we will continue to exploit technology and implement innovative solutions to further optimise our land uses.
The map below illustrates the likely profile of Singapore and possible land use allocation beyond 2030. It shows the scope for additional land reclamation, if needed. These reclaimed land parcels, including the land currently zoned as ‘reserve', could be used for housing, industry and other uses. In addition, the map indicates how we can potentially recycle our land for other uses in the future. We will refine these plans as our population needs and land use requirements evolve.

Miltonia - Yes, no further information on OCC and land use besides what was listed in the website you mentioned. My property agent friend said golf courses are also listed under reserve sites, and that OCC is unlikely to become something else. I think some analysts also said the same in papers, as OCC is by a reservoir :)
Aang - I paid 45% already, heard that next 5% (for ceiling/roof) coming anytime now.
I also sent in request not to lay my living/dining and balcony tiles. Hopefully developer will say yes.

However as i am in initial phrase, i just looking for xiao mei mei to talk to...my wife furthermore felt it is easier for her to engage them
If anyone got anyone to recommend, just post here...I am sure they will be thankful
Yes, developer is very sticky. Let us know if anyone managed to secure approval to lay own tiles/marble/granite.
i suspect they will reject all "special request". I guess the purpose is to speed up the project at the last stage of the construction..

Yes the ID can estimate with 80% accuracy, even to work out a quote and design for you.
Floor plan will be given when you take key...it is when the ID will go with you to the house, take physical measurement, note the differance with floorplan and give you a finalised quote

Try looking at secondcharm.net for unique stuff.
They specialize mainly in vintage furniture but they can custom-make bespoke pieces for you too. Can even draw your own design for them to make. Not cheap, but solid teak. Happy with the few pieces I bought. Must look at the website to see if their style suits you though.

Anyway, as expected, they turned down my request not to lay the tiles in dining/living and balcony submitted through my lawyers. I guess no choice but to let them lay then hack...
This development got a lot of green initatives, looking at the material used.
I think the two block of building facing the road is not up yet....no wonder it look so airy
My friend betting with me her Nautical will TOP before MR...if that is the case, either one is very fast or the other one super slow haha

Got this piece of news.
To help in completion of the project, the developer is inviting buyers to pitch in and help build.
This is in line with PAP asking Singaporean to help ourself rather than relying on the government.
So what if we paid million over for the condo.
The government are drawing multi million dollars and yet still ask us not to rely on them
Viewed from orchid country club and at least one block facing the golf course is roofed up with the cladding removed. Top in 1 year should be reasonable since they are more than 50 percent done within 1 year.

Yes, mine B2 as well, and planning to put dining table in balcony. Then convert the indoor dining area into a study cove plus wardrobe for storage. I intend to lay timber flooring indoor as well as for balcony.
Similar idea (except the timber flooring)... :)
Yeah the units at MR has huge balcony.
Help developer save cost.
Can share how to put dining table? Will rain and sun affect the durability of the set?

I hv no intention to turn on aircon during makan time.
My guess is that the place is serene. Should enjoy the nature & peace.
Hope i am not wrong ... :D

The other way is to turn the table so that can accommodate a bigger table...hopefully balcony is big enough to take a 6-seater table.
Install rattan or outdoor blinds to prevent sun and rain.
But I really hope they give us glass railing balcony as shown in showflat leh...not metal grills!
I do not stay @ D27. Purposely drove to MR last Friday around 5pm+, to check the progress.
Traffic already started to be heavy (Yishun Ave 1) around that time.
With so many condos development around that area, I wonder how much better the traffic can get (after the new roads are built)? :scared-4:
i stay there and use the roads every day. have already written to LTA, haven't written to ah lui yet. LTA gave me stnd answer that looking into it, blah blah blah. expect this area to become another punggol road type and another 3-4 years after TOP before the roads are widened/junctions expanded.
Was at OCC for lunch. View from driving range shows first row already painted.
The row facing road as well as stack 34 n 35 starting to build, but 3 months late.
Err the rubbish chute seems complted and painted??

The sub station is about 4 storey high. Sub station wall is going to be the only view for stack 67.

Seems like the so called 'golf course view' is actually driving range view.

Thanks for the updated pics, Drummerboy. Seems progress is slow. Doubt MR can TOP in mid 2014.

Normally, actual TOP is earlier than legal TOP by about one year (i.e., end 2014). If can TOP even earlier is like a bonus. Are you all stayers or investors? I'm a stayer :)
