3/4 br condo $1180 psf
Townhouse $1000 psf

.. is this after discount?
I thought suites are facing PIE..
My instinct was this gonna be like seastrand .. 1 bedder cheaper cause faces roads..sacrificial blocks..

The name may not be liked by all, especially with the problems being experienced by countries in the european union. (EU) :p

Back from the showroom..prices are much better than recent launch..even better than seastranded...:D

Couldn't make up my mind..almost bought 1 bedder - 950 psf..:ashamed1:

Think Road noise will certainly be issue for this development..especially units closer to PIE

As this is sunken land..its better to buy the lower floor? or higher floors? WOuld make any difference to noise level?

Yupp 9xx psf after discount.. Still better than seastrand as quantum is even lower cause starts from arnd 550sqft.. and location much closer to city..


530K is quite a small quantum...Many people can buy for investment.. but then again MM market is getting crowded...can find renters?:confused:

MM might see really bad days in coming days..especially who paid big premium for getting MM :doh:

If look at recent launches MM premium is becoming less and less..:cheers1:

Actually don't like much for this devlopment..:o ...but think its cheaper compared to resale/recent launch and smaller quantum...more of a hedge for inflation before I decide to invest any bigger quantum in SG.

Tell me about beside PIE, I am staying beside PIE now in Savannah.
Actually, noise is not an issue beside the PIE, it's the exhaust that will eventually settle down in the open back yard, not so much in the house.

I guess the search goes on for my next home.

I stay in a landed and it is really quiet. Noise is a radial source and as you move from 0deg (ground level) and move to 30deg. you should be able to hear an increase in noise level as there are no obstruction in front of you. That is why I say the NIN, the new condo along upper serangoon road helps to shield off the traffic noise towards the happier residents staying in the landed properties at sennett estate. Residents at NIN and W28 with units facing the roads will be unhappy.

Low floor units found noise lower mainly because the trees shielded away some noise whereas those mid floors just above top of trees are the noisiest. As noise travel further, the signal strength dettenuates & hence noise level will be lower as you go higher. The common saying about noise increase as you go higher is a misconception as though noise don't follow physics theory? :doh:

It depends on the temperate.
In buildings nowadays, usually the higher floors are warmer than the lower floors. The air molecules are more active when temperate is higher. Therefore, sound travels faster when temperature is higher.

teddybear
01-08-11, 23:02
Regardless of 10m or 20m, as long as there is no obstruction, noise heard at 20m will always be lower than 10m. That is basic physics theory. All those so-called experience are not scientific proof. There was a study conducted in HK that already confirmed that noise increase as you go higher is a myth. :beats-me-man:

Interesting study. Summary for the benefits of all here:

Existing studies show traffic-generated PM2.5/NO2 are readily inhalable and can penetrate deep into the cardiovascular and respiratory system and cause ill health. Their physical and chemical properties have a strong association with most types of respiratory illness and even mortality.

Investigation of the vertical distribution profile of traffic-generated fine particulate matter/NO2 in the residential buildings of urban area shows that:

Generally, traffic-generated PM2.5 concentrations measured showed that the daily mean outdoor PM2.5 mass/number concentration of a building was highest at its mid floors (6-9th floors) when compared to those measured at low and high floors of the building. The low floor of the building had the second highest mass/number concentration whilst its high floor had the least mass/number concentration level.

The shape of the weekly mean indoor and outdoor vertical distribution profile of NO2 concentration in a building resembled that of a ‘bell curve’ with its abscissa in the vertical direction. Generally, the weekly mean indoor and outdoor peak concentration of NO2 generally occurred just above the tree tops i.e. about 2 - 3 storeys. Residents living at these floors could be exposed to a higher concentration of traffic- generated NO2. Statistical results showed there was a fairly good positive correlation between NO2 concentration and PM2.5 number concentration at the floor where NO2 concentration was measured the highest. The results indicate NO2 can be used as a surrogate indicator for traffic-generated PM2.5 mass/number concentration. The I/O ratio of NO2 concentration in a building was less than unity. The results indicated the transport of NO2 was from outdoors to indoors rather than from internal sources. The main outdoor source of NO2 is from the nearby traffic.

Trees help to intercept traffic-generated PM2.5/NO2 or modify the airflow patterns flowing towards the building resulting in highest concentration of PM2.5/NO2 to occur just above the tree tops i.e. about 1 - 3 storeys above the tree tops.

It was found that in a slab block (a long block with many units) design, the mass/number concentration of PM2.5/NO2 concentration was much higher than that of the point block (a squarish block typically with 4 units) at the corresponding floors. Comparatively, a point block configuration is much better than that of a slab block in terms of potential respiratory health risk problems.

In buildings nowadays, usually the higher floors are warmer than the lower floors. The air molecules are more active when temperate is higher. Therefore, sound travels faster when temperature is higher.

First of all, why are higher floors warmer? What logic is this?

Even if it is warmer and hence sound travels faster, what has it got to do with its amplitude? Why should it be louder?

ecimbew
01-08-11, 23:57
The report also indicates lower temperature and higher wind speed at higher floor. Only blocks less than 30 m from expressways were selected. Most of the blocks in this study are 20 m away. They are also naturally ventilated - not air-condition. The point blocks refer to buildings of 4 units per floor configuration and are at least 20-storey, 2.8 m ceiling height.

This study is interesting. It concludes one thing: get higher floors. With Singapore's traffic condition, it doesn't matter if you stay near expressway or a major road. To be kiasu, place tall plants with lots of leaves around your balcony.


Interesting study. Summary for the benefits of all here:

Existing studies show traffic-generated PM2.5/NO2 are readily inhalable and can penetrate deep into the cardiovascular and respiratory system and cause ill health. Their physical and chemical properties have a strong association with most types of respiratory illness and even mortality.

Investigation of the vertical distribution profile of traffic-generated fine particulate matter/NO2 in the residential buildings of urban area shows that:

Generally, traffic-generated PM2.5 concentrations measured showed that the daily mean outdoor PM2.5 mass/number concentration of a building was highest at its mid floors (6-9th floors) when compared to those measured at low and high floors of the building. The low floor of the building had the second highest mass/number concentration whilst its high floor had the least mass/number concentration level.

The shape of the weekly mean indoor and outdoor vertical distribution profile of NO2 concentration in a building resembled that of a ‘bell curve’ with its abscissa in the vertical direction. Generally, the weekly mean indoor and outdoor peak concentration of NO2 generally occurred just above the tree tops i.e. about 2 - 3 storeys. Residents living at these floors could be exposed to a higher concentration of traffic- generated NO2. Statistical results showed there was a fairly good positive correlation between NO2 concentration and PM2.5 number concentration at the floor where NO2 concentration was measured the highest. The results indicate NO2 can be used as a surrogate indicator for traffic-generated PM2.5 mass/number concentration. The I/O ratio of NO2 concentration in a building was less than unity. The results indicated the transport of NO2 was from outdoors to indoors rather than from internal sources. The main outdoor source of NO2 is from the nearby traffic.

Trees help to intercept traffic-generated PM2.5/NO2 or modify the airflow patterns flowing towards the building resulting in highest concentration of PM2.5/NO2 to occur just above the tree tops i.e. about 1 - 3 storeys above the tree tops.

It was found that in a slab block (a long block with many units) design, the mass/number concentration of PM2.5/NO2 concentration was much higher than that of the point block (a squarish block typically with 4 units) at the corresponding floors. Comparatively, a point block configuration is much better than that of a slab block in terms of potential respiratory health risk problems.

Sound travels through a medium like air, water, steel, concrete, etc. Without a medium, like in a vacuum, sound cannot travel. The intensity depends on the density of the medium. Air is less dense than water and steel, hence, it travels slower. Density of air is lesser when you are on higher ground compared to at ground level. Sound can also be reflected - in a densely populated country, sound bounds off surfaces quicker than less dense areas. So sound will still reach you but it's a matter of when and how loud.

So if you don't want sound to reach you, create a vacuum. Seal your windows and doors. Pump out air from your sealed room. Put on an oxygen mask. Breathe

Telok Kurau is on the other side of PIE. The road towards the new downtown line from Telok Kurau is not exactly covered or near. Moreover, Telok Kuaru has the East West line.

FAR East Organization group is said to have sold over 150 units at euHabitat, a 99-year leasehold private residential project at Jalan Eunos.

It began previewing the five-storey project last week and is understood to have released over 200 of the project's total 748 units so far. The development includes 51 four-bedroom townhouses, 233 one- and two-bedroom Soho-styled units, and 160 one-bedroom suites. The remaining units are one to four-bedroom apartments.
The suites are in separate towers from the apartments.
The average prices in the development range from about $800 psf to slightly over $1,000 psf - depending on the housing form.
Far East is developing euHabitat on a site next to Pan Island Expressway clinched by the group's units Tuas Technology Park and OPH Marymount at a state tender in September last year, for $414.57 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr). They paid 26.5 per cent more than the next highest offer of $327.76 psf ppr. The tender drew five bids.

I agree with you on this, with the exception of something to shield the noise, the lower you are, the louder the traffic noise, noise is energy and the further away from the source, the weaker the energy waves. Simple physics.

But Far East Organization is one developer that is bucking the trend. It launched 306 units at its euHabitat development last Tuesday. Since then, 181 units have been sold. The project, located at Jalan Eunos, offers a total of 748 units with prices in the range of around $869 per square foot for a 3,380 sq ft townhouse.
Commenting on this, Mr Ong Kah Seng, Cushman and Wakefield's senior manager of Asia-Pacific research, said despite the market's cautious sentiment, unique projects like euHabitat might see buyer interest because they appeal to a broad range of buyers by offering various housing types in the same development.

Sound is not the issue in the NUS study. It is the vehicular exhaust in the form of ultra-fine particulate that can go pass our nostril hair that filter off only particulate size that is 10 micron and larger. The finer ones will trap in our trachea and lungs which will lead to chronic illness.
Sound travels through a medium like air, water, steel, concrete, etc. Without a medium, like in a vacuum, sound cannot travel. The intensity depends on the density of the medium.

Important findings from the study:
a. Do not stay near expressways or major roads.
b. If there is no choice, do not stay on floors just above the tree-top as air laden traffic pollutant can helps to deflect upwards and into the apartments.
c. Units on ground floor can also be exposed to higher level of PM2.5 if there are no bushes/hedges as the vehicles moving on the road do displace the air laden with pollutants towards the apartments.
d. Household with young sensative children or elderly should not stay near expressway or major roads as they are more prone to them and can aggravate their asthma.
The report also indicates lower temperature and higher wind speed at higher floor. Only blocks less than 30 m from expressways were selected. Most of the blocks in this study are 20 m away. They are also naturally ventilated - not air-condition. The point blocks refer to buildings of 4 units per floor configuration and are at least 20-storey, 2.8 m ceiling height.

181 units of euHabitat sold during preview
Development reflective of a new urban milieu attracts with prime locational value and a unique blend of social and private spaces



Singapore, 2 August 2011 – Far East Organization ("









远东机构") has sold 181 units from a preview of its latest residential development, euHabitat.
euHabitat, sited on Jalan Eunos, presents a holistic live-work-play environment with a unique composition of four styles of housing options in one contemporary community – one bedroom suites, SOHO-style apartments, condominium apartments and townhouses. Prices start from $541,000 for one-bedroom suites (538 sqft), $593,000 for a one-bedroom SOHO-style apartment (517 sqft), $918,000 for a two-bedroom condominium apartment (1,012 sqft) and $2.94mil for townhouses (3,380 sqft).
Far East Organization’s Chief Operating Officer, Property Sales, Mr Chia Boon Kuah (









谢文华), said "We are happy with the strong take-up during the preview. euHabitat has appealed to the market with its first-of-its-kind clustering of different housing styles each with its own distinctive character to match varying lifestyle aspirations. euHabitat enjoys a prime location in an area that is rapidly transforming. "

Close to 70 per cent of buyers were Singaporeans and permanent residents. 52 one-bedroom suites have been sold. The one- and two-bedroom SOHO units have also garnered similar strong interest with 39 units sold. Other units sold include one-bedroom apartments (20 units), two-bedroom apartments (34 units), three-bedroom apartments (25 units), and townhouses (11 units).

"With the strong interest that we continue to see at euHabitat, we will be bringing forward the official launch of the development to 19 August," added Mr Chia.

My friend and I both bought a 1 bedroom suite each few days back at around 1000 psf.

Just sold my 1 bedroom studio late last year (small development at joo chiat) above 1100psf and reinvested in this big development project. Bought slightly below 1000psf in early 2008. Thought i made a mistake when buying that unit before lehman brother crisis, But still can make small profit of close to 200 psf after holding for 2.5 years. (to date, that unit was re- transacted to around 1250psf. )

Think can reinvest in studio if price is discounted to around 1000psf around this location.

I was offer 2500 rental ( close to 5% yield) before I sold it off last year. Actually I was a bit regret selling it off. ( I would not have struck a couple of hundred k in stock market if I did'nt liquidate it.) Carefully think over, put money back into property is still a better choice. That is why I reinvest recently when the quantum of investment drop below my previous holding (buying price ) of the studio unit.

The take up is quite good with many units sold, some towers sold out. Even the townhouse that cost a bomb (around 3 mil), more than 10 have been sold. They have released new towers for selection.

The discounts have also dropped with no more FV given. Heard from the agent when official launch the discounts may drop further.

Nope, it was national day offer. Valid to 3 customers only. Happen to be there when they announced the 2% FV, so grabbed it.

Yeah, bought the Soho without seeing showflat. The manager told me they were making some changes to the upper deck (bigger).

Took a look at the soho unit yesterday. I didn't see it when I was there to purchase the 1 bdrm suites weeks ago. The soho looks nice especially the high ceiling. The upper deck is still under renovation. I think should be good to buy for investment.

Went down yesterday. Can't believe the townhouses are so popular. majority of those launched were sold. About $1000 psf which works out to be $3.1 to $3.2 m. Wonder who are those who bought? Local or foreigner? If local, I wonder why spend that kind of money on 99 LH?

Indicative for a 450sqft ranging around 600k+. look like EUHABITAT is more worth while in term of psf. But of course they are at different location.

If the take up is good, then they will tender out the contract to start construction work. Or else will just delay for awhile more. But looking at this project, should be quite soon. :D

Thompson has poor ingress and egress whereas this location has the option of KPE, PIE directly at its doorsteps, Bartley flyover and ECP a little further down.

Well, at least i think it's an attraction for me seeing how i have been living in the East for the past 10+ years. With the north , central north area, you're at the mercy of the jam that's usually take place over at the CTE.

Don't really think the noise from the traffic will be much of an issue. Maybe the ones facing the PIE towards the clubhouse end (end of slip road joining PIE) of the development may suffer a little. I guess that's why they have the clubhouse and tennis courts towards that end.

KPE and ECP never jam to PIE/CTE levels unless stupid plants pruning is under going. These expressways are just better built hence less accidents. That's why living in the east rocks when it comes to accessibility.

With 350 sold out of 748 units as of today, it is reasonable to expect 50% sold by this weekend, which is the timeframe for discount reduction. It also means that they are close to their breakeven point. From then on, FEO can slowly sell, so don't expect a price crash here.

Does anyone know which are the new towers that are released? What are the prevailing discount(s) now?

Thanks for the summary. Last heard from my agent last thu (25 aug). Discount was 12+3% only. No vicinity discount. Regards.

I remember an agent saying such things are subject to BCA's approval. It depends on the material used to build this raised platform and the size.

I do hope the developer has taken into consideration the gross floor area and the load it can take too.

You can maintain $1 also can.

Bascially how it works is :

If you have $10,000 inside, 2/3 of this $10,000 will have the same interest as what the bank is charging you for your mortgage. The remaining will have the usual bank interest rate. Effectively, you'll incur less interest as it's setoff at the same rate.

The max amount you can have in the bank to enjoy this is the loan amount. Ie, if your loan amount is $1,000,000 , you can have maximum $1,500,000 in this account. Also means, if you have $1,500,000 in this account, there is no interest to be paid by you for the entire duration you have the mortgage. Of course, as the principle amount goes down, the maximum amount will go down accordingly.

Why not take up stand chart? 1mth sibor is always lower than 3mth sibor (approx 0.1+%), and stand chart is 1mth +0.55 for first 2 yrs, + 0.65 for 3rd, end of 3rd year, just do the conversion.

If you are lazy to do a conversion or refinancing in the future, there's DBS which is 3mth sibor + 0.55 for 3 yrs and 3mth + 0.65 thereafter. +0.65 seems like a good rate to have for the entire duration of the loan.

No idea with regards to your first question, but 1 lift for a 5 storey tower is fine i guess. Although i'm not too overly concerned since i'm on the ground floor.

I wonder why Indians will buy properties in Singapore when the properties there are also appreciating.

In India, there is a worry of property bubble because interest rates are extremely high. Maybe to diversify the risk...

Isn't interest rate high less likely to have bubble as opposed to Singapore's low interest rate?

The interest rates can go up fast in India. Those who borrow heavily will find themselves caught with heavy loans, and new buyers will be deterred.

In Singapore, the rates are almost guaranteed to be low and stable for the next 2 years, and probably for a few more years thereafther if the US economy doesn't recover. If US economy recovers, Singapore economy and property prices will also rebound and it will be time to sell for capital gain.

My Indian colleagues are not investing more properties in India, but instead bought some in Singapore and other Asia countries.
