View Full Version : NV Residences (D18, 99 years leasehold, Hong Realty Pte Ltd - CDL & Hong Leong)
Hi all,
I bought a 2 bedrooms in NV for rental and investment. Hope to see you all soon once it is TOP :)
They have already started painting stack 83.
Is white. Guess is the first layer. So fast:scared-4:
Just suddenly occurred to me that NV is supposed to be meaning Envy.... Am i slow or wat....
The progress seem to be quite fast. Guess by end of March, most of the blocks be white with all windows fitted :D

2012 is another busy year!
Livia took about 27 months to complete like wise NV should complete early 2Q of 2013. CDL is using dry walls and most of the parts are being assembled on site.

2Q 2013 is a more realistic date but if the admin/distribution of keys etc is more efficient, then 1Q 2013 is possible. :D
Had a quick eyeball of the construction this morning. The slower blocks (95 and 99) are appx 8th storey. So I think all the blocks should reach the top floor latest by end Mar 2012. I think they are doing a lot of // processing...so very likely everything can be completed by end 2012. Q1 2013 will be for them to rectify the defects/touch-up/submit paperwork for TOP etc. Q2 2013 TOP and distribute keys etc.

Visited the site today. Don't think the painting at Blk 83 has started. One thing for sure, 83,85,87,89 has reached the top floor and many heavy equipments have been shifted to the other side. Blk 99 is at 10th floor for the side facing north and 7th floor for the side facing south (highest is 12th floor for this block). So mathematically even the slowest block should be completed by 13th week of 2012 ...and that will be exactly end of Q1 2012.
Just received letter from Bank that they had disbursed another 5%, total 50%. Very happy as we are getting closer to TOP.
The very next day, received another letter from the same bank notified that interest will up from 0.91% to 1.27% (mine is OCBC 3month SOR) :( what a big jump.....
Anyone here had the same fate?

SOR shoot up recently...SIBOR not yet. I am taking board-rate...the one that most people says/thinks is a stupid choice..but its ok :D
SOR is usually most volatile.

LOL...open la...there's quite a lot of activities inside the units...can roughly see the inside already. I think for those that have hit 50% payment milestone, the next 5% and next 5% will take a bit more time (probably 3mths and 4mths).

u guys got the letter so fast. mine is upper floor 3 bedder on stack 87 just received letter yesterday for 5% (from 40% to 45%).
besides, sotidy, how did u get into the site to take a look? everytime i was stopped at the gate so only able to see from outside the site parameter, even nearby livia now can't get a visitor pass to come inside take a look liao. (maybe because it's a dif patrol person) :(

You guys stay in Pasir ris? Thanks for keeping updates.
Hope by March, we are able to see the whole clear & bright picture of NV standing up next to Livia.
Wishing you & your family a happy & properous Lunar New Year!

What is the latest development at NV? Any good news?
FYI. Livia has just recently held a Spring celebration for its residents.
Property seems getting cooler ... looks like prices may come down.

Almost all blocks reached the top. Left one or two blocks almost at the top.
Lots of activities on the ground. Almost cannot see any soil patches left.
So wat do you think?:D
TOP at 7th stage. Already received letter stage 5 completed which
means left 2 stages to go. Already 49% completed. So wat do you think?:D
I am guessing there's chance TOP b4 2013.
GONG XI GONG XI to all NVIANS. Wishing all good health and looking forward to an enjoyable stay in NV. Cheers!

Very good! Thanks for your info. I think by end of Q1 we are able to see a clearer picture. Am I right?
Is it possible to post some pictures of NV?

Property price getting cooler meh? Probably not as hot but doesn't seem to be cooler eitherl...anyway....lots of air con in this forum :D
I think the whole project can be completed around Oct or Nov 2012 but typically still need time for the approval, paperwork etc...so I still think latest Q2 2013 but likely Feb/Mar 2013. But of course if can be Dec 2012 then lagi best!

10% chance TOP Q42012
50% chance TOP Q12013
40% chance TOP Q22013
Basically 95/99 still need about 8 more weeks to reach the top.

Based on the CDL 3rd quarter of 2011, 33.5% was completed and last Quarter of 2011 was 49% completed. Between the 2 quarters, the difference was 15.3%. let say if the average for each quarter this year is 12.75%. It could easily achieve 100% before end of the year. If the average quarter is 15% or higher then it could complete ahead of the CDL's TOP schedule on 2nd quarter 2013. Then the chances of TOP may be end of 2012.

The progress is not going to be proportionate to the time.

Really not proportionate. My Stage 5 is completed! Another 5% paid out. This means my unit is done already 'cause Stage 6 is car parks, roads, drains.
Getting more and more excited. :D

Don't forget, you're paying only on that stage doesn't means all are paying the same stage. I am just working out based on the rate of each quarter on the whole project. Even you pay up to the last 5%. It still cannot TOP. because the others have not paying to this stage yet.

I know. I am just sharing a sample of the payment schedule for people who are wondering what they will experience while they look forward to TOP. I DID NOT say this is what EVERYONE will experience.
For those who have been following my postings will know that I have always emphasize that the last 2 blocks should complete around End Mar 2012. Now with a view that the internals can be completed within 2.5mths after the reinforced concrete wall is up and clubhouse/swimming pool etc will take appx 6mth, the whole thing should by and large appear ready by Oct 2012. The rest will depend on the application for TOP, distribution of keys efficiency which can be as fast as 2mths to as draggy as 6mths.

The construction area near 83 and 85 is quite clean now except for the tower cranes. I think we can see the extension for pasir ris grove road already...
Woh Pian! Received the revised monthly loan payment again.
Instead of every half a year revision as according to loan estimate,
I am receiving the revision every month.:scared-3:
CDL super efficient or got too many workers? Saw the workers new year 2nd day already cheong.
Already almost sold out and made so much why so "gan jeong" spider.
Huat not enough?
What happen to those few unsold units if TOP so fast? 50% discount?? Die die must grab liao :D

You mean CDL asked for disbursement again? If so, yup...I gave a bit of heads-up in my earlier postings. The loan estimate is never going to be accurate la. Progress is kind of BAU...not super fast. If you want to see 'superfast' one, you should look at the latest HDBs...near Punggol and Sengkang along TPE. It took them about 1year+ for the building to reach the top. Appx 1 floor per 1.5 week. Their whole wall panel, including the window frame, are all pre-assembled.
Unsold unit just leave it...there will be takers. 50% discount....maybe in dreams or virtual world lor...wouldn't be that bad.

No lah, earlier was from lawyer informed that CDL asked for disbursement.
Now is the bank that come after me. A kind of lapse. Still 5th stage. But still then I have to go into CPF to adjust every month my instalment. Isnt this consider kind of fast? :confused: Realised CDL use pre-fab unlike my previous condo.
Maybe that's the reason all the 3 projects so far look similar just modified a bit of the exterior. Wonder pre-fab better than conventional:D

Be careful of the lapse...sometimes its not our fault...as their coordination screwed up. I kena once before....anyway that's history. Yes...need to go CPF adjust the instalment after each disbursement.
CDL's builder for this project is Hyundai E&C....there are several pre-fab methods...the pre-fab trend started from around 97....
The latest one used by HDB (i.e. 2011/2012) is really *very very lego style* as even the window frame is prefab into the walls at the factory.
Yes....since all these are pre-fab, the 3 projects are more or less the same...in fact...most projects with building plans approved within a same period (e.g. 2004-2009) are likely to adopt the same kind of building methods.

Have an experience with CDL recently due to some queries. Find them to be very responsive and customer-oriented. Hope to have same experience again during key collection and defects rectifications.

Received letter yesterday. CDL asked another 5% payment from Bank. Of to date, the payments have been more than 50% .:doh: Nearing to TOP stage.

LOL...I passby this morning as well. Blk 99 highest is 12th storey. The North facing side is building 11th storey and the South facing side is building 9th storey. So basically 'everything' should reach the top floor by end-Mar like what I mentioned previously. The area generally is quite 'clean'...can see the road quite clearly....hmm...what else to say...:D

LOL....Everything should be completed by Oct/Nov 11. *IF*...the project is really swee swee no correction + paper work approval swee swee + key distribution swee swee, then there's a 10% mathematical chance of TOP by Dec 12 (very hard la). If can take key before next year's CNY...its very good already...
Not up to the worker to build faster or slower. Everything boils down to $ and c involved in the project.:D
Ok la...just continue to close 2 eyes....time will pass very quickly...
how long have you guys been waiting already ah? i just wonder how patient i need to be to see my palette up :banghead:

My opinion is that since it is about 12 blocks (if I did not remember wrongly) and using the same type of precast method as livia and NV, Palette's TOP will be after Jun 2014. Unlikely to be anything before Jun 2014.

Yoh....3C...is the small building beside blk 99 the bin point/substation? Seems to be quite a distance away from blk 99. The 'spacing' looks quite good or is it my optical illusion. :D

It is the sub-station. They hasnt erect the bin centre. Yes, it loooks quite a distance. The Bin Centre will be slightly nearer to blk 99. No problem for those that bought high floor. Your unit at blk 99?

If you look at "The Minton" and "Waterview" they dont seem to be fully pre-fab type. See the wall at the Minton thread, they even have red bricks layer by layer for certain parts of the walls. Their designs are with very large balconies. CDL at pasir ris seems like fully pre-fab and ended up all planterbox types. This save their cost quite a bit. I like their design at Savaanah in Simei. It would be ideal if the other projects a bit of variation, like low rise type, etc. Otherwise it looks dull when all completed.

Ya...pre-fab has different type. The most ultimate one is the latest at Punggol HDB. Even the window frame is pre-fab into the wall and assembled at site. NV, Livia series of pre-fab is not uncommon. E.g. Woodsville 28 is of almost the same type. 1 planter box at living room, curve window with 1 pillar at the corner. LOL.

Past by just now around 850pm. Blk 99 surrounding was brightly lit up.
Workers were busy working. Other blocks have some lights here & there
probably touching up interior. CDL does not show the interior landscape in their update. FCL give very good aerial view in their quarterly update.
Wonder hows the interior facilities works progress.:cool:

Ya lor...wondering how in the interior...can't really see.
By the way, there was an article regarding pre-fab on the news....couple of days back. Current method abt 2 week per floor. The new method adopted by HDB (supposed to be same as China/HK) is about 6 days per floor --> This is exactly the one I mentioned....even the window frame is precast into the walls at the factory!

hi all..
like to check if any of bros/sis here visited the NV residence showroom when it was still around? How's the interior and material use as compared to The Pallette?
I visited The Pallette showroom past weekend.. kinda like the layout n materials used... but need to wait till 2015/2016 before can get the keys.. which is kinda long to me...
So was thinking if NV is more or less comparable, then may be will consider...
Anyone know if all units have been sold?

1. The showflat has been around since Livia. Yes I visited.
2. In my humble opinion, NV and Palette is sama sama. But you need to take note if you take NV, you do not have choice in the 'theme' and storage compartment. The default assigned theme is the Coastal Theme...Light beige floor tiles etc...vs the other theme - Garden Theme. Coastal Theme has warmer colour than Garden Theme.
3. Palette is currently clearing the land. Using the construction method and based on the floor & site plan, expect at least 30mths (optimistically speaking) from now. So mathematically fastest is Q3 2014 TOP.
4. NV still have abt 20 units left...I think maybe/likely TOP Q1 2013. =)

Blk 83 and 85 (the most easily viewable blocks) is currently in the process of fitting the water tank (it seems). =D

Thanks for your updates. Suggest if you could provide images so that we could visualise better. Once again thank you sotidy.

Not too sure but definitely they are now working at the roof level. Can see the feature wall erected up on the roof.
Windows fitted almost to the top level for most stack
Think Bin Centre will be towards the last. So when it appears.... almost liao:D
Actually likes NV 4 bedroom very much. But not enough $. I like the masterbedroom toilet design (bathtub and normal shower room separated unlike palette.

Yup...I am kind of assuming the watertank for NV is similar to Livia. Going by calculation...the entire building for blocks such as 83 and 85 will be 'done' by end mar 12. I am eagerly awaiting for CDL to bill me the next payment. :D

Are the roads (infront of blk99 & Pasir Ris grove) ready?

personally prefer NV's interior, maybe also because they used expensive ID so looks way more classy to me...

the agent mentioned to us before that the trees are import from australia and very costly for each tree. more than few hundred thousands per tree.

How to make request to Cdl? Was thinking Cdl not to put the homogeneous tiles as I have intention to install marble tiles instead and also change the stove?
Recently there is a news about '99-year-lease homes on freehold land 'harder to sell en bloc' (http://forums.condosingapore.com/showthread.php?t=13092), is that true the NV is actually built on the freehold land but CDL giving the contract for 99 leasehold to buyer?

Think you can just call CDL customer service direct and request to speak to the project IC. But it might be too late to make the request now as I suspect....it might be a done deal for some of the units.

It is a fact CDL bought the land in 80s.
It is also a fact NV (as well as Livia, Palette and the future 2 plots) are sold to buyers based on 99 years lease.
The rest of the things (e.g. developer actually leasing the contract for 99 years to buyer) probably no one has any fact nor is sure. However, for such mass market properties and no GFA revision potential, how easy is it to go for en bloc? Most new properties will have zero enbloc potential. :D

Do you guys aware? Those who brought NV are losing 2 years lease. CDL launched its NV in Sept 2010 as the lease starts on 7th Jan 2008 same as Livia.

Hi,
I'm new here.
I also noticed that The Palette lease only starts somewhere later in 2010 or 2011 even though it is on the same plot of land.
Could this be the reason why NV is rushing to TOP to compensate us the lease period which started way back in 2008.
Anyway 99 years is a long time, I dun think those who bought NV will ever live to see that time when their lease is up.

1. It is likely CDL bought the land back in the 80's as a freehold land and the intended purpose was for agriculture.
2. You can view it as CDL doing 'land banking'. CDL subdivided the land into 5 plots (maybe they paid a fee)
3. CDL probably paid a DP to convert it for residential purpose.
http://www.sla.gov.sg/doc/ser/DP%20policy%20wef%2031%20Jul%202000.pdf
Bottom line is are there any differences between 99 years leasehold from CDL/Far East or 99 years leasehold from Gov't? When lease expires, both take it back and resell it.
Yuppie boy: Most developer wants to be 'fair' to 99 years leasehold buyer as far as they can. usually from land sales date to TOP, its about 3.5 years. So If NV can TOP end of this year...then its about 5 years. So lugi abt 1.5 years from norm.
If I did not remember wrongly, Palette lease is 20 Oct 2010...and I estimate TOP date is Q4 2014. Lease would have expired by about 4 years also.
Looking back, CDL probably paid the DP for both plots back in Jan 2008, wanted to launch both but Jan 2009 suck thumb, so focus on livia first. Come Jun 2009 everything starts moving up and so they focus on clearing livia first and then start launching NV around Aug 2010. Then NV sell so well back then...so they quickly convert another plot in Oct 2010 and launch Palette back in Q4 2011. So for all you know...maybe let's say when Palette sells 60% by....say Jun 2012, they might convert the next plot...and wait to launch it some time in 2013 if property market is still alright or push the launch closer to 2014.

In any case, for anyone who are buying new projects hoping for enbloc in fututre, he/she will have to wait a very very long time as the likelihood is very very low. There are still many old projects (pine grove, mandarin garden) with enbloc potential. But for those rushing to buy pine grove, mandarin graden, better be aware the 4 year SSD will apply if you suay suay buy today and the enbloc is goes through 6 months later.

but den livia, nv and palette r really 99lh....
lets see 4th and 5th plot cdl gona sell as 99lh or 999lh.....hehe
From what a friend told me, it was previously FH agricultural land, when CDL gets permission to convert it to Residential land, it was converted to 99yr Residential. After 99 years, the land will be returned to govt.
Guess the only one who can confirm is CDL.
This will clear all doubts....

Hi mate, can you help enlighten what is "dp" exactly....a bit confused? Why would anyone pay money to convert a 999yr leasehold to a 99 yr leasehold?
Another reason is that there might be typo error in the annual report disclosures.
Only large developer can talk to garment to convert.

In Page 65 of the annual report, it stated:
pasir ris land parcel 3 + state land 41,513 99 years
pasir ris land parcels 4 and 5 84,132 99 years
So is that mean the land for NV is 99 year leased by GOVT but not CDL? (thansk everyone for clarify the doubt ekspecially sotidy)

Technically speaking...all the land are owned by Ah Gong. Ah Gong owns everything :p in this land.
Look like NV could only achieve 60 over % as of March 2012. It is still a long way.

Yup. Q1 2013 is still a safer bet. Dec 2012 is a hope (wish). :D
Actually I am more interested to know the size of the new hawker centre, the quality of food and the date of completion. The site is already known (as posted in this thread previously)
After years of foodcourt, kopitiam food, its time for some decent food.:p
Actually where is the hawker centre? I tried searching but cannot find.
This is for friends who wants to see blk 99,95,93 status...These are taken from TPE. :D
Would anyone care to enlighten where are these 3 blocks facing eventually? The expressway?
Thanks!

99 and 95 probably should face palette. 93 will face a bit of palette and some of elias green. 91 probably will face elias green (and might be able to see the open space in between elias green's blocks).

Actually I 'answered' this question several times in several threads already. I saw the description in Chinese and it says its beside the Pasir Ris SRC. So it means it will either 'eat into the town park' or be at the reserve land plot that's diagonal to it. These are the only two possible plots according to the description.

If really want 'mini-mart', there's some chance in the next 2 project. But can always walk to the shops at the BTO area if you really need something. Walk a bit more and exercise more lah..:D

It is almost end of Q1 2012. All the building structure should be up.... Keeping my finger cross to hope that CDL will change its TOP from 2Q 2013 to 4Q 2012 :D

I doubt. I believe Q1 of 2012 is between 60-65%.
As of this morning, Blk 95 still 1 level to go. Blk 99 1/2 level to go. Blk 99 should reach the top by end Q1 2012 - like what I anticipated earlier. Blk 95 will reach the top by end of 1st week of Apr. One thing that is slightly different from previous Livia project is there seems to be more concurrent activities. I think I can see some paint work being done to Blk 83 (or 85)..can't remember.

so far i'm 55%, upper blk 87.
As of 31st Mar 2012.
Blk 99 almost reached the top.
Blk 95 still about 1 more floor to go.
For many units, the sliding door at the living room is already up - see the pictures.

Hi

It's very hard to predict what will happen next quarter and even harder to predict next year. Instead of 'hearing' from others (forum or agents), go to URA website to do some research yourself to see what is the min, median, average max etc. :)
Hi

Normally prices and rental rate will be slightly depressed compared to market after building TOP.. This is normal because a lot of the investor owners will either try tO sell rent units asap, hence causing a small oversupply in terms of units.
After ard 1 year, price will start to normalize and this is the critical part when u see whether ppl "like" or "dislike" the development. If "like" of course price rent go higher. If "dislike", then tenants/buyers will have stronger bargaining power.

The final floor should be up this weekend. All the sliding doors at the living room at the blocks closer to Livia are all done.
According to CDL website, expected TOP still Q2 2013. Now at 65%.

Top floor for 95 and 99 done. Now the NV looks like Livia back in Sep 2010. So I think maximum 10 more months to TOP - which is around Feb 2013.

Not really relevant to NV but the future "International School" is likely to be diagonally opposite Oasis@Elias.
This is what I posted in the RippleBay thread.
---Start---
MK29-02659P is FROM opposite Block 716 at Pasir Ris Drive 3 (Right beside the "Block 1" of the industrial building), all the way TO the former Oasis@Elias Showflat area.
MK29-1243T is near house 71 along Pasir Ris Heights.
So the location is like to be at the former Oasis@Elias showflat area.

Hi, does anyone know when the detailed layout plans (with measurements) will be provided to the owners? For interior decor planning purposes? Or how to obtain them earlier?
Also, opennet site says the optic fibre for all 8 blks is tentatively scheduled for install after Jun 2012. Can owners expect their units to be fibre ready upon TOP/move in?

I *think* (i.e. I cannot confirm) detailed layout plans will only be given after the actual thing is being built/completed. However, you can call CDL (look for the project IC) to give a 'scaled' floor plan - I already got mine last year. :D

Hmm....right from Day 1 I know its metal railings already. I did ask several agents several times back then and the answer is metal railing. The showflat also showed metal railing.

I met an agent in the showflat just before it shifted to H2O and he insisted that it is glass just like Livia. Anyway, depending on the facing, metal railings maybe better as it gives more privacy, but good facing maybe glass would be better. I'm sure it won't rust, the railings should either be aluminum or stainless steel.

Most likely the agent talk cock. Anyway, the showflat was metal railing. Looks more like 'cast iron' rather than stainless steel. Cannot be aluminium as aluminium is not a strong metal. Anyway, I guess in about 2 month's time, we should be able to see the actual thing. :D
See this URL for a picture of the railing.

I have a few questions. Does anybody knows how much is the service fee per month? How is it calculated? Do we have to contribute extra to the sinking fund or does it comes from the maintenance? If I do not drive, can I "rent" out my carpark entitlement to those who have 2 cars? Haha, stupid question but just wondering. :ashamed1:

Most likely is still next year TOP la...but let's see how it goes...
1. By share value. This info should be in ur documents.
2. Extra will depends. Usually from maintenance but if there's major overhaul, then everyone got to chip in if majority votes for the overhaul.
3. Officially you can't rent out your car-park entitlement.

Ha ha...Monitor lah. I passby the same spot at least twice a day for the past xx years. Officially it is a planter. Based on my estimation it should be 0.5m in depth , appx 0.7-0.8m in width. This is excluding the 'thickness' of the planter wall. Length will depends on your unit type.

Dun have the superzoom with me today so i just popped 2 AA batteries into a 7 years old digicam....

- Some unit's aircon trunkings are already DONE...
- I see air-compressors at the aircon ledge already...
- Pasir Ris Grove road in along NV is already nicely done...
The current state is similar to Livia in Sep 2010. So by this yardstick, probably 10 more months for us >> Feb 2013. By June 2012, the remaining 3 tower cranes should be gone. :D

If NV can hit 80% of works done by next Q2 then getting a TOP by year end is possible. Let's see..

Personally, I prefer CDL's projects cos of the finishings but I haven't been to the showflat of Watercolors so no comments. Watercolors is further away from the MRT, nearert to the sea though, and distance to MRT is important to me. I don't fancy projects that are near to sea cos I am cautious of the salt content in the air that would damage my furniture. :D

They do provide 'scaled' floorplan. They will not (and cannot) provide a scaled floorplan as the unit is not measured etc etc yet at this point in time. With the scaled floorplan, it is a fairly good estimation already. The difference between a scaled floorplan and the one in the brochures is that the scaled floorplan have an actual scale for you to refer to.
Anyway, you can PM me your unit type. If it's the same as mine, I can email you.:D

I do not believe the detailed measurement plan is not available. The construction will required detailed measurement to enable them to build to spec and also to do up the carpentry too.
If you buy a HDB, the detailed measurement plan is also provided and that is given even before collection of keys, exact elect points/tv points/etc are also provided. Primarily for space planning and reno purposes.
No interior decorator (ID) will commit to drawing up reno plans based on scaled drawings w/o exact measurements.
Haiz, guess gotta wait until TOP for detailed plan. In the meantime, have to guesstimate the measurements of the unit to do agar-ation planning instead.
Yes HDB give the detailed measurement upfront. For private, they need to be more conservative mah....only give what they can give when they are supposed to give. I think ID firm can still do it but just that they will buffer in more margins. :D
Relax .... I don't think the wait will be too long....:D

Nope. These are common areas. So all should get it abt the same time. Will update u guys once I receive it. Still looking for the guard room to be up..it will be the last I guess.....:D

the sizes of the beds in the scaled plan seems rite. but the scale seems wrong. 1:100. 1cm shld b 1m but the scale of 5m is short. I think I will use the plan as it is.
I have a feeling the wait will b over by Q4. keeping fingers X!

For me basically I just use the given scale to map out the dimensions using photo shop. Seems alright.

Hi future neighbours,
My unit is a 2+1. Does anyone knows if the Planter is an actual balcony or is it just wasted space for plants? Can't seem to find the info anywhere. TIA!

It is a planter. Whether wasted or not will depend on individual. :D
pls pls complete building NV Residences asap so that the machinery and workers can move over to the palette plot and start piling!!! :p

LOL. Actually the piling machine is different from the Tower Cranes. The constraints should be with the workers.
Some people *thinks* that NV's pre-fab is bad (thus quality is bad) and that's why construction is fast but the fact is that it is *normal* and many other projects are using pre-fab as well. Take Ripple Bay as an example, their developer (go read HKLand's interim management statement) has committed to complete the project by 2014. That's less than 30mths from scratch (piling not started yet!).:D
I estimate your palette can be completed by Q4 2014 or Q1 2015, looking at the usual speed.
Pictures as of today
Left with only 2 tower cranes as of today. From outside, the progress is not visible already.
Palette's land is being cleared and soil testing machines sighted at Palette.
