View Full Version : The Palette (D18, 99 years leasehold, CDL)
Yah worsty but initial pain will lead to gain in the future. If I had my way, I wld have started investing in property the moment I graduated. At that time I still don't know what it meant by "leverage"!!!! If I bought a MM then I cld have built my wealth faster...sigh
well, by the time we got money to buy, missed out the boomtime... definitely no money to pay for downpayment then...
That's why Mr Kwek always say he price to sell the units. Livia took quite a fair bit of time (>1yr) to clear the units. NV also took quite a fair bit of time (>1yr) to clear the units (although still about 4% left). I expect Palette to take >1yr to clear the units as well. :D
Dunno leh CDL bought the plot long long ago, in fact of only sell 50% of all Livia and NV he wld have broke even. Think it can be priced to sell because CDL got the land cheap. Anyway looking at the Palette hearing those prices I seriously think a lot of potential for upside. The mrt location, proximity to beach, tampines mall....think it will still be very popular as a suburban choice of living.

Was considering pasir ris previously but it's just...too east for my liking though like you,i'm also a east boy... Max max also simei and must be around the mrt like double bay/my manhattan...

Actually now manhattan/double bay in Simei only 2 mrt stops away from Pasir Ris. From this perspective, pasir ris condos more value for money. However if u drive/take cab it is really FAR EAST lol.
In terms of location EU habitat is good u can reach parkway or town in 10mins by car. I live at Joo Chiat now if I speed I can reach ion in 10min (the time taken to walk from vacanza to kembangan) lol

Haha. Thanks. I hope so. But it's for own stay..unless i just take the profits (if it really go up)and get a resale elsewhere..
Is that you in the avatar pic? Like Tyler Durden in Fight club..hahaha

Precisely. This is just one of many CDL projects and property development is only one part of CDL's business so unlikely they will panic to sell everything. This 3rd project's pricing has increased compared to the first two in terms of psf. Basically its playing around with the size to make quantum look good.

Yeah. Driving now so it makes a difference with being at eu habitat and being at Livia/NV/Palette although i'm thinking i should drop the car and whack another mortgage instead once my unit TOP...

Sigh ya lor...even HDB CEO now says small apts do not affect quality of life lor. Think this is the way to go now, smaller units with more affordable quantum. Some MMs can even do a 2BR in a 500sqft unit, really changing the way we perceive property. HDB also building smaller and smaller....but given land scarcity we are just headed towards HK/Tokyo style living I guess. Those with big condos shld keep...so rare nowadays

For you, you might want to just get ur ammo ready, go to banks to get pre-approval (checkout the rates and packages) and be prepared to buy if you find your dream home at the price you want in D15. :D
Better focus on what you prefer if its for own stay and not what you think may be 'cheap'.
Hope you get ur dream home fast...and go to the pool more often (with the 6packs) :D

priced to sell. if have extra cash, i wld say, BUY. i am not agent hor, kekeke, nho vested interest also, but last week i went showroom i know Pasir Ris a lot of room for upside.
1. Pasir Ris Beach - Though a poorer cousin of ECP, not ATAS, at least there are activities along the beach compared to West Coast. And there will always be demand for 'resort' living. Haha.
2. Downtown East, Whitesands Mall and several smaller malls. Amenities tick. And surely with higher influx of people into the neighbourhood, it makes sense to expect malls to upgrade in the future.
3. Short drive to Tampines Central, Changi Airport, Changi Business Park. Potential renters.
4. Educational institutions, IKEA, GIANT etc. Families love!
5. Big supply of potential HDB upgraders as though who love Pasir Ris will always love to live in that area near their family and relatives
6. 700m walk to MRT. Not at your doorstep, but doesn't need feeder bus.
7. Access to TPE/PIE/ECP
8. The identity of Pasir Ris has always been 'resort living', if I were URA planner, I think I will further enhance this identity and make it more upmarket (just like how Punggol Waterway has transformed the identity of a marshland). Pasir Ris Punggol GRC is a HUGE GRC. Votes are important to them. And PAP will go all out to pander to the young families and voters.
That's all I can think of for now.
err....what is IPA?
You get pre-approval without giving the banks any project names?
yah In-principle approval based on my income. i.e. Banks will disburse any mortgage loan up to the amount based on the approval.

Personally, as you might be aware, I am familiar with the East, have vested interest and also follow local/global news/trends for years. My opinion is this project is neither cheap nor expensive. The average psf was within my prediction (if you refer to posting some weeks back). It is priced to sell by offsetting a higher psf against smaller unit size. For anyone looking for "investment", better choice will be to pick smaller units within the project.

What do you think of the potential in the future compared to woodlands and JLD?

Seriously very hard to say.

One way to compare potential is the amount of land released for private residential. Hence I am very conservative about woodlands and JLD.

Very hard to say about the future. GLS (Government Land Sales) policies are reviewed about twice yearly and land parcels can be added/removed into the confirm/reserve list as and when Gov't decides it. Actually apart from core CCR, the rest of SGP has plenty of land available for the Gov't to sell.
However, just because there are plenty of supply does not mean prices will just plunge right to the floor. To a very big extent, gov't exerts its influence by not allowing the land to be sold too cheaply - as you can see from recent UOL Paya Lebar's case. So I think 300psf for any pc of 99year leasehold land in SGP is the 'floor' price. With cheapo construction and minimal overhead, minimum average selling price for any new condo anywhere in SGP would be around 550psf. (unless there's WW3 or similar...)
For Pasir Ris, I think the best potential tenants are from Changi Business Park. CBP is still growing every day and I think the quality of the tenant there is good. Having said that, Bedok, Tampines and Simei's property prices and rental prices are much higher than Pasir Ris. This would inevitably force these tenants to look for alternatives. Either they will look towards Kembangan or Pasir Ris....so for people who don't really have their roots in SGP, they won't bother so much on whether its RCR or OCR as what they want is cheap and near workplace.
One way to compare potential is the amount of land released for private residential. Hence I am very conservative about woodlands and JLD.
Woodlands will be boosted by new MRT line that is connected to JB. JLD will be boosted by Jurong East (commercial and recreational), Tuas (industrial) and Jurong Island (heavy industrial). Both have much better potential than Pasir Ris. I have yet to hear anything on Pasir Ris. It is likely the government will focus its resources on projects already announced.

Yes, do not doubt that those future devts will drive up values in Woodlands and Jurong. However it is still anyone's guess what the profile of tenants and residents would be like in the future i.e what are their price thresholds? would you get more blue collar or white collar in the area? There are indeed so many factors....

With travelling costs, time and hassle increasing, more people will stay near their workplaces and parents. Price in these areas near MRT will continue to climb.

Ya. White sands need to be expanded like what they have done to Jurong Point. Jurong Point looks so different now from my undergrad days at NTU.

White Sand is owned by AsiaMall. So unlike Capitaland's Mall or Fraser's Mall, AsiaMall's mall tends to have lesser AEI activities.

Why not consider the 2+ study? Can be rented out as a compact 3 bedroom?
U might want to consider the stack with the least walking distance to the mrt.

For me, I don't really like most of the 2 and 2+1 design because the main door opens to the kitchen door which has straight through view to the kitchen window. I think not very good in terms of fengshui.
Only a few stacks of them the main door don't face the kitchen door.

Two-thirds of previewed Palette units snapped up
Sim Lian also sells about 200 of 240 units at Parc Vera since Oct28 launch
By MICHELLE TAN
(SINGAPORE) The Palette residential development at Pasir Ris Grove saw a brisk take-up of 200 units at its preview launch last weekend.
http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/mnt/media/image/launched/2011-11-15/BT_IMAGES_TMPAL15.jpg
Price range and layouts: The average selling price of the 892-unit Palette was in the range of $870 per square foot. Unit layouts in the 12-block residential development range from one-bedders to four-bedders. The project also has 10 penthouses
City Developments Ltd (CDL) released a total of 300 units in the 99-year-leasehold development at the preview.
The average selling price of the 892-unit residential project, located within walking distance to Pasir Ris MRT Station, was in the range of $870 per square foot, with prices beginning at $561,000 for a 495-sq-ft one-bedder on a low floor and $1.8 million for a 2,217-sq-ft penthouse.
Unit layouts in the 12-block project range from one-bedders (up to 700 sq ft) to four-bedders (up to 1,798 sq ft).
The residential development also has a total of 10 penthouses (from 2,217 sq ft to 2,562 sq ft), of which all four units launched last weekend have already been taken up.
Warm responses have also been noted in other project launches located primarily in the heartland regions.
Notably, Sim Lian's 99-year-leasehold residential project, Parc Vera, has met with keen interest from local buyers and has sold about 200 out of 240 units since its launch on Oct 28 at an average price of $800 per sq ft.
Located along Hougang Avenue 7, the 452-unit development is also close to recreational sites such as the Serangoon Park Connector and Punggol Park.
According to a property consultant, most of the buyers of Parc Vera already reside in the North-Eastern part of Singapore, with many citing proximity to their parents' homes as a priority.
Despite concerns that residential prices are near a top, head of Residential at Knight Frank, Wendy Tang, continues to expect healthy sales in the heartland regions on the back of 'real demand from local buyers'.
Concurring with her view, Global Property Strategic Alliance CEO Jeffrey Hong expects 'healthy pick-up rates' going forward as HDB prices continue to soar, narrowing the price differential between public and private homes.
Going into the month of Christmas, developers are rushing to dish out a final spread of new launches before the year's end to tap the buying momentum and capitalise on the festive spending mood of buyers.
According to agents, CapitaLand is tentatively set to launch its 99-year-leasehold development, Bedok Residences, as early as this week.
Expected to draw a fair bit of attention due to its prime location and proximity to Bedok MRT Station, the 583-unit project will form part of CapitaLand's plan to transform the Bedok Bus Interchange and the land surrounding it into a 15-storey mixed development comprising residential and retail components.
Other projects expected to be launched in December include a 400 plus-unit residential project in Sembawang by MCC Land and a 577-unit development by UOL and SingLand by Bedok Reservoir.

City Developments said in an update yesterday that it has sold 320 out of the 400 units it released in the 892-apartment The Palette.Sales of the Pasir Ris project started on Nov 12. Units were priced at an early bird average of about $870 psf then, but prices have since been adjusted upwards by a marginal 2-3 per cent.
'Launches that are conveniently located near MRT stations, such as The Palette, are experiencing strong take-up,' noted a CityDev spokeswoman.
They also must brag a bit to show that they are not losing out to capland's bedok residences. I'm not a supporter of both projects but at 300k difference and 4 mrt stops between them, I would have thought the rational thing was the cheaper one.

my agent has access to credit/mortgage defaulters' database (based on his close links with bankers). so usually he will knock on their doors to psycho them to "help" them reduce their debt. so agent is like a 'debt consultant'.
usually these people will 'downgrade' - agent will help him sell his house, and then find a suitable cheaper apt/rental to help them improve their situation. in the end agent earn a lot even from someone in terrible debt lor...

Yes I like stack 14 coz the distance from this stack to opp stack is farthest! I think #05-14 is around $1.028m, better value than stack 11. Also living is south facing.

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/singapore-residents%E2%80%99-monthly-incomes-rise.html
Incomes of Singaporeans and permanent residents rose sharply this year amid good economic growth and a tighter labour market.
Also, the employment rates for older residents and for women in their prime-working age reached new highs, according to findings of the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).
Based on the Labour Force Survey conducted in June, the median monthly income from work of full-time employed residents – Singaporeans and PRs – increased by 8.3 per cent to S$3,449 this year from the previous year.

went down to have a look. if you are particular about finishing, do note that all the living room floor options are tiles, including the design that looks like marble. also, the bedroom flooring is timber laminate, not timber, and all bathroom walls are tiles only.

FYI, finishing has 2 themes, one comes with parquet bedroom flooring the other is laminate. Can choose either one.
FYI, finishing has 2 themes, one comes with parquet bedroom flooring the other is laminate. Can choose either one.
"Parquet Laminates, Veneers, and Solids
Parquet laminates are the most inexpensive form of parquet flooring. Parquet laminates are faux-wood pieces attached to a base such as particle board. A clear, protective coating of plastic is applied to both sides. The floor is then sealed with heat and/or pressure, which completes the process of lamination.
Veneer parquet is a layer of solid wood between three and five millimeters thick. This veneer layer is glued and pressed onto a core panel of a different material, like plywood, and attached to the materials base. Veneer parquet floors can be finished and sanded with the usual techniques. They are easily repaired by light re-sanding.
Solid parquet is composed of completely solid wood, and is more expensive than parquet laminates or veneer parquet. The standard thickness of a solid parquet board is usually 1.5 cm or more. This thickness ensures that your solid parquet-based hardwood floor can be sanded repeatedly throughout its lifetime. The most common type of solid wood parquet is 5/16" thick in sheets 2' by 2' containing a repeating pattern. It's held together with a linen mesh backing or a removable paper facing."
Only if it's solid parquet then it's considered good finishing...

I find solid parquet hardest to maintain. They usu warp or scratch badly...
Didn't not know this - I stand corrected then.
I thought it was real marble and solid parquet.
And thanks for the write-up on the different parquets - good to know.

Mass- and mid-market projects fared better yesterday, going by the showflat traffic at The Palette and Seastrand at Pasir Ris, Archipelago at Bedok Reservoir and Nottinghill Suites at Toh Tuck Road.
Their prices range from $900 psf to $1,550 psf.
Steady streams of couples and families turned up at the showflats but many left without buying.
When asked, several said that while they were unaffected by the new measures and looking to buy for their own use, they were keeping their options open.
They added that price was a crucial tipping point and they were hoping that the new measures would bring down costs.
Analysts have predicted that the Government's latest move to cool the property market could cause prices to fall by as much as 30 per cent over the next year.
Mr Michael Tan, 40, who works in IT and was at The Palette showflat, said: 'I'm looking to buy for myself but I'm also looking for more bargains.'
Mr Tan Kok Keong, head of research at OrangeTee, said the situation yesterday was not unlike that in January, after the last round of cooling measures.
'Visitorship at showflats then didn't fall. As for today's situation, the high-end market has also been slowing down for some time so this outcome is not totally unexpected.
'But for the other projects, it could be a case of Singaporeans doing research so they will be better prepared to make a purchase when the prices drop.'
But one buyer, who gave her name as Ms Chee, took the plunge - on a $567,000 one-bedroom unit at The Palette, despite family objections.
The 37-year-old permanent resident, who is currently renting a place, said it was her first property.
'My family has been nagging me since the middle of this year to hold off because they believe prices will fall further.
'But at the end of the day, it's my money and I think there's no need to wait. More important is whether you feel comfortable about the price and whether it's within your budget,' said the operations manager at a logistics firm.
U guys shd still got about 1wk before exercise deadline rite? Tink carefully b4 exercise ;)
Bro! u make me cold sweat and cant sleep the whole night.:scared-3:
Not exercising means got to forfeit more than 10k of my blood-shed $.
Now thinking should i back out and gamble that the price drop at least 20%
But then my beloved unit may be gone.
Maybe call developer & pity us and give one time discount 5% for all who bought:D

Far East Organization sold about 15 units at its projects across Singapore over the weekend.
A City Developments spokeswoman said that 'a few' units at 892-unit The Palette were sold on Saturday: 'To date, we have sold more than 400 units out of 450 units launched.'
None of the buyers who purchased homes in the project at Pasir Ris have withdrawn their options due to the implementation of the new measures, she added.
CapitaLand likewise said that no buyers at the 583-unit Bedok Residences, which was launched last month, have said they would not exercise their options. That project is currently over 80 per cent sold.
Other developers said it was 'business as usual' at their showflats, but admitted that sales were slower compared to a week ago.

But they should not mislead or provide incorrect information to the public, and since it was advertised as it is then there should be one, otherwise why have an agent in the first place to show you around.

CDL's spokeswoman said the units returned at The Palette may not necessarily be due to the cooling measures. Personal reasons and financing matters could also be at play.
To date, 450 of the total 892 units in the project have been released. The project is now selling at about $890 psf on average.

CDL owns 5 plots of land in the area. Those who bought livia made a tidy sum $2xx-4xxpsf, after livia came Nv residences just beside Livia and launched $2xxpsf above livia. The palette managed to sell half so far is coz the project is priced close to NV residences launch price. i think cdl not too optimistic about the market based on the launch price of palette. they have two more plots beside the first three projects to launch so they cant afford to go too high on palette. i do not see much upside as they will be 5 condos crammed in that parcel of land and you can imagine the number of units fighting for the rental pie in the area next time. Landscaping wise, palette has to be the best of the three so far, followed by livia.

true that... we share same views...
For those distracted by watertown, palette is so much cheaper and is on EW line. While palette has no integrated services, I feel that it's so much a better bargain than Watertown!
Some people are willing to pay anything to avoid exposure to outside temperature, the sun and rain when going out.
It would be ideal for them to be in total air con environment from their home all the way to mrt so as not to ruin their multi-million dollar treatments and make ups.

Well, everyone has his or her own reference. :) I live in Pasir Ris for many years and I love the area. I jog to the Pasir Ris Park/Beach regularly and I love the surrounding. Palette is less than 700M to the MRT which is good enough for me. It will be convenience when my kids are older by the time Palette TOP. There will also be a shuttle bus to the MRT after TOP.
For those taking MRT, it is the first stop in the E-W line and there is a higher chance of getting a seat. The price (800-900psf) is also lower compared to other new launches.
i stay in pasir ris too and it's really a nice and quiet place to stay, for now. going foward when all condo and btos are done, i bet it's gonna get real crowded. esp at the train station.

i've lived there close to two decades and love the serenity. just griping that the food sucks in pasir ris :mad:
on getting a seat on the MRT, don't bang on it cos' there are kiasu aunties and uncles that take the train down from simei and tampines.

Heard the land supposed to be a FH for this site?
if the land is FH, what's the impact? CDL is selling as LH99 to buyer

Precisely! Many arent aware of this fact though. I'm pretty sure this land was FH but CDL / HL is leasing it out as 99 years. For the entire huge plot of land

Price, appreciate if you could please copy and paste the records here to prove it is freehold held by CDL/HL instead of spreading rumours. Thanks!

If buy for own stay and have holding power, why worried? Waste OTP. If got enough cash and property market crash, other opportunity arises.
And why buy in the first place if think 1k psf too high?

That's the problem. Many say want to loook see, look see only but when reach the showroom was mesmerised by the showroom decor, crowd and lastly the handsome or pretty agent sweet talk and forgortten all about the price:doh: Anyway nobody can be 100% sure price will drop significantly and when. The only question u have to ask urself can u wait. :D
