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
Well said mate!
Palette's 2BR sold out. Yay!

Not a bad size for a 2 bedder. Any bay windows or large balcony?

Did you buy a unit at The Palette?
Bay windows, yes, but no balcony; just a small extended 'ledge' in the living room, enough to put some potted plants or mats for meditation. I like the smart storage idea since 2+1 unit does not come with a utility room.

Btw, anyone got any ideas on the purpose of the plot of land beside the CDL landplots and under the MRT track. Currently it is under construction.... going to be another PC, DBSS, EC or HDB??? Getting abit congested in this area soon :scared-3:

Hi Kale,
It is for the BTO flats.
http://www.h88.com.sg/article/Costa+Ris+review%3A+Site+layout+and+best+units/
The small plot just opposite White Sands is for DBSS, which should be launching soon.
http://www.h88.com.sg/article/Pasir+Ris+DBSS+site+could+see+some+strong+bids/
Agree that it will get pretty crowded in a few years time.

Living in Singapore, any small plot of land will be utilized for residential purpose. Can't be helped. Back in Punggol where I live, all available plots of land have been used to build flats, flats and more flats. Even the small plot of land next to Edgefield Primary has been earmarked for a condo/EC.:scared-5:

pasir ris is one of the least congested and low density district....there r many parks here and there
really congested ones will be like tpy, queenstown

Agree. Tampines is even more congested. Very little 'green lungs'. I think Pasir Ris and Punggol have more green spaces. Punggol's overall landscape is visually more appealing.

Hi, I have bought a 3+1 for own stay too. Stack 117.
Yes, do let us know if someone is starting a palette facebook page.
Looking forward to meeting our new neighbours.
I was the last few to get a 2+S unit and yes I am also in stack 117 :rolleyes: My original choice was NV residences (I want to move in sooner) but all are subsale units and my agent told me that the palette is an improvised version of it. From the floorplan, I have to agree that the layout is better than NV as the study room is not between the shower rooms. I guess I've approved the reviews given by h88.com.sg.
It is incredibly spacious for a 83sqm unit and very practical for small families. Location is good too as it is very walkable to the train stn and central. I am currently staying in the jewel of the east, Tampines, and I will definitely miss all the amenities here. But at least I know I wun be getting any cluster phobia over there. Keep in touch folks :)
Welcome to the palette, lamb. One thing I like about this development is its proximity to Tampines mall with a 5min drive across the bridge.

another foreign school in Pasir Ris~ woot!
"The largest site on offer this time round is at Pasir Ris Drive 3 with an estimated land area of 5 hectares."
Govt offers 4 land parcels for use as foreign schools (http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1192848/1/.html)
nice!
i wonder which part of pasir ris drive 3 is this??
either near elias or near seastrand/ripple bay that area?
i suspect it's nearer to elias cos ripple bay area is already so crowded, plus the fact that that area is becoming more expensive!
i think pasir ris will become a very happening area once all the condos TOP in a few years time! the draw of pasir ris is that it's not as 'urban' as tampines, not as 'young' as Punggol, yet it has its nature, parks and sand. hence pasir ris will be a place to watch, especially recent data have shown that pasir ris HDB households have the highest social-economic status.
hopefully somebody tear down that useless Whitesands Mall and build a nicer mall. LOL.

Parties expressing interest for the lands are either Indian or Chinese international schools, Pasir Ris piece likely to interest them. Tat's oso shows that the area will be supported by FTs for the next 30 years, so look on the bright side, its good. North side of the whole Pasir Ris Dr 3 has a few piece of land marked 'subject to detail planning' could be these places. Any guess where will it be?

with Livia, NV Residences and the Palette in Pasir Ris Grove now, when do you think CDL will launch the 2 last plot of land in Pasir Ris Grove?
given that 2015 will have so many more residents moving into Pasir Ris, will it still be a 'sleepy town'?
can CDL build an integrated mall at Pasir Ris Grove? the residents need to shop!!! hehehe
P.S If you want sea view, go for Ripple Bay (sold out unfortunately) or wait for Sea Esta. If no sea view, forget about the JLB developments and buy Pasir Ris Grove as it's so much more convenient. Either sea view OR MRT. Don't be lured of living next to the beach yet there's no view and it's not near to anything else. my 2 cents. all the best people! :D

Bro, i agree with ur points about without seaview, JLB is not attractive at all! But do remember (correct me if i'm wrong) the 2 coming up sites by hong leong are 999 years selling as 99 years. It doesnt really matter as long as buyers are comfortable with the price and for own stay.

Happy for u and your good luck.... may it continue and spread to all who have bog the palace too :p
Btw, maybe we can talk about the reasons behind of buying into this developement....
me?
- price of $800-$900psf fall within my budget, most importantly :2cents:
- like the private enclosure for pasir ris grove, but will be congested when all projects hav TOP :doh:
- walking dist to pasir ris MRT (though far end of mrt line cos both my wife and myself working in the east, thus no issue ;) )
- easy access to amentities, hopefully with more amentities to come with the BTO building across the road (new hawker ctr coming to our way :D )
- like the serene surroundings of pasir ris together with the beach n park and peaceful feeling when back to new home :cool:
- 5min drive to tampines multiple malls for convenient shopping and movie :p

Prolly most of you have heard of it...there are only 3 factors to decide when buying a home - location, location and location!!! Be it for own stay or investment, thats important.
I actually bought the palace after I read the reviews of this project on h88.com.sg. The 2+1 unit is as good as a compact 3 bedder in condo terms with the smart storage system in the study room - isnt that brilliant or what! Very good spacious layout and also comes with quality finishings and fittings. I'd say it was Love at first sight for my family. Kale had aptly pointed out the rest of the reasons why most of us bought it. With such a good location and only asking below the psychological level of $1000psf, I believe it will be hard to find similar projects in the market. :p
Pasir Ris is flourishing since Tampines has lesser and lesser space for new malls and whatnot. Pasir Ris has a resort feel and it is definitely more liveable than mature estates like Tampines/Bedok. It is just one stop away from Tampines anyway so not a problem at all.
Initially wanted to get a subsale 2+1 in NV but their study room cannot be converted into a bedroom and planted between two toilets which I dun like :mad:

- Near to entrance.
- Good view of entire resort landscape.
- It is slightly cheaper than the poolview units.
One con is that it is southwest facing. Hopefully there is not much West sun effect.

Yup, got the $5K voucher...thinking hard of how to spend it all on Takashimaya...groceries supplies for 2 yrs? Anyone wants to buy from me at a slight discount? :p
I am not too worried about the slightly west facing. The entire hall will be much brighter. The thing about Pasir Ris is, it has clear blue skies and white clouds, very ideal for resort laid back lifestyle. It sits in the middle of the "valley" where the wind will defintely flow through!

This may not be new news but seems like there is potential upside to the property prices in D18:
Downtown East in Pasir Ris will undergo a major makeover in the next few years.
Revamping the recreational complex, which is about the size of 10 football fields, is estimated to cost a few hundred million dollars. When complete, there will be a new 400-room resort and a bigger water theme park. Also in the pipeline is the refurbishment of buildings that cater to meetings, incentive events, conferences and exhibitions.
The entire redevelopment project will be rolled out in phases over the next four to five years so that the complex remains open for business throughout the upgrade.
Mr Yeo Khee Leng, chief executive of NTUC Club, which manages Downtown East, said the facelift is part of the club's plans for rejuvenation as it celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
Hey folks, I know the site area is 461,315 sqft or 42,858sqm. Does anyone know the dimensions (length x width) of the total land size? If it's a square, it will approx be 207m x 207m but obvisouly it is not...maybe 286m x 150m?
This means jogging one round the entire premise is approx 828m. The size of 2 stadiums?
If really appro 800m around the compound, that is good for some leisure jogging in the nite.
If looking for more, can always jog to nearby paris ris park :cool:
If cycling, can cycle from pasir ris to punggol waterway via lor halus wetland
Healthy lifestyle is the way :cool:

Hope they launch the last 2 plots as mixed development with a giant mall, then we all huat liao!
Btw, will the pasir ris grove road be connected to join pasir ris drive 8? Else, have to walk one big detour to get to the MRT station.

The 2 plots are for residential, not mix development so no chance. :)

I am not sure if that is possible but I do agree PR need more malls than just White Sand and if you look at URA's Master Plan 2008 (up for review nx yr), there are already a few reserve sites beside the MRT, that is most probably where the new malls are likely to be located. :)

It depends when CDL want to launch the next 2 plots, whether they think there is a demand.
When I visited NV showflat 1-2 yrs back, the sales talk by agent was that I shd commit early cos' CDL has a told of 5 plots in their land bank at the site, and that they got it from a tender quite some years before they decide to build Livia and each proj will just get more expensive, so if they do build during good times, Palette buyers will likely see their condo appreciate cos' the next proj more likely will be price at a higher psf? :)

Construction has started in The Palette :o
Hi to all my fellow Palace neighbours...
I've bought a unit at stack 45 back in Mar for home stay.
Btw, after signing all those documents at the lawyer firm, do u guys get to keep a copy? So far I only received the Agreement for S&P, Mortage-in-escrow and Deed of Assignment. But I remember signing more than a dozen of papers during my 2 appt (some which I don't even know what I'm signing on although the lawyer did try to explain to me). :doh:
Today Straits Times's Palette advertisement states "Your last chance to see the Sales Gallery before it closes."

CDL is planning to launch the next plot of land next to The Palette maybe end of the year.

nice~~~~~~~
If the property market still strong, next plot of land will be launched between 880 - 950 psf. it is certainly higher then The Palette. As it is also closed to MRT in terms of distance compare to NV (850 psf), Livia (680 psf), The Palette (900 psf).
Have feeling that CDL will launch next plot of land end of this year or early 2013.
First crane/machine has moved into the construction site this morning. Folks...start your countdown...T+30mth++

Just received a letter from CDL that there is a cash reward if we recommend a buyer. $1,888 if the buyer buys a 1-bedder and $2,888 if the buyer buys a 3-room unit or bigger. Buyer will also receive the same amount. Any takers?
yay hopefully we will see more pic updates in time to come!
All the tower cranes from NV have left. Now about 4 cranes (most likely for excavation/piling) at Palette's site. :D

Another 192 to move .... Slow n steady, taking shape.
If URA caveat is already 673 units as of 31 May 2012, I think more than 700 units sold to date cos mine booked a month back not even caveated yet.

Yes - doing very well I must say. Able to move 700 units in 7 months (that is 100 units each month) is impressive :)
To update the residents of Palette. Was at Palette two days ago to help a relative to finalize the purchase of a unit under CDL' s Customer Reward Program. Myself, has bought a unit in NV
Got info from the marketing agents that across Pasir Ris Dr 8, there are plan for a Market, Supermarket and a Eating house among the BTO Costa Ris blocks. The Eating House and Supermarket are centrally located among the blocks of CR and just below the MRT track. However, the market is towards the end of the blocks and near to TPE.
Definitely a great bonus to residents of Livia, NV and Palette as it will a much shorter walk than to PR Central for our daily needs. This will also enhanced the value of the condos. :cheers5:

If rem correctly, two weeks ago, in ST reports, there are too many condo & EC development in NE & PR areas. IMO, NE, esp Punggol is a vast piece of vacant land and naturally many residential units will be built. Nevertheless, rental market will be softer. EC can only starts to rent after stay-in period of 5 years period. So, condo units will have the lead. Also reported, to stay competitor in the rental market, residential units near amentities with MRT are preferred.
With the latest news that ano 1000 ha of costal land will be added to existing 1350 ha for expansion of airport for the construction of runway 3, terminal 4, 5 and increase business activities in Changi Business Park areas including the 4th uni, Eastern areas will see a tremendous increase of rental potential.

When was helping a relative to finalize the purchase of a unit in Palette, was told by the agent that when the 1st 3 condos were designed, BW is the norm at that time for most condo launched. Now, for new project, BW is no more the norm.
However, was told that most likely the next condo, after Palette will have BW too as the design is conceived some time back.
IMO, agreed that BW looks awkward and take up space. Though help to dissipate heat but placing of bed difficult. Prob, got to customise lor. Hope, CDL make some changes for the next launch. :doh: :doh:

Why do developers of condo units like to put in bay windows whereas HDB flats do not? What's the rationale?
I think if planned properly, a good interior designer will be able to make full use of space including the bay windows. Has anyone make good use of bay windows? Can share?
Within the plot of land by CDL that build Livia, NV, The Palette and 2 more upcoming condos within the same plot of land, which condo among the 5 is the nearest to Pasir Ris MRT?

I take this ez qn. The plot where the showflat is. But expect a higher psf as it is inching closer to central. Palette is already very ideal in terms of location. Back to bw, I think nv got more of that based on the floorplans.

I will put a huge ass 50inch tv, dvd player, cable box, speakers, DVD collection.. on the bay window. It's like a free table/shelf, but of cos view will be blocked. if there isnt much of a view to begin with, why not?

Bro, I happen to chance upon this while reading up on BW, it seems the opposite of what you believe. Having BW does not moderate the temp, it kind of increases the temp in the house.
Quote - In addition, the extensive use of bay windows will lead to higher heat transfer into buildings and increase the need for air-conditioning to cool the building. BCA has advised that many existing residential buildings with extensive bay windows are found to exceed the prescribed Residential Envelope Transmittance Value (RETV) of 25W/m2. The extensive provision of bay windows therefore runs counter to the objective of encouraging energy efficient building design and sustainability.

Since when I'm bro lamb? Hehehe... Anyway, I do agree BW has good and bad but with the Psf so high these days, I rather be paying for those wo. The trend is that new proj that have their drawing plans approve recently will not have BW, but maybe larger balcony or 2 balconies.
I'm pretty sure the nx CDL plot beside Palette will also not have BW...

Yes, it's true; I remember the agent explaining it to me at the showflat. But no big issue lah. Just a small part protruding into the unit below.

While I certainly hope that our properties will appreciate, the situation then is still anybody's guess. If we do enter into recession, perhaps the next launch would be very affordable, cheaper than palette. Prices may be 10-15% cheaper.
All the best!

Thanks LinLin. I remembered when I visited Livia during the TOP sales. The project for NV's Blk 8x onwards beside Livia had already reached up to certain floor levels. During that time the showflat was open and the project was still on sales.
so sweet. nv will also appreciate in value too. just curious- they r releasing the plot of land facing tpe or the one where the showflat is by end of this year?
As mentioned earlier, the next plot is next to The Palette, abt 912 units. The showflat for The Palette will be closing soon as mentioned in the ads on newspaper. This is to prepare for the next launch. It may takes few months The same things happened when the NV closed for The Palette new launch. I was exciting and expecting to know the price and the sizes of the room compare to Livia and NV.

As mentioned earlier, the next plot is next to The Palette, abt 912 units. The showflat for The Palette will be closing soon as mentioned in the ads on newspaper. This is to prepare for the next launch. It may takes few months The same things happened when the NV closed for The Palette new launch. I was exciting and expecting to know the price and the sizes of the room compare to Livia and NV.
Thanks dude :)

The floor plan both NV RESIDENCES + THE PALETTE are very similar.
If there is the 3rd one coming next to the 2 above, i can easily guess it would be again almost the SAME FLOOR PLAN ! :banghead:

They will do anything to move the remaning units without affecting their profit margin. Anyway, I don't really trust the developers and agents. They can say what they want to lure (entice a better word?) pple into buying their products.

Euro and us economies are still unstable, anytime they may strike. Ghost month starts this week Friday, a long weekend on Hari Raya, people taking this long break for holiday and beginning of Sept will be a school holiday, Between mid Aug to end Sept will be a slow sales. Cooling measures may come anytime from now. It seems that the 2nd half a bit queiter, I believe there may have only few new launches. Most developers are trying to clear their stocks towards the end of this year before the nightmare happened.
Double confirmed. The upcoming development at Pasir Ris Grove (4th land parcel), slated for launch by year end or early 2013 will yield approximately 912 units, comprising 12 blocks of 11 to 13-storeys.
It is interesting to know that will the upcoming project still build bay windows, planter, etc. The theme for this project? prices? etc.

I m actually more curious about the name of this project - will it be weirder than the palette heh.

Believe need at latest another 6 moths to clear The Palette's stock. If the take up rate pace is fast and fully sold. It is good for The Palette residents as well as their neighbours in terms of property prices.

The next plot to be launched is the site next to the Palette. My understanding is that the site that the showflat is currently sitting on is supposed to be the last plot to be launched.

actually i think 2 more plots. the plot behind palette will launch, and then the current showflat plot (closest to MRT) will be the last.

In Singapore, every inch of land is maximized for residential use. Look at Bedok reservoir, a whole cluster of condos coming up. The area around Fernvale too. The forested land has been cleared and rows and rows of new flats are coming up. At least in Singapore, we still have some green lungs and beautiful landscapes in our estates, unlike Hong Kong.

I assume you mentioned is blk 570 which is beside the hill. According to master plan 2008. there will be a new road leading to Pasir ris central and the hill will be used for future high rise residential development.
I believe there will be more development in the Pasir ris central, MRT, bus interchange, etc in the future to cope the increasing of population.

Pasir Ris, being an OCR, is one of the locations where the masses stay.
Hence believe the government will try to ensure price stability for EC/ PC by putting in more EC/PC land sales in the OCR if there is sign that price increase is ' too fast and furious'.
This, I believe, will ensure slow, steady and sustainable price growth. This is good for HDB upgrader and long term investor.
For short term investor / speculator, guess it is better to go RCR /CCR where price fluctuation may be more 'intense' and hence gain/loss may be more significant and 'magnified' depending on whether buyer has timed the market well or not.
In Pasir Ris, EC(Watercolours/ Belysa) / PC(NV Residences/ The Palette/Ripple Bay/Seastrand etc.) are currently already in place to supply to the masses and hopefully ensure a balanced supply and demand situation which can results in slow and steady price growth....
My :2cents: view.

This is not the case, any where in the island flooded with new housing, as long as there is a land there will be new residential. Look at the central park @ amk.
It is 500m away. Good luck to you!

From the photo, it's quite obvious the show flat is undergoing renovation for the next launch.

So anti Pasir Ris. How about north east. People many. High buildings plot ratio 3.x is norm. Limited amnities. More than 14 new developments with plot ratio 3.x coming up with condos spamming like no tomorrow. Isn't that worse price suppression with rental too? Are you also saying Watertown lugi

Oh price sure go up ten times. So many buyer will buy fr you. Punggol is near cbd and orvhard. Then all the bhangra will buy up 9,10,11
Punggol gets all.the fresh air fr jb incinerator. Residents complaint to nea abt some smell but they din realised it.cm.fr across the island. Price sure go up!

Very encouraging sales
Most of the projects in Pasir ris are doing well so far except Pasir one DDBS. Poor thing only sole 100+. In term of location, close to MRT & shopping mall. This is considered a good project, don't understand why the sales are so poor. Cannot compete with mass projects? ...or because of the new BTO..

With prices quite close to EC, most people would rather get Watercolors or wait for the EC next to it. The upside is more when a EC eventually privatise compare to PR1. My :2cents:

slow-moving, but eventually i am confident it'd be sold out.
Normal projects launched between 300 to abt 700 units, less projects launched above 800 units. If The palette already sold above the normal launched project's units, it could already fully sold today.
Due to the large qty sales, it takes a bit of longer time.
WATERTOWN at PUNGGOL CENTRAL, total 992 units launched, left 38 units unsole due to its popularity, it's selling fast.

Hi,
Looking to get a unit here for own stay. Shortlisted the following :
3+S
#02-28 - not sure if the tree in front will block some view and the roof activity deck of the clubhouse 2 can actually look into the unit ?
#14-28 (Top floor)-worried of the strong west sun and heat from top
3BR
#12-34 - may have the best outside greenary view among these 3 units and no west sun, only worry the adjacent project may block half of the direct straight view
Also don't understand why the take up rate so low for stack #XX-02, #XX-07, #XX-34 ?
Any advice will be much appreciated :D
Stack 28 & 34 are pretty far from the entrance, this means you need to cover more distance to get out, on foot or vehicle.
There will probably be some noise from the tennis courts for stack 34.
There is no adjacent building to west of stack 34, so there may be some heat in the afternoon.
Stack 02 & 07 are facing the carpark entrance, bin center and sub station, of both NV & Palette. There will be plenty of sight, sound and smell.

Thanks Bigboy for the input.
anyone has the pic of the clubhouse 2? need to check the privacy level for 02-28. and is it better to not have a patio unit below? ( it's labelled as void area according to the diagram chart for 01-18)
in term of psf, it make more sense to get 2nd floor 3+s vs 3br high floor.
am i right to state this?

This pic might be helpful.
Don't see any advantage/disadvantages with having a neighbour below. This is not HDB so you dont' have to be afraid of kids playing soccer or the occasional dong dong chiang. Also this project has pneumatic waste collection so you won't get smelly trash collection.
IMO, choosing a unit would depend on your lifestyle and your budget. The low floors are more affordable and might be easier to sell to the budget conscious in future. However, if budget allows, high floors are always preferred by most buyers.

Finally an official reply from CDL.
CDL: Our lawyer has advised that for a 99 years leasehold, the land will be the government's after 99 years. However, we will not know if there will be any changes to be made by the government threafter.
Based on the above, I do not think Palette is on a freehold land any more once it is converted to 99 leasehold.:cheers4:

Yup, agreed. Plus it cost more to build as it embeds ECO friendly features. Dual chute pneumatic refuse collection system. Two chute for different disposal of recyclable and non-recyclable items. Let's all do our part to save Gaia.
