View Full Version : Archipelago UOL Bedok Reservoir
Took a pic of the show model. Rubbish dump should be the small building covered in greens. Looks neat .. So I guess it doesn't really matter la. in fact the small road in front makes it v convenient for the occupants to load or unload bulky stuffs...
Let me know if anyone wants more pics of the show model, cos I took quite a few then

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I've bought a unit too and am excited about the development. Not sure if construction will be curtailed by the foreign labour crunch this year. Also, I was wondering if it's possible to change some of the fixtures given by UOL. I've emailed UOL but they completely ignored my enquiry :(
Can zeamybro share more model pics? I did not snap any photo when I was at the showroom so now I'm left with little memory of how the development would turn out to be :(
Thanks!

You can call up UOL directly. The right procedure should be getting your lawyer to write in your request officially to their lawyer, and they will respond accordingly. They may or may not entertain your request.
Ok, I will try to share more model pics. Any stacks in particular you want to see?
Thanks zeamybro! Can you share stack 40 pics? By the way do I have to pay my lawyer to write the letter of request?

Depends on law firms, but usually they don't charge.
Ok here are some pics of stack 40 / Blk 515

Wow zeamybro you must have taken a lot of photos there. I thought phototaking is not allowed so I didn't even take any. Thanks so much!
I realised the blocks facing the road are topped with water tanks while the rest have nice curvy brown tops...

I realise that all ground floor units have some covering above in the form of the brown wooden trellis. Do you think there will be some plastic covering on top of the trellis to provide shelter from falling objects and rain?

Welcome!
I tried to request for changes but it wasnt very well-entertained... I cant really recall as it was some time back but there are definitely charges involved. In the end, did not change anything.. anyone managed to make any changes?

I email the developer few months ago, the reply is they no longer allow custom change regarding flooring due to previous have cases cause the delay of the construction progress.

Welcome!
Not too sure about Archi, but in most cases, you'll install the covering yourself. The installation depends on the Management Commitee. Most condos will allow you to install a PVC covering on the trellis. There'll be guidelines as to colour (usually clear only) and size.
You may have to agree to clean the trellis when it gets dirty/debris gets trapped on it, as part of the conditions for installation. The MC will ensure you clean it up. I'm familiar because one of my units is a 2nd floor with a patio unit beneath it.
Hope that helps.
I agree they weren't very receptive to changes... Unlike what my agent had initially said prior to sale...

Guess will have to see how it turns out before deciding what to do. Gotta wait 2+ more years.

Anyone had experience with UOL about their receptiveness to changes? Had thought that it is normally unlikely that developers would want to cater to individual units changes as it is hard to monitor such changes.
Hi Benedict, you mentioned 2+ more years to go? I thought I saw someone put on forum that uol estimates top to be on end 2014?
Hi Benedict, you mentioned 2+ more years to go? I thought I saw someone put on forum that uol estimates top to be on end 2014?
I think it is est. to TOP at end of 2014, but not sure if really can..
Anyone has updated pics of progress?? :)
UOL actually accepted my request to change from homogeneous tiles to marble, with a top up of a few k. I sent in my request through the lawyer. That was in mid 2012 I think.... Eventually I didn't proceed though

I am just tapering my expectations. From the progress, it doesn't seem like it would be possible. But who knows? :D Pray for the best, but moderate expectation.

Hi Zeamybro, why didnt you proceed? Is it the cost?

Tt's a good way to manage our own expectations :)
Any kind souls went there and took photos? Long time didn't see the updated progress le... :P
Blocks seem to be quite close hor, for those pool facing ones... wonder if it would be too close for comfort.. haha! distance is 25m for closest blocks? from balcony to balcony?
Hi Zeamybro, why didnt you proceed? Is it the cost?
Hi fairy, the quote was reasonable but I didn't really like the choice of the marble used. Plus I was having a bad experience with marble on another unit, so decided to keep the homogeneous tiles or change to other kind of floorings upon top.

Care to share what was the bad experience that you faced with marble?

This unit has soft white marble which is very beautiful to look at. Unfortunately after 1 yr, there is this middle piece that turns orangey, plus a few other pieces having the same orange stains at the edge. Consulted the experts and they claimed it was due to moisture and rust, so I bought some expensive chemicals to treat the affected pieces. The stains were successfully removed and marble restored to original outlooks, but the stains came back a few days later again. There was no pipe running below, so I can't really figure out why.
Marble is definitely nice, but perhaps it's better to choose those colour and type which are easier to maintain. Sorry not an expert here ... So can't advice much.

Hi all,
Been reading this forum once in a while for the past 6 months.
Thanks for contributions.
We stay in Tampines
Made the booking in early Dec 2011, Pre-Launch.
selected a high floor unit nearest to the town centre, facing .... err.... the hdb car park.:D
Wanted a unit with the most living space, and affordable, thus the selection.
My wife told me she loved this project, and we have waited too long, hoping for the price of private property to fall :banghead: ; i was given only 2 days to decide :doh: .... i went along with her for it :D
Dont know if it is a sound investment, but at least it wont go very wrong based on our liking of the environment, convenience of the town centre, and there is an mrt not too far away. We wanted a place to stay for good, and conducive for my kids to grow. I would say that the park in the reservoir itself is a very nice venue for outdoor activities, and to relax and be slightly closer too nature.
I was surprised how quickly the project was sold out from mid to end of 2012. It was stagnant for a while after its launch. I guess the high prices of other projects later on, convinced buyers to return to the archi option.

Welcome future neighbour to be!
Yes, love the nature behind the condo. Went up one day and looked down over the reservoir from the top of the little "hill" and found it was very beautiful and calming. Probably do a few picnics there once I shift in.
I was one of those that choose it in 2H 2012 because of the high prices of similar sized units in other developments nearby.

Welcome! I was there during launch too but didnt commit that time.. too many units to choose from actually makes it difficult to decide (haha!) and prices was high too..
Seems you were quite determined to choose this project.. why were you given 2 days to decide? Were you not worried about buying at the peak, the slow movement after launch and the reputation of the reservoir as an attraction for the wrong reason? These were some of my concerns at that time...

I rem I was at the launch too ... there wasn't much discount and prices were around 1100psf for 3br. It was quite high in Dec 2011 especially after dunno which CM not long before this launch. I think Bedok Residences had a good launch about a few weeks ago and that triggered a CM ... :D

Hi, it wasn't me who was determined to buy, I was traveling a lot most of the time.
My wife was pretty much sold to it. I just went along w her, since I had only 2 days to decide. So far no regrets. We committed ard 04 Dec, the CM was announced 07 Dec. Price was high, but we had already waited too long for it to fall. It's a place for us to stay, not for quick turnaround for profit.
With a place that you like, it is very difficult to be precise about what is a good price to pay for because of the emotional aspect. Just enjoy the stay most importantly.
I just got an email from my lawyer asking payment of the further 10%.
Will make appt next week for payment and to sign the Mortgage documents as well. Passed by archi yesterday , blk 509 started installing windows already. And blk 501 just started building up.

Hi Zeus, do we need to make appt with lawyer for payment and sign mortgage docs? thought just adjust the amount to pay based on the loan disbursed?
Hi Zeus, do we need to make appt with lawyer for payment and sign mortgage docs? thought just adjust the amount to pay based on the loan disbursed?
For my case, yes , thats normally the practice i think, we have to make all initial cheque payment to the lawyer and the further 10% of the purchase price once the foundation is built, normally after a year. The bank will disburse half of amount and another half to be paid in cheque to the lawyer ,myself.
Yes, the signing of mortgage document also have to go thru our lawyer. Well they ask me to make an appointment with them, they need to explain the contract and all the clauses in detail, it may take times. My first appt with lawyer last year took more than 2 hours , that's including waiting time, photocopying documents by their staff, explaining and signing stacks of documents. After all, my lawyer is assigned by the UOL, in house banker UOB bank. I think it is a standard practice for private property purchase.
Anybody in this forum bought blk 535?
Hi there, not sure about that, mine is Blk 501, ground floor.

Climbing up the opposite hdb to see the latest development, they just started building 501 and 503. The strata house , 531, 533 and 535 , tractors still digging to built the foundation. Once the foundation is ready it is going to be quite fast to built the rest.

Hi Zeus,
Sori, still dun understand... you mean your bank will only disburse half and you have to pay the other half in cash?
I also went thru the 1st appt around an hr or more but there's no mention of next appt leh...
It's strange for me... your's exceptional case?

Hi, I am new here. So happy I found this thread. As I was wondering why the developer did not ask for the foundation completion payment, after reading this thread I realized 531 still in progress of digging.... The posted photos were amazing. Thanks for the updates and sharing. Cheers.... Will continue follow this thread.

Yeah 531 shld be occupying the former showflat spot, so it will be slightly slower than the rest. But you ve gotten yourself a good choice, so near to the reservoir park.

The constructions does not seem to have progress much compare to the WF series as I drove past it recently. UOL did indicate that estimated TOP in Q4 2014. Will they be on track? I think their spottiswoode R doesn't look like gonna TOP in Q4 2013 either based on current progress ...

If my memory doesn fail me, Archi was launched more than a year later than the last of the WF series? I personally thought the progress was amazing cos each time i drive past, i see big changes. Anyway, official TOP is 2016, so Q4-2014 would be a super big bonus.
And based on WB's schedule, i think UOL should be fairly accurate. Katong Regency seems to be progressing very well too.

I remember if i am not wrong Archi was launch in Dec 2011.
Based on my observation it seems quite impossible for them to TOP in Q4 2014. Looking from the opposite block, the progress of the construction looks like slowing down a bit, not as fast as before or may be, man-power crunch. There are still many blocks yet to be built, like 501, 503, 531, 533, 535 and 24 strata's houses. Plus the other end ( left side) of the plot, 515,517,519. That does not include all the facilities. So may be, i guess TOP end of 2015. On the positive side, with that date, at least it gave us more time to plan and save more money to buy all new furnitures for the brand new apartment, lol.
Hi does anyone has photos of the construction progress?
I personally dont mind this project taking longer time to build, as the DTL3 is probably going to take several more years to be ready. I guestimate TOP should be Q1/Q2 2015.

Yes... most likely 2015 first half...
Is there any way that we can get the floor plan or something and check out some interior designs first? So that we dun waste time once we get the keys.. haha!
Thanks Zeamybro! You pictures are really sharp and clear :)

Probably distance between 30m to 50m -

Fairy, you are welcome. Recently busy with my new place so hardly visit archi site to check out the progress. I also believe the project will top sometime in early 2015.
If u visit the site, u will see that the stacks are actually not that close to one another ... Given that it's a low rise project, I don't think the project will feel very cramped.. so don't worry.

Wonder if the distance from the houses to the apartments is far enough for privacy.

DMP2013 looks like have relocated the plot right next to Bedok North MRT to be used for hospital. Good or bad news. :eek:

Not surprised since the location is easily accessible by PIE, TPE and the bartley viaduct... Makes it quite ideal.
The plot is indeed super big. Good news would be having a pool of medical professionals as potential tenants, and proximity to medical care. But this is just a masterplan, May or may not be materialized.
Pic taken from URA gallery - Draft Masterplan 2013 exhibition.
Somehow I feel they love to feature Archi whenever there is any mentioning of private projects being near nature parks and yet within walking distance to amenities and (future) MRT.
Few mths ago Archi was featured on channelnewsasia on the same topic.

The very expensive CLUSTER at right beside the public Rubbish Dump. LOL
:scared-4:you are happy that they spent (wasted) a lot of money buying expensive cluster next to rubbish dump:confused::confused::confused:
probably you are not our neighbor...:doh:
BTW, i am not staying at the expensive cluster too, could not afford it, but they are really nice and big units. ;)
Hi good day! I received my next 10% payment for the completion of reinforced framework..finally!
Does anyone knows how long it takes typically for the remaining 5% x 4?
nice greenery.. but blocks looks too close.
Really love this project.
Probably the only condo built right inside the Bedok Reservior park, so need no crossing of that very busy Bedok Resevoir Rd to get to the park.
Near to MRT station.
Next to HDB amenities such as kopi shops and supermarkets.
Went to take a look at the board that stated the date of completion. It says 1-Dec-2014. Is it possible or even accurate?

Thanks fairy for the pic.
I am guessing construction completion date in dec 14 may be possible, but that doesn't mean it will TOP soon after. Typically, much time will be catered for rounds of inspections and rectifications to be done.
I have had a unit which project construction was completed in Jan but the TOP was dragged till Jul the same year. But UOL seems to be always v fast.. Their Katong Regency is progressing v fast

Katong Regency is fast due to uol vested interest. The condo is sold out and the mall waiting to collect rent.

They need to hurry up. The strata titled houses haven't even started.

Realistically I think should be ready some time in 2015.

As announced by UOL, it is estimated to be completed in 1Q 2015. And as some other forumer said, it could take a while for TOP after that. So maybe 2Q 2015 if we are lucky.
Can't wait for it to be completed but certainly won't want them to rush and not do a good job. It's taking shape and it's getting really exciting! :cheers1:
Thanks Oreo for the update!
Hi Guys, just chanced upon this forum on google search and am I glad to find so much discussion and details here on Archipelago. I too bought a unit when they first launched, on launch night itself actually. The wait had been so long but am I glad to see the project finally coming to form. :banana:

Welcome Howe. The project is progressing, and I expect it will take at least 1 more year to complete.
Anyone have any updated photos of the place?

Hello future archi residents,
I agreed with Benedict.
will be very tough to complete 100% in 1 year....
Maybe only the units will be ready by then but need to know if they have started the internal finishing works.
From the pictures, only can see the side facing the roads. How about those blocks that started late???
i was expecting to collect keys by this time next year.....:banghead:

In UOL's presentation to shareholders on 28 Feb 14, they have a slide showing Archipelago estimated TOP in 1Q15 and Katong Regency 2Q15. With some luck, they may just pull through.

I was expecting to collect this time next year also. Hopefully as what Insigina pointed out, UOL will keep its promise to its shareholders and TOP in 1Q 2015. Perhaps they are doing all the internal finishings first then complete the outside.

Welcome on board Adam, finally someone make the initiative to create FB for all of us , future neighbor. I am Zac, bought it April 2012, the much long awaited for TOP is nearing soon. The unit that I bought Blk 501, ground flr, seems to be completed from the exterior, started painting already. Due to the long waited TOP, this forum was 'quiet and dead' for a while as nothing much to talk about, hope we can 'jump start' the forum again here or the FB , to share topics where to buy furniture, any good interior design or contractor to recommend.

Hi Guys...
I will like to check if you have spotted this....
Really like to know if the developer will to provide the bind shades outside the masterbed room balcony....
I cant see this item install for those blocks that has almost complete....
What u guys think?
Hihi Homefinder,
Went down to Archi recently and saw the shades that you are looking for :) so dun worry. See attached pic. Also saw the surronding "walls" which are kind of disappointing.. looks quite basic... but at least it's black color which doesnt look tt bad...

Wow, his SSD would be about 12%. Would he have made a profit on this sale?

Should be 8% ssd since project was launched in late 2011. Think selling price is more than enough to cover stamp duty and ssd... but definitely worth it if owner is selling to save on absd for a bigger unit.
