Sky Habitat - Bishan

[lionhill]

if the price of the suburb is about the same as the city centre, who would invest in the suburb?
With RI, RGS, and numerous amenities around, Bisan is actually a good place, although it is suburb in someone's eyes.

Some so called CCR condos do not have any amenities. They are more like offcie than home. Do they really worth more than Sky habitat?

No wonder OCR LH condo at north , NE, west , SW with amenities and mrt also chiong to 1250psf to 1450psf .......lol

[kane]

with the block structures coming up, the distance of the blocks to the road around it is apparent and it does seem a little too close for peaceful enjoyment for the dwellers.

[csgan97]

Is it good buy?

[Noexit]

:tsk-tsk: Its sales speaks it all :2cents:


Is it good buy?

[august]

Is it good buy?

Good location. Worth a look now that developer is starting to give discount.

[hanafi_d2000]

looks like it's the only major devpmt giving price discounts... anyone going for the other site's showroom?

[Ringo33]

Kow Tao to FEO... they project always 20% premium to their neighbours but still can sell...

could be because FEO take a more conservative approach with the building design whereas Capitaland like to go all crazy with celebrity architect.

[mcmlxxvi]

Probably lowest floor of stack 3 of SH... That one has 2 huge balconies and a large Aircon ledge.

[delirious]

with the discounts now, sh seems relatively decently priced now.

[bargain hunter]

5 more sold at 1516psf median. 343 units to go.

[Lovelle]

is it 3 bedroom ?

[Stockbroker]

Probably lowest floor of stack 3 of SH... That one has 2 huge balconies and a large Aircon ledge.
Freehold for KAP vs 99 years for SH. No comparison. How long has this project been advertising?

[Ringo33]

neighbouring plot launching soon??

different market sector? I presume he mean MM apartment.


In Singapore, CapitaLand will be launching in the current half another condo, next to Sky Habitat, which Mr Wong said would "be targeted at a different market sector". The group also plans to release its Marine Point project.

[kane]

neighbouring plot launching soon??

different market sector? I presume he mean MM apartment.

the showroom looks a lot simpler. looks like they are trying to just focus on getting cost down and competing purely on location.

[mcmlxxvi]

Probably a low budget version called Sale Habitat

[hyenergix]

Likely to avoid cannabilising SH sales. If MMs are launched at this new plot, they should sell very well.

[kane]

Just need to replicate JGateway's strategy.

[Ringo33]

Probably a low budget version called Sale Habitat

Breakeven cost for Capitaland is $1270psf, selling price will be $1400psf and above for sure.

I expect to see MM apartment going at around $1800-$1900psf, while penthouses will be around $1400psf.

[hanafi_d2000]

the showroom looks a lot simpler. looks like they are trying to just focus on getting cost down and competing purely on location.

I agree -it looks like affordability is going to be an issue -it's better to price lower and move the units. And don't make it too luxurious or else Sky H may lose its shine

[kane]

they just need to pitch it at the same psf, but reduce the quantum by compressing the unit size, this will fly of the shelf and pave the way for more deep pocket buyers to snag SH.

[tahoo]

Is this time for us to relook at Sky Habitat?
Any news when will its "cousin" be launched?

[RCR]

I think soon, showroom almost ready.

[hanafi_d2000]

Was'nt the site where showroom sit, sold? or is it still up for tender?

[splintuh]

is the SH showroom even open? passed by last week and the structure was still there + saw some movement inside.

[bakasa2002]

it shd be open but the next door one will get launch soon ... there's likely to be where the crowds are heading.:)

ceo changed already. MM vs good sized units side by side, take your pick. :D

[kane]

ceo changed already. MM vs good sized units side by side, take your pick. :D

ideally buy 2. stay in the good sized unit and walk over to the MM to collect rent. very convenient.

[CRViper]

with that kind of quantium they are selling.. seems like buyers who wants to buy here already bought. Lets see how long will CapLand take to clear all the units or will they keep it for corporate rental?

Last heard frm agents there saying now they are marketing it in China... Im not too sure if alot of the residence are PRC... would the owners who bought earlier be ok with it:beats-me-man:

[HOS]

What is the sale status now?

[tahoo]

Got this from an agent. Wonder how much will be the reduction.
"<ADV>SKY HABITAT. 507 UNITS. ATTRACTIVE PRICE ADJUSTMENT IS CONFIRMED!!! GET FIRST HAND INFO NOW!!!SHOWFLAT OPENS 5TH APR!!!"

[Strata]

Could it be over price previously and now under pressure to reduce price to stay competitive at this market sentiment?..

[august]

so looks like those who bought earlier are screwed.

[pmet]

so looks like those who bought earlier are screwed.

Looks like those who bought any properties near 2011 to 2014 are screwed.

[kane]

The size and architecture is nice but the price was just a tad too high. See if they get it right this time.

Won't drop one lah . Now u see sky habitat is price are more reasonable now jurong lakeside is already 1200 to 1300 . Is exp because the unit is big psf .

[matrix0405]

What is their new price? If Crapland signals 5% discount, the rest of the players must follow. More and more completed project with units unsold coming into the market every other month from now.

[Newbie1]

The pfs is not expensive, the problem is the quantum with the relative bigger size units. If they had 400+feet studios and 600+ 2 bedders, 900+3 bedders probably sold out by now

[Noexit]

yes you are right , they have the holding power one price wont drop.

[Komo]

psf needs to drop more since area is big. no point holding inventory and clock is ticking :beats-me-man:

[Strata]

I agree. Market has too many negative factors...sibor rate hike...CMs to stay....resales price keep dropping...holding power so what...the wise who have better foresight tends will not keep holding it if they know the property market in Singapore will be DEAD for at least the next few years...Keep so many empty units for what...affecting your cash flow..

[wt_know]

yeah ... big units kill the sale
foreigner ... 15% ABSD ...
local ... TDSR 60% & MSR 30% - apply to HDB only or both including private?
unit above $1.5M ... practically very hard to find buyer

then why are there still developers bidding record prices for land even now?

[ichigo55]

then why are there still developers bidding record prices for land even now?

All these are already public information ... So what is it unknown that the market is still holding strong?

[wt_know]

land banking ... must have land on hand first then can develop

just like small contractor why must low ball main contractor for job. need project to continue to roll cash and loan


then why are there still developers bidding record prices for land even now?

[henryhk]

then why are there still developers bidding record prices for land even now?

If no land to construct housing, then the developer eat grass.....fixed cost overheads, manpower overheads, etc all the costs need to maintain! The worse they make less lor

[tahoo]

Showflat is closed now for renovation, till next week.

Was told by agent that they are going to improve the furnishing.

Anyone can verify?

[dtrax]

tia kong new release star hoots from 1370 psf

[sherrie]

Is it true that prices are lowered?

[Cyberknight]

Is it true that prices are lowered?

Yes. Abt 13xxpsf onwards

[princess_morbucks]

Yes. Abt 13xxpsf onwards

See today's ad!
3 bedder now cheaper than sky vue!
$1267 psf for typical 3 bedder.
Anyone went to look at it?
How's the size of the balcony?

[lionhill]

from Dleedon, to interlace to sky habitat, the lesson learned is that never, never buy new launch from CapitaLand. they will sell much cheaper near top.

next, wait for sky vue to drop?

[azeoprop]

Maybe later this year those high floor units in sky vue will sell at the same price as those low floor units. :D

[Allthepies]

Realise new launch RCR can no longer tahan... cutting prices...

CCR seems holding strong.. V on Shenton, Altez, Skysuite all not cutting price right?

[lionhill]

actually, many developers dropped the prices of their projects now and then, CDL had even lowered their pricing for Echelon for a while. now I guess they are many projects selling lower than their initial launches.

but capitaland is the only one shouting with a loud speaker.
Luckly, it is not in China...

[Singleton]

Realise new launch RCR can no longer tahan... cutting prices...

CCR seems holding strong.. V on Shenton, Altez, Skysuite all not cutting price right?

depends on developers, for those listed here, appears all have different strategies

V on Shenton, some low floors were held back initially, and when released later, looked to be cheaper.

Altez has been selling for a few years, they have STAR buy units on/off with some discounts and if remember correctly, in special occasions they may have given a few% off

Skysuites, a bit confusing, so far no evidence it has lowered prices bec recent sales in lower floors seem more expensive than earlier higher floors.

If all follow SKy habitat, black swan may be coming

[Allthepies]

Any CBD BUC MM giving real discount like Sky Habitat?

Im interested...

sky habitat main issue is their units are over sized because certain someone believe its inhuman to build MM apartment.

[hyenergix]

Looks like nearly a write-off of the project.

[teddybear]

I agree with this someone that it is really inhuman to build MM apartment! I salute him for being upfront and refuse to bow to market pressure!

People who miss Sky Habitat will repent with their newer and more expensive $PSF MM 3BR condo!

Actually the prices are just plainly too high for the majority previously. Sky Habitat bidded price is projected too high. Ultimately, ABSD and TDSR brought people back to reality.

[Kelonguni]

People who choose to work and live in SG are usually very practical. PSF more important than design. So far all those with designs suffer.

the big quantum of the sky habitat does not make her 3BR more spacious than the so called MM ones since the extra area all goes to the two big balconies.

still way better than MM units with balconies, lol.

Read the chinese newspaper today stating the developer has further reduce the price to abt 15% less comparing to initial lauch price. Is this a norm practice fr developers? Im afraid this move will piss off alot buyers who has made the earlier purchase.

[wt_know]

buyer buy and within a couple of months sell at 15% higher, will this piss off the developer where the developer actually can sell 15% higher?

it goes both ways ... developer did not point a gun to buyer to buy
old man said ... "they went in with their eyes wide opened"

True..just that capitaland has developed a reputation as lelong king....people will become more cautious about capitaland new launches in the future because the developer has the tendency to overprice its projects initially, get stuck with mostly unsold units and slash prices subsequently. Now that buyers have seen what the developer is capable of, they will now go in doubly cautious.

[Ringo33]

I think Singapore or even Asian as a society still prefer the more conventional building design which have better ying yang balance.

Designs like Reflection, Dleedon, Interlace etc are just eye sore for fengshui.

Reflection: Leaning tower
Dleedon, Top big bottom small (not stable)
Interlace : Like coffin stack on top each other.

Yes it look nicer than other condo design. But i don't like the colour - white. Look very plain. Not like car white is a nice colour.
For this condo investment is ok, but not for me to stay there becos bishan road always jam during evening. Moreover the junction 8 is not new and small.

[Property insights]

Visited sky habitat on site. Two blocks, block 7 and 9.
Some thoughts...
For a new condo, the walls and facade is already very dusty and accumulating dirt
Some of the units facing inwards face each other, ie no privacy especially for those smaller units. From the sky bridge, can look up at the balconies and can see that those units facing each other have to have curtains drawn perpetually
Balconies are the most shocking feature. For certain units, your main balcony is directly linked to your neighbours balcony. You dont even need to attempt to climb over, you can just walk into yr neighbour balcony, its literally side by side. You can also look into neighbour living room from yr balcony.

Master bedroom very shockingly small, balcony in master bedroom for three bedder is almost same size as room. Living and dining area very small though functional. Master bedroom toilet has standing room only. Bedroom 3 not even possible to put in queen sized bed. I thought capitaland do not want to build mickey mouse units??Developer do not provide fridge washing machine dryer microwave oven nothing. Basically, for such a high psf, it is quite disappointing. Capitaland build great condos such as d leedon and interlace, but sky habitat is very uncharacteristically disappointing.

Gym regular shape, five threadmills, swimming pool at rooftop may be a novelty, but not well kept as it stands. I really cannot imagine how the owners who bought into the project feel, but i would be filled with regret. To those who have not bought and are inking of buying the 200 ought remaining units, i strongly recommend you to go down on site to see the development yourself. If privacy is not high up on your list, this condo will suit you. Otherwise, the balcony designs will shock you.

Cheers

[iwantgizmos]

wow, didn't realise these major flaws till you mention them....
thank for the insights... as for me privacy is the most important thing...
not shiok having people peeking into my apartment...

I personally feel that Sky Habitat is beautiful and is ranked as Top 10 most unique condo in Singapore (http://www.propertyhunt.sg/the-top-10-most-unique-condominium-in-singapore/).
However, I found the price is quite steep.
I think The Panorama (http://www.propertyhunt.sg/the-panorama-condo/) would be a choice for buyers who are looking for more affordable price.
