is ripple bay or palette a better investment?
Location/surrounding/view wise...definitely Ripple, incl. unique factor.
As for Sea Esta; still lots of unknown at this point...layout/price wise, further more; MCL (Ripple) vs Hoi Hup (Sea Esta) :rolleyes:

Useable space is the same as those from the 2nd/3rd floor onwards. The PES for 2 Br takes up between 334 or 355 sq ft in addition of the built in 764/ 775 sq ft built in space. My perception is ground floor unit can be bought in any condo, it's the sea view which I find it harder to secure and it's $ in other coveted district

The sky garden only has very limited sea view (out of a corner only). The best are still Block 10, 12 and 16!

Start to built? We don't even know which contractor will be awarded the deal by MCL. My family pass by JLB as we attend weekly services. Told my wife, the days when the trees nearer to JLB within the development is chopped down is the day we know construction is going to start. Don't know need to wait for donkey years? Seastrand sold since last year still digging the ground. Will not be surprised Hoi Hoi being a developer/main con for the smaller 300+ devt SeaEsta may TOP earlier.

There are people who currently stay in PC bought RB too, not necessary HDB upgraders only. Was talking to my friend who bought seastrand 1 bedder at 950psf and he accept the fact that RB average price is cheaper.

Anyway, just to share some thoughts on our Ripple Bay project. I've heard and seen from many others (including forum posters) that Ripple Bay is in an ulu (i.e. out-of-the-way or remote) location, that it isn't worth buying for stay or investment. I beg to differ because don't they realise the following?
1. Pasir Ris is next to Tampines, which is the Regional Centre of the East (where many banks and malls congregate), and is near Changi Airport, EXPO and the gigantic Changi Business Park (which will be expanded even further), and contains a highly popular beach park, an assortment of resorts plus Downtown East (which will be revived in its Water Theme Park). To me, "ulu" refers to places like Lim Chu Kang and Jalan Ulu Sembawang, and definitely not the hip and happening Pasir Ris!
2. We shouldn't "judge distance by its cover" - I live in Pasir Ris and work in Telok Blangah. I take 30 min to drive home when there is no traffic jam. So one day when I had an appointment to meet someone in Eunos/Ubi area, I thought since I will need 30 min to reach home, reaching Eunos would take probably only 20 min since it is LESS THAN HALF THE DISTANCE from Pasir Ris. But guess what? I took 45 min instead! Why? This is because after exiting from ECP into Still Road, there were lots of traffic lights that I had to encounter with before reaching my destination in Eunos/Ubi! In other words, Pasir Ris may be 30km from Telok Blangah, but it is only 30 min away from it. Eunos may be 12 km from Telok Blangah but it is 45 min away!
3. Singapore's total land area (including all supposedly "ulu" areas) stands at 710 sq km. Ask a New Yorker what is meant by "being far" to travel within Singapore when New York City itself (at 783.8 sq km) is already bigger than the entire Singapore island! And if we talk about the New York Metropolitan Area, it is a whopping 30,670 sq km. And I am not even mentioning the State of New York (at 141,300 sq km). This just shows that when a city/small country grows and expands economically, there will be no more "ulu" places because each Regional Centre will eventually overlap with one another, forming a metropolitan, just like New York does.
Any thoughts?
I love living in Pasir Ris too because it is a relaxed environment, has decent amenities and is convenient (except when I have to go for reservist in the West!)
I only wish the government will stop releasing so much land for GLS in Pasir Ris at the same time! Besides depressing home prices for existing owners, it will change the character of the place.

that's the only way they have to cool the market, by releasing more supply. there isn't abundance of land to sell elsewhere other than Choa Chu Kang/Bukit Batok and Punggol.

If Ripple Bay is selling at $1,400psf, would you still buy? If Sky Habitat is selling at $1,400 psf, would you buy? Why? It's all relative to the price that you are paying.
It is also relative to what you have bought. Imagine if you have paid for D1 999LH unit less than this just 3 years ago. Will you buy SH or even RB?

We stay in pasir ris 4room flat. My older brother has moved out and I am moving out in 2014 when my pasir ris bto is ready. My parents do not need such a big flat. We are not that rich but through some good financial planning my parents manage to own and sold a condo unit for about 1m which is enough to clear loan plus afford a one bedroom unit at ripple bay to stay. The hdb will be used for passive income for retirement.
My point is really depend on your motive for buying. For us, we like staying in pasir ris so ripple bay with its price was a natural choice for my parents.

Pasir Ris is becoming way too crowded with EC and condos popping up all over. There goes the peace...
Can be summed up in 5 words.

No offence and I know you definitely got way more assets than me but is funny you should say that seeing as our plans is to try stay near to our parents once we move out hence remaining in pasir ris.
About pasir ris being too crowded I can't disagree with you having been staying here for a long time. But you can say the same for everywhere else in Singapore surely?
Actually we must understand one phenomenon, which many people fail to see. Consider the price between a 50" TV vs a 52" TV. If their prices are of marginal differences, it is worth buying the larger TV. For example, if they are $2,000 and $2,300 respectively, it is still fine. But what if the 52" costs $3,500? See the proportion disparity?
Coming back to the property market scenario: Both Ripple Bay and Waterfront Isles are 99-yr LH; both are non-walking distance to MRT and both have simplex penthouses (PH) facing the sea/reservoir.
But a Ripple Bay sea-facing simplex PH at 2045 sqft is around $2m and yet a Waterfront Isles reservoir-facing simplex PH (intrapolated at 2045 sqft) is at a whopping $3m!
The question then is: Are you willing to pay $1 million more to be a few km closer to town, bearing in mind of the issues I raised in my earlier post?

No, dont be mistaken my boyboy. I am saying u r doing the right thing, and policy makers need to realise that going forward, family nucleus is an outdated concept. Instead they should place more weigh behind living near parents. And to make the hdb asset work hard for u is also wise, hdb has highest yield. So better do it fast before policy changes again to pose more risk.
About the asset qn, not related to this topic but rather the bachelor/bachelorette of the year 'contest' i am running.... A lot of forummers here super rich, so the criteria a bit high, no offense to you nor any self reference on my part.

Invalid comparison. Waterfront series has upcoming DTL station within walking distance.

Ever considered waterfront series. But few cons held me back:
1. DTL is not the main line (transit line)whereas EW line is easy to travel to central. Pop into free shuttle to Pasir Ris MRT and u r on your way:D
2. Bedok Reservoir Road is rather narrow, prone to accident for cars turning
in or out of their PC.
3. Limited facilities.
4. Too many PC surrounding the reservoir liao:scared-4:
Just my peronal opinion.;)

MCL land does not go for upmarket or high class segment. they go for reasonable price reasonable material/quality. if wi gives high class material then their pricing is fine. everything has a price tag.:D

My mistake, misunderstood what you meant.
Actually for the family nucleus thing, hdb should consider building duel key just like private sector or ec. Of course there will be possibility of abuse such as pp rent out the extra unit instead of letting their parents stay but in the long haul it could encourage young couples to consider staying with their parents. At least that's what I think will be more effective. Let's see.
Invalid comparison. Waterfront series has upcoming DTL station within walking distance.
My 4th brother bought Waterfront Isles because of the unblocked reservoir view for most of its rooms at the expense of being very far from even the future MRT line (Bedok Reservoir). To be precise, it is two bus-stops away (i.e. if the bus-stop outside Waterfront Isles is Stop 1, then the stop at the future Bedok Reservoir station isn't even Stop 2, but Stop 3), plus some walking from Stop 3 to the station.
When we talk about being within walking distance to the MRT, that usually refers to 300m or less. Look at the surrounding map. If you say Bay Water is near the MRT station, you are absolutely right. I've considered WaterFront Key because it is rather near it too. But when it comes to WaterFront Waves, I am a bit hesitant because there is some considerable walking to the station (even if we use the nearest rear gate). And when we talk about the even further WaterFront Gold, it is already way out. So who would dare to claim WaterFront Isles is near the MRT?
By the same token, Ripple Bay isn't of walking distance to the nearest MRT, though it does have the convenience of having a direct feeder bus (right outside it) that will take us to Pasir Ris MRT, the stop on the main trunk E-W MRT line. And early birds of Pasir Ris can vouch that they can always find a seat and doze off from this 1st station. Tampines residents, on the other hand, have to stand most of the time.
Moreover, there is a promised free shuttle to the MRT for the first year; subsequent years will be subject to Management Committee's decision. And the monthly maintenance is only $280 even for the largest penthouses.
So back to my original question, is the difference of one million dollars worth the difference between a full unblocked sea-view simplex Penthouse at Ripple Bay and a full unblocked reservoir-view simplex Penthouse at WaterFront Isles of similar floor size, whereby both are 99-year LH and both aren't of walking distance to the nearest MRT, present or future?
And under normal traffic conditions, I challenge that a drive from Ripple Bay to town would take a shorter time as compared to a drive from WaterFront Isles to CBD. Look at the map and you'll know why.
I am sorry, but if you use onemap.sg, you will realise that WFK is less than 150m from the future MRT, while WFG is less than 400m (5min's walk?). And the WF series are less than 1 min's drive to the nearest access to PIE.
Bedok Reservoir Rd may not be a very wide road but it is seldom congested. In fact, many cars love to speed there and ended up with several fatal accidents in the past =(

No need to see. Been there quite few times to visit showrooms. Few near misses especially near Sheng Sheong area and turning out from HDB besides waterfront isles .... . some blind spots here & there. Rather risky if you are not familiar with the road. Is good if they have constructed the filtering lane at your condo. Happy for you:D

Yes, I am exactly using onemap.sg. And it isn't accurate because WFI isn't even depicted there! You'd need to use www.streetdirectory.com (http://www.streetdirectory.com/) to see where it is. You mentioned WFK and WFG (and maybe WFW), but not WFI. The issue at hand now is about WFI, not the others. We must also not forget about where the accessible points (such as the exact locations of the back gates of condos and entrances/exits of MRT stations) are. My 4th brother who bought WFI complained of the non-walking distance even to the future Bedok Reservoir MRT. When he took others (his in-laws, my mum, my other brothers) there, NONE of us would want to walk that kind of distance to the MRT. All would say, "My goodness! Why don't you buy Bay Water or WFK or at least WFW? WFG is already somewhere I won't want to walk to (the MRT), your WFI is even worse!"
Please note however that only agents attempting to sell WFI will claim that is is within walking distance to the future MRT!
As for the Bedok Reservoir Rd traffic - it has been horrendous! My wife and I were viewing a reservoir-facing WFW unit and I almost wanted to buy it because of its exceptional view (and not too far from future MRT). But I was cautioned by her in terms of its heavy traffic with lots of heavy construction vehicles coming from the Ubi side!
And PIE is more susceptible to jams than ECP does! Why? Pure logic. PIE has entrances and exits from two sides (its north and its south), but ECP has only 1 side of it. So Ripple Bay to town via ECP is usually more smooth than PIE is!
No need to see. Been there quite few times to visit showrooms. Few near misses especially near Sheng Sheong area and turning out from HDB besides waterfront isles .... . some blind spots here & there. Rather risky if you are not familiar with the road. Is good if they have constructed the filtering lane at your condo. Happy for you:D
No need happy for me, I m not vested in any of the reservoir projects, just speaking impartially :D :cheers1:
Just noted that it is 3 bus-stops (i.e. Bus Stop 1, Bus Stop 2, Bus Stop 3 and then Bus Stop 4) instead of 2 if we don't want to do much of walking from Waterfront Isles to the future Bedok Reservoir MRT station. And I ain't sure if there are bus numbers that would turn right from Bedok Reservoir Rd into Bedok North Ave 3 (where the MRT will be). Maybe there are some, but the rest would go straight eastbound.

Sorry my bad. I refer to WFW 150m away from the future MRT. WFI would be less than 500m if cutting through the HDB and walking along the canal. Anyway as I me toned, I m not vested in any of these WF projects, neither am i a supporter for them, just here to join in the fun and discussion :D
So back to my original question, is the difference of one million dollars worth the difference between a full unblocked sea-view simplex Penthouse at Ripple Bay and a full unblocked reservoir-view simplex Penthouse at WaterFront Isles of similar floor size, whereby both are 99-year LH and both aren't of walking distance to the nearest MRT, present or future?
And under normal traffic conditions, I challenge that a drive from Ripple Bay to town would take a shorter time as compared to a drive from WaterFront Isles to CBD. Look at the map and you'll know why.
Instead of comparing with WFI to justify your purchase of Ripple Bay, you should compare what $2M can get you, including condos next to MRT or even FH landed.

Maybe can consider Archipelago, it's on the less congested part of Bedok Reservoir and defiinitely shd have less congestion, access to PIE, and also Bartley flyover and Pasir Ris via courts/Ikea. :)
My mistake, misunderstood what you meant.
Actually for the family nucleus thing, hdb should consider building duel key just like private sector or ec. Of course there will be possibility of abuse such as pp rent out the extra unit instead of letting their parents stay but in the long haul it could encourage young couples to consider staying with their parents. At least that's what I think will be more effective. Let's see.
Dual key... Might be still too near for comfort?
Nothing to stop them ring ir door bell 10x a day... Asking u eat already? Bathe already? Hows the little ones????

No worries; we all have fun discussing and throwing in ideas!

Exactly. We did a thorough search on landed ppty and condos near MRT that cost $2m. My wife said all are garbage. Period for me. It is my 4th brother who compared my imminent purchase (then) with his that mine was completey worthwhile in view of similiarity in many aspects but a full million dollars in difference.

how to compare penthouse @ ripple bay to WFI penthouse ... u know FEO is a sucker for pricing penthouse right? And you can negotiate one lah
1. First of all if you buy penthouse in D16/D18 sea view or reservoir view, you probably are not an investor but someone who wants just to enjoy life ... the ultimate investor will not buy WFI penthouse, they will go for 3 or 4 X 1brs instead ... someone actually bought the entire block of WFI one bedders for investment u see :)
2. If you can afford a penthouse, don't tell me you will take bus to MRT or walk ... of course drive lah, what is 100k car compared to 2m condo?
3. Distance to MRT below 500m is definitely ok AS LONG AS there is a covered link-way or through the HDB / shopping mall. The key problem is hot sun and rain so 400m that has covered path all the way is going to be better than 200m without shelter at all ... that's why if you go to WFW/WFG/WFI forum they keep talking about whether there will be a covered link-way along the canal ...
So just enjoy your penthouse ... forget about your bro comparision
Heard no MM or 2 bedders sea facing units, only 3/4 bedders. If that is the case, 6 stacks RB 2 bedder sea facing are good buys. Will know in few weeks time.
Sea Esta site plan 2BR no seaview at all. Those who bought Ripple Bay 2BR with seaview strike gold. Value has gone up already.:jump-for-joy:
Wow, like that my eldest brother rugi because he was almost wanting to buy a 2-bedder Ripple Bay (full sea-view), Level 12, at about $800k. But because it was going to be his 3rd ppty if he were to buy it, he was put off by the additional stamp duty!

You are right about investment would be on smaller units and not PHs. Anyway my 4th brother, when buying his WFI unit, said Far East Org was very stubborn for any price negoitation in deduction. So in the end he had no choice but to buy at the publicised price!
Hi acosean
I am one of those that almost bought the 5 bedder. Can I assume after speaking so extensively, u bought a 5 bedder simplex with sea view? If so , I would be grateful if u reveal the nett purchase price ? I am very curious if the caveat 2million is before or after the miscellaneous developers discounts

Ripple not start construction yet ?
Showroom still on site. Dun think it will start so soon.
Are you trying to sell or trying to buy?
If sell within first year of purchase; have to pay hefty 16% seller stamp duty and this progressively decreases over the next few years; zero after the 4th year I think.
The 1st year of purchase means the year the condo TOP?

Yup that is how i understand too. The impact of the Additional Stamp Duty is lesser when nearer to TOP or after, assuming the construction takes 3 years.

Sea view plus Pulau Ubin greenery view. Can also see some scattered small kelongs. Sometimes, there are ships passing by and water sport activities. Definitely better than some boring reservoir or river view or tiny waterway. More interesting than pool view.
Sometimes got ship. Finally RB started work. Got to catch up with the other 3 plots. :D

You can have good side-by-side comparison of the 4 projects at Jalan Loyang Besar by accessing the Street Directory Singapore website http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_57126/travel_site_153784/ You'll see that Ripple Bay is the largest development with the best spread out concept; not as cramped as the other 3 projects.

Among the big 4 at JLB, Ripple Bay is the biggest project and also the slowest in progress. :)
In my humble opinion, it has the best landscape amongst the 4 at drive 3.
I also like the communal area at the top. It gives everyone a chance of penthouse view:)
Just curious, why do you feel Ripple Bay has the best landscaping among the Big Four? I thought all 4 are equally good? The only advantage Ripple Bay and Sea Esta have (over the rest) is that both have direct seaview units?

Each of the four has their own charm lah. I am giving layman opinion:D
My opinion was base on the impression I get when I look at the showroon model.
So may not be true until the actual building is done.
But bigger land size does give Ripple bay more room for creativity in the landscapping and facility loh.
Those big entrance at each building look majestic and the layout of the building make the landscape look more spacious
Just my two cents worth.:)
I see. I think you meant Ripple Bay has more facilities, such as 2 pools, beach volleyball court, floating hammocks and other water features. Yes, more land would give it more room for such variety of items. Also, because it has more units, the monthly maintenance cost is kind of spread out among more households, making it more affordable.

Not too sure, I think it'd be better for you to contact the agent directly to find out exactly what the few remaining units are.
Any idea are the ph units still available?
Don't think so.....we were looking for high floor unit in feb 2013 but the agent told us only 2 high floor unit near the Carpark entrance left, soon it were sold because of the cooling measurement......
We were lucky to get a mid floor unit at Blk 10 before the cooling measurement start....I think the left over now are mostly lower floor sea facing unit (but unable to see the sea because of the low floor)
Based on what some of you have shared, I expect receiving the payment notice for the next 10% very soon (perhaps even sometime next week), since mine is also at Blk 10. I assume we can foot it by using a combination of cheque and CPF (if I want to quickly work towards repaying the loan to be less subject to SIBOR changes).
Any idea if the transaction is to be done at the lawyer's office, and also both spouse and myself need to be present?

Thanks, Goodhouse! Just noted the signboard next to RB that says expected date of completion is 26 apr 2015, so there is no delay. In other words, it is 1 yr 10 mths left!
Like what many of you have said, now that the foundation is up, the storeys will be up quickly. The guard at main entrance told me at most it is 15 days of delay.
I also noted that now there are more openings at RB's hoarding openings that allow photoshoots of its interiors at various angles.

Yes, once the foundation is up, the rest will be fast, I've seen it happening on SeaStrand, Belysa, Watercolours and those at the CDL cluster:)
I think six month down the road, you will see RB at least 6 to 7 storey high:D
Really? Is the typical time period between the foundation (first 10%) and concrete up (next 10% payment) about a year?

But this is my general observation on those development lor.
Once foundation done, the building grow like the bean sprout:D

Heard from friends in construction sector that build up 1 floor in 14 days is achievable depending on how aggressive is the developer

is it true 26 apr 2015? That's 1 year before the TOP date on the contract.
Very good news!

When I wanted to drive over just now at noon to see if I could collect the Blk 10 model, I had to make a U-turn because for the first time in Singapore's history, the PSI level hit 401, which is in the VERY HAZARDOUS region!

No lelong? But I saw about $40000 discount of the list price on the transaction in March and May on same level , same type of sea facing unit as mine..

I think you are over worried. Don't see any point MCL would give discount of 40,000 on a unit similar to one that they sold 40000 higher 2 months ago. Are they desperate to sell? Not at all for a development TOP in 2016. There must be some differences between the two units that cause the price difference. The market has little sign of going south. So thumb of rules is the earlier you buy, the cheaper. Unless the development is really damn lousy no one would buy it, then developer will start to give discount. Hehe, btw if you bought at early Jan, you saved lots of $$ on the ABSD, isn't it?

The discount must be given to the developer's relatives. Did any law said developer cannot give discount directly?
Just noted that for those who purchased the 2 blocks facing Seastrand(Blk 2 or Blk 4) - if they are level 4 and above -will have a beautiful pool view of Seastrand! And it creates an illusion that those pools are part of Ripple Bay!

On the signboard outside RB, it says completion is 26 Apr 2015. But the MCL site says expected TOP is Q3 2015 (Jul to Sep). Which means the developer gives itself up to 5 mths of allowance (after completion) for TOP?
Also, based on historical practice (for those of you who had experience), before TOP (but after completion), would they allow us to enter to have a glimpse of our unit (though we can't get the key to start moving in)?

Unlikely, for safety reason.

i walked past entrance to rb construction site that day and i saw on the board
outside expected date of completion of project was april 2015:spliff2: dunno true or not:confused:
Definitely true. MCL's appointed law firm says the delay is at most 14 days (from 26 Apr 2015), after which there is hefty penalty from the construction firm to the developer (calculated on a per-day basis).
But this isn't relevant. This is because Completion and TOP are two different things altogether. When the construction firm declares "completion", the developer will then get its various engineers (Civil & Structural, M&E, Quantitiy Suryeyor, etc.) to certify the various aspects of the building. Anything falling short of compliance of standards or requirements need to be rectified. Meanwhile, all the necessary legal proceedings for handing/taking over between the construction firm and the developer will also take place.
Thus the projected TOP for RB is Q3 of 2013, which can be as late as Sep 2015. But because the original stipulated TOP is Apr 2016, we can't doing anything even if we get our keys only in Apr 2016.

tks for the clarification....:spliff:
Just noted that the distance between Ripple Bay's sea-facing blocks are 300m away from the sea, and the width of sea (before reaching Pulau Ubin) is 2,000m. Thus we the sea view is near.
In contrast, when I viewed the promotional video on Vue8, I noted the sea view is very far with only a thin layer of sea before reaching Ubin.
Upon measurement, I then realised that the closest sea view blocks of Vue8 are double its length (i.e. 600m) from the sea. Thus it explains the difference.
Countdown to Completion: 1 Year & 7 Months!

Too near the sea is not good, thunderstorm will be damm loud.
Better to be distance from sea.
Most people want sea view, peace and serenity....don't have to be near the ocean.

Where got? According to some observers, Ripple Bay is "still piling". Sea Horizon seems to be faster than Ripple Bay!
The latest update is RB is still digging its underground car park. From far, it looks as though RB is still in its 'piling state' as compared to the other 3 projects in the Big Four.
