View Full Version : Eight Riversuites @ Whampoa East Road (United Engineer Group LH 99 Years)
Market is always right ... if really 200 units is way better than R38
Basically 8R is comparable to RR in terms of response
Been trying to say so but many argued taking R38 into comparison. guess R38 sales gonna be stagnant for awhile now

The amenities are actually good for residents. Compared to those integrated with malls where you get expensive and lousy food court, retail shops you hardly patronize. The only "downside" to BK area is the lack of a supermarket. That would complete the list
There is a Seng Siong near the MRT station, probably a 3 mins walk over. If not, there is a huge NTUC at the Geylang Bahru area, just across Bendemeer Rd and a 5-6 mins walk over.
S'pore Flyer/ Marina Bay Sands view is definitely blocked by 3 blks of 40 sty CityLights + Concourse. Should be able to see Sail, ORQ business district areas.
Singapore Flyer and Financial District view I can cfm has. MBS is blocked partial by Citylights...

Was there today during the thunderstorm. Simply spectacular: the rain leaked through the roof and started dripping through the light bulb sockets near the 1 and 3 bedroom models. Looked a bit like someone turned on a few showers in the area. Floor in that area was completely wet and had to be cleaned up the developer's representatives and the cleaning ladies.
The lights then went off. Awesome. Pointed out to the salesperson that construction quality can't be as great as he was plugging; guy just kept quiet.

I thought the 15th floor 2 bedroom at 912k was quite good value, but I was not looking to buy today. Actually, they are very lucky this happened on a quiet Wed afternoon. If it was the weekend, they would have lost a lot of buyers.
Can see sports hub. Fireworks fm national may come from on future national on alternative year.
When agent told me higher floors can see MBS, I was thinking but I don't want to see MBS... :D
Just curious how come this development only 28 pages since its supposed to be quite promising? I pass by the showflat every evening and it seems quiet. Are buyers giving this a miss?:beats-me-man:
:jason: Yup, too good to discuss further and yes, quiet promising with rocket high selling price:samurai-killa: . Maybe buyers drive too fast along the road and miss the project :banghead:

Yeah. I visited the showflat a week ago. I noticed this couple and the guy had this "Get me out of here" expression on him while the agent was energetically making his pitch.
SWAY is right. don't think anyone would buy anything once they watch the showflat leak like the titanic.After the leak, Titanic sank... hmmm... don't think will happen for this project... :D
At least it proved what the quality of this developer's worksmanship standard :turd: . maybe it might not leak for this showroom, but who know after project completed you could see waterfall :rocking-the-decks:

Is this development good? The D!2 location is OK but the actual site sucks. Sandwich between the two busy Bendemeer Road and Serangoon Road and flank by the PIE and CTE and the extremely busy MacPherson flyover.
See review by H88,com; http://www.h88.com.sg/article/Eight+Riversuites+condo+meaders+its+way+into+Bendemeer/
With the high price paid by UE for the site, there are better options.

The decisions the developers made doesn't help too... They chose to include to 3 rows of townhouses that made the grounds so congested. I wouldn't choose to buy this if I'm in the towers. I'll choose a development without low density townhouses that will give me more communal space.:2cents:
Agent asked me to go down showflat to lim kopi and discuss further from where we left off 1 wk ago! Hmmm... business not picking up for this project?
Super congested. Only a small pool to share n a multistorey top storey garden walk. Good location for drivers, only if e roads were as uncrowded as today...

Drove by and saw their ad. The original 590+k was slashed to 560+k. Looks like they are doing some damage control?

That's not too bad for pre-launch. If the rebound in stock market continues, and the gloom in eurozone dissipate, the actual launch should be met by okay sales.
That right but I think even the stock market remain groomy this period of time, property market in SG still stable and climb at a must slower and constant rate only

Usu model shd look more spacious than actual building. So if e model looks cramp, actual building wil b worse.

Just wonder if there is still buying interest amidst all the debt crisis? On one hand, Greece is facing default. On the other, the wall of liquidity may be coming our way.
Wow look like R38 seen much better choice in term of cost, although is much a distance to MRT as compare to 8RS. A one bedder unit at R38 at lowest floor cost around $490k+ with 452sqf and two bedder cost $780k+ from low floor onward with 743sqf, best of all is 999 years compare to 8RS. :scared-1:

R38 facing PIE is noisy from day to night n located so deep in n Ulu..
Facilities small n limited..
So cannot compare..8Rs has it's plus points also.
In terms of rentability,8Rs is definitely more rentable than R38 n it will fetch higher rental also.
In term of rental I think no much different u buy highly price you have to rental higher . Of 8rs is near mrt that the plus point
In terms of rentability,8Rs is definitely more rentable than R38 n it will fetch higher rental also.
Ofcoz if want to compare the porn and con there have alot to say in both project like 8rs is westsun facing ,layout poor ,too squeezed , but interm of price definte 8rs is more exp r38 ,

Rental wont b on par,8RS is definitely more rentable as R38 is located deep deep inside mar thorma rd n not so accessible also..
Talking about west sun,R38 is west facing also on certain stacks..
Layout is subjective,if it's that bad y is 8RS selling so well?
plus point for R38 is the price! its cheap compared to 8RS.No choice they hv to lower it otherwise cant sell at all.
BTW,hv no vested interest in either projects.. :tongue3:
The r38 is cheap because not deep inside is because the land they bought is just 24 million but 8rs the land they bought is 500+ million that y expensive . They have to tell high .

R38 is north south facing
its actually NE n SW facing,some stacks will still get noon sun.
Just like 8RS,only some stacks are west facing. In singapore u wont get entire project that is west facing otherwise d architect will b out of job soon.
when R38 was launched last yr,sales was so bad thats y they hv to lower price n throw in freebies like stamp duty absorbtion to attract people to visit the showflat. I remember being the only 1 in the showflat on a late Thur pm.. n mind u that was b4 cm5.:cheers6:
If u like deep deep location away from amenities next to PIE, R38 will b suitable. N it's cheap compared to 8Rs..
They should not have squeezed the row of strata terrace 26 to 38 right in the middle of the plot, it is blocked in all 4 directions. :doh:
Another pool with "secret garden" theme in place of the strata terrace would have been much better....:47:
:ashamed1: Sales was not only bad for this project but oso on many other project that was launched during that period of time I rem. Either more of fear uncertainness from the global economy crisis from europe. Btw stamp duty absorbtion is all the while there since the day they start selling this project :tongue2:

ya but this was extremely bad compared to the rest..less than 5 units sold during that time,it was real bad for R38 even with FREE stamp duty.:doh: LOL LOL LOL
only later no choice have to lower price to attract buyers..it became cheap.:cheers1:
:47: Lower price, doesn't sound right bcos I too am looking at this project since the soft VIP launch and my friend who was the first few buyers who bough it had check the price recently compare back then and had no changed at all. The only different then and now is the absorber of the stamp duty, back last year it will be reinbused upon TOP but now is fully discounted off from property price directly, that was why there was an jump in the sales.
Best of all this developer is well know for their stubbornness on their price announced if you familiar with this developer.:simmering:

Quick check - these are the prices after whatever discount they give right? Early birds got 5%. I suppose the discounts have been scaled down?
Yah they are the nett price. But this was before the official launch on Sat. So I guess price might have gone up a bit.
If u wonder why the low floor stacks 28 and 29 so cheap, it is because they are facing the strata houses with only about 5m spacing, behind is the multistorey carpark.
:rolleyes:
Does anyone know how tall the new Bendemeer pri school will be?

Actually no need to compare cos R38 is only a small project compared to 8Rs..
So there is no comparison at all cos 8Rs is a big massive project.
Only plus point i see for R38 is the cheap affordable price..
In this case what is your view about 8RS and which is the project in this district that you think can compare to 8RS even journalist / property expert in last weeks Straits Times are comparing 8RS to R38. :47:

8RS is a big condo project 800+ units with full facilities whereas R38 is only 100 odd units apartment status! So how to compare?:D :D
We are not comparing anything just feeling that 8rs 99yr lease project is abit expensive can buy the near by freehold and 999 yr lease project for the amount pay .

Best of all this developer is well know for their stubbornness on their price announced if you familiar with this developer.:simmering:
Actually it is all gimmick lah,now they are just giving an additional 3% discount off the price n they say its stamp duty absorbtion for R38.
eventually, u will still hv to write out a chq to gahmen to pay the stamp duty..
At these prices, how much upside is there left when buyers finally decide to resell? :scared-5:
Lowest floor 2 br already $1,188 psf and 1 br already $1,300 psf... Just a few floors up on the 7th floor, 2 br already $1,409 psf!!! :scared-4:
I wonder how much mid floors and high floors would cost... $1,700 psf? Same league as Sky Habitat?
Heard there is a jump in prices above L15. So $1500-$1600 is a real possibility.
But this is the premium one has to pay for good view. There will be people who will bite at these kind of prices, esp given the large amt of liquidity floating around.
Even for any other project that is selling saying duty stamp absopted, will required the owner to write cheque to pay for the stamp duty during meeting the lawyer time cos duty stamp issued by authority is to owner name and not the developer name on paper, that why duty stamp usually is absopted from the property price directly :hell-hath-no-fury:

Isn't it the same? Like i mentiond,they are giving additional 3% discount to the list price n say its stamp duty absorbtion..so its LPPL..
Since U know it make no different, why need to mention for serving no different at end of the day. Eventually what what all project is doing, even u see developer like FE love to give the most discount but who know how much higher they already mark up the price and discount off. anyway is the final discount price and final $/psf we had to be very careful and beware of. All these are just marketing strategy that all of us already knew. :cheers1:

Was rather quite on Sunday with lots more agents than potential buyers.
With 50% of the units facing south-west sun and the other 50% facing the noisy CTE/PIE MacPherson flyover flanked by two noisy main roads (Serangoon Road and Bendemeer Road); and with many more lower floor units facing the 5-storey mutli-storey carpark within the development, it is hard to find a unit that is good. With prices averaging $1450 psf, it does not make any sense to dip into your pocket for this development.

It is more cramp than a boutique MM.
They should have done more sky facilities on the 14th and 24th floor other than the top floors to increase the appeal.
Anyway standing only 30 floor high, this is dwarfed by the 2 new bto which are 40 floor tall.

Didnt benefit from the sky habitat effect?
Slightly. Main flops are the townhouses (too greedy for foreigners) and multi-storey carpark (cheapskate) that made the development too cramped.
Might be overpriced for this period of time but who know years later when market in future all avarage will be this $/psf soon. :2cents:

That's true. On a positive note, 8RS could potentially benefit from the upgrader demand once the hdb and dbss reach mop. I guess the lifestyle offered by a condo is still different from that of hdb.

You are right! 8RS and the surrounding condos will surely benefit from the effect of DBSS sales, not to mention that the DBSS will be selling past $1mil for sure(that was the most expensive DBSS in Singapore). This area does not belong to NE and it's a totally diff league from NE...

I remember balloting for this in 2007 and actually got a gd ballot ticket then. End up I crippled (temporarily) due to a bike accident in Phuket. So didn't go choose unit.. At that time I recall a 4room unit was slightly above 650k. I guess it will be selling above 1mil once resale door is open.

I think the market will also take reference from the potong pasir developments 1 mrt station away. With those Condo selling at relatively high prices and new launches from GLS in the pipeline, there will be support to 8RS prices.

There is a GLS at Potong Pasir just opened for bidding. Expecting red hot contest for this plot, and don't be surprised if any record is broken in the process. If the selling price is high, price for 8RS should be even higher due to closer proximity to the city area.
Heard that this project comes with multi storey carpark instead of basement carpark? Does this matter?
Actually I prefer multi-storey carparks due to better ventilation and no risk of flooding, will look good if the developer incooperate some green concept on the wall:p
Checked out the show flat just now, 200m to mRT and 3 stops to dhoby ghaut, location seems pretty good.
I personally think with basement carpark, developer can optimizes more space to do more landscaping and better facilities. Basement carpark will enable you to pack directly your block and take a lift up directly to your unit too.
Anyway there good and bad about that and in SG i think govt treat flooding case very seriousily especially it will reflect very poor image of how the ministry and govt manage it.

No basement carpark for this project becoz it is siting on top of the underground MRT.
The plot is longish and carpark run parallel to it's length so walking distance from carpark to each block seems very short though.

So are there many people at the show flat ? Or quiet?
Wonder how the sales so far or still the same as last month? Seen like a lot of ppls still feel that this project a bit over priced and poor layout. Wonder any latest promotion going on for this project ?

Not to forget that 8RS won't suffer the same ill fate. Plot ratio for land to the south of 8rs is much lower, meaning no new developments to block its city view.

Agree with you and another thing the sqf for 8RS 2 bedders are much smaller that why they can sell less then 1mil but if work out in term of $/psf u be shock to see that is so much higher then most project there and considering that is a 99years only. :scared-1:

It's up to individual preference if you don't mind Nin having place of worship at your doorstep or Qing jian developer, etc. Doesn't means 8RS is perfect too, it's matter of personal choice.
My ex school was around potong pasir Nin residences area, it used to be huge plots of cemeteries but now all cleared up. But I still have the creepy feelings when I go there and it could be for me only because I know the history. Perhaps it needs more developments over the next decade so that 人气 is stronger like Bishan. I would prefer riversuites actually and since nearer to city too.
Yup but I think the next developed estate going to be Potong Pasir since so many new BTO and private estate coming up, believe it will be another blasting town next. Have good potential this area. Both stay and investment is good.

You need to walk on the Bendeemeer Rd side turn left to Upp Boon Keng Rd then Right along Kallang Bahru rd. In fact it is at the big bus park/terminal directly opposite the Singapore Casket.
Check Onemap.sg to see 4 yourself. I guess easily 15-20 mins walk.

Hi All
Anybody knows what is the ceiling height? Is it 9 feet (1feet more than HDB?)
The reason I am asking is what floor is needed to clear the opposite HDB, which is 12 story high. If each floor is 1 ft higher, it means 12th floor is enough to clear the opposite block (except for hdb watertank).
I actually went there to look at the actual west sun direction and units orientation too.

Launch price was $1300-1400 psf. Still at that level?

Not as aggressive I feel, maybe mkt dept fail or developer is ok with sale so far
Agree.. what so great about no 8
Should focus on location.. 3 mrt stops to dhoby ghaut or the 5mins drive to town .. One strong theme is good enough
Wonder why UE is not aggressively pushing this.. Not much ad as compared to Olympia for example....
simple, because olympia's location is bad. this is a city fringe project. sooner or later it'll sell out.

think the launch of the sennet would probably boost sales for this one, as there are quite a number of similar attributes for both including pricing, near mrt and rcr, town houses in both projects.................
Now is more like a waiting game and waiting for the next nearby project to launch at a higher price and benefit the sales here. Anyway is just a matter of time sales will be picking up for this project again. :spliff:

I find it hard to understand how on earth Tanah Merah can fetch such high prices. That location is a nightmare for drivers. The short stretch from end of Sims Ave to Singapore Expo can take the same amount of time for one to travel as from Orchard to Yishun. There are traffic lights every 200 metres. I dread driving at that stretch. Comparatively driving around 8 Riversuites is still better and it is much nearer town. So I wonder why people would pay 1400psf for a Tanah Merah location when there are better buys around. Changi airport on its own cannot be a strong factor. There are so many other condos located even closer to Changi.

Still not convincing for me. But even if was, the main reason I would not touch this project is the developer - Fragrance + World Class Land (I do not think this is Far East related). I have yet to see an attractive development developed by these guys. Most of them look like Geylang condos.

it doesn't matter Bedok has so many landed properties and 14k+ of 5rHDB owners ...just look at Bedok Residences huge queue
there is a shortage of MMs of size 4XXsqft in D16 too ... of course if 8RS city view 1br selling at 550k ... I will buy 8RS ... but I bet Fragrance will come out with 398sqft MM

I doubt the landed property owners there will be interested in MMs.
The further away from town, the higher risk for MMs when prices / rental market takes a hit.

Had a walk around the whampoa area last evening. Within 5-10mins walk there are a few Chinese restaurants, zichar, boon tiong kee chicken rice, hawker center, clinics, soya milk place, banks, fast foods, Indian, muslim restaurants.. Shops, etc etc.. and I think the area will develop even more as this development is ready and BTOs are built..

Would proximity to bendemeer pri be a plus or negative? It is super near. Flag raising time will be noisy. Of course it is also convenient for families with kids attending the school.

I always like projects adjacent to school cos they are low rise, so having nice unblocked view.

That location is a nightmare for drivers. The short stretch from end of Sims Ave to Singapore Expo can take the same amount of time for one to travel as from Orchard to Yishun. There are traffic lights every 200 metres. I dread driving at that stretch.
If Im driving from Sims to Expo, I would not be driving down that stretch you mentioned, both PIE and ECP will provide better access...

it is a good deal if you plan to rent to transient workers or tourists ... these tenants won't care about 5m distance to strata housing ;)
it will be gone very soon trust me

Problem is this is not the only starbuy. One level 14 three bedder, with no city view going for 1190 psf. Compared to same level unit facing city, at 1342 psf, it is so much cheaper. Diff between city view and no city view is so much meh???

1190psf is pegged to 8@W subsale price .... it is fair :D

go and check other projects lah ... developers have the right to price any facing at any premium they want
There is no need to pay for city view because you have 4 rooftop areas to enjoy the views.
I wonder which floor has view of the city, over the flatted factories should have view towards the city... Not sure if they are planning any 40 stories BTO though

I think also depending which stack.. tower 6 cityview for example has no west sun at all, not even angled, so should be priced higher.

The land should be zoned industrial so no way they can build 40 storey BTO unless they rezone.

Maybe it's a 28th storey cityview unit, with view of MBS, flyer and so on.

Maybe the foreigners would like them, becos these are the last few new landed properties they can buy (apart from those at sentosa cove). Ura already disallowed such strata landed in condo developments.

Hit affordability bottleneck already lah ... the resistance is around 1450psf because condo family median income including cpf is about 14.5k per month and 5rHDB is about 8.8k per month, so very few HDB upgraders can buy big units, only the 441sqft can move
and then their marketing compared to FEO is really cmi

I feel that this project price is not the total rip off type.
Near mrt and city.
How come the sales so poor?
Is it because boon keng area not popular or is it because surrounded by old estates? I wonder.

So, buyers not just looking at near city?
WT 1400psf still can sell but 8RS can't sell?
Bishan at 1700psf can't sell I understand. But not this one.

Let's focus on the positive :) , no project is perfect for everybody, i will start:
1. 10mins to walk Geylang Bahru MRT (U/C)
2. 5mins walk to Boon Keng MRT
3. 3 MRT stops to Dhoby Ghaut thru NEL
4. 3 MRT stops to Bras Basah thru U/C (DTL?)
5. City fringe and <10mins drive to City
6. Amenties, shops, eateries all around
7. MSCP (somebody hate it but think about it, flood free and right on the edge of each block, so it's just as conveient and dont have to walk for long distance
8. Generally NS facing and minimal west sun, at most at angled. Some stacks have no west sun at all.
9. Low maintenance
10. Unblocked
Wide PSF range.. doesnt mean every unit cost $1400PSF, there are cheaper ones.
UE needs to improve their marketing though..:doh:

Yup yup. One example is SkyHabitat when the opening can see 1st week sold of 138 units then some give up then drop to 110 plus then till now still ard 130 unit sold to date. :banghead:
Maybe for this project selling still bit high based on the current market but after some time when most project are on the high side, buyers will come back to this project again soon :jump-for-joy:

Bro, do u think the Sennet at pp will give 8RS a lift? Heard the Sennet will be going for around same price as 8RS. Surely, there will be a premium to proximity to town?

it will worsen 8RS sales if it is priced the same. 1 more stop to town versus MRT at your door step which will u choose? it takes 5 - 8mins to walk to the MRT station from 8RS. Even being 1 stop further from town, Sennett will still reach town faster by MRT (each stop takes only 2mins on the NEL).
Plus there's so much more upside in potong pasir than boon keng. the upcoming mixed development, planned shopping mall, nearby bidadari estate etc.

PP Potential may take >10 years to realize.
Some people still don't like the idea of former cemetery lands. Bishan for example took decades to gain acceptance.
I actually feels going north crossing the PIE into PP makes a different, it doesn't feels like city fringes anymore.
Based on the current market I don't think is still that bad that Sennet at pp will need to reduce the price or same as 8RS, instead they might take reference with the surrounding FH project which ard selling at $1800/psf. Hmmm look like around $1400-1500/psf might be possible. :scared-5:
