Not sold out yet as at end of June.

Figures (as at end of June) from URA:

Watertown had 49 units left unsold out of a total of 992 units (only 1 was sold in the month of June).

ATT had 53 units left unsold out of a total of 882 units (zero sales in the month of June).

Does URA caveat shows every transaction? What is the time lag between signing and appear in URA caveat?

I think only if the buyer takes a bank loan then the bank will lodge a caveat. That will be a month or so later depending how soon the loan gets approved.

Just curious, why punggol and not sembawang, pasir ris or west cost?? Punggol 21 has been talking for years...and other then the whatever park up coming, I only see traffic jam, accessibility only conveniently thru tpe, and with more and more residential projects be it bro or private coming up, I don't see any help to the situation...:p

No offence but think something needs to be done quick before the situation gets worst...:2cents:

Anyway, parc centros seems to be the one if anyone is to consider living in punggol. :p don't be too happy with some of the open views as in due time, whatever premium u paid for will be gone once more buildings are up.

Punggol is not really very far from town if you consider KPE and NEL. With upcoming mall and facilities, it is the darling of young couples and families. Sembawang and Pasir Ris by road or train is quite far from town.

Think Twinwatefalls EC owners can also smile - by the way, this EC is about 100 % sold - left mainly only PES and Penthouse units.

ECs sales in Punggol has been exceptional - think the ECs appeal to many HDB upgraders in the Punggol area. The raising of the monthly gross income ceiling level for ECs from $10,000 to $12,000 helped pushed sales of ECs.

Yes, I think very soon the supply of hdb will over run the demand and they will have a hard time to sell...if there is no problem to get a flat from bto or spend a bit more for EC, why would they get those 500k plus 91sqm unit....where's the logic? If they can afford that then likely will go for EC.

That is the problem if u need to use so many expressway to get to where u are...pasir ris or sembawang are just some example...if u compare the hdb price there and then some other better estates, u will realise the price is just too high...:2cents:

PARC Centros blazed the trail in private homes sales last week.
More than 370 of the condominium project's 618 units are said to have found buyers. This means that that over 60 per cent of the 99-year leasehold project, released at a $950 psf average price last week, has been taken up.

Word on the ground is that unlike typical mass-market condo launches, it was the project's three- and four-bedders which were the fastest to move - whereas one-bedders have been selling at a slower pace.

The 16-storey condo has one to five-bedroom units in addition to penthouses. Absolute prices start from $550,000 for a one-bedroom apartment. Two bedders are priced from $750,000, while three and four bedders start from $880,000 and $1.22 million respectively.

Market watchers attribute Parc Centros' strong sales to the current popularity of Punggol, especially the project's proximity to the MRT station and future shopping facilities (at the upcoming Waterway Point mall). Most importantly, Parc Centros' $950 psf average price is considered relatively attractive compared with the Watertown condo, which was released in January achieving a median price of $1,169 psf in the initial month, quickly rising to $1,341 psf the following month. As at end-June, 943 of the Watertown's 992 homes had been sold, according to developer sales data released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority.

It is far lah - furthest as can be in Singapore liao - almost hitting the
johore refineries in the northeast. In terms of distance, its analagous to Sungei Buloh in the northwest. But I guess you're right in the sense transportation links are decent. Our govt is keen to build all the housing the northeast while conserving the northwest as farms, nature, and military practice zone. Sembawang is not further from town than Punggol - just transportation links not there.

Just went to kaypoh. Not crowded today. Agent say almost 80% sold.
3BR premium stacks 10 & 17 to be released, 1.05m on average

2BR left two 4th flr units - non pool facing $746k. 15th flr non pool facing costs about $790k

1BR pool facing all sold, non pool facing mostly unsold. Price range 550k-590k for non pool facing 1BR

Rooms are quite small, incl master room. But it's standard nowadays I guess. In my opinion, 3BR compact for home stay is a no-no. No place to store barang barang. End up one bedroom used as store.

Over 60% of Parc Centros sold; location a strong pull

Parc Centros: The project's three- and four-bedders were the fastest to move - WEE HUR

PARC Centros blazed the trail in private homes sales last week.

More than 370 of the condominium project's 618 units are said to have found buyers. This means that that over 60 per cent of the 99-year leasehold project, released at a $950 psf average price last week, has been taken up.

Word on the ground is that unlike typical mass-market condo launches, it was the project's three- and four-bedders which were the fastest to move - whereas one-bedders have been selling at a slower pace.

The 16-storey condo has one to five-bedroom units in addition to penthouses. Absolute prices start from $550,000 for a one-bedroom apartment. Two bedders are priced from $750,000, while three and four bedders start from $880,000 and $1.22 million respectively.

Market watchers attribute Parc Centros' strong sales to the current popularity of Punggol, especially the project's proximity to the MRT station and future shopping facilities (at the upcoming Waterway Point mall). Most importantly, Parc Centros' $950 psf average price is considered relatively attractive compared with the Watertown condo, which was released in January achieving a median price of $1,169 psf in the initial month, quickly rising to $1,341 psf the following month. As at end-June, 943 of the Watertown's 992 homes had been sold, according to developer sales data released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority.

However, Watertown comprises mostly one and two-bedders, and typically smaller units sell at higher psf prices. Watertown and Waterway Point are being developed by a Far East Organization, Frasers Centrepoint and Sekisui House joint venture. Parc Centros is being developed by construction and property group Wee Hur Holdings.

Meanwhile at Flora Drive in the Upper Changi Road vicinity, Koh Brothers is said to have sold more than 170 units at its Parc Olympia condo project as at early yesterday evening. The project has been on the market for over a week.

Koh Brothers released 234 of the project's 486 units in two stages the previous week - 118 units on July 12 at an average price of $820 psf after a 16 per cent early-bird discount, followed by 116 units released on July 15 with the discount clipped to 15 per cent.

Parc Olympia, which will be developed next to the Japanese School, has six blocks of eight storeys and two seven-storey blocks. Meanwhile, United Industrial Corporation has begun selling its 99-year leasehold V on Shenton condo on the former UIC Building site at Shenton Way since Friday to business associates, ex-tenants and minority owners of the site and VIPs.

As at yesterday evening, 90-plus units are said to have been sold out of about 130 released on 10 levels (anywhere from the 17th to 46th floors of the 54-level project). The average price is around $2,200 psf. UIC has closed the showflat, which is at The Gateway on Beach Road, and is expected to re-open it this weekend.

Prive or Twin Waterfalls are about 6 min walk to MRT.

The new EC is not as close- Punggol "central" yes, but walk takes at least 10 min.

Developer- Prive- NTUC. Twin waterfalls-Frasers. Upcoming one-Qingjian.

I think pricing should be in 700-800 psf range.

Yes, the new EC would be further away, though a 10 minute to 15 minute walk is still acceptable (at least for me).

There will be at least 2 more ECs in the future in Punggol if I am not mistaken - 1 south of Twin Waterfalls (besides TPE) and one close to Flo Residence.

yes. the site south of twinwaterfalls will be hot.

my opinion is that prive and twinwaterfalls are the two best EC sites in punggol. with twin waterfalls having the advantage of nicer landscaping and proximity to expressway.

Agree that proximity to MRT and amenities is really key. It's not about resale value. Speaking from experience, it's about your own time saved. No need to take feeder bus/LRT, drive out to buy food/groceries. Over your lifetime, it's a lot of time/effort saved to do other things. Frankly, if I dun have money to buy a condo near MRT/amenities, I would rather buy a HDB than buy a condo near nothing. Me also not agent :)

Don't think Punggol got commercial space in masterplan? I find the density in Punggol very very scary. Like 96000 dwellings competing for one single watertown mall while tampines got 83000 possible expanded to three or four malls.

Tampines is different because of commercial areas in the middle and some outside of residential areas. So it relaxes the space. Ammneties wise, if Punggol can increase proportionately its shopping malls schools and car parks then not so bad. The rest of the non-residential areas are either forest or undeveloped on reclaim lands.

ATT and WT almost sold out in the shortest time.
Now Parc Centros is experiencing the same kind of euphoric success.
There is one common reason to this phenomena - proximity to MRT (WT next to it!).
Like it or not, proximity commands a premium.
On the same note, HDB flats like Water Terraces opp WT will enjoy comparatively tremendous upsides in years to come.

Parc centros is a good development that deserves no criticism. It is ideal and good for families.

Being said, I prefer Mt Sinai.

Aiyo, you could have bought a unit during the preview. Only 880k for 3 bedder compact. Sell off 4 yrs later at 1 mil and use the profit for your FH property.

There are a 2 or 3 premium stacks that are unreleased. mostly 4 br and 3 br premiums.

the last i heard these will command a 3-5% premium over the rest.

Thanks for that. Will go this weekend and if like it, will go for it. I think anything around 1000 psf should be ok. By 2015, definitely will be looking at 1200 psf for resale... which is a good 20% gain. Already vested in ATT which I bought at 900 psf which I think should sell around 11XX psf on TOP in 2014!!!

Twin Waterfalls EC is also quite close to Punggol MRT - it is about 100% sold.

Next one will be the new EC by Qingjian at Punggol Central. Think its about 10 minutes walk to the Punggol MRT. For me, if you can walk to the MRT within 10 minutes (i.e. 1 bus stop away), then its close enough.

The showflat looks ugly & rooms look v small (haiz. all new condos like that). What hideous striped-wood laminate?

I guess biggest "worry" about investing in Punggol is the (i) mega supply coming up, (ii) too many ECs which usually bring down prices of PC and reduce prestige (iii) and recent PSFs downtrend compared to past projects. If the location is tht great, there is always lingering doubts why this project decides to price itself lower than other projects just launched months ago? (iv) JB Pasir Gudang refineries pollution (v) distance from city

Having said that, I think for own stay is not a bad place lah. Who knows maybe the Punggol 21 dream might materialise and Punggol becomes "the place" to be...

Another Punggol EC site up for grabs...

====


THE Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is going ahead with the sale of a contentious plot in Dairy Farm Road but has reassured residents the development will be in keeping with the area.
The site, along with another in Punggol, were both launched for sale yesterday and could yield 950 new private homes in all.
In response to queries, a URA spokesman said yesterday it has 'stipulated the necessary urban design guidelines in the land sales conditions to ensure compatibility with the surrounding low- and medium-rise developments in the area'.
'For example, the development's building height will be controlled at five to 15 storeys and the developer is required to provide lush landscaping within the required green buffers as well as the planting strips. The developer is also encouraged to provide roof gardens,' the spokesman said.
URA last month announced several changes to the building plans for the site after nearby residents wanted to stop the sale to preserve a forest there.
A proposed commercial property next to the site will also be relocated elsewhere.
The 17,546 sq m Dairy Farm Road site - slated for a private condominium - is fairly attractive, being near several schools and the future Hillview MRT station.
The development - able to yield about 390 units - will enjoy 'relatively unblocked views' and tranquillity, said Mr Png Poh Soon, Knight Frank's head of research.
Experts expect up to 10 bidders for the site, with the top bid falling between $198 million and $238 million, or between $500 and $600 per sq ft per plot ratio (psf ppr), respectively.
'There are few new launches in the area and there could be strong interest in the site... The estimated selling price could be at least $1,100 to $1,200 psf,' said Mr Lee Sze Teck, Dennis Wee Group's senior manager of research and consultancy.
Both the Upper Bukit Timah and Punggol sites have 99-year leases.
Both sites are on the confirmed list of the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme for the second half of the year. A total of about 7,060 homes will be launched under the GLS in the second half.
Property consultants said the plot at Punggol Way could attract strong interest. It is slated for an executive condominium (EC) which can yield about 560 units.
Up to 10 bids, with the top bid between $182 million and $212 million, or $300 to $350 psf ppr,are expected for the 18,748 sq m site.
Mr Png noted that it is the last EC site under the GLS programme for the second half of the year. It is near Punggol MRT station and expressways.
'The other five EC sites that were previously sold this year are located farther from MRT stations,' he said. The site is also near waterfront facilities like the Punggol Waterway Park.
Demand for EC units - a public-private housing hybrid - is expected to remain healthy as the segment serves the so-called sandwich class of home buyers, Mr Png said.
Mr Lee said EC launches within the last two years have seen strong sales. Still, he warned that the latest plot could be noisy being so near the Tampines Expressway.
The spread of launches in Punggol also means that demand might have reached saturation point, making developers more cautious with their bids.
Mr Lee said the estimated selling price of the future EC should be $750 to $800 psf.
The tender for the Upper Bukit Timah site will close at noon on Sept 11 while that for the Punggol plot will close on Sept 4.

According to prosecutors, from at least the financial crisis in 2008 and years thereafter, Libor was rigged lower. This caused municipalities and schools to receive many billions less than they should have in interest payments. That may have forced unnecessary layoffs, school closings, and cutbacks in public services. It may have also forced municipalities to raise property taxes or other taxes to compensate for the shortfall.

Singapore equivalent is SIBOR rigged lower, to show financial system is sound.
so after investigation, SIBOR will be higher.

What do you think?

My current company policy is staff loan will be based fixed with floating Sibor + SOR combo.

With record low interest rates, a new class of buyers has emerged. They are the group who can afford the lower monthly payments due the low interest rates. However, should interest rate move north, they will certainly be in trouble.

i actually do like pool units in places where there is no view. but pool units has to be low floor to maximise the 'pooliness'. pes units near the pool are actually quite nice, provided its not the main pool.

high floor units to me, are good in only very selected places in spore- those with truly unblocked city or sea views only.

agree. haa ..'pooliness' i like the term. high floor facing pool - it will just look like a puddle by the street to you.

PES by main pools wil be quite noisy i suppose esp when the kids are invading the pools in droves, parents shouting for them not to go too deep blah blah blah.

i think high floor with unblocked views (non main road facing) are good enough for me, nowadays condos are built so close to one another (check out pasir ris!!) and to buildings, HDB that its getting harder to get unblocked view.

Yes being close proximity to MRT (Plus other future amenities like Watertown shopping mall) is a very strong factor. Another strong factor is that the psf of Parc Centros is relatively low for a PC close to the MRT.

Those who bought Parc Centros are likely to be HDB upgraders from surrounding areas and bought for own stay (sales of the bigger units are much better than the smaller units if I am not mistaken). To them, living in the Punggol area and a project surrounded by HDB is not a problem.

Near Punggol MRT Station, Wee Hur Holdings is said to have found buyers for about another 100 units at the Parc Centros condo last week, the project's second week on the market.

This means that about 480 units in the 99-year project have been sold to date. Buyers are predominantly Singaporeans. The average price is $950 psf.

Wee Hur has yet to release the last 90-odd units in the 618-unit project. The 16-storey condo has one to five-bedroom units in addition to penthouses.

Absolute prices start from $550,000 for a one-bedroom apartment. Two bedders are priced from $750,000, while three and four bedders start from $880,000 and $1.22 million respectively.

Analysts have credited Parc Centros' strong sales to the current popularity of Punggol, especially the project's proximity to the MRT station and future Waterway Point mall.

In addition, Parc Centros' $950 psf average price is considered attractive compared with the Watertown condo, which was released in January and achieved a median price of $1,169 psf in the initial month, rising to $1,341 psf in the following month.

By end-June, 943 of Watertown's 992 homes had been sold, government data showed. Watertown comprises mostly one and two-bedders and typically smaller units sell at higher psf prices.

officially, any projects without tennis court are classified as apartments. Those with tennis court then are classified as condominium. That is why even hot projects like bedok residences and katong regency are classified as apartments on URA. Anyway how many residents in singapore actually really know how to play tennis :cool:

Sorry mate, nothing to do with Tennis court. Even if boutique development choose to give up mini swimming pool to build a tennis court, it will still be classified as flat or apartment status. Please refer to URA website for FAQ.

Someone says before, the difference betw apartment and condo is one with club house and the other is w/o. I.e common facilities.

But in web sites, The main difference is in land size. apartments tends to be smaller than condo in land size.

The total land area of the development should be at least 4,000sq.m. or larger;

Anyway, what's the fuss over it?

i believe they go by no. of units in the development. Above 200 units or something they call it condo. below which they call it apts. in both cases, it doesn't matter if there's a tennis court or not.

no lar xan is correct.

look at casa cambio / guillemard edge. why did they sell so well? Rare to find such new projects with freehold condo status these days. the ENTIRE Geylang only has got 3 Condo status projects.

Main Differ between Condo Status and Apartment Status are:

• Condominium requires a larger land area of at least 4,000 sqm (approx 43,000sqft).

• There is usually more generous provision of communal and recreational facilities in condominium developments. Under the existing regulation, the site coverage for condo projects should not exceed 40%. As such, more space is dedicated to communal facilities as compared to an "Apartment" status development.


hope this clears up the differences. The main point is the site coverage can only be at max 40% of the total land area, after the site has a min of 4000sqm.

Just a random thoughts, Heron bay(HB) is now 90% sold. Water bay (WB) not sure but heard not that gd although they came out earlier.
Compare location WB is around 10 mins walk to MRT and HB is 15 - 20 mins walk to MRT / LRT.
Pricing almost the same. Both are EC.

My thoughts is that HB advertising / marketing strategy is better. I heard of this project way before it is launch. The PCK adv is very catchy also.

What are yours opinions on this ?

NO_7
31-10-12, 12:46
Heard the EC cap on 30% for 2nd timer is applicable for 1 month only, thereafter is no limit. Which means WB second booking date after 1 month look set to be a sellout.
