Starting a new thread on Riversails as it is about to be launched (VIP preview next month).
You can go to the following website for more details:
http://riversails.wordpress.com/site-plan/
Some information about the development:
(1) Site Area: About 24,620 sq m or 265,007 sq ft
(2) Tenure: 99 years with effect from 7 Dec 2011
(3) Estimated TOP: 30 Sep 2017 (not sure how accurate is this - 5 years
away from completion - that's a long time!)
(4) Total Units: 920 units (12 Blocks of 18 storey condominium blocks)
(5) Types of Units - 1 to 4 Bedrooms. (Penthouses: 2 to 4 bedrooms).
In terms of facilities, think can rival Parc Olympia. Lots of facilities for kids especially (e.g. Minature Golf, Kids Spa, Tree House Playground, Flying Fox, Water Swings, Paddle Boats, Jungle Gym, Mini Theater, Climbing Cubes, etc)

So so location only good for those who drive as KPE is just 1 junction away.

Pardon me, plot ratio means what ah? Is lower better? Means less dense?
ya, your understanding is correct, lower is better

but anyway, price is the key, if riversails psf 5% lower than olympia, will be a good buy
Seriously? 920 units? Wow. It is like a small HDB neighbourhood liao.

Not surprising that the developer want to "pack" in as many units as possible to maximise revenue / profit.
bros,
pls visit our website to get updated

WOW! 920units on a 2ha plot is likely gonna be very cramped!
There is a sky lounge like riversound opposite the road.

:doh:
The 2 + 1 bedder size decent at 947sqft. Many other recent project smaller than that. 3+1 bedder 1184sqft plan not accurate. The bed rooms will be very small given the big balcony that stretches across living, dinning n study area. But overall squarish. Good.
They might have some problems of selling this unless their psf is really low.
Their 2 bedders 850sqft - 893sqft how to compete with those 753sqft 2 bedders in riversound in terms of quantum? Most probably they will price it at around 650k-750k for the 2 bedders making their psf quite low.

Maybe this will be the critical spoil market development. Launch at 700psf, sink boathouse, silence riversound and shoot down heron bay.....only riversails shall cruise ahead.

Site Area: 265013 sq ft (I think slightly bigger than Casa Merah or Waterfront Isle 230ksqft ) but it has 920 units compared to CM/WFI 5XX units

I guess the advantage of such design will be much lower monthly maintance costs. :D
Reminds me of Luxurie... also very congested. :rolleyes:
looks like the river view would be the preferred choice as all the 3-4 bedders all facing there.
Well at least most of the 1-2 bedders can get pool/water view, which is less of the case for other developments.

Please lah, Casa Merah/WFI 5XX units 230ksqft, Caspian 240ksqft 720 units, A Treasure Trove Site area: ~296298 sqft and 8XX units, this one 260ksqft 9XX units ... it is stretching too much
ATT/Caspian are also 17/18 floor height I think, is already so congested, this one will be like Hong Kong standard, I suspect the site plan is totally drawn not to scale

Hdb on its west (including MSCP), hdb on the east (after Upper Serangoon Road). "river" is north of the project and beyond that, road noise from buangkok drive but that's manageable for now until the rest of the area is further developed.

Probably one of the worst choice to buy a condo. The only reason if one can even think of buying is the price. Location is crappy and super crammed.

That is not river lay. That is just a monsoon drain. On the east is the actual Serangoon river, but there is a HDB BTO just beside the PCN.

Everything has a price. If the location or design is poor,then the price must compensate...that is Economics. So any project can be sold. Marketing and perception also important. Look at Far East Organisation, their marketing is first class.

I agree, Far East is just in a class of its own. I still wonder how they sold Watertown for 1200 - 1400 psf... even higher than some of the east coast and bukit timah condos. For Riversails, if priced below 800psf, all HDB upgrader's eyes will lit up and will take the plunge. At the end of the day, it's still a condo.

Yes, there is an HDB coming up just opposite Rivesails, on the river side. I live in Punggol and jog past the area very often. So I guess any view will be blocked.

This is the lowest land cost in recent history. Hopefully the developer will not be too profit hungry and pass the savings to buyers. At 291psf ppr, this is 25% cheaper than riversound's land cost.

Land costs 291psf, break-even 615psf. As compared to river sound land costs 391psf and break-even 787psf. My guess is allgreen may price it below 800psf to ensure healthy take up rate. I may consider to invest in a 3 bedder if psf goes below 800.
Anyone know if this project provide shuttle to hougang or buangkok mrt?
Thanks.

Right. That is why I will only invest a small 1033sf 3bedroom probably around 800k or less if they price it around 800psf or less. Taken into account their break-even around 615psf, they will still have a lot of profit even they price it around 750 to 800psf.

Not exactly. He said indicative is around 850psf. If that is the case, I will give it a miss. Think developer may not price that high if they wish to sell out the project. My guess is at most low 800.
Hopefully they will do spoil market pricing. 700psf for 3 and 4 bedders and 750psf for 1 and 2 bedders.

Like that might as well use the difference to buy a lexus, move around in comfort.

In this respect, you analogy about "most expensive properties" only make cow sense... If you buy a landed property at $500 psf of land but with a land size of 1000,000 sqft for a total of $500m, that is considered most "expensive" in Singapore?:hell-hath-no-fury:

That is why sometimes d9, 10 may not be as high as suburban in terms of psf (comparing some river valley condos n sky habitat) but they are nevertheless out of reach for most hdb upgraders due to quantum. Some gcbs are less than $1000psf, but how many can afford a 15000sqft gcb? You may want to find ten of singapore's most expensive properties in quantum and ask yourself how many are 200m to mrt station. Your anology of using psf is distorted coz suites at guillemard is going for $2000psf for a tiny mm doesn't mean it is more valuable than a gcb going for less than $1000psf . Think you can understand this simple logic.

If lowest for river sound small 3 bedder goes around 800psf for 787psf break-even, and Flo residence 770psf at break-even 709psf, guess riversails lowest should go around 700psf for 615 break-even. Ha ha ha.... Hope they don't make a hugh fortune by pricing above 800psf.

Riversound is about 210000 sqft with only 549 units, river sails is 2xxk sqft with 920 units, seems like riversound is less dense n also nearer to mrt. Some agents say riversound is a better buy, but not sure how big the price disparity is between the two projects
It seems that Allgreen style is to pack the blocks close together in the plots they buy close or next to greenery or river.

I studied the site plan, best inward facing units are the two bedrs. There is one whole row of three bedrs facing outside, overlooking the river n that may not be the best to the buyer.

I think not free, more like discount 10%??

Should just ban the damn free balcony and air-con ledge! If free to developers, by right should be free to buyers right and why should buyers pay full price for these space? :banghead:

265007 square feet
920 units
Luxury Index: 288 square feet / unit of space. But I see the facilities gao gao. Am I deceived?
Looking at the map, seems like DBSS e.g block 476A is better located :ashamed1:
Even better than all the Condos (Riversalis, BH and Heron Bay). No road between the block and park connectors and also nearer to makan area.
If qualified for HDB, this will be a good bargain.
Nowadays, I do find that HDB location is improving, and some even surpass condo. Jiust :2cents: observation.
On second thought, we had moved ahead to pte, we already got our gain. cheers!

met up with an agent n to discussed with him about riversails. it seems that the developer is worried about clearing the units. riversound has been marketing since beginning of the year and still got about 200 units not sold, just like boathouse. For riversails to sell fast, the price has to be super attractive. the way i see it is that demand for riversails will be fueled by hdb upgraders living in that area and price support will be from surrounding hdb, watertown, luxurie and those highly priced punggol projects near mrt. I have a very strong feeling developers will still be holding on to many units even when TOP so to those interested in buying, buy it only if you want to live in the area.
Yah, too many empty units in the NE sector. Unless they price it at around 750psf, it will be very difficult to clear the units.

i somehow feel there will still be pulling factor coz some old 10+ yrs old resale condos in the suburbs already selling above 800psf, so to buy a totally brand new condo at 8xxpsf could be a steal whatever negative factors for the location. Again it is a gamble, how the take up rate for the area is going to be like for new upcoming flats in the area is hard to predict. The EC beside riversails would add pressure to the price of riversails but that will be many years later taking into consideration MOP.

Spoken to an agent thru' coffee this morning and heard that the cheque collection is not too good at the moment. So either the comm not attractive or there is no special attraction in this project. Think allgreen should understand that the only thing this project can sell is thru' attractive price.
Anyway, for me is still pricing. For 3 bedder,
strong buy below 750psf
Can buy below 800 psf.
Anything 800psf and above, Bye bye

think below $800psf is tough unless penthouse. My guess is it will be between $800-850psf. If buyers cooperate and dont give cheque from now till launch, developer panic and may consider reducing price even more.

Agent said indicative is 850psf. Actually 8xxpsf in any mass market condo still can buy. But because we know break-even only 615psf, it becomes hard for buyer to swallow this price range of 8xxpsf and thinking the developer earn a big fortune from u.

They merely compare with other nearby or far off projects to make their decisions. Developer will slice them up easily. :scared-3:

according to ura, parc olympia sell at 874psf median
but actually there are tons of 3 bedders priced at 7xx, lowest is 73x
if riversails indicative 850psf, i think should be many choice of units (3br) below 800
URA / HDB / MND better don't chicken out and stop supplying if they are serious about bringing the price of condo to affordable level... otherwise it's all talk and no action for those who want to upgrade.

:beats-me-man:
The hinged door is the room door when the mega sliding panel is in place as a wall separating the bed room and livig room. The bizarre part of the floor plan is the wardrobe which I think has to be made of shipyard timber and the washing machine that has no access point since it's back-facing the sliding panel. Maybe the washer access point is right at the shower area (below the void area) or the washer is drawn wrongly, it should be accessible from the sliding panel.
the 2br is bigger than riversound.. is it due to the big balcony space that you guys are saying?
sorry if this qn sound silly. first timer in getting private property here :)

Hi Cotter, I was first time looking for a private property like you. After comparing the floor plans of both Riversails and Riversound, the 2br at sails is bigger and it does look like beside a more generous balcony, it also has a HS (home shelter).
Sound only has one type 2br which is 753sqft while Sails has several ranging from 850sqft (B4) to 947sqft (B2s). Although we felt that opened area such as balcony are like wasted, there are many who liked them. But ultimately, you pay based on the unit price, which I believe the 2 project would not differ very much due to their close proximity.
Then again, if you are looking at 850-950sqft, Sound also has a 3br that is 904sqft, again it has no HS and a modest balcony. Sails 3br, however starts from 1033sqft. I think the most crucial would be with what you can afford, the choice should be one that you will like and look forward to live in unless you're buying for investment.
Happy house hunting.:D
Thanks jawzsg. Yeap looking for 2br and comparing sound and sails. 3br would be out of budget.. :cool:
Guess HS could be useful in storing stuff although I would prefer a smaller balcony. Probably wait for the showroom to check out the furnishings and space to get a feel of it.

any news about the cheque collection status for this project? One agent told me developer targeting to sell out 450 unit in the first 2 weeks. I have a strong feeling that there will be many units left unsold even upon TOP so for those interested to buy, do be prepared for that eventuality, coz selling upon TOP would be a challenge. If buying for own stay, then it isn't much of an issue.

should not worry too much about cheque collection. Even if u do, just do a search in the property guru and get the sales person to do a personal presentation at your place.
If the developer come up with competitive pricing, it will sell well. Otherwise, I believe it is just another pte condo.
this is a big project with 900+ units. all the 4 sites are facing building. To the north is riversound, to the east and west is HDB BTO and to the south is currently open (but further south is DBSS).

For new launches, cheque collection is usually used by the developers as a gauge of interest. They are smart to get agents to collect cheques beforehand so the developer can decide last minute what prices to throw at buyers during the preview. If buyers can cooperate and not give cheque, developers erik panic and chances of getting good price is high, if many buyers are kiasu n give cheque, they will end up with not so give pricing coz developer sees strong demand n won't reduce price.

If not, how can the median and average psf still stay stable..
It is a illusion created by the government that price did not trend up..

Problem with punggol is govt is very active in selling land n building flats for housing there but not much development in terms of shopping n not as robust as jurong imo.I don't think its market saturation... I suggest that its a matter of too many projects in too short a duration (but if this is how you define market saturation, then it is). If this area has just 3 big projects, it should be snapped up in no time. However, I estimate that there are at least 14 big projects coming in (including ECs) and it would probably require some 3 to 4 years to clear up the stock. Maybe this is Mr Khaw's strategy to soften the OCR market???
Quick check on the new projects around (Punggol and SK): FLO, River isles, river sound, Riversail, Austville (EC), Esparina (EC), Prive (EC), Twin Waterfall (EC), Parc Centros, Luxurie, H2O, Parc Vera (not in SK or Punggol but near enough), WaterTown, A treasure trove, etc... Just for argument sake, if each project has an average of 500 units (very conservative; River Isles already has 610 units), we have easily 7000 new units available over the last 2 years. This number might well be over 8000 units. How to sustain in a span of 2 years? :doh: Give it some time and the units will be gone!!!

Was aiming for 1 bedder but noticed the number of 1 bedrooms are quite limited for riversails. Most probably will go for the 2 bedder if the overall layout and feel is good during the launch. Hope it'll be well within my budget. Might have early bird discounts if we register early for the preview: http://buysgcondo.wordpress.com/2012/09/04/riversails-condo-vvip/ Let's just see how it goes.
NE definitely oversupply.
Good for own stay only. Invest sure die..
Indicative price before early bird discount for 1 bedder is 500-550k and 2 bedder and 2+ study is 700-800k. Average psf before discount is 838psf.

If facing outside, have to take units facing the river. There is one whole stretch facing hdb that are going very cheap, very much like flo residence. I personally think those facing the pool with distant view is the best. Make sure you choose those stacks where proximity to another block in front is not that near.

Was at punggol park recently and got to walk around the perimeter of the site. The so called river is actually a super big drain and it does not look very nice.
One man's meat is another man's poison, there bound to have people don't mind the drain view. To me, I think for this project, those units facing the pool seem better. :D

unless you intend to stay long term, it is better to get a two bedder as it is easier to offload.

Inward facing for me is a safe bet , facing outwards you may have to contend with the elements and possibly insects, depending on what floor you buy.

Actually heard some insider news about riversails which spark my interest, but with a piece of shit lurking around in every thread i go to, i shall reserve communication of important info with anyone interested in this project to private messaging. The scum said he will leave, but trust me, he will be back after i post this message. If he really returns to post some shit comment about someone, then he must surely admit he is a scum. If he doesn't, there is still some hope.
I just want to read about property related discussions.
hi please share any useful information as i might be interested in this property too for own stay.. but it seems not much amenities around... thks!

unless you intend to stay long term, it is better to get a two bedder as it is easier to offload. I am planning to get a two bedder there to add to my property portfolio simply becoz the project is priced to sell. Inward facing for me is a safe bet , facing outwards you may have to contend with the elements and possibly insects, depending on what floor you buy.
I am actually intend for long term stay. That is why I need a 3 bedder. But will c if 3 bedder pricing not attractive enough, I may switch to a 2+study.

Average 820 psf.
That's about 100psf more than Heronbay. Seems reasonable for a PC from Allgreen?

If average going at 820psf. Guess 3 bedder should go below 800psf.

You could have bought the low floor hdb facing 3 bedroom stacks for the same price. :doh:
I think this will be one of the few rare mass market condo that comes with marble flooring and branded fittings at the bargain prices. Good for own stay!

$800++psf for a 900 unit mass market condo a bargain? :doh:

820(selling price) -291(land cost)-350(construction and kumanñ)=179 profit!

Hi,
I received the below pricing from a property agent.
1 br 505sf from 440k
2 br 850sf from 680k
2+S 914sf from 740k
3 br 1033sf from 810k
4 br 1367sf from 1,050k
If still got 1-3 % (early bird discount) off the above, think worth to take a look.
And some more according to allgreen, the project comes with district 9 furnishing.
I scream frozen yogurt!!!!!!!!!
buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

D9 furnishing like those MM types... nowadays also can be quite so so
Admittedly the price is cheap because the location is lousy ... Ripple Bay can walk to Downtown East, this one got what other than self stay + driving?
and RB cheapest 1br was like 420k only
only worth considering for high floor river view if sell cheap cheap
another killer is competition to sell later with Heroy Bay which is cheaper and probably as good .. the supply in that are also too many
EC pricing then consider

Even the recent EC in punggol and woodland were higher than 300psf land costs.
just the myriad of facilities is enough to kill off the rest of the competition

440k BEFORE discount leh
Not too sure. But usually the indicative prices should exclude the early bird discount.

But that also means more maintenance costs later. Think for 920 units, this should not be any issues.
