you should go SM vvip.

after 30min in Q, is my turn(so excited, either #10-xx or #08-xx). I chose #10-xx, booking staff said #10-xx taken by the client in the 2nd Q next to me. staff: only left #08-xx, u want? u want? else wait at the side.....worse than fish market, u cant bargain.

Unless singaporean learn not to be so kia-su...else developer will leverage on our mentality

MR also suffers the same fate..stacks in first row mostly taken up by friends and associates...what left is sold like clearance sales at Sinagpore Expo..take it or the one behind you will

But take up was not like SM so still have some choice unit after the VVIP...and they extend preview price for 1 week haha

now buyers are laughing to the bank

I was at MR showroom a few days before SM vvip, 2 penthouse near main entrance was selling below $1M(with occ membership). I am a sucker for view, is not my cup of tea.

I was at MR a month back, beside the units facing and carpark entrance. They had some units facing the bin centre as well, the key plus point for me of getting a place in that area is really the view as well, lucky I waited out for SM instead.

It was my first time attending a vvip and seeing so many agents in my life. Waited closed to an hour in the queue as there was 1 or 2 breaks in between. Very disappointed when I joined the queue to know stack 25 and 23 were sold out. It was like everyone was aiming for the same few units, perhaps the high psf didn't make it sell out just as fast. Wonder if there are any return units so far.

I know quite a few changed to a better unit but Regardless you change or return any unit, developer take 25% out of the 5% payment.
Price did went up again.

sorry, i made a mistake i mean i bought Blk 23, Stack 7 @ low level for 938 psf :( So kinda upset when u mention 880K for other stacks....\

komo, may i know what is ncl?


If you are getting block 23, The amount is very reasonable.
That block has one of the best views even if you do not get the high floors, the pool view would be to your advantage.

Sorry, am not very sure which blk you're at. If you get the pool view then it's a steal.

Actually it's ok.
I do understand budget problems.
I must say from my experiences, the cheap developments comes with extremely bad furnishing.
Rest assured, you are getting great furnishings and facilities.
Also the Fengshui Master You long zi bought premium nearing 1.4

Your unit is 3 bedder?

yes jace, initially wanted to get 2 bedder. But the facing i like is $856K for level 8. i noticed the Masterplan is highrise buildings next to SM. So i opted for 3 bedrm compact with a poor facing instead.

wah, seem like fengshui masters like the North too?

Yours is a good stack, highly sought after so may belong to the upper 75 percentile.

oh dear, you overpaid. if you havent exercise OTP, get the agents to look for a unit at 1150. Get that OTP and then let the OTP for current unit lapsed.

you lose 1.25% = 16psf.
but you save 1250-1150 = 100psf.

No, Not willing to give up my unit.
I count myself very lucky to get this unit and I'm very happy with it.
All lower prices because of lower floors unless you say you can get high floor at 1150 psf with a fantastic view.

I have been working so hard and it would be nice to relax in my crib with a gorgeous view!

The four units are different from the compact style.
Different places of access as well.
According to my agent, he told me that compact only one unit per floor so lifts are kind of like private lifts since no one on the same level is sharing.
Maybe you guys can try asking your agent in case you guys misunderstood but this is what i learn from my agent so thats why if you buy blk 25, level 6, your unit is 6-25

Its true that each of the six blocks has only one 3rm compact stack. But I doubt it will have exclusive lift access from the other 3 stack sharing the same common area. Based on site plan, unit #06-25 resides in block 33. 3rm compact in block 25 is stack 11 so 6th floor unit will be #06-11.

jacelynchia
11-10-12, 21:12
I cannot confirm anything but that was told to me by my agent.
I think most probably the lifts serves one or two units per floor at most but there are only 1 unit per floors on block 25, really confused.
Please clarify with your respective agents as I was told but really cannot confirm. Thanks a lot!

Looking at the penthouse view top, it seems there is only one elevator shaft is located dead center of the block between stack 30 and 29. Hopefully its not drawn to scale and that shaft fits 2 lifts instead of just 1.

Thanks! and great picture too! now can save as screen saver:p
personnally i would try to avoid units near staircase as may risk being inconvenienced by wet floor or "flooding" if it rains...also i don't like units too near the lifts...looks like the bigger units will have main doors right beside the lift :(

There is a great difference between the two in terms of absolute number sold.........

jacelynchia

Of course total number of units.
They release all together, I'll read in the papers few days ago that 67% sold.
By now, It should be over 75% or more, My Agent Friends says sales are very strong and prices definitely increased more than 2 and price will just keep going up soon.
Anyway you guys know that there's only one bubble lift leading to sky gym.

High flr shld be more than 1k psf.

No noise pollution Nice view. Closer to SAP, CTE & TPE

In early May, i predicted it will sell abv $1k psf.

Now my crystal ball tells me that there will be 2 more land plots to be released next year. 1 in each half. Land price will be at least 10-15% higher than this & units will be going for as high as $1400psf (for plot ratio 2.1) provided no major event. :D

That 15% is cash, not loanable via banks. Pay by the otp deadline, should be in 7-8 weeks time plus the stamp duty.

Good to know that my friend has made another 20-30 million from this project.


Your friend? You mean the developer? TG Master?
I have never heard of this developer before buying skies.
20-30 million? That's a huge sum, kindly pass the message that we buyers expect the best in furnishings and the whole overall development.


Can anyone double confirm that how much marble is used for units, Is it the entire unit or just the bedrooms? Thanks

They were Main contractor and handling lots of hdb projects. You are all making him rich. Main contractor turns developer like sim lian, etc, can usually offer a few choices for finishes. Will let him know if I see him. He has really aged a lot. Work stress but worth it with a mega project like this one.

Please Don't make me worry. I was just joking but It would be nice if you could let him know. haha
Although many are using it for home stay but at the pricing we paid and the given the fact that the land price is not that high.
We do hope that the whole development is beyond our expectations since this location is not that popular for now but I'll know it will be in years to come.
The main concern is still how the overall condo fares rather than the location.
Hope It will be a Mega project standard!

Tong Garden siblings fight over $2m ‘loan’

Yet another dispute in snacks firm founder’s family lands in court.

Sun, Feb 22, 2009
The Straits Times

By Khushwant Singh

EVEN before the founder of Tong Guan Food Products died in 1984, his children were constantly bickering.

Then the court battles began over various issues of the family business when their mother and the wife of Mr Ong Tong Guan, Madam Chai Ah Chee, died in 1999.

In at least the fourth and latest case before the High Court, the youngest daughter, Ms Ong Siew Lay, 43, wants her brother, Mr Ong Boon Chuan, 54, to return $2 million he allegedly borrowed from her.

In court documents produced at the hearing, which started on Wednesday, Ms Ong, a housewife, maintains that her father gave her 50,000 shares in the holding company for the Tong Garden brand of nuts and snacks, which had been held for her by her mother. In 1999, she agreed to sell the shares to Boon Chuan.

She said she had then loaned the money back to him – at her mother’s suggestion – as he needed it for a property development business.

But when she asked for the money in June 2007, he denied it was hers.

‘He told me to get a lawyer if I wanted to talk to him,’ she recalled.

In his documents, Mr Ong Boon Chuan says the shares were his mother’s and she had given them to him.

In court yesterday, Ms Ong testified that her father had told her shortly before he died that she would get a 10 per cent share in the company, amounting to 50,000 shares, which her mother would hold for her.

According to the father’s wishes, three of the five sons would get 20 per cent each, as the other two had been given other gifts.

Four daughters would receive 10 per cent. The eldest daughter was left out as she had married the son of a business competitor.

The oldest brother, Leong Chuan, did not want his sisters to be involved in the business, and he bought the shares of two sisters in 1991 for $500,000 each.

Ms Ong was asked why she had not sold the shares at this time. Was it because they belonged to her mother rather than her? She denied this.

She told Senior Counsel Michael Khoo, who is acting for Mr Ong Boon Chuan, that she had held onto her shares because she knew they were ‘safe’ with her mother.

Testifying for her younger sister, Ms Ong Siew Kuan, 50, said that her mother had not been given any shares in the company – which was to spare her from the inevitable bickering between the siblings.

Her voice breaking at times, the office administrator said: ‘My father was very hurt by the behaviour of some of us and he wanted to spare my mother the same agony.

‘He told me he would leave her enough money so she would not have to depend on any of the children.’

In the last 10 years, there have been at least three legal tussles among the siblings, mainly over shares and control of the holding company.

The case in 2000 prompted a judge to call it an ‘ugly family dispute among siblings’.

The hearing continues today.

You're right on the land price and in fact lower than MR. That was why i said the next plot will be at least 10-15% higher then SM land price as benchmark has been tested & set at $1200psf range with relatively good response.

The MR owners are so happy that skies have high pricing but they neglected the fact that there are high competition due to several new developments especially The bad facing units at MR are at very very high risk.

If future buyers can afford MR, It is actually benefiting Skies owners.
Everyone must know that there are high risk due to competition as the area offers a wide selection of properties for future buyers.
If by any chance, the new development pricing comes out similar or below skies, The whole Area property prices's might crash or go down.

As for Rental wise, Competition is strongest as future owners can just move from place to place at the miltonia area to try out after their rental lease is over unless the area is highly sought after.

The shaughnessy area is over 3200 square feet and only asking about 1.5 m for it. Psf at around 480 only.

With the latest CM, believe property will chiong for those costing 1million and below. This is regardless of psf.

For those unit above 1 million , sales may be impacted due to higher cash/cpf downpayment of 40%/60% temporarily.

But, believe once potential buyer see property price 'no down leh' after being at the sideline for several months/years, those who can afford one mil and above ones will chiong also.

Then garmen come new CM again, sales will temporary slow a little with price stay put/marginally up. People chiong to buy again, CM again. So the cycle repeat itself.........

Until when ? You guess?

To make a decent return at 1200 psf, the area must appreciate to the rate close to what OCR is asking for...and OCR rate must appreciate to CR rate and so on and so forth.

This will spark greater resentment from the middle class against the government, the at same time make Singapore even more expensive.

I think government will play a hand to moderate pricing.

Do not think the price in other development will differ greatly from SM for at least 5 years.

at a lower psf, those owners can afford to ask for a lower rental to compete, that will be their edge.

I was saying only "IF" the new one drops in pricing, Which is unlikely.
My main concern is competition due to new developments as The area is not that popular now and that there are more new upcoming developments.

MR owners can rejoice as the pricing is increased but at the same time, it provided more options for future buyers so The poor facing units may be left out unless there is a huge pricing difference, which is unlikely.

Given the fact that The shaughnessy was asking around 1.5m while skies townhouses 3.8m.
Competition is very strong, be it resale or rent.

Our GDP and the IRs secured our economy, If Govt bring in more foreigners, The property market will just keep going up, see no signs of it going down.

In fact I will be affected too since I bought MR. But I know there are unrealistic expectations after the recent jump in private property prices...

As long you are aware that property is actually a long term investment that average around 4 to 7% return and have cash flow to hold until payback period of 7 to 10 years...you are ok.

Dun be smoked by agents and developers. There are some who make quick bucks, but there are people who over extend themselves too

If market collapse , price drop and bank call buyers to top up loan, the developers will have made the money leow and have enough to lie low and wait for turn around.

The views units can range from 1-1.3 for compact and over 1.4 for premium 3 bedders.
The no view units compact 3 bedders can cost just 900k, huge price gap difference between views and no views units.
However the facilities are unique so It is a big selling point.
Where to find sky gym and sky deck at condos in exclusive area of yishun at the moment?

I have started this thread to highlight the refuse chute problem to the owners of 3 bedroom unit.

Study the floor plan carefully, locate the refuse chute. The access to the refuse chute is not practical. You need to access the chute from the inside of the cabinet. It is difficult to maintain the cleanliness and the storage space infront of the refuse chute is wasted!!

There are a total of 72 units with this layout. Hopefully we can work out something with the developer.

Some suggestion for those who can accept a rubbish chute in the cabinets.

1. Using a foldable table top near chute (below will be empty). If space is a concern on the opening of chute, a 3 burners stove can be change to a 2 burners type.

If u believe in Feng shui, you want to shift the stove nearer to the fridge, the basin (water) & the stove (fire) cannot be directly opposite. A no-no.

Engineering aspect needed to be consulted, move the stove to the same side as the basin, thus leaving more space & idea how you are going to deal with the chute. The main structure of the chute is quite unlikely to be altered (only the height of the chute opening). :D

but nice lay out overall!

generally, do the bros and sis here like to have a balcony in the bedrooms? I personally don't like to have a balcony in the bedrooms as I feel there is no window for me to open at night for ventilation if I dont wish to switch on the aircon. but it's quite strange to leave the balcony door open when you sleep as there will be quite alot of dust?
just my personal preference. but this was the reason why i didn't like some of the big developments in good locations - cos of balconies in the bedrooms!

The design better suits small family and allows a side dinning table and a small living area maximising the use of the limited space. Having a square area will eat up unnecessary space, unless you always host events at your place, might as well use the condo function rooms.

New Yishun road to be ready ahead of time
Alternative link to TPE, CTE to open by the first quarter of 2015
Oct 15, 2012
By Royston Sim

A new road between Yishun Avenue 1 and Yishun Avenue 6 will be completed ahead of schedule, providing motorists in the estate with an alternative connection.
Originally slated to open by the end of 2015, the dual two-lane road will instead be ready by the first quarter of that year.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said the new link will be completed in tandem with the widening of Seletar West Link from one lane to three in each direction.
Nee Soon GRC MP Lee Bee Wah asked the LTA if the road could be ready earlier to ease traffic flow in the area, which she said would worsen when three Build-to-Order (BTO) projects are completed in 2014.
She said: "There's currently traffic congestion at Lentor Avenue during the morning and evening peak hours. With three more BTOs, I foresee the jam will become even worse.
"The new road will be an alternative route for residents, who won't need to go through Lentor to get onto the TPE or CTE."
Aside from the new road, the LTA is expanding the interchange of the CTE (Central Expressway), TPE (Tampines Expressway) and Seletar Expressway.
Four new flyovers are being constructed to link the three expressways with Seletar West Link.
Ms Lee had also requested that the project be completed sooner, but the interchange expansion will maintain its original completion date of the end of 2015.
The LTA has embarked on four road projects in the northern region to improve the connectivity and capacity of the road network around the Seletar Aerospace Park.
The first two phases of development at the park have been completed. About 80 per cent of the area have been leased out, with Rolls-Royce among the tenants. JTC Corporation is currently planning the third phase of development.
The LTA is also constructing the new dual three-lane Sengkang West Road that will connect motorists from Yio Chu Kang Road to the TPE.
Sengkang West Road will be joined to the new Seletar Aerospace Flyover and Seletar Aerospace Way, which will serve as the new entrance into the aerospace hub.
Currently, motorists have to go through Jalan Kayu to get to the aerospace park. The other option is to exit the TPE at the Jalan Kayu exit.
Roads in the area are becoming increasingly congested, due to new housing developments at Fernvale estate.
The Seletar Aerospace interchange and Sengkang West Road are scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2014. Contractors placed beams this month across the Seletar Aerospace Flyover.
An LTA spokesman said: "These road improvements will help to meet and accommodate the expected increase in traffic when these new developments are completed in the next few years."

few problems with this development:

1) all one bedder direct west sun, into masterbedroom and front balcony.

2) all 2 bedders with master rooms facing direct at each other.

3) Cabanas with public foyers on their roofs, and with the beams piercing the roofs---->bad fengshui

4) living.dinning in elongated shape with only one socket wall space. So if u put a tv next to the wall, the sofa will not have a wall as a backing.


5) Small kitchen and small rooms.

6) Living rooms definitely has not enough wall space for cupboards or paintings.

For the record, it's nearly half a million more than 1.2 m.
We buyers want it and we pay for for it and so If that many felt like you did,
It would not be 80% sold to date.
Things are like that, To some they want cheap psf and big spaces and
Some will only consider buyers smart when they purchase at super low psf and big unit.
These are own preferences, we like it, we can afford it and we bought it regardless if It is expensive as for overpriced, It's subjective since it's 80 % gone.

Besides from my experience, I have invested in cheap projects and what you pay is what you really get.
Project ended up looking like Hdb and lousy furnishings but real cheap and 2+1 already 1111 sqft at only 660k
Do not wish to mention what project is that as that again is subjective to own's preferences .

I know what you mean.

But by positioning the rubbish chute in the A/C ledge's (between the stove & the wash basin), you will not have any windows in the kitchen, as the rubbish chute is designed as a full column which serves the whole tower.

And not to mention the existing rubbish chute position will become the A/C ledge which you will not be able to use due to its size/location!

Unfortunately, I don't see there is any other way to fix this issue for this flat layout.

Project ended up looking like Hdb and lousy furnishings but real cheap and 2+1 already 1111 sqft at only 660k
Do not wish to mention what projForect is that as that again is subjective to own's preferences .
Half a million more?:eek:
So its actually 1.25m or 1.7m? It's more like 1.25m to me..:D
But for a 969sq ft unit for under 1.7m is impossible?

Nearly half a million more so <1.7 m.
I do not want to reveal the exact amount but let's just say I'm happy with it!

Thanks for choosing Skies Miltonia at Yishun rather than Sky Habitat at Bishan.

Reservoir is the 'pull' factor, I suppose?

Is Yishun fengshui stronger than Bishan?

1.2m + for a 969sq ft unit in yishun?:scared-4:
This is shocking! Extremely expensive n overpriced.

For some, it is 'sup sup shui' and they can afford without overstretching.

So, why not wish them all the best and wish all with vested interest in Yishun Huat together.

Hahahah, :ashamed1:
Sorry for the confusion I caused once again.
I was just trying to make my point that I loved the place.
I hope Yishun can become a hotspot for investors and home buyers in the future.
Plenty of work to be done but There's a lot of land and potential!
Actually any place can be a good location, it depends on how the govt brand the place.
Judging from the availability of land and new expressways in yishun.
Great potential!
Besides, It has punggol material, last time when punggol just started, no one wants to be there and now such a popular place!
If govt wants population to reach six million, Yishun is the next solution after punggol!


The sky habitat project is really nice, if the pricing was like skies.
Without a doubt, I would have purchased a unit there as well.

Thank you!
I do worry all these negative comments about yishun will affect the confidence of future buyers and investors at the area.
Many see it from their perspectives but the sales at skies have proved that people have confidence in the place.
People don't spent money on things they do not believe in.

Next to country club....but you're buying a condo with facilities. Why do u need to be beside a country club? Lucky got NTUC there.....worth about 50psf of the price.

Unless Lentor avenue can better accommodate the massive Yishun peak hour traffic, Yishun is a big no no for me.

If really have to buy in Yishun, I would rather buy 8Courtyards, or Nautical. Price is more sensible and you are buying into existing well established amenities and not buying into hope and prayer than something will suddenly make the miltonia area prosper.

Full of negativity!
I joined the club due to golfing interest! Is there an issue?!
I am not praying, just looking forward to stay there on my own.
Let me give you an example, It you bought a diamond ring at $20000.
You do not expect to get back more than what you paid more, It's like Art.
Some people may just value it as a stone
Only the purchaser values it and can see why they love it then they bought it
Besides if you buy expensive jewels, chances are you may not get more or near the amount you purchased for unless it is very rare.

If the area blossoms in the future, it is a bonus.
Right now I'm loving how exclusive and serene the place is and comes with impeccable views.
The future awaits and who knows what will happen?

Anyway, what do you people think of new properties consisting of more than 900 projects?
Don't you think risks are higher?
Imagine if half or more, 450 units are for sale and for rent?
Future rental and buyers will source for the best units and negotiate for the best rates.

Market forces will determine the price.
When u see something like Sky Habitat, 0 sales last month, then u can say it is overpriced. Nothing wrong with the design or location.

Yishun condo will be priced between $1000 to $1500. :D

I am sensing a bit of buyer's remorse or even denial here. This isn't a $20,000 purchase that one can easily write off, or dun even have to take a loan for. This is a >$1,000,000 purchase that requires a 20, 25 or 30 year mortgage of working our asses off, praying no retrenchment, praying good health to stay employed etc etc

This isn't a luxury project, not by a long shot. There are very few intangible benefits here...everything has a value. Land is bidded cheap cheap by developer, who has done a good job marketing it and manage to make few hundred people part with their hard earn cash for something which really isn't worth the >1k psf price it commands.

>900 units...Riversails? Cheaper and a much better buy IMHO. That place is connected by park connectors to future Coney island, to Punggol watertown/beach/park, straight road to Marina bay via the KPE, to amenities which has been ANNOUNCED and not left to hope/chance. A good sized 3 bedder can be had for less than 900k.

Which one is easier to rent out or sell in your opinion?

BUYERS REMORSE???!!!!
I don't think so.
What I am trying to say is if you purchase a diamond, a stone at a high price, people might think it's just a stone.
Only the purchaser can see the value and appreciate it.

People I know This is a forum.
I do not expect to hear only the good.
Everyone have their own point of view.
I can understand but try to see a good side to Things.
Price does not relates to actual value.
Value cannot be compared to just by pricing as well!


Besides I do not think that the projects with over 900 units can be easier to market than Any other projects.
Those who bought it at low prices, It's a steal for home stay!
Just think logically, No matter how good the price you bought at.
Competition to sell it or to rent will be raised.
Just think logically, if the units were not that many, do you think developer can sell people at cheaper prices given today's market?
I'm not trying to say that it is not a good project or investment but just highlighting the competition level.
Given the number of units there, exclusivity to facilities are not high.
By then, there might be new projects to attract people to buy instead of this.
But then again, that is subjective to one's point of view.

Look at Eco Sanctuary. A similar 969sf 2nd flr with no views (behind HDB, front Tree House) going for $1.18mio = $1217psf

True, price can only go higher.
But seriously, everything comes with a price tag. Amendities/location is a major factor.
If WT going for 1600psf, i can say, forget it. Way too overprice from investment point of view.
If foresque going for 1300psf, i can also say bye bye. Whats the upsides?
Developer can price whatever they want and there will always be buyers.
Buyers buy for many reasons, be it self stay, investment, or proximity to work.
I guess the forumers are not talking down SM, it just that they are questioning the upsides of this project when investment is concern.

Compare to Eco S. 100% yes. Cant turn back the clock liao. If can, 2004-2005 was the best recent years to invest. Like u said, nvr end.

Well, if u ask me compare, eco s vs skies, i feel both sama sama. Not much investment upsides if priced at that kind of psf.
But thats just my view. I've been staying in miltonia for 5 yrs and i know its potential and where is its cap. Why should i talk down my place? Its just my honest opinion.
But thats also the beauty of this forum. Diff people diff view.

Yup. Last time, i expect priced between $1250 - $1300psf. Now it is very unlikely. Price may go up to $1500psf, thus making WT look cheap.

Gut feel is ard 1300psf.
If true, still can buy la. I feel yishun hub got more upsides than WT. Lesser competition at least.

Skies psf and take up rate is something im taken aback.
But good lah, all miltonia buyers huat together. :D

Hopefully $1300psf, but will be lower flr or lousier facing etc. Higher flr might be going abv $1400/ $1500psf. We will know in abt a year time.

You are damn sarcastic.
It seems like you're enjoying our worries!
Always adding some spice to the skies thread.

We're too engrossed at the show flat, did'nt thought the chute was going to be a problem.
The thread was mainly to solve this issue but you're seem to not understand.

We neglected the chute area but I think we can try talking to developer.

p3nboy, Do let us know if you need anything from us.
Have you tried speaking to Developer?

Looks like we may have another financial crisis...well good time for me to go in and buy from borderline cases when that happen.

Liquidity will be big issue for next 3 years and if Obama loses the election, Republican has history of protecting the rich over middle class. One way is to stop printing money and raise interest rate

Visited SM over the weekend. For the 4 bedders, the 5th flr unit was priced at around 1.35m and 8th flr on the same stack 1.65m. 300k more for just 3 flrs higher because of the view and the view from 8th flr is just above the trees. SM developer has done a fantastic job in marketing and he must be having a good laugh all the way to the bank. I am not sure how lucky SM will prove to those who paid such premium prices but it definitely proved very lucky for the developer.

Sky Habitat now looks very reasonably priced.

Just to add that it would be quite interesting for someone to do a thesis on the above - the psyche of buyers , how they fall in for the marketing gimmicks of developers and the power of "feng shui" marketing.
I do not remember The Estuary being priced like 300k more for 3 higher floors becuase of the view. The view from Estuary is clearly more superior with a larger upfront water view. Many units face away from the junction which is supposedly bad for feng shui. It is walking distance from MRT.
SM would prove to be a interesting case study for marketing.

I think there will be more condo developments in Miltonia in time to come, perhaps in the GLS 2013.

The availability of land for the condo belt in Pasir Ris, Upper Serangoon, Tampines Ave 10 have almost been depleted.

Miltonia & Hillview are the ones that I can think of with room for more development at the moment.

If you have been to the showroom, you would not have said so.
The layout is very cozy and family- oriented.

The 3 bedder at the showflat is for the premium unit (1130sqft) where the living / dining area is of reasonable size. The compact 3 room (969 sq ft) which you bought and can only be seen from the floorplan has living / dining area equivalent to the 2 bedders. Compare the floor plans of the 3 rm compact and premium side to side and the difference in living/dining size would be quite obvious. Only a small sized 1 pc 3 seater sofa can be placed in the living room of the 3rm compact.

The premium unit is brought up by the balconies, yard and an extra toliet, which I do not need.

I think It's fine. The size was not a issue.

I like your optimism and your resolve. Single-handedly defend Skies Miltonia against all naysayers.

In fact I think you should chill and take a break from the forum. Start shopping for interior designers, design your colour theme, pick your furniture etc etc. Make your 3bedder your dream home come true.

I have recieved messages from skies owners to just ignore but I feel I must protect my baby! hahaha
well, Thank you
Optimism is key but in the first place, we buyers bought it because we loved it.

I just feel that if others have so much to say about other's purchases but do they really think we buyers cannot judge on our own?

You're right!
We should start thinking about the interiors.
I am thinking of wallpapers designs and the decors already !
