S'pore's first deluxe EC attracts more than 1,000 visitors
16 September 2012
SINGAPORE: Singapore's first-ever deluxe executive condominium (EC) at Upper Serangoon attracted more than 1,000 visitors on its opening day for e-applications.
Several young couples and families thronged the sales gallery of the 394-unit Heron Bay.
Developers said they had expected a high turnout rate as the EC offered several premium features including living rooms with private jacuzzis and a sea-sports recreation centre.
The launch date for Heron Bay is on 26 October

My bath tub is hardly being used , and with a jacuzzi in the middle will not be friendly to kid.

hdb 1 million all will follow...:o
Hrmmm....both Heron bay and riversails are trying to market luxury facilities and fittings for a "value" price to offset the lousy location.
:rolleyes:

Wow... 1.5 mil!
If deluxe EC means price is higher, they should consider raising the income ceiling for these units.
If one earns 12k per month, he should not be spending 1.5 mil on the PH :tsk-tsk:.

I am very conservative when it comes to buying property.
I believe one must buy within his means.
I believe that one should not spend more than 5 times his annual income on a home.
So if he earns 12k per month, that's 144k per year and that's less than 10 times the 1.5 mil.
It's stretching his dollar too far in my opinion.

mr yt...:confused::confused::confused::confused::D
Like i said before, raising the income ceiling will allow developers to raise their prices. Nett nett, it doesn't make it more affordable to young couples.

That one...... I really dunno wat to say!
Was at Hougang central for dinner just now. Saw this China guy and his wife looking at the Heron Bay book with all the floor plans. The wife was staring at a page on a layout for super look. Was very curious which layout they were look at. When I finally saw it, it was a 5+1 penthouse.... Heard she told the hubby, we made the right choice.....
Damn rich sia. :banghead: New citizen aiming 5+1 penthouse.
5+1 Ph? How much is that?
they have a stack of 5 bedders it seems. but i wonder how do they cramp all that into 144sqm.

There is something very wrong with HDB system. Tax payers are subsidising middle-class to buy luxury ECs, particularly for new citizens.
I maintain, as in my earlier posts early this year before all the sensation stories came out, that Singapore is in a mess. We seem to be heading in the wrong direction.

That will be luxurious fishing. :)

They are also tax payer...and new citizens are citizens...if not, should they be called secondary citizens? We shouldn't have variations...:D
But u make a very good point, tax payer money should be subsidizing basics...not luxuries....I don't think EC is Basics! :rolleyes:
:2cents: :2cents:
Agree, no need to subsidy EC. Afterall, they could be drawing close to $10k per month.

the roof terrace is super huge for hosting sky parties and topless tanning

I call it a condo that is governed by HDB rules. EC has MOP like all HDB flats. Cannot sell or rent fully within 5 years.

Can you imagine.. every morning.. the fish wait for you to turn on the jacuzzi to massage their bodies... like living in a resort.

Is there any chance to appeal to clear this 30 months period? I think it is harsh to people who wants to downgrade?

Tub/Jacuzzi in living hall, next time can rent to ... :D :D :D:cheers3: :cheers5: :cheers4: :sleep:

For those who have an altar in living room esp for Buddist & Taoist, you dare to have Jacuzzi in front of the god/buddha?

Yep, u can appeal to HDB. Heard they normally grant ur appeal quickly if ur family is growing. i.e. newborns etc

Why is tax payers subsidising these middle class families to BBQ or having jaccuzi at penthouse? This is worse than the Brompton bike saga in the sense at the the bikes could eventually benefit the public by allowing the park wardens to work more efficiently.

relax lah, 100psf less and how luxurious also I won't buy in such location
sooner or later, far from MRT is 700psf, near MRT is 1400psf
in CCR, near MRT is not so important ... in OCR, ability to access multiple MRT lines will be a KILLER
although the subsidy for EC is $30k, for that luxurious a ph with jacuzzi and bbq, it seriously doesn't need any subsidy to buy that kind of unit and at that sort of quantum especially.

i think for any EC units above 750k, there should be no subsidy. that should cover all 3 bedders, so 4 beds and above won't see any subsidy.
