View Full Version : Hillview Peak @ Hillview (D23, 99yrs Leasehold, by Kingsford Development)
Most, if not all developer(s) are starting to offer discounts to their unsold unit(s).
When will this developer starts dishing out discounts or still living in denial?
The downtown MRT will make Hillview a very accessible area...no doubt there are plenty of condo developments in that area.

My family member who bought a "1+1" at blk 103, has also just received the 10% payment notice. But on-site observation shows there is hardly any steel structure for the central block.

Hi, Lilyput. Think it should be 5 units sold in March, according to the ura website? Was enquiring on the April sales figure. Thanks.
When will Hillview Peak starts discounting? I am waiting for correction or a crash.

Kingsford hillview peak was reported in an article that it is less than 35% sold. It has been 1 year plus since, and I am still seeing developer is still sleeping. Good luck to Hillview Peak holder(s).

Sounds more like crow, crowing and hoping to pick up bits that it is deprived of...
A very poor project indeed...and still selling at high 1.3k to 1.4k psf. Unrealistic.

....but then he is the legendary investor who bought Mt Sinai landed with a combined household income of 7K......which interestingly remained stagnant for the many years that he had been on the forum.....it seemed he willingly paid 16% SSD on his Mt Sinai apartment sale which should work out to at least 200K to upgrade to a landed within months of purchasing the apartment tapping on proceeds from the sales of both sets of parents and parents-in-laws HDBs......
So now he perhaps feel that he has the bragging right to scorn people looking at this ulu part of Singapore......
I would not be surprise if he would start eyeing Good sized Bungalows inthe vicinity soon....dun play play hoh...

Hi Yowetan,
sorry for the slow reply, i think with the Hill V2 retail business coming up, i think it brings benefit for Kingsford Hillview Peak (http://allpropertylaunches.sg/kingsford-hillview-peak/) as it serves as an amenities to the residents around the area. Added to that, it will also increase the crowd and demand for the properties around the area.

Hi yowetan, actually the units did indeed move after the price adjustment. perhaps making comparison with nearby development selling price and taking the advantage of the upcoming Hillview MRT, it maybe considered still 'reasonable' for Kingsford Hillview Peak (http://launchpropertysingapore.com.sg/condo/property/kingsford-hillview-peak.html). just my 2cent worth opinion :)

Botanique at Bartley with better central location and accessibility with reputable UOL and finishing 1 bedder only selling 590++ to 630k. This really beats Kingsford Hillview Peak hands down.
There a few good schools and JC like NJC down the road.... If take MRT from Hillview station is v convenient.... And is a direct 25 mins MRT to city..... And the green corridor is shaping up, ...cycling ifromupper bukit timah area to tanjong pagar..,,So I don't think it will lose to boutique at Bartley.... Offering people another choice and needs ..life style
Botanique 590k for <500sq ft n normal ceiling height? Accessibility to Orchard is actually similar for both, possibly HVP is nearer to Hillview Mrt than Botanique to Bartley, n using BkE, takes only 10 plus minute from Hillview to Orcard...as for finishing, the jury is still out until the units can be inspected ang compared.

Hillview is not really a good place. Too many old condos.
tonymontana
02-08-15, 21:54
No, it is a great place to live. The older condos are freehold and we have an underground MRT by next year.
Between staying in a old condo area vs staying with old parents and old parents in law, I'll go with the former.

I do not agree; precisely there are just too many freehold condos. This even make Hillview peak a poor proposition. Additionally the site is extremely narrow and inaccessible. I wonder how the peak hours will choke that place.
I am more concerned about the high radiation/magnetic interference at HillView............
There are huge towers that may be cause of radiation/magnetic interference on top of Bukit Batok hill and Bukit Timah hill...................

I do not agree; precisely your view is biased, freehold is freehold , and the newer properties are no longer freehold, which means freehold properties will be scarcer in future. The price is what it is for a piece of property here, whether you think it is a good or bad proposition is immaterial as there are people buying and moving here. Additionally the road is hardly inaccessible and the width of the roads are as per standard URA/LTA specifications.

And you think there is no "radiation" anywhere else in Singapore? come on. The radio wave emissions from the towers have been monitored and are within safety limits.

Guess as much as you like to make your parents sell their hdb and your parents in law sell their hdb so that they all can fund you buy a property. Good grief! :hurt:
Actually stay where in SG also the same (in terms of safety). Pulau Bukom to the South, Tuas industries to West, Radiation at Bt Timah (due to high points), ships to the East, car jams in the central
You choose anywhere else on the island to live, spend long hours trapped in peak hour traffic, more chance to get accident and more stressed life which causes you to age faster.

You speak like you refuse to understand the tenets of township planning. The roads were designed to fit the population density. Congestion happens when all the vehicles go on the roads at the same time, hence the term "peak hours". Good grief.

Obviously YT is so afraid of radiation, he has not been to the area, to realize that there are two overpass between Hillview-dairy farm and Bt Panjang junction 10 along with road widening on top of the DTL completion by year end, that will alleviate, though not necessary remove congestion, just like any where else in spore, peak hour traffic are similar.....

exactly, but there will always be people like that in a forum .
Hillview is seriously congested. Road along Hillview avenue is bottleneck. With the community club, hillV2 and the silly Hillview peak it only will add woes to the traffic condition there. Additionally when there are so many freehold and 999LH private properties in that area, Hillview peak and hillv2 certainly looks over rated and expensive. People who buy the peak are struggling pigs at this economic climate now.

Radiation at Hillview will not kill you immediately, it just cause your cell to vibrate faster and cook you slowly when you are expose long enough.
Just like putting youself in the microwave oven.
There was an incident when the motor malfunction and the antenna point to a technician servicing and he feel his back heated up.
Enjoy free radiation, don't worry about dying immediately we are all expose to radiation, 3G , 4G, wifi, Bluetooth, FM, AM, VHF, UHF,........
It is the amount and duration that you need to worry.
No worries. Light is also a form of radiation.
Oh my, did YT just call all buyers of HVP "struggling pigs"??! I just thought he disliked the developer of HVP based on nationality and now this insult came from him just because the HVP buyers bought a property that he didn't agree? Hmm...

You are right, excessive light cause cancer.

The pinnacle at duxton has 1848 apartments on a development area of 6.2 acres.
The four condos on the side between the roundabout and the mindef side gate will have a total of about 1600 condo units over a combined 17 acres. And I am excluding the green areas behind hillier
Therefore it would seem Hillview (near HVP anyway) is not congested at all. Certainly I am not suggesting that it is the most prestigious location in Singapore, but it is a nice, green area to call home for those who like nature.

There are many roads entering Hillview estate from Upper Bukit Timah Road and Bukit Batok Estate, traffic condition is relatively well distributed and healthy. On top of the existing roads, there will be a road under construction now who directly link from the end of Hillview Link (where Hillview Peak will be) to Upper Bukit Timah Road and this road will also be linked directly to upcoming Hillview MRT.
tonymontana is right. Hillview estate is not congested at all. Can be assured of. Yes it might not be the most prestigious location in Singapore, but it will be a private enclave cluster for Nature lovers especially at Hillview Peak which is located at the end (Corner and not affect by any traffic movement) of Hillview.
Check out the Overview Location Map here : Hillview Peak (http://newlaunch-property.com/showcase/hillview-peak.html)
It take me 45 minute drive at 110 mph to travel to my workplace in US. Singapore so........ big.
To show how big is Singapore, it take 20 min from west to east with no traffic.

Hillview Peak is on a new road called Hillview Rise.
The road linking to UBT is not yet being planned, although it shows up on the maps as being U/C. We were updated by our MP recently regarding the upcoming developments here. Frankly speaking, I am against that road you mentioned because there is a nice green buffer there now, with a row of old beautiful trees on it. To walk to the MRT from hillview peak, one can actually take an existing footpath which is just beside the canal next to Mindef grounds, that will take you to UBT. The distance to the MRT station is about 300m.
Of course I'm right! Hillview is one of the less congested estates on this island.
Don't agree? Say hello to my leetle friend! :p :p :p

Stop advertising this project. It is worthless. If people die die insist to get a condo there. Just cross the street and simply get a glendale or hillview park condo. They are all FH, and cheaper.

What's the latest update by the MP on the upcoming road linking UBT? Has it been decided to be built / when?
Where's the existing foot path to UBT from Hillview Link? So you can currently walk out from HillV2 to Dairy Farm Road without having to go via Hillview Road?
Thanks for sharing your insights!
I personally think Hillview has oversupply of apartments. Nothing fancy.

I just bought a flat in Hillview Peak. Before this purchase, I had paid a very hard price in purchasing property. I was attracted to a property previously and had paid the deposit. We thought we had bought our dream home, but very soon we found the property in fact had a lot of concerns which the agency never told me, or he himself even was not aware. To cut the loss, we decided not to exercise the option, and 25% of our deposit was forfeited. That is not a little money to me!!!!
I am a homebased housewife; the quality of home environment highly impacts my daily quality of life. The environments around Hillview, especially the side facing Ministry of Defense attracts me very much. The tranquility around there cannot find from the district I am now living. But this time I cannot let the impulse override us anymore. To avoid making the same mistakes, this time, we cool ourselves first. We read the whole 57 pages comments about Hillview Peak. Having finished the reading, I really have no confidence to consider the property. Their points mainly are China developer, cheap material, congested traffic, etc.
To confirm the traffic, we visit the site MANY times, during different period of the day, so far I have not seen any traffic congestion. One evening, after our inspection on the site, when we were waiting bus to leave, a gentleman initially taught us which route can take to where and where. I took the chance to ask his ideas about the district and traffic. He told me he has been living there over 20 years, he has every positive comments about living there and confirmed to me that there is no traffic issue living around there, especially the MRT will be operated Dec this year. In front of the site, the developer has built a road for public in and out, that make the traffic even not an issue.
To find out whether the material used really cheap and the construction is poorly built by “the China developer” as commented on the web, we decided use our own eye to verify. We went down to the site and show room to check VERY CAREFULLY one by one, since my husband is an engineer who was in charge of a reputative international company, he confirmed that the Marble is true, and the material is NOT cheap, the construction is VERY good in hand. In fact, the design there is very friendly using, no bomb shelter and the master room is the largest so far I saw in all the previous showrooms I visited.
To have another credit, we found the people living in that district are quite educated and polite. Well, we are not young any more, we can see what the people walking around. Later on, my son told me that the district called “rich man area”. It is so nice if those people living around you have good substances. Also, around there are all condos, there would be no issue that outsiders trespass to our condo to use our facility. The trespassing issue is happening to the condo we are living in now.
Then, we come to think about whether is it the right time to enter the market?? Personally I think the property will keep on going down and the cooling measure will not be lifted up soon. Today, the news confirmed my view. But why I still decide to purchase the property at this moment?? Yes, the price can be further down, but the unit you fall in love will not wait for you!! I found that I am very late already, the ones suit our family needs are all gone, there is only one unit I still can buy, so I must purchase the unit before others buy the unit away.
The above is my journey to purchase my dream house, I am here use my time to say something fair for Hillview Peak, there is someone there who says a lot of VERY bad words about Hillview Peak from the first day till now. If you have interest on the property, I encourage you to go down to use your own eye to verify the situation by yourself.

In fact, the design there is very friendly using, no bomb shelter and the master room is the largest so far I saw in all the previous showrooms I visited.
To have another credit, we found the people living in that district are quite educated and polite. Well, we are not young any more, we can see what the people walking around. Later on, my son told me that the district called “rich man area”. It is so nice if those people living around you have good substances. Also, around there are all condos, there would be no issue that outsiders trespass to our condo to use our facility. The trespassing issue is happening to the condo we are living in now.
Then, we come to think about whether is it the right time to enter the market?? Personally I think the property will keep on going down and the cooling measure will not be lifted up soon. Today, the news confirmed my view. But why I still decide to purchase the property at this moment?? Yes, the price can be further down, but the unit you fall in love will not wait for you!! I found that I am very late already, the ones suit our family needs are all gone, there is only one unit I still can buy, so I must purchase the unit before others buy the unit away.
The above is my journey to purchase my dream house, I am here use my time to say something fair for Hillview Peak, there is someone there who says a lot of VERY bad words about Hillview Peak from the first day till now. If you have interest on the property, I encourage you to go down to use your own eye to verify the situation by yourself.
How much three china men pays you? Your attempt is well crafted than the Sharon Au advertisment.
Please kindly goto propertycarrot or URA portal to check how many unsold units left in Kingsford hillview peak. Even you like it so much, there will be plentiful supply. If not happy, walk across you will have skywood.
I am keen in principle garden and waterfront and I am trying for waterfront. Hillview peak? It's too peak. Too many houses. Too many light industries within.
What's the latest update by the MP on the upcoming road linking UBT? Has it been decided to be built / when?
Where's the existing foot path to UBT from Hillview Link? So you can currently walk out from HillV2 to Dairy Farm Road without having to go via Hillview Road?
Thanks for sharing your insights!
Low Yen Ling is busy taking photos. No time for the UBT.

I prefer waterfront because of limited budget. Waterfront material is good and genuine too. Yes. I brought my engineer brother in law along. He certified the material is marble.

China marble lah. Not expensive one. Go and take a look at Principal Garden. Maybe can get a two bedder for your budget?
Hillview peak is selling at extreme peak prices in my opinion and the facilities are limited compared to the other completed projects in the area.
The first comment on this page seems to be a propaganda and extremely biased view. -"educated and polite" "rich men area" "no outsiders trespass" - seriously?
No outsider come in because of inaccessible location lol , need a car to get there, hard to park and sneak in.
= exclusive mah. Why you like so accessible?

Do rich, polite and educated put accessibility as primary concern for property?
That is subjective and I would not know because hillview is a rich men area and I don't reside there.
And do not twist my words, I never said accessibility nor inaccessibility as a primary concern for property.
Just wanted to point out the propaganda post and the comment stating her thoughts on rich men area , polite and educated and trespassing, nothing more.
Seriously people can get too attached and delusional with property purchases.
Relax friend. Most know not to trust online materials. We are very seasoned about propaganda here over the years.
I am not even vested here.
Not sure which posts by whomever caused your views. Maybe can quote those views.
My own assessment and estimation of the peak hour traffic here caused me to avoid it altogether, even though several old freehold units are interesting propositions. I would be surprised if traffic here is smooth during peak hours. Long ago, bus rides through the road here were already very slow during peak hours.
My apologies if you felt I twisted your words. Peace.

Light industries are not close to the property!!!
The MRT coming in (just very short walking distance) and the amenities there also inject my decision to purchase the property. You live there you can enjoy tranquility plus all the conveniences for education, shopping and transportation. All these elements are very important for whether a property can stand firm on the market or not.
When I decided to buy the property from Hillview Peak, not much 3 bedroom units left, and those units which face the Ministry of Defense left only four for us to choose!!!!!
"How much three china men pays you?"???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not have any single cents payment for my post. I am just an ordinary buyer who share my own thought about the property!!!! I am not advertising for them!!!!!

Hi. Welcome, future neighbor. You don't have to justify your purchase to anyone though others may have different views than you, sometime rather strongly or rudely. Thanks for sharing. Please share any more update as I have bought mine way back in 2013 and have not been there lately. Looking forward to the Hillview Mrt. 8)

Agree. Some reasons are personal, such as parents or parents in law living nearby. From what I make of the Masterplan 2014, the light industry within the region will also move out. It is also a distance off.
For a residential area, I think it has its own strengths and merits as well. Congrats!
I used to visit my good friend's HDB flat in the area many years ago. A couple of good friends residing there as well. Nice place to live in. My only personal concern was the peak hour traffic along Upper Bukit Timah Rd.

Hi, Dear future neighbour, and other friends on this web conversation, thanks for your blessing and support.
I love nature and tranquility. Thus, when I found that Hillview Peak sited close to FOUR nature park and connector, all these features attract me to study the property. It is pity that when I decided to purchase the property, all three bedroom units face the Ministry Defence only left FOUR for me to choose. Hillviews Peak do not have so many units of three bedrooms. The units of my preferred floor level have all sold out!!!
I am now dreaming the relaxation to sit outside balcony, plant herb, fruit tree around me, design my balcony as a minor gardening, so cool that if you want to eat fruits or use herb to cook, you just go outside to pick them; I also can eat outside the balcony, enjoy the north wind, etc. That is my retired flat, my dream home!!!
Dear Sillyme, your unit is also facing the MD, right? but I think you are in higher level than me, good!! I wish I could buy higher level!!
I entered this web because want to study the property before any purchase, now, have already bought my dream home, so will be less likely to visit this web, bye now!!
Now, I will focus more on study gardening, prepare myself to build that minor garden, bye to you all my friends, take good care
Hi all future neighbours,
I bot a unit during 2013. I hav two questn, serious concern now.
(1). For the past 6 mth, did the developer ask for any progressive payment? It sounds very quiet, I wonder did the workers stop work? So far they only collected 40% of the total payment?
(2). I remember seeing developer advertise in ST one month ago, stating TOP date is Mar 2017. How come?
In the S&P signed during 2013, stated TOP date is 30 Nov 2016. Does developer run into prob to get workers completing the project?

Have you visit the place and observe any construction progression? I think they push back because they are seeking for more buyers so they can have enough fund to roll over to support two projects running.
Nevertheless I would still want to highlight Hillview Peak is not a wise choice.

You are relentless aren't you? I think if your posts are to be removed from this thread, it might cost the thread quite some pages.
It's normal for the projection to be faster than the actual TOP. In fact this happens to big players like Far East as well.
Suggesting that they have ran out of funds to support two projects is one of the most ridiculous things you can say. Try harder. You can hate them, complain about quality or whatsoever, but to suggest something like that takes some stupidity and bravery. Applaud you.
LOL. Even strawberrysis couldn't take it anymore. Joined forum for more than 6 months and her first post is this. :D
On the contrary, i think yowetan speaks a lot of sense in this thread. You can discount what he said in other topics, but i do agree with him here.
No vested interest in this project.

Making a point, be it compliment or criticism, is fine.
Making the same point, continuously incessantly relentlessly on every page at every opportunity, is not.

I have got the latest constructn progress status.
Confirm TOP will be delayed, not possible to meet Nov 2016.
I could not understand why The Skywood that started constructn later than Hillview peak, could TOP much earlier than Hillview Peak.
Not enough workers to work on the Hillview Peak project?

Thanks for the update. I am not in a hurry to move in since I will be quite busy in 2016. 2017 is just nice. 8)
Mrt is already completed, despite the main contractor for DTL went busted. This "pig" still has not even seen decent progress, let alone wishing for a TOP is indeed an uphill task. What a development!
How's the peak now? Still peaking nowhere?

last week i received a marketing email from agent regarding their relaunch, title says: "TOP END 2016!"
not sure how accurate.
Hi I registered to this forum just for saying "thank you" to Mr. YT. If not because of his nearly 3 years’ effort on criticising this project, I would not had the chance to get my dream home here at beginning of 2016. He must be an angel sent by the heaven to help me since 3 years ago! Otherwise what can explain his tiredless, beyond understanding action? But since I have already purchased, I believe his duty has come to an end. Thank you Mr. YT! You may go back to the heaven now.
And just want to say hi to my future neighbors. Don’t worry, this location is perfect.

Actually, it is now roughly 72% sold. Think TOP will occur either year end or early next year.
How's everything, Mr Yowetan?

I think it is a possibility as it is already 72% sold and the next two 5% payments are forthcoming.

Hillview green is already bug by fire, a telling sign hillview area is over the mill. In addition, with supply more than demand and rising uncertainties in economy and interest rates, as well as our employment opportunities for both Singapore and Foreigners. We are very certain that money will not flush in like we saw in 2010-2013 period.
The hillview peak with its 99-x years leasehold comparing to other developments, including hillv2 pales in comparison. Good luck to those who buy the idea of DTL and hillview peak.
Hi all future neighbors :)
I register this account to leave comment here to say thanks to all. I was attracted by the location and the nature and tranquility of HVP, and came across this discussion while I was doing survey and study. Despite the criticisms (yeah!) I still find that this is the home I wanted ! ^.^
I had bought my unit facing the Min of Defence. Despite the DSTA screen (!) I still go for it after deep consideration. I love balcony and so to me at least it is better than some other project which is without a balcony... + many more other +point factors ~ to me this is the ' you are the one ' unit :)
Looking forward to the TOP ~

Why your statement and paraphrasing reads so similar or somewhat same. I am surprise Hillview Peak starts internet marketing. I remember the above statement because of Hillview "Pig".

How does the DSTA screen looks like and how does it work? Does it also screen the balcony?

It is basically a BLOCKING VIEW THING. Quoting from website - http://www.propersquare.com/reviews/details/hillview-peak#.V4D9t_l9600.
If you take a look at the picture, you’ll see these strange curved grills outside of units in the upper storeys. These grills are meant to block out the view of the residents! Since every block consists of two back to back stacks, it means that for these grilled units, there is absolutely no view at all. The front is blocked by the grills, and the back by the other units.
This is why we mentioned earlier that balconies are wasted on this development. What good is any balcony when you get zero view.
Mindef is deemed too far away to be looked into from a height less than 60metres, hence anything below that is free from the blocking grills. The developers claim that while these grills block out sight, it will not block out ventilation. To us that is a weak consolation. (And may not be true either since dust and dirt can trap in the grills, making the air dirtier)
This strange feature also means that there is no value whatsoever in getting a high floor. All views are blocked regardless. Traditionally higher floors command a premium, but here at Hillview Peak, the converse is true. The lower floors (without the grills) are more expensive then the higher (blocked) floors./
Thanks yowetan. There is still a view except that it is not straight ahead view but slanted to,the angle of the grills right? Without photos of what it looks like from inside the apartment, it is very difficult to visualize.

Just walk to any new high floor HDB. They do have this grill kind of thing to block the wind. Basically you cannot see anything. What kind of visual you need? Basically it is nothing.
I think it is a possibility as it is already 72% sold and the next two 5% payments are forthcoming.
further update, HVP is now above 84% sold and Mr Yowetan is trying to help to create the awareness like he has contributed these few years. 8)

Cannot see anything as in totally dark? I don't understand why need to block the wind either for those high floor HDB.

You can ask HDB or Lawrence. They can answer you. Hillview peak is a PIG.
To prevent some VIP from being shot by would-be sniper from high floor at these places??? (Like the Dallas snipers shooting the policemen?)

Sorry Pynchmail was away since my last post.
Understand from the agent and developer, the width is it about 2 ipads, and it is 90 degree. And yes there are screens @ the balcony. If you were to look closer there are 4 screens @ the balcony - from there you can estimate the distance within. I have a picture of similar screen @ the Hillier - so it is impossible to be totally DARK ( that's too much of pepper salt he added in basing his imagination :s)
yeah their official website now have a update on units left, so neighbors , you can now check whether units around you are all sold or not :)

already heard of a story of an owner desperate to rent elsewhere for a few months while handing the unit back for multiple rectifications.
hi all,
Been reading this thread with keen interest as i am contemplating if i should consider a re-sale unit in this development Hillview Peak for own stay. For those that are already staying there or sold your units. May i know what is your view of this development? Saw quite a few units put up for sale on the property portals.
thank you!
