I think they should lift the income ceiling for this type of unit.
I feel that they are sending the wrong signal.
How in the world can you afford to pay off the mortgage comfortably with a monthly combined income of $12k per month!

rich dad, rich young chap, compete directly with 1m HDB :eek:
this IS city life babes!!!! xxMil public housing
I think it is time for them to modify the policy. If buy EC above certain quantum which exceed their affordibility calculation (12K household income limit), then they should'nt be entitled to any grants...:tsk-tsk: :2cents:

landed 2000sqft?? another consideration will be whether this is dual key or simply just a penthouse ... a lot of space probably wasted with the open roof terrace

if cannot, then don;t buy!
Cannot lift the income, otherwise, there will be $5m EC.;)

sis, there are several LH 99 units which were sold at high quantum, but none for EC with a 12k cap of course.
e.g for LH99 (non-EC):
Kovan Residences: 3 units for 4xxx sq ft were sold for 3.65m, 4.2m and 4.2m.
The Minton: 3552 sq ft, 3m.
Parc Centros: 2906 sq ft 2.9m.
A Treasure Trove: 3 units of 48xx sq ft sold at 2.7m+ each.
last but not least,
WATERTOWN: 1475 SQ FT $2,417,280 :scared-1: :ashamed1:

Putting afforablility aside, what on earth does a couple need such a big house? It can house a half a dozen of kids comfortably. :doh:

Thanks for the detailed price list!
But those are real condos.
EC is bound by the 5 y MOP.
Then it takes 10 years before it attains private status.

yeah. unless its priced under 2m. that EC unit prob more like giant roof terrace rather than giant penthouse hahaha.
those prices are actual transactions that took place in the past 2 years. most prob bot for own stay. feels very difficult to re-sell at an even higher quantum.

This is a mockery. An EC targeted for 12k income earners comes up with a super luxurious penthouse??
Dunno why whenever I see this name I thought it's a church...
city harvest?
lol:D
But these prices exclude discount and vouchers. What's the real prices?
bullshit.
and yes it sounds like a church.

more for own stay, not investment.
What's the maximum loan a first-timer couple earning 12k/mth can qualify for? Can't be 2.4M, so presume the rest has to be paid in cash? Or rich dad is guarantor for loan?

anyone got floorplan for this GIANT EC ph? Wld love to take a look. :)
To put things into perspective, it is almost 4x standard HDB 5rm 110sqm flat size! Even w DK and double storey, it will be HUGE!

how much are they selling?
The doctrine of subsidized housing seems to have gone up in smoke :simmering:

I would if they allowed me .. But Dont want if it's one floor staying.. one floor rooftop.
Unfortunately.. i've gotten the penthouse at one of the EC! :(
But fated one... most probably it will be one of those landed owners soon to be married children taking up the penthouse.

Perhaps these are meant for those who are actually rich but somehow declared household income below 12K? Surely these people can afford to buy. Not sure if it will trigger IRAS though :beats-me-man:
Ok, I think this one is better.. Single level penthouse of 3013sqft.
http://www.citylifeec.com.sg/site-plan-floor-plans/01_type-c1-pdf-29/
The 4030sqft one is double storey with a huge roof terrace
I think there will still be people who can buy it - young couples who just started work and sponsored by their family
they can buy it but there should be no subsidy or first timer grant. that would be a mockery of the system.
Wow. 5BR PH G4 type 4370 sqft can put a 10-seater dining table in the dining hall!

Sorry, just realized many other unit types also can put in 10-seater dining table!
Some got "study corner" somemore!
