2. Sant Ritz
3. Eight riversuites (boon keng)

how does this match up?

1. Sennett residences
Should be the best plot amongst the 3 because it is furthest away from PIE/Macpherson Rd and also nearest to the MRT station. Good size plot with nice facilities.
2. Sant Ritz
Nicest architectural facade (European style) amongst all. Best layout for individual units. Cheapest average prices of all new launches at Potong Pasir.
3. Eight riversuites (boon keng)
Even cheaper than Sant Ritz. But kiap by 2 very very busy road. The worst thing is, almost 900 units all squeezed into that small land.

Ai Yah, living in the city is like that .. surrounded by roads which means quick easy access to bus stop , public transport .. imagine you have to walk 600 or 800m - 1km just to go around a condo or landed build-up place to reach a bus-stop or call a taxi .. or reach a shop or near to HDB amenities..

IN short, all the condos at P P are very good liao ... city fringe, near MRT means eascy access to everywhere ... half distance travelled everywhere whether by MRT stops ..bus ..

Don't any how complain hor .. once P P condos snap up .. only far far OCR available like sengkang ponggul sebawang Pasir ris .. travelled by MRT, taxi or bus is more than double the costs and time okay.... talk about big ego small brain ...

visited the showroom today. decent size crowd but definitely not overwhelming like sky vue. was impressed by the layout which is well thought out with minimal wasted space. reminded me of sennett residence which has a similarly generous layout. bedroom sizes are decent and can fit in queen size bed while the living room size is also pretty comfortable.

also noted the 6 "landed" 2 bedder units which are abt 106sqm. interesting concept but overall quantum quite steep at 1.5m plus. wonder whether these will be the first to go?

anyone considering getting a unit there?

Hi... how about the finishing? Marble or homogenous tiles?

The 3 developments, Sennett Residences, Sant Ritz and The Venue are launched at different times within a year; but all are sold at approx. 1450psf.

On hindsight, which would you buy? especially for buyers of Sennett & Sant Ritz who could have thought that the CDL project is likely to be above $1.6K psf based on its highest tender price for the land.

Hence, would The Venue be the "best" buy since it is a mixed development at around the same price?

Hi... how about the finishing? Marble or homogenous tiles?=the finishing for The Venue is Marble. Sennett is also Marble. Only Sant Ritz is homogenous. Sant Ritz finishing is pretty lousy. Sennett and The Venue finishing is comparable but I prefer The Sennett floor plan for 2bedder and the spot site.

i have been pondering over the same thing. it's a close call between Sennett Residence and the Venue.

Sennett Residence - nice name with the best location. layout is very good and generally very liveable. plot size is the largest although it also has the largest no of units at 332. has a 50m lap pool plus a proven developer in tuan sing. downside is that carparks are not 1 to 1 to no of units. however was thinking that this might not be an issue given the no of 1 bedder units. also the top date of nov 2017 is too long compared to Venue ( sep 2017 although just launched) and sant ritz (launched later but top in 2016)

The Venue - the mixed development concept is a draw. however it will not be managed by CDL so a bit of a dampener there. 23 out of 28 shops will be f&b so will definitely not go hungry but would prefer a more even mix with other retail shops. gd pt is that no pubs + ktv are allowed. layout is on par with sennett which makes it very liveable as well but the location is inferior given the close proximity to the junction and the PIE flyover. so important to choose the inner stacks which faces sennett estate or sant ritz. also i get the impression that it will be slightly more expensive than sennett residence?

As for Sant Ritz, not in my consideration cos it's neither here nor there. layout is not as good as the other two. Plus i'm not familiar with the developer so not sure of its track record. went once to the showroom which was quite cramped unlike the other 2 which was spacious and more welcoming. finishing also not as good

conclusion: toss up between the 2 but the better location of sennett residence wins it for me. it's likely to be quieter than Venue and is farther away from the junction plus flyover. can also benefit from shops situated at Venue w/o the possible noise and smell(?)

I am most attracted to this 2BR layout. The finishing for Venue is great. Unfortunately the commercial part is kinda disappointing, with only 28 shops... was hoping for a bigger mall with a supermarket. Afterall, the MacPherson Road market (the future Jackson Food Centre) was once a very busy and popular hangout with shoppers in the 60s.

yes the layout is good but for this layoutyou would need to select stack 17 or 23. stack 17 better. stack 20 and 24 would face the expressway. the living room is really spacious for a 2 bedder and i like it a lot. as for supermarket, more likely to be housed in the mall above pp mrt.

Having gone through the floor plans of all three developments, the layout of Sennett Residences is the worst for me. Unless we are referring to the 3+S and bigger units of Sennett Residences, the layout is surprisingly bad for a good developer like Tuan Sing. 332 units but almost 70 different (read: very different) floorplans shows that the architect is not too sure about what to do. I even see some layouts with the washing machine in the centre of two bedrooms!

I believe you must be vested in sant ritz so it is natural you are singing it's praises. However the units are a bit too small for my liking. The 3 bedroom compact at sant ritz is only 882sqft? It also has 2 aircon ledges and a balcony so i'm not sure it is really efficient. This is also about the size of a 2 bedder in the venue and sennett resi. I would therefore stick to my original choice of sennett resi. Comparison of sales at both developments is also an indication which is more desirable?

Agree that each individual has his own preference.
Yes I do have vested interest in Sant Ritz, which is why I am familiar with Sennett R as well. I went to see the Sennett R way before Sant Ritz was launched and had no doubt the showflat and finishing was impressive. But being not able to afford its 3+S and above, the Senett R will have the worst layouts for me. All its 3 bedders have open kitchen and balconies big enough to set up 4 mahjong tables or more. And I can feel the washing machine in the living room of a Sennett 3 bedder. I need a closed kitchen, at least 2 bedrooms with queen sized beds, washing machine tucked away from my sight while I am sitting on my sofa. Which is why Sant Ritz works best for me due to its layout.

Having been familiar with Sennett R and Sant Ritz, and now seeing the floor plans of Venue, I stand by my personal opinion that Sennett R had the worst individual unit layouts (unless 3+S and above).

By the way, sales at Sant Ritz is not too bad either. Already 70% sold till date. Besides its rowhouses and the 3-bedders facing Upp. Sgoon Rd, practically everything is sold too. Sennett R is not fully sold yet too, if I am correct?

Well to each his own then. I believe that is why the market is working well, everyone will have their own criteria when picking. That is prob why Sennett R found buyers for its 70plus different layouts? ( really got so many ah? But I'll take yr word for it).

Good to hear that sant ritz is doing well. I have nothing agst the development just that it would not be something that I would buy myself. For Sennett R, I believe more than 90% sold. Remember seeing Sennett R ad in the paper stating 25 units left which are prob the penthouses and low level 4 bedders that are huge in quantum. would be tough for tuan sing to move these I guess.

Good to have a good discussion. Vested in Sant Ritz as well. Think senette R has first mover advantage which has attributed to its good sales. Likewise, not sure how The Venue would fare as the other 2 would have soaked up some demand for the area.

Every layout will have its own supporters and detractors. My only concern with sant ritz is the track record of the developer. It is relatively unknown, so fingers crossed.

agree on the 1st mover advantage for sennett r. i guess there must have been something i missed abt sant ritz since there are quite a no of supporters here. will head down the show room to have a 2nd look when i have time.

not sure abt response as well but i personally feel that sales of 40-50% on launch weekend would be considered a good result.

I went down to see all 3 show flats and in fact I kinda dislike the floor plan and finishing for Sant ritz. The showflat for the 3 bedder is deceiving as one of the rooms was modified smaller to show a bigger living area. With the original living room size, there are enough space to put a decent dining table. I am not a supporter of Sant ritz but I have to agree their facade is more unique as compared to the rest.

Went to take a look at the show room on Saturday. Surprisingly, only the second week of sales, the show room was empty. I was the only person viewing the show flat. At a glance, not many units were sold, they were offering star buys for units on level 3.

I must say the finishing is good, the only downside risk is its proximity to the expressway, although the agent kept stressing that stacks facing inwards towards the landed property is shielded.

The maintenance fees are relatively high, for a 2-bedroom is $450. Do take note.

Drove past over the weekend, saw many cars in the carpark, didnt go in thought very crowded. Looks like those were agents' cars then

What is the pfs and unit size for the level 3 starbuys?

The noise from the multiple expressways and roads can be quite bad. many already complained about oneleceister but this one is worse bec it is right at the biggest road junction in singapore. Is the swimpool at the s ame level as the expressways?

This project would do well if it is not so near the junction.

Yep, when I parked, there were around 20 cars at car park which belonged to the agents. Overall quite bad experience, as I was the only person, the security guard kept following me around, took out my hp to sms and got warning by the guard not to take any photos. The agent kept pushing for 1 particular stack either 3 floor or 8 floor didn't seem keen to share the prices for other stacks and prices and what had been sold to-date. I gather the star buy for 3rd floor 840sqm 2 bedroom is approx $1.18M and cheapest 3 bed room on 3rd floor 105sqm is approx. $1.48M

Hihi friends first time posting in this forum although have been a faithful reader. Any forummers have any further views on this development The Venue? Absolutely no go? Even with new mixed development by the MRT across the road? Is this development a victim of its excellent connectivity, by being also right beside one of the busiest and nosiest junction in Singapore?

Just curious to find out more diverse views of this development, if any interest at all friends. Cheers

I guess its a tradeoff between availability of choice units or suitable quantum, versus a more comfortable and quieter living due to no huge road junction?

Would think St Mikes not too near to MRTs to be comparable, probably more 8RS(almost gone) vs Sennett (gone) vs Sant Ritz (almost gone) vs Venue (plenty available)?

The mcc location is definitely better, in fact it is in the centre of all this new developments and that is probably why it was sold last by the government. Having said that I feel venue residences apartments are a tad bigger and I think mcc apartments would probably be smaller but with higher psf. So quantum wise would be close.

They should be launching it sometime in Q1 or Q2 next year, then T.O.P. quoting 2019. My guess only.

I'm a newbie who had just started hunting to get my first private property. I went into The Venue showroom last Saturday. I was greeted by one of the property agents who happily told me I came at a right time. Why? Because the developer was giving a 22% discount for all the available units. After going through all showrooms, I finally decided on a 840sqf 2-bedder. After the 22% discount, the price quoted to me was $1.245M, which roughly translated to $1488psf! Just imagine without the 22% discount, it would be $1900psf!!! For $1900psf I wouldn't even consider Potong Pasir. Maybe this tactic is not new to many veterans here, but I hope to alert those newbies in this forum like myself on this.

I can also say I give you $1m discount ley. I just sell you the original price at $2.245m lor. Or half price also can.

By the way, I am amazed that many people didn't know "guaranteed rental yields for xx years" is also another form of price gimmicks. It's all cost-in already.

In the first place how can the venue be 1900 psf for 2bedder is impossible . if it worth 1900 psf selling at 1488 psf do you think still have unit left and you have a chance to buy by now .

This is all agent sale talk only . you go far east project they give you even more discount . haha

Shall we form a private forum only for Venue Residences residents? So that we can update one another of the progress of Venue.
I came across many condo projs have their private Face Book group created by their residents. I guess because most of these projs are large proj with large no. of residents.
I once created a FB grp for Venue residents. But not sure how to do it well as nobody join the grp. So I deleted it. Anyone here wanna start the ball rolling and open one private FB group chat for Venue official owner?

Not that I am putting the Venue down. The reason why it is not selling well is because it has missed opportunities to do so. When the market was hot, it did not launch. When TDSR was announced, the Venue lost its appeal. The Venue is also near the PIE. Noise is an issue. In terms of distance from MRT, it is further away than Saintz and Senette. It is a leasehold. Those who knows the area well will choose condos at Leicester Road and Woodsville Close because these condos are freehold/999yrs. They are also nearer to the Poiz, the new mall and MRT.

Sorry missed this msg. I am a first time homebuyer myself, so not sure if all i said are accurate. Noise travel upwards, so higher will be noisier. If dust is the concern, then the lower you choose the higher chance of dust accumulation from the roads. Both are probably adequately mitigated if you are already an aircon person. Are you not willing to purchase a unit that is inward facing?

Yes sir I'm vested here. Dropped you a Pm previously too. Which floor is the best I honestly am as clueless as you, hopefully someone else can help! But I'm guessing if facing the highway then it might be wise to be a lot higher than eye level.. Whereas if facing the road then it's a balance between cost/inconvenience from the dust n traffic noise.

Hello future neighbours! Is it selling that fast ? I thought sales was moving pretty slowly. I think facing highway is the worst. I can't comment about the noise level. But I saw someone posted about doing some balcony doors to block out the noise ? Maybe that will helps if really unbearable. But to be honest, now we see many houses right smack beside highway, getting more congested that just build wherever there is space. I personally got a mid floor pool facing unit. Hopefully it TOP soon! What I'm worried about is actually the general fengshui of venue. The highway curve towards us I read it's not so good. I hope they purposely build it this way is to mitigate the bad fengshui.

Noise travels upwards, but dirt is more for lower floors I would imagine. Not sure where is the sweet spot but it's probably either we do a fair bit of cleaning or we pay for aircon if we are facing any roads. Price u pay for a convenient location I guess

Noise travels upwards, but dirt is more for lower floors I would imagine. Not sure where is the sweet spot but it's probably either we do a fair bit of cleaning or we pay for aircon if we are facing any roads. Price u pay for a convenient location I guess

Hi JJJ,

I bought it only last year.

Sharing some good stuff. Clicked into the venue residence fb page and they are offering limited number of free defects inspection to home owners.. And the offer is expiring on 30th Nov. Don't say NV jio. Although I wonder about the wisdom of using developer-sponsored defects inspection service.. Hmm

Yes, acoustic ceiling is default for those mentioned units only. My unit half facing main road, had argued with CDL but they said not entitled. So bobian.

Just checked for roller blinds for balcony, can install, no standard design. However understand some new condo which has just collected keys recently, do have a standard type and color. So good to check with management office after TOP.

Not easy to ensure owner or residents, pratice safe internet surfing will do. Most vendor are block before they join because they will join most of the close group created. Their Facebook profile and their posting will also get them block from the group. For spammer they cam only spam once and they will be block. Beware of handsome and beautiful Facebook photo high chance a scammer and some no face Facebook user.

I have joined the closed facebook group. But I don't think it is safe to ask for unit number ? Is there any other way to ensure is residents only ? Like can I confirm with my userid in this forum instead ? Honestly I don't think non residents would want to join the facebook group also haha.

The only way is face to face verification. Admin will be able to know whether the request is from resident or not by asking simple question.

Long Story.

I was introduced to facebook closed group by one of the forum member when I was in France. Have a lot of fun and get to know a lot of neighbors before we move into Terrasse.

Since I got so much time when I was in France, I started to play around with facebook group creation. After hours of trying found out the shortest way to create a closed group.

Came back from France for good since Nov 2015.

Went for my RES course in Jan 2016, pass all my paper in Oct 2016 now waiting for CEA approval to be a RES.

Don't worry RES can just buy your info from INLIS https://www.sla.gov.sg/inlis/#/ . Most got no time to create the closed group, they are busy servicing the property owner and buyer.

Want to know more about me add me as friend.

Usually only those staying at macpherson area or working near siemens center area will walk pass venue shops to mrt.

The location next to the messiest road junction somehow hides the visibility to certain extent. People from another side, st michael and geylang bahru, unlikely to walk over.

If i were a business and looking to rent a Venue shop, i imagine i will be a semi famous tzi char restaurant from the area. Agree that footfall from passerby wont be fantastic. But the current eateries attract a healthy load of customers daily and i imagine when the roads are widened and parking improved, it will help the area somewhat.

Tomutomi
06-03-17, 12:33
Tend to agree restaurant is the safest and probably the right business to operate there.

The down side is probably on the pricing. Shops there sold with 5000 psf, monthly rental for a small 600 ft shops probably already close to 10000. Only a well known shop with high profit margin can afford.

While for shops around thong thai cres, the rental may be twice or 3 times cheaper in psf.

Yeah, that is what I found out as well. Even those shops at Macpherson Mall are asking for rent around that figure which is insane.
Just checked from squarefoot, it seems that there's zero rental transaction yet at Macpherson Mall, really quite worry with Venue Shoppes. I guess Venue Shoppes should do better than MM since there are already many famous eateries nearby. All fingers crossed, hope that it can be quite successful like the Breadtalk HQ.
