$3000 PSF? Happy waiting. Anyway, if you happy lah. You don't work in town right? I'm referring to those who work in the city center, e.g. those in the financial or investment industry - they would have to make the trip down every day. I have no clue why people like the overcrowded Tampines Mall so much - so that's your fave hangout? To each his own lah.

Just voicing my views that the DTL3 line is not optimal. Don't be so sensitive lah. Anyway, continue to saka and kiss your MP ass - I'm sure can hit $3000PSF.

You hit the jackpot! That is the main reason why I chose WF (sorry not Wild Falcon). People like you will not stay here:D

Give FEO chance lah. They used to be infamous for bad quality but now trying hard to improve. Btw, WFW is by Fraser, not Far East, if it makes a difference to you.


I'm quite skeptical (always been) about FEO though. Agent told me it's elevated. The model also show high ground and a long staircase. Now on actual ground seems to be just half a flight of stairs or lesser. Floor plan of bedrooms looks elongated. Good. Yet to see if really spacious with quite a number of bay windows. I don't like having a/c ledge at side of bedroom bay window and sofa has no "mountain" backing though. But one thing I particularly like is no need large quantum can get high floor due to smaller area, say for 3 bedroom. I'm a potential buyer at waterfront wave!:D

True, true! My family visits Tampines on weekends very often. I like the idea of leaving the car behind and just take the train. No need to worry about parking. This is just one of the many benefits of Reservior Station:cheers6:

I agree that DTL 3 is not as perfect as we would like it to be.

But it comes with many benefits to properties around it. For eg : Increase property value, more convenience, another option of transport and reduce traffic congestion.

To all who brought Waterfront Collection, this is definitely good news.

An MRT line that leads nowhere or is highly inefficient is USELESS. It just highlights how FAR this place is from the city where the most highly paid people/ or "FTs" worked. It may affect your rental yields in the future. But for own stay like yourself whose fave "cool" hangout is Tampines Mall which is 2 stations away then it doesn't matter. But from an investment perspective, I will think twice. So speaking from a perspective from an investor, I have to see how far and how long it takes to reach the city. If 99LH and takes God knows how many exchanges to reach main financial and shopping district, then its attractiveness as an investment dimishes. After all, there're lots of 99LH within 12 stations to the city. That is a relevant consideration. I don't see how people can become so defensive.

And again, purely from an investment perspective.

far?? why don't we zoom out and look at global cities like sydney, london, new york or tokyo? 12 subway stations ain't considered the far-flung outbacks. even if we take an mrt from pasir ris to boon lay, it takes about 80mins. this is relatively reasonable considering that commuters in global cities take about an average of 90-120mins to commute between work and home

the new line isn't even out yet and you're proclaiming that it's highly inefficient and leads to nowhere. unless you're an absolute air-head or have never ventured beyond Singapore and JB, then i reckon your ranting is simply ranting.

Did you not read about the "writing in" part? Anyway, I think I counted wrongly. Bedok Reservoir probably needs to take 2 stations further east to Tampines interchange and then change to EW line to go Raffles Place. So should be 14 stations + 2 waiting time. My bad - I said 15 stations but 14 stations is still not ideal. My conclusion is that it's not meant to be radial line like DTL2 - that's why no interchanges near the city. It's more like circle-line "feeder MRT" service, i.e. take your feeder MRT to Tampines or Macpherson to interchange.

DTL2 is much better - interchanges at Botanic Gardens (CCL), Newton (NS) and Little India (NE), Bugis (EW). Doesn't make you move "backwards" to interchange and waste precious time.

Anyway, I still haven't figured out how to get to Orchard Road from here. - probably take close to 17 stations just to reach shopping district. Unless you do major transfers and walking from stations to stations.

This DTL just end at River Valley like that? Super weird man!

Sorry I don't talk much in this forum. But I do share the same sentiments with Wild Falcon. He is not trying to down play the MRT stn that you guys sees. But the no of station does matters and the availability of transfers and convenience of Interchanges does matters. NOt forgetting more station need higher MRT fares since everything now goes by distance-based.

Sometime straight-bus journey is more pleasant. Juz my thoughts.

Generally in this forum, people only want to "hear the good things". And if one highlight a potential negative point or a contrarian view without an apologetic stance (e.g. too many stations and interchanges to reach city centre), u get hailed all kinds of abuse.

Only hear the good things.

And you really don't have to conform and start with "sorry" just because you take a different stance :) If everyone thinks the same, then nobody's thinking.

Don't say DTL3 is useless leh, at least for people stay in D18 can visit Bedok reservoir more frequently as it becomes more accessible (then I can plan my weekend family MRT trip like go Bedok Reservoir at 5.30pm, dinner at either Tampines West or Tampines or Airport at 7.30pm and get back to Simei at 9pm, even better than driving !!!)

Life is good, don't get into negative feelings.

hi qianfugui, from an objective perspective, will having an mrt line with many stations be worst off than not having any? A true investor will look for new opportunities right? With this DTL3, the attractiveness of the properties along the line will become more viable as an investment option as compared to without, no? There are many types of target tenants a true investor will look for. Only focusing on those working in central area narrows your scope of potential tenants, no? Potential tenants who work in Changi who may previously not consider the area around the reservoir will suddenly stand up and take notice, thereby increasing tenancy opportunties, right? I do not have any issue with you agreeing with anyone if the argument is constructive. In fact, most will appreciate it. But if some clown comes along and start making ridiculous claims, then you cannot expect others not to comment. And before you jump in to support anyone, please read the threads carefully or you may end up being categorise as being of same mind, which is quite sad if you are not.

Btw, I'm sure there are still some confusion on how the new distance-based fare system works but shouldn't it precisely be based on distance and not the number of stations on the line? I am no expert in this topic so I may be wrong.

missing the point completely. it all boils down to developers using these mrt lines to justify jacked up prices. one should not be asking if mrt will increase prices; rather one should be asking if such prices are juatifiable and safe in the medium term. remember that the rollout will be a v long time. and there is a difference between vanilla stations and larger mrt hubs.

look out for areas that have a large enough space for a major commercial node. and not all localities can have substantial subterranean digouta

noblebaby
23-08-10, 18:14
how to justify the value of the unit??

If the entire area sellig at the same high price, and the surrounding HDBs r also selling at high price + high COV.

unless private condo got those figures like P/E, P/B, etc etc :D

anyway, a lot of thing money cant buy also.

Hi
To begin with if you have followed this thread from the start.

Most if not all WFW buyers bought it w/o knowing that there
will be a station right beside. Even developer did not know.
Some speculated near tropica. I guess most are buying more
for self stay as they like the environment, particularly the reservoir. Of course is a bonus if there is capital gain in the future.

Thanks to Noblebaby & Ken who did alot of legwork, photos & research to predict where's the exact location of the Stations. The WFW party mood just build up till....

So you can imagine the joyous mood when the DTL 3 is announced right beside us.
Not all are buying purely for investment in mind and we did not claim that this is the best investment property in sgp.

The shout of "huat", gold coast, etc is the crazy party being estatic and rejoicing & celebration I guess. No time to analyse the line yet.

It is not so much of deffensive but rather I guess knee-jerk response to a somewhat different frequency & agitated guess who did not understand what's this estatic mood all about.

I believe there are even big time buyers who bought just to enjoy & serve their guest over weekend watching water ski & dragon boat race.

Hope everyone has cooled down & get back with life..:p

The crazy party mayb predicting when the TOP now....:cheers1:

Consider one if u are in the same frequency.....;)

Why people don't see obvious benefits of DLT3 for WFW/WFK/Baywater:

1. 25 mins during peak hours to Suntec Tower 3/4 excluding walking time to MRT, I can bet on it. It is that accurate at peak hours. If want to go city hall just walk from Esplanade station underground, aircon :D With future marina bay extension, another 5-8mins to MBS

2. 15 mins - 20 mins to Changi Airport

3. 2 stops to watch movie at Tampines

4. MRT stations near good schools e.g. St Hilda, Maha Bodhi

5. 30 mins to Bishan/AMK/Botanic garden via circle line

The lowest balcony you see in the picture is the 6th floor. And even that barely clear trees. You may have higher chance of reservoir view on 1st or 2nd floor by view through tree trunks. And I'm not being sarcastic.

The whole block looks low despite of the "elevated height". I think even the height of 6th floor is about the same as HDB 6th floor, which has high void deck.

acewee
25-08-10, 22:30
The elevation is only 1 floor up so the effect will not be very obvious on the whole. Nonetheless, if you stand along the road, you will notice the raised level quite easily. But the intent is to ensure more privacy for the 1st level units, not to allow more residents to get reservoir view.

Hi,

So in other words when the MRT is up, you would have to walk a big round along Bedok North Ave 3 ??

SINGAPORE : A Housing and Development Board (HDB) site at New Upper Changi Road/Bedok North Drive has attracted 9 bids at the close of its tender on Wednesday.

The highest bid for the mixed commercial and residential site came from a joint bid by two companies - Brilliance Residential and Brilliance Trustee - for S$788.8 million.

That translates to about S$9,051 per square metre per gross floor area.

The next highest bid came from another joint bid by Moon Holdings and UED Capital Venture which bid S$650.8 million.

The site has a land area of 24,902 square metres and a maximum gross floor area of 87,157 square metres.

The state land was launched for public tender on July 2 and has a lease period of 99 years.

HDB said it would decide on the winning bidder at a later date.

Which part of D16 is under flight path (if any)? :scared-3:


----------------------
Living under a flight path may be bad for the heart Dying from a heart attack more common among people with increased exposure to aircraft noise.

Mon, Oct 11, 2010
Reuters
NEW YORK - Living with airplanes thundering over your head could put your heart at risk, according to a Swiss study.
After studying 4.6 million adults across Switzerland, researchers found that dying from a heart attack was more common among people with increased exposure to aircraft noise.
"The effect was especially evident for people who were exposed to really high levels of noise, and was dependent on how long those people had lived in the noisy place," researcher Matthias Egger of the University of Bern, told Reuters Health.
This isn't the first time that noise has been linked to negative health effects, including cardiovascular risks.
But this study could help determine whether the sound is really exerting the effect, or if it is something else tagging along with the noise, such as air pollution.
"It's been a problem that when you look at road traffic noise there are both high levels of noise and high levels of air pollution," said Egger. "By looking at airports we were in a position to disentangle these effects."
Egger and his colleagues identified 15,532 heart attack deaths among 4.6 million Swiss residents between late 2000 and the end of 2005 using detailed information from an ongoing mortality study called the Swiss National Cohort.
Government records and environmental data helped the team determine the distance of individuals' residences from airports and major roads, as well as relative levels of particulate matter in the vicinity.
This allowed the researchers to pinpoint both aircraft noise and air pollution exposures for each individual over a period of 15 years or longer.
After accounting for air pollution and other factors including education and income levels, the group found that both the level and duration of aircraft noise drove up the risk of a lethal heart attack.
People exposed to a daily average of at least 60 decibels of noise had a 30 percent greater risk of dying from a heart attack compared with those exposed to less than 45 decibels, the researchers report in the journal Epidemiology (http: link.reuters.com/cam67p).
Among those exposed to the higher decibel levels for 15 or more years, the risk was actually 50 percent higher.
Measuring exposure is complicated by the fact that aircraft noise is intermittent and can temporarily soar above 100 decibels if you're close to one taking off or landing, explained Egger, but the average of 60 decibels is about what you would expect in a crowded, noisy bar.
Living within 100 meters of a major road also increased the risk of heart attack but the researchers found no impact of particulate-matter air pollution on the heart.
Egger said road and air traffic produce different noise patterns that might not be easily comparable as road traffic noise was more constant and arguably easier to get used to.
"Noise probably does have effects on health and it is important that we gain a better understanding of these," he said, adding that further studies were needed.
The researchers suggested that further measures could be added to protect people from noise such as sound barriers controlling the speed and volume of traffic and better home insulation.

the worst impacted by flight path would be Haig Road, Paya Lebar, Kallang and Sengkang, Punggol and parts of Jurong area....cos these areas are in direct landing/taking off path to the airbases. Anyway, Singapore is so small....when the plane makes a U-turn, more areas will be covered in its path...hahaha.....

Singapore is the ONLY country in the world when agents can tell you the "good" point of a development is "near airport". In most countries, esp western countries, being near to airport and expose to massive air and noise pollution to one's detriment is a major turn-off. That's why most airports are located away from highly populated areas.

Can also put in Quartz, Dakota Residences, Waterbank in the list. These 3 are by far the worst I have come across. Waterbank and Dakota Resi can be experienced when one goes to Old Airport Rd Mkt for meals. Quartz....you just have to be around that area to understand what I mean.

Those with babies or toddlers, like one of my staff who stays at The Quartz, should really avoid these condos. Actually, just staying a bit away from them is already better (if one really need to be in this area) as they are directly under the flight path of the fighter jets. My staff sold her Quartz and bought Florida instead.

Makes a lot of difference because Florida is 'parallel' to the runway while Quartz is unfortunately in the U-turn flight path because the jets will have to do a sharp left after take-off because turning right will hit Changi airspace while going straight will hit malaysia airspace. When the jet is turning, the sound is louder actually. As for Dakorta and Waterbank, confirm in direct landing path. You can even see the shadow of the jets during a sunny day.

We are under the flight path ..like those condos near Meyer Road .. and then those bungalows directly in front of me at Goodman area..

But ...after a while.. get used to it ... Actually, for those who are working 9-6pm weekdays, they actually won't feel the noise.

Actually, you seem to be quite familiar with the route. Can you elaborate?

I noticed that the fighter jets bank left sharply at Serangoon river and then U-turn?


Makes a lot of difference because Florida is 'parallel' to the runway while Quartz is unfortunately in the U-turn flight path because the jets will have to do a sharp left after take-off because turning right will hit Changi airspace while going straight will hit malaysia airspace. When the jet is turning, the sound is louder actually. As for Dakorta and Waterbank, confirm in direct landing path. You can even see the shadow of the jets during a sunny day.

I'm staying at Dakota Residences now..
i can confirmed! :( Very Bad for Health!
We are under the flight path ..like those condos near Meyer Road .. and then those bungalows directly in front of me at Goodman area..

But ...after a while.. get used to it ... Actually, for those who are working 9-6pm weekdays, they actually won't feel the noise.

Btw, I think the report might be referring to those AIRPORTS that are heavily used like Changi Airport.. Those with flights coming in and out every minute..


i used to live like 100m from railway track ..but on a high ground and some more 16 flr ..

i agree ..initially felt the train damn noisy ...but after 6-12mth gotten used to it ..

BUT one difference though ..the train actually SLOW down as it approach the condo ..

while PLANES cannot slow down ...

also .. for most men ... thats fine cos ..we are in office 9-5 ..imagine your family ? kind of noisy whole day ya ?

Those who work during daytime won't realise the noise until u r on leave or mc. Nonetheless, cannot escape night training days. But strangely, the night training isn't very often lately. Anyone know if they still conduct it?

I happen to be a 'beneficiary' of the noise as my current house is along the take-off path. I can see the jets do cornering from my arm chair in my living. As mentioned earlier, there is only one route after take-off.....sharp left.

Agreed on the family part. But like you mentioned, you will get used to the noise which isn't frequent. It's hourly at most, though it does not happen daily and it does not start at 9 and end at 6..

For example, this week, Monday there was jets coming in only during the afternoon time. Tuesday and Wednesday seems to be damn quiet..
At night, I have not heard the night exercise flights yet.

Anyway, I did asked my neighbour (a retiree living at goodman road) about the noise and he said it's a very small issue.

I think must stay in the area to appreciate that living under the flight path is not so unnerving (Unless it becomes very frequent like the airport...)..

I monitor and tell you guys in a month's time ! :p ..

Another one to add to "Locations to avoid":
1) Near airports, both commercial & military - Changi under the commercial aeroplanes taking off/landing path, Tenga Airbase, Seletar airbase, payar lebar airbase.
2) Near transmission towers (Hillview / Upper Bukit Timah areas?)
3) Just beside wild life areas (Bukit Timah Hills areas (got monkeys, snakes, etc) / Zoo areas (bears, tigers, lions, leopards escaped? + ???) [See recent news on monkeys!]


Singapore is the ONLY country in the world when agents can tell you the "good" point of a development is "near airport". In most countries, esp western countries, being near to airport and expose to massive air and noise pollution to one's detriment is a major turn-off. That's why most airports are located away from highly populated areas.

U forgot to mention - never stay near disease centers and hospital :)

But seriously, if one is scared of telephony transmission signals and power lines, then the entire Singapore cannot make it liao. BTW, the tower structures do NOT transmit, it's the antennae that transmit. If the antennae are not on the towers (at low density areas like Fort Canning, Sentosa and hills), they are on top of buildings lah. In short, they are everywhere - so that you can have handphone signal mah. If scared of signals, then avoid all houses that that give u "5 bar" signal. kekeke.....

From my experience, the worst aircraft jet noise pollution is the old airport road area and the vicinity, i.e. Meyer, Guillemard, etc. The noise is unbearable - it's different from road noise and even train noise. It's a sharp disturbing noise that gives me acute headache.

True true.. If I have known it's in the flight path, I think I wouldn't have bought for own stay.

But now after living in it for a week, I find it to be quite a good area to live in. Damn quiet at night. I think you guys must come to stay to believe..

Anyway, now LAN LAN.. buy for own stay.. just stay and no point thinking about the noise and the price liao :) But I still think this place is damn perfect for living .. Really enjoy the place actually.. Not as crowded as city but near city. Quiet and peaceful at night.. daytime (depends on the airforce generals whether happy or not ..and stopped sorties).

Actually, you are right on this point. There are 1-2 developments very near a disease center and facing the living quarters in it (about 50m-100m away if I not mistaken). Nobody actually think that water is a very effective medium for transmitting disease.

For investment to rent out I agree with you. But if for own stay then its personal preference lah. Heard of the hokkien saying losely translated as 'new toilet, more comfortable to shit'? Some people prefer 1st hand whle other don't mind resale. I have to admit that top ones are technically 'un-used' but its maybe a pyschological thing.

Having said the above, won't it hugely depend on the state of economy as well? It is also usually much cheaper to buy when launched then when top so why pay more, be it to developer or private seller?

For quick flipping, undeniably, brand new non-TOP is the best! But who are these people targeting? Shouldn't they be targeting the super-rich where they just want brand-new non-TOP property and nothing else? And these people buy brand new non-TOP properties in OCR at $1k psf to target the super-rich? Shouldn't they be targeting those >$3k psf? :banghead:

1) Own stay, buy and pay only for usable space, not useless space. Buy to immediately live in.
2) For investment, buy to immediately rent out, don't pay for useless space because then your rental yield is higher.
3) Buy new launch cheaper than TOP? What about the interest you pay while waiting for it to be built, the loss of rental/use for own living? Might as well buy resale lagi cheaper + more useful space in the layout (you don't pay for vacuum space (big big planter areas, air-con ledges, bay windows and super big balconies don't know for what) you can't use in the SqFt stated for that property?

I totally agree with pt 1 & 2, ie. why pay for non-usable space. I think this is a no brainer. As for pt 3, it really depends on when you buy and the economic condition. For eg those who bought WFW during starbuy will definitely have a better nett deal if you consider the low interest payable for progressive payment vs the extra quantum you have to pay when TOP for the same unit. New or old (resale) is really a matter of preference.

But based on this theory, then the 1st owner will only be tempted to sell and not stay if the offer is significantly better right? Else they will anyway stick to their original intent if there is excess supply that doesn't make selling attractive. But if you then want to buy at TOP from a seller who bought to stay, anything short of offering a good price will be rejected. Keep in mind i'm refering to own stay buyers and not investors yah.

16-10-10, 20:13
Buyers for own stay will not sell regardless of price. I believe there are many buying OCR properties to flip despite the huge increase in OCR price vs CCR because they deem them as cheap. The reason why they forsake CCR (where the properties are more "investment grade") is because those are expensive, whereas people who don't deem those as expensive generally have firepower to hold, but not those buying OCR because they need to buy cheap. Those without firepower to hold come TOP will be forced to sell cheap. In general, CCR prices will always be at least 2x-3x or more than OCR prices. With OCR prices hitting $1200 psf while there are many CCR prices still transacting significantly at <$2400 psf, then the conclusion is either OCR is too expensive or CCR is too cheap! Let's see which is the real outcome. :cheers1:

Most people will sell if the offer is too good to be true, including for own stay. I suppose investors, as in your eg., will have a different agenda and objective anyway so its not apple to apple comparison since this discussion first started off as whether it makes more sense to buy at launch, top or old re-sale irrespective of intent.

YES! That's why Waterfront Collection advertisement can claim that future MRT right at doorstep (Key), next to future MRT (Waves) and walking distance to MRT (Gold). For other developments, they can only say "Near" to future DTL station.

the launch prices have already factored in the proximity of any future train stations and informed buyers would probably have buy into these developments based on the idea.

what's there to congratulate about? those living in the older condos should be congratulated instead, cos their valuation would have skyrocketed by now

Aunty Ho is right. Unless she know how to invest.
Inflation will eat up all his profit. Since she bought
cheap there is no worry. No matter how old, the price
will not drop below what she bought.

Saw the WFW fencing. Wonder why they put up such "cheapo"
fencing. Recoup back from starbuy lost is it? FCL not scare
