You should go to Dakota. At first glance, every impressive, so many cars parked outside the showroom. Then it dawned on us that actually these were the agents' cars. Agents far outnumber the small number of visitors today.

No new stacks released... also existing stacks sold out.

All went to see Livia. Crowded mann!!!

Wannabe... SEEMS THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO TALK DOWN ON ALL RECENTLY LAUNCHED PROJECTS.

Home buying is akin to buying car. Emotions play a big part.

People are rich... why bother to use such words. You assume everyone is hard press for cash. Bargain hunters are out in force to buy condos now.

The Dakota Residences showroom was packed today and the agent told me 10 units sold today. Anyway, this thread is about WW.... I like the project too, good developer.


Any reasons you like this project?

I think buyers of WFW chose the project because of the following reasons:

1. Not near to HDB, otherwise no difference feeling.
2. Has a reservoir which is rare in Sinagpore
3. Exclusiveness (not clutter)as most are car owners and not really bother whether has MRT (anyway mrt will be up in 2016)
4. Is like little gold coast of Australia
5. The design is good by well known architect

Genuine buyers do not mind paying a bit more. The harping about whether price drop or not drop, crash or not crash do not really bother them. while this may be going on till 2011 (top), buyers will start enjoying their brand new condo & resort living.

Singapore c.bank sees more downside risks to markets
Mon Jul 14, 2008 6:37am EDT

SINGAPORE, July 14 (Reuters) - Singapore's central bank said it is closely monitoring financial markets in the wake of the crisis surrounding U.S. mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and warned of big downside risks in global markets.

"Significant challenges and downside risks in the international financial markets remain and financial institutions and investors should stay vigilant," the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said on Monday.

"The direct impact of the credit crisis on financial markets and financial institutions in Singapore has been relatively modest so far," the central bank said.

Singapore's Straits Times stock market index .FTSTI has fallen 16 percent this year. The country's three banks have suffered relatively modest writedowns on their debt investments as a result of the credit crunch.

The U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve called on Sunday for sweeping measures to lend money and buy equity, if necessary, in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which own or guarantee $5 trillion in debt -- close to half the value of all U.S. mortgages.

The U.S. government plan to bolster the government-sponsored mortgage financiers helped calm markets on Monday, but did little to allay fears about the health of the U.S. financial system.

The MAS declined to comment on whether any of Singapore's foreign reserves are invested in debt from Fannie and Freddie.

Singapore had about $177 billion in its foreign reserves as of the end of June.

Foreign central banks, mostly in Asia, hold $979 billion of the $5 trillion bonds and mortgage-backed bonds sold by Freddie and Fannie.

Wannabe is the one talking down many properties other than Telok Kurau, when the Telok Kurau properties pales in comparison in terms of amenities, condo facilities, architecture, views and landscaping as compared to those he keeps criticising.

Drove past Waterfront Waves.. got another showroom next to Waterfront Waves.. is it be Far East Organization?

Wonder whether it'll bring down the prices of Waterfront Waves? (showroom empty sial. )

sunny
18-09-08, 14:04
i don't think so...reputation is very important to the developer. all three plot of land belong to fraser ct and far east. they will not sabotage each other...further more, the developer knows that the market is very weak now and they can take their time to complete the project...when the project completes in 2012, i believe market should have recovered by then...

Sibor Falls To 4-year Low
The Straits Times
Wednesday, 12 November 2008

http://www.hotvictory.com/hvlist/gallery/515.jpg

The all-important interest rate at which banks lend funds to one another has nosedived to 0.89% - its lowest level since mid-2004.

This is likely to be good news for many home owners, who are set to enjoy lower mortgage rates soon. Rates on other consumer loans may also fall.

But the outlook is not so good for investors holding fixed deposits - as their interest rates are likely to fall as well. And businesses big and small will not necessarily get a flow-on benefit of lower borrowing costs.
Nice picture of WW.

Given the current market condition (and also considering 2009 forecasts), paying $660 psf for a 99yr leasehold property seems kinda risky... :scared-4:

Could it go down as far as $5xx plus psf? maybe, maybe not.. it just depends on how desperate the developers are.. however, judging on the past 3 months' transactions from URA, sales are pretty dismal..

sunny

very unlikely prices will go down to 600 plus psf. maybe those at the ground floor without view. must know that the current crisis is just another economic cycle. if developer can sit thru', who knows in the next bull run, prices may go above 1000 psf. :D

your sunny outlook of 2009 is very commendable.

However, i quite agree with you that this current crisis is another economic cycle. Just like how the past 2 yrs of economic growth (and greatly driven by heaps of property speculation) helped push the psf from 400-500 plus to the current norm of 700-800.

My point of view is that 2009 prices will be down to post-frenzy prices and will make my purchase then. While this happens, I'll be waiting by the corner, drinking my kopi-O kau and smoking my marlboro reds. :47:

I wish you were the developer's management staff. :) Makes our marketing job easier.

Highly unlikely for a developer of that strong financial status to sell below 600psf.

Hi Roger,

Thanks for your quote.. I have a question, do you see any pressure from the developer in lowering prices? So far, I've noticed from URA that no transactions since Nov'08..

Also, the developer has launched 222 units and still 76 units remain unsold (URA data as at Dec'08)..

checked before, heard there is no firm plan. but some think is near to sengsong. i think if MRT is to built, one of the stop must be at Temasek poly. in this case, it seems that the MRT track has to route along Ave 10, unlikely to be along the bedok reservior road.. just my thoughts.

I have surveyed the surrounding recently and found that stack 15, 16, 21, 22 & 25 are facing directly the HDB opp. which are less than 50m apart. wow, that is not very good. The designer should have some of these stacks positioned at the tennis court site.... at least they face the park opp instead of HDB which are so near.

In a land scarce country like Singapore, land is expensive. Developer will maximise whatever space they have. It is unavoidable sometime. If you choose those facing reservoir, you have a fantastic view which come at a premium but you have to "tahunt" the traffic noise night & day. Of course for those who are rich & can afford to leave the air-con on whole day than these stacks are the best. Left and right are reserved for new development. Facing the park is good but I think you may get the noise from PIE. stack 15, 16...etc. which you mentioned, I think developer has problem because of space constraint but at least it screen off the noise from PIE and afternoon sun and has a open HDB carpark creating some opened space and quiet. Those pool facing which people always claimed good are normally facing opposite neighbours and blocked all wind coming in. You can even see & hear what your neighbour cooking for some of my friend condo which I visited. So u have to decide which one u can "tahunt" more. One think I find good abt WW which is designed by DP architects, it seemed that the units are spacious and the facing is outward minimizing facing your neughbours which can be metres about.:confused:

think stack 25 is the best buy with best price.... balcony facing tennis court, and with the bedok town park seperate from PIE... if you stay higher, actually is noiser... noise travels upward :)

once again, huge huge balcony area.

28-02-09, 20:47
yup, 600-730psf for the star buy below 8th floor. Reservoir facing still selling at >800+psf.
sold 8-9 units since relaunched with new price.

Showroom setting up for the other plot of land (not the waterfront collection). From the outline of the showroom, it seems not as well design like waterfront wave, probably priced cheaper (just thoughts).

this may stir up a price war for that stretch.

It will not amp. the noise. Noise travel in all direction. In high floor, your units are not being blocked, so the noise is not being absorpted. It is just as you are next to the noise generator.

I heard the price is from $600psf for those units with pool and park view and those with partial reservoir view are from $630psf. Quite a drop from their previous pricing.

Whole pc of land belongs to Fraser ? My understanding from the agent, fraser owns the land on the water front wave (of course) + the plot nearer to baywater. They called it the waterfront collection.
At the other end (nearer to the HDB), there is one more showroom setting up.. I dont think this belongs to Fraser. the style is somewhat different, look slightly "cheapo" compare to waterfront wave.

I heard that they will be closing the current showroom and shift to the new one,.. along the road further down from the PIE (bedok north ave 3) exit...

yes, far east was bad maybe 10-15 years ago... if you ask those middle age person, they will tell you the same thing...

Anyway, this is a JV between FCL and FE... FCL is the lead managment, so should be better...

Got agent called from the sales site, saying very very cheap now. but asked further, those good facing, higher floor all around end of $700 psf. full reservior maybe over 800 psf. no diff from previous. the cheap cheap one are those no view, low floor type. the total price is nearly to $800K. Given such big big balcony, bay window everywhere, how to resell after few years stay? what's the selling point for such kind of unit? don't forget such unit in the near by projects was ever down to $500K!

so think twice. rather pay a bit more ($100K?) for good facing unit, or $300K more for D15 FH projects :spliff2:

$300k extra to buy D15?!? I better spend $300k to buy another HDB to rent out...

hmnnn... i'm not sure... unless a person loan 90%, and the project take longer than expected time to complete... if not, i think progressive payment is better... atleast the interest before TOP is lower... pay off sooner is better...

I refer to my past info.... it is about 3%... so not much benefit... probably 5-10k saving if u get IAS...

benchmark the double bay, progressive is 886k while IAS is 906k... so 18k... i have old info of property 800k, loan 80%... the interest till TOP is ~24k...

Thanks Kgchong & noblebaby.

I think both of you got a point. I think the saving is actually the interest
that buyer supposed to pay the bank when it disburse the loan to developer when the structure is progressively built.

As to noblebaby point, I don't think there is a reduction in
capital sum but rather benefit of delay in paying the interest.

The benefit is more of delay in coming out any money until TOP
and provided we make use of the money saved to generate some interest
otherwise it seems not much difference. Quite similar to the defer payment scheme I guess.

Don't know whether I got it right.:p

I think is more of personal preference and the reservoir being the intrinsic value of this project. Imagine coming home after a hard day's work and relax at the "lake" some called it. In fact I remember those days when only the very rich owns condo. all their location are ulu, ulu where everybody owns a car not like now where they are next to HDB flats etc which
are not very much different from staying in HDB flat.

To those who are just buying for investment in mind, I think you may be right but than how many condo in Singapore is just 10 to 20 metres away
from a reservoir, pls name me one beside those at bedok reservoir.

I am in total agreement with WaterLover. It is sufficient to stay just a stone throw away from a nice peaceful lake than to pay high premium to stay directly facing the lake. and not to mention the road before the lake. I hope someone do notice that there is traffic lights and bus stops there!

If i were to buy one unit there, i wud rather spend the premium on my ID. I can imagine myself taking a walk along the lake after dinner at home. :ashamed1:

If I'm not wrong, Casa Merah and Waterfront Waves were launching at the same time... however, Casa Merah is going to TOP by this year, but why Waterfront Waves is still a piece of empty land? What's wrong with this slow progress? :banghead:

Casa Merah launch much more early than waterfront Waves

Waterfront wave , by right should launch early but due to a resident went to court to stop the transaction. It was delay.

Casa Merah launch at April 07 while Waterfront Wave, phase 1 is during Q1 08

I'm actually quite interested on this project... and just found out that the Downtown Line stage 3 will be running through Bedok Reservoir... :scared-4:

Background of The Downtown Line

1. The construction of the $12 billion Downtown Line is part of the plan to develop a comprehensive rail network system to meet our travel needs in the future.

2. The Downtown Line will be built in three stages with a total of 33 stations. These three stages are as follows:

• Stage 1: The 4.3km Line comprises 6 stations. These stations are: Chinatown, Cross Street Landmark, Bayfront, Promenade and Bugis. Stage 1 of the Line will be completed in 2013 and will provide a strategic transport link to serve workers, residents and visitors in the exciting Marina Bay area and upcoming developments such as the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resorts and the Marina Bay Financial Centre.

• Stage 2: The 16.6 km Line will feature 12 stations. When completed in 2015, Stage 2 of the Line will run from Bugis along the heavy Bukit Timah traffic corridor to help ease congestion. Commuters traveling from Bukit Panjang to the city will be able to cut their travel time by 10 minutes.

• Stage 3: The 19.1km Line will feature 15 stations. It will run through MacPherson, Bedok Reservoir and Tampines ending at the East West Line Expo Station. Scheduled to be completed in 2016, it will reduce travel time by 10 minutes for commuters traveling to the city from Bedok Reservoir and Tampines.

3. The Downtown Line is projected to see a ridership of more than 500,000 daily when in full operation. Construction of Stage 1 of the Line is under way.

Do you know what is a B? Singapore GDP for last year is only 230B. Lost of 100B is equal to Singapore economy is at complete rest for 5 months.

Of course that is only paper lost. Hopefully Citibank will rocket soon... Otherwise GIC will have to change name liaw. :D

Seriously.... I cannot decide. Which is better... The quartz or Waterfront??

The Quartz is very near MRT but no view and blend into HDB. Waterfront have wonderful view and surrounded by private properties... Hmmm.. is it more worth to buy??

I think Quartz is almost fully sold. Last heard 2 weeks ago were 7 units left and most of them were high floor and will be more expensive. It may be fully sold by now. So I think no need to consider Quartz already.

I think you probably refer to the planter. They are not meant for putting tables and chairs. (Only few units got balcony if I am not wrong. Those at very high floor, and they are not small either).

If you like nature, I think waterfront waves is a good choice... and it's near to Tampines too... several public buses to there also if you dont want to drive...

Heard there's a new showroom... i may go to see it tomorrow... I visited the Quartz showroom also... for the same price, i would go to waterfront... more important is lifestyle... :)

yeah, sub-sale price is still sky high... it is better to get it from developer... i think you missed the boat for the Quartz already...

Value of a property all depend on location. View is least important factor or more of a kind of life style or preference.

In fact, those new HDB near to Bungkok MRT look quite modern & elegant + underground car park.

In term of potential, The Quartz is definite higher. Future punggol waterfront + Serangoon Mall + Easier & faster to reach orchard.

For waterfront, the future MRT station is at the other side of the lake + it is still quite uncertain there will be a MRT station + When?.

Take a look at those HDB around Bedok reservior/Bedok central and those at Buongkok, and compare their price. See which one is higher. :doh:

Future Punggol waterfront??? As you said, Gorment lost billions... they will atleast pump in $$$ into Orchard and Marina Bay first... and delay other plans... if you think the MRT station to Bedok is uncertain and it'll be same to Punggol waterfront, both is "when"?!?!

Furthermore, Fraser + Far East will be coorporating with PUB to develope and improve the water body and features of the Bedok Reservior...

Serangoon Mall - that's far away!!! Bedok is near to Tampinese with 2 existing malls and a new one coming up soon... there's also a new mall coming up near Bedok MRT, developed by Fraser...

Bedok central and bedok reserviour is at least 1.5KM apart. We are comparing bedock reserviour with Bungkok :banghead:

Punggol waterfront is already in Master plan 2008. But not bedok reserviour station. So, punggol waterfront is definitely an early project then that new MRT line.

If FCH and Far East can't sell their project at high price, do you think they still will 100% commit themselves in that project?

Although i own Quartz, but what is stated is all facts just to showcase that The Quartz has higher potential then waterfront's from the current developer price from. :)

Not sure you aware of new ruling. In old project, developer charge the smae psf for those space in Balcony + planter. In future project, Balcony and Planter is not chargeable. This is new ruling. So, do you think future buyer will pay for your balcony and planter? I think the answer is obvious.

So, those big balcony + big planter lover, please beware. Otherwise you may need the boom in 1997 + 2007 to occur together, in order to make profit in the resale or else have to wait for enblock :D

You are right, individual preference. The Quartz is a good buy. I think you can make a lot of $$$. For me I will prefer house that I like and usually
comes naturally when i see the surrounding and the internal (the moment I walk in)-resort living type as well. Never really put profit as first priority. Maybe that's my weakness. Afterall about 2/3 of the time at home can't imagine if you don't like the house. Cheers;)

I visited the new showroom this morning, quite crowded... the new showroom displays the 3brm (Type B1b) and 4brm (Type D1) units, with totally new interior design. Looks a lot nicer than the previous one.

Now the developer also shows the completed model to display the facing and position of all the stakes. I think they have released all the stacks for sale, average selling price is from $580 psf. :D

I just bought a place at Waterfront waves under the star buy promotion at stack 3 for 616 psf (Agent said that there is reservoir view from bedroom 3). Love the location but i am getting cold feet from reading all the negative reviews from this thread. Any advice from you guys? For its my first property meant for me and and my future husband.

A good project for own stay. I think you have to thanks Soleil, otherwise they will not continue provide Compressed marble floor for the new pricing unit.

High investment potential if the DTL open a station nearby. Otherwise, wait for enblock! :(

Individual will have their own preference. So maybe i won't want to know what is so odd about kitchen and surrounded by new HDB flats. But if you do have time, please go to take a look at those new HDB flats behind Quartz. I assure u will be surprised!

Not sure you aware of new ruling. In old project, developer charge the smae psf for those space in Balcony + planter. In future project, Balcony and Planter is not chargeable. This is new ruling. So, do you think future buyer will pay for your balcony and planter? I think the answer is obvious.

So, those big balcony + big planter lover, please beware. Otherwise you may need the boom in 1997 + 2007 to occur together, in order to make profit in the resale or else have to wait for enblock :D

I think you have serious misconception on workings of the new balcony and planter rule and its implication on future developments. You are wrong to say that "Balcony and Planter is not chargeable". Balcony and Planter will still be chargeable by developers to buyers. BUT URA will now charge the developer GFA! The main issue is that whether balcony and planters are indeed totally useless as portrayed by people like you.

There are many people who likes big balcony with planter. Only problem is that some developments do not have balcony at all but lots of planters. That is known as being shortchanged. Personally, do not like developments that have no balcony. Interestingly, residents with balcony are less susceptible to illnesses in a high density environment (Johnson and Newton 1996). In addition, it offers visual relief for high density living. The experience of chatting and coffee breaking on the balcony with your loved ones or friends is also very unique and offers another whole new dimension to your apartment.

:doh: prices did come down. i bought my unit last may. based on the same level at stack 23 and with better view than my stack 19. it is cheaper by 16k plus.

16K plus? But from what was advertised & agent advertisement, I thought the price has gone down easily more than 50K. Is there some funny tricks going on?:eek:

I think the price for pool facing is still holding well... Buy 16k is like no drop... Im not so sure.. Based on my info, the drop is atleast $50psf... Except those lake view unit... I think most of d lake view unit are almost sold out... Now mainly left those pool facing.

I certainly do not think that a good name like Far East and Frasers would ever compromise on the quality of their development and not to mention that WW will not be their last showcase as they have a few more developement to launch. They would be smart enough to better exceed their clients' expectation in order to ensure that they can achieve better sales in future :cheers1:

Rush for URA approvals before window closed

Developers sought provisional nod in Q4 2008 just prior to new rule on GFA

By KALPANA RASHIWALA


(SINGAPORE) All's quiet on the property front but developers secured a raft of approvals (provisional permission) for private residential projects from the Urban Redevelopment Authority in the last quarter of 2008.

The key reason for this is that developers rushed to make their submissions for provisional permission (PP) before a new ruling that scraps the exemption of bay windows and planter boxes from gross floor area (GFA) took effect on Jan 1, noted Credo Real Estate MD Karamjit Singh.

He said: 'With effect from Jan 1, 2009, for any submission for PP, URA will consider bay windows and planter boxes as part of GFA, and that brings down the total saleable area in a project by about 5-12 per cent. So developers were making submissions to secure PP before the change in ruling kicked in - even if they didn't intend to develop or launch their projects in the near future, given the current downturn.'

Agreeing, DTZ executive director Ong Choon Fah said: 'Bay windows and planter boxes are an important contributor to developers' profit margins. In the past when they bought land, they would have assumed these would be exempt from GFA.'

Hong Realty (part of the Hong Leong Group) received PP in Q4 2008 for a 1,517-unit condo project at Pasir Ris Drive 8, while Far East Organization unit Arts Associate Co secured URA's approval for a 234-unit condo at Jalan Datoh/Jalan Dusun in the Balestier area. And Bukit Sembawang bagged PP for a 200-unit condo at St Thomas Walk.

Horizon Partners Pte Ltd - whose shareholders are Hotel Properties, Morgan Stanley Real Estate and Qatar Investment Authority - picked up URA's consent to develop a 253-unit condo and eight detached houses on the Horizon Towers site at Leonie Hill Road.

URA also granted PP between October and December to NTUC Choice Homes unit Choice Homes Gamma for a 571-unit condo at Lor 2/3 Toa Payoh; to TID Pte Ltd for a 282-unit condo at New Upper Changi Road/ Tanah Merah Kechil Ave; and to an MCL Land unit for a 520-unit condo at Yishun Ave 1/2 fronting Lower Seletar Reservoir. The three proposed developments are on 99-year leasehold sites sold through the Government Land Sales Programme last year.

Casuarina Properties, controlled by the Lee Foundation and members of the Lee family, received URA's permission for a cluster housing development at Mount Rosie comprising 191 terrace homes and two semi-detached units.

The proposed Pasir Ris condo project by Hong Realty is on a massive 2.1 million square feet plot that Hong Leong Group owns in Pasir Ris - which the 1,822-unit Livia condo launched last year is part of. City Developments has a 51 per cent stake in the site. Sources say the site was bought for just $10 million decades ago, was originally treated as land for rural or agricultural use and had restrictions on its title.

In the commercial property segment, Hotel 81-linked Citywide Land secured PP to develop a 902-room hotel at Kallang Road in Q4. The project will also have about 4,090 sq ft gross floor area of shop space.

At Jalan Besar/Laven- der Street, Prominent Plaza Investments/Prominent Site Pte Ltd secured URA's consent to develop about 133,800 sq ft of offices and 13,500 sq ft of shop space. Over at Changi Business Park Ave 1, United Engineers Developments picked up URA's consent for a project comprising a 301-room hotel and 59,740 sq ft of shop space.

URA also approved several industrial property projects in Q4. Keppel Shipyard received PP for additions and alterations to its existing factory at Pioneer Sector 1, as did Yamazaki Mazak Singapore for its existing plant at Joo Koon Circle.

URA also granted PP for factory developments to General Magnetics (at Lorong 4 Toa Payoh), Index-Cool Furniture Design & Construction's (Eunos Avenue 3) and Oxley Opportunity #9 Pte Ltd (Pioneer Crescent).

The misconception with what many people like Mr Isaaclim believe is that government rule that GFA for planters and balcony now exempted when developer marketed apartment to consumers. This is not true.

Let me quote from the URA Circular: "URA will leave it to the developers and building owners to decide if they wish to continue to provide bay windows and planter boxes for their residential developments so long as these building features are counted as GFA. The industry will have a free hand to design and provide these building features based on their commercial considerations as there will no longer be restrictions on the size of bay windows and planter boxes."

In short, currently, there are many developments such as Mr Issaclim's The Quartz which is filled with planters but no balcony. With the change in rule, developers will be motivated to reduce the number of planters by trying to build more usable enclosed space or still cater to planter but inside balcony to enjoy 10% GFA exemption. This will benefit future consumers since a development with just pure planters (no balcony at all) is usually used to rip off unsuspecting purchasers.

As for the newspaper article, there is a misleading statement made by Credo Real Estate MD Karamjit Singh on the decrease in saleable area by 10%-15%. There is actually no change in saleable area UNLESS developers decide to remove all the original planters and bay windows originally planned.

Isn't planter and balcony are being exempted from GFA until 1st Jan? I am really confuse on you this statement "This will benefit future consumers since a development with just pure planters (no balcony at all) is usually used to rip off unsuspecting purchasers." ???!!!

Just make it simple. Balcony and Planter are a mean used by developer to rip off purchasers. With new ruling, they are not longer able to do that.

Ask you a question?
A 1313sf unit without balcony - 600psf

Mr Isaaclim, that is why I pointed out that it boils down to the issue of the value of balcony. I would say that you are a practical type of person as your perception of value in a development is enclosed usable space and attached little value to projects with balcony. For me, I will gladly take the unit with 200 square ft of balcony. So balcony is not really a means by developer to rip off purchasers. Let me stress again, only for units with big planters only. Let me pose back the question, if it is 200 square ft of planters only, will you take it?

I would prefer a 200 sqft balcony as well... layered with timber flooring... small table with warm coffee and french toast in the cold breezy morning... enjoying the nature view of bedok...

In the current modern design, we are using the facing of living room & balcony to determine the facing of unit, the south facing balcony will be better than north facing one. however, in WW, if you want to beautiful reservior view, you have to tahan the road noise and north facing....

You are right, balcony best to face south... the only south facing from WF is those pool view and bedok park view.

N-S facing is also more windy, and with minimal of west sun...

For those facing lake and water is also good feng sui, just that the road infront is abit noisy... the higher you go, the noiser... so, must compromise a bit :D

heard almost half sold already... i think the developer paid $240 psf for the enbloc (previous is waterfront view)... together with the construction cost of $250 psf (just my guessing, i'm not sure the exact cost for current construction)... total will be around $500 psf... price may drop a bit la... but it wont go below $550, except for those very low floor units... :beats-me-man:

stack 23 mid floor. And i think prices can still negotiate a bit... cos' the agent say bring cheque and can lower abit.

They even show me the future development between waterfront. The same developer bought the land but they sell them separately as 3 developments. there are some atcks that can see your own pool and other development pool.

To me, planter and balcony are all useless space. So I think my choice is clear.

Balcony/Planter is definitely cheaper then enclosed space from development cost aspect. If developer sell those two units at the same price, isn't the unit with bigger balcony/planter is a rip off?!!

Waterfront condos coming up at Bedok Reservoir (http://forums.condosingapore.com/)

FOUR condominiums will be built where the former Waterfront View estate in Bedok Reservoir Road used to be.

The first will be launched in the first quarter of next year, said developers Frasers Centrepoint and Far East Organization yesterday.

It will be called Waterfront Waves and have 405 units, of which more than half will be three- and four-bedroom apartments. More than 60 per cent of the units will also have reservoir views, the developers added.

The Straits Times understands that the other three condos will also have 'Waterfront' in their names and are likely to be of similar sizes.

Together known as the Waterfront collection, the four-condo development is the largest in the area to have a direct water frontage, the developers said. In all, it could have 1,600 units.

The developers are also in talks with the Public Utilities Board about 'enhancing the neighbourhood's communal parks and water bodies'.
Although property consultants will not disclose prices for Waterfront Waves, they believe prices may start from $700 per sq ft (psf).

Mr Ku Swee Yong, director of marketing and business development at Savills Singapore, said units on lower floors with no water views could fetch that price.

On higher floors, prices could go up to $850 psf, he added. Frasers Centrepoint and Far East jointly bought the former HUDC site last year for about $240 psf of gross floor area.

We went there one of the weekend. Agent told me all the "starbuy" units are below 8th floor, either facing bedok park (in fact facing PIE for those higher a bit units), or facing the club house or drive way, none of the units have direct pool view or lake view. Those good facing units are not elligible for starbuy, meaning you have to pay the original price which is above 800+! :scared-4:
And the agents are very very eager to sell the units. After we left since no much choice, one of them still kept on sending SMS, asking me when to go back...

Brought the land at 240psf and selling it at around 650psf for balcony. Isn't this a bloody rip off. :)

No wonder govt want to revert the mistake that they make in 2001. Govt ordinary intent is to promote lifestyle for not counting balcony and planter in GFA. But, too bad, developer ride on this for being their major source of profit.

Yes.. WF is a good buy. Just bought one unit at stack 25 over the weekend... Park facing, a little morning sun to the bedroom and a little evening sun to the kitchen. Big balcony (116sqft) amd bright.

Hopefully, FCH can maintain profitable, such that it will not jeopardize their other project.

They are facing some hiccup in Martin Place already. :(

hmnnn... those 800psf++ is for those lake view units, which is almost sold out... for other non-pool and non-lake facing, price ranges from $560-630psf... pool facing is more expensive...

Congratz. I just visited my friend unit at The Infiniti. Their workmanship quite nice. Hurrah! FCH...!!

I visited The Infiniti also, finishing is not bad, huge balcony, haha... but for those units facing AYE, noise level is very high, the expressway is just less than 10m away! However, with the windows shut, the noise can be reduced by a lot. I tested it myself :D

As for Waterfront Waves, those units facing the bedok park is actually quite a distance away from the PIE, atleast 80m away... and the noises from expressway is blocked and absorped by many "tall" trees... therefore, noise level is actually very low with the windows open... I went up to the HDB beside the plot and "hear" it myself... So, with the windows closed, we basically hear nothing. :D

For those with a low budget like me (~600psf), and want N-S unblock facing yet near to nature, i think unit facing the bedok park is the best buy. :2cents:

If I'm wrong, u said u bought a unit in stack 25. But stack 15, 16, 21, 22 & 25 are facing HDB which are juz 50m away.... don't you find it disturbing???

only stakes 15, 21, 22 are facing the HDB, all 2-brm units... stack 25 facing the tennis court and bedok park, and stake 16 facing the empty land with partial lake view. ;)

I guess you are referring stake 26 instead of 16? :confused:

:doh: i bought my unit last may n my agent told me that piling will be completed by dec 2008 n my first instalment will start. he said likely top late 2011. but till now, no news of instalment yet n looking at the construction progress, i think likely top mid 2012.

cheahsg
19-03-09, 16:39
Piling work have started, thats why they shifted to new showroom. TOP should be mid 2012. Latest by dec 2012 according to the legal docs I have signed.

And if the unis built is smaller by 3% or more of the indicated size you have purchase, developers will compensate you based on psf you paid.

For those who bought a unit at Waterfront Waves, do you guys actually walk around (outside) the site before/after your huge commitment of more than $800k?!? :scared-5:

There is a big board outside the construction site, with details like project reference, developer, builder, etc.

The Expected Date of Completion written on that board is:

27 SEPTEMBER 2011

So if its stated in the board, does it mean that its likely to be that date or a rough estimate?

francistaong
19-03-09, 21:01
Please note that the notice board will be the expected completion of the construction, however there will still be the interiors and landscaping to be done. As such official TOP will still be Nov 2012 but as per norm can estimate to be about 6 months ahead.
Hope above can help to clear any doubts.
Please call me @91163014 if you need further answers

Wow, such a small project needs 3 years to built, Zzzz :sleep:

Yeah... Three years is pretty long. I heard that Casa Merah took only two years.

For those projects that are going to TOP by 2H09, with basement car park, they were launched in 1H07... So, it's about 2 years+

In the time like this, with low construction cost, I think the developer wants to complete their project a.s.a.p in order to collect the full payment.

Credit tightening is another problem for highly geared developer...
