Why vertical fins at most of the river facing units?
Next time go waterbay must specify already - go hougang waterbay or go punggol waterbay? Or also can specify - go kingsford waterbay or go qingjian waterbay? :)
Why vertical fins at most of the river facing units?
What is that?
What is that?
It's in the floorplans.

1165 units.. that is a lot.
Why vertical fins at most of the river facing units?
Most probably because they are facing paya lebar airbase. High floor units can get a full view of the activities in the air base.

Hhhmmm... Dun think so leh... Because
1) paya lebar airbase will be moved out, and
2) both low floor and high floor units have these vertical fins, except
3) penthouse units dun have it.
These r jus my observations. Feel free to comment. :)
ONLY One Tennis court for 1165 units??..wow/
1165 units.. that is a lot.
Parc Vera and 8 courtyards and kings ford hill view peak all got such fins for units facing military camps. May want to question the agents at the show flat before committing.

See Page 2.
Vertical fins are most
effective on the neareast,
near-west and
north exposures.

strange that most units have it but not penthouse units...
guess its a matter of passive cooling strategies vs panoramic view aesthetics
Why vertical fins at most of the river facing units?
Most units are S.East or N.West facing, they either get direct morning sun or afternoon sun.
S.East facing units are direct line of sight to Paya Lebar Airbase... warning very very noisy... unless the airbase is moved before TOP.

I understand the facing sun factor and the military security reason. I jus dun understand why low level units also have the fins whereas penthouse units dun have the fins. Perhaps floorplan error?
Anyway, time to move on lah...
Anyone visited and have pricing for 2br?

I feel that this project is not desirable due to the 2 reasons I highlighted + the many units at 1,165. Also, there are too many units on each floor of every block (about 9). I think they should have 3 lifts in every block otherwise it may be a nightmare trying to get home or going out.
Price will be announced only on March 7th. They said max PSF will be 1100$.
So roughly ~680 Sqft => max 750000$. for 2 BR with 2T
I have no idea its worth and have to wait till Dec 2018 almost 3.6 years. Any suggestion guys?
Was there in the afternoon.
The workmanship of the showroom can't make it
it.
The balcony size looKS very suspiciously supersized.
2 bedder toilets no windows...n sooo tiny.
Condo facilities are too limited. Clearly developer maximizing the 2 sites Dann well for profits. 1 tennis court for 1100 plus dwellers.wow...no visitor lots...
best part? The floorplan has a few printing errors..nonexistent 2 bedders..erroneous layouts..n site plan too!!
Amazing ...HB was saying he couldn't imagine anyone would commit when developer did such a sloppy job. Wait end up like buyers of The Aristo.

The location is good though. But rents will be very depressed. U have to compete with quite a few new projects which will top from this year onwards.
I would have brought riversails if my family lives in the region. :(
Anyone visited this morning? What is the release psf?
Heard 200 units sold, not sure true
Per Lian He Zaobao today
- 124 resi units (incl 2 semi-ds) and 6 shops sold (total = 130)
- 2br and 3br most popular
- Avg psf for units sold is 1,100 psf; range is from 1,050 to 1,180 psf
- 1 BR about $510K; 2BR about 600K to 700K; semi-ds about $2m
- Cushman & Wakefield said response slightly better than recent launches

Thanks for the update.
In other words, they have more than 900 units not sold!!!
Given their TOP is about 3.5 years from now, they have to sell at least 25 units a month.
This could be challenging.
Sales usually slow after the initial months of sales.

More than 500 people took part in the draw
However, only about 130 sold
In other words, 370 left disappointed.
It could be the psf.
My take is the psf of $1,100 is still high for this location.

A more enticing pricing would be $9xxpsf for one bedder and $8xxpsf for larger units.

Hi Jayden Lim (aka Reguators / Patrickstar /
[email protected]) why not 8xx 7xx or 6xxpsf?
Or why would developer sell at or below breakeven cost at launch?
propertybuyer073
09-03-15, 09:21
As developer, their objective is to maximize profit.
It is natural and common to price at cost plus a good margin.
The developer has bidded the land in 3Q 2013 when market was doing well. This explains why they paid $520+ psf for the land.
The market has changed quite significantly now.
Sales have slowed down by more than half.
An important question to ask is how can the developer clear the 9XX units if they remain at the current pricing of $1,1XX psf?

Have you spoken to a banker? With TDSR and a 10k combined income, it's unlikely this is a viable option unless you're flushed with cash but from previous posts, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Go get a sugar daddy, faster approval.
On a more serious note,why don't u just find a banker? Very difficult meh.

Able to buy is one thing.
Able to main ongoing interest is another.
3-month SIBOR is nearing 0.8%. It has been very low in the last few years and have been inching up recently.
It is expected to go up further.
If you think 0.8% is high, check out the historical 3-month SIBOR.
It was more than 3% before 2008.

My agent did not give me the hardcopy floorplan but gave me the softcopies.
When I measured the width of the master bed room for the 3 rooms and 4 rooms (such as 97 sq m, 111 sq m, 113 sq m in the floorplan), I observed that the distance between the walls are the same.
However, when I measured the width of the master bed room for the 3 rooms and 4 rooms in the showflat, they seem to be different.
Any one has noticed this?
Is it a URA requirement that the showroom (and the floorplan) must be drawn to scale?
similar issues as below?
Was there in the afternoon.
The workmanship of the showroom can't make it
it.
The balcony size looKS very suspiciously supersized.
2 bedder toilets no windows...n sooo tiny.

Amazing ...HB was saying he couldn't imagine anyone would commit when developer did such a sloppy job. Wait end up like buyers of The Aristo.
I just found some of the rules for developers
For example, "developers are to make available the price list of units in a project at least 2 days before the launch of the project. The launch date of a project refers to the first day when units are made available for sale to prospective home including previews or any other occasion which may take place before the official launch of the project."
However, my agent did not give me the price list.
The agent wanted me to come down to the show flat on 7 Mar (Sat) am, the launch day, to view the price list.
I got to know the price only after the start of the draw in the waiting area. The prices are only for selected units which I asked for and he took some time to revert as he needs to check with his colleague inside the showflat.
Is this the norm?
Is this ethical?
For those who have bought on Sat am without viewing the price list 2 days before the launch", what should we do???
Can we "return" the units???

Prepare to forfeit 1.25% of the purchase price for aborting as you signed off the PDI form first and OTP next.

Thanks for the advice. 1.25% is about $12,500 for a $1mil property.
On the requirement for the developer to release price list 2 days before the launch of the project, I subsequently found that it is one of the few proposals put up by URA in 2011.
Was it eventually accepted? <Most of the other proposals are accepted>
I know for ECs, the price list is released at least 2 days before the launch.
How about private condos, is the price list also released 2 days before the launch?
I'm a newbie here...

Its not a requirements for prices to be release 2 days prior to launch day for private. Anyway prices was shown to you, thats why you booked and the price was written on OTP clearly before you sign, so no case but to forfeit the 1.25%.

Some agents advertised earlier that it starts from $9XX,XXX.
Is this misleading?

Agents normally quoted what was told to them. Greed got into developer's head when they collected 700+ cheques. 140 units sold out of 700+ cheques collected was not something to be proud of.

Looks like the price has dropped , looking at the ad in property guru.
On the contrary, i monitored three similar launches in the last year, prices for all three went up. Namely botanique, kf waterbay and sims urban oasis.
Botanique sold the most, sims urban prices went up quite fast. (developer bullish despite having sold <40%)
Projects that dropped prices are the ones that launched in 2011/2012. Due to ABSD, developers highly motivated to clear. Trillinq and hillview peak mostly. We are looking at ~200k for the bigger units. Really painful for the early snappers.

I just went to the showroom a few days ago. The only advantage is the park connector. Apart from that:
1. Location jialat. Far from mrt station. In the brochure, it indicate 1.2km from Hougang MRT and 1.4km from Buangkok MRT. Please confirm the distance on google map. Theory and practical
2. Many master bedroom have AC ledge. Don't know who is the designer. Window face park connector and have big aircons to block your view. Wonder whether it is the kids/ parents who are paying for the condo.
3. Balcony is big. Not sure whether it is cheaper to build balcony nowadays
4. Rooms are tiny. Only left 1 tile space to walk around
5. The price is $1100-1200psf for normal units and penthouse cost $950-$1000psf.
For those who are interested, I suggest you hold on or negotiate harder to get a better price. If anyone here speak to their big boss or any business owner, 2017-2019 will be tough years for Singapore. I am shocked when they tell me price will continue to increase so buy quick. Buying a property is not like buying stocks. You cannot sell part of the portfolio by selling ur toilet. Once you commit, need to tong all the way. For 1 bedroom, there are still lots of buyer because of the low quantum and it is affordable despite the higher psf.
Overpriced development with unproven developer. Drop by their other project Hillview Peak to see the workmanship. It's enough to make you run away. Gathered many unhappy buyers there who may be planning to take legal action against developer.

Thank you.

62 units sold in July, almost double than that of the previous month.
At the present rate, perhaps 40 units in total for August (unless dragged down by Hungry Ghost month).

KINGSFORD Development's condominium project in Upper Serangoon View has hit a snag, after the Singapore authorities issued an order to the developer to stop building works because of its failure to meet certain requirements.
When contacted, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) confirmed that an order has been issued to the Chinese developer under the Building Control Act for its 1,165-unit project Kingsford Waterbay.
BCA said it had on Nov 22 last year received feedback on suspected construction safety issues at the project.
"BCA engineers carried out a site inspection and observed that some building works such as windows, barriers and common storey shelter had deviated from requirements under the Building Control Act and Regulations," a BCA spokesman told The Business Times.
"Given the deviations observed, BCA issued an Order on Dec 1, 2017 to the developer to stop building works."
Under the Order, qualified persons are required to verify compliance with the building works against the approved plans and the requirements set out in the Building Control Act and Regulations, and the developer has to carry out rectifications as required by the Commissioner of Building Control.
"The Order will only be withdrawn when all the necessary rectification works have been completed to the satisfaction of the Commissioner," BCA said.
Kingsford Development, which won its first residential site here in 2012, is owned by three Chinese nationals including its chairman Cui Zhengfeng, as well as Shenyang Kingsford Fulicheng House Development.
The main contractor for its development projects is Kingsford Construction, set up in 2012 with Mr Cui as the sole shareholder and director.
When contacted, the Mandarin-speaking Mr Cui maintained that there were no construction issues concerning Kingsford Waterbay and that his company is working to resolve the matter with BCA. He claimed the allegations were made by an unhappy sub-contractor.
The 1,165-unit project is being built on two amalgamated government land sale sites. Some 975 units were sold as at end-2017 at an average S$1,188 per square foot (psf). The project was slated to receive its temporary occupation permit by the end of this year.
Mr Cui said he had planned to complete the project half-a-year earlier than the deadline. But due to the Order from BCA, he now plans to complete the project on schedule.
This is not the first time the Kingsford group, hailing from the Chinese province of Shenyang, has drawn flak for lapses in its construction.
For its first residential project in Singapore, Kingsford Hillview Peak in Upper Bukit Timah, the main contractor Kingsford Construction was fined S$130,000 last year under the Workplace Safety and Health Act (WSHA) for not tending to safety lapses at the worksite of the Hillview Peak project, despite having been penalised twice previously.
The construction firm was earlier issued stop-work orders by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and fined a total of S$29,000 for safety lapses flagged by MOM inspectors in October 2014 and May 2015. But these safety lapses resurfaced and were uncovered in June 2016.
In its hometown Shenyang, the Kingsford group is close to selling out phase two of a residential project and is slated to launch a new 7,500-unit project in August, Mr Cui said.
