coming in from the entrance,
1. if turn left, the road is above surface till the back entrance/exit.
2. if turn right, you'll very soon come to a lobang which also leads you to the basement carpark. Hence, on the right half of the development there's no road above the surface
Yup spot on !:cheers6:

Hi All,
For the benefit of some members present during the meetup yesterday, we'll be compiling a bulk buying list for those who's interested in getting a CCTV for their place. Please leave your nick if interested. Thanks!

Hey Gems & Empty box

I think it is easier just to stick with emailing for bulk purchases matter.
As for the portal, we can discuss it in the next meet up. Anyway, we also need this kind of things for Facility booking in future.

Hello,
Jz a recomm.. my colleague's hubby owes a company specialized in CCTV. I can try to get a good discount for those who really needs CCTV, tho we don't need 1 :)

You ask permission from who? The security guard during our past weeks visit, say can't go in..
Great photos you have taken :)
Tks Cot, i didn't see any security guard around.Normally its the china workers that i bumped into. So far all friendly encounters heh:scared-3:

It depends. I try to take some photo few months back near the swimming pools. A China supervisor stopped me. He told me not allow to take photo before completion. :tongue3:

I think I got drop off after all the editing. Just found out over Saturday when I was talking to one of the ID that we cannot use laminate with ABS for the bay window. ABS trimming though protects the laminate edge from peeling, it has a small chamfer around the edges. As some of the bay window is > 8ft, they will need more than 1 laminate to cover the entire bay window. The chamfer between these 2 laminate will leave a small visible "valley".
Solution can be simple by using laminate with post-form (technical term). Of course, best solution is to use solid top. Depending on the length of the bay window from unit to unit, it may be $400 to $500 difference but that has a 10 year warranty.
Another idea of the planter area is to DIY using Granite slabs (natural stone) and peebles. Apparently the granite slabs is ~$15/piece and pebbles is $20 per 10kg. This may be a economical solution for the planter and it provides a very rustic and natural feel.
Only concern is I am not sure if the planter can allow such pay load (ie, Granite Slabs and Pebbles). It is really heavy if we lay the whole planter area. Will need to ask during key collection.
For competitive ID quotes, one of the best way is to "hit" most ID at one stop shop. Visited Life Style 21 on Saturday and you can see that most ID are quite willing to drop their prices to meet your needs.
Most interesting ID that I came across is Rezt and Relax that offers lifetime warranty for workmanship. Not sure what that means (eg. their prices may be relative higher to factor in warranty). But the designer that discusses with us seems reasonable and sincere. Will have to wait for their quote.
UniMax Creative besides claiming that they have gotten 20 projects from Quartz, their team of designers look quite "beng" and their "Quartz Package" is at $12.8K and can even trade bay window laminate wood with solid surface at no extra cost.:confused:
Notice the door to the kitchen is wooden type....super ugly. Anyone changing to glass door sliding type??
Maybe can include that as one of the items for mass order too.
I still haven recif any letter about TOP :confused:

Hi Issac,
I've paid about $1300 for my setup including installation. It's a H.264 system complete with remote control and 320G HDD. In the package, it comes with 4 cameras with Sony chips and also remote access thru the web or 3G.
It depends. I try to take some photo few months back near the swimming pools. A China supervisor stopped me. He told me not allow to take photo before completion. :tongue3:
I think as the contruction is ending now, don't think they will stop you for going in to take a look. I was there yesterday evening at the pool area and also inside the building, looks like they are clearing up the place for TOP already. Saw someone actually inside the units at stack 33. Will likely pop by again this weekend.
Unimax called me yesterday to inform me that they had about 20 plus Quartz owners already signed with them. They asked me to go down to their company as they will like to show me the propose ID for our unit. Do not need to bring down our floor plan as they claimed that they already have it. Will go and visit them in the next few days to see what they can offer ...

Hi Ctam,
Sure. Y dun you pass me his number so that I can find out prices from him.

Please do advise once you get the quote from Rezt&Relax.
It is a bit on the high side for my quote. They claims they are using better material. But it does not look that great on the actual unit that i visited. Especially, the choice of colours. Really not meet my taste. But they said that is indian owner. Hmm...
I think "Lifetime warranty" means "as long as we still there i will service for you at reasonable charge for those that not due to poor workmanship".
Unimax is definitely a much bigger and stable firm. They should be one of the biggest in "Build and Design" category. But, they claims they are a level higher - A real designer firm. I will meet with Unimax tomorrow nite for the quotation of my reno work. Let's see if their price also a level higher then NorthWest.
So far, NorthWest is the most attractive one in term of the price + company size.

Sure, I will let you know once I hear anything from Rezt&Relax. How high is R&R quote?
I think we also have to be careful in not just looking at price as the workmanship and material quality does vary the price a lot.
For example, Inner View that I talk to offer a quote < $9K but I am not sure how is their quality etc.
Anyway, I will let you know after they get back to me.

Sure. But compare Unimax with NorthWest should be a fair flight. Both of them all have HDB License + Case Trust as well as have done 1mil+ commercial project recently.

Hi axela_3,
Sorry, jz checked out with my colleague, her hubby's doing industrial building, not residential :o
To those that made it to the 1st meetup, it's was a great start. Let's hope that we can get our little community moving and growing!
For the 2nd meetup, we'll hold it 2 weeks from now. Any objections?
Hi..I missed the 1st gathering..2 week ( 2nd week april) , i will b around to meet..do add me in
Hi Queensway,
Pls add me in for the Chenggai planter's list. Thanks.:)
Hi,
Do add me in too..Sorry I dont know to search for the link for the planter's list..Thanks

Unimax have 20 units of Quartz??? that will be a concern for me, who knows all the unit may look the same or similiar? That saves them a lot of effort in being creative and I for sure will not want my house to look the same like my neighbour.

That is only the bare bone. It still depend on the theme you choose + the items that u display + the people that stay there...

The designer did mention that though 20 units of Quartz owners already signed up with them, they will ensure that the theme will be customize for the individual family.
Hi axela_3,
Sorry, jz checked out with my colleague, her hubby's doing industrial building, not residential :o
No probs.
Anyway, just a reminder to all, if you wanna be included into the list for CCTV, please add in your name in one of the earlier threads I've posted. Thanks!
Another idea of the planter area is to DIY using Granite slabs (natural stone) and peebles. Apparently the granite slabs is ~$15/piece and pebbles is $20 per 10kg. This may be a economical solution for the planter and it provides a very rustic and natural feel.

Another thing to remember is to ensure water will flow through the gaps..else our house will accumulate water (plus mosquito)..cos using Chenai wood, I know that water will drain to the pipe below..

Unless it is handle by different designer otherwise how different can it be? Maybe only different color in here and there?

Hi TQ1,
They do have the floor plan as I was there last week.
Apparently, they managed to get a copy of the brochure for the Quartz.
Do let me have your feedback.

Cot,
Thanks for the reminder. I did think of that too, but if I lay the granite slabs with pebbles surrounding it, I guess water will drain through?
For Chenai wood decking, I am not sure if the wood can last very long given all the possible rain and shine.
I am still battling between wood and granite now. But worry that granite is too heavy for the planter area. Anyone has any idea whether granite slabs for planter is acceptable?

Yes, you are right. They seems to have more info on Quartz than anyone of us.
As a matter of fact, after I pull out my floor plan, the designer pull a customized "Quartz Package" hardcopy print that stipulated the entire ID + reno at $12,888.
Like I said, I asked them if I can replace the laminate wood ledge at the bay window with solid surface. The designer actually committed that he will "throw" that in at no extra cost.:confused:

I was told that they will apply some kind of coating on top. So, it will not be so easy to fade off due to rain and shine.
Why do you need to fill all the planter area with stones? You can first have a wooden platform to raise up a bit, then put whatever stone you want on top of it.

I wanted to lay pebbles so that my 2.5 years little rascal will have difficulty stepping out to the planter. Though I will be installing grilles but just want to make it "feet" unfriendly.

In fact, verneer is slightly more expensive then laminate.
Do you realize in that package they do not have ceiling work at Dinning area + bedroom?
So, i am going to ask them to give it for free... Let's see...

I think you can certainly try as they seem to be very willing to close the deal. Really doesn't look like someone mentality that closes 20 deals with this project.
I realized that we have to be careful with the false ceiling in the living as the air-con blower is mounted very high up close to the ceiling already. A typical false celing will need 150mm box height, which means that the aircon may be embedded or sunken into the false ceiling (very ugly). Hence need to avoid having false ceiling near the air-con blower, need to play with the L-box layout.

wow... thanks for the quotation from unimax. but i realized that there quite a number of items missing from them le. e.g. electrical points. so far,
i have gone to a few designers and they have quoted me 2k plus. Have to run about 40 points if u want down-lights, L-box lights.
then again, it depends on how much lighting points and "design" u want. i am pretty amazed at the low quotations they have charged. even having a quartz package.
looks to me like quite a lot of hidden costs which may spiral to a lot more. and as one of u have mentioned, it makes the designer job simple as they may merely just do a "cut and paste" job, changing just one or two items.
i am not suggesting anything but guys do a look ard first before u commit. do u want to go for "designer" or the Real Designing. U might want to at least check under the IDAC if they are registered as a member. if not, they can say they are designer but end up its like contractor type then really not worth it.
and for those doing bulk purchase, my 2 cent worth is that u check with the ID. Cos things like chengai wood may be able to get better price from them.

It is a common practice that they don't include Electrical works in the quotation. Because it is work not don't by them. They will get electrician and do the coordination for you only.
Please don't comment to much on that Unimax's package now. Because that is not the package that we will go for as a group. If we go as a group, we definitely have to expect more :)

But granite slabs with pebbles, will it be difficult to clean? I fear a certain part will be slippery..Must check with ID whether it is feasible..
I'm not very sure...
Chenai wood is for outdoors, so I think should be long lasting..Many parks uses external wood to lay as well..

For me, I will still prefer chengai wood rather than granite slabs with pebbles. I think obvious reason is that chengai wood looks much neater than the pebbles. With chengai wood decking, it create a feeling of a mini balcony which in term make our sitting room more "spacious".:2cents:

ABS means a protective trimming around the edge of laminate to prevent it from peeling off from wear and tear.

Hi Quartzbie
Thats great, most owners does not have the dimension of their planter hence would have to wait till receipt of keys/floorplan. At least we have the figures to neg...
Nevertheless, i have told by one of the vendor to base on my unit dimension for quote of 10 units & he is giving me a super good price of $500+- for both planter area quoted. Expect most of the planter to falls around the same area or even bigger. (Those bigger units of cos have to pay more for the material used.) (Its chengai with 2 coating + 1 yr warranty! Direct wholesaler...) Was told that we can go to his warehouse in Spore to view the quality of the chengai used.
So far, basing on the request response we should be hitting more then 10 units. We shall wait for our actual floorplan to act further.
Pls PM me for those interested with your contact. Maybe can arrange a session of visiting for Chengai & laundry hanger...:)
Thanks for the information. We will contact u once gotta key.:)

i realize that some of u all are spending close to 20k on your reno... excluding chengai... does it include electrical? and to think u all still say 20k too expensive initially when i read the previous forum posts. guess pple realize after all that 20k is worth paying for good reno right.
Can't we name the star as The Quartz. It is in capital letter... idiot...!!!
hmmm calling people names because i spoil your plan to earn comission??
the quartz is not for you to change name here and there
u so good? help so many people save money by bulk order? u tink contractor are so stupid to give discount to everyone?
BULK ORDER = BULK COMISSION for you is it? new car? knn!
Hi TQ1,
They do have the floor plan as I was there last week.
Apparently, they managed to get a copy of the brochure for the Quartz.
Do let me have your feedback.
Hi Quartz,
I was there to meet with the UNIMAX ID last night. I think if you were there last week, you should have known that they had actually prepared 4 different packages for "The Quartz" owners. Prices ranging from $9,888 for a standard package to a $21,888 for a luxury type.
Overall the packages with the promotional prices are quite attractive for those owners who will like their units to be done exactly as they planned for us.
But on the flip side, for some owners like myself who is going to deviate from the original design will find that the package offer are not too "flexible". The ID said that it is not advisable to take out items in the so call offer items from the list. For instance, if I do not need a TV console in my master bedroom, I will need to divert this item to my other bedroom and etc.
Another point to take note is that one of the senior ID (more to a salesman) is quite "pushy". He wants us to commit on a package even without seeing the full proposal (as I need additional work to be done for my other bedrooms).
I will likely explore with Northwest (From Isaac's list of ID) to do a comparison.

u think ppl will be so stupid to buy without comparing price? If they can get good deal, why not? we are helping helping each other to save cost and here u're accusing someone taking commission. I understand u'll get con if it's an open forum but these ppl had met and i believe the level of trust is there. Moreover, we will be neighbours. Go back to your shithole and eat your organic food. Oh yes, does organic food make you scold ppl mother?

Hi All,
I am still considering whether to choose Laminated Ledge or Solid top. Yesterday, I came across an ad in "My Paper" pg A30. Its a company name "Goodhill Enterprise". It say about "Merbau Timber Deck" that is Weather and Termite resistance. It hv an webpage www.goodhill.com (http://www.goodhill.com). It has Solid wood top for the window bay. I call to ask for the price, they say $28/sft. From the website, it look not bad. Can anyone give some advice.
Thanks

I saw this from one of the threads in other areas within this forum.. This is not true right?
Extracts:
<Thanks for the tip! Just called them this morning to arrange for the delivery. By the way, we checked with the developer about it and according to them, the govt doesn't allow concealed piping for gas anymore ever since that dangerous gas leak incident, hence, back to LPG gas...>

I was at the showroom a few times in the past 2 weeks. Was told that only 2 units left unsold. #18-33 and #17-33 at Blk 33. The one at #17-33 had got a roof top terrace priced at $998K. the other one is at $956K. the former is at 1602 sq ft and the latter is at 1367sq ft.
I realise both face north south accept for the living hall facing west sun. The #17-33 is really a rare unit and only one in the whole of QUARTZ.
Can anyone advise if this unit is a good buy for the price with the west sun on the living hall?
Hi,
I bought a unit in the same stack. If price is not an issue to you..I think the 17F unit is a lovely unit. Love the balcony...the space. I think it is lovely to be sitting out there watching the stars. 17F would be very breezy.
As for the west sun..personally, I dont think it is an issue because it is not affecting the bed rooms. On the other hand, it all depends on your lifestyle.
Cheers
The afternoon sun will only be around 2-3pm..after that sun set will be blocked by the other stacks..
The selling point of TQ, I would think is the convenience of MRT and the 24hr coffee shop & NTUC.
To be frank, if I had $900K+, I will go and purchase a freehold somewhere in the East :) This is my personal preference.
But if you really like this place, just buy it..cos this is the home you will be staying in for long time..you must buy something you like most...

Hi
I was also looking at this unit until i realise it gets the west sun.
At 17th floor, I dont think other blocks will help to block out the west sun. It is simply too high. What is your concept regarding the rooftop terrace?
It will also get the west sun so you have to think carefully what is acceptable to you.
And I also think the 3rd bedroom will get the west sun.
From personal experience, if you get the west sun, it is really hot.
Since it is going to TOP soon, why not wait till it is completed then judge for yourself? Maybe wont be that bad, but you have to take the risk it might be bought by others.
just my 2 cents

I have to agree with Coburn, it will get the west sun as I drive pass this place to and fro work everyday. 17th and 18th will not escape the west sun. I was initially looking at stack 33 as I need the bigger space but have to give up due to the west sun. Hence have to settle for a sub-sales unit at stack 19 since it is the next bigger unit at 1367sqft.

Thank for the feedback from all those who responded to my earlier call for opinion. It appeared that to each his own and very subjective. There is always the conception that the higher floor is windy. It is also facing north south if you look at the orientation and yet west is also hitting at the same time. Hence the convergence of the wind from the north and the west meet at the center and thus create a neutrality of cool/warm. Just my theory.
I was banking on the roof top terrace as my main stay of my interest. I was told that it was marketed for $1.2 M in the good time. Not too sure if the agent was telling the truth.
I was also prepare to negotiate with them once I am ready to offer. I just want to hear more opinion. The part on the physical viewing whilst on TOP was necessary for me to put the nail beyond the coffin. Hopefully, no one secure the unit before I do that.
I was hoping that some friend here can also help me to see if I could secure a 1367sq ft with patio at the ground floor.
No one is selling this kind under sub-sales.
Please let me know if you come across. Was wondering what is cost of such unit if available?

12-04-09, 23:49
The roof top terrace of 237 sq ft is considered relatively big. As indicated that there is no unit in TQ having such a design.
If you spend some budget in designing the roof top terrace, it could be very appealing when u are sitting in the living hall looking out to the terrace.
On the flip side, if you are staying on the 18 and 19th floor from other stack, they can see something unqiue on #17-33. this is is more enticing in the nite if the terrace is lighted up. with the live trees dangling from 17th floor, the building up a woodeen roof if installed can made this terrace eye-starring from all other stack.
That is what my dream house is like.
Now is the time to wait for the TOP to allow me to view the unit before I put my $48K or 5% installment to seal the deal.
Just my thought...
Dear all,
Anyone here can update when we can collect the key from the developer? :)

If I am not wrong, on the 17th Floor..there is a link to the secret garden. This is an additional space that you can use when you have a party. But you need to confirm this with the developer. It is also unlikely for the other residents to come all the way up to utilize this space. So, I think, it is going to be a very private space for you.
I was one of the last few buyers of this stack...if my unit were not available..I would have taken this unit on the 17F.
At the same time, if you are concern whether for the same amount, you could get a better condo in other parts of Singapore, try using property guru. Typed in your budget and the floor space that you are looking for and you will see a list of condo that are available for your selection.
Happy searching....

Thanks for your feedback. It is a big investment for #17-33. Some have different opinion. I suppose at the end of the day,it is the buyer that need to see how it meet their need.
I did not know there is a secret garden link to the 17th Floor. That was why I was hoping that upon TOP it is still unsold and I can see the visual part of it.
This way there is a peace of mind.
Anyone can advise other unit with sizable pation on the ground floor or high floor for sales. I am more than please to examine if #17-33 is drop my my radar?

Hi Marshellwan
It seems you are pretty keen on 17-33.
Like you, I like the idea of having a rooftop terrace.
Do up a simple shelter and have table bbq eating my fav beef karubi
Set up a swing and enjoy tea, mooncakes under the stars.
That's why 17-33 is pretty attractive.
But the west sun is a deal-breaker.
Living room, bedroom 3 and roof terrace will be very hot and I might not get to enjoy the house the way i envisioned.
Well, hope the unit remains available for you. Maybe the high pricetag will deter buyers and you have a chance to buy when it TOPs.

I've been wanted to get a big unit at TQ but :2cents: not enough ... so you were the one that offered high enough to get the sub-sales unit at stack 19! :tongue3:... anyway Congrats!... I can only envy u
By the way, may I know is 3% stamp duty applies to both new condo and resale condo?

Charm, I am not the only one offering that. In fact, I was 5 hrs earlier as my agent showed me a cheque that has another "potential" buyer who also offers that price.
I dont even know whether is this a good decision or not until today as developer starts dropping prices the very next day after I have confirmed.

Ha..ha...actually, I think many of us shared the same feeling too. Should we have waited? will the price come further down? But should the day come, when the price really comes down, will you still be in the queue?
As for the Quartz, the good thing is..it is about to TOP soon (a few weeks time). You don't have to wait for another 3 to 4 years and I really like the idea of being close to the MRT and the KPE.
If you have missed the Quartz..do not worry too much. Casa Merah is approaching TOP soon and may be, you could potentially get a good deal from there too. Casa Merah is very near to the MRT too. Very serene.

Again, congrats to the new owner of The Quartz! :cool:

try this
http://www.iras.gov.sg/irasHome/page04.aspx?id=1904
stamp duty is applicable to buyer
hence sometimes you see schemes like developer absorbing stamp duty, i.e. developer pays stamp duty on your behalf, to attract buyers as it reduces the buyer's cost.

In fact, it is less then 3%.
Stamp duty calculation.
For example, bought a unit @S$700k.
1st 180k @1% = S$1.8k
2nd 180k @2% = S$3.6k
Rest @3% which is S$340k @3% = S$10,200.
Total stamp duty = 1.8 + 3.6 + 10,200 = S$15,600.
Faster way to calculate is:-
Apply 3% on S$700k, then minus S$5400.
S$5400 is the total of S$1.8k + S$3.6k

Yr stamp duty based on 540k will be:-
540k @3% minus 5.4k
Worked out to be 10.8k
U can either use CPF or cash to pay the stamp duty.
Sorry cant advise u on which period u need to pay the stamp duty.
Maybe u can check with yr lawyer.

unless regulations have changed, you have to pay on TOP typically. At that time, your lawyers will inform you and if you intend to pay for it using CPF, arrange for it to be drawn down from your CPF. otherwise, you have to pay cash. your loan doesn't cover stamp duty, neither will the bank loan extra for stamp duty

oh really??? I really am dumbfounded by your stupidity. Gosh, I'm starting to even wonder which hole were you given birth from. Must be from the drain near Caspian...
Oh by the way, enjoy the sound of the MRT train going past your Caspian at top speed everyday and at regular intervals. That's what you paid for anyway.

Final inspection is 28 Apr. Unless they move it early, but very unlikely. Else anythings before 28 Apr are not true. Include received letter for Key collection.
Most ID gives false info to pressurize us to sign on the dotted line with them using earlier TOP dates.
Isaac is right, 28 April is the D-day for Final Authority Inspection which may take 2 days for the entire project to be completed in their inspection.
Afterwhich, owners will be issued letters to start the key collection process. This may take 2 to 3 weeks given we have 625 units.
People can say all they want but that is not going to change the Authority coming in on 28 Apr.

Good news from both of you.
So D-Day minus 6 is finally the Inspection date.
There will be hive of activies going around the whole development. It also trigger other concurrent event simultaneously. All the ID will be up to their neck.
Good luck to those early bird with the keys.
LEt keep in touch again.

If the median price is at 700+, means some are transacted at 750-800psf, still reasonable for high floor/good facing 1 & 2bedroom, will be too ex for a 3bedroom.

Hi Marshellwan
It seems you are pretty keen on 17-33.
Like you, I like the idea of having a rooftop terrace.
Do up a simple shelter and have table bbq eating my fav beef karubi
Set up a swing and enjoy tea, mooncakes under the stars.
That's why 17-33 is pretty attractive.
But the west sun is a deal-breaker.
Living room, bedroom 3 and roof terrace will be very hot and I might not get to enjoy the house the way i envisioned.
Well, hope the unit remains available for you. Maybe the high pricetag will deter buyers and you have a chance to buy when it TOPs.
17-33 has been sold...
only left 18-33 for 930k
marshallwan
26-04-09, 21:06
HaHA....I must claim the credit for been the last 2nd person in quartz to close the deal which now left #18-33.
Have checked the west sun a few time and even climb into the unit to ensure that I am not shortchange.
can only say I can minimise the west sun. Hence decide to take it off.
Make hay when the sun shine!.

I know Marshall through this and I have also shared my concern on the West Sun, which is definitely the major deterence to prevent me from taking stack 33.

26-04-09, 21:16
I suppose those taking my unit would have already intend to "build and oven". Hence the phrase "Have sun will travel".
I already clear this doubt of mine and decide to make the decision wihout much regret.
TOR, was at the site this evening and took all the phot you all ever need.
Those are what I called the unplugged version not seen in this FORUM.

26-04-09, 21:29
COBURN,
If you realise, I registered myself as a owner 1 week before I got to sign the S&P.
How i got in was not a daunting task to me. I was there at about midnite and "bribe" the security guard. I just wanted to be sure what I paid is what I see. The view is spectacular. Not for those with height problem.
It is like having alfreco at the roof top terrace driinking my best expresso.
Enjoying the sunset and seeing the firework during National Day is going to be a life time experience.
I was incline to put up a make shift bed here to enjoy the cool breeze. Natural mountain air with no indulgene in Air con. Putiing some coconut tree will make me think I am in HAWAII.
Barbeque is another way of enjoying the moment of truth when all barbeque pits are fully booked. I suppose the difference between the normal barbeque pit downstair and at my unit is "BARBEQUE in the Air" subject to 18 an 19 floor not complaining.
so its you!! haha

COBURN,
When you stand at the main entrance going down the step towards the pool, you will be able to see STACK 33 directly infront of you.
You will not miss my unit at 17 FLOOR. I will probably put up a mini-jungle with lot of shade of trees to differentiate from other.
On the contrary, the amount of trees will made it stand up among all other unit subject to developer approval.

It was indeed breathtaking. The wind was howling when i was up there around midnite last week before I decide to take up the unit. I could envisage that I will be sleeping with the cool air and the utilization rate of my air-con will be low.
However, on the opposite, I cant tell what it is like in the afternoon. We believe we can minimise this portion. THe ID had given us great ideas.

Now I remember you were the one correponding with me on TQ. There is still another unit on the 18th FLOOR which is directly above me. You can ask for a discount over the original price. I am sure they will be ready to negotiate.
If you do sign on the dotted line, you will be able to smell my expresso coffe when I brew it at the roof terrace.

haha.. dont rub it in hor...
making me jealous... :tongue3:
i am unlikely to consider 18-33 as i want a roof terrace
i am now looking the the penthouse units in the other developments in D19..
but so far either layout not what i want or price is too high..
wish me luck!

27-04-09, 21:34
Thanks Coburn,
To each his own. I suppose most people would like to diffrentiate their unit from other. Having a roof top terrace does add breath and depth to the living hall. However, the cost of doing up is an added cost compare to other. I also cant imagine those with a big patio at ground floor. They even have to spend more.
District 19,,,have you tried kovan residence. Not too bad either. I saw the showflat.
I wish you luck your search and let the hunting begin.
May the force be with you.

It appeared that QUARTZ is the most view and read website in CONDO.COM.
It had top the chart for best top 2 billboards for many months.
Each time I opend up the website for NE zone, I see quartz leading the top all the time.
No other development had come close to this record.

Saw the ura master plan 2008 stating the big plot of empty land beside the MRT is reserved for residential. Was told by the cbre agent before buying, that part of it is reserved for commercial. I'm happy with my purchase but felt a bit played out by the agent for misrepresenting :mad:

By virtue of the spirit of the QUARTIZAN, one can imagine what it is like even before the Condo is fully occupied.
It is like another village where the community are closely knitted.
You just cant dampened the sipirt and I can imagine where the Condo is full blown by the end of the year, the CHristmas spirit is even more resounding.
What we need is a leader to drive the sipirt and maintain the close relationship with the QUARTZ.
I must first thank ISSAC for giving all of us a good head start in initiating the QUARTZ FORUM.
Judging form the amount of correpondence flying around, one can help the kampong spirit that had already surface before TOP.
I am sure I habe tons of ideas to make these QUARTIZAN happy with the life there.
The only way I can measure this over the next few years is no casaulty of people who leave QUARTZ for other condo..
By then the agent will hate me for keeping the turnover rate low in QUARTZ where no one is willing to sell their unit.
Hence, my wish list is to see more talent developed from within QUARTZ for those young parent and their kids.
May the force be with you.

Your unit is south facing, should be able to see fireworks. Think all units in high floor facing south will also be able too.
Well, all units in 17th floor in TQ have private roof terrace & all are almost the same size, regardless whether 3 brm or 3+1brm, your unit definitely has better view with no afternoon sun. Cheers!!!! ;)

My lawyer email me to pay stamp duty only :p But I'm still happy..hehe
Hi Cot, I think have to wait for a few more days as my lawyer is arranging payment for the 6 months adv maintenance fees(how much i also dont know), surveyor fees,propety tax etc. Once that is done the developer should release the keys. My guess is most of us should get our keys within first two weeks of may. :o

Dun mention.If you try keying in your pin the reply u get is something like 'look for your solicitor'. Hence most of us here is having the same situation like urs, waiting for the developer to send another letter to our lawyers. So u can rest assure now :D

I have a few quotes (all from ID) on chengai wood.
range from $200psf to $430psf.
But bcos our planter area is not really big, so they cant give a competitive rate.
I have planter 6.5mLx1.0mW at living and 2mLx1mW in masterbed rm.
Curious what is the size of your terrace? and the size of your build in?
MW,
Your roof terrace is still the biggest in TQ at 23sqm, Stack 18 & 19 are 22sqm, the rest of 3brm is 15-18sqm ;)

To be honest, I am not too sure if mine is the largest at 23 sq m oir 237 sq ft. when I sneak in and see the roof terrace it is more of a sqaure and the 90 degree barriace are all glass.
It look scary when u stand at the edge.
I realise almost all the 17 floor have roof terrace. their is rectangle in shape and slightly smaller but are joint side by side with a concrete seperating them.

My apology, I am on BLK 67 which is same as you. There was a typo error earlier which I keyed in Blk 69.
So which floor are you and the stack you belong to?

I called up Winterhall Pte Ltd. They will send another letter to notify our solicitor. With that letter, the solicitor will proceed with the necessary actions, that is to notify the bank. I also confirmed this with our solicitor and he informed that he is waiting for the letter.

Hi all,
I tried to registered at above website but cannot log in.
I am interested to know the quote for planter areas..
Anyone can help?:doh:
Sometimes the site is a bit slow. Why not you try again? But do remember to update your unit in your profile and send a mail to isaac b4 you can access the provate folders. There, you'll see the quotes for the planters.

Orientation for this unit is not good. Facing direct west sun.
Hence selling below valuation.
All the stack 17 from ground floor to high floor face west sun until 6:45Pm
Hence if yøu dont mind, yøu can consider.

Spot on MW, i second that. But 500psf really very low. For those who like basking under the sun its a good buy:)
PS what happen to our forum. seems like its down?

I don't think stack 17 is a 3+1?????
Only stack 18,19 and 33 only.
Must be a mistake ?
