View Full Version : Woodsville 28 (D13, 99 years leasehold, Frasers Centrepoint)
Yup.
A redundant bus stop.
They should remove the bus stop and the birds near the mrt. Very irridating:doh:

think its mentioned in the news.. flyover operational soon.
think its mentioned in the news.. flyover operational soon.Yes very exciting news for residents staying there. :spliff:
I just realised that W28 is right in front of the slope up from the tunnel.
Many cars sure accelerate harder when going up the slope. Gonna be very noisy.
I was standing at the bus stop and already somany idiots accelerate so hard.
Every time the traffic turn green, those motorist will rev like crazy.
Do the W28 windows have double panel to block out the road noise?
Breathtaking view looking at W28. which has unblocked view all the way to Mt Vernon. Not sure if Nin Residences will block it.

If u wan unblock views n quiet unit, why dun u consider nin residence, units facing landed ( but there is a mosque)? Or wait for the PP mrt plot opp nin residence? Tender closing soon.
Didn't know that the plot behind PP MRT is open for tender. W28 asking for $1200 PSF.
Please have a 5 year min occupation imposed to curb these speculators.

OMG! W28 swimming pool water has turned brown. I didn't know that the surrounding construcion of the Woodsville interchange is so power! Let alone the construction of LBC next door soon. I understand from LBC jaga that residents will move out by January and PT Sertia has started placing hoardings round LBC parameters. Shit! I really like W28 for its unblocked view and it's ready to move in but dunno whether I can put up with the noise and dust for the next 3 years.
Asking only lah.. not transacted yet. Buyers will bargain de! :o Now with the volatile market, unlikely to be transacted at that psf!
I am one who's willing to pay for a LH esp if I like that project. $1300 PSF looks expensive now but should be considered cheap in time to come, say 10 years later.
Back then in 2008, W28 was going for $900 psf and people say its expensive. How to find this price now? Everyone wants ai pee ai chee. Woodlands area loh.

More likely than unlikely.
According to Mr Kwek => Over the next six months, he said, developers may adjust downwards launch prices of private housing projects that are not located near MRT stations by about 5% if they wish to move units, amid greater buyer caution.
However, developers of projects that are well located, close to MRT stations, should be able to hold prices or even marginally increase them by 1 – 3 %, he said.

Did anyone go down this wkend to see if the steel roofs structures for drive in are ready? If completed, then we can look forward to TOP in end aug/sep.
Side of swimming pool wall not ready. I spoke to the workers and was told that cement casting not done properly. Hence, they are drilling it and trying to touch up. Has been a week but the 3 holes still there. It's facing LBC. TOP most likely after Sept and keys collection should be in Oct as Bank needs 14 days to clear one's loan before keys can be issued.
Anyone knows of any deaths in W28 so far during construction? I hope the resocrd is 100% clear. I am very pantang about worksite fatality.

The 3+1 units have a corridor drainage hole right at the doorstep. This is the first time I have encountered such a design. If the drainage hole clogs up, a puddle will form right in front of the door! What building design is this?

Security guard let me in for a preview of the common areas.
I don't know about the other owners but I am kind of disappointed by this project. Expected much more from a reputable developer like Frasers Centrepoint. Things that didn't go too well with me are:
1. Cheesy plastic pink Woodsville 28 signboard.
2. Shabby and clumsily constructed driveway shelter.
3. Stop-gap addition of a make-do shelter between gym and Block 28.
4. Leaves-shedding plants on the sides of the jacuzzi - causing clogging by leaves.
5. Atrocious facade colour scheme (just can't understand the obsession with the yellowish cream accents).
6. Drainhole right at unit's doorstep.
7. An isolated children's playground that is only accessible through the function room (what if the function room is booked?)
Poorly thought through design. Unwarranted unilateral deviation from original design e.g. jarring colour scheme. Public works or HDB does much better.

No harm done. I'm a unit owner, and his prospective employer. And I was escorted throughout. He was not sleeping on the job. Property had TOPed.
:scared-3: Hope you will like your unit. The location is fantastic.
Just got my keys and checked out W28. Compared to the properties that I have owned before, I am totally impressed by the finishings provided by Frasers Centrepoint. My defect list was done under 20 mins and consisted mostly of paint stains and minor scratches. Only issue of concern was the corrosion along the balcony rails.

You probably have to construct some clothes hangers from the ceiling to air-dry your clothes, or else invest in a dryer to tumble dry your clothes after washing.
If you can hear voices from the lift lobby, it could mean the door is rather thin, or the sound travelled in through your living room balcony. As the living room is still empty, the sound probably echoed as well. When you have fitted in your furnishings and curtains, these would absorb the sound, and it should a lot quieter.
I am only collecting my keys next Tuesday, so I will probably find out then.
Are you planning to stay or are you renting out the unit?

Its quite normal to hf the ck ck sound from parquet flooring as its new....after a while it will b gone:D
Doors got small hole?:confused:
Meaning ur windows not double glazed lor....woodsville cfm vy noisy
Your glass doors have holes? Why don't you take a photo? It could be the edge for the stopper on both sides. The parquet flooring with "clicking" sound is uncommon. It means that the contractor laid it without securing it. That's why it is loose. Try peeling one out. Can play jigsaw puzzle. :scared-1:
After we set out most of the furniture in the room, there isn't much space to walk over actually, so the flooring might actually become a non-issue. I wonder if the road noise is just particularly bad for the living room because of the gaps around the sliding doors. What about the bedrooms - which should have windows which are more securely sealed? Is the noise just as bad?
Which floor is your unit? I am definitely going to put lots of tall plants to shield off both dust and noise from the road.
I have other issues with the building facade and less-than-perfect design features, which I suppose would have to be addressed by the interim Management Council formed to take up issues concerning common areas with the developer.
Woodsville 28 looks more like two oversized blocks of walk-up apartments rather than a condominium with its own character and charm. Just look further down at 8@Woodleigh to realise the big difference. 8@Woodleigh looks a lot sharper and smarter.
For example, the entrance to W28 is really quite depressing - you enter the condomium to pass under chunky frames of brown steel right into a cavernous gaping basement carpark. What does such a structure serve? It is not a gazebo that hold hanging plants, neither does it provide shelter from rain - so it is functionally and aesthetically deficient.
I might have been more forgiving if they had designed planter boxes to hold hanging flowering plants like bougainvillas over the carpark entrance, but there is such an appalling lack of imagination. The mediocrity and half-heartedness makes me both mad and sad that I have to be moving into something which someone has carelessly designed.

Don't start reno yet before these things are rectified. Be the first to complain otherwise you'll be down the waiting list... :o
Should check all floor finishes (tiles and timber flooring) to ensure they are properly fixed to floor. Just use a rod and slide over them and you will hear those hollow sound on the floor tiles with insufficient mortar. Alternatively, some unit coins but more texting. Applies to wall tiles too. :)

The agent will be very happy to identify defects in the unit quite quickly with sticky tape if you are renting out your place. They know the likely problem areas.

i have 1 uncle and 1 friends, my uncle own condo at "The arte" and my friends is at "one shenton way" both condo are very sound proof and i love it ;)
telling the truth i myself abit disappointed with this project, i felt like the designer is really not a pro! wasting alot of space and the quality is not there everything just average!
the kitchen(3bedroom) will be very dark even at the afternoon and the space is very small. if you put 1 freight and the door is opening then other ppl cant go over the kitchen already.
the best from this project is the LOCATION only! which are beside MRT and Bus stops! others just secondary!

LOL - thanks for the offer. But I really needed the space, and apartments in 8@Woodleigh are much smaller. Hopefully, most of the W28 owners are stayers, and would be interested to get together to create a much better home and living environment for ourselves. W28 is at a great location and it is a wasted opportunity that the developer didn't try to do better.
Maybe the Malaysian developer of Leong Bee Court will do better?

Hi Tony67, i also think the size for 8@W is smaller, which i don't like as space to me is top priority. But in term of the landscape, 8@W is slight better than W28.
I will move in next year once renovation work is done. which is the layout for your unit.
Cheers.

you people is very funny! either W28 or 8@W, both are great.....
as for the noise, some minor touch up (renovation) will do the trick....
if is not ideal, then sell now as price is still high, demand for this project is also hot....

You have competition if u are buying. Seems like offers are hitting close to $1300 psf for w28. But not that many sellers.
Agree that both are great and for those who bought, congrats and count your blessing cos both project designs are e better ones for that price that you pay.
Try checking out the new condos in ponggol, sengkang which you have to pay $850 psf to $1,100 psf. Small size and cramped layout. Who needs a big balcony for an 800psf unit anyway?
Hi Tony67, i also think the size for 8@W is smaller, which i don't like as space to me is top priority. But in term of the landscape, 8@W is slight better than W28.
I will move in next year once renovation work is done. which is the layout for your unit.
Cheers.
Mine is the 3+1.
I'm not W28 owner. Now that owners here are getting their keys, may I ask a unique case. If S&P states that I should get a longbath in my master toilet, what does it mean? Is it a bathtub or are there other interpretations? My master toilet, after studying the floorplan, does not seem to be able to fit a bathtub. So what if my master toilet eventually does not come with a bathtub, what action can I take? :confused:

hee...hee... i know, i can't afford this area anymore. In view the opp area will be the new town, in the next couple of years, the more that i can't afford, just regret when it was around $1000psf, i should grab. Don't know will the price of this area drop if there's a recession next year?
With the new town coming up, there will be more facilities, this area really a gem. The new condos in punggol and sengkang, i viewed them before, agree that the size of the unit really small.
Anyway CONGRATS to owners of W28. Cheers :cheers6:

The S&P is probably the best document to hold the developer accountable since it is legally enforceable. If the floorplan doesn't show a long-bath, I think you should raise this to your lawyer immediately.
Guess raising to my lawyer is the best option. I asked the developer once and their representative was quick to dismiss my concern by saying if its in the S&P, then it will be given! Guess I'll just have to wait till TOP to confirm before asking my lawyer. Anyway I suspect the length of the bathroom cannot have a longbath so what sort of rectification from the developer can I hope for? :rolleyes:

If I were you, I would raise this to your lawyer right now - and show him the floor plan. If the floor plan is not accurate, it is misrepresentation. If it is accurate, then you won't have a long-bath. Either way, there is a dispute brewing.
Well then I'll ask my lawyer what can be done under such a circumstance. :beats-me-man:

Wonder what happen if developer custom made a shortened long bath..., will they get away with it since S&P never state dimension of long bath...Something to also ask your lawyer..., would be interesting to know
Now I have to play detective and try to get written understanding that I've actually sought clarification with the developer's representative that my unit will come with a long bath despite the fact that the layout shows the dimensions do not allow. Lawyer says should an infringement of the S&P by developer occurs, I can receive monetary compensation of thedifference in cost for a bathtub installation and a standing shower installation. It may just be a small amount but its the principle that counts! :hell-hath-no-fury:
Wonder what happen if developer custom made a shortened long bath..., will they get away with it since S&P never state dimension of long bath...Something to also ask your lawyer..., would be interesting to knowUnlikely, coz the length available is only 1.6m and with the edges shaved off, its probably only a 1.3m to 1.4m long tub. Not suitable for any normal adult of height 1.7m to use comfortably. If they give a super short tub of 1.4m, I'll also be quite upset but have to accept it liaoz! :scared-4: Anyway, I incidentally got the main contractor's floor layout of my unit and it shows a shower screen with door so its surely not a bathtub. Well, unless the contractor don't follow the plan he's received, otherwise... :beats-me-man:

There is always that little clause at every floor plan catalogues that protects the developer for any inaccuracies. Can't pursue the case that way. This is to faciliate the actual on ground situation and for safety considerations at times... :eek: That is also the reason why most catalogues do not come with dimensions spelled out clearly...

Hmm, I am also beginning to understand why Woodsville 28 is turning out this way.
Well, at least the landscaping looks fairly decent - especially the flowering climbers along the perimeters.
This is something which I thought has turned out well (to whoever's credit) - the other imperfections will have to be tweaked along the way.
For example, we could plant a couple of really spectacularly nice flowering trees (e.g. frangipani) to flank the main carpark entrance, and also generally improve the landscaping that greets incoming cars.

remembered that the launch price is around $950 and the low when they reduced the price is ard $780.

$780 psf would have been a steal but that probably occurred during the recession time when most would be too fearful to enter (aka miss the boat). Congrats to all who's collecting the keys and starting to do reno works and moving in on time for CNY. :o

According to e main con. It is for drainage purposes. Congrats.
After we set out most of the furniture in the room, there isn't much space to walk over actually, so the flooring might actually become a non-issue. I wonder if the road noise is just particularly bad for the living room because of the gaps around the sliding doors. What about the bedrooms - which should have windows which are more securely sealed? Is the noise just as bad?
Which floor is your unit? I am definitely going to put lots of tall plants to shield off both dust and noise from the road.
I have other issues with the building facade and less-than-perfect design features, which I suppose would have to be addressed by the interim Management Council formed to take up issues concerning common areas with the developer.
Woodsville 28 looks more like two oversized blocks of walk-up apartments rather than a condominium with its own character and charm. Just look further down at 8@Woodleigh to realise the big difference. 8@Woodleigh looks a lot sharper and smarter.
A lot of false expectation from woodsville28 project. In the first place, W28 is an apartment status NEVER a CONDOMINIUM with full facilities like One Leicester and 8@Woodsleigh b'cos of its smaller the plot size of the development. :doh:
Seen in the classified ST looking for tenants at 4.xx for 3 bedders. Anyone here close rental deal?

Do u own a unit there?
If u do, u shd feel lucky, in term of small, i would say yes only on the landscape and facilities. But again how many times do people use the facilities? maybe swimming is frequent but the rest i doubt so.
At least the unit is not small (about close to 1200 sqft) if u compare to the latest launches, a livable 3 bdrm is merely 1130 sqft or even smaller.
Think we have to be real. :2cents:
I have a few friends (foreigner), according to them, with full facilities mean big area, also mean more units, so not so conducive.

Yes, that is generally true. Few scratches or cracked tiles, and workmanship and finishing is very good. However, to pick bones in an egg, the mechanical parts may be less perfect e.g. doors or windows that do not close tightly or requires an extra push to lock in. One or two sliding wardrobe doors doesn't roll smoothly but those are not fatal defects.
Encounters with both developer and contractor reps have been very pleasant. Customer service reps were very professional and efficient. So is the defects rectification team - very helpful and receptive, and very willing to facilitate renovation plans with contacts of suppliers or contractors. Very impressed with their customer relations and customer service attitude.

Not much defects per se on my end, aside of usual scratches here and there for timber flooring. Nothing fatal, major or earth-shattering. Workmanship is very good, I must say.

Along with other 99 yr LH projects like Nin Residence, this will indeed be hot... along with 8@Woodleigh! :cheers5:
Many will buy FH/999LH to park their cash which is fast eroded by devaluation of SGD and low interest rate. I expect both trends to stay for the next 2-3 years while waiting for US and EU to recover. Good to grab these properties now, as their TOP in 2016 should coincide with global economy recovery.

New Woodsville Tunnel to open on Jan 28 (http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1177749/1/.html)

SINGAPORE: The new Woodsville Tunnel will open to traffic at 9.00am on Saturday, January 28.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said it has completed the construction of Woodsville Tunnel (WVT), which comprises three new road tunnels.
They link Upper Serangoon Road to Bendemeer Road, Serangoon Road to Upper Serangoon Road, and MacPherson Road to Bendemeer Road.
LTA said the opening of the tunnel will improve overall traffic flow at the heavily-utilised interchange.
Motorists can now use it as a direct link, bypassing the signalised junction at the surface.
LTA said as a significant amount of traffic will use the new road tunnels, motorists using the signalised junction to travel to the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) will also benefit from the improved traffic flow.
The improved traffic flow will also save travelling time for motorists, particularly during peak hours.
For example, a motorist travelling from Upper Serangoon Road to Bendemeer Road will have his travel time cut from 10 minutes currently to four minutes.
The new Woodsville Tunnel is part of the upgrading project for the Woodsville Interchange.
Works for the S$130 million upgrading project started in 2008.
Besides construction of the three tunnels, the project includes a 400-metre flyover from Jalan Toa Payoh to Jalan Kolam Ayer leading to Kallang Way and the PIE (Changi), which was opened in July last year.

strange... still yet to see any firesales here (W28) and 8@W.
Last week, when to see a unit (3 bdrm) at Woodsville 28, hmm... the living and dining area is not small, quite big if compare to those new projects.
All bought so cheap how to firesale... their purchase price was around 750-850psf. Now ulu condo already selling over 850psf.

Is a strange thing u ask about firesales now...
Is the interest rate above 3% (still low interest rate environment) ?
Is there long-term retrenchment ?
Is Spore economy suffering deep recession (Quick check on Sat Recruits still more than 10pages) ?
Since none have yet happen, naysayers will keep posting in red to increase the Qi to cause durian to drop... :p
Scenario will be different if Euro go burst, China have a great heavy cracking fall or US go to war AGAIN....:eek:

My friends and I have serious doubt if the tunnel especially from Bendemeer to Upper Serangoon stretch will NOT do its job, as stretch is short and more importantly, once u come out of tunnel ( Condo is of the left ) onto the Upper Serangoon road, about 150-200m is Potong Pasir MRT station and there is a Traffic light at the Cross Junction. We believe that this may become a bottle neck during evening peak hour. May end up having a jam or very slow moving traffic in the tunnel for this stretch. Let's wait and see...
