Should be for both 2 & 8 as 2nd disbursement is for Structural Wall Completion to your unit. So unless your unit is High floor. :scared-5:

800-850psf for high flr....from there u work out the rest
Just a question, for selling property, the costs are:
1) Agent Fee 2%
2) Lawyer Fee $2500
3) Loan cancellation Fee 0.75% of the loan.
Thats all right? :o
Similar unit that was launched on 1st day, so its priced is about 3% higher, as devilplate has pointed out below.

Hi All,
I'm a newbie to this forum. Looking at a studio unit through sub sale and came across this. I'm actually staying at Blossoms right across the construction site so have a pretty good view of the progress. Just want to say hi and looking forward to contributing to this thread!
Maybe you can snap some pics of 8@W from blossoms. :)

Took a photo of block 6 this morning. They just completed the ceiling for 1st floor units in stacks 11&12. Good to see some progress every night when I get home!
Thanks for the update! The studio unit is really like a hotel room size. :scared-3: Can see the stack 10 boundaries.
yeah it's tiny:scared-3: Seems a lot smaller than the floor plan..will update photos as we go

Spouse and me have recieved phone calls from agents from H****** . They claim that they have buyers looking for a unit. When we ask how much they are offering, the quote they give was :rolleyes: $950 psf or so...
I told them to check out the new development launching nearby. If they can't make a good offer, dun bother to call....:tongue3:
Yup, read that Nin Residences selling at $1.2K psf for a 2BR! :D

you guys are really lucky to buy early.......
It's true... a 2 bedroom around 890 sq ft cost around $1.1m and a 3 bedroom around 1200 sqft cost around $1.4m. AND this is after the discount, but can't remember the discount. This discount is only applicable for prevew.

Hmmmm.... but upon reflecting, maybe it's a case of developer setting unrealistic prices... do you know what's their take up rate so far? Not launched officially yet right?

Why don't you try for a unit at 8@Woodleigh then? Larger development with more facilities than Woodsville 28 or NIN....
Can probably get a nice pool facing unit at 1000psf thereabouts. Furthermore, since the 3-bedders are smaller in size and without the CD shelter, it'll be less than 1.1M :)

You just have to look hard enough...:)
There were at least 2 units (#04/05) pool facing available around that price. (Caveat: that was last week. Not sure whether still around or increase price)
If you are interested in a low floor woodleigh park facing unit, the compact 3-bedder layout, there is also one available :) Must do homework if you want a reasonably priced unit in this market.

will not get NIN, too ex.
Besides next to mrt, in term of unit layout, woodsville 28 is really much better than 8@woodleigh. You rightly point out, the room size is really small for 8@woodleigh and without CD shelter. Franky speaking, I cannot stand a 3 bedroom size is smaller than a hdb 5 room flat (1184 sqft). If the unit is so small size (reduce size to make it more affordable), it will not be comfortable to stay at home.

I agree with you on the size bit. Unfortunately, the size of apartments (public and private) are going to be smaller in time to come.:doh:

I personally think that the size of the pool facing units (1098 and 1076 sqft types) are ok actually. The common rooms actually fit a queen bed without compromising movement in the room, though you can't really add anything else in after that, unless it's on the bay window.
For the MRT, once Woodleigh station is opened up (which will be before TOP of 8@W), the difference in distance is minimal.
Of cos, I am looking at it from an investment point of view, while you are probably thinking of own stay. The American school is a clincher for me in this aspect. Rental support haha..
If want freehold, big size and next to MRT, then try Avon Park at Youngberg Terrace, 3 bedroom unit 1700sqft. :)

with the new cooling measures, what happens if one took up an option to purchase before the 14th Jan but not completed sale yet? Will the new SSD apply when selling later?

Actually the top floor are not penthouses, and the layout are typical for the entire stack except for the PES, likewise for the ground floor units. :D

Sleek,
I have 2 questions which I thought you may have the answer to.
I found out from a couple of showrooms (including Nin Residences) that developers can plan units without bay windows. If so, how come so many developments have them? Is there a purpose for bay windows?
And also, I thought bomb shelters are optional as well. I still see bomb shelters with thick doors being included in new launches. Any idea why?

Do you think you can share the thread with the discussion to my questions? I'll read up on it.:D
Thank you.
Devilplate's right but sometimes also didn't really read into it. ;)
IIRC for Bay Windows, it was original allowed to extend your windows beyond its setback and thus not counted as GFA. However, when Developers started charging for the space, URA rescind their rules to make it part of GFA. Hence, newer developments tends to do away with it, but I find that it do adds some features to an otherwise "flat" wall with windows.
As for Bomb Shelters, understand its optional, but keen to find out why too. :D

Devilplate right again, but according to the Prior Title Deed docs, your total floor area of 100sqm includes 4sqm of A/C ledge & 4sqm of Planter.
As for Bay Windows, the floor areas should be the length of the windows in meters x 0.5m for its depth.

If I have a choice, I like to keep the room versatile without too much ID. Cos lifestyle do change and the needs may differ at different stages.
But if really no choice, then have to maximize the space using ID lor :beats-me-man:
By the way, can anyone of you remember if the wardrobe in all rooms are from floor to ceiling? I vague remember it to be.... Reason for asking is because I saw a showroom with wardrobe that is not built to ceiling. Instead, there is a white plastered area above.... Not nice at all!!!:doh: :doh:

Well, the one next to Flamingo Valley is reflected in a very old Singapore map (http://www.ura.gov.sg/dc/mp58/mp58map_index.htm). I have to confess I love looking at maps and learning about Singapore's history. It is in map 193 (http://www.ura.gov.sg/dc/mp58/dcdmp58tm193.htm). The area is marked in yellow.

Woodleigh station may open by June
Plans to open MRT station started last year
By Christopher Tan
THE North East MRT Line's Woodleigh station in Potong Pasir - completed but shuttered since the line started running eight years ago - is expected to open by the middle of this year.
The Straits Times understands plans to open the mothballed station, which is just outside the exhumed Bidadari cemeteries as well as a cluster of condos, had started in the second half of last year.
Workers were seen sprucing up the stop, which is between Potong Pasir and Serangoon stations.
But SBS Transit, operator of the North East Line (NEL), would not confirm the news. Spokesman Tammy Tan merely said: 'We will make an announcement when a decision is made with regard to its opening.'
Industry watchers reckon Woodleigh would actually contribute to SBS Transit's revenue. This is because of a growing pool of commuters in the area.
New condo projects which have sprouted near the station in recent years include 8@Woodleigh, Parc Mondrian and Blossoms@Woodleigh. In total, they feature 670 units. The 179-unit Avon Park condo is also nearby.
Down the road, the Stamford American International School is being built. It is expected to have more than 3,000 pupils when it opens some time next year.
Mr John Rachmat, a transport analyst with Royal Bank of Scotland Asia Securities, said: 'As far as investors are concerned... the sooner Woodleigh station can start operating, the better.'
SBS Transit has also been enjoying fast-growing ridership on the NEL. Last year, ridership grew by 16.4 per cent to 138.2 million from 2009.
Last month, average daily ridership to the Serangoon station almost doubled to 36,783 - thanks largely to the opening of the nex megamall in November.
Residents living near the station cannot wait for it to open.
Financial consultant Fang Mei Ling, 50, is one of them. The Avon Park resident, who relies on public transport, said the area used to be well-served by buses.
'But since the North East Line opened, many were rationalised. Now I have to take a bus to Potong Pasir station, and then hop on a train to where I want to go,' she noted.
Another Avon Park resident, IT manager Ang Chwee Leng, 48, said: 'After seeing all the improvements in the rail network, it's frustrating to see one station that's ready for so many years and not opened.'
The PAP grassroots adviser to Potong Pasir Sitoh Yih Pin said that in his visits to Avon Park, residents have brought up the opening of the station time and again.
'If the news is true, then it is great news for Potong Pasir residents, especially those at Avon Park who live directly across the road from the station,' he said.
IT engineer Simon Su, 39, who lives in Joo Seng Road nearby, said he usually takes a feeder bus to Aljunied station. 'But if the weather is fine and I'm not in a hurry, walking to Woodleigh Station is one option,' he said.
Property developers were also excited by the prospect of the station opening.
Frasers Centrepoint chief executive Lim Ee Seng said although the company's 8@Woodleigh project has sold out completely, he will be on a lookout for new plots near Woodleigh now.
'Anything that's near MRT stations will be desired by developers, especially in a market where buyers have so many choices,' Mr Lim said.
Hong Leong Group spokesman Gerry de Silva concurs.
'Going forward, as the rail network grows and as more people switch to public transport,the interest in properties near train stations will grow.'
Woodleigh station was among three stations that were not meant to be built when the NEL was announced in the mid-1990s. The other two were Potong Pasir and Punggol.
But as construction progressed, the Government decided to open the other two, saying population around them had grown sufficiently.
However, when the line opened in 2003, there was a shock announcement that Buangkok station would stay shut. After strong lobbying led by MP Charles Chong, Buangkok opened in early 2006, just before the last general election.

Hi there too! :)
But no, that's not mine... caveat really wouldn't be lodged so soon. OTP exercised only in late Jan 2011 ;)
Owners and supporter of 8@woodleigh, would like your views on tis project VS the condo beside- Blossoms which is by Allgreen, FH, price almost same or about $100psf higher only. I was at friend's place over weekend, unit on #09' facing the upcoming American school, but slightly further from the Woodleigh MRT station. Quite windy, unblocked view, nearest condo in sight from my friend's house is the Avon Park condo.
Wondering if want to invest, whether to buy the completed,FH Blossoms or the upcoming 8@woodleigh which is slightly nearer to the MRT. Thanks in advance for your views.
Guess it depends on the 2 points that you raised :-
1. Is FH more important than LH99 and worth the $100psf premium for a resale over BUC?
2. Is 100m more walking distance to MRT acceptable? As some will even consider 200m walking distance as far.
From the postings on the thread so far, some of the reasons are :-
1. The location feels right and within a cluster of private developments
2. Near HDB amenities
2. Prefer New to resale
3. Closeness to MRT Stations
4. Well thought layouts
5. Reputation of developer
6. Any other points from fellow 8@W owners?

For me, invest mean chance of capital appreciation and decent rental yield. Of course, new condo 8@Woodleigh, nearer to MRT may be easier to rent out to expat, but would be make a really bigger difference since Blossom is 3-4 yrs older by the time 8@woodleigh TOP and 100-200m further to MRT? Then agains, if want to rent out to expat, would MRT matter since perhaps majority of expat may have a car.
Owners and supporters of 8@woodleigh, did u take Blossoms into consideration b4 u commit?
according to herd instinct, ppl will choose Blossom coz it FH:cheers6:
Actually, I'd noticed a lots of foreigners walking to the private developments there from the MRT Stn and most cars are driven by locals coming in/out, whenever I ran there in the evening. ;)

i wonder wats ur real intention...
Btw, does anyone know if there will be a footpath separating the boundary walls of ( Blossoms and 8@woodleigh) and upcoming American school. From the view I saw from my friend's Blossom condo, it appear that there is a small narrow strip of land separating the condos and the school. If yes, this could be useful, then can exit via side gate and walk nearer to MRT esp for Blossoms.
i wonder wats ur real intention...
? No underlying intention, just that more pool of expats to rent out to once American school is up. And how would expat from American school affect condos in this area. Would these americans expat have a preference for any condo over others.
Ok, most of the foreigners seen so far looks like Professional Caucasians by the way they are dressed for work, and sometimes out to play.

Unlikely for a footpath to be there as its quite a steep slope separating Blossoms/8@W and the school.

A good buddy of mine have asked his agent to scout for a 2 bedder at 8@woodleigh for investment, and he also encourage me to follow and pick up a subsale unit there as well. However, becos I know of a friend staying at Blossoms since TOP, and last weekend visited him, decide to weigh the pros and cons before and if to invest myself.

A good buddy of mine have asked his agent to scout for a 2 bedder at 8@woodleigh for investment, and he also encourage me to follow and pick up a subsale unit there as well. However, becos I know of a friend staying at Blossoms since TOP, and last weekend visited him, decide to weigh the pros and cons before and if to invest myself.
both project ok...the problem is to find a reasonably priced unit now...b4 cooling measures, i am shocked to see units r asking for ridiculous price...lol
u may wana look at one leicester/platinum edge/intero as well..
best will be high flr stamford sch facing units....followed by low-mid pool facing
check some websites, got some info and images of new SAIS campus @woodleigh, useful for owners & supporters to know:
1. Images of New campus from SAIS website:

2. This info from the main contractor, Bovis Land Lease, website:
http://www.bovislendlease.com/llweb/bll/main.nsf/all/news_20100430
"30 April 2010
Bovis Lend Lease awarded Stamford American International School Permanent Campus worth over S$100m
Bovis Lend Lease, the project management and construction arm of Australian property company, Lend Lease, has cemented its position as an industry leader in the education sector with the latest win of a more than S$100 million contract to design and construct the first phase of the Stamford American International School’s (SAIS) Permanent Campus in Singapore. Developed by Cognita - an international education group that runs more than 50 schools worldwide, the Permanent Campus of Stamford American International School will offer world class learning facilities with the latest in classroom technology and IT infrastructure and is expected to open in August 2012."
by looking at the progress, think another 15-18 months to TOP...

I personally did consider Blossoms (and Parc Mondrian naturally), but in the end went for 8@W due to the following reasons:
1. It is nearer to Woodleigh MRT. The difference is around 100-150m (comparing with 8@W's side gate), but this distance is uphill. I have personally tried the walk before, and while it is ok for a one-time walk, I personally do not want to walk it every single time. I dunno if most potential tenants will mind, but I am sure there are those that will. The partially covered walk from 8@W's proposed side-gate to the station is pleasant and really short (about 3 mins).
2. As mentioned by someone earlier, the sizes of units in 8@W are smaller for the same number of bedrooms. As such, the overall quantum for units in 8@W are definitely significantly lower. Luckily the layouts are well-designed, and relatively efficient. Only point is that the 958sqft 3-bedder is actually more of a 2+1 type, a little too compact for me. In fact, the 2+1 is actually 947 sqft. Basically, between the 2 types, you choose whether you want a normal-sized 2nd bedroom and a smaller study, or 2 small bedrooms. But overall, I am pretty sure that rental in 8@W is definitely higher on a per square foot basis than blossoms.
3. Being newer, and in my opinion with slightly better designed facilities, 8@W would probably be the first choice of potential tenants looking for a unit in this location. Since I am buying primarily for investment, this ease of renting out is quite important to me. (This is just my opinion, owners of Blossoms units, please do not take offence)
4. Finally, and also the clincher for me, the dual key layout available in 8@W. I am intrigued by the possibility of renting out a dual key unit as a 2-bedroom and studio separately. If successfully done, rental yields would be quite high (>5%). Of cos, you have to ask for lower rents respectively than the true 1 & 2 bedders in 8@W, but even after that, the projected yield seems good enough to be worth a shot. :) And I don't rule out staying in the unit with my aging parents in the future. It's a good option to have for me personally :)
I have always preferred freehold condos, but given all the points above, it was an easy decision for me to choose 8@W in the end.
Having said all that, I think that both 8@W and Blossoms (as well as Parc Mondrian) are good buys, IF you can find reasonably priced units..
Sorry for the long post :) Guess it is obvious now that I bought a dual key unit there haha ;)

Some people avoided buying this development because it is directly opposite the old Bidadari Cemetry which is not existing already. Is there a good reason to be concern?
1. In general, typically most sites will certainly have units that are very good to average to inauspicious. As no unit or stack can share the same stack-site even within a development.
2. Frankly, in fact especially Chinese cemetry sites (were) suppose to be excellent sites. As Chinese have a wish that future generations will prospher. Thus, all Chinese cemetry sites are very auspicious.
3. The Bidaari Cemetry site:
The word Bidadari originated from the Sansckrit word: widyadari which roughly translates to heavenly "attainment". In fact, this site, was originally an Istana of one Sultan of Johore's wife home.
In 1904, the colonial government purchased around 45 acres of this land and turned it into a cemetry. Which we know was meant for burial of Hindus, Muslims and large population of different denominations of Christians.
4. One can draw a parallel to Orchard Road. Once upon a-time, the land where the MRT station sits was burial ground. And in the past, people thought that it was inauspicious to build the hotel (Tangs-Marriot) facing it.
5. In fact, many apartments are now built on burial sites or facing it: Bishan park; Yishan (Teochew cemetry); Old Bedok Road (where my grandfather was buried) is now Tampines ...
6. Memory fades... Singaporeans have "short" memory. Once the Bidadari is renewed again; no one would be wiser...
7. See attachment. Please note that the block 6: worst stack is 10. An entrapped stack! Inauspicious. While Block 2: stack 05 should be facing Flying Star E2 - if so, generally, the auspicious double #8's are wasted at the "back" of the apartment - which is usually the kitchen/yard area.

Waterfront is a nice location and has the upcoming MRT to look forward to. It just worries me that there is a huge number of units coming up.
There are a couple of thousand units coming online within the space of a few years. Add to that the existing projects, and the fact that the MRT will take a while to be operational, and I think rental there will be quite a challenge.
No issue for own stay though, just hope that the govt widen the roads and that the MRT construction does not cause too much inconvenience...

Totally agree. I had also viewed the area couple of time, there are too many units coming up, easily above 2,000 on top of currently condo units (baywater, clear water, etc...) Initially i also thought of buying 1 unit there, but noticed the traffic in the morning and evening is really bad. I would prefer woodleigh than bedok reservoir. Of course in term of price bedok reservoir is much affordable than woodleigh area. :2cents:
Isle is not very near to future MRT, its about 600m++
Looks like a good 9-12mths at least to do up finishings and exterior paintwork, landscaping, approvals etc.
I can't wait for the 9 to 12 months to past!
Time for some really important and tough decisions! :D

8 to 10 min walk.... Not long to walk but if the terrain is steep or if the route is unsheltered, the elements can be quite a put off for some. :p
The park is a nice walk. I read someone posted last time that the developers will be constructing a covered walkway for the Waterfront Collections to the future Bedok Reservoir Station.

Hey all, here are some pictures taken today from blossoms. Good progress on T6 since my last post. They've demolished the showflat too. Other towers don't seem to be getting any taller for the last few weeks, does anyone know why?
Wow....tower 6 is growing fast! Soon your view will be blocked. :p
Thanks stebu! Construction slowdown is always expected during the 15 days Lunar New Year period, as most of the Foreign Supervisors, Foremen & Workers return home to celebrate.

Majority of foreman, supervisors, Skilled workers like tower or mobile crane operators , subcontractor bosses are Msian, closed for 10-14 days, celebrate cny. So while foreign workers maybe around in Singapore, no leader or decision maker, work also can't proceed, result in slow down. Besides, the CNY is the single "the holiday" for these people. Other times, they work damn hard, late into the night, start early like 8am on site, even sat and sun.
Showflat gone means Electrical Sub-station and the Rubbish Bin will be coming up soon!

Ya, sub- station normally need to be commissioned on average 9-12mths before actual TOP.
Actually I'm quite surprised that the Substation was still not being constructed, as normally that will be the among the 1st structure to be completed. So that the temporary electricity can be provided for the other works.

So that the temporary electricity can be provided for the other works. Sub-station can be built and commissioned in 6mths. Ya, you are right. Normally, it is one of the structure under the critical path of construction progress as there are testing and commissioning that need to be done. And after it is being certified, then power supply can be feed to the project itself so that electrical test can be done to the actual blocks and critical items like lifts, etc before application for TOP.
Might be the angle but T6 & T2 look also next to each other...

OMG! the whole development and the blks are all so very cramped and close to one another. Super high density in small piece of land. No privacy all round. Air flow affected too. When someone farts, the rest of the neighbours will know! Wow. Sure looks uninviting for me. Glad I gave this project a miss at the time of launch for exactly the reasons above... You think there will be many sellers when owners get their keys and walk into the compound?
Here's an earlier pic and siteplan, but its generally good all round la.
