View Full Version : The Interlace (D3, 99 years Leasehold, CapitaLand)
this is messy and massy....
tons of containers piling up, the feeling is really no good
My wife also shared that it looks messy..:scared-5:
Anyway, beauty is the eye of the beholder...I thought it looks iconic..
I think this is a good project. In fact, it will be very valuable since everyone here criticising it.
The more criticism has for this development means it is effectively an ICON.
It had its own unique desgin and selling points too which is not too bad :hell-hath-no-fury:
mona lisa is overhyped just like many of craplands projex
Overhyped but yet is iconic... Hahahaha...
Still centre of attraction for louvre... Hahahaha...many people after seeing it will not understand but proud to have seen it... This is the psychological impact... Who cares if it is beautiful or not... So long as people talk about it, it has done its job... Hahahaha...:cheers4:
Think simon in american idol, and u will get wat i mean. Hahahaha
If not, just hate it...hahahaha
I actually loved those units overlooking the huge natural park.. Must be damn nice having morning breakfast and evening drinks at the balcony overlooking that.
With the Alexandra distripark and technopark just around the vicinity, rental would be sweee.... Not forgetting that HortPark, Forestwalk and Canopy Walk are nearby too. I really love this project (minus the pie facing ones)
I love Interlace. So huge. So many hidden areas. My kids will love to play hide and seek here. The view will be fantastic too. If I can see interlace from far far away. It means residents can see very far too. Ho-ah.
Never sleep under a beam in fenghshui terms. For this, its a gigantic beam. Unless you stay on the top stack.

i guess you do not have any engineering knowledge, slabs are supported by beams. u dont see any rooms with a beam at midspan.

actually its not just the beam, if you noticed the layout, many units at interlace will also have the corners from opposite block pointing towards them. That to me is really bad fengshui.

yes, on top of this, there is no cross ventaliation
The inner units in this "stacko" arrangement suffers the most. The outer most may still be alright. This is one devt that is very dicey to buy off plans...
capitaland business philosophy is to rip buyer off in an artistic way.
This is one development where some will love it while some won't.
Some will feel it is artistic, iconic and there will be lots of spaces, recesses, private areas etc, while others will feel that a number of the units have sharp ends/odd corners, claustrophobic etc.
Its all in the eyes of the beholder.
May be better to hold judgement till TOP.

Structure is pretty much complete, quality of finishing and fittings confirm DBSS standard (Can tell from the balcony railing) The only thing which is missing are the landscaping.

agree, not impressed with the finishing.
But its current prices will still attract some people when it TOP
The other potential issues with interlace is the risk of high rise litter on the recreation area and the lack of morning sun.
If you noticed, the pool side recreation area are actually located right under the residential block, so I would imagine that once in awhile, you will get people throwing cigarette butt tissue ear bud on your head while you are resting by the pool.
Another problem is there will be limited sunlight you will get by the pool as the entire pool are block by the containers. Not an ideal place for expat tenant who like to bath under the morning sun.

I don;t think there'll be a lot of hdb apeks smoking cigs in this condo. so don't worry about cigs or litter bugs too much.
Incidently this condo is 'strange' as higher floor are priced less than lower floor-due to the roof design.
Visitor: "hey, how to get to your condo?"
Owner/tenant: "Oh, you know, you drive along AYE and turn out when you see these ugly blocks/containers/tombstones..."

litter bugs are not just limited to ah pek. Even ang moh will do that once in awhile, and worst if there are PRC tenant. There is not a single condo that I have been to that doesnt have people complain about little bug, so no exception for interlace as well especially a development with 1000 over units.

they should build in balls instead of containers. no sharp corners.
Drove past it this morning. I noticed they are trying to cover up the slope area right next to AYE with some sort of fiberglass board to make it look like rocky surface of something. And underneath it is basically hollow.
My question is, wont such structure create a good nesting grow for rats, snakes and other pests? And how long can such plastic structure last before they need a complete replacement?
I also observed from outside that the material they used look very budget such as the balcony railing :confused: and the block desgin look very "dead" like pile of tombstone stack on each other :samurai-killa:

Maybe shocked at the Beauty or the Beast. Its in the eyes of the beholder.
I personally think that Capland projects were never outstanding esp in building facade designs. Just look at some examples here:

http://www.capitalandresidential.com/images/portfolio/melrose_park.jpg
http://www.capitalandresidential.com/images/portfolio/citylights.jpg
http://www.capitalandresidential.com/images/portfolio/aspen_heights.jpg
This one look like Beacon Heights copied them:
http://www.capitalandresidential.com/images/portfolio/imperial.jpg
And this one IMO is their best looking thus far, although still blocky blocky but mixed with the surround poshy facilities and landscape not so bad:
http://www.capitalandresidential.com/images/portfolio/levelz.jpg
Visitor: "hey, how to get to your condo?"
Owner/tenant: "Oh, you know, you drive along AYE and turn out when you see these ugly blocks/containers/tombstones..."
or
. . . When you see a big, beautiful, unique, amazing, masterpiece, turn out.
Happen to drive pass and somehow the foreground fits interlace perfectly.

I agree. it does not look that bad.
Also on the depot road condo, it's looking quite nice too. The landscaping is progressing nicely and I think I can see the running/walking path
The speed of construction is simply amazing.. Something about container design can be built faster?

But then again, its called `Fish Tank' for a reason :D Darn hot! So being neatly stacked means air flow is blocked. I remembered the blocks at Interlace is `stacked' to encourage air flow around the blocks. It remains to be seen if it really works though.
Having said that, I do like Interlace and its concept.
Do you know there is something call the Direct Solar Radiation and Diffused Solar Radiation? This one will have quite a bit of diffused one on top of the direct depending on the time of the day and orientation.

Construction contact said they had to use a special type of cement for the buildings -being built and laid horizontally. Also maybe because they don't have to pile so deep? -that's why pace is faster
recent caveats shows region $1.2-1.3k psf for 3 bedders, which looks like a steal in comparison to Echelon... although after considering Echelon is overall a better project (location etc).

Crapland need to clear as much as possible as they know going forward, it is going to be tough... That's y clearing d'leeton and now, interlace which all have over 1000 units per development.. More condos is coming on board and the risk of holding is getting higher and higher..
The next one will be the sky habitat.. Another of crapland over priced over enthusiastic bidding and acquisition project.. The only thing that is stopping them to reduce the price now at sky habit is the land beside this which they cannot drop price now or cause a further escalation of price drop over in bishan.. But they will have no choice later cos its just ridiculous pricing there due to their own doing..

Usually TOP will attract renewed interests. As to whether price will shoot up or inch up it remains to be seen. Interlace though near AYE, it lacks MRT and amenities in its immediate vicinity; could be inconvenient if one does not drive. Regarding its architectural design, it's 'beauty in the eyes of the beholder'. ;)

Alexandra area seems to be drawing in some interest -check out the Alexandra Central sales. Also, if alexandra hospital moves out, there will be a nice lush site there for redevelopment (perhaps a school?). Further down the other end, Mapletree Biz City....
I guess the quantum starting from 1.89mil is still too high even with the discounts for most people to swallow, thanks to the CM7. Unless you are buying your first home or had already sold everything waiting to strike.

Wonder when will be Sky Habitat's turn to do mega discounts? :rolleyes:

Perhaps not shoot up in literal sense.
Since so many have concerns about this project and the current prices reflect that, but if at TOP, this project turns out to be better than expected, those who bought at launch may well have a tidy profit, and prices may move up.

Its a tough call frankly...for 2 reasons :
1)when developers drop prices subsequently..the early buyers no longer has a price advantage compared to later buyers...and hence, to realise tidy profit is kinda difficult..
2)there will be intense competition from 1000+ units in such a development
Wonder when will be Sky Habitat's turn to do mega discounts? :rolleyes:

even at $1300psf, a 150sqm unit at d'leedon will be almost $2.1m. This kind of quantum and unit size puts it in a different league and category of buyers.

no no no no, they under-represent. it should be called a 4+study!
or more correctly a 3+study+furniture deck which can squeeze in a double bed and stare at a ceiling pretty close, more like a coffin.
really? they are marketing it plainly as a 4 bedroom. Why is URA allowing such gross misrepresentation?

So why tenants rent a 400sqft studio where they can rent a 3rm flat with some savings?
I am pretty amazed by the rentals of those geylang MM.
What are the differences between condo/apt and HDB besides size? That should be the reason
This design if you roll off the bed you roll down the stairs.
Is it possible to carry a queen bed up the platform?
What are the differences between condo/apt and HDB besides size? That should be the reason
For big projects with nice facilities and security, yes i can understand the difference. Trade off space for better lifestyle.
But for geylang mm boutique apartments?
some interlace bedrooms have FS issue. It is hanging by the air...

Homing in on property price cuts
Earlier buyers may feel they lost out; others accept market conditions change
The Straits Times - February 8, 2013

CapitaLand projects such as The Interlace at Alexandra Road (above) have slashed prices by an additional 10 per cent, while d'Leedon in the former Farrer Court estate offered discounts of up to 15 per cent for some units. -- PHOTOS: FILE, SEAH KWANG PENG
DEVELOPERS who have been cutting prices following the new cooling measures risk angering buyers who bought at the earlier levels, say experts.
But developers claim that the recent discounting does not necessarily disadvantage early buyers.
Property experts say some buyers who have just shelled out on a new home will inevitably be unhappy when they see units at the same development suddenly going cheaper.
An industry player, who declined to be named, said price cuts are a sensitive issue and unhappiness with the developer can be expected with some buyers "banging tables".
"But you can't expect the best deal all the time, especially if the market has turned... When developers raise prices after a launch, they don't ask the earlier buyers to cough up more money instead," he said.
Some developers have cut prices amid concerns of a deluge of housing supply in the pipeline, coupled with the risk of the market slowing on the back of the tough new curbs.
CapitaLand projects such as 1,040-unit The Interlace at Alexandra Road have slashed prices by an additional 10 per cent, while 1,715-unit d'Leedon in the former Farrer Court estate offered discounts of up to 15 per cent for some units.
Far East Organization also offered further discounts of up to 5 per cent at eCO in Bedok and Seastrand in Pasir Ris recently, after the seventh round of curbs kicked in on Jan 12.
When asked if earlier buyers had expressed unhappiness at the discounts, A CapitaLand spokesman told The Straits Times: "Our buyers, in general, are aware that we consider the prevailing market conditions and offerings at other developments within the same area when coming up with promotional schemes.
"In fact, some buyers who purchased units earlier enjoyed more attractive pricing despite the current promotional discounts."
He pointed out that these buyers also paid lower stamp duties and had higher loan quantums so once these factors are taken into consideration, it would not be meaningful to compare prices of units bought at different times.
Another developer, who declined to be named, said the firm explains to earlier buyers that the price premium they might have paid is due to the choicer units being offered to them at the earlier launch date.
Even with discounts, prices rarely fall below the launch level, he added, as prices are typically inched up gradually as the project sells more units.
Price cutting is certainly not new.
Melrose Park, a 999-year leasehold project in the River Valley area, for instance, cut prices by as much as 40 per cent during the Asian financial crisis as the market bottomed out.
Mr Desmond Tan, who bought a one-plus-study unit for about $1 million at d'Leedon in early 2011, said the discounts on offer now are fair from the point of view of the developer.
"They want to clear more stock before more units enter the market. Of course, I would have liked to save some money but in life, you can't always get the best deal," he said.
"I'm resigned to the contract that I've signed and realistic about it."

it is quite funny how they use melrose park as an e.g. coz its also a capitaland project. its like re-emphasising, we have a track record of cutting prices during downturns.

They never mention Wharf Residence also cut prices in '09 crisis.
Actually times have changed. In the past the price cut in terms of percentage was quite significant. today it is a quantum game, after the past years of run up in prices, a delicious discount still means high quantum especially for big units.

And if I may add, they did it with Floravale in 2001. Price cut and rebates in terms of unit trusts from SCB.

The will claim the artist impression applies to the building structure and the surroundings are just for illustration. We are becoming so densely built, if they were illustrating the building from that sort of angle, chances are the view will be blocked off largely by adjacent developments.

i actually tried walking. for eg to sophia residence from dhoby ghaut, their side gate beside the former paradiz centre is quite a distance away. if want to go by main entrance need to climb a long flight of steps. not as siong distance-wise vs interlace but climbing steps is no easy task for pple with knee problems.

Now, when we talk about XXX project mins to mrt, I always take it as the walking time, else the info is very misleading. If I drive, I won't even bother about 'how long to drive to mrt'.
I just hope that developers and agents can be more upfront and accurate in providing information. We have to protect the interests of the consumers.
Yes, it will take at least 20 mins to walk to Labrador mrt. Of course, one can enjoy the park connector and the nature view of the Southern Ridges plus the busy traffic of Alexandra Road along the way.
Why don't mention it is also mins from Queenstown mrt? Lol.
Btw, is Interlace address Alexandra Road or Depot Road?

nothing wrong with it.

nothing wrong with it.
10, 20, 30, 40 mins are all 'minutes'
Of course absolutely nothing wrong. It is just playing with words.
The point I am trying to make is if the advert says "mins drive to Labrador mrt", "mins bus ride to Labrador" or even "mins jog to Labrador" then it is not that misleading.
Just like what I said in my earlier post, Changi airport also within mins from anywhere in Singapore.
Btw, 100, 1 000, 10 000 mins etc. are all also 'minutes', nothing wrong with it.
I maintain that developers and agents should provide accurate information to consumers.

Yes, agree with you bro!:cheers5: We can find this fact in propertyguru, they state the nearest mrt stations with distance on the map.
Developers and agents should provide a detail fact sheet about the property since buying properties is a very big ticket item and less informed consumers might be misled into making wrong decisions.
Provide something just like the technical specifications when we step into the showroom to buy a car.
Clear and transparent, no ambiguity or misinterpretation.
Do you think I will call agents who provide vague and misleading info?
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
I last heard Interlace having 10% + 10%, dunno how true. Will go down and take a look today if the weather is fine. :spliff:
Btw, when I go showrooms, I prefer to take public transport than to drive so that I can 'feel the ground' and the surroundings better. :cool:

Agreed.so far 8 out of 10 agents I came across not well knowing the products they selling and some even can't answer my questions properly which I already knew the answer but I just wanna test water their skills.some really anyhow hum dump.if you are new just tell me you are new and check for me I can accept that but some just wanna act professional but in fact is not and ruined the sales and if I interested I just go back second time not looking back for the same agent again.But recently is really a bit different story cos people just rush to buy before cm and people just wanna get the unit they want and dun care who they buy from.Those agents will be lucky and get away with it and no need much explanations and just close sale within an hour.sometimes,I think need agents for what,I knew much more than them.

please give those agent a break lah. whats the point of asking questions if you already know. I am sure if they ask you question they already know, you might also be making up things just to make yourself sound knowledgeable.
Marketing department of the developer has starting confirming that the TOP is expected by end of Year 2013.
Reply on the question of expected TOP time:
"Dear Sir,
Contractually, we are required to obtain TOP & deliver vacant possession of the unit to you by 31 March 2015. However, based on the current progress of the construction works, we estimate that we should be able to obtain the TOP certification by the end of Year 2013.
Please note that this is only an estimate and as construction/completion date is dependent on several factors, the actual TOP date may be earlier or later than our current estimate. You may therefore wish to check our website periodically to see if there is any latest update on the estimated TOP date. Alternatively, you can also call our Marketing Hotline to check for any new update.Please also take note that we TOP certification is obtained, we will send out the notice to take vacant possession (ie informing purchaser to make payment and arrange for key collection) batch by batch. Some purchasers will therefore receive the said notice (via solicitors) earlier while others later. In view of the large number of units in the development, we may take some time to serve the said notice to each and every purchaser in the development.Meantime, should you have any other enquiry, please feel free to email us again or contact our Marketing Hotline for assistance.
Thank you.

If interlace is hard to paint, then D'Leedon will be super duper hard to paint! Lol.... I pass by D'Leedon everyday, and looking at the all-white structures and undulating lines (similar to interlace and sky habitat), my only thought is that the upkeep would be horrendous in the years to come. Give it two to three years, watermarks and rain streaks will be quite pronounced to render another paint job neccy.
Luckily these three devts have a large number of units to upkeep the maintenance. Otherwise the artists' impression will only be a pipe dream. :)

Tried to visit the showflat a while back, but that was when they were moving into actual unit. Anyone been to see it since? Where did they set it up?
I have reasons to believe that Interlace will do well for those planning to rent out. This is supported by expatriates whose children are studying in the surrounding international schools and working in offices nearby.
With 3 parks spanning across namely Telok Blangah, Kent Ridge, and Mount Faber, I think it will be pretty cool.
Does any agent think that Interlace can command rental of at least $5psf?
Ill say rent starts at 3500 for the 807 units. Agent here;)

Hi, i am relatively new here so not certain if this request is appropriate in this forum. Have purchased a sub sale unit recently but not having any luck in obtaining the floor plans. Have been hounding the lawyers and agent but response is if dont have then nothing can be done till after completion when they can connect with the developer directly, which is some weeks away. Am hoping to get some furnishing during the upcoming GSS. So just trying my luck here to see if any owners have a similar size unit (1808 sq ft) and comfortable in sharing or any suggestions on how / who else i can approach to obtain the plans. Thanks!

You must continue to pester them. Or you may call up capitaland. They will help you. Don't have to tell them you bought sub sale. Just say you are owner. Reveal only when asked.
I don't recommend buying furniture so soon. Unless you have a place to store them. Down the road you may see something nicer and you regret buying too early. Lastly, there arr aleays furniture sales. Rule of thumb, furniture always give 30% discount. It is standard. Ask for more than that, net price and free delivery.

Hmm... off hand, I can think of the following possibilities:
a. go to the showflat, and ask the agents / develop's rep there - the Interlace floor plans were loose leafs, so hopefully there are still copies of yours around
b. google "Interlace floor plans" - sites like Singaporeexpat should usually have them

Hi, i am relatively new here so not certain if this request is appropriate in this forum. Have purchased a sub sale unit recently but not having any luck in obtaining the floor plans. Have been hounding the lawyers and agent but response is if dont have then nothing can be done till after completion when they can connect with the developer directly, which is some weeks away. Am hoping to get some furnishing during the upcoming GSS. So just trying my luck here to see if any owners have a similar size unit (1808 sq ft) and comfortable in sharing or any suggestions on how / who else i can approach to obtain the plans. Thanks!
Go to developer's website. All the floor plans are there.

Which agency handled your purchase?
What you can do is go to the showflat with your executed option. ask for a CapLand staff on duty there and get the details. THey have them on their iPads and should be able to get ou a copy.
Which block did you buy.

This may not work if you need very accurate measurements.
But for others, think you can use the width of the doorway as a scale reference.

You can get those drawings from BCA.
Check out some of the floor plans from the Palette thread : http://forums.condosingapore.com/showthread.php?t=12295&page=88
At BCA, when viewing the drawings on the PC, you can even make use of the software to take the actual dimensions.

I am on BCA site. Where to find the floor plans?
i quoted SGlife from Plalette thread:
From BCA, and here's the website :
http://www.bca.gov.sg/legalsearch/LegalSearchapp.aspx
1. Submit your request online which will cost you S$20 for BCA to search their database. No refund even if BCA fails to find the drawings which you looking for.
2. BCA will send you an email informing you whether the search is success or not. I received mine after 3 working days.
3. If success, you then go to BCA counter at MND building to view and select your drawings on a HP touch screen computer. All floor plans are in AutoCAD format and structural drawings are in PDF format. You then decide which are the drawings you want to print. Each set will cost you S$25 (not per drawing but per set of drawings).
4. Then the printing vendor who is just next to the BCA counter, will print out your preferred size (A1=S$6, A2=S$4). You can even request the staff at the printing room to zoom into any specific area for the print out.
Note:
- You have to be the property's owner to view or print the drawings. You will need to submit a copy of your "Certificate of Stamp Duty" as proof during your visit to the BCA counter.
- You will not be given the soft copy, only can print out in hardcopy.
Tried to visit the showflat a while back, but that was when they were moving into actual unit. Anyone been to see it since? Where did they set it up?
The current entrance is via the side gate that is located just after the bridge over the AYE. Just before the road goes left uphill. No carpark tho.

Looks like the bar/karoke room is at basement:cheers6:
I think the garden houses could have good potential - investment and more so for rental. It is like a landed house with facilities and quite rare to find houses like this. Any thoughts?

Not sure how the rental demand will be at that part of town, but at least the garden houses are limited in supply in the development vs the standard units.
There are only a few left available from what I understand.

So they expect viewers to be highly motivated enough to pay for parking elsewhere and walk far far to their show flat??? :doh:
Sorry, I'm not motivated enough. I'll give it a miss.

Thanks for the info tho.
Coming along nicely. Looks like TOP could be earlier than thought.

Wayfinding in such a development can be a real problem. :confused:
Carpark all ready

Nice looking pool.
Looks like the project could turn out to be a sleeper hit, in movie analogy.

you are buy a garden together with the house. Actual living space is approx half of that. so that fact is that it is not as cheap as the papers or agent wants to project.
Those without a garden, are approx. 1200 psf.

Well it depends on how it portrays to the buyers, some buyers prefer to have their own private garden or to host bbq party.

For that pricing and location, if a buyer truly likes a private garden, landed would be a much better choice..
nice view of the pool ...
WAh, very nice. How did you manage to take the pic? They allow viewing now?
Anyone know if the show houses still available for viewing?

Yes..the entrance has moved from depot road to alexandra rd and nearest parking is probably at hort park. 100 meters walk.
I was at the show flat today. The agent tells that inspections have been going on for last three weeks and TOP is expected by end august, early september.
I have a unit 3BR+S, 2000+ area at 15+ floor, good south west view. Looking to sell at 3m ie 1400psf. Anyone interested, PM me.

Your unit is better than the available developer's units?
[QUOTE=Komo]Your unit is better than the available developer's units?[/QUOTE
Undoubtedly.
Available units are garden houses and duplex ground floors. On paper the areas are large but actual usable area is much lesser. So on paper psf is lower but higher for usable area. Also the high floor and view are the attractive points for my unit.
Anyway, i have vested interest so my reply could be biased. One has to check and compare himself.
For this project, it's either you go for the view or a ground floor unit with large PES that gives you the feeling of landed. After you strip out the PES sqf, it works out to be the same ballpark psf but the higher floors have a slightly highet psf.
All garden houses are sold out from what I understand.
Wow. Impressive design. And it's just next to the Labrador Park and Gillman Village. Love to stay there.:cheers6:
higher floors are able to view harbourfront.
Priceless in time to come.
