1100psf for 3br? definitely overpriced!

How about looking into the places surrounding that area that are going around 900 psf? Mint residences, D'fresco, Spring@langsat, Carpmaelina, Stillz residence?

Agree,it seem quite expensive, guess is due to the recent ppty rally....:scared-3: not much of a choice, every where also expensive,...

Coralis oredi $1300+ psf....nothing wrong with Tembeling Residence selling at $1100 psf right?

Anyway, very soon, you won't be able to find anything below $1K psf in D15 for new properties.

Both are in the vicinity behind tembeling road further east. Look it up on propertyguru to get a rough idea of pricing.
I disagree with Blue about the pricing though, I still think it's ex. considering it's smaller dev compared to coralis with less facilities, location wise less choicy.

A difference of $300 psf for a 1000 sqft unit is $300K. For $300K savings, you get less facilities. Location wise is almost the same, if not, Tembeling is better cos more quiet. Coralis is along joo chiat rd which is quite heavy traffic.

Also, you need to consider the number of neighbours sharing the same facilities. I have seen places like City Square - the swimming pool is filled with multinationals - Chinese, Indians, Saui Arabians, Ang Mos...u name it, they have it there..

If you ask me, i think Moda is a better development as they have only 56 units and a sizeable pool to share.

Hi, Katong has great potentials in the long run considering the low plot ratio now. If it changes up in the future, the gold mine will unfold.

There was an advert last sat on this project....anyone been to the showflat yet...?

seem that ppty price continue to rise so...beacon edge already 1000+psf.
no wonder Tembeling residence is 1100-1200psf...or course, coralis is way higer ..due to its size and facilities.
I prefer the peace and quiet Tembeling area ....yet surround by eateries and amenities.

Katong's a nice place with character. (including the tembeling estate)

I think this place's ppty will appreciate steadily in the months to come. Alot of premium pptys launch in this area will mean good resale value in the years to come.

:D go for it!

see the showflat. No planter box and bay window, very functional and squarish layout.~ 50% sold. only 1 3 bedroom left and some 2 bedrm, 2bedrm ph, studio etc. of course, it is a small projt with 19 units.
near to many amenities, okay for small familes. pool is the 5th level, surface carpark (1 to 1 ratio). :)
my wife like the surrounding and the good schools nearby, plentiful eateries etc ..

Make sure you get some sort of black and white about the maintenance. Small projects like that usually make owners absorb high costs per unit. Don't be surprised if you asked to pay 350-500 for 2BR maintenance.......

Blue
07-04-10, 16:09
Small projects means lesser area to maintain too. Only the 1st year maintenance is by Developers until internal Mgmt Committee forms up. Then you can cut costs by changing vendors.

These small projects are hidden gold mine in time to come when land is scarce and our gov't raises the plot ratio. It will be attractive to lure developers to enbloc 19 units and neighbouring landed hses, tear the structure down and build a 40 storey condo consisting of 300 units.

07-04-10, 16:23
I can quote a real life example where the estate of about 40 units have to pay about $400 pm and this is very small estate with a small swimming pool, a small playground and nothing else! Condos are not like landed properties (although maintenance fee is actually high too when these property ages). Condo estates should ideally not have too few units and also not too many units. How many is subjective. To me, it means about 100-200 units is the best with swimming pool, tennis court, number of car parks >110% of number of units, playground, and sufficient greenery for stroll all around the estate. If a condo estate has no facilities other than a small swimming pool that can't even swim but just for dipping only, what for buy condo? Might as well stay in HDB.

Contrary to what some said, small estate size has no appeal to developers because such project cannot sell for high prices because no full facilities and lack of appeal to potential buyers. Nowsdays big & reputable developers like to develop estate of >200 units with full condo facilities.

If you like to share facilities with 100 to 200 families in a condo, that is equivalent to sharing a public pool in a HDB estate too. Might as well stay in a HDB right next to a public swimming pool right?

Boutique developments has its own charming appeal because lesser families are sharing the same facilities with you.

For a condo, besides sharing pool and other leisure facilities with 100 to 300 families, you are also sharing a lift with more than 200 families eg. six units in one level x 40 levels. During rush hours to work, you might hv to wait 10 mins just to get into a lift! And another 10 mins in the car queue just to get out of the multi-storey carpark! :D Without even hitting the road, 20 mins per day is already gone wasted :doh:

If you don't like to share facilities, why buy condo?
As I said, idea size is 100-200 units, but come with full facilities - i.e. reasonable size pool, tennis court, playground, greenery all around etc.
Whenever I heard of "Boutique developments", what comes to my mind is that these are usually condo estate with about 60 units or less, a swimming pool good enough for the dogs to swim (not human), no tennis court, etc.
Is it better to share with 100-200 families on a very large swimming pool or just to share a swimming pool with even another soul in a pool large enough to fit a dog to swim? :banghead:

"Multi-storey car park"? Ha ha ha! I will never buy a condo with multi-storey car park. Just like those so-called "Boutique developments". :scared-2:

"six units in one level x 40 levels"?
Which cheap-skate condo has only 1 single lift serving 6 units in each level for 40 levels? :scared-1:
You are probably right for those so-called private lifts. I never like those so-called "private lifts" as well if just 1 "private lift" serves 10 levels or more. I prefer common lifts. 6 units in 1 level, I would expect at least 3 common lifts.

3 common lifts serving 6 units in 1 level x 40 levels => 80 families per lift => so much exclusive yeah?:doh:

200 families x avg 4 pax per family => 800 people sharing a swimming pool with 30M x 6M => 0.225 sqm per person => you can't even fit a dog inside! :banghead: I still have not count in those visitors / guests / relatives of the owners.

800 people sharing one tennis court. Assuming the tennis court is open 12 hours a day. Each booking is 2 hour slot. One day can only accomodate 6 slots for 2 pax each slot. This will take 66 days (2 mths in advance) in the queue to successfully book one slot! :D

How many condos in prime district which houses more than 200 families dun use multi-storey carpark but provide surface parking for 200 lots? :beats-me-man:

Thats y I didnt buy condo, I bought boutiques and landed cos I am tired of the HDB style living. :spliff: After a hard day work, the only thing I want is to get back to a home with serene environment, unblocked view, privacy and quietness. Not a noisy place with long queues, cramped up pool and direct facing the opposite neighbours :sleep:

Bought boutique? Which is worse?:
1a) Boutique: 1 swimming pool fit for dog to swim (basically don't have to know how many units in there because 1 human swimming in there also too small, can just dip, cannot really swim).
1b) Normal full facilities condo: 100 units, 6m x 35m swimming pool. Most of the time, you can always swim freely until it becomes too crowded.

2a) Boutique: Multi-storey car park. ha ha ha! Might as well buy HDB since also multi-storey car park (noise from multi-story car park & also the fumes flowing downwards to common area), no facilities to speak of, no tennis court.
2b) Normal full facilities condo: Under-ground car park (no noise and fumes problem), people can book & play in tennis court (can book in advance, not everybody can go & play at same time right?).

3a) Boutique: As the name implies, very small estate land area => they are classified by URA as "Apartment" (not "CONDOMINIUM" status)! Since so small land area, usually cannot build high, so end up using up most of the land area for building the units in there and cramp all properties together, no greenery around in the condo compound (cannot even take a stroll in own estate compound). When you walk in and out you are in full view of your neighbours (like in fish tank :scared-2:).
3b) Normal full facilities condo: This can then be rightfully called "CONDOMINIUM" as recognized by URA (not those mickey mouse estate called "APARTMENT"). Greenery all around in the condo compound (can take a stroll around the estate compound).

4a) Boutique: Since 1 "private lift" or 2 common lift serve may be less than 10 storeys but 8 units or so on each floor, lift usually much much smaller than a full facilities condo (I know I know, I had stayed in such estate before wat! My movers complained like hell and ask for more money because furniture cannot fit into the lift and they have to hand-carry up to my house! That is why I believe such Boutique is usually crap and will never stay in such boutique apartment (not "condo"!)!!!)
4b) Normal full facilities condo: There are those with 3 common lifts servicing about 6 units per level for say 20+ storeys. Anytime you can also get onto 1 of the lift up or down, don't have to wait long basically. Lift big enough to carry my big furniture and sofa (and don't have to hand-carry up to my house).

Judging from the above, any people with right sense of mind will know what to choose, unless they are paying like >>30% cheaper for the boutique? Even 50% cheaper for the boutique I also won't buy. I might as well buy HDB flat (not much difference from these so-called Boutique apartment), & 75% cheaper some more!

Talk of landed, well, I never want to go back to the days when I have to be catching cockcroaches, lizards, rats, scorpians and getting snakes sneaking into our house. That is what people living in landed will experience. What unblocked view do landed have? (when surrounding all high rise condos or worse still surrounded by HDB flats?). Even if surrounded by other landed also will be seeing the neighbours directly! What UNBLOCKED VIEW are there??? :banghead:

Right, you should stay put in your HDB since it offers so many things you want and cheap cheap too. Not need to pay $1500 psf for a condo in D15.;)

They should start a HDB forum for u to go in and dissuade folks from buying private properties. You definitely belong there. :D

True, when there are few units like this case, maintenance will be higher between 250-300. Hopefully, we can change vendor and cut some cost. currently. small project has its own charm, fewer neighbours etc..which is good in a way. we choose there for the school, eateries , amenties and the layout is regular shaped, no planter box and bay window. :)

I have compared with Tembeling court before finalizing on Tembeling residence. I am avoiding projects too deep into joo chiat due to the sleaze factor.

still walkable to the rumored future mrt site, though there's no shelter. however, it's still further away as compared to psb or coralis.

MP Chan Soo Sen had already showed that the sleaze is getting mopped up gradually in the press interview. if the transformation to a eurasian/peranakan cultural hotspot is successful, then the neighbourhood should surely be lively and interesting.

For a price (psf) difference of $300 to $500psf, this translates to S$390K to S$650K of price difference for a 3 bedder! The savings can buy a HDB 5rm and rent out for S$2K per month! Or I can buy my dream Audi R8 to drive to Katong Mall instead of walking. Bec of this, I would choose Tembeling Residence as compared to Coralis / PSB.

Not a noisy place with long queues, cramped up pool and direct facing the opposite neighbours :sleep:

Hi blue...which district u are in then...D14,15 ..? mcm resided in D14.
Due to scarcity of land in spore... FH boutique and landed is a good bets, in years to come...:)

Me too...I like D15 for its proximity to the beach and city.

One more thing to add....I find this forum one of the most informative forum for Property discussion.
UNFORTUNATELY, due to its unmoderated nature, it has also caused it to be a place to start arguments, name calling, belittling other forummers etc.....
I hope that we can all act more maturely here and discuss things in a more professional and objective way.
There's no need to belittle other's opinions or preference over here.
If you like a specific type of development or location, then jolly well go to that discussion thread or start you own thread and voice it out.
You don't have to go and spoil other people's thread by belittling his opinions, likes or ideas.

That my concern too...we think for a long time and estimated the dimension a bit (do some mathematics etc eg since door width are known). also, the 4rm for Dawson in HDB office....85 or 87+m2, for 4 room...meaning 3 bedder. So I guess if HDB is do-able, we should be able to live there too.

I got 2 small kids , so they share a room. The other will be a study room for them. There a bomb shelther which we used as storeroom. The design is quite squarish and no bay window,planter box so thay help in space planning. maid got to sleep in kitchen...no choice. There no WC or maid room ..:)

It is the people who stay in the development that makes the difference. Not a bunch of kiasu neighbours who bombards and try to make full use of the condo facilities they paid for. These people mentality is "Better to have it and use it to the maximum than not to have it."

Residents of boutique developments are the peaceful and generous folks who dun even bother about facilities which they have to compete and squeeze in a pool filled with multinationals :p

Sometimes I really wonder why in such small development, developer cannot just build a basement carpark and give residents more landscape, communal facilities or nice pool on the first floor? I mean the land area is already so small - that is the minimal a developer should do and not cut corners and save costs everywhere.

Basement carpark is so so much more expensive! Developers will resort to all means to cut costs unless they are selling premium products but then those premium products will need to sell at a "premium"!

Another cost cutting measure they like to introduce is the "all-glass ceiling-to-floor wall facade". Glass so much cheaper than concrete wall! 20 years from then and who is foot the bill to replace these glass walls? :scared-2:

Thx,Teddy bear ,wild falcon... I must agree.
hee, btw, just a coincidence that both your nick are "animals"..no pun intended.:)

1)It be good to have a basement carpark and then more space for facilities. Nowadays, all corporations are profit orientated. All must a/c to the nvestors so no way they splurge on costly basement carpark for you.

2) Agree...all glass is cheaper than concrete. Nice to look at, but after 20 years, someone must pay the bill....well, let come to that 20 yr later.

3) Actually, if you look at the density of built -up vs those old projects 10-15 year ago, you will see that current projects are ALL very dense.
"...Enbloc 100 units then built 300 units on same land etc"..

As consumer or buyer, we dont have much of a choice as that is the trend now. There is also the crazy planter box and balcony + bay window.
Luckky URA 2010 regulation rule out the planter box and bay window.

The worst is those projects with big planter box on big balcony and then follow by thick bay window...:banghead:

the remaining four 2, 2+1 bedder and one pH will be sold by agent, i guess. the facing of the 2 bedder not as good, while studio and 3 bedder were all sold out quite a while ago.

actually, for rental purpose..I think facing should probably not be a main concern.:)

Don't be so sensitive. Just commenting generally on cheap devts cutting corners with no basement carpark. I do hv an investment in D15 but I believe in being impartial. I actually think this district at today's price is over valued with horrible yields. The tenants here pay 3k type n not better than suburbs. And I hate all the cheapskate devts sprouting in this area that cheapen the entire area.
Bro, you dun hv to explain / clarify / debate so much to those two toy animals. Can't you see their hidden agenda / ill intentions after seeing so many of their anti-D15 posts? :doh:

Hi can u take some snaps of how tembresid exterior look like? I recalled a very lean and narrow dev side by side with studio temb and another * tembeling dev.

temb residence is flanked by 2 rather " board size" apartment - beacon edge (enbloc from pumpkin garden, i think) and temb grove (quite a old apartment) . no small lean devt beside it.

i check around... tembeling residence former site is song tat boarding house (it a student hostel + hotel)...and hence such a rect regular plot...

in my view, I think better to get projt from regular plot than from terrace house...as it more regularity.

temb studio is very long and elongated as it is acquired from 2 or 4 terrace... i think, front and back. so it is nested among terrace house. I think u are referring to tembeling studio..:)

best option, go and take a look....

2.True, beacon edge r bigger land size as it was enbloc from another older apartment. I see a 3 bedder there, it quite gd in size and layout. Do go and chk it out. But again, it in close proximity, as it an apartment.

3.Go further down tembeling road, there r vitra and tembeling court, u can refer to their thread in d15 for info, and also chk it out on site. Both r apartment.

4. Take a look at the 3 frontal units in tembeling res. It rather unblocked, w good view.

In land scarce Singapore, to get unblocked view is a luxury not a given. Esp if you also want to be near human life and traffic and amenities. Simple basic Geography lesson from high school taught us all that. Settlement patterns. So increasingly we need to live with looking into each others houses and respecting other privacy. Its there but you dont have to look! Projects like Tembeling Residence, Celestia, Kembangan Suites provide an unblocked sky pool so for that occasional need to feel the breeze and unblocked freedom you may just take a lift to go up and enjoy. Even if your curtains permanently drawn 3/4 it doesn't hurt so much.

Hi marktkt would like to check with u is the windows thicker than what we see in some of the newly TOP apt and condo. Reason I am asking because from propertyguru it looks thick. The older Condo and apt I have came across are all thick windows with thick white coated painted framing, like Quintet and Metropolitan. Some people either hate it or like it. I belong to the latter who dun really appreciate thicker framing because it made the window kind of small you know. Hope no offense.

I'm glad thicker windows work best for u. I must confess I go for appearance than functional heh heh. Thinner windows normally come with sleeker aluminum framing which go well with curtains and the wall color. Of cos thicker ones too.

kids room grille ...kids room have a nice pool view of tembeling grove (neighbouring projt)..:) both the kids room face the pool...

basically, all the 3 rooms have an unblock view. master room share the same view as balcony...so unless someone built an apartment in the midst of landed home...the view is still good.

recent weather is terrible. Even though i only have morning sun .. i am going to get some solar film...and hopefully reduce the heat. initially thot dun need, but now..the temp is so hot , even in morning.

If you really want to know, I have a rental unit there.

I must say that developer did a good job for this development in terms of the quality of fittings and finishing.

I din expect them to use Grohe taps and rain showers at the price that they were selling. The marble flooring used is also high grade. The only complaint that I received was the absence of cabinet below the wash basin in the bathrooms. I had to engage my own contractor for that.

Hi, thanks, at least one response.
Agreed, i also install my own vanity cabinets.
Btw, dont really know how to appreciate rainshower, nothing v special although it should be costly, grohe , ha ha
Kitchen should have a bit. More cabinets perhaps.
But developer really generous with the sockets, so many, v convenient.

I do agreed. Prefer more kitchen cabinets esp if some kitchen build on baywindow might as well fill them up.

I also prefer sanity cabinet below the basin but not on wall. Vetro gave full mirror in my bathroom, just nice for me. Any cabinets built to cover up the mirror will simply spoil the look

TR quality delivered. Cool.

There are really a lot of power sockets. I remember that in the MBR, there are double sockets on both sides of the bed and also a double socket at the foot.

Correct on Coralis but did not go for Auralis as its the same psf but at a less ideal location.

tinted dark version at $3.50psf ...untinted clear ... $9 or $12spf, including installation and warranty. I used the film from http://www.perfect.com.sg/ , based on recommend from ID and from the thread versilia@haig forumer experience.

actually, the window in temb residence already come with a very light tint, so using tinted solar film will darken the room...and kinda of spoilt the view...:)

Hi mcm
Apologies for late reply, the grille abt $9+, psf, no hidden cost.
There are 3 vendors in the mkt, i Chk already all their rate,
Invisys is the best priced, being a new player, and good craftman ship,.
Look for patrick from Invisys, the installn is hassle free, they settle everything for you.

The other 2 vendors quote me 11-12psf, and has quite a few extra charges.
The total cost for me abt 5k, but balcony is 80% of the cost, the 3 rm total 20% only.

Although I am vested in this project, I advise against it. The asking prices is no longer logical with studios asking at $14xx psf. The yield is at best 4% - 4.5%.

Received complaints from my tenant friend that the whole intercom system got pried out last weekend? Sound serious.
