Tiong Seng clinches $146m deal to build Tree House
By OLIVIA HO
CONSTRUCTION group Tiong Seng Holdings has won a $146 million contract to build Tree House - an eco-condominium pro-ject in Chestnut Avenue, off Upper Bukit Timah Road.
The contract, won through subsidiary Tiong Seng Contractors (TSC), was awarded by Chestnut Avenue Developments, a joint venture between City Developments and Hong Realty. Work on the project is expected to start next month and be completed by December 2012.
....just noticed that the statement by the contractor estimated the completion date as Dec 2012.....

Once water tanks hoisted up, maybe give them another 6-7 months to finish the rest of the structure works, e.g. club-house, pools, interior works (progressively doing now)... so...quite possible.
Went for a run around the area, noticed 2 blocks have their tops being installed.
Some blocks have most of the plastering done on the exterior, and are being painted white undercoat. Kitchens walls are being tiled, railings are being installed.Glass windows are being attached
At least one block has Air-con condenser installed on the lower floor........
Sorry no picts this time as was running.....

i saw the entire apt was actually fenced off leh..it's a nobody land now?:beats-me-man:
Well looking at the master Plan, the Chestnut apartment is lump together as a single plot with the vacant land beside it, so I guess the apartment has either been owned by the govt or its lease has expired.

Upper Bt Timah residents, authorities reach compromise over land devt
SINGAPORE: Residents of Dairy Farm, Chestnut and Petir Road have reached an initial compromise with authorities over the development of a parcel of forest land.
The area's MP Dr Vivian Balakrishnan said the consultation process is an example of "the way forward" where "plans are shared in advance, views are heard, constructive suggestions are made, and then incorporated into plans".
Dr Balakrishnan, as well as representatives from the Urban Redevelopment Authority and the Land Transport Authority, met some 200 residents at a dialogue session on Saturday.
The dialogue session was a culmination of four months of intense planning, consultation and meetings. The session lasted for two-and-a-half hours.
The issue for the gathering - the future plans for a 1.86-hectare of forest land between Dairy Farm Estate and Petir Road.
In March, the residents found out that the URA was going to put up the land for sale in June.
Some questioned the need to develop an area that over the years had been reclaimed by nature.
"We have a piece of land that over the last 40 years or so was reclaimed by nature. There are plenty of areas around Singapore that are abandoned industrial estates. I'm asking, why do you have to start the development...that particular plot of land that is fully forested now, instead of taking some of the wasteland that the development and progress has created today," asked a resident.
Others spoke of the need to preserve Singapore's natural areas to leave behind a legacy for future generations.
But instead of merely voicing their grouses, residents presented authorities with a detailed proposal, highlighting what authorities should consider when putting up the land for sale.
Among them - placing restrictions on the height of the development so as to not block the pristine views of the many low-rise housing and reviewing a proposal to extend a road along Jalan Pakis that may cut into a popular canal and jogging trail.
The months of planning and engaging authorities seemed to have paid off.
URA's deputy director of physical planning, Lim Teck Leong, shared one proposal that was incorporated into the plans.
He said: "Storey-height control will be one of the requirements. We intend to cap the storey-height between five to 15 (storeys)."
Authorities added they would also shelve plans to extend the road along Jalan Pakis, for now.
The URA said it would relocate the development of a commercial site from along Dairy Farm Road to Petir Road, after residents said the development would cause heavy congestion.
Dr Balakrishnan said the forest area in question had been part of the government's development plans for decades. He added authorities made sure the plot was not an encroachment of reserve area.
"We make long-term plans, and in Singapore, the PAP's long-term plans are for 50 to 100 years. For decades, we have already convinced ourselves that we would preserve nature reserve. We said we will confine our future development to areas outside the nature reserve," said Dr Balakrishnan.
Still, he assured residents that their views will be heard, and commended them for coming up with solutions.
Dr Balakrishnan said: "People were not just posturing. People were actively looking for solutions, for improvements. You can't get everything that you want, but you can make it better."
Resident Kevin Kho agreed, saying: "This consultative approach, this engagement from the ground is the way forward. We want to be part of our own nation-building."
Dr Balakrishnan said there will be continued engagement with residents.

no lah...not so up there, maybe not directly opp Foresque lah....u watch the video and will know.
If the Mall shift to opposite Foresque, it will make it more convenient, so it would be a positive point, plus the petrol station. In fact this is a more viable location for the mall than the previous option, I guess the road cutting across the canal is the issue, without the road. Without the road, the traffic flow would be a problem, so in forcing URA to realign the roads, Diary Farm loose out on the proximity to the convenience of the Mall......
Seems like Setia is launching the development next door soon, price should match Foresque....

with 2 new institute nearby more bus route will be plan and the mall will be packed with student during day time. the mall is quite small from the map.
dairy farm and petir will hold another 15,000 -20,000 people when fully develops. hope to see a bigger mall with a small bus interchange. at least to transport commuters to hillview MRT.
Hopefully....and hope....a reputable developer get the site. At least build something equivalent to Katong 112, got cinema, nice restaurants, shops, etc. :D

The residents are wary of MM developments that screwed up the landed estates and future congestion and illegal parking. Current owners of TH etc along Petir road might lose their greenery in near future.

The greeneries in front is nothing much but like shrubs anyway... those behind TH/FR/Setia dev are reserves and untouchable...but to Dairy farmers their green buffers will disappear eventually, imagine being dwarfed by 24 story blocks with modern facade.....that's why they are up in arm, ya, congestion and illegal parking would be an issue in their backyard if the Mall is not relocated....but saw quite a few prominent individuals in the dialogue with the MP, guess they do have some clouts.

But then I dun understand why the govt agree to the protest by Dairy Farm residents. It makes more sense to build a mall at Dairy Farm which is nearer Hillview station.

Actually theoretically The Foresque and Treehouse site is even nearer nature reserves...Haha. Anyway, I'm sure residents at Foresque and Treehouse won't mind the added amenities nearby (Just not sure if the shops can "survive" with small catchment there). Dairy Farm and Hillview area already served by Rail Mall, HillV2 (future) and then future MRT shops (I'm sure got retail shops at the station itself). So could be a win-win for all.

If it just mention ceiling ht, meaning the place we stand measure to the ceiling. :)
Yup! But I don't see that nowaways. Normally, it is floor to floor la, meaning the place you stand measure to the floor where your neighbor on top stand. So, if 3.15m, then need to net off the floor layer which is about 30cm. So, effectively, it is just about 2.8 to 2.9m typically for floor to ceiling!:D

Is 30cm floor layer common nowadays? I saw a proj (during construction stage), the layer between 2storeys machiam very thin! Like slightly thicker than a 15cm ruler :mad: Dunno if it's perspective....

I believe 3.15m is nett, flr to ceiling. Floor slab thickness is around 15-20cm, quite common for residential building (HDB and Private).

Upon looking at the diagram again....
CORRECTION: Its illustrated in a diagram showing floor to ceiling 3.15m minus one thickness of floor/ceiling so possibly 2.9-3m nett, .....anyway its definitely not 2.6m as suggested by somebody.

3.15m still flr to ceiling, so minus 4 inches false/ secondary ceiling, it should be 3.05m. U are not wrong actually. :)
Floor slab usually is 1 ft or 0.3m unless now developers also trying to cut cost on floor slab thickness? :simmering:
If floor-to-floor is 3.15m, then floor-to-ceiling should be 2.85m, typical of all new OCR condos now (except CCR condos which may still get 3-3.2m high ceiling depending on particular development, not all).
Floor slab thickness too thin means when upstairs do renovation and hacking of floors etc, you downstairs will feel everything! :doh:

what makes you think the foresque price will go up in 2015? to date only 55% sold from the 492 units. now they offer star price for remaining loose unit. much cheaper from its launch price. me just play along with the waiting game. besides so many new development coming up. some info on singapore population going to increase from previous 6 millions to 8 millions. if this is true then the market is still under supply. but if the plan stay at 6 million then it has already over supplied. still too early to tell.

Works on facilities are on-going. All roof-tops are done, and the vertical green features frames are almost done.

Looking for 2 bedder. I currently stay in bukit panjung, so dont want to move too far away from BP. Furthermore TH going to TOP soon in next year I guess, so i can move in faster.

The price range very wide depending on stack, levels and individual owners asking.
Can be from $950 ~ $1100 psf.

now you know how reflections by the bay got designed. take a straight building and use wide angle lens to distort the images, voila, you get reflections by the bay.

Although wide angle len is used...the condo is really spacious and wide. :)
...by the way, forgot to mention, the cabinets in the rooms are being installed already... in any case, had only my fisheye with me when I happened to pass by, so some images kind of distorted, meant to show the progress rather than the space, though if you happened to know the project, it is indeed quite well spread out unlike many others, and you are guaranteed of an open end on the Zhenghua park-side, the development opens up towards this end so it looks quite open and spacious.
The hilly site next door has been leveled.....its elongated and smacked onto the hill-slope of the neighborhood park, with maybe only a block on the open towards Zhenghua Park-side.....lets see how much they will be launching.

Yes i agreed with you all in some extend.. but somehow the distance between the foreskill and TH is pretty near though..Hopefully the opposite developer will not over shadow TH...:doh:
thanks for sharing the photos!
really nice development, and the environment is great. i think it will be an excellent place to stay and come home to.
excited about sp setia's upcoming launch!

I called sertia sometime ago, they only say its a high rise development.
the rest cannot reveal. I guess is another 24 storey project.
It has the same plot ratio, so should be high-rise definitely, the land area includes the former Chestnut Apartment, was that FH or LH? ..or was it so old that its lease has expired? It looked more like a 30-40 yr apartment.
Anyway, if I were the architect I will probably create a terrace design to orientate towards Zhenghua Park. Build MCP at Petir Rd end, and a apartment block on it to maximize unblock units.
Otherwise, development sandwiched between TH and hill slope......nice buffer for Th against the monkeys that roam the Park.
Setia prices across the causeway is on the higher end....so goes they will be pricing similar or higher than FR.
some info on SP Sertia chestnut project.
The developer also owns a 4.62-acre plot along Chesnut Avenue which it won in a tender bid end last year for S$180 million. Plans for the Chestnut Avenue site are for an eco-themed development comprising an estimated 400 units of 1, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom types with a potential development value of RM1.1 billion.

convert to sing dollars to about $440 million in total, how to workout into $psf of 400 units with 4 types of design. anyone?

.....sounds like not likely to be below 1.1K psf on the average.

..overshadow????? hahaha, tell me how it will overshadow if TH launch price was 800-850psf which is considered EC price in today's standard....if it looks good, it will enhance the area.....but it will never have the spread out spaciousness of TH....too bad you missed the boat.
not to forget those bought during the pre-launch.
HUAT ah!! :D

how you calculate them?
Anyway here are some other distorted pictures I took yesterday, was interrupted by rain so did not have time to plan properly.....
...as you can see, the forested area next to TH is gone:http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8433/7822421776_2f6119905f_o.jpg
The blocks have all reached full height but likely to be dwarfed by Foresque on pillars...

Huh? TH is not anywhere near to compare with Caspian.
Caspian got mrt track and their shenton way. So, cannot compare.
HDB flats near Caspian just lack of swimming pool and fences to achieve the same price as them. Wasted. I should have bought a flat there. :)
Are the site office and tower cranes start taking down? Once these two things are removed from site, its about time liao. ;)

I agreed with you.
how you calculate them?
If you average up the sizes to 1000sqf x 400 units, it should roughly be $440m/400=1.1K, taking into account that 1bedder below 500sqf and 4 bedder 1500sqf and above....

..crane still around, but site office not sure. The cabinets and sliding doors on the upper floor probably still need to be airlifted.

many must have invested in jurong hoping 1 day the place will be enbloc.
i see a very slim chance for lake side and boon lay area. recently boon lay has rebuild some new hdb houses. jurong east old hdb houses near jurong cube will definitley be tear down in a year or two. ivory height has potential but .. may not require this piece of land.
to build another shenton it requires more than 20 years of painstaking hardworks. to see things happen it requires a longer wait.
short term vision who can imagine and will they stick to their plan?
There always benefits which comes with disadvantages. For example, food will become more expensive even in the hawker centre close to JLD. People staying around Nex in Serangoon has already experience that cum traffic problem. It will reach a point where people prefer to stay in a quieter place. Like in Hong Kong, wealthy ones staying in landed or apartments along the mountain slope.

if these 2 happen, woh $2.5k psf.
expressway can be made but need stringent control of pollution near those reservoir. had to pay for using these expressway, should be quite expensive. not a prob if property price up.

That expressway is a must to have to reduce all the jam at PIE. BUT, those rich people won't agree to it, they still want to play golf there.

is it because they're still renovating the showroom? maybe do up then launch again.
they will release the sales of block 103 near TOP. wing tai believes many will grab when the building near completion.
i believe the setia will has a hard time since FR is only 50% SOLD?
....according to URA, almost all the released units were sold, and looking at the various development that has recently TOP, prices tend to be better at TOP, plus the Setia effect is its positive......but who knows, you may get lucky and finally find a unit within your budget.
....was around the area and took some pictures......Setia has cleared an area towards the front of the piece of land, probably building the showlflat there.....
.....seems like the interior of Tree House has some changes, the kitchen wall facing the living/dining is now full glass sliding panels....not a wall with small window-opening.
Will upload photos later when I get to my computer.

Is it the same as the one in the showflat earlier? I remember it was glass panel between the kitchen and the living hall.

Note the brown kitchen base, this is separated from the living room by sliding glass panels, on some floors the glass panels are still in green protective cover.
Likewise the kitchen cabi's doors fare covered in Blue protective sheets.
