hahahaha the guard also probably don't know whether it's full or not but high chance they will park at the residents'. Later the residents of the landed property will complain! Some condos do not allow visitors to park overnight in the premises.
imagine first one month where all the house warming is happening...wooo...

Anyone know whether the rubbish chute is inside the house or a centralised one at the corridor ?
Anyone know whether the rubbish chute is inside the house or a centralised one at the corridor ?
Have no idea and am curious to know too. My guess is a centralised one, perhaps next to the lift. Where's the main rubbish collection point for the whole estate?

that's my question too.
main rubbish collection point is located beside (or on the ground floor of) car park, as told by my agent.

True not much gain actually... anyway i dont expect any upside looking at the pricing of neighbouring projects like Starview etc

It's a sale within 5 years, wouldn't the additional taxes wipe out the profits?

Balcony looked smaller than it was shown in the floor plan.
Mind is Blk 38, until now still ground floor.
I only paid 20% out of 100% + stamp duty.
So far developer not ask for any more payment.:scared-5:
I guess my block will be the last to receive the key when it TOP end of 2013 :banghead:
You all paid up to how many % so far? :beats-me-man:

The entire project should TOP together. I started paying for mine (blk 36) in this month. 10% for the completion work on foundation
I tend to agree that the flat looks smaller. Looks very cramped.

Yours also BLK 38? :scared-4:
Means you paid so far, 20% + 10% + 10% = 40% now?
I have been informed today by lawyer that the developer has requested 10% for the 'Foundation Work' completion of Blk 38 on 8 August 2012 which is due on 22 August 2012. :eek:
I tend to agree that the flat looks smaller. Looks very cramped.
eh yeah man... how come the balcony look so small suddenly. I thought our development was already one of the bigger ones... there goes any outdoor furnishing!

I had bought a unit there too. Mine is Blk 40. The balcony looks real small, I think the showflat and the plan are all misleading. Can I also check how much is the maintenance fee per mth.

It's probably not drawn to scale. Showflat was a 3 & 4 BR right? No news on the maintenance fee yet but was quoted approx $280 for a 2BR.

I doubt car park lots are allocated. It's usually first come first serve basis. Vacanza has both basement and multi story car parks and most blocks has lifts within the block that serves from basement to the higher levels.
Akira Fudou
22-08-12, 16:29
Yup and i dont think the basement carpark has enough slots to even cater to the front blocks. Based on the pic provided by our dear bro vamtoppy, i can see that distance from PIE is quite accurate based on the area plan. hopefully they plant enough trees to cover up the area to minimize dust from expressway.
passed by yesterday, looks like everything look faster.
bank have paid another 10% requested from developer
so now it already 40% paid
20% deposit
10% - foundation
10% - framework completed
anyone the same?
anyway this is for block 50
Me too, I have a unit in blk 50, paid 40% so far.

Try going to a hdb block void deck eg blk 603 nearby to gauge the noise for yourself. Make sure it's roughly same distance between block and PIE.

Hi I would like to share this. Recently, I went to a friend's house. He is staying at UBI area on 10th floor. His block is next to PIE and his living room is facing PIE directly (corner unit). It is really very noisy when I stand at the void deck. But when I enter his house(the windows at the living room are closed), the noise dropped very significantly (acceptable level). It is very hard to measure noise. What might be acceptable to me may not be acceptable to some. But this is just for sharing. I am also concern about the noise cos I brought a 2+1:doh: .

My brother had a unit on 6th floor in Aljunied facing PIE. In his living room with window and door opened. the noise was incredible. Seriously it was defending!!! You can shut down the noise to a certain degree by closing the window and door,, if you can bear with poor ventilation as a result. Still you can feel the muted thundering right outside.

I should think it can be quite deafening with windows and door open.

Hi, which block did u buy?
Hi Meow Lan, your concern is also my concern. Living next to PIE is noisy and that is why we paid a lower price for our unit. I dun know about your psf but my psf was less than 1000. As for the noise, I plan to insulate the noise with plants and greenery to create a 'green' wall. Of course the noise still is loud and that's why you got to work with your ID to create credible insulations near your windows. In this way, when you have friends over, they will focus on your nice ID with muted PIE noise. For example, if I host an event on my balcony, I would blast music and surround the guest with melodies, serenade them with drinks and BBQ and watch the sunset over the twilight sky together. Then I shall say to them "do you still hear the PIE noise?". :cheers5:

You r right. I too r worried about the noise. Previously I was living in a unit facing the PIE and it was noisy. This time, I tried to avoid but could not find one facing the landed. Those left were either too low or penhouse which is too costly to me. Nevertheless, the block that I bought is quite far away from the PIE as compared to my previous one, and I hope the noise is not as loud. Anyway, I keep my finger crossed. FYI, when u are selling units facing the PIE, the noise is the main topic the buyers will be talking about and prices will definitely be affected loh:(
If you expect a high selling price like 1300psf upon TOP, you can forget it as the main upside killer is not the PIE noise but there are limited amenities around Vacanza. When faced with a typical buyer, I would focus on the positive points like freehold (big plus point), quiet neighbourhood and hopefully nice ID.

When you try to sell next time, you will feel the pain. Buyers are so picky these days!
Vacanza investors, strap in for a longer run. Recommend rent out if not staying.
Stayers, congrats you bought a FH property at low psf. Enjoy the new facilities and fresh air on top of hill.
Landlords, good luck in finding expats who dun mind 30 mins of driving to work. Otherwise convert to stayers category.
PIE facing units owners, remember a good ID can help you to fetch a realistic selling price.
Anybody heard of a successful subsale?

Jellybean, how far is the block from PIE? From picture it looks quite a distance.
http://www.h88.com.sg/images/content/2010-09-28/vacanza_night.jpg
JB, have you found a buyer? :beats-me-man:
This is my assumption:
Step 1 : Get deposit of 1% from subsale buyer.
Step 2: Inform your lawyer that you found a buyer and let them advise you further. Buyer signs on sales agreement. Lawyer to inform ASSD to pay, inform govt. bodies URA. Roughly three weeks.
Step 3: Acknowledge letter from govt. bodies after deduction of monies.
Step 4: Check your bank account that full settlement came in.
Please correct me if I mix up the steps. I have not sold property before.
Hi Draven, may I know what's the procedure of subsale? Thanks
Seriously guys, do you even trust the picture??:scared-5:
I drive past Vacanza daily and my unit looks near to PIE. I think i can see car plate numbers in the future.:doh:

I think for some blocks at Vacanza, it's nearer to PIE compare to the HDB blocks accross the road cos' there is a jogging path in between the HDB and PIE. I think a better gauge would be using the condos like Starville which is next to Vacanza to gauge. If you are driving, slow down when exiting Ubi/Eunos, will get a better idea. :)

The BBQ pit only get to be used may be once or twice a week (or lesser?), usually for a few hours only. Unlike traffic noise which is 24/7.
Went to the showflat 3x and wanted to buy 3 bedrooms last Dec. Changed my mind and switch to 2 bedrooms. Then changed my mind again not to buy although I like this project. My spouse and I went there day and night to listen to the highway traffic. I am ok but my spouse cannot tolerate.
I bought this area bcos my mum live nearby. So.. Hope for the best!

Actually one can "test run" the sound level by going to one of the the nearby HDB block (Bedok Reservoir , Bedok North etc) that is facing the PIE. Most of those flats are placed around the same distance to PIE as Vacanza.

Ya, that's where I took the photos from. :D
From the picture, I think this is around 50M max. Like Seafront @ Meyer, I estimated is about 30m to the ECP.
It is not only the noisy kills, but also the dust. Even u close the door and windows everyday, somehow, it is still very dusty.
http://www.ura.gov.sg/circulars/text/dchbr/generalconsideration-dchbr.pdf
For expressways (Category 1 roads), there is a minimum road buffer of 30m for residential developments (6 storeys and above) and 24m for residential developments (up to 5 storeys).

It doesnt look as near to the PIE as the other neighbouring projects!
it is very close to PIE. u need to view it from PIE perspective.
Akira Fudou
03-11-12, 20:53
What close? It is basically next to PIE. It is a few more metre inwards as compare to the rest of the project on the same stretch... dont think it made a great difference though
Just popped by last saturday and saw some boxes in some units already. Looks like furnitures are starting to go in! Walls are mostly painted too.
Does anyone remember the bedroom walls to be pink in colour? Or perhaps that's just the base paint.
I think developers paint buyers flats in white only. Hard to predict end buyer taste. Bedroom walls are brown or biege colors. A brother in this forum has created a photo archive. Please search the threads.
Maybe they are converting single unsold unit into a show flat??

No more unsold units... now all subsale already.
Really... go take a look. the facade is brown and the room looks pink. lol. I took some photos but have problems uploading them.
Just paid 5%+5% for brick wall and ceiling for block 40 low floor.
Hi Astreal, I have not taken a hard look from a stationary point yet but I believe you and the other forummers.
Yes I saw brown painted on pie facing stacks. Wonder why pink but not red, blue or green? :doh:
Also happy to note all fully sold and prices should head north. :cheers5:

Hey Draven, the ones I saw with pink walls are those facing the landed housing. Looks like all the same! Lol. We'd all prob paint over it anyway so no biggie. Just thought it's usually white. Heh

should be just the base colour i guess
My wife is elated about pink which is her favourite color. Guess I can save money on painting. :2cents:

Hahhaa better go see if it's the right shade of pink first! but if that's base colour then we would need another layer right? unless you planning to do wallpaper.
TOP is almost there! the wiring for lights seems to be done and furnitures are starting to move in. I'm as elated as your wife! ;)
When is the TOP? I thought is around the 1st quarter of 2014.
This project is right beside a express way right? Then going to feel like living on the road.

We can talk about the noise issue untill the cow comes home. Its a fact that the buyer considered when making the purchase.
Singapore so small and everywhere U go u see roads and packed housing. Sound might be a problem but construction desgin had been improving over times where certain grading for window frame is use so that it seal off the noise from the outside too and BCA requirement that sound had to kept below 70-80 dB when the developer construct the project. :character0029:
I think if you feel that sound is a problem, next moment U will compaint that block to block too near or too greeny/jungle raining days insects would fly in and etc....... :millie:

Obviously u never been to a building situated beside a highway before ESP on a rainy day. Yes, shut the windows and pull curtains ya. Definately helps.
I'm not saying this development sucks but if anyone unit is facing the PIE, good luck then... And this applies to other condos situated along expressways!

I agree, the project is worthwhile for a freehold in this district. I see similiar prices for similiar leasehold projects.

For projects along the expressways, MRT, noisy industrial areas, buyers are all compensated by pricing. Some people probably don't mind coz the "noise" turns into a "norm" after while. Some people dont like their homes to be so quiet till they can hear a pin drop. It's really a personal choice.
Point is, if you'd to compare this project with others by the expressway, are u getting a good deal out of it? That's the real question.

We cannot guess or assume whether is a good deal or not. The best indication is probably the market value/valuation of each project. Every project along the expressway has different market value. Location (to amenities,mrt, beach etc) being the top factor always. Let's not go into cov becoz some people just want to stay in the certain area and willing to pay a premium on it. I hope u will find such a buyer in future.
For me, I definately cannot tahan constant zooming noise. Anyway my initial comment is just to share that the roads will be noisier on rainy days and have no intention to purposely post a negative comment of any project. Cheers!
For this project, the better choice units are the 1s facing inwards towards the landed properties which is away from the PIE noise....
Just for info, all the projects along the ECP are all commanding premium prices. Eg: silversea, seafront, cote d azur......

I just feel that there's nothing wrong with that. I've seen pie facing projects, like what fiat mentioned, going for higher psf, but yes, other factors will also play a part in the valuation too. Some people like pool facing units, they pay a higher price for a better view, while some would feel that it's too noisy for them and don't see the logic to pay more for more noise. Same logic applies, it's a personal preference. Who knows, maybe by TOP the units next to pie can command a higher profit margin coz they invested lesser at launch date! For the record, I didn't purchase a unit that faces the pie =).
Properties right next to the MRT track also started selling at very low psf but somehow the prices managed to leap almost 50% before TOP. It's crazy and totally unpredictable. Anyway, this is a forum and we are all free to post our own comments so no worries! :)

Beside the cheap price, the surrounding is also one of my consideration. Love the landed area, seems to me that air is fresher than those surrounded by high rise buildings (hdbs, condo etc). I feel really good everytime i go to check on the development.

mid 2014 more likely
Mid 2013 will 100% be impossible. They not yet finish with the wall tiles or ceiling or internal yet.
I estimate TOP to be somewhere before the end of year 2013 and we can move in before Chinese New Year 2014! :p
Bought unit on block 38 and today received lawyer's letter to pay 10% within 14 calendar days. :47:

Mind also Block 38.
May i know the 10% that you have to pay is for which installment part?
1) Foundation Work (10%) or
2) Reinforced Concrete Framework (10%) or
3) Brick Walls (5%) + Ceiling (5%)?
Mr Chao Ren,
If I tell you the answer you would guess my unit too easily. Therefore I reserve my right to keep silence. Definitively not all three. Wink wink.

I notice they were putting up the tennis court fence yesterday and could see block 46 aircon units already installed inside the units. The light wires were also already hanging, from what I can see in the lower floors anyway. blk 46 and the tennis court/carpark is practically side by side
Let's take turns to capture shots monthly.
Best shooting angles from Blk 605 or Blk 611 Bedok Reservoir Road.

Previously,I did to consider on this project but dropped the idea cos is next to PIE and quite further in from mrt station.worry if wanna sell will hard to let go then decided vested somewhere else.
Hi Invest, totally agree that this dev is not for investment. Prepared to stay for five years after TOP and plan to shift nearer to child's primary school.
Let value add by naming a few of the positive points of this development:-
Indented bus shuttle to MRT for first 12-18 months.
Near to quiet landed houses; a sense of exclusiveness.
Mini mart and clinic nearby the public housing area.
Freehold and low psf offered to early birds.
A green and serene playground just outside establishment.
May benefit from future condominium developments nearby.
Vacanza owners, please feel free to add on to this list.
A post lunch casual chit chat :eating-burger:

Sold by developer at lower prices or because of SSD?
Sorry. I had put the file back.
I am not sure. I am sure that vacanza sold out by Nov. and so not sold by developer. Lower price may be due to ssd. :o

So this project already sold out? Congrats! :cheers5:
I think ssd will not be reflected in caveat, so sold by owner he may incur some losses due to that.
Or maybe bought during early launch at lower psf, so just break even? :beats-me-man:
It could be declare selling price lower and so next buyer pays less ABSD. Then under table top up the difference. Ingenious idea which may be recommended by housing agents.
May be the case first buyer need to cash out and sells hastily.

I believe end of 2013 is highly possible. I see boxes of furniture in each unit of block 40 already. I think those in block 42, 46, 48 & 50 will get their keys first. those seem to be all painted and ready before the other blocks.
Thanks Astreal for the update.
As usual, always drive carefully on the PIE when looking at Vacanza. A friendly reminder from the traffic police. :p

Didn't view it from the pie, i saw it from the main gate. =)
btw, the orginally "pink" walls, are now covered in white. so it was the base paint after all.

Good question
Rental for two bedder should get 4000 for a condo near to MRT. For VE, slight discount for being 1km away for MRT. say 3,500. THis is my humble opinion only. please dun fire me. thanks you.

The developer made all the units in such a way that your bedroom and living rooms all either face the pool, the pie or the landed property. stack 29, 30, 39 & 40 all have pool view.
Perhaps they termed it "#B1" coz that side of the land is on lower ground - doesn't mean that it's literally underground - that's my guess. I recall that the area is on a slope-like piece of land.
Dear all,
If you have difficulties in getting a bank loan that is not SIBOR linked, I can help to introduce a banker that will offer a bank loan at SIBOR + X rate.
Please private message me or email me at

Thanks and Regard

the more i look at it, the more i think that the design looked outdated... dont like the bar separating the glass panel of the balcony.

I agreed, kind of disappointed:(
the design not impressive and out dated. My friend said look like DBSS sigh:(

I think not so bad lah. Look at Siglap V and Kembangan Suites, they look like shop houses than condo, don't u think so?

Hi Jellybean, my advice is just focus on the good qualities of Vacanza rather than what you have stated below. after all, every location got good and bad. in the end, vacanza is our home and let us make it best place for our family.
This week, i was overseas and when i drove past vacanza today, not much development to my block 48. Where is my living room balacony door? need to cover up so that rain wont splash into my living room! :doh:

I have seen DBS at Simei side built by sim Lian. VE is way way better designed than DBSS. Yesterday wifey and I window shopped for balcony swing, suntan :smiling-jap: :smiling-jap: deck and a small dining table. Woo hoo looking forward to new for at VE. :D

1) Booking fee + Signing Purchase Agreement Completion: 20%
2) Completion of foundation work: 10% on 21 August 2012
3) Completion of reinforced concrete framework: 10% on 18 October 2012
4) Completion of partition walls & ceiling: 10% on 19 March 2013
5) Completion of door/window frames, electrical wiring, internal plastering and plumbing: 5% Not yet

Thanks very much.

Blk 38 is the nearest to the entrance, so it should be the last one to complete, especially the lower floors.
According to progress, Blk 42 &46 are fastest, next are 48 &50 -> 40 -> 36 ->38.
construction should be from inner blks to outer blks.
Thanks all.
last weekend I received the letter from lawyer, the bank will charge another 10% from mid of this month.
However I don't understand why the blk near the entrance will be the last one, is that for all condos ?

How I wish there is a backgate facing PIE to be added.
This will be good if pavement is added to the path towards the overhead bridge across PIE.
This path can then allow those staying at VE to walk to the upcoming Bedok North station and the market at Blk 630 at Bedok Reservior.

If there is a side gate then the distance to MRT is about 700m, shortest among the 3 MRT stations nearby when the line is ready.
Don't think it is allowed but I might be wrong. Wouldn't it pose a safety risk for both pedestrians and drivers with many people walking near the side of PIE?
VE progressing well and should top soon, congrats to all owners. :)

Very good idea!! But how to make this come true?

There is a pave way beside AMD, going to the overhead bridge. and there is a gate for the industrial area. why V cannot have one?

bring it up when the new committee is formed? alternatively write in to hoi hup?

Actually I visited the place from the bridge at the industrial park, we can actually walk the other direction - along the pie pathment but not towards VE.
Hence, I think it is viable.
To materialize it, any idea who we should write to? N parks or ura for pathments?
The MC must also agree to add a back gate!
The other option is to request another bridge to be added behind vacanza but this need more gov support.
The value of VE will be enhanced and at least residence have a nearby market n food centre to go to..
Anyone volunteer to help?

Suggest you guys take a walk to survey the area and have photos ready and make sure proposal is right. Then coordinate with developer and go see the PAP MP during MPS, you know GE2016 coming tsk tsk... If you take the park connector the walk to future MRT is around 720m from side gate, if you bash through HDB flats maybe 655m. Not bad at all!
I heard rumors there is a plan to construct an overhead bridge just outside Vacanza, have anyone heard of this?

i didn't hear of that. if not many ppl heard of it, it's not a rumor.:tsk-tsk:
it will be too close to the existing one outside indutrial area.

i may take a survey & take some photos, but must be after e damn haze.:doh:
There is a pave way beside AMD, going to the overhead bridge. and there is a gate for the industrial area. why V cannot have one?May I humbly suggest you write in to the developer to firstly approve the side gate, then follow up with relevant authorities on possible link up of the pave way from AMD.
Another option which I feel is easier and also safer, would be to have a overhead bridge just directly across from VE. Shorter route to the 630 market and just cut thru the hdb blocks to Mrt.
Good luck! :)

I agree with the overhead bridge as a better option which I recommended in my initial post.
However, we need to a stronger authority support.
This option is also viable. If you look at the stretch between bedok north and bedok town park along pie, there are 4 overhead bridges while our side has only 2bridges.
The distance of the 2 stretches are about the same.

GSLJ is right. should appeal to the dev first. I last checked they were building the driveway so would be easier to build a gate before all the walls are up.

Hi Chaoren, when are you planning to email them? Reckon we should email the developer first before they start fencing up the area.
