Not MMs. Even the smallest 2 bedder which is around 950 sq ft seems "large" by today's standard. Looks like Far East just refuse to downsize. I actually think small units or 1-bedder in Hillview (which is non-existent today) can move. Fairly good size units at 1300psf? You really must give it to Far East to launch standard size units at record prices at today's market.

Is it worth to get this lanai?

Or I shld take a look at the other developments along the street like hillview residence, hillview 128, montrosa and merawoods?

Whats all your take?

If really $1300 psf, not worth it, no matter what fittings they put in.

If you buy nearby at $700 psf, you have alot of money to left over to buy whatever fittings you want!

I browse through propertyguru, and I somehow feel the current psf they are asking ranges from 770-850psf along this hillview avenue. I am also wondering if this is even a good period to get one? Anyone been to this showflat? Alot of crowd?

oh?! the showflat is not ready yet? I read in propertyguru that agents are inviting.....as for the price psf, I went to streetsine.com and check the past proceeding, all costing around 750-800+ psf along the street, notably the merawoods.

Btw, I aim merawoods long time ago. Comparing merawoods to lanai, which one is better since they r very extreme - one near the main road, one is edged to the corner of forestation.

Merawoods is 999 yrs. Can park 2 cars, second one ?pay $50 per mth? Very big development, got plus and minus points on this. A lot of activities planned by MC for festivals. High up on hill and hence, air is better, can see forest mist when it rains if face greenery.

yah, I also feel merawoods is bigger than montrosa, hillview residence and run down hillview 128. I am also looking at glendale park and hillington green for they are very near to the future MRT too.

I have only 1 car, so carpark crunch will not impact me though. Bsed on ur opinion, there are many choices.

What do u think of other developments along the belt, such as hillview green, hillbrooks, glendale park and hillington green.

Which one is a good buy? For personal stay and stay vested.

What is a good buy? Good question...how to answer? Too many variables to consider...

But I dun like Hillview 128 even tho FH, small units, small pool, right next to factory.
Hillington Green can park one car only, out for me.
Hillbrooks...some face factory, I saw one grd floor one with large PES(330 sq ft or so) and tiny rooms(put bed and walk around it)...
If want MRT, Glendale Park is the one to aim for, Hillview Heights is next door, but much older, pool is very, very old school in Hillview Heights.

Wow, you sound as though this development is a jinx. Btw, among all precious gems lying around hillview area. I still feel something for merawoods and glendale park. With Lanai upcoming, I wonder if it wld push the price up further for these developments, I am still saving for my 1st home...

No lah, not the development. Around 1999-2001, banks took back and auction a lot of properties.

Lanai will have an effect...likely push asking prices higher.

Actually I like the "layered" structure of the Hillview condos. Because of the topography, it creates "challenges" for the architect, and most plots are layered which gives it some depth compared to totally flat land. Glendale Park that u named below for example - has 3 -4 layers right with a steep slope at the side? Of course there will be some steps leading to the next "layer" but it makes a development more interesting to explore with different topography and some pockets of undulating land and waterfalls falling to the next "layer". Even some of the condos like Parc Palais has swimming pool on the second floor of the fronting units and not the first.

FEO is really "brave" to launch The Lanai (weird name) generous size units at such prices in today's market. Scala sold well because it was (i) before cooling measures (ii) very very small midget units. Maybe this will suffer the same fate as "The Sound". kekeke... but u never know lah. When Hillvista was sold at >$1000psf, everyone laugh. Now also almost 100% sold right?

I tot someone mentioned there are a few units left? U can still grab it if you want. I doubt the price will spike that much for places like hillview128, montrosa, hillview residence and merawoods. As for glendale it has many reasons to go at high price....again I really dun see any selling point for lanai.

Separately, another 20 units at the Esparina Residences EC were sold over the weekend, while another EC project in Yishun, The Canopy was launched for sale at the same time, with an average price of approximately $650 psf.

The most "hush-hush" preview ever - no SMS no invitations whatsoever. I wonder how much "discount" this bulk buyer manage to negotiate?

So for those who think that developers will sell cheap if they get their land cheap - think again. Far East acquired the land at $371psfppr and now selling at $1,300psf. I wonder if Lam Soon warehouse nearby will sell that plot of FH land in Hillview? It should be quite "valuable".

====
FAR East Organization is said to have sold 76 units at The Lanai, a 999-year leasehold condo in the Hillview area, at a preview that started last Saturday. The units sold include a bulk deal.

Prices at the 10-storey project start at $1,290 psf. The bulk purchaser would probably have obtained a discount.

The development comprises 214 units in six towers. Apartments include a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedders. Sizes start from 947 sq ft for a two-bedder.

For the weekend preview, the property giant released three towers totalling 110 units. The official launch, marked by the start of an advertising campaign, is expected next weekend.

Far East is developing the project on a 123,494 sq ft site at Hillview Avenue which it bought from a unit of Cerebos Pacific back in 1996 for $88 million. The land price at the time worked out to about $371 per sq ft per plot ratio, based on media reports back then. Cerebos previously used the site for manufacturing.

In the Sengkang area, Frasers Centrepoint has sold another 20 units at Esparina Residences executive condo (EC) during the weekend, taking total sales to 364 units. Sales began last Friday. The average selling price is $740 psf. Esparina comprises 573 units.

Another EC project, The Canopy in Yishun, goes on sale this weekend. The average price is expected to be about $650 psf. ECs are a hybrid of public and private housing.

FEO got big, big family, and loads of "connected" people, if own people buy up, the number of units sold will look very nice indeed.

In some ways, Glendale is better. Communal space large. Walk to MRT soon.

Petals gotta contend with heavy, heavy traffic at the doorstep during rush hr in the morning.

Are you the bulk purchaser? :)

Now still early bird period? Maybe I should kpo to go see look.. Can share how much discount? 20%? 30%? kekeke....

Why didn't u consider Hillvista - immediate occupation and superb views.

I bought at 1310psf. Was given 15% + 2% furniture voucher. Regarding Hillvista, its fully sold la. Anyway, Hillvista finishes and amenities are nowhere near Lanai. You see and saliva drip. See for yourself and you will know why I bought.

Far east now super smart....they still got remaining 28 units of Mi Casa unsold and they shifted the Mi Casa Model to Lanai showflat...

if buyers find Lanai prices too steep....i am sure they will readily push them to Mi Casa....one 1300psf and the other 8xxpsf....

I been to Lanai showflat, very impressive furnishing....layout is very efficient as usual. suddenly i feels far east projects very spacious as compared to other new launches like Scala, NV and even minton...

fully equipped kitchen (agt keep stressing developer throw in 45k for the appliances)

90X90 marble flooring:D

not much views though....

smallest 2bedder from 1.3xmio:scared-4: (13xxpsf after less)

strange thing is: model not ready yet and yet can still sell 7x units oredi at record breaking price in tat area:scared-5:

btw, congrats on ur purchase:cheers1:

Not officially "launched" yet right? I notice 3 showflats in the area. The Lanai, Suncottages and Mi Casa. Very clever lah - if you got higher budget, they direct you to Suncottages landed property. If got lower budget, they direct you to Mi Casa :))) So you're enveloped left right center. Looks like Hillview not going down the small units route like many CCR and RCR areas? Could be a good thing - every locality needs to have a niche :) - large and spacious near parks and nature is quite a unique selling point.

FEO did that for Cyan and in the process of doing the same for Altez simply because the bigger units are located on top of the smaller units which are lower floors. another smart strategy by far east.

May not be smart strategy. I'm sure had FEO gone down the "small units to squeeze PSF" route, they would have achieved even higher PSF and much better sales performance. Look at the recent launches at Orchard like Suites@Orchard- very small units and selling like hot cakes. Singaporean's budget is limited - those who die die must stay Orchard just "settle" for tiny units that is within one-bamboo length from your neighbouring condo. The total absolute quantum at Lanai is way higher than Suites@Orchard MM - a person who wants to be "perceived" as "successful" will probably laugh at any "moron" who bought Lanai at such a high quantum without getting much prestige. Presumably a person who stays in Orchard will always be seen as more "successful" in our status-conscious society - regardless of the size of the unit. Such "niche" development with spacious units like The Lanai will probably appeal to to a very niche crowd which means it will take a long time to sell out. In short, may not be the best selling strategy from a profitability and cash flow perspective. Anyway, I think maybe it is not in FEO DNA to sell MMs lah.

I just visited Lanai showflat yesterday. I quite like the Hawaiian theme.. Seems like a resort rather than a condo..

The psf is higher compared to the surrounding developments, but come to think of it, i don't think a brand new project in any location, will be released at the pricing of older developments.. Then who will still buy the old developments, and most probably all the new units will be snapped up even b4 any official launch.

As my parents r stayin ard this area, me n my wife now lookin around at new projects around hillview, upper bukit timah or bukit batok areas. Anyone has recommendations? Thanks..

And those railway track land.... But dunno when lah. But those will be 99LH lor. In short, confirm NO MORE freehold in Hillview - The Lanai shall be last 999LH plot. I suspect enbloc may start. Interestingly, some of the landed housing there are seeking enbloc because apparently, the land there is not designated for landed and can build apartments and condos. So the landed there definitely has upside potential.

U mean the MRT construction along Upper Bukit Timah and Bukit Timah? Bo bian lah - if want MRT then just have to live with the construction and "mess". I thought the disruption was acceptable other than the King Albert Park portion (very messy), because no lanes were taken out - just the road become super winding machiam F1 track. But Hillview Ave is still relatively quiet. The railway track turns out to be a blessing in disguise as it becomes a green lung separating and shielding Hillview from the busy Upper Bukit Timah.

4000psf LH orchard vs 600psf in Woodlands.

One can refer to the median rental rates in URA. Look at all the median rental rates and pick the max/min.

I will round down the min and round up the max. It works out to $2 psf (min) - $7 psf (max).

If you are looking at rental rates for investment, it would make sense to compare the ratio of the rental rates over the ratio of the capital investment of popular investments (rated as more than 10 rental transactions in a quarter).

Wild Falcon
24-10-10, 16:17
IMHO, FEO quality is excellent - just ignore those auntie uncle from the older generation who always talk bad about FEO quality. U can go see some their newly completed condos to have a feel of the quality. Even some of their "older" mass-market condos like Lakeshore or even their EC at Woodlands Casa something have better finishing than some high-end condos. Also, ceiling height (very very important!) seems more generous as well. A lot of FEO completed condos have 3 meters ceilings - which is a rarity say at CDL/Keppel developments with ceilings of 2.4m (this this horrible and make the entire unit appear very cheap and cramped). It short, FEO doesn't cut corners on ceiling heights etc. - ceiling height is the easiest corner to cut and buyers will not have no recourse against developer.

I only comment on general quality of the finishings. But not on whether Lanai or Hillvista present good value. Value is in the eye of the beholder.

BTW, I heard Lanai does not take up the entire plot and FEO still has other freehold plots in Hillview. So, Lanai may not be the last 999LH/FH development in Hillview which I mention earlier.

This project is not worth, I'm 100% certain. I will prefer to wait for next year's new projects which will cost me anywhere in the region of $650-800psf only.

If really like hillview area, buy either hillview heights, hillview green or Glendale. These are alot better and cheaper and well worth the money. Any downturn will allow me more cash as safety net. Buying Lanai at $1100+psf, I will have a hard time selling at $1400psf.

Look at Lanai's advert, it mentioned it is near Jurong Lake dev. Lanai obviously has no potential and used JL as a marketing too. Not ethical, gives people wrong information.

Wild Falcon
12-12-10, 15:40
I think Lanai is more like $1350psf, not $1100psf. The smallest 2 bedder at 950 sq ft will be more than $1.3 million. This is almost the same absolute price tag as d'Leedon (d'Leedon's 2 bedder is following the small-format 700+ sq ft trend). So with such high absolute price tag and that Far East refuse to "stoop down" to small-format units in Hillview area like d'Leedon, I would think it'd be difficult to move units. Having said that, 2 blocks were sold out and only one block was available for sale when i was there (I believe altogether 5 blocks? cannot remember). Even then, about 50% of that block is already sold...

Lanai is not at the "upper" part of Hillview. So one has to think twice to pay so much for that. The GLS plot opposite Glendale Park (albeit 99LH) sure looks more promising.

Wild Falcon
12-12-10, 16:03

If really like hillview area, buy either hillview heights, hillview green or Glendale. These are alot better and cheaper and well worth the money. Any downturn will allow me more cash as safety net. Buying Lanai at $1100+psf, I will have a hard time selling at $1400psf.

Look at Lanai's advert, it mentioned it is near Jurong Lake dev. Lanai obviously has no potential and used JL as a marketing too. Not ethical, gives people wrong information.

WOW....$650-800psf really? Developers are doing charity work next year onward? ...even cheaper than EC? Can't wait.....maybe should start camping there for a queue ticket...

the rest in the vicinity are not cheap in that area, just that this is ridiculously high. but what to do, ppl still buy which means, there is a market in my opinion....look at The Petals much in front nearer to bukit batok, they are selling less than 1K psf Freehold some more, in some cases more than 40% cheaper....so, sometimes you cannot use logic to explain. this is what I have learnt in this forum.....:)

Freehold properties near hillview mrt are valuable.... because the value is the same after 20 years, .. While 99 years condo after 20 years will feel the stress of depreciating, like a car.... especially now where freehold is scarce ....

Freehold or leasehold is out of question here. I am just comparing the two developments and their pricing. In my opinion given a choice, I will not choose hillview area. Too slow for capital appriciation and given mrt is slmost everywhere by the time thry have their mrt...just my opinion.
