How are the sales of this project? Pretty hot, I would think.
No news on this? Very quiet..
visited the sales office couple of weeks ago. Selling well, was told only left few low-floor unit.
half sold already without any marketing done. must be a really hot project. they have sold out all their low floor units since the last time i visited them.
Strange, why low floor are the first to sell out?
I would have thought that, for apartments in the city, high floors would be more in demand (nice views, etc).
Then again, if you are buying solely for investment and renting out, views do not make much of a difference. Or do they?

Additional article for the Clift.
The Clift at McCallum Street is an art-inspired city home. This latest Far East Organization project will showcase vividly the dialogue between art and architecture that will give rise to a unique three-dimensional tactile art form that addresses the clean, functionality of a living residence.
The Clift, standing at 43 storeys, is built for art- and city-lovers. It is located right in the heart of the city with all the conveniences and attractions that this covetous position entails.
Art and architecture in dialogue
Far East Organization is heartened to have played a part in the transformation of Singapore's cityscape with the introduction of innovative development concepts. Icon, Novena Medical Center, and Central broke new ground and captured the imagination of the market with their creative yet functional concepts that added new value to real estate. With The Clift, Far East Organization is adding another dimension to the architectural form, art.
Far East Organization invited Superpotato, an internationally renowned Japanese interior design firm, and DP Architects, one of Singapore most established architecture practices, to collaborate on this iconic project.
The result of the collaboration we hope will be an architectural artwork that will create a new realm of perceptions, as artworks are wont to generate.
In appreciation of The Clift
Conceived for the contemporary dweller, The Clift is designed for those who appreciate the sublime sophistication of design and refined aesthetics.
The urbane eloquence of the building is expressed through its bold faηade treatment of lines, planes and textures that creates a distinct yet contemporary imagery. Articulations of the faηade will be created by the inter-play of various elements of the building. The result is a sculptured massing capped with a light box. The light box provides a strong landmark in the evening skyline and also serves as a concealed roof top service deck.
Clad in an extensive glass faηade which is uncommon in typical residential developments, The Clift compliments its commercial- and office-tower neighbours, without compromising its distinctive identity as a residential home.
Homing in on The Clift
The Clift offers a retreat from the frantic pace of urban activities down on the street level.
An exclusive floor up in the sky on the tenth storey offers a full range of recreational facilities for residents to work out their stress. A 25-metre lap pool and a fully equipped gymnasium ensure a good workout. Hydrotheraphy amenities such as massage jets in the shady lounge pool, spa beds and jacuzzi alcoves within the Aquagym pool and the steam bath will melt away all worries and tension.
The amenities in this sheltered sky terrace are set in a tranquil water court surrounding shaded by verdant trellis.
The serene ambience is carried through to the entertainment areas on the 31st storey. There are alcoves with ensuite plunge pool and jacuzzi and food preparation counters for private parties and barbecue. A clubhouse at the corner of the terrace facing Telok Ayer Street offers a cool indoor space to suit the multifarious needs of the cosmopolitan dweller.
Living choices at The Clift
The cosmopolitan dweller has many layout choices to choose from. The units are ergonomic in design, of clean lines and uncluttered space. There are a few sought after design elements to be found including an open kitchen layout that enables entertaining in a more relaxing atmosphere; floor-to-ceiling windows to maximise views and to ensure that the interiors are bright and airy.
The lofts from the 31st storey onwards are reminiscent of shop-house living with all the modern amenities high in the city. High ceilings in the living space offer unparalleled views of the cityscape. The loft layout ensures a peaceful space that provides an arena for boundless creativity.
At The Clift
The Clift has it all.
It is located in an enviable position, right on the pulse of the city, where tradition and modernity juxtapose harmoniously together, and contemporary trends run side by side with established practices to form different and exhilarating ways of establishing new forms of living, working and playing.
Set away from the busy Cecil Street to the east, The Clift is bounded by McCallum Street to the north and Telok Ayer Street to the west.
In its immediate vicinity are trend-setting bars and cafes, restaurants that cater to all taste buds and preferences, boutique shops, launderettes, and all the other amenities found in the city.
A unique proposition offered by The Clift is history right on its doorstep. Telok Ayer was the area where many of our city's early immigrants first settled. History still stands around the corner. Buildings nearly as old as modern Singapore, Thian Hock Kheng Temple, and Nagore Durga Shrine, still serve their original religious purposes. The tropical shophouses that are unique to this region and once served as homes and work places, have been all spruced up and are alive with new uses.
These conserved shophouses also ensure that the residents of The Clift will have lasting and panoramic views of Raffles Place and beyond. Unobstructed views of Mount Faber, and on clear days, of the distant islands, as well as the cityscape and views of Marina Bay, can be seen from the upper reaches of The Clift.
The Clift - Art of City Living
Far East Organization has responded to the Government's call to rejuvenate the city with its city-living projects: the 646-unit Icon at Tanjong Pagar, and the 227-unit SOHO (Small Office Home Office) component of Central by the Singapore River, and now The Clift.
The resident population of the city will rise from three to seven per cent. This critical mass will enervate the city and create more buzz.
The URA Concept Plan 1991 has laid the groundwork. The cultural district crowned by The Esplanade: Theatres by the Bay has staged the vibe for excitements with operas, plays, international musicals and acts. Local arts groups find homes under the arts housing scheme in Waterloo Street, Robertson Quay, and in the neighbourhood of The Clift, and the Chinatown area.
Last year, 5,700 performance and visual arts exhibitions were held in Singapore. The Esplanade alone hosted 1,900 events and saw seven million visitors.
The Museum precinct is elegantly set out and the doors of the museums are open. Last year a historic three quarter of a million people visited the museums. The National Museum of Singapore has reopened after its $132 million renovation. And museum lovers can also look forward to the conversion of The City Hall and the Supreme Court into a world-class art gallery by 2010.
The beat of the city will increase many folds at The Entertainment District. The neon-lit Bugis-Selegie area will have streets of cinemas, theatres, performance venues, music and dance halls, specialty shopping centres and exciting dining outlets.
The integrated resort and all the attractions of Marina Bay including The Gardens by the Bay, Singapore Flyer - a giant observation wheel, the landmark double helix pedestrian bridge and the Marina Barrage where water-sports events will be held will provide and add further excitement for city dwellers.

actually, you'll notice all the men are angmoh. the only chinese man is the bartender. all the women are either chinese or angmoh.

3) Because the ad agency that Far East commissioned to make this ad are ang moh agency. Ang moh males love being the Tua Kee of the world, only white and Asian women can be their partners, Asian males are only good for servants. Black males are like the antichrist to the Ang Moh male, because all the hot white women love black men.
dont know, but can you tell why the units in prospectus never end up looking like the real thing? Imagine other industries did that. Imagine ordering a Mercedes, only for the interior to end up without seats, steering wheel, and all built of the cheapest plastics. I dont really understand the concept of having to buy a new unit, just to rip out everything and renovate it because the quality is not as advertised. Why cant I just buy a naked flat. Why are showflats and prospectus images not required to be a representation of the finished product as it will be handed over to the buyer, by the developer?Quote:

The Clift unit fetches 36% less just after a year
Bought for $1.65m by the seller, the 19th floor unit is auctioned for $1.047m. By Kalpana Rashiwala
A TWO-BEDROOM apartment on the 19th level of The Clift, at the corner of Telok Ayer and McCallum streets, was sold at a DTZ auction this week for about $1,350 per square foot (psf) - 36 per cent lower than the $2,129 psf the seller is said to have paid for it barely a year ago. The 99-year-leasehold unit was put up for auction by the mortgagee, understood to be Citibank.
Analysts reckon the $1.047 million the 775-sq-ft unit fetched was probably not enough to cover the loan the seller took for the property when he bought it for $1.65 million in the sub-sale market in July 2008.
At Thursday's auction at Amara Hotel, there were initially no takers when the auctioneer called for an opening price of $1.08 million. A lower counter offer was made by a bidder and after close to 20 bids from about five parties, an Indonesian investor walked away with the property.
This was not the first time the 19th floor unit featured at an auction. It was offered in March and April this year, with price expectations of $1.1 to $1.2 million, BT understands.
However, the mortgagee bank's reserve price could not be met then. Market watchers reckon the bank probably cut its reserve price for this week's auction.
Since March, three other units on the 21st and 22nd levels of The Clift, which is still under construction on the former Natwest Centre site, have changed hands at between $1,111 and $1,218 psf, according to caveats information.
The 43-storey tower - with shop units at street level and apartments above - was designed by the renowned Japanese design firm Super Potato.
Two other mortgagee properties also changed hands at DTZ's auction. A couple of adjoining first-storey shop units at Grandlink Square in Guillemard Road each fetched $300,000 or $1,546 psf of strata area. They were sold with vacant possession to a Singaporean investor who already owns units in the freehold development, BT understands.
DTZ managed to find a buyer prior to this week's auction for another mortgagee sale property that was listed for the auction. The 5,188-sq-ft ramp-up factory unit on the second level of Northlink Building in Admiralty Street, Sembawang sold for $520,000. The property is on a site with a remaining lease of about 50 years.

With the recent hot hot sales of Marina Bay Suites at 2400psf, do you guys think the upside for The Clift (currently at 1500 psf) is fairly optimistic?
A flip of $500psf can make a decent profit of $400-500K :cool:
the clift should be compared with the prices of lumiere and icon - it's not marina bay
Depends. If Marina bay prices go beyond normal investors (eg: more than 4k psf), then maybe people will go for Clift.

well if u think so, and you like the clift then buy lah. no one will have done as much reaearch as the person interested in a project, so you'll already have doe your assessment
The view and location. Cliff got no view, no garden, no shopping centre, nothing. And Sail location is far superior. I can't think of many developments that boost 2 MRTs station at your doorstep. Walking more than 10 mins is considered far already. It makes a difference when you walk everyday.
It is just too bad, I didn't get one unit there. IMO, it is still cheap considering the location. Went to view a condo near newton/novena. Cannot remember which one already. The one with the transparent sky gym. Near orchard but location still not very ideal. I was quite disgusted by the pricing of the studio. 2.2 to 2.3k psf. I rather get Sail/MBR anytime.

The Clift should follow suit and that's when we start to profit take. At the last transacted psf of $1420 for a 2 bedder, I personally see a lot more upside than downside risk. :cool:
Probly targeting to exit at 1800 or 1900psf will be very sweet profit of $300K+. :2cents:
If for own stay, certainly should look elsewhere. If for invest / rent, The Clift is definitely one gd choice.Quote:
