Saw the signboard the other day. Anyone knows if the showflat is still open? For own stay + 3 bedders, what would be a good price given it is a leasehold?
And I don't think there will be any view with all the condos around it! Am I right?

the stacks facing Keng Lee road should get some decent views for the high floors. to the right of rochelle is a low rise clubhse, in front is the mid rise makeway apmt. so, you can still get good views from 10th flr above. stacks facing pool will not get views since it faces amarylisville.
rochelle sounds like a char boh name!
who is the developer? where exactly is it? is it next to MIRO by Far East?

If still selling at $1000 psf, it is a very good buy now. Just compare with Centro, AS & Silversea. You will see the difference. Lower price at a much better prime location.Quote:

Seems that ~90units out of 130 units at Rochelle have been sold. mainly larger units (3+1 & 4 bdrms) available now. Prices have indeed gone up to $1200+ psf. Seems to be selling steadily - not too slow but also not like balloting situation for Optima.
Gone to see Centro over the wkend - show units appear to be a bit cramped. Very convenient - opp MRT & next to hub. but still think $1100+ is a bit of a stretch for this location. also surrounded by HDB high rises.
TOP in 1Q2012
immediate rental potential
Attractive pricing in D11 $1450psf

How about compare to that Bedok Residences @$1350 psf? Oh my god! Don't know why would anybody buy that location at $1350 psf but spurn $1400 psf in Newton! :banghead:
Time will tell whether their decision is smart or not..... :beats-me-man:

For any 99LH project, after 99 year lease ends, land revert back to govt, so what is the different? People still dreaming of en-bloc in OCR where govt has almost endless of GLS land for sale? :doh:

If developer A doesn't want to sell or put sky high price, developer B won't be able to buy. Remember the land belongs to the clan. The lessees (are buyers or this devt) are screwed. Can never enbloc.

similar concept to the watertown, bedok resi play except soleil is not exactly integrated but close enough.

For rental yield should be ok .
