2 @ Leicester - FH by Whye Wah Construction
Hi hi,
Was walking home with my little toddler last weekend and saw a large banner outside the few terrace houses beside Intero. Evidently, there is going to be this new launch by Whye Wah Construction beside Intero and opposite One Leicester. The advertisement for the launch also appeared in Sat's papers. Basically the specs are:
- 9 storey development
- 16 units (2 units per floor)
- lap pool
- average $850psf
- freehold
- TOP end 2010
Actually I made this post not to ask about Whye Wah, but on a slightly related topic of living along Leicester Road. Basically we are quite concerned about all the developments coming up (or has already come up) along Leicester Road, and there is ONLY ONE exit point at Woodsville Close that is regulated by a yellow box junction. At this rate, all the residents here (Intero, Platinum Edge, One Leicester, 2 @ Leicester, Casa Meyer, Leicester Lodge, Woodsville 28) will be stuck in a long traffic tail-back each morning in trying to exit Woodsville Close that no ERP gantry can regulate; not to mention that there are tonnes of inconsiderate drivers who ignore the existence of the yellow box and drive right into it; hence making turning out impossible.
Anything which we can do to create another exit or a traffic light junction?
i am not an agent coz they stink
shortie developments with no view is not worth buying. go 4 beacon heights along mar thoma road which is the tallest development near boon keng mrt (28 floors). it is 999 years with full condo facilities (50m lap pool and tennis court etc), 5 min drive to town or 3 MRT STOPS to town, it has spectacular view of the city skyline, strategically situated in the middle of singapore and accessible to all parts of singapore as it is within minutes from the future woodsville interchange coming along, it is a peaceful neighbourhood whilst near town, priced below 1k psf.....etc etc. If you think orchard is central, look at the map and you will realise that boon keng is more central in singapore compared to orchard or dhoby ghaut area. So what are you guys waiting for......HOT HOT HOT GO AND BUY!!!!
MANY Agents also just people wanting to earn an Honest Living

Noticed your heading... saying that agents STINK...
Don't know abt your bad experience with agents, but there are MANY agents out there who are just people wanting to earn an honest living. There are many who in fact invest large amounts of money and time, working odd hours and go the extra mile for owners and are played out by them.
I have not gone and checked out Beacon Hgts, but the Mar Thoma/ St Michael's locality is not the most desirable. If you have ever lived in that locality (I lived in Moonstone Lane for many yrs), you will know what a nightmare it can be with the traffic in the morning and evenings. i.e. When you head out to work & when you are getting home in the evening after a long day at work. No no no, not a desirable location unles you get it REAL CHEAP and is willing to overlook the daily frustration with the traffic. For me, I tell my clients and people I care about to skip it. Seriously it isn't worth it if it is going to frustrate you daily and waste your precious time sitting in the traffic.
I know that with the small changes the govt has done where the old fire stn used to be, it may help the situation a little BUT they are building a bus interchange in the middle of the traffic and that will cause the congestion to worsen. Wait & you will see... So, buy something before or after that stretch of road, not off it. just my 2 cents worth.
