    Is that the actual showflat?

    Notice how the developer realised how impossible their plans are? They have conveniently "forgotten" to install the following in their showflat:-

    1) Wall between bedroom and living
    2) Glass door between living and balcony
    3) Wall between your unit and your neighbour

    And worse of all, despite their interventions, the unit still looks small!

    Fantastic (to the developer)! The balcony + planter area + air-con ledge is bigger than the living room + dining room area!

    Why do they design in this manner. I though there is no advantage for developer to design with balcony,planter... after 2009? goverment ruling?

    Planter, air-con ledge do not require must furnishing, wall treatment, and flooring with marbles etc so cheaper to build mah, and balcony also cheaper to build than inner build-up area mah (also developer can allocate extra 10% space for balcony not included in the GFA), so for sure balcony must be big lah!.

    It's not a planter, it an ac ledge. Planter not allowed, but ac ledge still open to abuse....

    i noticed that air con ledges have become unnecessarily big in many projects since the incentive to build planter and bay windows was removed. sigh.

    Ang Mo dry clothes in balconies? Never heard that CCR private properties allow that (because usually stated in their condo by-laws). Only OCR private properties allow that? Those must be cheap-skate ang mo living in OCR private properties?

    Ha ha ha! Finally found another person making such statements on Residences@Evelyn! As I have mentioned before, R@E the bedrooms are so so SMALL and the bloody bay windows so so BIG! A 1120 sqft unit in R@E machiam like the older condo's 900 sqft unit!

    actually, i think its developers who through agents spread the word that ang mors love big balcony so that they can build big balconies! hahaha. much as ang mors like balconies, i think they also value living space. these days, with pathetic size for living and yard, the "standard of living" is dropping in singapore. sigh.

    Some comments on Park Infinia:

    - Mass market condo design located in CCR (486 units! Difficult to find so many units estate in CCR! More like those OCR mass market condos & ECs!).

    - Bad design, yard area no sun no wind, so either use dryer (expensive on pocket) or hang laundry on balconies (again, prime private properties have by-laws to disallow that - so can only say PI is being managed like mass market condos).

    - Many MM units in such a big estate! As with other MM condo estate, such units attract characters of vast (& sometimes dubious) background. Not really good for families with young kids. Saw many youngsters / young people smoking near the fence before.

    No window at all for the 1 plus study units. The whole apartment will smell after cooking.

    Carpark are located fr #02 to #06...automated carpk...maint fee tentatively 180 per mth inclusive of carpk lots. First come first basis but since most potential buyers will be buying to rent out to tenants who mostly dun hav cars... some lucky owners may have 2 carpark lots for the price of 1...carpk for nw is first cme first serve basis n subj to mgt ...hope tt answers ur qn...and yes...developer is holding #08 to #14. Nt sure if fund bought or they want to release low flr as phase 2. No news as yet...will update more when the official developer briefing is here.

    So the carparks is owned collectively by the MSCT or under a separate title owned by the developers?

    In other words, does the money from the season parking go to the MCST or goes into the developer's pockets?

    When is the launch likely to be?
