Now I asked the agent and he said developer up the asking price already, like most other condos in D19. You have some say in the price, not like most other units where crowds are gathering at the showflat and prices are pretty much fixed with controlled discounts or rebates.

    Another thing I like is the huge floor area. My unit close to 1500 sq ft for a 3 bedder. Very spacious. Like that feel.

    I also like the drive through concept to drop off passengers which are usually absent for small projects.

    There are also designated public parking lots just outside the project (about 10 lots) for visitors. Most projects do not have this.

    Cannot control myself from saying why I like this place.. better stop here if not kana complain that I'm an agent disguising as a buyer!!!

    Two years is a long time. My longest and shortest time to decide on buying my properties were 6 and 3 days respectively. I am rather fortunate that I have not regretted in making those decisions.

    I also briefly considered this project and viewed the project next door (bayou) about 1.5 yrs ago. That time called up and agent say only can view the model at their office. Also agent quoted a relatively high psf for that time, so decided to give it a miss.
    Anyway congrats on your purchase.

    Think there is still a 2 bedder penthouse. Can try subsales but didn't see any in the market currently but can always check with agent. They might have the most updated one. 3 bedders are slightly big so budget might be pretty tight... I squeezed myself dry!!!

    Bottomline: must be a good buy. Fast and sharp is important as good units usually snap up very fast.

    Yes yes... gone are the days like the launch of 8@ Woodleigh and Clovers by the Park where choice units are literally snapped up in a matter of hours... mad rush... now at least more logic involved...

    This very true. Research is needed to find those gems just like oil fields. It brings continuous flow of cash (rental) and capital gain when it is realized.

    Went down to see the showflat….very tempted to buy a 3 bedder. MCL Land is truly one of the top developer in Singapore. The prices for units (excluding PES type) quoted are all 968psf upwards with many hitting slightly over 1000psf. MCL shark sensed blood with the 150 units sold during the preliminary preview.
    Good Points:
    • Huge land size and only 414 units. The plot size is 325K sqft.
    • Landscaping and facilities super impressive. 3 clubhouses. Firefly creek
    • Outstanding modern exterior façade design.
    • The location is actually superb for this development. Many people said not near the MRT so not good but failed to see the accessibility factor from other public transport point of view. There are also at least 3- 4 SBS bus services from Ang Mo Kio MRT to Terrasse’s side gate. Hence the sinking/dread feeling of waiting for bus to come is mitigated. On top of that, bus no 74 has high frequency. This will aid families which own only 1 car. Understand the developer will be providing private bus service….but the problem is does it include service till midnight? There is also a SBS bus service running past Ubi and going to Marine Parade Road.
    • Those who drive will know that it is near the CTE at Ang Mo Kio Ave 3. Chomp Chomp also a quick drive down Yio Chu Kang Road.
    • Basement parking.

    Bad Points:

    • Bedroom sizes very small. For Master bedroom 3 bedder and below, you will only be able to fit in a queen size bed.
    • The Master bedroom built in wardrobe for 3 bedder and below are just too tiny. It will lead to family tragedy. Wife will have no space to put all her clothes and will always be in bad mood….the bad mood will be channeled to the husband.
    • Tiny Kitchen. Agent claimed is big actually….
    • Just could not comprehend why the wardrobe for the normal bedrooms are not those sliding nature type given the constraint of space.
    • The flooring option does not go down well with the 1000psf price tag. Homogenous tiles for living and dining area. Laminated flooring for bedrooms.
    • Noise pollution from the busy main road will actually make it hard for you to “escape the hectic pace of city life and discover the simple pleasures of living at Terrasse” per the brochure.
    • Heavy traffic at Yio Chu Kang Road during peak hours. It is going to be a challenging feat to do a U-turn out to Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 (from slip road created) to access the CTE.

    The old adage applies: Buy what you like and can afford. Overall, a nice and cosy development.

    I was also very tempted to put down a cheque for a 2-bedder. I was thinking once I'm inside the built condo, I would feel like really in a resort But the interior is really a let-down compare to exterior...

    KWB said conc on 3 groups of people as well as promising to build more to cater to potential increase in housing demand and also to review the income ceiling but nothing about cooling measure... don't think its coming. It will just further upset the balance the KBW is trying to establish with so much promises. Even if there is CM coming, it might be very specific and targetted... maybe this time at developers... who's having far too much freeplay...

    I visited the showflat last weekend and it was packed with people!!! Guess many are trying to buy buy buy before the next round of CM comes around.

    Looking at the chart that the agent showed me when I first arrived, about 50% were already sold. Based on the response, I thought I would be looking at some really nice layout with decent enough fittings and finishing. But to my disappointment, the layout of the showflats there were not really that ideal. Although there isn't any bay windows, there was a lot of wasted space in the master bedroom, master bath and balcony. The materials for the flooring are such disappointment too! (Imagine laminates, porceleine and ceramic tilings.) The location is also not fantastic. No mrt nearby and only 1 good school around....

    Conclusion: Not a fantastic deal at today's pricing.

    they nid to increase the size by 100-150sqft and reduce px by 100psf den reasonable
