The westward sicc golf course view is really pretty good.
Junior
For those who would wish for a preview of the view from TG, can try to visit units in Flame Tree Park. Stacks 4, 5 and 6. The kitchen view from Stack 4 is roughly north-west facing similar to the 2 bedders of TG (can see the reservoirs), Stack 5 faces the SICC golf course and has the west facing, Stack 5 and Stack 6 master bedrooms probably are quite close to the view from the 3 bedders of TG. Need to go to a fairly high floor to appreciate.
Senior
I think from 15th floor onwards should be good enough.

Sin Ming MRT could indeed be there but of course nothing is confirmed until LTA announces it
Distance from Thomson Grand to Sin Ming Station is probably about 350m if the speculation for the MRT is correct.
I however thinks Cheung Kong has already priced in the possibility of MRT station in their $1400 psf asking price.

Hmmm....I did the measurement using www.onemap.com.sg and the distance seems not as short as you think (upwards of 600m if the entrance is on Sin Ming Road. The HDBs at Sin Ming huat-ahh. But few transactions these days.Distance from Thomson Grand to Sin Ming Station is probably about 350m if the speculation for the MRT is correct.

Wonder when is the announcement for the thomson line. There's been a lot of soil test in the area and the suspected sites along the line.
Newbie
400m according to googlemap.

Didn't bite earlier due to the excessively high quantum of $1.99mil. The disc wasn't attractive enough for lower quantum units.
I was also deliberating on the possibility Greece might collapse followed by the entire Euro zone.
Now starting to have renewed interest in this development after looking at Sky Habitat estimated psf and another new parcel further down the road up for sale in June 2012

Is this project still worth considering...

This plot is sandwich between hdb and thomson view. Don't think it is that great. Thomson view's plot will be good.
Junior
View from TG will be better than the new plot.
Thomson View has been trying to go en bloc. No takers. I think the quantum too high for most developers to digest. Same for Faber Gardens.
Newbie
Agree, after studying the plot and google map.
TG had better view. The only advantage for this plot is close proximity to Thomson Plaza. Depending on how developer places the layout, some stacks could be obstructed by Thomson View
Junior
It is highly likely there will be a Thomson Line MRT station within walking distance. Might be located opp Thomson Plaza. The release of this plot may be to coincide with announcement of the Thomson Line stations? However I have heard that the fengshui around this area might not be so good. Something to do with the shape of the HDB blocks next door forming a claw-like shape to engulf this area (including Thomson View). If you are into fengshui you might consider to have it checked out by a fengshui master.
Newbie
Then the fengshui at Thomson Grand should be better? HK people very superstitious including Developer, which in this case is Cheung Kong
Newbie
Wah, gahmen is squeezing every bit of land. Next will be the plot beside flame tree park?
Senior
Govt bo pian... Singapore is just too small a land... next time we will have basement city.. an entire town located in the basement...
Newbie
Why does the board says 3rd Quarter 2012 completion when the sales booklet indicates 8 Nov 2015 ?
Might seriously consider this if this is completed by 3rd Quarter 2012
Newbie
I answered my own Q.
That date refers to the Completion Date for Piling work.
Junior
It's not that good either. Have temple on one side and school on the other side. But perhaps the developer have put in some counter-measures against these.
Newbie
Agent claimed that Developer designed the layout like a fish for good feng-shui.
Strata house facing Thomson Road is the tail-fin of a fish
it probably look like a fish for those who believe. Those who don't, take it as bull**** sales talk only.

Please ask for more discounts.. Developer giving 10% stamp duty absorption for Foreign buyers
Newbie
Are you positive? 10%? so little?
I'll try for 24% at least.
Most Developers has 15%+3%+3%+2%+1% etc... in various form/permutation.
Junior
Not sure if the 10% absd absorption is on top of the vip discountAre you positive? 10%? so little?
I'll try for 24% at least.

Newbie
then it would be considered developer fire sale if one can get 24%+10%.
hahaha...
Newbie
Is anyone successful recently in getting a discount more than 3.5%?
The current disc is not attractive at all.
Seems like they are holding prices up thinking they are better priced/value compared to Sky Habitat or maybe they are hoping for Sky Habitat to launch and raise their prices.
Senior
Sky habitat is doing them a big favour. It's all aboit relative perception.

If TG sales are slow at current prices, what makes them think when SH launch their sales will pick up? The attributes for these 2 locations are quite different. By the way, the Qin Ming festival is not helping TG
Senior
yes, they are of a different location. but inevitably comparisons will be made. initially when they launched it at 1200 to 1300psf, people just thought the were plain nuts and brush it aside. then a couple of months later, some other project down the road about 4km away launches for 1700psf. that will quite naturally tickle people's interest.If TG sales are slow at current prices, what makes them think when SH launch their sales will pick up?

if SH doesn't have a successful launch, then TG will not get more inquiries. If SH has a successful launch, chances are TG will receive a spike in inquiries, and potentially some of those will be converted into actual sales.
Junior
Have u guys really gone down and see TG ? For all practical purpose , it's selling very well. Just left a few low floor temple facing 3bds and some poor facing 2bds. The bishan price definitely helped the sales in these 2 weeks.
