THOMSON GRAND - Jalan Tambur (Upper Thomson Rd), By Luxury Green Development Pte Ltd

[ysyap]

Interesting story near this development.

Interesting indeed... me stayed in AMK for more than 10 years but never know about this... maybe the voice of the girl can still be heard along Upper Thomson Rd... Thomson G and Meadows @ P...

[lufu]

this thread has gone quiet since early launch. attracted to Thomson Grand by the Private Lift feature.

but the psf looks high. agent kept saying this is not a MM but luxury product and therefore the high quantum.

I said i will consider...

[azeoprop]

Anyway nowadays HDB after lift upgrading is almost like private lift liaoz haa haa... My aunt's 4 room flat 1 lift 2 units per floor.

The major difference being every Tom dick and Harry could go up to your Aunty's floor. haha...

Went to a friend's place Keppel at Caribbean. They don't even close or lock the main door because once You step out of the lift the entire place is their house.

By hdb standards, 2 units per life landing is pretty exclusive as it is.

Many of the HDBs in the nearby blocks to Thomson Grand will also have 2 flats per floor after lift upgrading as they are door-to-door units.

Yup those door to door units are the bigger beneficiaries of this lift upgrading programme.

$1,500psf for Upper Thomson area.. 99-yrs LH.. Very Nice!

I am not sure why people always like to use the highest psf price as yardstick instead of using average psf.

For TG, the average psf (excluding terrace house) is around $1280 with average unit size of 1390sqft. If we include the terrace houses, average psf will be around $1050psf.

Even using average also have discrepancies. Some use mean, some use medium.. some use v strange way of calculation... hmmm... no one size fits all, I guess...

This is not the highest psf.

[Komo]

did the developer jack up the price and give discounts? or give voucher which is not factored into the coveat price?

[kane]

Because the average always seem to be the starting from price. Either go foe medium at psf range, that would be better.

[Komo]

....any chance for asking discount >3%

To be honest psf seems low but their unit size not MM. Similar quantum you can buy FH rivervalley

[Jadey]

This is not the highest psf.

yah you are right. 1501psf is not the highest, 1564psf is. But does it really make much of a difference as to how misleading to always talk about TG at this price range, when terrace houses in the same development are going at
$650psf.

[Jadey]

Even using average also have discrepancies. Some use mean, some use medium.. some use v strange way of calculation... hmmm... no one size fits all, I guess...

regardless of which method, the averaging discrepancy cannot be off by a few hundred psf.

Saw their advertisement on Saturday 10 March

New release and early bird discount. Anyone been there? What is the discount ?

[amk]

..when terrace houses in the same development are going at
$650psf.

wouldn't this make the "average psf" even more misleading ??

as another member put it, there is no "right" number. you choose to see what you choose to see.

for me I pay more attention to the quantum. This project shows there are plenty of HDB buyers capable of paying 1.7m for a decent 3bd. This could be the upper limit of upgraders.

[bargain hunter]

1.7m is for the "highest end" hdb upgraders to bishan, toa payoh, tiong bahru. other districts difficult.

A lot of rich mature estate upgrader at Thomson Grand?
TG luxury marketing works I guess. 300 over units instead of large 700 units EC type condo and build some strata house to help even out the development cost. luxury status to attract mid level Mass Market.

Brilliant.


Just found out the discount level is 3.5% with new stack released. Much lower than the 20 over percent other developers are giving

I disagree, using average pricing is a more accurate way to measure a project instead of using peak or bottom price. As I mentioned before, if I exclude the terrace units in my calculation, the average price of TG is still around 1270psf, which is nowhere close to the 1500+psf that people are talking about.

IIRC when a project goes for en bloc, no one is going care if your unit has got better facing than others, each unit will be paid according to their share value.

I thought majority of the TG buyer are from private address. Where did you get the impression that there are many HDB upgraders buying 1.7m 3 bedder units? source please.

There is another approxi $68k cash voucher... 2-bedder is about $1200 psf+ after all the discounts ($1.1 mil onwards). I think the future MRT station will be nearby in Sin Ming.
