Hi has anybody collected their keys yet?
Hi has anybody collected their keys yet?
Went to the showroom. Very nice BUT Damn expensive. 3 room condo costs around 700k++!!! Also not very big, only 1100++ sq feet. Cost like freehold!. Also got around total 848 units!!! So high density for such a small land.
I agree LS is way overpriced at $500psf. FEO's reputation for shoddy workmanship is a big minus. I actually viewed both LS and Lakeholmz but bought neither. But Lakeholmz would be a better buy at about $450psf. Workmanship of Centerpoint is much better.Originally Posted by jack sprat

If you want to know if someone is a moron, just ask where they live.
Same goes for people who bought City Square Residences!
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA
Are you sure? For that kind of price, you can get the same size in better locations, near city.Originally Posted by jack sprat
Is that a multi storey carpark in the picture? If yes, than it makes no difference staying in a HDB. Also, it looks more like some Ponggol HDB leh Juz my 2 cents.
I visited the showroom in Nov 06. Very nice concept (lots of water) and the views would be good because of Chinese gardens and the lake. But I think the price at about 550 psf is a bit too high. If priced at 500 psf would be fair.
Lakeshore is near a good Primary Sch. Rulang, a plus point for buyers with preschool children.
$550 is a bargain. Now is $700 psf liao.Originally Posted by Madeira
Yeap. Agent said the price has jumped twice in the past month. And they are still holding on one lake-view blcok for sale, waithing for a best time to sell, for higher price, of course.Originally Posted by Unregistered

A far east project in Jurong and you dare to buy to flip?
I received so many fancy mails and flyers from Far East lately to introduce their projects in Sinagpore, Lakeshore was not evn mentioned in these mails
I could be wrong, may be they are sending the flyers on promoting Lakeshore only to HDB.
I didnt buy a unit there, just went down to take a look 3 weeks ago. I must admit that the water faetures and the interior design there is indeed quite nice, especially the garden at the 7th storey. But now psf is $700, its a bit too pricy to buy now
Dear all,
I'm considering to sell my 2+1 unit in Tower 3E (pool facing) due to a change of plan. I bought the unit in Jan 2007 and TOP is expected to be end of 2007. As of now, developer's selling price for a 2+1 unit (without pool view) for 12-floor onwards is $590k. I'm looking at letting go my unit around $583k. Anyone interested can email to [email protected]. Cheers.
What is the size of your unit and facing which direction and locale?Originally Posted by whaleywillie
If you don't mind, how much did you pay for your unit?
Which floor is your unit on?Originally Posted by whaleywillie
Just went for a look look c c,
The unit to unit are very close to each other, tower 2E can see ur next door clearly as is just < 4 meter away
Likewise most towers can clearly watch it opp tower residents walking area their living room/bed room (as this rooms facing each other)
I think their have over price it, some 999 lower than this price
Just saw FEO on TV promoting there property, on lakeshore.
Why FEO need external source, Lain Beng, to help out?
FEO alone was not strong enough?
FEO was no confident to on show alone?
Lian Beng, being the main contractor, may be asked to fork out some money for the advertisement... cost sharing...Originally Posted by Unregistered
Received a sms from some agents that there is a release of subsales units selling at 100k below the developer's price.
Anyone here can verify?
Aiyo everyday in the newpaper also have. However not many units with good facing left.
no offence to lakeshore owners...was there last week to recce...u want my honest opinion of this place - here goes..
1. units facing the lake will have massive traffic/MRT noise along Boon Lay Way and the junction. At night can only on aircon to sleep..but no issues..since many of you are rich to on aircon whole day even. is really ironical, serenity of the lake spoilt by the road/tracks..a big WASTE!!
2. units facing each other - too close liao..i did not realise nowadays developers try to make huge profits by building so many units so close to each other. better get all your blinds ready...for those claustrophobic ones, make sure medication is on hand.
3. Multi-storey carpark is a joke..feel like parking in a HDB MSC..not class enough. some units can see carpark also from house..what a let down. why cant they build it below the development..out of sight.
4. Was quoted $800K + for a small 2 bedroom unit...i wondered aloud who in the right mind will pay such a price for such a crappy unit?.
5. pool looks good but too small for so many units, maybe less crowded at public swimming pools..
6. Potential is capped as govt recently released the new plot of land just next to Lakeside MRT..nearer than lakeholmz and dont need to cross the road like Lakeshore. in my opinion, i dont quite get the rationale? the place there is too crowded liao...lakepoint, lakeshore, new devt, lakeholmz...parc vista..wah lao..i suggest they call the new devt...LAKESQUEEZE.. Chinese Garden Area however still got good upside...Parc Oasis and The Mayfair...less crowded..
again above is just my humble opinion... thanks.
Saw in papers a 3 bedroom at Parc Oasis priced at 750 K, is it not too high
for this old condo?
Nowadays sellers are asking very high price, hoping that some not-so-knowledgable buyers will pay the high price.Originally Posted by Unregistered
The MRT track runs along the opposite side of the main road, not on the side where Lakeshore is located. I don’t deny there will be noise, but it is less pronounced compared to if it’s built on the opposite side of the road. Your description of “massive” noise is simply exaggerated.Originally Posted by boonlaysg
I don’t deny that some, but not all units are close to each other, especially those units from tower 2 and 3 that converge towards each other. Let’s be fair, it’s not that many, and units that are not pool-facing won’t see each other.Originally Posted by boonlaysg
I don’t feel MSCP is not class enough. More importantly is whether the lots are very small and too close together, or positioned at odd angles/ corners. It’s cooler and brighter inside a MSCP than an underground basement car park. The roof gardens on top the MSCP enhance the overall landscape of the development. I really don’t see MSCP as a negative feature if it’s tastefully done.Originally Posted by boonlaysg
Can you provide more info on the unit that was quoted to you? Which tower, what unit layout, which floor, pool or non-pool facing, before or after discount, etc? Otherwise, it’s just too vague a crappy statement to comment on.Originally Posted by boonlaysg
This pool is among the largest I’ve ever seen so far in a private development. However, whether there will be perpetual overcrowding at the pool can only be verified 2 years after TOP.Originally Posted by boonlaysg
New plot of land won’t tender until October. By then property market would have increased further, and the developer who wins the tender will have to bid very high. Construction and material costs have all gone up, so the new development is expected to be priced much higher, if not competitive to Lakeshore. Even though the new development is nearer to MRT than Lakeholmz, it’s still twice the distance compared to Lakeshore, and there isn’t any shelter along the way too. The new development will realize its potential fully if it can differentiate itself with a unique theme.Originally Posted by boonlaysg
The lakeside area crowded and potential capped? No, still early days now. You’ll see more developments in Jurong West over the next decade or so as population and businesses expand within the West region. Parc Oasis and Mayfair location is nearer to JE. Can buy if you don’t mind Parc Oasis is already 13 years old and Mayfair is 7 years old.
Your opinions are perceivably negative and I hope to offer some balance... please don't feel that I'm undermining your ability to judge, you are certainly entitled to your views. Thanks.
Anybody know Lakeshore prelauch price?
Government announces plans for Jurong Lake District

Jurong is set to be home to the largest commercial hub outside the city centre.
The Jurong Lake District – made up of two precincts, Jurong Gateway and Lakeside – will offer a potential development area of 360 hectares or about the size of Marina Bay.
National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan announced this when he unveiled part of the government's ‘Draft Master Plan Review 2008’. The blueprint will guide Singapore's land use over the next 10 to 15 years.
The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) said that some 750,000 square metres of land will be set aside at Jurong Gateway for offices, hotels, food and beverage, and entertainment uses.
Jurong Gateway will be nearly 2.5 times the size of the Tampines Regional Centre and is expected to attract billions of dollars in investment.
Speaking at the annual corporate plan seminar, National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan said decentralisation will be a key planning strategy. This will help bring jobs and recreational options closer to home.
Under the proposed plan, 1,000 new private apartments will also be built at Jurong Gateway.
Mr Mah said: "That is the initial estimate, but some of the sites around there are white sites. If there is more demand, we will certainly be able to reallocate.
"But all this ultimately will have to depend on the market as well - how the market responds and whether the emphasis of more housing or more office. I think we will have to be guided by the market."
Some 2,800 hotel rooms will also be added in the new district in anticipation of more visitors.
And what will get them coming is a slew of nature-themed and edu-tainment attractions, which will spring up at Lakeside. A new world-class Science Centre will also be built next to the Chinese Garden MRT station.
Visitors can also look forward to lush greenery and water-based activities.
Urban planners said there is a lot going for Jurong as investors will be able to tap into a population catchment of over one million residents living in nearby housing estates, as well as leverage on some 3,000 companies already operating in the area.
In addition, the new district will be served by three MRT stations and two major expressways.
Apart from Jurong, Paya Lebar is also expected to be developed into a sub-regional centre. The URA will release more details in May.
I HAVE CANCELLED MY PLANS TOO. CAN WAIT FOR A BIG DROP.Originally Posted by Unregistered
