Capitaland launching Bedok Mrt Development

[kane]

Their aim is to give incentive for developers to build balconies as it also forms part of the criteria of duno wat green award...lol

Give them free 10%, developer also factor into their bid px....effectively i tink govt dun lose out....not really foc.....end consumer pay for it though.....but if no balconies, many projects will look like hdb bto flats liao....whahaha

Ok, if it is incentivise developers to build balconies, fine, but there has to be an absolute limit in psf that they can have extra. An the air con ledge allowance should be scrapped. How many condensers does a condo apartment even require?

The 4 bedroom D2 layout looks pretty good, 2 balconies. I think balconies are fine if they enjoy unblocked view on the high floor.

[DaytonaSS]

Tat will be ground flr.....2nd flr upwards will not be spared.....imagine everytime kena bio by commuters in the train.....no privacy, track noise, road noise and air pollution! Wow!

i though first few floor is mall? MRT track is not so tall lah.

The eye level of the train should be slightly below the start of the first residential level.

thats my guess also. mrt commuters shouldnt be able to look into the units. On preview day go kapo check it out

[DC33_2008]

Prospective buyer should do a site survey first.

U can look at centris....let say eye level on 1st flr of the residential units, can see another 3-5 storey upwards quite clearly

[Laguna]

For this project, couples of things to look up

1. rule out those facing the train track and Changi Road
2. the distance face to face between the two blocks, seems too near to be of comfort
3. facing the other side, perhaps is the best, but not too sure facing the factories, or HDB or the low rise private housing....

Pricing is not going to be cheap...
layout looks good for 2 bedrooms..and 4 bedrooms

That's a good observation to share. Train track facing could be priced lower since it's less desirable

[DaytonaSS]

Just spoke to nice pretty agent , seems interest is very high.

Near mrt tends to have a hypnotic effect on buyers to part with their money, at times bordering on irrationality.

There's centro now and in future when ura sells the plot next to Nex, there'll probably be one there.

At least no bay window for this project.

[kane]

Without the bay window allowance, it's no longer fashionable to have them.

However its not longer a plus point anymore....its a norm oredi

Yes, peoiple expect it in new projects.

Mbe a plus point....no oversized ac ledge....but hor got oversized balcony...haha

Maybe an oversized balcony would appeal to some but ac ledge is a complete rip off. Only the air con servicing man will say thank you to you for giving him more work space.

[azeoprop]

Alfresco living, dining and bedroom at the balcony is the latest fashion now....eco living haa haa....

[kane]

Unless one can have a bbq at the air con ledge. Ha.

[maisonjai]

Oversized balconies help to artificially push down the psf, good for advertising "starts from $xxx/psf" and Index "market cooling down".

[kane]

As they say, the devil is in the details.

[amk]

Seriously this one launching when ? In early Nov ? That will clash with the UOL bedok launch
