The 'island' surrounded by the road most likely will have some retail at its ground level. It is the best plot. CDL may be waiting for critical mass to build up first by the other plots.

the inward facing units of 111 and 119 al got west sun leh. how can that be good? at least the inner blocks are probably better.
I think CDL had paid development charges to convert from industrial to residential a few years ago, not so sure whether they gg pay to convert it to residential cum retail. If so, they should have done so earlier as this will help to push the selling price of the 4 plots at least by 10-20 percent as they will be near amenities and all walking distance to mrt.Originally Posted by hyenergix
CDL is not really creative like FEO. It is really wasted if there is really no retail. Things may change several years down the road.Originally Posted by coolview
Ya they are not thinking strategically, or maybe there are some constraint, maybe the CDL shareholders here should voice out in the AGM.Originally Posted by hyenergix
Can anyone recall when CDL bought this humongous land donkey years ago?
Yee ha! Did I tickle your funny bone?
It should be before year 2000,
Exactly when no idea...
I would think nearby belysea is better, becos v cheap, all sold out.
The resale hdb opposite livia also not bad, in term of price .

no balcony but got planters and baywindowsOriginally Posted by webber
long long time ago i used to stay near there...
the living rooms disappeared.. hahaha
The 2nd bedroom is super jia lat. From the drawing, seems like you have to squeeze a single bed on top of the bay window.

For many of the 2 bedroom and 2+study design, the main door opens to the kitchen door with a straight through view to the kitchen window. I think that is quite bad in terms of fengshui.
from the pictures there seems to be balcony?
anyway whats the rational for building planters and bay windows when so many people dislike them? just curious
personal preferences i suppose. i know of someone who decided to build her own bay window at her living room floor to ceiling windows.Originally Posted by cornycow
some like bay windows because of aesthetic reasons i suppose....Originally Posted by august

I think the smart storage will be like those at NV Residences
made an enquiry, 3BR & 4BR priced between 800-900 psf. is this considered reasonable?
thats about the same as NV now...Originally Posted by eng81157
similar to nv initial launch px rite?Originally Posted by iwantgizmos
800-850psf quite ok....Originally Posted by eng81157
2bdr 850-900psf ok as well....
the layout rather good. minimal wasted space on balcony and planters, except for PHs.Originally Posted by devilplate
3bdr not bad....mabe can go for 4bdr since limited supplyOriginally Posted by eng81157
Hmmm if can get low flr pool view 3bdr at ard 900k will be cool....
'Slightly' higher than NV initial launch (initial launch price was average 830psf) px but the quantum is similar since the size is also 'slightly' smaller.Originally Posted by devilplate
Comparing to units with similar number of bedrooms, NV's unit has bigger balcony and plantersOriginally Posted by sotidy
Balcony? NV units do not have balcony.Originally Posted by eng81157
The fact is I have seen the floor plans of both projects and clearly NV units do not have balcony. Actually both projects are identical in many aspects except that NV should TOP early 2013.
