Archipelago UOL Bedok Reservoir

Pavilion II bro baka

[ppty]

it actually depends on who is the main contractor for the project

last year few reputable coys were sued by MCST for defects - so its actually not correct to put all in same boat

UOL projects - beware of workmanship issues.

[carbuncle]

MCST can sue developer for defects? I thought by the time its formed, developer hand over liao...

[ppty]

of course its possible - the law allows up to 8years

apparently many MCST are not so well verse in these matters and that's advantageous to developers

Their marketing is pretty useless, if FEO, would have been 99% sold

Chill, bro. I am saying they sound like HDB type of contractor. I'm not saying they are not reputable. I think you misread cos I did not say tiong Seng = bad quality. Peace.

Considering their traditional marketing style and high quantum for most of the units, I think they did quite well. FEO seahill still stuck at <60% though it was launched later despite pretty aggressive marketing.

Cannot compare like that, UOL is selling at market price while FEO is leading the market price

That part I can't dispute that feo is always testing price barriers, but if u compare archi and Eco, I think using a 3br as benchmark, Psf are pretty close? 1100psf vs 1150psf? This make Eco quite attractive.

Wah, with all the floater news and 7th mth thingy, it really surprised me that they muster another 10% of sales since July figures. At 95% means they have less than 30 units left? It kind of leapfrog euhabitat cos just saw bro Tripp posting that euhabitat stands at 93%.

surprise surprise to me but within bro Phantom prediction.

Agree that Archi is not cheap. But then again for a home that sits within a park...there aren't many choices. Always walked through Botanic Gardens and said how nice if our home was built there. Well, this is the closest that we have found.

Jogged past the sf and kpo with one of the agents...

1br left 1 unit
2br left 5 units
Strata left 4 units

10 units of the project left... Stellar results in the 7th month. I guess the newly renovated SF really help changed the fengshui of the 1/2br!

[zeamybro]

Think still got some penthouses of various combi left... So shld have balance of 20 units to clear

Just got a SMS from agent saying 3 x 2br and 3 x 3+1br left. SF closing soon. Buy them before they are sold. It seems the 1br are gone.

I believe they still have PH & strata units not stated in message for those keen.

so u buying......damm sianz this property CHASE...

[phantom_opera]

after the MM restriction announcement, all 1brs cleaned up in no time

[zeamybro]

This shows that many buyers still appreciate the location there ie. walking distance to mrt, ample eateries, 2 supermarkets, 7-11, Guardian pharmacy, clinics, TCM, bakeries plus a v big reservoir park .... Even without much aggressive marketing the units will still move.

My friend been urging me to get a unit too ...

Guess the showflat will be closing before year end with so few units left and they will be able to ramp up on the construction. This project really sold faster than I expected, given the high quantum, priciest of the Bedok Reservoir stretch, quite a no. of big units, CM6 announce right b4 launch, floater news and all.

[zeamybro]

Sidetrack a bit.. but Sis Buttercarp may be interested

Yday i finally got to taste the supposedly very famous and popular Nam Kee chickren rice at Thomson road after several failed attempts previously (either no carpark, no tables or got table but run out of chicken etc).

I personally dont the find the food tasty, but my mum said the chicken is prep in an authentic way (without soaking into cold water), and the gen Y like me wont appreciate....

Still prefer the chicken rice at Sheng Ji (opp Archi) and Xiang Ji (Bedok reservoir market) ..... I guess I could never grow out of the east.

[ppty]

U know why - cause its unique low rise

with more big units - the plus point is u have owners who buy to stay and price drop is in a way controlled

investors also prefer a development where most owners buy to stay so that there is less competition when renting out the unit
