Can't help feeling that if buy SH, you are paying for Capland's mistake. Only outside may look nice to some, but inside all same same lah, no different from any run of the mill condo.Originally Posted by b13boy

The agent on site said all units were released and he was ready to quote for any unit with his thick wag of price list, so it is quite confusing why the media reported only 180units were released.Originally Posted by Juniper
only time will tell....my thinking is that when mr mosquito...oops sorry i think mr moshdie....the designer finally leaves this world...his works of art will appreciate...like Mona Lisa painting...Originally Posted by fclim

Like HDB, no?
Walk in office attire or T-shirt with short? Rain, sunny or gloomy? You get what I meanOriginally Posted by fclim

Not just the physical aspect of it. You also need to factor in the type of community. I am sure for HDB dwellers who bought a place there will invite their ah gong ah mah, ah gou ah yee, ah tee ah hiah to come use their condo facilities, turning the place into a weekend country club.Originally Posted by fclim
Actually I don't like the "step" design because it obstructs the view from the units above. The units below also act as collection of rubbish from units above.
So high/mid floor units can only look "outwards" at the sky because if they look down, they will only see the balcony of the units below. And considering the "step" structure extended so far outwards, the high floor units will be looking down at 20 different concrete balconies with laundry. Sian.
And by the time this thing completes, the following MRT lines will be completed
DTL 2 - bukit timah and upper bukit timah
DTL 3 - bedok reservoir
TL - Thomson and Upper Thomson
All 3 above are locations nearer nature, greenery, reservoirs and exclusively private. Bishan central is neither here nor there. Neither very comforting heartlander like Toa Payoh or AMK, nor feels very laid back or exclusive. It's like a more "clinical" HDB heartland town without the heart.

If the profile of buyers is truely HDB upgraders buying for their own residence, 4y SSD + ABSD probably is not a major consideration.Originally Posted by phantom_opera

just because I am teochew?Originally Posted by phantom_opera

Not bad right? promote art in heartland.
if most of the buyers are HDB upgraders, it just goes to show that there's lots of hidden dragons and crouching tigers amongst those in the heartlands. it's no joke forking out that SkyHigh kind of psf for a suburban condo
on a side note, the design reminds of me terrace rice padis
Agree with all of the above.Originally Posted by Wild Falcon
That's why the sales of Thomson Grand have been quietly doing well. SH has given a boost to TG.
Imagine all the cigarette butts dropping down onto your balcony from above with the step design. It might work in Western countries where perhaps ppl are more civic-minded but not in SG unless there's a quantum leap in attitude. I have an enclosed balcony in my condo and there's still cigarette butts appearing on the sill. This is despite the security going round personally to each unit to knock on the door and remind the occupants not to throw cigarette butts off the balconies.
Ya lor.. only time will tell... But hor, must wait 500 years to appreciate, like Mona Lisa painting... By then, lease run out liao..Originally Posted by radha08
Due to the large balconies + small service yard + aversion to dryers ... this is a distinct possibility.Originally Posted by Wild Falcon
lease run out nebermind...the buyer also up the lorry...Originally Posted by fclim
That's why I said subjective. But, it is not completely unwalkable oso...Originally Posted by phantom_opera
Haha this is really funny...Originally Posted by Rosegarden
I had the same mental picture too. Plus given singapore's weather, the white walls will soon have dark streaks in them. Give a totally different artist impression altogether.
But jokes aside, I do want SH to do well. It is a good market barometer of how much liquidity and bullishness there is in the local heartlands segment.

PAP is already shaken by recent suggestion to revamp low income wages to narrow income gap, do you think government will allow property prices to continue charging ahead?Originally Posted by new2mondrian
No chance lah.
If they sold 70 units, they would say they launched only 100 units. If they managed to sell 140 units, they would say they launch only 200 units. They just want to make public that 70% of launched units sold. Another what we call facts but not real.Originally Posted by Rosegarden
the increase in property prices is somewhat beyond the control of local govt's grasp, due to the liquidity slush in the global markets. whilst i agree that they won't let prices charge ahead, i beg to question the ability to conjure more CMs without affecting the overall stance of welcoming FDIs and FTs.Originally Posted by Juniper
IMO, as long as the walk is not more than 10 to 15 mins, it is okay. See it as an opportunity to exercise.Originally Posted by fclim
Of course as fclim pointed out, some people just don't like to walk. Remember in another posting someone remarked walking from one part of the MRT to another part of the MRT is troublesome.
If strictly comparing between Cheung Kong's Thomson Grand and Sky Habitat.Originally Posted by chiaberry
The choice is pretty obvious isn't it?

This is a ++++ point for japanese men tenants.
looking now for telescope that can point below horizon
Have we ever wonder why developers only announce the number of units launched after they know the number of units sold? Alternatively, they may announce only a very small number of units to be launched so that they will get a very high percentage of unit sold.Originally Posted by Leeds
