Agree. I look in when there's a need for some info eg Sec sch selection, JC selection.

There is a risk that all the land surrounding this project and nearer to the MRT/Mall might end up as BTOs or ECs. Then what happens to this?

Ya got 3 reserve sites next to it. If end up as hdb or ec.. This place sure drop in value

This place used to be called Gillman Heights ya? He said it was the pollution coming in from the ports/oil refinery/pasir panjang etc Apparently the wind brings it in that direction at times.

A new condo in Bishan that's slated to launch in mid-April could be the priciest suburban condo to hit the market, according to a report by The Straits Times.


The article said that the indicative average price of Sky Habitat (pictured) at Bishan Street 14 is expected to range between S$1,700 psf and S$1,800 psf. However, this is only the preliminary estimate from marketing agents, and could be higher or lower depending on buyers' interest.


Despite the early indicative price, the report said that the development will set a benchmark for the Bishan Central area as well as for suburban projects across the island. The price range for the condo is well above the initial market expectation of around S$1,500 psf.


Tan Kok Keong, Research and Consultancy Head at OrangeTee, said the project's proximity to Bishan MRT interchange as well as to Junction 8 mall and good schools like Raffles Institution are major selling points.
Another key feature of the project is its design by renowned Israeli architect Moshe Safdie, who also designed the Marina Bay Sands integrated resort.


However, one industry player said it would be a tough for the 99-year leasehold project to hit a price tag of between S$1,700 psf and S$1,800 psf, noting that CapitaLand's d'Leedon project on the former Farrer Court site is going for approximately S$1,680 psf. That project was designed by the famous architect Zaha Hadid.


Located in District 20, the iconic 38-storey condo is being developed by Bishan Residential Development, a joint venture (JV) company between CapitaLand and Mitsubishi Estate. It comprises 509 units ranging from two- to four-bedroom homes as well as one-bedroom plus study and two-bedroom plus study units. Related Stories:Palm Isles condo preview launched

Bartley Residences sees strong demand

Thomson Grand PSF has been trending downwards for a while. Those 1400psf ones hor are the early bird buyers. Recent PSF more like 1200+psf. One can argue different facing etc but I think the downward trend is statistically significant. And all those Bishan Park Condo nearby only 750psf.

I think Capitaland just drumming up interest bah. Remember they way overpaid for the site (just like d'Leedon) so need to find suckers to tranfer the wrong decision. Always want to use FT architects and never allow local architect to bid or design - may backfire leh.

this project suxxxxxxxxxxx

the siteplan looks so plain and boring.....the layout so inefficient

dun even want to tok abt the px.....buyers shall repent 10-15yrs like bishan 8?

only facade got abit designer feel

this project making TG a steal.....

Ya Hor.. recently Changi Airport oso got backfired bcos want only foreign architects for T4. Guess who is Changi Airport's Chairman?

It's fine. We are testing the limits of a hypothetical 3 bedroom size at that location.

I will pay $1 mil for that location for a 3 bedder, even if the rooms are small but I will not do that for a 1+1 bedder. Reason being the same area can provide more privacy for 4 individuals in the 3 bedder, whereas a 1+1 can only fit 2 individuals.

HDB to a condo near MRT and mall is an upgrade in life-style to me, simply because it is a status upgrade and I can get to use the facilities and enjoy the additional security.

Singapore so unsafe?

Was there recently. Easily $1250-80 psf after discount for 3 bedders mid level.
But quantum still very high...

Gardens at Bishan is only $900 odd psf.
Bishan Park Condo is rather run down. So I would compare it against Gardens at Bishan

[chiaberry]

$1200+ seems not too bad considering reputed pricing for Sky Habitat. The layout and facing are best for the 2-bedders. If not for ABSD, I might consider a mid-floor 2-bedder.

[bigapplefan]

Not that unsafe lah.. My 2 cents is that for condo, at least won't have strangers loitering around your place, no spam mail which let people know how long you haven't been home, no strangers knocking on your door to sell stuff like woks, ice cream etc. The facilities of course is a bonus too

Nobody sticking flyers on your wiper and going up round and round the MSCP looking for parking space. (although some MM condo still build MSCP)

For condo with Private Lift e.g. TG, Keppel Carribean etc.. no stranger coming up to your floor/level or knocking your door. Not even residence there

Bro it's not available. 1mil buys u nothing in today's market. So how ? You will not do it, that's fine, there are plenty of others who are willing to do 1.5m for a 3 bedder.

Cannot compare. Gardens at bishan has like 700+ units. It is mass market.. TG is more upmarket.

1.5m 3 bedder now only can get seletar. Want to get central bishan also could pose as a challenge.
