Have a couple of friends with TOP projects in prime area but no interest so far... Must qualified that maybe the asking was too high...Originally Posted by DC33_2008

Prime is no good but must be at the right location in the macro scale. Which development? Asking more than 5K for 2 bedder?Originally Posted by stiook
Reflection... Didn't ask too much.
Back to topic... When is the launch? Just feel like going down to look see...
Yeah, I think its very soon. Received sms from agent asking if I want to go preview already. Feel like going down to kay po, but dun want to be subject to those pressure tactics by agent ...Originally Posted by stiook
Maybe I should wait until formal launch, and hope that got a big crowd, so I can go and look see look see without attracting any agent's attention.
Will be a big crowd.Originally Posted by Eldenfirefly
1bd for this project most likely 500 plus sqft. 750sqft probably a 2bd. The basis of ur comparism is flawed. No one is expecting a 4k for 1bd.Originally Posted by Jadey
.. Although it's obvious all these new launches will not have great rental yield. Why ppl buying ? Ask the Punggol guys 1st.
But will ppl buy bishan 1bd+study for 800k ? Maybe CAPL should rename them all as SOHO 1st.
It will become a norm after a while. Interest rate rise will hit this group of people badly. By then, may see some sales but there will be no takers unless there are fire sales.Originally Posted by amk
I noticed most unit in this project comes with a balcony, so I am expecting a 1bedder to be bigger than 500sqft. If a 1bedder is going for 1.2m each I would expect investors will be looking at a min rental of 4.0K, which I think will be difficult in that area.Originally Posted by amk
If they are indeed selling 1bd + study for 800K, I am sure those deep pocket investor will be turn off by the potential large proportion of hdb owners or upgraders.
So, they only need to pay 10% upfront (just like buying option) now, and wait till 2013 then pay the 2nd 10% (total then 20%). Wow! So easily affordable compared to paying 40% upfront due to 60% LTV if buy resale or completed units!

which agent is doing this launch?
I'm very sure 1bd will not be 1.2m. so there is no need to talk about 4k for 1bd rental.Originally Posted by Jadey
What is far more likely is 8xxk for a "SOHO" aka Studio, 1.1/2m for a 2bd, and 1.6/7m plus for a 3bd.
Do you all think the above numbers will be a sell-out ?
( notice I didn't fill in the size.. I think size does not matter here. The quantum does. Developer will fit in the size necessary to achieve the required margin)
(btw I think agent is ERA)
I vote that this price range will be a sell out...and yes...size does not matterOriginally Posted by amk
Sure anot?Originally Posted by Komo
if price range same as that one in ponggol ... yet design and location so much better ...sure sell like hot cakesOriginally Posted by devilplate
they better launch quick before cm6
Duno leh....i dun like bishan, amk area.....hate to travel cteOriginally Posted by Komo
The design....hmmm nid to see the showflat and model first
still got cm6? Resale px oredi dropping.....expect another px drop in mar again
Got a feeling this will be a quick sell at 1400-1500psf, the factors of new condo, mbs designer, MRT, mall, central location, good sch, etc makes this irresistible to rich upgrades which are aplently around that areas of amk, bishan, tpy, sergangoon. If centris can do 1500psf, I doubt this will be lower, so my take is this will be at ave 1600..imo
Centro...not centris...Originally Posted by testtest
Centro so long haven sold out....which means its overpriced
1200-1500psf den can move fast.....any higher will be so so sales pace like bartley r
i am even more sure that a 1 bedder unit will not be in the 800k region because in the recent BT article, it was mentioned that the size will range from 680-3000sqft.Originally Posted by amk
@ $800k, a 680sqft unit will be price at $1180psf?? how can that be possible? you throwing smoke ar?
Designed by Moshe Safdie, the 99-year condominium project will have 509 units across two 38-storey towers. Buyers will have a choice of apartment types, namely one-bedroom-plus-study, two-bedroom, two-bedroom- plus-study, three-bedroom and four-bedroom units. Unit sizes range from 680 sq ft to 3,000 sq ft.
1Mio for 1 bedder then??
my guess too ...Originally Posted by kane
Generous living spaces but pricey tag ah.Originally Posted by august
maybe targeting upgraders.
This is a Moshe Safdie project, so i am expecting the fittings and finishing of this project to be top notch.Originally Posted by kane
i reckon $1m (1470psf) will be the base price for 1 bedder. For higher floor units, expect to pay more, perhaps in the region of $1.2m.
I highly doubt they will have top notch fittings, e.g. d'Leedon or Interlace have mass market fittings.Originally Posted by Jadey
$1m maybe throw in some goodies or discounts will be priced to sell. High floors they will as usual likely hold back and sell at premium.
@kane: I remember d'leedon 1bedder at 600+ sqft size with planter aka balcony is quite decent. I applaud Capitaland for not succumbing to MM sizes.
I've stayed in 1 bedder service apts where the usable space is about 600+ and it's quite liveable.Originally Posted by august
so 1M for 1bd (actually since it has a "study" it's not strictly a "1bd")Originally Posted by Jadey
1.4M for 2bd
1.8M for 3bd.
acceptable ? sounds a bit high to me...
finishing most likely same as dleedon/interlace. same type of homogeneous tiles/fittings.
@kane: I have also stayed in a 600sqft apt, which has TWO (!) toilets, separate bedroom and living room. feels very spacious and nice.
CheappppppppppppppOriginally Posted by amk
when they engage Moshe Safdie to design this project, I think the intention is very clear, it will be expensive. For capitaland, they are in no hurry to clear their landbank and they are not keen in competing on price either.Originally Posted by amk
Lets hope I am wrong
yes, Centro residences...sold to date 268 out of 329, not too bad at 82%. in terms of location, being on the same NS MRT, Sky Habitat is nearer to town than Centro...so i think 1600psf is still attractive.Originally Posted by devilplate
