Why not? There is a back gate to NUS Kent Vale from Clementi Park. Go walk yourself and time it. Why drive when walk is faster and beats the jam on the road.

You can do business in SOHO unit but must get URA approval. Condo is for residential only.Originally Posted by Juniper

does anyone know why FEO is able to convert part of the site into a serviced apartment when the plot sold by URA was stated as residential purpose only?

Buyers or potential buyers need to ask FEO are these service apartment within the development come under the strata title? If so, FEO might have purchased them under one of their company and manage them as service apartments. Buyers will also need to find out does the company which buys these apartments pay the same management fees? Does the company holds the majority of the total share values? Is it legal to operate service apartment within a strata development?Originally Posted by Poloclub

(e.g. 50m lap pool)
However for expenses related to limited common property (which are area only accessible by condo/soho/th owners e.g the sky garden or pool), FEO will not get involve.
Not bad for one that faces the refinery & container port.Originally Posted by Ringo33
Under the LSTA, FEO will need to pay for the maintenance of common property according to the share vales of the units owned. As such, all common property will be shared among all units within the strata development.Originally Posted by Poloclub
With FEO having more than 50% of total share value, FEO will have will have the majority and thus final say in future maintenance matters including en bloc sale.
I would be uncomfortable buying into such development if residents have no say in the maintenance of the estate.
IIRC, not all common property are shared with the Oasia West serviced apartment. I think only the 50m lap pool is shared.Originally Posted by Leeds
I guess having FEO as the majority owner of the project can be both good and bad because ultimately they will also need to ensure that that the place are will maintain. But like you said, when the development is due for en bloc, things might get tricky. Then again, at this kind of price, en bloc will be many many year away. Also I dont think FEO will ruin their reputation to short change their customers and neighbors.

If this is the case, then it should be under different strata for the two developments within the same estate. However, you mentioned that FEO have more than 50% of the total share values, then it appears that there is only one strata. Need to find out in greater details.Originally Posted by Poloclub
FEO being the majority can come up with by-laws and put other residents at a disadvantage. FEO can also raise management fees and sinking funds as they see fit. Residents being the minority will have no say in the final decision.
Would you want to buy into a small development of say 20 units where one of the owner own 12 of them?
from what I heard, initially this is a residential plot but FEO sold them a new concept and able to lobby to change the residential plot to commercial plot.
Good or bad to be proven but surely this is the first in Singapore. residents can reqest conceige service from service apartment F&B - so maybe tenant should be happy.
Far East owns Oasia Hotel next to Novea mrt and my guest loves this hotel. Rate is around 250 per night. So rental is big business now.
so much for the enjoyment of privacy and exclusivity?!Originally Posted by rattydrama
last I heard fr fe agt on 1st day of launch is that svs apt will not share any of the facilities with the condo/ soho/townhouse. it'll be managed as a seperate entity with the service apt taking 30% share of the land. probably they've changed their again?
also, not much info given by fe on the service apt. when u ask them more qns on the service apt, they will only reply u with their std "service apt's plan yet to be confirmed. our mgmt still in the midst of concluding thgs. anyway, the svs apt is separately managed. so it will not affect the condo".
