Eight Riversuites @ Whampoa East Road (United Engineer Group LH 99 Years)

[Noexit]

What I could think of is nowadays ppls hardly cool at hm and want to have to make full use of the livable space. Open concept kitchen could make the whole place look bigger and only one disadvantage is still the heavy cooking would be harder here and traditional Chinese house owner might not like the concept as the door open to face stove is alway a bad fengshui. One thing that turn me off is the AC ledge is all over the whole unit which I think from outside look nice on the building facade but owners are wasting money to pay for these. I rem last time a agent told me that all the units are using a centralized air con system then in my mind why the need of AC ledge ?

I see an increasing trend of new developments with layouts where the kitchen is at the main entrance. Personally, I have no problem with it but I understand not all are like me.

Just curious why developers are increasingly adopting this design. Is it reflective of a new trend of preference, where more homebuyers are open to new living concepts? I mean, when I read renovation forum and there are discussions about premium luxury brand fridges being displayed in the living room near the door entrance, as a designer item akin to an expensive piece of furniture, it seems that the new living concept is catching on.

Have to agree with you. Looking at Sennett's strong sales, and their use of open kitchen layout at entrance, my take is that people are becoming more accepting of this design. The AC ledge is indeed a waste of space, but most new developments have large AC ledge anyway, so buyers can only suck thumb.

8RS is advertising its "2nd phase" of launch, trying to ride on the success of the Sennett. Wonder if it is enjoying any positive spillovers?

Thanks for e update Noexit ñ KCT~!

Comparing with nearby new launch ...
think 8RS price quite reasonable ,
United Engineers Developments Ltd (UE) had acquired this land parcel at the S$543 million (S$774 psf) ,
the breakeven cost should be around $1,200 psf.
There aren't many sites like this in GLS programme

Even Hillview Peak is priced at around same average level as 8RS. This project quite good value for money, I must say.

For Bored Piles technique, you hardly see any metal things sticking out until after the construction has started. I just knew this when RR developer sent me a letter informing me that the foundation had been completed, but when I passed by the site, little things seem to have been done.

When the contractor starts digging, you will see the foundation.

Any experts here care to comment.

Sales picked up somewhat in march, with 33 units sold compared to 16 in feb. seems to be benefitting from launches at PP.

Really? Hope the developer got deep pockets and can start building

[jpm77]

They started piling tests last year, should have completed piling works. I saw the last piling rig was demobilized, not sure whether work stopped or completed. Developer has to complete the project within 5 years from the date they got the land.

8RS no basement, should be very easy to construct. Basement alone takes 6 to 9 months to build.

8RS no basement uh?

If I am not wrong, no basement. The whole development is raised up. Swimming pool is actually at level 2. The so called "basement" connecting all blocks is at ground level.
