I believe the one Leicester cost about 1.4 mil now. How about kovan melody?

I did consider one Leicester in 2006 before but in the end bought Kovan melody.
Kovan melody 3 bedder was ard 650k that time while one Leicester 3 bedder was ard 740k at that time.

Walk through the rows of landed and come to the 2 storey shop house to get bak kut teh.

Yes. 0 amenities is a big concern. That's my concern as well. No food n retail shops nearby. Probably have to take mrt just to buy a packet of chicken rice.

About 1.3mil here there.
Both projects appreciate 2x.
But FH projects definitely more time withstanding lah.
Anyway, sold off KM a few years back.

The upper serangoon road leading to kovan has traffic jam. Good to sell it off.

Are you going in for the kill?

Nah. Even if I have money I don't do big projects (>100 units).

[DC33_2008]

Why? How about 200-300 units?

Can consider if plot is big. Dont like crowded la.

Are u buying for investment or own stay?

Am buying for self stay with my tiny nest family, but may sell in future if price is right .
Apart from future Bidadari park, there's nothing special around to shout about. Behind is flanked by Gurhas camp, sides surrounded by Bartley Sec sch and Maris Stellar, & front is open to main busy road. Mmm, compared with bartley resi BR, this locality is not on high ground. Am thinking if get a unit there, may need to cycle to nearest kopitiam abt 500m at Jln Bunga Rampai(Paya Lebar) to get a cup of kopi or drink

I actually placed a cheque for #09-11 (3br 1077 sqft). But still thinking hard about it because honestly, the layouts of most of the units are terrible and that is my biggest objection.

Open kitchen (even for 3-bedder) is my biggest peeve. And the washing machine faces the living room? Goodness...
No utility room is the other. Yes some 3-bedders come with utility room but I was told min. $1.7m so it is out of my budget.
If only they give me a utility room but a smaller balcony? Haii....

The general feel I have of this project is: it seems like the architect can't really decide what they want. So they just find spaces here-and-there to plonk in something - henceforth the 65 different floor plans....

[sunboy77]

Haii... if only the layout of Bartley Ridge comes here, it will make my decision easier. Damn sweet location but the floor plans are one of the worst I have seen.

I am surprised that a high-end developer like TS accepts such designs from the architect. It seems like location good means no need to put much effort into the design...

Hi sunboy, can u share what is the indicative psf for a mid floor 3-bedder in this project?

[sunboy77]

Hi sunboy, can u share what is the indicative psf for a mid floor 3-bedder in this project?

I understand that #15-11 (highest floor 1077 sqft but huge huge balconies + pool view + landed view) is approx. $1.55m. So maybe you minus $5000 per floor. But take note that to get pool view, minimum 8th floor.

[sunboy77]

Prices are not fantastic but I feel that they're quite ok, no doubt.

[Kanarazu]

After yesterday Sennett viewing, the prices quoted are NETT, i.e. dun think got further disc or ABSD rebate from Tuan Sing. 1 Bdr 485 sqft at $770k, 2 Bdr 711sqft $1.1m @1550psf, etc. We sufferers, slapped with 7% ABSD will have to cough out $77k and $110k respectively, to the garment, meant a lot to us .I dun think upcoming Sant Ritz will be much lower psf. Was told today 8pm VVIP cheque submission will close.

I am switching my focus to Bartley Ridge with much lower psf. However, mount vernon has zero amenities, that is a real concern, although 400m to Bartley MRT.

Bartley Ridge side gate should be just 115m to MRT entrance,main gate is around 230m which is considered super near already.

Bartley Ridge side gate should be just 115m to MRT entrance,main gate is around 230m which is considered super near already.

Biggest concerns about Bartley Ridge are:
Zero amenities.
More than 800 units in that small land.
And yet prices are not very much less that Sennett

Layout is VERY good though...

[DC33_2008]

Are you willing to add another $450k to give you a D1 unit with similar floor area , longer than 99LH and satisfy all your needs like 3 mins walk to mrt?

Yeah ! Go EG go EG go!

You can get a FH 3 bedder at one Leicester with a yard and no kitchen in living room with a floor area of about 1261sqft. .

Sorry bro. $2m is totally out of my budget.
But just curious what is this property that you are referring to? Seems interesting for other people with deeper pockets...

Sorry what is EG? The only EG I know comes from Honda.

[price]

I find it really strange that everyone seems to be missing out the mixed development coming up opposite. Bartley doesn't give u a huge shopping mall. Just thru a tunnel and you'll be at a compass point sized mall..

emerald garden, old project, but 999y LH.
