i only focused on the high blocks and not on the fencing. you are right, the fencing wall would have indicated this is a condo
i meant to say DBSS. and nope not sour grapes. if u read my msg, i was only commenting on whether Optima resembles BTO/DBSS. its an objective statement, not arguing whether eco is better than optima. Having said that, i have left remarks in Optima thread way before this msgthat it's a good project and the demand that pushes the psf to > 1400 says it all. Hence, I am not against OptimaOriginally Posted by thomastansb
Definitely. those who bought early easily make SGD150K upwards profit? Its right across the MRT - at least theres a road in between. Compare this to condos where the track almost eats into their "airspace" such as Modena, upcoming MM and double bay, this one is not too bad laOriginally Posted by latour
Yes agree , definitely sour grapes... Sour until blur n blind..lolOriginally Posted by thomastansb
is that HDB newly built??

Bro... it is pointless explaining yourself to these people. This forum has plenty of hantus and trolls.
They are vested in certain projects and if you even make what they deem unkind remarks on their favorite or vested project surely kena suan jialat jialat... say sour grapes, blur, blind...etc
They have forgotten that if ECO does well, it will boost Optima too. Both are good projects in my opinion... there are some points more favourable or less favourable in both projects that's all. I thought that's what this forum is about... to share these views
Ok... I have to watch out now... more suan-ing coming my way...

I really dont see how names calling can contribute and you know when the msg gets personal when the focus is no longer on the project. Well the msg you write is a reflection of your level of maturity so I tend to just skip certain msgs and go for the ones thats worthy of discussion. Dont let some give you an unpleasant experience here - I'm sure the majority of the forummers here want to engage in meaningful and collaborative discussionOriginally Posted by howgozit
Eh, I have to keep checking if I am in the correct thread ... Almost thought this is a Optima thread. Lolx!
Haaa can also check this thread too ma since theres bits of info on Optima. if u are vested in Optima, its good to know your close competitors too!Originally Posted by bakasa2002
At the present property climate it is a good competition... imagine what would happen to Optima if ECO was priced at $800psf?

When Optima was launched, people queue overnight for balloting.
Dont forget it was a sold out project!
Bro... I didn't say ECO is 1-2min to MRT, I said it is abt 2min more than than Optima.... I am not trying to put down Optima, I am just saying that ECO has its merits.
The points that are less favourable than Optima like MRT distance, is to me marginal.. of course Optima is very much closer nobody can deny that, right? but ECO is not very much further, that's my point.
I am not vested in ECO, but how can you be so sure I am not vested in Optima? or for that matter any where close by? Of course if ECO does well so will Optima and every where around there.
There are at least 4 parcels of land yet to be developed around Tanah Merah MRT, 2 will be sold by the end of this year. This area is the place to watch....

optima. Anyways you are right about the 4 parcels of land. Curious to find out more about your view on this area.
For Eco, i wonder whether the strata houses will be affected by rain water run off from the hill behind.
That ain't gonna happen ... They paid $534ppr for the land!Originally Posted by howgozit
Taking about competition and Optima's gd location, there's another 2 coming up, one opposite Optima(likely to be low rise) and one in front of East Meadows to be tender. It be interesting to see how hotly contested! Oh, there's also a reserve plot right beside Eco!Originally Posted by easteast
I am vested in the area, hence my interest. Had 2 units in the area but sold off one unit last year to hedge my bets and also to capitalise some gains. Regretting now bcoz affected by the CMs... very unwilling to pay the 3% additional.
From what I understand, URA will only sell the commercial plot once the area has reached a critical population mass. That will happen when the 4 plots are developed... timeline 4-5 years. The commercial plot will have an underground connection to the tunnel leading to the MRT.
East of this area is Changi Business Park, they will develop hotels and the new SUTD...plenty of rental potential, fully developed in about 4 years. Only one stop by MRT.
South of this area is another possible MRT station on the ERL but this is a wild card as nobody knows where the Bedok South MRT will be... speculation is the empty plot of land beside Temasek Primary school. ECO would be quite close to it 8-10min walk... again I must stress this is speculation. Announcement of ERL in abt 2years... to be built by 2020.
Beside the canal, there is a park connector that leads to East Coast Park.
So you see, I think this area has a lot of potential, but in 2-3 years it will be all too apparent to everybody. Just my view.

During the time when Optima was launched, most of the projects launched at the same time in the similar price range sold out quickly. Price is really what mattersOriginally Posted by Chillyred888
