Skies Miltonia @ Miltonia Close- 99 Years By TG Development

What's the ceiling height for MR and SM?

MR: 3.1 to 3.5 for the average units and up to 5.3 for certain ground floor units.
was interested when it was launched but waited too long to decide.

SM: I am not sure.

The premium cost more than the compact just for the extra toilet and a yard which its not really worth it. Skies is one of the few condos where it makes sense to have a balcony.

I supposed you gotten lvl 12 based $1.2mil?

For the extra toilet in the kitchen, i am wondering if anybody has tried sealing up the toilet and converting into a storeroom, build some cabinets or whatsover?

I did for my previous house. Seal the wc man hole and use it as laundry room

that is nice. can you take it one step further and inform PUB, then no need to pay the toilet fees for that toilet?

Actually, if expat families want to rent, Shaughnessy would be the choice, and based on the selling price of 1.8M, its a better investment if you want to consider SM Townhouse. Many of the expat teachers I know in International schools go for space. They would also love MR's high ceilings.

I beg to differ, I do know shaugnessy owners who bought skies and joined the fun on preview day!
MR is also good but too bad I missed it, so bite the bullet to take skies.
Actually I believe the views units will be at advantage at least for me given the high price, I would insist on getting one with good views in a quality project.

The ceiling height of skies should be 2.8 or 2.9m.

....you have every right to differ, no need to beg-lah......good luck then.

Haha, It is just a phrase lah, You're thinking too deep unless you are guilty as charged?

[danntbt]

Haha, It is just a phrase lah, You're thinking too deep unless you are guilty as charged?

....guilty of what? ....thinking deep helps makes wise decision....... open mindedness also important..........buying property entails risk, nobody is infallible, look at Mr basic....making mistakes are good too if we learn from them...and we can afford them. Overly emotional and over reliant on guts feeling without knowing enough of the market can be risky, making it too much of a gamble. You have thrown the dice, just hope the numbers are favorable.

[Cryingfreeman]

that is nice. can you take it one step further and inform PUB, then no need to pay the toilet fees for that toilet?

Yes I did save $3 per month $36 per year X 2.5years =$91 before I sell it

Wow! What was that for? Now's who getting over emotional? haha
Don't get so worked up!! I am not even worrying, told you I'm confident!

If not to my favor then just stay since Fengshui master also bought, Fengshui must be benefiting owners there and he can help me out at my unit as well and many other units.

I think the developer need to pay a big fee to the FS master for buying an unit there.

I forgot to add, even a FSM bot an unit there, it does not mean all units there are good. It depends on the facing, your own life reading etc.

The unit could be good for him but very bad for u

[lajia]

I think u can talk to the developer, converting it into a store room would be wise and save $$
Imptly, u don't need to wash them

I have done that before...

cool i think i will do that
not to save the $$$ lah, need more space in the MM 3BR apartment
but since already removed toilet, might as well save on PUB

if indeed FS was the starting point for the developer as part of the marketing plan, most likely they give him super discount. just like david beckham "bought" a few units in dubai - palm, and then everybody follow.

but if it was the FSM who ownself "discovered" the good FS and nothign to do with developer, then i dun think much impact.

well we can check the caveats once they are out.

and you are right, not all units will have good FS. it depends on the direction. currently period 8, there are indeed some directions in SM that are good, but not all.

one last word from the fengshui master "sell your unit and get mine"
300k up.

sorry jacelyn... is top up.

Hahaha, your imagination sure runs wild.
He has a dual key unit there which he may wants to stay there and rent/sell at the same time so more practical to earn here and there at skies instead.

Maybe those who doubt his purchases can check with relevant Govt authorities, don't see why Developer has to risk given that the Fengshui master bought after preview day!
As far That I am concern, My unit has good Fengshui.

hi, did you have any problem with the sale? i mean... some people will say that they need the toilet. so find excuse to cut your price

[Nighttrain]

Yes .. My buyer made me build back the toilet bowl and the floor before I hand over the unit to him as part of the sale.. Need to hack the wall to find back the conceal pipe to install shower mixer

Here's a map of land-use under MP 2008:

Grey-Airport
Maroon - Businesses
Peach - Residential
Light Green - Park
Dark - Green - Natural Vegtation/Reserve
Yellow - reserve
Blue - Commercial
Light Blue - Water
Red - Worship

[Shanhz]

thanks.. look like the shopping centre that was promised diagonally oppo SM is actually place of worship

[Noexit]

But I think end of the day U could always chose not to sell if they want you to make good back the orginial part. I am sure there will be some other buyers out there will be very interested in Ur interior desgin

sorry i see salah. should be "reserved site"

[Shanhz]

100% Confirmed. Gems international school is coming to Yishun. Some changes to masterplan 2008. I know where is the exact location. Will announce very soon.

Thanks lifeline & aang.

where can we find the changes to the masterplan 2008?

[Shanhz]

based on contract dates cut-off on 1/11/12:

average prices for:
1BR: 1103psf (excluding one outlier)
2BR: 1011psf
3BR: 1021psf (excluding 2 outliers)

should expect psf to go up as these are the early birds.

[einnoc]

may i know what is outlier?
Did u buy SM too?

[Shanhz]

may i know what is outlier?
Did u buy SM too?

1BR outlier - 911psf for 624sqft (level 1)
3BR outlier - 1233psf for 1076sqft (level 11)
879 psf for 1098sqft (level 1)

looks like level 1 have very low psf due to PES.

btw fengshui master got his penthouse very cheap - 729psf for 2863sqft. $2,088,000, nice price too.

yah, me too, another sucker who bought overpriced D27.

[danntbt]

Not sure where this 300k come from but during VVIP, for 3bdrms, the 7th floor should be ard 1.13mil. Every lvl up is in incremental of 20k. Even so downpayment at 5% is only 55k+.

Also taking reference from Eco Santuary, some info from the kind forumers there showed that the indicative price for the 3bdroom is 1.18mil. Very similar size and layout with SM as well. How would SM compared to Eco then?

Eco

SM

Big chunks of space taken out for Master bedrooms' balcony, Bomb shelter and longer corridoor to bedrooms for Sky.
Reservoir view for premium units.
Aerospace noise? Lentor Jam.
Upcoming Mall.
Upcoming developments in surrounding sites.
V shape site layout - middle blocks might feel enclosed by the two side wingts for mid/lower floors.
Sky Gym.
Orchid CC.

ECo seems more space allocated for interior- living/dining.
No Bomb shelter.
3.5m ceiling
Additional Master Bathroom door opens to balcony?
Forest view for higher unblocked units.
BKE noise? ..and some say insects noise.
Petir/Diary farm exit to BKE Jam?Upcoming mall.
Upcoming developments in surrounding sites.
Spaced out blocks, especially block C.
sky deck with link bridge between Block A and B.


Both have small and dark kitchen with no yard....

Think ECo with better facing and higher floor might cost cost more based on indicative price, so which is better?
