SINGAPORE: Singapore's first-ever deluxe executive condominium (EC) at Upper Serangoon attracted more than 1,000 visitors on its opening day for e-applications.

Several young couples and families thronged the sales gallery of the 394-unit Heron Bay.

Developers said they had expected a high turnout rate as the EC offered several premium features including living rooms with private jacuzzis and a sea-sports recreation centre.

The launch date for Heron Bay is on 26 October

hdb 1 million all will follow...

[azeoprop]

Hrmmm....both Heron bay and riversails are trying to market luxury facilities and fittings for a "value" price to offset the lousy location.

[ikan bilis]

hmmm... if i get one, i will use that jacuzzi as my goldfish tank ....

[kane]

The luxurious finishing don't really cost that much more.

Wow... 1.5 mil!
If deluxe EC means price is higher, they should consider raising the income ceiling for these units.
If one earns 12k per month, he should not be spending 1.5 mil on the PH .

goldfish or piranha? rear piranha, invite your enemies over to your house and while they are bending over the edge of the jacuzzi in living room, push them down

I am very conservative when it comes to buying property.
I believe one must buy within his means.
I believe that one should not spend more than 5 times his annual income on a home.
So if he earns 12k per month, that's 144k per year and that's less than 10 times the 1.5 mil.
It's stretching his dollar too far in my opinion.

Like i said before, raising the income ceiling will allow developers to raise their prices. Nett nett, it doesn't make it more affordable to young couples.

That one...... I really dunno wat to say!

Was at Hougang central for dinner just now. Saw this China guy and his wife looking at the Heron Bay book with all the floor plans. The wife was staring at a page on a layout for super look. Was very curious which layout they were look at. When I finally saw it, it was a 5+1 penthouse.... Heard she told the hubby, we made the right choice.....

Damn rich sia. New citizen aiming 5+1 penthouse.

[kane]

5+1 Ph? How much is that?

[kane]

they have a stack of 5 bedders it seems. but i wonder how do they cramp all that into 144sqm.

There is something very wrong with HDB system. Tax payers are subsidising middle-class to buy luxury ECs, particularly for new citizens.

I maintain, as in my earlier posts early this year before all the sensation stories came out, that Singapore is in a mess. We seem to be heading in the wrong direction.

That will be luxurious fishing.

[ikan bilis]

cannot find jacuzzi in floor plan ??...

anyway,... all the floorplan looks shiok,... all looks not bad to me... all space utilised...

They are also tax payer...and new citizens are citizens...if not, should they be called secondary citizens? We shouldn't have variations...

But u make a very good point, tax payer money should be subsidizing basics...not luxuries....I don't think EC is Basics!

[kane]

Agree, no need to subsidy EC. Afterall, they could be drawing close to $10k per month.

then I'm really confused what exactly is ec? sub standard low quality condo?

I call it a condo that is governed by HDB rules. EC has MOP like all HDB flats. Cannot sell or rent fully within 5 years.

I would buy it too .. it's 2841sqft for $1.5mil.. Roof terraces are good! Own BBQ area and landscaping..
I think that's crazy good price!

Nope...it will be the Fish live in luxury.
Can you imagine.. every morning.. the fish wait for you to turn on the jacuzzi to massage their bodies... like living in a resort.
