Aiyo, this u hiam, I think satisfying your needs going to be siong. Sim Lian grew from being hdb contractor. If u go to all their showroom, design is almost the same. They reuse their decoration, etc...
They don't engage great ID so they save on this part.
Those developer that sell fast use great IDs to give you the wow effect. Sofas are customized to fit in just nice, bed also customized. That why, when u visit, u get that wow and shiok feeling and you pass check. Hahahaha.
I expect QBay to be higher. If they drop the bomb on me and sell at 900 psf, really, I no prob, I just buy 1 more at QBay. This I am serious.
Your only choice now is to go for old units where the design is more functional and size is bigger.
Bro, I understand how u feel. Whenever I go show room, i
and say, how to stay in? Then I discovered - hey, I not staying wat, my tenant going to stay wat. Then I buy. Hahahaha
