    it reminds me of 2 years back, 2007, when Soleil started its launching there had been hundreds of posts in this Forum site.(Sombody hacked this forum site, so all of posts were gone that time.)

    At that time, so many nagetive people about Soleil and NOVENA AREA had critisized with "Hospital town" "Sars thing" "ghost town" etc, etc.
    But now look at the newspaper ads, D11 section, you will surprisingly realized that codos in Newton side, even new lauching projects also put ads with "near Novena mrt, near to USQ, Velocity, near Future medical Hub" etc.
    People`s perception of the novena has been changing rapidly than my expectation, guess convenience of Novena is getting favors for majorities and also one of reason is redevelopment of Orchard, and Novena is getting on the stretch of Orchard.

    Yes I've noticed that as well. Even Newton Road condos ads say Novena MRT. USQ & Velocity has done a great job with 2 cold storages, air conditioned eateries and kids stuff. USQ is also planning a new carpark lift.

    Really I am kind of disappointed with the Newton MRT surrounding development. Just low rise offices and then the hawker center whose only headlines has been ripping off foreigners. There should have been a balance of work, home and play facilities.

    Think soliel will be doing better than expected and sooner rather than later.

    Actually I think this condo's name is very bad.

    Firstly, everytime I have to check the spelling ... is it "Soleil" or "Soliel" or "Soilei" or "Soilel" or "Soiliel" or "Sioleil" or "Siolel"?

    Secondly, how do you pronounce it, especially to a taxi driver?

    Is it "Soh-Liao" as in Ah Soh has lost money?

    or "Soh-Liew" as in Ah Soh has run away quietly?

    or "Sor-Liao" as in Stupid guy is finished?

    or "Sor-Liew" as in Stupid guy has run away quietly?

    There is nothing wrong being an agent. Many agents (e.g. 8), some agents (e.g. 5), a few agents (e.g. 2), ... doesn't matter.

    Anyhow, if I am an agent, which is perfectly fine, you must be a sour-grape loser! Ha ha ha!

    Now go get your yourself busy in making more money from the market. Shouting and finding fault with others doesn't help.

    anyway not planning to waste time with you ... cos Teana whatever has wasted enuff of my time , making me read unrelated news

    It is bad to call someone stupid. But it is a fact to state that he is bull shitting.

    "Soleil" is from French and the meaning is "Sun".
    Correct pronunciation of "Soleil" is actually like [soleju:], but think most of people just pronounce it as it is, as [soleil], with English style.

    I thought this name is quite good and meaningful, because I am always thinking Novena is sunny with full of sun-shine.

    Different people show different reaction..maybe because of different grade of knowledge??

    I love this post. Its such a succint way of saying that he thinks jlrx is an idiot. It is classic.

    Now in response to my post, he'll probably write in to say that it wasn't his intention at all. Touche.

    I think the name is definitely one of the better ones around and very fitting. Even the alliteration is pleasing. Just a shame about the tenure, else it'll really be a gem in this entire residential zone
    Have you met my more successful sibling 'Super Potato'?

    Soleil is a cool French name.
    But I think both Wee Hur and Villas @Gilstead need French names too.
    Maybe Novena MRT station also needs a French name?

    Default Soleil vs Viva

    am looking at both

    Soleil 2 BR or 2 +1 subsale market around 1280 - 1320 psf , LH, units below 20 F

    Viva 2 BR or 2 +1 s subsale around 1600-1670 below 20 F, last units from developer (high floors) 1760 - 1800 psf approx, FH

    Not sure which one to give the preference. Access to Novena MRT seems shorter from Soleil. Any opinions ?

    Both are near to Novena MRT station. However, if you want to be very very near then Soleil is the nearer one as it is about 5 metres away.

    Next-to-MRT Soleil in CCR selling at Ang Mo Kio ($1,289 psf), Toa Payoh ($1,222 psf) and Serangoon ($1,200+ psf) prices? And some more near to 20th storey?
    Wow! Cheap man!
    I didn't know market can be so imbalanced.

    Top bid of $221.2m comes from Intrepid Investments, a unit of Hong Leong
    The Business Times
    Thursday, 8 October 2009

    Fierce competition for residential land shows no signs of abating as 15 developers submitted bids for a 99-year-leasehold site in Serangoon Avenue 3.

    This is the highest number of bids put in for government residential land so far this year. The last three tenders had drawn 12 to 13 bids each.

    The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) closed the tender for the Serangoon site yesterday, and the top bid of $221.2 million or $529 psf of gross floor area (GFA) came from Intrepid Investments Pte Ltd, a unit of Hong Leong Holdings.

    Tuas Hi-Tech Park Pte Ltd, a Far East Organization unit, came in second with a bid of $195.9 million or $468 psf of GFA. The highest offer was some 13% more than this.

    The top bids for the site markedly surpassed property consultants’ predictions – they had expected the numbers to fall closer to $400-$450 psf of GFA.

    Other developers which put up offers for the site include Keppel Land, Frasers Centrepoint, Times Properties and Sim Lian Land.

    The lowest bid came from Lippo Estates, at $120 million or $287 psf of GFA. The spread between the top and bottom bids was around 84%.

    The results show that ‘market sentiments are still very positive’, says Colliers International research and advisory director Tay Huey Ying. They also reflect the attractiveness of the site, she adds.

    The plot is next to Lorong Chuan MRT Station and is close to several schools including Australian International School. It is also near Serangoon Gardens and the CTE.

    CB Richard Ellis Research executive director Li Hiaw Ho believes the site’s breakeven cost will be around $900-$950 psf. This works out to a selling price of some $1,000-$1,100 psf.

    Ngee Ann Polytechnic real estate lecturer Nicholas Mak expects the breakeven cost to reach $950-$990 psf, translating to a selling price of $1,100-$1,200 psf.

    Near the site, a 99-year-leasehold condominium, The Springbloom, has seen transactions priced from $633-$706 psf, going by caveats lodged since August.

    The Serangoon area is an established residential estate and tends to draw families which would need larger apartments. But some market watchers predict that Hong Leong may work more small units into its project to achieve the estimated selling prices.

    Also, the site’s proximity to the MRT station may draw some single professionals or potential landlords who would not mind smaller units, they say.

    This is the second government residential land tender to close since the authorities announced several measures to cool the property market last month. There was also aggressive bidding at the previous tender for a residential and commercial plot at the corner of Yio Chu Kang Road and Seletar Road. Twelve bids came in, and the top bid was 35% more than the second.

    The Real Estate Developers’ Association of Singapore said last week that it is in talks with URA to seek an increase in the supply of affordable sites outside ‘hotspots’.

    Wow didn't know viva subsale already so high.

    Take note
    Viva=FH, Soleil=LH
    Land area about the same
    Soleil # of units=427; Plot ratio = 3.5; height=36 stories
    Viva # of units=235; Plot ratio =2.8; height = 30 stories

    Soleil peak prices = $1600. So $1300 seems good
    Downside = too near to hospital which could still be a stigma although attitudes are changing.

    Err ... I think Soleil's peak price isn't $1,600 psf.

    It's $1,845 psf for the very high floor with very good view and $1,000+ psf for the very low floor with no view.

    So, when Sail go back to 3.3kpsf. Soleil at 2kpsf will be consider relatively cheap liaw... Some more.. prime is still prime.
    Err ... it seems like your prediction is getting more and more real by the day.

    Wow!
    Your prediction of $3,300 psf for The Sail is really getting closer and closer by the day.

    Guess what?
    It's now $2,850 psf!
    It's almost there.

    Maybe it is time to call agent liaw...

    No... I will wait until that condo at Serangoon Ave 3 launched. If a condo near foreign worker hostel selling around 1.2psf... Why can't Soleil selling above 2k!

    Err ... you may want to consider calling that agent after Christmas regarding your CCR/prime Soleil ... maybe next July, just like the old days back in July 2007?

    That is correct. You can see how China is spending by the scale of their massive infrastructural projects all around the mainland- this does not include the huge subsidies given to their people for property, cars and even computers. Those who qualified for the benefits are not the poor only. It is like a bloated stomach, you need to release the darn stuffs anyhow and quick !
