i think this project is in serious trouble...only less than 20% sold...even if the developer start to offer huge discount.....i wonder if there will be buyers?
Serious trouble when there is significant interest rate rise, or economic recession.
For foreign developer, they are given up to 2 years from TOP to sell all units under the singapore law. No hurry.
Wait for hillview MRT to open in 2016, by then no one will say $1300psf is expensive.
But without covered walkway from Skywood to Hillview station, it's difficult for many to walk 600 metres under hot sun.
Quite a nice location. Quiet and peaceful. Units facing bukit timah is selling fast.

Which condo would you recommend?
Skywoods highly recommended. A simple question most ppl w ask: is it near mrt? Answer is yep for Skywoods but not for Foresque, TreeHouse and Eco Sanctuary.
Also, it's much more quieter if that is what u desire.
It doesn't take much to know it doesn't look like HDB. Out of these 4, Eco probably look more like EC.
Skywoods is the closest to Bukit Timah reservoir. And no expressway in front of your block.
Best choice!!!

Luckily, ppl are not blind. They can see the design and judge for themselves.
Why buy skywoods with that price if u want near MRT buy, sky habitat or other condos which are more iconic.
Maybe u can ask the developer why the guard house is AFTER the gates huh? What kind of security is trying to provide since it's the best of all 4 condos. lol
Well, do allow me to explain. The guardhouse. Similar concept with hotel lobby. What u r seeing as after the gates is actually the lobby.
I believe Eco Sanctuary is too copying Skywoods with the guardhouse location. Dun be bias friend!!
Out of the 4, eco gives the best interior. It is also seems to be the most spacious as it only has 3 blocks.
If you prefer a quiet location, Skywoods perhaps is the choice. Hard to find condos in ORC that is located in a quiet and peaceful area.
If you loves trees at your residence, tree house is the top pick. Plentiful and beautiful landscaping, also has the highest vertical garden. But tree house friends say maintenance fee is on the high side.
Let me provide my view
If u want to buy tree house or forest means u have to take subsale units. Somehow I get a bit unbalance when the guy staying next door pay $500-600 psf and I pay $1000 psf. That's why tree house and forest is history to me, i won't consider subsale normally.
This left Eco and Skywoods which both still selling and building. This is also why I only compare these 2 becos both of them are still selling.
I have no reason to dislike Skywoods or favour Eco becos I have brought my unit and I brought it with my reasons (without the need to justify my purchase)
It just irk me when ppl try to provide misinformation to brother and sisters of this forum that make me want to step up and say something.
Why need to stay near MRT when one drive? Why need MRT when there is Shuttle service? There is always alternatives.....Looks like a long walk to bus stops for Skywood and MRT is not like at your doorstep.....what ever it is you sound like an agent trying to marginalize other development...first condemn the area for dengue....now suggest the rest are far from MRT....FYI the other 3 has buses running straight to Orchard and Toa Payoh ....taking around 20-30 minutes depending on traffic....of course during peak....cars also take longer to get to your destination.....good luck to your sales...hope it picks up soon....

...hahha I know its a personal choice to want a new house over resale, but your logic of feeling "unbalance" having neighbours paying 40-50% lower than you in the same development....is ironic in the sense that you are now paying 50-60% more but still in the same neighbourhood ......

skywood can walk to MRT, sure or not? sibei far leh more like cycle & park the bike at mrt ...
Go to the downtown-line.blogspot.sg. http://downtown-line.blogspot.sg/2014/09/hillview.html
Your can have a better idea how far Skywoods is away from the hillview mrt.
Take a look at the 4th photo. Skywoods is the construction on the right, the mrt station is near the church.
The walking path beside Dairy Farm Estate, trees are lined along the walkway. It is shaded by the trees.
Oh didn't know there's blog for DTL. I sure hope it'll be completed sooner than later~
Thee aerial view does make Skywoods look near, but I drive past the site nearly everyday so it's much further to me. Plus heading back it will still be a slop up albeit a rather gentle one. Again when it comes to walking distance men and women always feel differently. Make up, heels... U get the drift
I have always been very upfront with my clients. There are many things in life nobody can guarantee, but based on my years of experience, I can pretty much assure buyers of Skywoods that among these 4 developments (ES, TH, FR, Skywoods), Skywoods will have the greatest upswing in valuation.
Location, location and location! Good price for now. I had walked myself to Hillview, abt 5-10 min. Easy stroll within nature and under beautiful foliage.
Anyway, Skywoods units are flying off the shelf so to speak as buyers can see and think for themselves.
Well buddy, it's in comparison among the four development in that area. "Neither here nor there" in your response applies to all. But yet, looking at URA's plan, no other site is available that is as close to the MRT as Skywoods. And when that area begins to develop, Skywoods residents will reap the benefits.
