How is rental yield here? 3%?

[stalingrad]

yeah to be frank abit disappointing but location still most important, i guess already top?

worse than my crabybelle. haha.

[devilplate]

Wah liu....looks like my standard too low

[DC33_2008]

How far is this development from AYE?

worse than my crabybelle. haha.

[Lovelle]

prices were moving up pretty fast then.

if u were looking at the 1044 sq ft during VVIP preview 1st day 1st block, i have an old caveat record: #26-06 1514psf 8 Jun 09 (prob bot in apr very 1st VVIP).

by say the next week when they launched 2nd block, prices were significantly higher.

BUT even #29-06 bought at 1582psf in 25 may 09 caveat was flipped for 1800psf in a 2 dec 09 caveat. so its unlikely that any 2 bedder was sold above 1800psf during the launch.

Hi bros,

Is this mpr build after new road call st martin road? I remember agent say prestige road, dev bot the road.

[hopeful]

worse than my crabybelle. haha.

hmm, Stalingrad, we all know you think your Carabelle is the best.
So far, i dont think anybody has asked about your opinions on 2nd best, 3rd best condo that you know and/or have seen.
Hence, I would humbly beg for your opinion which private condo is 2nd and 3rd best and in what way does the 2nd and 3rd best lose out to Carabelle.

I humbly awaits your lessons.
(perhaps there is no 2nd and 3rd best, there is only Carabelle)?

Hi bros,

according to sales agent at that time, developer bought the land to make a road. After road construction, developer will hand over to government for upkeep and maintenance. So it is not a private/prestige road exclusive to MPR owners.

Not bad. But ordinary fixtures.

Look ordinary, more like OCR condos' fixtures..., project by FCL...would expect more from them..., guess paying for location

my condo is not the best, not even the second, not even the 10th best. my condo, according to my close perusal of all condos, is number the 199th best. martin place is worse than the 199th best condo in Singapore.

looks like you are very experienced, having perused closely more than 199 condos.
So in your book of knowledge, which is the no1,2,3?
In what way is 199th better than 200th and 201th?

For 2-3bdr, i prefer normal stove wif glass top
If nid to cook full meal, normal stove better

For 1bdr, induction stove for me

MPR looks quite gd liao (at least from the pics), as gd as cosmopolitan.

iirc buyer got choice of marble or full oak parquet flooring which can be quite nice for own stay.

Sg weather too hot

[DC33_2008]

Also depends on the source of marble. Was in Empire Hotel and Country Club Resort in Brunei recently. Fittings are 21k gold plated and the marble is really good quality from Italy.

[danielchow]

Maybe i am biased since that my unit after all haha, but frankly I thought the finishing are pretty nice...

Reason I got it.

big land size 140k sqft, block sits only 20% of the area.
One of the biggest swimming pool ive seen
Can have 2nd car allocation free
low monthly maintainence at $300 for 2 bedder
Big Omani marble fittings in living living and both washroom walls
Efficent layout. 1044sq feels very spacious for living room and masterbedroom especially

Things I dont like
Gas stove instead of induction
Wish it came with digital door lock then the normal key system
yard area small, washer dryer on the left and rubbish chute on the right


Upload some more photos here

2 floor of basement carpark





From behind the central entrance water feature



Driveway exit




Ok the cabinet color is quite off. but I thought the quality is pretty good






Common toilet with shower stall and rain shower




I loves the marbles tiles but ahte the rain shower head design



Entrance into the master bed room. Glass door into washroom




bulid in appliances



Kitchen top




Living room view #1



Living room view #2



Swimming pool






feel free to comment frankly. feelings will not be hurt haha

[august]

yes i think it is pretty nice! (frm the pics at least)
or maybe devilplate and my std too low haha

[DC33_2008]

Nice place. You are a lady?

[danielchow]

I didnt think much about the fittings, but if compared to my current place at the sail, my layman's feel like that its far better. just commissioned a design firm

and no i am not a gal!

[maisonjai]

wah....when did miele become "normal" ??

yes, Sail finishing is poor, confirmed! oops

[DC33_2008]

Sail was launched at $1000psf? How about this place?

[danielchow]

its true... mpr fittings are much better than the sail! i had to hack down and replace almost everything before i move in the sail haa. even replaced the flooring totally.

[danielchow]

i know why you asked if im a gal. no the red birkin is not mine!

[danielchow]

1400-1500 in 07

[DC33_2008]

Sail even got large column in some living rooms.
