These transactions were done deal more than a month ago and most likely seller now will be asking more knowing that Hundred Trees may be launched more than $900 psf.
Sigh...Originally Posted by Lucas
Very True. If units at 100 trees are launched at 900+. it will definitely push up the prices around the area... heard from agents that many owners are holding back their units...
100 trees will be marketed at $930-$980 psf. thats according to the marketing agents & soft launch will be on 24-25 sept. they will accept bookings now.Originally Posted by pinkamoon

Wow...this is fast! I believe this block is block 5, based on the facing.
This is not a true photo. The person who did this had done a convincing job. I just passed by this morning n did not see that the whole block is like what in the photo.Originally Posted by Cactus72
Hi Lucas,Originally Posted by Lucas
These photos are real. It is being photographed from the back and not the front.
At the moment, amount the 7 blocks, only one block is being shown with 85% completion.
i havent seen Parc nor 100 Trees ..Originally Posted by piaget_sg
but i roughly know their locations .. why do i get the feeling Parc is better than 100 trees ..but the general impression i get here is otherwise ... ?
for a start it is the one thats closest to MRT ...
eventually they took off their "mask"...

And what is wrong with that? It is not directly surrounded by HDB flats like Trevista or Clover By the Park, where you actually even have a HDB road address.Originally Posted by COCOCO
That is overstatement as only one side are HDB blocks. In fact, I prefer this place because it is convenient and walking distance to town centre.Originally Posted by COCOCO
Hype and novel marketing of 100 Trees.Originally Posted by proud owner
Hi all,
Would the Parc be a better buy if the price is slightly lower or similar to Hundread Trees?
Whether for investment or own stay, seem the Parc still a better a option. Any advise from the experts here?
The parc condo is not necessarily a better buy than hungry trees. All units in this condo have innumerable planters and bay windows. and many of these planters are so huge you can put an elephant in them. Usable space is therefore very limited. if they sell you at 900 psf, it is equivalent to 1200 psf if you exclude the phantom space. Plus this place is surrounded by a sea of HDB blocks, making this area not so prestigious, unlike hungry trees.
but hungry trees have its own problem, such as being closer to AYE. so on balance, I would say it they are about the same.
100 trees: better layout (more useable space), more exclusive, within 1km to nanhua, walking distance to MRT is almost the same as the Parc.
the Parc: nearier to NTUC, more convieniant to clementi MRT if you go by bus
Hmm... location wise, the parc should be better as it is nearer clementi town and mrt. certain blocks like blk 11 is within 1km to nanhua (i checked with the school). good for heartlanders like me. luckily the front view is the private houses and stadium, so, there is unblocked view.
Personally, I like hundred trees for the exclusivesness. Quite nice environment and it's quite near the hawker centre too. However, I dun like the homogenous tiles and laminated flooring they are offering. It doesn't look good. At least the parc is offering marble and timbre flooring....
To sum up, location still plays an important part in my decision making. Not everyone in the household drives. I prefer to stay nearer the mrt station.
I just went to ckeck the map, it seems hundred trees walking to mrt is must closer... you may check..
I reaslised one thing, The parc has almost 700 units ..hundred tress has about 396.. i think in terms of value and comptition when selling HT may has an edge.. But then again it will top 2014.. still long way to say what willl happen.. But lets see what URA will make out of Jurong .. remember 10 years plan.. I was at URA maxwell road saw a lot of interesting development designed for the Jurong areas..
Map may not be accurate as it may not take into account indirect route, actual walking is the best gauge of distance.Originally Posted by james8899
No doubt that Hundred Trees is the best among the four new condos (Carabelle, Infiniti, Botannia and Hundred Trees) there. That's why CDL is successful in selling it at such a high price.Originally Posted by yinghere
Each is entitled to his or her opinion. But I think hungry trees are as bad as the infiniti, which is far worse than carabelle and botannia.Originally Posted by Cactus72
I bet many options to buy hungry trees will lapse.
I agree with you only heartlanders will like to send their kids to nanhua, where neither the teachers nor the students speak any english. We live very close to nanhua, but we would never send our kids to nanhua.Originally Posted by pinkamoon
I thought Nan Hua has a much higher A* & A % for english as compared to the National results.. ..Originally Posted by stalingrad
Yes, they can write in english, but they speak to each other in chinese. ris low is probably a nanhua graduate.Originally Posted by Number_9z
Funny, I come from an English speaking background and a certain school in SG famous for students failing Mandarin, to me all Chinese speaking are "ching chongs" but now as an adult I find that many avenues are shut due to not being proficient in Mandarin.Originally Posted by stalingrad
You are one of many many Singaporeans that are good at neither chinese nor english. No offense, your writing suggested that your school never taught you grammar, as is the case for most singaporeans who graduated from the primary school system.Originally Posted by xebay11
Ha Ha sorry to burst your bubble, but you English grammer is not that hot either and neither is your comprehension of the English language, you are drifting off topic and not posting to the point I am making.Originally Posted by stalingrad
My point is, if you will continue to shun Mandarin, you will lose out in the end, you may continue to mock me but everyone can see that you are the ultimate loser. Many people from all over the world are trying to learn Mandarin, like it or not and there is nothing you can do about it.
In the world of business, it is better to be half assed at both languages and reach out to a wider audience of people than be a mono lingual with a narrow audience.
BTW I am not really Singaporean. Shhhhhhh.......
