    This is basic knowledge for anyone who purchased private properties. During conveyance, the solicitor would have updated buyers on this. Not sure why you insist that no action can be taken until LEGAL completion. And you still dare ask people to prove you wrong????

    Hi Megaclaw, thanks for the update. Dropped by The Florentine site yesterday but didn't really catch the playground site. Saw the name of The Florentine being pasted on the wall between the side entrance and car entrance. Quite badly done... not very impressive! One of the "E" has dropped off in "THE FLOR NTINE"!

    Hi Dark Knight, cool down. Wow, impressive! You really do your homework and got the facts right... not like others who just speak for the sake of speaking! Anyway, one point proven... Empty vessels make the most noise! Ha... Ha... Ha! Well done, Dark Knight! Thanks!

    Proven wrong!
    There's more to it than clause 16, missed the intent of clause 12 altogether.

    Roxy also has Space @ Kovan project? I think there are many individual roof-top swimming pools, maybe it could be more problematic...

    Congrats... I think this project took some 3 years for completion, the longest duration for a small development I've seen.

    Do share the living experience in this development. I actually gave this project a miss after going to the showflat (2 different ones) and submitted the cheque but kana rejected coz it was too low and decided not to pursue staying here. After looking at the completed structure, felt that its a little too congested and squeezed from the outside! Any comments?

    The kitchen is quite small and can't put a mid size fridge. The balcony is pretty long and spacious. The bedroom 1 and 2 are pretty small.

    One share is S$40. A typical 2 bedder is allocated 6 shares, so the monthly maintenance for a 2 bedder is (S$40 X 6) + 7% GST. A bit high if compared to other Condo development but The Florentine has only 34 units... that's why the higher monthly maintenance fees bah...

    Would like to ask all the proud owners here how long did this project take from the completion of brick wall (45% of progressive payment) to TOP (85% of progressive payment)? It just felt that this project was really slow? For a project this size, it should not take more than 6 months? But I think it was longer for Florentine?

    Ya, agreed. This project is really very very slow. As you mentioned before, it took 3 years for Roxy Homes to complete this project which some other developers might only need 6 months to a year! Well, I believe this project got its challenges too as it's not really a big plot of land and they need to squeeze in 2 block of apartments. Also, there's quite a number of contractors being changed hands during the construction phase. Anyway, happy that it has obtained T.O.P liao.

    Is The Vision quite slow too? I mean, like it was launched more than 1 year ago but hardly any construction activity at the site. Some more, it is an empty piece of land and not some enbloc sales.

    Conversely, The Minton abt 1.5 years from launch, it is already up to 3rd or 4th storey liao and its such a huge development!

    Hi Active,

    Thanks for checking... Nope, not moved in yet... Still got a number of things to rectify... Quite a lot of defects from the contractor and also needs to do a bit of renovation work. Ya, the gym is not ready for used yet. Overall, still okay lar, a small development... so nothing much to expect from... The Swimming Pool is ready but haven't find time in it yet...
