May I ask why are you selling your HDB so early before the TQ TOP. Seem like the prices still going up recently. ThanksOriginally Posted by TQ1
YES - Not enough CPF Minimum Sum...sigh.
YES - Need to get higher loan for Condo. Not worth it.
NO - I can get good rental yield. Shiok man.
NO - Other reason.

Lucky you IcekopiOriginally Posted by TQ63
okie....I urge you to register. People might use your ID to post rubbishOriginally Posted by Unregistered2
Do you mean this for planter?Originally Posted by TQ1
is it fully sealed? thought it was illegal? How does it not trap water and promote denggi?
is it possible to tile up the planter area?
Initally, I was just intended to let my agent had more time to market my flat. But I think due to the HDB price going up strongly, buyer had agreed to pay me a good COV and my preferred price. That was why I decided to sell my flat as I got no intention to hold the flat upon TOP.Originally Posted by Alan Tam

Yes. Something like that will be nice.Originally Posted by kennt
Thanks kennt but I think I do more housework than her! lol!Originally Posted by kennt
Anyway, really and I mean really looking forward to next year.
How can I check the resale or subsale or TQ? with agent or developer?Originally Posted by Icekopi
For TQ, you can always call/drop by the showflat to enquire.Originally Posted by searching
You can search for Guocoland Singapore website under Residential, The Quartz and you can find their number there.
For resales/sub sales, you should go search those classified ads(normally they have agents and their contacts).
Hope this helps!
Did you also check with the authority and developer whether will it trap water underneath the wooden plank? We do not want TQ to end up as dengue zone and everyone of us get sick. Please ensure this, very very important.Originally Posted by TQ1
I think this wooden plank may breed termite. Is ther any other better idea to cover the planter?Originally Posted by kennt
Yes. Of course we have to ensure the contractor of a certain approved type of wood materials that are suitable for outdoor as the planter box are subjected to rain and shines.Originally Posted by Alan Tam
Hope the authority will have some standard policy for owners who will like to do the above conversion.
Here are the pictures taken last weekend from my camera phone. I promise better resolution next time when i bring my camera. Enjoy!

Hi Kennt, thanks for the pictures. It is nice of you to keep everyone update on the construction progress and also the activities at the Buangkok MRT.
Thanks Kennt for posting the lovely pics. As I am currently staying pretty far away, it is not possible for me to check the status regularly. Good to see your pics here. Thanks very much!

thanks kennt for the photos. just one little question: saw a circular platform atop the building for your first photo, may i know what is that? didn't notice that previously.
Good question....initially thought that is the Secret Garden but I believe that stack doesn't have any garden. Maybe Penthouse? Anyone here knowsOriginally Posted by Unregistered2
To me, it looks like to link-way between the two blocks for the owners of the penthouses.Originally Posted by kennt
Hi all,
I was previously unregistered 2009.
I have registered myself and this is my new nick "The Truthful One".
Hey, I am interested in the wooden planks... Anyone know of good and reliable contractors? I am also worried about dengue... have small children at home.
Welcome "The Truthful One" aka "unregistered2009". Read from the other forum mentioning installing chengai wood on the side of the Koi pond. According to them, chengai wood is very heavy duty suitable for installing it outdoor even for Koi fish pond. Thus it may be good to install it at the planter box. Think have to consult the contractor on how to waterproof the surface and not allowing rain water to seep through to prevent dengue.Originally Posted by The Truthful One
is this link-way for every 2 blocks or only certain blocks? but why would they want to link the owners of the penthouses? strange.Originally Posted by TQ1
Hi all,Originally Posted by Unregistered2
From what I understand when I was at the showflat, TQ has no penthouse. If you are talking about the semicircle like ajoining the two blocks. They belong to the 2 units on the 19th floor. The layout for that 2 units seem to be a little different form the norm.
hope it is something for TQ owners in general, perhaps a linkway to all blocks on this side of the condo or something like that.Originally Posted by Icekopi
whatever it is, it actually enhances the overall architecture of TQ, not too sure if the rest feels the same?
Hi,Originally Posted by Unregistered2
I was trying to say that that part of the architecture(that semicircle) belongs to that 2 units that it is joined to. It could be their hall or room.
Think you will understand more if you are able to see the floor plan.
I love the MRT and 24 hr NTUC there.
The only thing is, dunno whether will feel lugi or not, as all the HDB there also very nice, look like condo, and they paid only a fraction of TQ price....
