Well, what's the problem ? Go and buy PI if you have minerals for that .. "Every frog boasts the swamp it's living in" goes the saying ...

better project - residences@evelyn . and alot of projects now emulate the name residences.....
we will wait for teddy bear to search internet for bullets to defend his PI
did i say defend.....
ladyhill@orchard doesnt need to defend
any 2 bedder for sale
and just read that res@evelyn has some green award. hope that will cut the maintenance fees.....
viewed one unit n agent mentioned that maintenance fee for 2 bedder 1033 sq ft is around $200.
most owners not flippers unlike PI, hv holding power.Originally Posted by dmonddd
U hv to wait awhile. agree with dmon, stability in prices. if u offer $1600psf, no one is selling.
see latest 2 newton one psf transacted > 1475-1525psfOriginally Posted by richie$$$
one unit with good view asking 1900 psf
others around $1600psf
and others kept commenting that its next to highway. but didnt realize exclusivity of project ....arrgh beyond reach
if u throw 1700psf may not get to buy alsoOriginally Posted by dmonddd
no 1 wants 2 sell
Got lah, people asking $1550 psf for lower floor units (not so desirable ones).

Cannot tahan (take it) the noise from the roads beside this estate. I were on the 20th floor sky garden and on the 7th floor and the noise are astonishing even during the day (even with the windows closed I can still hear). I can't imagine what it will be like at night when all around is quiet except the vehicle noise from the roads.

Sorry, posted in wrong thread - below refers to Newton One... (Res@Evelyn has no sky garden, although it is so nice to have one)

When Trilight comes up, many of the units facing Trilight will be blocked and we are not sure whether there will be arrows shooting at these Res@Evelyn units (very bad feng shui).
I would regard those facing Trilight as better facing units. Those facing Evelyn Road will be facing West sun directly and will be hot like hell in the afternoon till midnight!

PI proejct also die lor..
master teddy bear, die lor...cannot buy projects in D9,10,11 esp. orchard. one facing another and quite close to each other..
in hong kong- master teddy has to stay in kowloon.
east coast also cannot stay...same for tanjung rhu
PI worst still...either blocked by stacks within own project or projects surrounding PI..
owners hardly want 2 sell
1 mth 1 or 2 units 4 sale
blue chip.
dmon saw 1 unit 4 sale....1033sqft
1600psf++
surprisingly i hear from agent that trilight site has cleared all tractors
Not sure if blue chip status will last once the 2 towers of Trilight are erected. One of the R@E tower will be blocked all sides (Newton Euro, Trilight, OneNewton, Dunearn, Setia Residences). Now is the best time to sell if you want my opinion.Originally Posted by richie$$$
doesnt matter as most projects are close to one another..Originally Posted by andy
most important is the location. HK is even worst but prices are much way above that of SG
sadly i can not afford any in newton
other surrounding projects are not having great views as well.
And afternoon sun is another factor to consider. I have seen two units before and noted that the place is well maintained for a 2-yr old condo.
And most occupants are expats. making it a good investment. coupled with its 1-km close to two ACS schools would make it attractive for locals.
Have you seen the great view from surrounding projects? e.g. Park Infinia stack 9 above 25th level and no West sun in front. Unfortunately none from R@E with no West sun.

sadly PI is highly densed...i still prefer R@E to PI.Originally Posted by teddybear
as you move further down from orchard to newton road then towards novena, the prices surprisingly dropped. In developed countries, this is logical and commercially sensible. it's not the other way round, i.e. inflating prices from changi to orchard....

Not sure I totally agree (see data for similar floor area) since proximity to MRT and amenities are also considerations.
Are you sure? Let's look at the cold hard facts:
(we have to factor in floor level and facing and size of units - Both seem almost same to me, which means Residences @ Evelyn has no price premium to Park Infinia despite before so-called "more exclusive" with 200+ units vs PI 486 units. In fact, Newton Suites, being much closer to Novena MRT station, is transacted at higher prices than R@E which is closer to Newton MRT station).

so what does that tell us ??
people are paying high prices without realising ? or people are only willing to pay higher for newer development ?
or people are being 'cheated' by developers ?
why are all the newer projects costing mroe ? has construction cost gone up ?
or are buyers stupid ?
