And that's why it quickly sold out during its launch last year when economy was very uncertain with Citi and AIG threatening to crash and burn.
    I believe developer make less then 100psf per unit.

    I share the same sentiment. I pass by this place every day. real ugly office looking bdg, with no "home" feeling. Not for own stay for me. Buy to flip only.

    Why be bothered about the external facade of the building! It is the inside that counts! The interior finishings of the Arte has been the best I've seen in all the D12 developments (including Cube8, Vista Res, I-Residences...). I am also impressed by the amount of open space around the development and the pool actually looks to be a decent sized. I think if you bought a inside facing unit at launch - you would have really got a gem of a buy...

    Default Beg To Differ ...

    The Arte apartments have huge (and given all the reasons in my earlier post) quite useless balconies w/- planter. The "classy" feeling will not be enhanced by these primarily being used as clothes drying areas. Regarding the finishes - have you seen an actual apartment? I have.
    People, please remember that some or all of you will desire tenants to live in this gloomy grey, noisy cement box and therfore all aspects of its envoronment need to be considered. If, however, it is just another thing to be "flipped", there is no need to care.

    You mean the showroom. The actual apartment isn't ready so it's kinda hard to judge at this stage. Anyway, I'm not vested here. Just curious as to what it is about Arte that draws such strong condemnation from some quarters.

    how did u see actual apartment? are u with the main contractor or sub contractor or architect company? what part of the finishing u don't like or think is sub standard?

    i agree that the grey colour is not nice, but then again which condo is not a cement/concrete box these days? there will be many concrete boxes in that area soon... in fact all along the pie u see them.

    It is not the colour, but the ugly facade of the building - Some people say look like office tower or HDB. Think looks more ugly than the HDB in Punggol.
    + there is the PIE just beside it (too noisy).
    + The road to Arte (jalan datoh?) always jam like hell during peak hours.

    Not that ugly lah. At least it stands out from the generic all-glass facade. Concrete/brick that can "breathe" is more suitable for our hot and humid climate. And concrete/brick building can withstand the elements better. Those glassbox building will have leakage problems within a few years. Anyway, it's not uglier than the new developments today.

    I don's think it is fair to say the facade of Arte looks similar to HDB flats but it does look a bit like office. I agree too with the rest of your points.

    It is quite jam pack at jalan datoh and around Balestier/Thomson junction.

    But some people like lah... it's not too far from Novena mah

    I was driving along Thomson Rd just now, heading towards town, when I suddenly saw this big angular looking black building dominating the skyline. Quite modern-looking, I thought.

    So I took a detour and turned left into Balestier Rd, turned left again to go into that small street. Hmmm what condo is it? Finally spotted the name plate on the substation. The Arte!

    Not beautiful, but definitely not ugly lor! Last time sold at $800 psf, by CDL, looks like a modern boutique hotel. Aiyah.... should have bought it then!

    Any news on TOP?

    It does seem ready. I wonder how the construction at cube8 and vista will affect the owners of Arte.

    this is the concorde, bright bldg + balestier court sites combined rite?
    i guess this will also be a D11 proj, since the entrance is along thomson road and not entrance from balestier?
    at 1500psf? wow... where u get your mkt intel? CDL started marketing already?

    i think will TOP in july/aug.
    Arte owners will have to put up with construction noise/dust man - behind them got Vista, in front got Cube.
    price to pay for being 1st mover.

    Do not quite like the finishes. Sorry, it is just my opinion. The particular layout in the propertyguru does not look appropriate with the length of the kitchen probably facing the living room and balcony. Wonder how is the noise from the traffic on PIE?

    No vested interest. Look forward to the new CDL project at 368. External design is so much better.
