Just saw from the Jurong Point website, restaurants/coffee point like Dian Xiao Er, Ding Tai Fong, Haagen Dazz and Starbucks will be in the new extension, there will be a Challenger IT shop as well. Cool, could not wait for it to TOP!
No offence to the owners of Centris but I hate Jurong area. Currently staying at one of the HDB near Jurong Point. The early morning traffic and the evening traffic back home is really bad. The stretch from my house to the AYE easily takes about 20mins thanks to all the big container trucks that go to the AYE in the morning too. I really hate the traffic. Then again if you don't drive, I guess Jurong is ok.
wouldnt beacon heights be worse? Why u choose beacon heights?Originally Posted by bhowner
I chose it because of its proximity to town and the woodsville interchange which will be completed before TOP and would ease the bad traffic.Originally Posted by reggie veggie
do u thk there will be much capital appreciatn 4 BH? the psf for st michael seems low generally. Care to comment?Originally Posted by bhowner

Hi There,Originally Posted by bhowner
Which road did u take? I stay near Jurong Point too but how come the traffic I seen in the morning is not as bad as what you mentioned. Rush hour offcause there will be heavy traffic. No matter whether you stay in town or in Jurong there will be jam..
he is the truck driver lah..lolOriginally Posted by JURONG
te traffic is is really bad , stuck for 20 mins!
does who say no is just plainly lying
Though I drive a truck like vehicle (SUV), I am not a truck driver Anyway, i think it really depends on the timing u drive pass the stretch to Corporation road entrance to AYE. My timing is usually will leave the house at 745, and will only hit the expressway at 805 or so (that is a good 20min). Ironically, my travel time on the expressway from corporation road to Rochor is only 15min. Can you imagine, that short stretch of road of most prob 3-5 km takes me 20min and the long stretch of road on the highway of about 25km takes only 15min.Originally Posted by mata wear shorts
Not too concerned about the capital appreciation as this is for my own stay. If it does, it's a bonus, if not, it's fine with me. I got a high floor unit and it's the 1+1. So i get the pool view and a high floor view too. Anyway, my gut feel tells me that this area is undervalued and the property value will increase in time to come with the improved traffic there. When all the prime land in the CCR are taken up and there are not much land left for residential, the next best thing would be the city fringe area and that's when the price will start to appreciate.Originally Posted by reggie veggie
Anyone here knows what is the construction status for Centris now? Shopping Centre for sure will be open by end 2008, what about Centris? What is the TOP date?
agree with you. The areas where really really bad congestions happen are those with ERPs. Until you see ERPs in Jurong, the traffic here will never be worse than other parts of the country, so please don't exaggerate. It is also important to compare the traffic conditions especially during weekends and not just the weekdays. Imagine driving during weekends and still got jams or slow traffic. Again this phenonmenon can be seen in town even during weekends. How good can the quality of that kind of living experience be unless you don't get out of the house?Originally Posted by mata wear shorts
16th(highest level) is underway.Originally Posted by kongming

I just call up the developer, Centris will be ready around 2nd-3rd Quarter 2009.Originally Posted by kongming
Yes, that is what the developer estimates.Originally Posted by Centris Owner
I tried calling them earlier, wanting to know if I still can change my interior theme, however they told me no changes is allow now.
My previous owner did not select the theme inside, and hence the default selection is being made. Default selection just looks abit too plain for me
Anyone know the ceiling height for 16th flr corner unit, look likes the height is different from the rest. Can advice?
anyone here on progressive payment scheme? how many % have you paid so far?
So far 30% paid for my progressive paymentOriginally Posted by 1122
Can you post the payment schedule? It will help us estimate the TOP date.Originally Posted by Centris owner
One thing gd abt this developer is that themes are selectable (subsale guys, too bad).Originally Posted by kongming
Unlike a fren who stay in The Chuan. All furnishings are fixed and frankly speaking i do fine it plain too. Of cause the plus points i see is its location and its great view which we know can fetch a better price.
Could your previous owner bought under subsale too? Themes are displayed in the showroom and its part of the document he need to sign too...hmm
Hey everyone please go and check yesterday classfied many centris selling at 600 - 700 K ! this is below the developer price hurray~

only goondus will buy centris from 1st owners now.
Did you check properly? I saw several ads for centris, all selling above 600psf, there is one 2 bedroom high floor pool facing already selling 675k!Originally Posted by saw
Below developer price? oh my, pls wake up to reality, this is Singapore. I do not forsee it to drop to that level despite recent market turmoil, if there is, pls let me know, I will buy from you.
