    Default Infinity

    They are all different in their uniqueness. Bottania is probably the most expensive. Take a look at Monterey Park too. Very well kept after 3 years and easy to get tenants. Infinity should be a hive of activity very soon and the units facing Bottania will be easily rented out

    Hello everyone. I bought my #03-xx 3 bedroom unit in Oct last year nearing the end of the price boom and start of the financial crisis for 770psf. Guess I should have waited longer before buying. But anyway... looking forward to TOP soon so I can move in

    Yes, we bought a unit when it was launched. The agent said there would be a shuttle bus service to Clementi MRT.

    2bdr costs about $600,000 in today's market, a lot more just a year ago. Lucky we bought to stay, not to flip. Heard a friend's net worth went down from 2 million to less than zero now, as a result of him being overextended in the property market. We bought only one unit and we paid cash. We don't even plan to apply for a loan. If all Singaporeans are like us, there would be no bubbles. Bubbles are created by those that borrow money to buy condos to flip. Now they are trapped with no escape hatch.

    Jialat are the ones that buy 2 or 3 properties to flip and cannot sell. I remember calling in for a unit at Domain 21 and the owner said she got low, mid, and high floor for sale and that was just at the start of the recession. I was thinking to myself "this lady is in deeeeep shit man..."

    Is there anyway we can ask sim lian to paint the condo white, as shown in the catalog? This beige color looks like blech... Look at Vis Holland... white and nice. Would be good if they can paint it white.

    I like it beige. When I first saw the new color, I even asked my wife to go and take a look. I thought it was beautiful. If you guys compare the three condos in the vicinity, carabelle looks the best, followed by the infinit. Botannia looks the worst. Lucky we did not buy botannia. We were in the showflat, and escaped right away after being quoted 700 plus per square foot. On our way home, we stumbled upon Carabelle, and it was selling for less than 600 psf. Now carabelle and botannia are being sold at about the same price, about 700 psf. the real market value for both, in my view, is about 500 psf. that is the price you can sell these condos at in this economy. thus, we have lost money just like botannia owners, but we have lost less than they have.

    Yah agree also. I thought it looks white in the brochure.....I think it'll look nicer in white......

    just a remark, i think infiniti's colour scheme looks really good....very tastefully done.

    Not true, they have always replied to our questions on the spot or call us back. The are very friendly people.

    They told us that TOP would be some time around July. they also said we have options to install different equipment than they had planned for our units.
