They cannot extend too deep into the forest. It all depends on whether it is protected land. I think currently non-forested areas can become potential condo sites (e.g, Turf City), but I doubt anything inside of RT will be.

Any idea whether AVA would come down to the condo and exterminate all the monkeys?
Re: The Raintree (D21, 99 years leasehold, Frasers Centrepoint)
Why would AVA want to exterminate the monkeys? We should try our best to live peacefully and accomodate each other. In fact, the monkeys are the original inhabitants of the rainforest and we human beings, are secondary "invaders" of their homes. To be fair, we should be the ones to be chased out (just joking ;P )
We should really try our best to accomodate them first, only if they become a real nuisance and if all things fail, then we could consider consulting AVA?
Just my thought

Are you a owner of of a raintree unit?
If you don't like monkey, I advise you to consider carefully whether you want to live there.
To me, the monkey really enriches the Nature reserve and I would not mind. I believe there is a sign board right at the entrance of Bukit drive stated clearly that "fine" will be imposed as penalty to those individuals who feed the monkeys. I hope this will work. I was surprised some one leave a whole cartoon of food (in plastic bags) at the parking lot. AVA should send in an undercover officer to catch these peoples. They are the one doing harm to the monkeys
Nope, I don't work for AVA and don't worry i am not a spy for AVA
Just making comments on how i feel
Why would you want to live among nature but get rid of an important part of it, which are the primates.
The only things I can do without are the mosquitos. Ha ha.
A word of advise, just don't feed the monkeys as they will become more daring...
as more people feed them, to them people = food
as they will assume all people will feed them and will snatch anything that you are holding on to...
Yeap... my thoughts exactly.
We are the "invaders" to monkey-land, so it is a matter of living side by side in harmony.
I hope they do a good job fogging the place. On a couple of trip on my recee to look at my place facing the slope I got bitten like hell.
The cycling trail is not meant for walking. In fact there is a sign stated clearly to warn peoples about using it as a walking trail. When you are cycling on that trail, you are moving much faster than walking and you won't get bitten. If you have been to numerous walking trails in the reserve, you should notice generally you won't have much problems getting bitten by mosquitos. I suspect that they intentionally not to control the mosquitos and small insects along the cycling trail to discourge peoples using it as a walking trail because it is potentially dangerous
Anyone has ideas for the planter? Had though that it's a balcony, but heard that the planter is a bay that is lower than the floor. So anyone know by how much is it lower than the floor? And what's your pan for it?
PS: has post similar question in http://www.condo.com.sg but have not gotten reply.
We were thinking of asking developer to put timber on it to make it a balcony.
Another alternative is to get everybody together and hire a contrator to do everyone's unit. Bulk discount mah.
Good Idea, would definitely be interested.
I mentioned in that website that there was a lot of discussion on plantar ideas earlier on. do plough thru pgs 10 to 20 , I believe .
Drove passed Gardenvista earlier and there's a banner saying.... " Choice Units Available. From $920psf "
Can't believe such a crap development can command over $900psf. Tho The Raintree does not enjoy the Bkt Timah address, the development is anytime better than Gardenvista.
Even though I will be a resident at RT , let's try not to put other developments down
Garden Vista IS district 21. In fact from Binjai up to Upper Bukit Timah is D21 already. The other side, from Tan Chong Motor onwards is D21 also. Means Nexus, Maplewoods, Cascadia, all that.Even though I will be a resident at RT , let's try not to put other developments down
Sorry I think you got cheated by your agent!
if i am not wrong, part of Dunearn rd is D11, the other part is D21. Bukit Timah rd sama sama, part is D10, other part is D21.

oh ic . I must have been mistaken . nope, not cheated . already bought RT , was just a comment. Would not have bought Garden Vista anyway, whatever the price , so close to main road and highway...
Who cares if it is D10, D11, or D21? Most importantly in any investment is buy low sell high.
Garden Vista is more convenient in terms of public transportation, including buses and taxi. Furthermore, it also has private lift lobby for many of the units. To many, this feature is only associated with more upscale condos, hence it deserves a premium added to its price.
RT is not as convenience if you take publc transportation most of the times, then again, many who bought RT is really impressed with its tranquil location and exclusiveness (has own road leading up to the condo).
When all factors are taken into considerations, in my view, RT certainly offers much better value than GV.
That goes without saying. And customers know that. Which is why RT is sold out while GV is not, even tho TOP already.
It is rather obvious RT at 650 psf is much better value than GV at 920 psf.
The difference is 270 psf. How about the difference is only 100 psf, does it make GV a better buy?
even if both cost the same in terms of psf, imo, RT is still a better buy cf to GV, all factors taken into consideration.
That was exactly what I was going to say! Pity I wasn't in the market then. If I were looking for condo back then, sure grab Raintree already.
