$650K for 3BR?? can you find that on the sub-sale market?
I think he meant 650 psf, not 650K
For those rail facing 3-Br unit (1270 sft), I saw someone advertised for 580 psf last week
You know what kinda pricing now for those facing the greenery with no blockage? Prefer not to face the railway. Also don't like facing the pool. Thanks.
there's no perfect facing,
facing railway => noise
facing green => noon sun and mosquitoes
facing bukit timah nature reserve => mosquitoes
facing pool => too close to neighbour
facing main entrance => beside the bin centre
which do you prefer?
Re: The Raintree (D21, 99 years leasehold, Frasers Centrepoint)
Hi
I got a 2br facing greenery, not facing pool or railway track. How much would u offer?
are you a serious seller? i am looking for a 2bed room unit. 580psf?
anyone has good/reliable ID to recommend?
Re: The Raintree (D21, 99 years leasehold, Frasers Centrepoint)
Sorry, I already got offer for 650 psf.
isn't 650psf a little over killing? have mkt gone up that high for RT?
Re: The Raintree (D21, 99 years leasehold, Frasers Centrepoint)
Well, RT is a niche development. It's either u luv it or u hate it. Those who luv nature and greenery would b willing to pay a premium. IMHO.
Re: The Raintree (D21, 99 years leasehold, Frasers Centrepoint)
Compared to developer's soft launch price, yes, 650psf is on the high side. If you buy for own stay and if you like RT location, then 650psf is still not that bad compared to neighbouring condos which is asking much higher. Even 2-3 years old condo in Hillview area is now asking around this range. However, if you buy for investment, maybe can wait for global market crash, someone in BT think come 2009.
Try next door. Only $400 psf.
LW has a very small pool and its sauna and club house rather mouldy.
I think for not brand new condo, Southaven I could be better choice?
Southhaven also not new rite? what's the rate now?
Le Wood is only 6-7 yrs old, I wonder whether RT will have the same moldy problems in a few years time?
facing green... high floor. noon sun is at an angle so not a prob. mozzies will be a prob for lower floors.
The biggest problems with mouldy problems should be in the basement car park. What worry me most are the helath hazards because of the excessive spore counts in the air because of the mouldy problems
I believe there are two Southaven: I & II. One is 99 yr, the other is 999 yr.
I was offered a penthouse for $1million at Southaven II in January. 3000+ sf with private garden, jacuzzi, 5 bedrooms, etc. Should have taken it!
If we have a designated car-wash area (of 3 to 4 lots) instead of everyone washing their car in their own park lot, may help to contain/control the problem as only one small area is designated wet. Residents may then book timings for their car wash in designated area accordingly. More "lehchey" but may nip the problem in the bud.
Have a feeling that the communal space in RT is rather small, with facilities virtually concentrated in the centre of site. According to developer, the roof top is not accessible to residents, only for technicians for maintenance. Wonder why they did not convert the roof top into roof gardens. In this way, there's more space for everyone instead of everyone cramping in the centre. Would it cost much to build and maintain a rooftop garden?
RT is rather inconvenience in terms of public transportation. Because of this, there is good chance that majority, if not all, of the residents are car owners. Understand from the agent that the number of car park space is RT is about the same as number of units (about 325 lots available). This could be a big problem if some owners may have two cars, where can they park?
I hope we don't have to drive around at night in the car park to find parking space like living in a busy shopping center.
If every unit has their own designated parking lot will help to save time in the long run. Imagine you can just zoom into your own lot and in the morning you know exactly where to look for your car if there's more than one driver in the family. I think will save everyone alot of time in the long run and also avoid potential arguments among residents arguing about their favourite parking space.
BTW, i thought there were 330 parking lots
You all living in condo for the first time is it? Condo owners have unwritten and unspoken rules and ethics about parking spaces. HDB dwellers will not know these rules because they have been used to KIASU attitudes back in the HDB estates.
Now that you people are going to live in a condo, please be more gracious and courteous about parking and other stuff. We don't want others to complain that RT is a HDB-upgrader condo with all the bad HDB attitudes and habits.
Thank You.
If RT is a HDB upgrader project I would not be as worry. There are plenty of parking spaces at HDB public parking at night as most residents don't have cars. Unlike other condos, you can't park your cars at the side streets if the situation is bad such as Johnnny's family holding a big birthday party for all his welathy relatives and they have taken up 30 parking slots for the night.
Unwritten rules and unspoken rules only work if there's ample parking space. If there's plenty of space for everybody, even HDB dwellers can be very gracious.
This is what we call the animal instinct (unwritten law of the animal world). If you come home late and can't find a place to park after driving round and round for 30 min, i wonder how gracious can you be
Is it a standard for condo project that number of parking slots is only 5% more than the number of units in the condo project? It would be nice if the developer make can make the temp parking lot outside the showflat permanent even though units facing that space would certainly complain.Unwritten rules and unspoken rules only work if there's ample parking space.

The condo that i am staying right now is a low density project, only about 100 units. There' s ample parking lots in the basement and numerous families have 2 cars but no one is complaining. Why? Because there's still enough lots for everyone to live at peace with one another.
At RT with only 330 lots to cater for 315 units, even if every unit is entitled to only one carpark lot, on days when there's an additional 20 to 30 visitors cars due to ongoing parties, there would be chaos.
Not forgetting agents who would be parking their cars as well if RT prove to be popular and subsale activities are high?
I would say: "Prevention is better than cure"
I am afraid: The temp carpark space outside showflat does not belong to RT. It is "state land" and need to be replanted with trees when condo is ready and "return" to the government.
