Oasis Garden at Upper Paya Lebar

[summer]

Bro (or Sis?), welcome to this discussion thread..

Bcos of my vested interest in the development, I've actually did quite a bit of research on it.. The development is actually not that East (as compared to the East Coast or even further developments).. It is only about 5-10mins drive to Toa Payoh. With the KPE just outside the development, you can literally go anywhere if you drive... PIE and CTE are actually not that far off.. Else the within walking distance Tai Seng MRT is just a few stops away from Bishan..

As for the finishing, I guess it depends a lot on individual judgement bah... I personally find it better finished than quite a number of developments that I've visited.. Perhaps you can share with us the developments that you think are better in terms of finishing?

On the view, I think any unit above 6th floor would be alright and have a clear frontage.. Directly in front of the development is a cluster of terrace houses which are at most 3 storeys high.. The only possible blockage is on stack 09 where the views of the lower floors (<10th flr) may be blocked by the 7/8 storey industrial building beside..

Just my 2 cents worth of inputs..

Hi jtpy, thanks for your input.
Saw some impressive projects like The Arte, Fontaine Parry and Mezzo where they really have a good finishing and that's why the price is higher to compare with (besides location). Even the Oasis agent agreed with me the finishing is something to compromise of. Nevertheless, I am ok if I can overcome other factors like location amid industrial bldg.

I have also checked with agent on the floor level inorder to have unblocked view esp if back face the bldg where the showflat is...and was quoted at least 13 floor & above for a decent sky view.

Hello Sis Summer... yep.. agree that Arte and Mezo probably have better finishing in view of their psf price.. Not sure about Fontaine Parry though as I've not seen it before.. But from the web search, it is a low rise development with 125 units with pte lifts. Prices are slightly higher than that of Oasis Garden..

I guess consideration on the location would be of utmost importance as this is a significant investment afterall....

Yah, the agents are at least consistent with the point that you have to be 13th floor or higher in order to clear the showroom industrial buidling.. But I think it is only applicable for stacks 01, 03, 05 and 06..

Hmm ... yup quite consisten info .. but I think jpty has a point about the stacks coz if u compare the residential blocks & the commercial bldg (where the showflat is), the latter shld be somewhat 'shorter' .. so to get a relatively clear sky view, betta to aim for 14 & above for those stacks as mentioned. Among them, it appears that those in the 'center' where the round-about is could enjoy a little more clear view coz there is a small gap between the residential blocks & commercial bldg.

[jtpy]

Yap, but that is only applicable for the back of the building.. The frontage are mostly unblocked..

I got this from Property Guru... Based on the advert, it is for the 1238 sq ft unit (stack 07) on quite high floor..

[cheerful]

Thanks for the update ... Hope you've been successful!

[Hello]

Buang...

To Hello >> Read from other threads tt Botannia likely to TOP this August, then gg at this rate, even if OG is smaller in scale oso doesn't look like Sept (from the outside) ...

To JPTY >> Why Buang

[jtpy]

Anyone been to the actual site? Any chance if OG will TOP by Sep this year?

Was there yesterday.. They have fitted almost all the windows and started painting the exterior of the building.. As for the facilities, they are also well underway... According to my agent, most of the units had completed internal furnishing except for the last 2-3 floors.. He told me that TOP is still slated for Sep/Oct 09...

The tides really moved too fast.... Suddenly property market picks up.. Bulk purchase may not necessary work to bring the price down..

Btw, the current quoted price is about 19% off the Oct 08 list prices which were then in the region of $950++psf for the high floors..

[cheerful]

the chance is still there....this is a good project, people responded when developer lower prices for lower floor units.... but people are still not prepared to pay for that kind of prices that developer are expecting for higher floor units....
