    Launch of 6 more condos likely in next few months

    All but one of these private condo projects are on 99-yr-leasehold sites

    By KALPANA RASHIWALA


    DEVELOPERS of at least six mass-market private condos could release their projects in the next few months, riding on buying momentum generated lately by the Caspian condo near Jurong Lake - despite the recession.

    Property consultancy CB Richard Ellis (CBRE) tips Oasis @ Elias, The Gale on Flora Road in Upper Changi and Ascentia Sky on Alexandra Road among projects for possible launch in the next two quarters.

    Others include UOL's 646-unit condo at Simei Street 4, Frasers Centrepoint's project in Woodleigh Close and a 571-unit condo by NTUC Choice Homes at Lor 2/3 Toa Payoh near Braddell MRT Station.

    All but one of these projects are on 99-year-leasehold sites bought through government land tenders in the past 14 months. The exception is The Gale, a freehold condo to be developed by Tripartite Developers as the latest in its series of condo projects in the Upper Changi location.

    Frasers Centrepoint's recent sales spurt for Caspian has shown where the base price is for the mass market.

    The developer released the first 250 units of the 99-year-leasehold condo during a preview last week, at an average price of $580 per square foot (psf), followed by a second batch of about 130 better-facing units at $600 psf. So far, more than 330 units have been sold in the development, which is next to Lakeside MRT Station.

    BT understands the developer is likely to offer a further 150 units during a public launch this weekend - and that pricing is likely to be calibrated upwards.

    CBRE executive director Joseph Tan attributes the good response to Caspian partly to its timely launch, coinciding with the government's announcement in Parliament that it will upgrade, expand and transform Jurong into a business and recreational hub.

    'The project is also priced competitively, within the affordability of HDB upgraders,' he said. 'The sales momentum seen at Caspian is an encouragement to developers to get their projects ready for launch in the second and third quarters of 2009.'

    Knight Frank executive director Peter Ow said that in current conditions, mass-market suburban projects aimed at HDB upgraders are more likely to sell than projects in other segments.

    'After all, HDB upgraders buying private homes for their own occupation are the core group of buyers left today,' he said. 'Investors and 'specu-vestors' are lying low. And as for foreign buyers, investing in overseas properties might not be a priority right now.'

    Amid today's tight lending climate, owner-occupiers are also more likely to secure finance from banks than investors, provided they have the means to service their loans, Mr Ow said.

    He reckons that for condos in outlying areas near MRT stations, the price resistance for a new launch in today's market would probably be in the $600-650 psf range on average.

    Another analyst put a price resistance in a higher band of $750-$850 psf for condos in mature HDB estates such as Toa Payoh and Ang Mo Kio.

    About 2 weeks ago, all the big construction equipments were out of site and no much activity seen then. The whole site seem to be abandoned. Even guards are not present at all.

    Had checked with CES previously and the last comm in early Mar was :
    We regret to inform you that there are still transition changes to the design, unit mix (sizes) and layout and as such, we are unable to release any information at this stage.

    Anyone has any updates ?

    Thanks.

    they held off the launch lor. http://www.chipengseng.com.sg/admini...%20Updates.pdf

    In Feb at $540psf, CES will make a $500k loss. Now Livia is touching $497psf. That will make their losses be in the millions if they go at $500psf.

    got some feedback from the developer and i believe the launching is very soon; probably during the June holiday. Saw the showflat being renovated now and the site preparing some big launching posters.

    Livia selling at 497psf ? I believe u refer to this transaction for 1711 sqft (850k quantum) in March. This is most likely a 3-bedroom ground floor unit which include a large PES (which is virtually no cost for developer) into the equation. To be realistic, even 2nd floor will cost you 600-602psf. If a 2nd floor 3 bedroom is selling at 500psf, the HDB resale price will crash back to 2002 level.

    For Livia, the avg is still around $600psf. Only one unit is transacted at $497psf. Either is on a very low floor, or it has got some undesirable attributes that causes it to be transacted at such a low price.

    Any idea is the sales office of Oasis @ Elias directly opposite Elias Mall?

    Yes, that's the showroom & sales office.
    Been there a few times and I believe the sales may start during the coming school holiday.

    Thanks for the info.

    I will be interested to know if Oasis will influence prices of units in Pasir Ris, e.g. Livia, Riz Haven.

    The wall papers are up at the show unit and construction site. So i'm expecting the launch soon!

    Let see what effect that will have on Livia.

    Feel free to arrange for a meetup together at the show unit. I will be going down for a look then we can share pointers. do PM me for arrangement. My wife will be going down with me.

    Some updates.
    A drab looking Condo, believed those sea-facing (actually is straits facing) units are the one nearest the Elias CC. No Sea+Pool facing. The whole development is typical of CES type at AMK; all enclosed and basic quality fittings.

    Looks like there is going to be a MSCP. and for the plot area, the 6 blocks does look quite cramped up. But those facing elias mall will be getting unblocked sea view.

    Interested to know the price for the 3BR and see how it will affect pricing in nearby projects like Livia.

    Default elias mall

    Elias mall is a very small mall, with limited shops. Definitely not a selling point. As for seaview ... i am not sure. It like a condo nested among HDB with a small mall beside it.

    In terms of location, would Livia be better since it is nearer to MRT station ? (Oasis is slightly nearer to sea-side.)

    no offence, the location CMI

    not even near to mrt. must take feeder bus.

    elias mall so hopeless. at most can call middle class provision shops with wet market.

    sooo far from town.

    time to consider moving elsewhere unless u work for sia.

    just some sanity check. no need to rush

    From BT today, looks like Oasis will be launched very soon followed by the Gale.

    Chip Eng Seng group's Oasis @ Elias condo is expected to be released soon, as early as this week. The 99-year project has a total 388 units and should give some competition to City Developments' Livia condo nearby.
    Over at Flora Road, in the Upper Changi area, Tripartite Developers is getting ready to launch its freehold condo, The Gale. A Facebook page for the project will be launched to help market the project.
    The Gale comprises 329 units in nine blocks. The eight-storey project has a range of unit sizes, from one-bedders to four-bedroom apartments with a roof terrace.
    Buyers will have the option of signing up for IAS. Buyers and current owners of a Tripartite property will enjoy a loyalty bonus (a 0.5 per cent price discount) if they buy a unit at The Gale, and a referral fee (0.5 per cent of purchase price) if they get a friend or family member to buy a unit in the condo.
    Tripartite is a joint venture involving Hong Leong Holdings, City Developments and TID Pte Ltd. Hong Leong Holdings, which issued a press statement on the project yesterday, did not give an indication of pricing. 'The project is expected to be launched to the public in July,' it added.

    For what I understood from CBRE (sales agent) Oasis@Elias will have a soft launch this Saturday. There are only about 6 units of sea-facing 2 bedrooms, the rest are 3/4 BR. CES is trying to sell near to current Livia pricing @ S$610 ave. I'll be more keen if they are selling for < S$560 psf.

    New projects enjoy strong weekend sales

    8@ Woodleigh drew mostly S'poreans, specu-vestors due to its location

    By KALPANA RASHIWALA


    (SINGAPORE) There seems to be no let-up in home sales.


    Selling like hotcakes: 302 of the total 330 units in the 8@ Woodleigh condo were sold between Friday and Sunday. The average price of the 99-year leasehold project near Potong Pasir MRT Station is about $780 per square foot


    The Gale: A Facebook page for Tripartite Developers' project will be launched to help market it. It is expected to be launched to the public in July

    Frasers Centrepoint is said to have sold 302 of the total 330 units in its 8@Woodleigh condo since Friday. The average price of the 99-year leasehold project near Potong Pasir MRT Station is about $780 per square foot. Buyers who opt for an interest absorption scheme (IAS) offered by the developer have to pay 3 per cent more.

    The 15-storey development comprises five blocks. About 40 per cent of the units are studios, two-bedders as well as apartments with two-bedrooms plus study. The remaining 60 per cent are three- and four-bedders.

    The average price of a studio unit is around $400,000 while a two-bedder typically costs between $650,000 and $670,000.

    The project drew mostly Singaporean buyers. In addition to attracting those who bought units for their own occupation, the project is said to have drawn a fair bit of specu-vestors.

    8@Woodleigh's location next to the future Stamford American International School gives it a strong investment appeal.

    'Some people bought with a view to leasing the units to expat families (for the bigger units) or to the single teachers at the school (for studios and two-bedders),' a market watcher said.

    The project is being marketed by DTZ and ERA.

    Over at Devonshire Road, Allgreen Properties sold 130 units last week at One Devonshire, a 36-storey freehold condo with a total 152 units.

    The average price of the units sold is understood to be $1,800 psf, assuming a normal progress payment scheme.

    Allgreen is charging buyers a 2 per cent price premium for IAS. For those who opt for the deferred payment scheme, the price premium is 3 per cent.

    Around 65 per cent of the 130 buyers have opted for normal progress payment. Knight Frank is marketing the development.

    Chip Eng Seng group's Oasis @ Elias condo is expected to be released soon, as early as this week. The 99-year project has a total 388 units and should give some competition to City Developments' Livia condo nearby.

    wah, if there is going to be a queue like recent launches of 8@woodleigh, vista residence, you are not going to get a unit you like at 5pm (they would probably bring forward the launch to the morning) and if you are there just to view, it would still be too crowded.

    Drove past the site about 5:30pm today, saw quite some people inside the showroom. There is also a tentage setup beside the showroom with lots of chairs, probably expecting a big crowd or a long queue...
