Kembangan Suites (D14, Freehold)

[aristos]

Unfortunately, unless the other guys, I have not been able to go up...
Tried once but they didnt allow me to go in...
I think depending on size, the loft will cost 10-20k, but would be worth it for the additional space, especially this is a decent height loft.

[bullman]

Latest caveats shows #04-09 495 sqft at $1252 psf.

That is a good price to sell considering that its facing Kembangan Plaza with block view. KS is climbing slowly but surely towards my dreamy $1500 psf.

[aristos]

1500psf seems like an uphill task to achieve,now studio units around that area are selling @1200psf at most..
any idea if the developer provides washer/dryer n fridge for kembangan suites? i'v even heard that those 1st buyers were given options to choose to have either 1 or 2 toilets in their unit.
i m just pondering how to have 2 toilets when the unit is already so small? surely some part of the house has to be sacrificed for the 2nd toilet.

Palmera @ east is already selling at 1300-1400 psf and fully sold out.
So maybe 1500 psf may be a near possibility for Kembangan suites?

Yes KS faster hit 1500psf so my D'Oasia can sell 1450psf.... 50psf diff for the 2-3 min difference in walking.

[propertychap]

All these crazy prices make older apartments like Kembangan plaza look a steal. Worth a look?

You go down and look at the state of the building and facilities (if any) lor... I doubt you will be much impressed.

From the latest caveats, it should hit soon. Maybe as fast as upon TOP with the latest high at 1333 psf.

It will be great that KS hit 1.5k and your D'Oasia hit 1.45 k . Everyone will be happy, except for those who are still on the sidelines, waiting for a chance to enter the market. I remember that you are staying in D'Oasia now?

if D Oasia 1bedder hit 1.45kpsf...its 8xxk wor....WOW...impossible la as 2bedder 9xxsqft around the vicinity r transacting only ard 1kpsf now....

but for KS, vy high chance to hit 1500psf for the 420sqft types...630k only....rent out 2k...investor still bitable...hehe

[propertychap]

Anyone knows about Pamera@east near Kembangan MRT? It is fully sold. I was told by agent another project going to launch in the vicinity which will push price further up, barring any unforeseen circumstances such as economy downturn.
What was the launc price for KS? Owners must be laughing their way to the banks.

Must look at the project in totality. KS *only* wins out in terms of location. DO has so much better facilities and maintenance should be even cheaper at 175pm. Layout also better and then coz total only 32 units over what is essentially similar plot size, it is more quiet and exclusive. 2 lifts serve 4 units each side per floor. Not so sure about KS but it appears to be like a dorm per floor layout...

KS from the 'artist impression' places so many deck chairs on the sun deck I fully doubt that placing one or two can even be possible given the narrowness of it... and the pool is very slim think only one person can swim any one time.

But you are right - 800k can probably get a comfy 1 bedder 506sf at Casa Fortuna for example or even 1+1 at Beacon Heights 667sf. Or 2BR at Vetro. Or 495sf studio at Tyrwhitt or Mackenzie D9. All much nearer to city...

So there is a certain 'price level tolerance' where it doesn't makes sense anymore for a 1 bedder.... I guess that figure is around 650k-700k max max in today's market.

800-900psf I think? if remember correctly

[propertychap]

With the new hub/condo coming up at Bedok and the upcoming Paya Lebar CBD, the prices of old and new condos/aptments in Kembangan should go further up?

palmera east is located along lorong melayu,actually not that close to the mrt compared to KS.
KS was launched around 800-900 psf in apr 2009..sold out within 2-3hrs n the showflat was barely used.
it took about 2 years to complete,not that fast considering its a small project.
the slowest of all projects i'v come across is 'the aristo' in amber road..it was sold out except the 2 penthouses in early 2009 n till now mar 2011,only the skeleton structure of 5 floors out of 17 is completed..owners must be fuming by now.

[thomastansb]

They will be fuming more when they go into the unit for the first time

Actually pool size seems ok lah. According to purchase agreement, dimensions are 35m x 3.2m. Can do proper laps, not like those old free-form pools...

Ok I correct myself - only two persons max can swim side by side and even butterfly stroke given the span each one has middle finger to middle finger is about same as their height average 1.7m. ;-)

[ks999]

I look forward to the TOP of Kembangan Suites.

Anyone has a clearer idea of the TOP date? Hopefully will be ready in May 2011.

the metal fence is an eyesore,they should conceal it with plants around it..
