    Default St Michael's Regency (FH - D12)

    Anyone went to the showflat and take a look? The whole street of St Michael is like a contruction site - but I like that this property is along the river. I heard TOP wll be end of this year.
    Developer reduced to price $777psf. What do you guys think? Any possibility for this area to go down to $5XXpsf?

    When my boyfriend and I were looking for a place late last year, we visited St Michael Regency a couple of times. We were quite taken by the place but didn't feel that the price was reasonable. The price has held steady since Nov last year despite sales not being very good which was quite surprising for us. Another thing that left us abit unsure was that the developer is not a very experienced one. We contacted a friend in the real estate industry who said that the developer used to do things like Lift Upgrading and building of foreign worker dormitories so we were abit worried about what the quality would be like. If you are not in a hurry, it might be better to wait till the place has TOP-ed before you purchase.

    Hi Delft - somehow I like the place compared to other condos in the vicinity - and is dismayed that their price are still too high in my opinion. Yes, will probably adopt a wait-and-see when it comes to this property.

    As for Boon Keng MRT - I think it is quite a distance away...
    and this property does not have shuttle bus like beacon heights.

    ya.. I know traffic there is bad

    hi
    i actually just bought sub-sale unit at one st michael's. agree that the traffic is bad but hope it will improve when the woodsville interchange is ready. only concern is there isnt much amenities (coffee shop, supermarket etc) around there. and yes, think boon keng MRT station is quite a distance...

    I stay just across the PIE at One Leicester (OL), can see that the construction at ST Michael Regency is at almost at 14th sty. So 1 more floor to go. A quicker way to ammenties eg MRT, Coffee shop, McDonald, KFC etc is to go to Potong Pasir side. If you walk along the path of the canal and cross to Moonstone Lane side, you can reach the ammenties in 10/15 minutes. You can cross at Traffic junction instead of the PIE bridge to Potong Pasir. It is not too far actually ..you don't have to go to Boon Keng Stn or ST George street side which do not have much ammenties. Just my humble opinion.

    I have been looking out for the new launches in that area and made a comparison. one st michael is near serangoon road and has a smaller land area than beacon heights but both have full condo facilities. OSM is freehold n has fewer units compared to BH, while BH is 999year so not much dif. But if you look at the entrance of the two condos, OSM's entrance is in a poorer location as it is so close to serangoon road. BH appears to be tucked away in the midst of a peaceful surroundings and the entrance to the condo does not seem too abrupt (i.e cutting in almost immediately after turning from serangoon rd). I heard that BH is the tallest condo in that area so it will definitely stand out more compared to OSM, which makes it a plus point. St Michael Regency on the other hand is facing moonstone and the kallang river so might not be the most ideal of choices and moreover it is only 14 floors up. For the orientation of the condo, magnificence in terms of height and a more classy entrance or drive through, I would definitely go for BH. Again, just my opinion....

    Is this developer the same as Evan Lim Co Pte Ltd?

    Evan Lim Co PLT is the parent company of EL Development. ELD developing Rosewood Suite.

    Yes, it is the parent company but ELD is the one that does private property development. This is Evan Lim's first foray into it. They are owned by different people (ELD is owned by the brother of Evan Lim I think) and when we called ELD, they knew nothing about St Michael Regency.

    If "EVAN LIM INDUSTRIAL/WAREHOUSING DEVELOPMENT PTE LTD" is part of Evan Lim co Pte Ltd, then why is it not listed in their web site (http://www.evanlim.com/)?

    I could not find the web site of 'EVAN LIM INDUSTRIAL/WAREHOUSING Dev'? Do you have theri wen site address?

    Cheers!

    I did not manage to find an official website or a website with more info on the developer as well. Which is one of the reasons we decided not to buy in the end. We also called the agents marketing the property but they also did not manage to give us any more information on the developer which was not too assuring at all.

    The catalog they provided is also not showing proper drawing. It is also not proportionate in the Horizontal and Vertical axis. The drawing are either stretch horizontally or vertically.

    Hence very misleading and some rooms are bigger then what it should be due to the stretching.

    For example the, the 2nd and 3rd bed rooms for the 3 Roomers are actually very narrow and may even have problem accomodating a single bed with wardrobe.

    In fact I was also told that the developer will not be providing wardrobe for the 2nd and 3rd bed rooms for the 3 Roomers eventhough the drawings indicated clearly it is available.

    This project is slowly fading from our short listing.

    What a waste! It has such a nice location with good views but the whole project looks so shaddy...

    If you are still eyeing at a development along that stretch, i think beacon heights is the most sensible option there (being the most prominent structure there when it is built)

    BH seems good but PSF still very high.
    It is also too close to the temple.

    the temple seems like an icon in that area in itself as it has a big sleeping buddha there. The temple is also very quiet n clean with hardly any activity. Again u may nt even be able to land a small unit at BH as all 1 n 2 bdrs are sold out i thnk. For the hi psf at least u get to live in an iconic dev in e area. Just my opinion.

    The temple can get quite noisy. My friend's unit faces the bell partially, and complained that the huge bell goes 'tong tong' very frequently. SO much so that when she's on conference call at home - her listeners asked her what that 'tong tong' sound was...
    I cannot imagine the units at beacon heights that faces the bell directly!
    And I think having a big bell right in front is not good fengshui?


    As for St Michael Regency - the brochure is really not up to standard. Perhaps I'll wait till TOP to see the actual unit before making a decision.

    The way you describe the 'tong tong' is very funny...

    The 3 BR facing is attractive but would like to convert it to 2 rooms. Was told that the dev can modify the walls if we tell them early. If we wait till it TOP, it might be too late.

    But no confidence to place order now...

    St Michael's Regency does not have 1+1 or even 2. Their smallest is 3brm.

    Understand from the agent that St Michael's Regency will be topped dec 2009.

    Actually i went to the showflat last week, the layout for the 3+1 seems quite ok. Near to the yard, it include full length window.

    With the are size of 1249, the dining and the living room look quite spacious.

    As i am not familiar with this location, i find it quite far from the main road.
    Peace
