    I think the residents of tessarina are very selfish. read below.

    SINGAPORE: Experts said the government may have to consider expensive solutions in its review of the drainage system to tackle floods in Singapore.

    They said the review must be holistic and go beyond short-term measures.

    Bukit Timah road was flooded on Sunday, following heavy and intense rainfall.

    But Wilby Road, where Tessarina Condominium is located, was spared of the floods.

    Authorities had raised the road level of Wilby Road by almost a metre in some areas.

    The project began in October last year and was completed in January this year.

    The floods on Sunday were said to be the first real test of the flood preventive measure there.

    Residents who had petitioned for the improvement works said they were relieved when the measures worked during Sunday's downpour.

    They said the authorities had been responsive to pleas to tackle the situation.

    Tessarina Condominium floods sub-committee chairperson Audrey Tan said: "Previously, when Wilby Road was still a low-lying road, whenever Bukit Timah canal burst its banks and flood water hit Bukit Timah Road, there is always the risk that the flood waters will come to Wilby Road and enter Tessarina via the ramps that lead into our basement car park.

    "However, now that Wilby Road has been raised, we are free from that risk, because water remains outside, along Bukit Timah Road and Dunearn Road.

    "Therefore, our basement car park was free of flood water".

    Still, experts said measures such as raising road levels are just "treating the symptoms of floods".

    Nanyang Technological University School of Civil & Environmental Engineering associate professor Tan Soon Keat said: "Where does the water go? The water goes to the next lower area, so it is more of shifting the locations of flooding from one place to another place".

    That could be the reason other areas such as Sixth Avenue off Bukit Timah Road were said to be flooded.

    Some aso say bcoz there r more construction n more land/trees r given up for buildings along upp bukit timah....so less water retention n more water flows down n flood bukit timah...

    Sounds logical which means central regions will b vy jialat as more suburban upstream areas gets developed

    $1370psf this was for a 10th floor (top floor) unit...the other transactions are still hovering around $1220 to $1230 psf range...but sterling is still fair value compared to Blossomvale and Maplewoods.

    Heard that 1 unit on the 9th floor transacted at $1,400psf just.
    Prices are certainly gaining momentum.

    haha - could be primary school registration period. Family could be be registering for MGS, hence the spike in psf. The fact that there are no more noisy trains is a positive boost for sterling as well.

    Any idea whether it was 1001 or 1003?

    actually, we should just pool our resources and subscribe to find out the unit prices!

    Another new caveat....excellent. Looks like the much older Sterling has established a level at the same/higher than Nexus and Maplewoods. I think even Blossomvale is doing well. Must be the proximity to the MRT.
