    Unit PSF Area Total Price
    51 #06-06 $685 1195 $818k (Why this unit so high? designer's reno?)
    51 #08-05 $640 1238 $792k
    63 #09-06 $606 1238 $750k

    And the average psf is slightly higher than Aquarius by the Park, and not far away from the "new" project Baywater

    We went to Tropica this weekend, for the final preparation of our reno, and I did see quite a few good cars in the carpark

    AND, the car park is so spacious! If you ever visited those carpark in the "new" projects, you will appreciate the Tropica carpark. Anyone been to The Water Place in TANJONG RHU? the carpark is really a nightmare

    Just curious... how do u know which unit is sold at what price? The ura website only provides the selling price

    I just wonder when you guys renovate, did you wire up for the latest fibre optic broadband or staying as status quo?
    Can share your experience if you are going for the latest fibre optic broadband installation?

    good point! just called mgt office, Singtel is contacting them to do some upgrading underground, should be transparent to us ba.

    Even mgt office has no idea when will the actual upgrading be done, so we have to use the existing cable points. Noticed HDB blocks are doing upgrading now. i guess should be same cable point, right?

    To what I know, the technology is different. The current broadband is limit to a certain Mhz but with the new one, it starts with Ghz, physically, I think, they are using fibre optics. So I think there would be wiring done in the house.

    Just pass by Tampines Ave 10 yesterday and notice that the plot of land (or rather the stretch of land) beside the quarry is under some sort of construction work.
    I thought they have just completed laying the newater pipes just months back....Anyone know what is going on there?

    This is a ground floor unit, i guess similar to this one which is asking S$ 1,120,000 now
    http://www.propertyguru.com.sg/listi...le-the-tropica

    Actually I also did not expect that 1mil unit can be sold (and sold so fast), as i did recommand this unit to one of my friends who always loves to have a mini garden in a condo not long ago...

    good news for Tropica Owners!

    haha.. if it's in the masterplan, it will be a matter of time.

    i'd prefer they build a bridge directly outside our side gate to the reservoir though.

    For this one, I think you should propose to the Tropica Management. I don't mind chip in.

    haha..

    it'll be good for the residents jogging and taking their families for walks around the reservoir. Also rental and price of Tropica will be lagi firm due to this bridge. Win-win situation.

    Totally agreed! That will be more value added to Tropica.

    I asked the same question during my house viewing, and the previous owner said mgt did ask URA for the bridge, the answer was "Tropica has to build it at their/our own cost". e.g. using our own sink fund, not tax payers money, since it's really for private residents... then after that no news liao...

    how much is the cost of such small bridge? We, new Tropica residents, should raise this again to mgt office?

    Exactly!!!

    Maybe a proposal, working out the cost/household plus a vote is good. Just a tiny little narrow wooden bridge will suffice, like the one in the "three goats gruff"...

    Next move? AGM??
