Junior
anyone seen the penthouse show room? Issit better than reflections at keppel bay penthouse unit? Single floor 3000+++ sqft with true fronting SEA VIEW. going ard $10m
Newbie
I think thats crazy. Wouldn't it be wiser to buy a landed property somewhere prestigious - Mount Sinai, Bukit Timah, Mountbatten etc.. you can even get a decent sized bungalow with a private swimming pool for that price!
Junior
Aalto PH done at $3000 psf
Junior
i also ask that qn b4. Conclusion...................must be already have a good class bungalow. Buy 1 seasiew shiok shiok to enjoy.

I don't think you are familiar with this project at all. The stacks facing towards the pool also face other blocks within the estate (there are 6 blocks and the pools are in the middle). If you look at the proximity of blocks, those facing either Paramount or The Shore are facing blocks that are further away than those units facing each other within The Sea View. Also, have a look at The Shore's estate plan. There are actually 2 pools, one with a shoreline facing Katong Shopping Centre, and the other on top of the carpark facing the back units of Sea View. That means that when Shore is up, these units WILL also have a pool view (but Shore's pool!), and a much wider view of the city than those facing the Sea View's pools.

The risk with the side facing the shore is that the nursery owner sells the land to some private developer for some residential development.
Senior
the problem with east coast is that ....
simply too crowded ...
Newbie
Isn't that the problem with every other prime area, Orchard, River Valley, Marina Bay etc
Junior
One thing good about Seaview is the distance for the blocks is very far apart of at least 50m.
Not all stacks in The Seaview are good.
Premium stacks are in high demand and very few in supply

i was going to say tat jus now...but hold back....hehe
Senior
Agree. So have to find developments that aren't packed within. Otherwise there's just no breathing space.
Newbie
Which developments around east coast/katong are well spaced and surrounding is not too crowded?
Haig Court?
Dunman View?
Newbie
I think the developers tried beforeLook at the entire area.. mostly bought by FEO and all the condos are expensive! Only that odd plot of nursery is not built. Also good la. easier to buy plants!
Senior
Cos the owner is still interested in the business. Must check out the owner and make sure its not some old uncle who's retiring in a few years.I think the developers tried before
Newbie
The Esta spacing btw blocks is not too bad but not as good as the Seaview, imho. One Amber block spacing and facing is not great. Plus too many water features. Any kids cycling on the paths can fall into the water feature unwittingly.
Newbie
I think Esta is worse than One Amber. The blocks at Esta are extremely close.. I can't estimate it but it's closer than I've ever seen. One Amber to me is actually not too bad. The layout of the blocks are different, and i find it quite interestingly designed.. anyways, its just my opinion.
Newbie
One Amber internal layout is bad bad bad...
Esta is ok, with their alternate balcony concept, so u can have some "loft" feeling...
but still find Sea View very shiok. Did u see their lobby in each block? Tap card and sliding door open leh.... then nice big aircon room...
Esta is tap open a Gate!
Exalted
Tats y seaview maint fee is higher due to ac lobby
Junior
Esta and One Amber are having plot ratio of 2.8 whereas The Seaview is only 2.1
As such, Seaview is a much better buy.
Seaview has a much internal layout
Exalted
Market 90% accurate.....seAview aso cost 15-20% more
Newbie
but prices coming down already...
$1350psft asking for some units...
Exalted
U goto call n view those cheap units to understand y so
Newbie
The Seaview is better than Esta and One Amber because:
Location- closer to parkway, closer to future MRT
Has 2 entrances instead of 1
More spacious than either of them
Newbie
Yes, that's why it is puzzling that Silversea has a price of $1,700 - $2,000 psf. I hope the owners realise that since they are closer to the highway, they will have to bear the noise from the cars! The Sea View on the other hand is away from this and yet sits on a great location. In comparison, Sea View units at $1,700 to $1,800 psf are very good buys now.
Newbie
But for the same amount of money you spend, your living space in The Seaview is greatly compromised. Masterbed room is 3 quarters that of The Esta. At the end of the day, depends on what you want to spend on: bigger living space or huge AC lobby that u wont sleep in. Proximity to Parkway parade is not an issue. Walking from Esta to Parkway takes 10-12min.
Junior
My biz partner regretted did not follow me to buy The SEAVIEW unit
at that time. Instead he goes for THE ESTA. THE SEAVIEW investment return is better than THE ESTA .
The SEAVIEW unit has a better potential to move even higher than THE ESTA in the next 5- 10 yrs ($1800-$2000) when MRT is ready. I Recently sold @ $1590 psf. as it has hit close my tgt selling price. But His THE ESTA unit was valued @ $1300 psf.
The only minor setback for THE SEAVIEW is that the master bedroom smaller than THE ESTA. Cannot swing the door freely when I put my KING
SIZE bed. Need to shift close to the baywindow.
Junior
the clubhouse was a nice conservation bungalow.
have u seen it ?
Exalted
different timing for both launches....seaview earlier.....so cant really compare
and let say u r looking to buy now....between esta at 1300psf vs seaview at 15xxpsf...which one better?
