Err ... maybe I can fly to Jakarta to buy a Phase 2 unit?Originally Posted by jlrx
Wonder whether Property_Owner has again "thrown in a few cheques" for this Urban Suites?
If so then you can buy from him.
Since you are fellow forumer, he may flip it to you for only 20% profit.
Why in Ïndönësïä? Why not in Singapore? Discrimination again?

Kasara - The Lake
Malaysia-based YTL Corporation is officially launching "Kasara - The Lake", a collection of 13 luxury villas in Singapore's Sentosa Cove.
6 of the 13 villas previewed have already been bought by buyers from Singapore, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region at prices ranging from S$14 million to S$22 mïllïön.
Villas range in sizes from 9,000 sqft, with two good-sized parcels of more than 14,000 sqft.
Kasara is the only residential property in Sentosa Cove with views of the lake and the world-class Serapong golf course.
Margaret Thean, managing director of property consultancy DTZ, said the high take up rate of the development during the preview demonstrates the optimism of market sentiment and confidence in Singapore's lüxüry property sector.
She added that market sentiment will be further strengthened with the completion of developments around the Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) and the 2 iconic integrated resorts (ÏRs) later this year.

wow, looks like nowadays if you're not buying multiple units, you're not invited to the preview party.
F01 N54 Sheer Driving Pleasure
Actually, CapitaLand was very kind at the preview party.
You are allowed to attend with your family members and accumulate your purchases. Otherwise, you just need to buy 2 units.
The foreigners appreciated CapitaLand's kindness and duely rewarded CapitaLand.
"It was a tall order: buyers were required to purchase at least 2 units at the plush new CapitaLand project Urban Suites in the Orchard area.
But they enjoyed a 1% discount. As well, CapitaLand was flexible and allowed purchases by family members to count towards the multiple unit requirement.
In just a matter of weeks, the first 60 units on offer at the 165-unit condo spread across three stylish towers have been snapped up, mainly by foreigners.
.........."
Senior
let me get this straight, so when they invite you to the preview, you can don't buy if you don't like right? but if you do buy, you must buy at least 2 units correct?
Junior
Yup, proud owner is right!so developer sell high high to them .. and they can hold forever .. cos no one will buy from them
Jakarta is the birthplace of the Propertism religion.
Jakarta has the highest concentration of devout Propertists who believe that properties should only be bought, and not sold.
Last time when I spoke about Propertism, one agent asked whether I was from Jakarta. I said no, I was just a missionary.
On the other hand, most Singaporeans have weak faith in Propertism, keep questioning about poor rental yields, high conservancy charges, whether East Coast would sink because it was built on reclaimed land, West Coast face the port, whether Osama would fly an aeroplane into Marina Bay, burglars would enter landed houses, Bukit Timah would flood, Sentosa got ghosts, next year got bird flu, this and that, and other irrelevant things.

Another thing about singaporeans buying property is every darn thing has to be near MRT. To them 1km to MRT is considered damn far

What!? 1km! .. Even 500m is considered too far!
I need a coffeeshop, provision store, 7-11 and ATM within 250m!
A bus stop should be less than 100m!
Then must have million dollar scenery of lush greeneries..and skies..and best if can see glimpse of water features.

A condo development with HDB facilities/amenities will be perfect, especially with a big piece of freehold land!Sounds like a good HDB will fit all the description.
Global recession is coming....
Because HDB is 99 years lease-hold, have no facilities, poor sound-proofing (you can hear what people are talking downstairs in the void deck), parking need to pay extra mah!
Furthermore, HDB you will usually see dead cock-croaches lying all around on the floor for a few days before the sweepers will sweep away (seems like nowsdays the sweepers work only once or twice a week?), some people feeding pigeons (hundreds of pigeons will gather around during feeding time and provide free bombs everywhere) and stray cats. You also get people playing football in the void deck (free "bom bom" music to your ears).

Six luxury villas on Sentosa sold
If you have $15m - $20m lying around, up for grabs is Kasara The Lake, a series of ultra-luxurious Sentosa Cove Good Class Bungalows (GCBs). "Kasara" is derived from "kasaaraah", a sanskrit word for "lake" according to the spec sheet, which also means it is named "Lake The Lake" if translated.
These babies are huge, 9,000sqft at the minimum, with the largest put on sale at about 15,000 sqft. Prices work out to about $1,500 psf. Some of these units also have an unobstructed view of Serapong golf course and lake along with luxurious sunken Living and Dining Pavilions surrounded by water. Each unit comes with two sheltered car park lots and one driveway lot.
Six of thirteen were sold yesterday. The buyers consisted of three Singaporeans, two foreigners and a PR. As we predicted, this year seems to be the year of the luxury market.

经济持续复苏 豪宅买家纷入场
龚慧婷
联合早报
星期四, 7-1-2010
随着经济持续复苏，本地与海外买家纷纷进入豪宅市场，特别是海外买家明显回流。
马来西亚的杨忠礼(YTL)机构位于升涛湾（Sentosa Cove)的Kasara湖滨别墅，在去年11至12月的三个周末，卖出了6个单位（将近一半），单位售价都在1400万元以上，其中一个1万5000平方英尺的优质洋房(GCB)单位，还以超过2200万元的价格出售。
这个项目的本地和海外买家各占一半。买下该优质洋房的相信是一名亚洲买家。
嘉德置地的高档项目Urban Suites从圣诞前夕开始预售60个单位（第一阶段），至今已售罄，尺价介于每平方英尺2400至2700元。买家中，有三分之二是外地人，包括中国、澳洲和加拿大买家。
位于乌节经禧地区的Urban Suites，是茶阳花园（CharYong Gardens）的前地段。项目的单位面积介于1044至4715平方英尺。预计会在2013年竣工。
Urban Suites单位 一次须至少买两个
嘉德置地也为Urban Suites推出新颖的促销配套，买家必须一次至少买下两个单位，因此，嘉德指出，大多数买家都买下两个单位，售出单位以三卧房居多。
但假设一个单位是1044平方英尺，以2600元的尺价来计算，要买两个单位，买家至少要支出530万元。
针对这个买多单位的特别计划，嘉德置地发言人受询时指出，买家能与家人一起买下两个不同单位。与嘉德的其他项目一样，两个单位各可获得1％的折扣，不再享有其他优惠。发言人说，这个特别行销策略目前还适用。
Urban Suites一共有165个单位，嘉德也计划下个星期到印尼推出第二阶段的约50个单位。
嘉德房产开发(Capitaland Residential)新加坡总裁谢昭白说，乌节路地段向来受到许多海外和本地买家和投资者青睐。60个单位的买家中，大多各别买下两个单位。在新旧年交接时刻，嘉德成功推出这个项目，显示买家对新加坡经济的基本面有信心，并看好高档房地产的增长潜能。
嘉德置地是在2007年6月，以4亿2000万元，收购茶阳花园地段。若包括4700万元的发展费，土地总成本为容积率每平方英尺1788元。项目是与美资金融服务集团旗下的瓦霍维亚发展(Wachovia)联手发展。茶阳花园的一些前业主相信也买下新项目的单位。
另一方面，即将在本星期五正式推出的Kasara湖滨别墅，共有13个单位，在预售时推出7个单位，目前已卖出6个。买家除了本地人外，来自亚太地区和欧洲。别墅最小的面积是9000平方英尺，已比岛上其他别墅大。
杨忠礼机构：显示市场信心恢复
杨忠礼机构在升涛湾南翼人造岛屿丽沙岛上的18栋濒水别墅，目前已售出11个单位。在09年，发展商也以1950元的尺价，卖出一个单位给一名香港买家，总值约1657万元。项目的绘测师是曾设计名牌服装店阿曼尼（Giogio Armani）店面的克罗迪奥（Claudio Silverstrin）。 （设计图）
杨忠礼机构（新加坡）国际房地产董事陈碧敏认为，能在11、12月的传统私宅淡季卖6个平均尺价1610元的单位，除了反映这个项目的独特性外，也显示富裕人士对高档豪华楼市的信心已恢复。目前，要价已上涨到每平方英尺1700元。
这个项目由本地DP Architects操刀，这些位于升涛湾北翼的别墅，走的是亚洲热带风情路线，似建在湖上，也面向圣淘沙实拉蓬（Serapong）高球场。这个99年地契的项目竣工日期是2012年6月。
杨忠礼机构在升涛湾一共有两个发展地段，另一个是位于升涛湾南翼的人造岛屿——丽沙岛（Sandy Island）。丽沙岛包括18栋濒水别墅，正在建造中。从08年10月正式推出以来，已售出11个单位。
在09年，发展商也以1950元的尺价，卖出一个单位给一名香港买家，由于面积较小，单位价约1657万元。
集团是在2007年三月以9000万元，即每平方英尺617元，买下丽沙岛。目前，别墅的要价已上涨到每平方英尺2100元。
海外买家也回流
由于升涛湾是唯一允许外地人在本地拥有有地房地产的地方，因此，这里的别墅向来受到海外买家特别青睐。经济好转，海外买家(overseas buyers)也开始回流。
一名不愿透露姓名的Kasara买家在接受本报电访时表示，她买下一个9600平方英尺的别墅(She bought a 9,600 sqft villa)，打算投资，因为这个市场活力十足，她也拥有(also owns)卓锦豪庭(Orchard Residences)的一个单位，在夏威夷也拥有一些濒水房地产(also owns some waterfront properties in Hawaii, U.S.)。
这名现年33岁，出生于大溪地法属玻利尼西亚(born in Tahiti, French Polynesia)的买家，在本地已居住一年半(resides here for 1½ years)，她相信自己将会是活跃的房地产投资者，她过去经营家族事业，目前则“全职”在本地修读中文(studying Chinese here)。
她透露，自己有三名子女(3 children)，若新加坡在十年后依然如现在一样治安良好，活力十足，她打算让孩子在这里念大学。

Tycoon Li Ka-shing said Thursday he will continue to raise his stakes in flagship companies Cheung Kong Holdings Ltd. and Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. after a slew of recent purchases.
Asked by reporters whether he will continue to accumulate shares, Li said: "Certainly."
Li has bought 15.08 million Hutchison shares since October and 29.3 million Cheung Kong shares since September. Market watchers said there could be a slew of corporate actions in the pipeline, but Li declined to comment, saying he has "confidence in the companies."
Separately, Li said he doesn't believe a property bubble is forming in Hong Kong, and said he believes the property market will perform well.

The New Paper
Thursday, 7 January 2010
Residents in a Bukit Merah housing estate have been plagued by cold calls, brochures, flyers from property agents bugging them to sell their homes.
Sometimes residents even get accosted by agents at lift landings, they say.
Because of its promixity to town, prices of flats in the Kim Tian Road estate are among the highest of the 25 public housing estates.
The New Paper spoke to 60 residents living in the four blocks there and almost all were unhappy with the hounding and the flyers.
While residents there stand to make a sizeable profit, 58 in 60 residents interviewed said they are not interested in selling.

Mickeymousation has spread to Ipoh Lane!
If Ipoh Lane can sell at $1,327 psf, there is no reason why Orchard Road cannot sell at $7,231 psf.
They just need to Mickeymousize it to 100 sf, and each apartment will only be around $723k.
Who won't want to own an Orchard Road apartment for $723k?
As long as you keep it below a million, it will sell like hot cakes!

Now everyone is beginning to believe in the Propertism religion and realises that properties should only be bought, and not sold.
58 out of 60 is 97% !!!
It would be good if the number is 59 out of 60.
The target of Propertism is not 100%. We need one person to sell, so as to set a benchmark.
The one who sells will have no competitive sellers, but lots of buyers.
All we need is to close one HDB flat at $ 1.88 million, and immediately evey HDB dweller in Singapore will feel very rich.
Everyone else just hangs on to his flat forever, and feel rich.
That is the Nirvana of Propertism Heaven.

“我一向不对楼市升幅作出预测(It's not my practise to predict property market movement)，展望今年楼市，会继续向好(property market will continue to perform well this year)，迟一些通胀一定会来(inflation will definitely come)，现时五金、油价及建筑材料等开始涨价。”
