What I understand is developer did not spend money on advertising and there is no showflat. Developer took a gamble. This project started sales in 2009/10 when market was just recovering. 2.5yrs on and prices have climbed some 300psf to 400psf. Developer still have some 1x units on hand to claim their handsome profit. Now that the building is up, I see plenty of agents on weekends bringing potential buyers in and look at the actual unit... hmmm...

Not sure about new launches but older ones got quite a few... Sun Rosier, Cherryhill, Rosalia Park are among some of those but prices have climbed since.

Better than Car Buncle..

Buncle:

An Uncle that lives in your house. Usually, is on disability for a false injury. They smoke cigars and wear jogging pants. Typically, a Buncle can be seen lingering around your neighborhood, in a creepy, rapist fashion. Some believe Buncle's are pederasts, although, there is no evidence thus far. All Buncle's are habitual liars. Creating fiction about partying with celebrities, being watched by Feds, etc..Steer clear of all Buncle's unless you have time to spare. When one interacts, there is no telling when a Buncle will ever end his ramblings. It is said to be an abbreviation of the phrase, " Uncle Bum".

Just finished viewing and was overall quite impressed with the pool. Pretty decent considering the small devt of only 41 units. Feel quite exclusive as it has its own slip road with basement carparks (most small devts don't offer this ie those at telok kurau).

Have to say the colour and design used for kitchen is really very 80's like. Gosh the designer must be a Lao ah pek.

A few points to note:
Jacuzzi has been scrapped. Unless u get your own penthouse jacuzzi.
No built in wardrobes for common rooms with only mbr having the privilege. This is the first I came across.
Only ground floor units have marble flooring for living room. All other levels come with cheap looking quartz stone?!
Pd door/bi fold for maid's toilet at backyard. Gdness me.
toilet looks quite nice with full glass windows. Ground floor exhibitionists no need put curtains! Lol
There's only 6 three bedroom units left. 3 are located at stack 6 which have both master and 1 common room facing west sun.

Other than above grouches, overall feeling for project is decent. Now is just a question of price I guess. It has nearly doubled since early 2009 and up 15% since early 2011.

Would you by any chance know what's the ceiling height? The pictures on property guru looks like it's at least 3.3m ceiling.

For ground floor unit it's ard 3.2 m if I dun recall wrongly. For the higher units is less than 3m, think 2.8m..

U interested in the project too? We can most likely be neibors soon!

Another good thing about this project is that the average unit size is a very generous 136 sqm (GFA divide by 41) which implies that it's less crowded to live in or they had underutilized the GFA when they could have built up to 56 units based on average of 100sqm per unit. Good enbloc potential in future?

yeah, i like the devt cos it's relatively spacious and not so cramped. not thinking so far ahead regards to enbloc potential... but always good to know there's potential.

It is the only project along that slip road that has a rear gate to access How Sun Drive and so hit Bartley MRT in just 5.5 mins (I timed it when I walked) but coming back will be about 6.5 mins (upslope).

This developer is not new. According to my agent, he showed me other projects done by them mainly in D09. That is why the way they did the project is rather different from other projects in D19. However, they used a different name. I already deleted that mail with details of their other projects but you can always ask from the agent if you eventually purchase a unit from there.
