i went over the weekend but security guards (already there) said cannot go in without letter from developer.

actually they should make a similar entrance lighting display at the corner/ junction of Tanah Merah Kecil & Tanah Merah Ave. ie the corner area facing the Public Park/ Playground and Optima on the right. The should have the word "Casa Merah" displayed with some spotlight and Palm Oil tree or plants as landscape cum backdrop. Refer to East Meadows at the other end and you know what I mean. I believe CM owners would love to have this as it builds up the prestige and image of CM when cars drive pass.

CM owners, haha based on my feedback above they have erected a
"Casa Merah" sign at above location. ie.. the junction facing the public playground. They should put some spotlight & more Palm trees to beautify it.

Drive pass they and you know what i mean.

I think someone from NTUC Choice Home read my feedback in this forum lol..
Anyway they should beautify it further. I find it too simple and plain.
A bit like using Microsoft software (Times New Roman) to come out with the letterings & logo.

They need more landscape, palm trees, plants and some spotlight to make it look great! The fence there is a litttle too low for that part of CM.

Have you receive any update on key collection?

maybe when stay inside can propose more great ideas to improve the environment. A good management office makes a difference. depending on residents, some low floor owners may not like a lot of plants and trees, block all their views and invite more creepy crawlies to their homes.

yup, i felt something could be done to the fence, a bit too open. should just be fenced around with concrete walls.

keys?.....still waiting until neck growing longer..

Looks like you got your wish... Just drove by Casa Merah and they are doing landscaping for that area. And the first palm tree is up..

Ha ha next they should next put some dim orange spotlight to add some facade to blend it with the landscape and palm trees. It would look very classy at night. A bit of of cascading waterfall at that location will act as good Feng Shui for all CM residents.

For the side gate entering from the Tanah Merah MRT side, they should build a sheltered walkway maybe down the road. The current walkway is very much open concept. Residents may get drenched if they alight from the side gate when it rains.

I stack 10 but never receive anything leh... So maybe they go by random order....

[cksonic]

hmmm..yours is internal facing rite? so maybe they do the landed prop-facing stacks first, followed by the south-facing units of those blocks.

You need to buy kopi, teh tarik or roti prata for them.
Total they are 4 guards on duty at any one time because of the number of units at CM

What is your experience for typical condo with 500 + units based on your other friends who stay in bigger development?
Typically how much you need to pay for a 3 bedder unit??

On the other hand, if they can be easily bribed by kopi, teh tarik or roti prata, I should be damn worried sia...
