**azeoprop** · 15-01-11, 19:02

I think last time without 8@woodleigh, his unit got nice unblocked city view.

City view may be nice but I think he will be happier with view of bikini babes hanging around 8@w pool.

**stebu** · 15-01-11, 19:21

with the new cooling measures, what happens if one took up an option to purchase before the 14th Jan but not completed sale yet? Will the new SSD apply when selling later?

No city view on our floor before...Totally blocked by the HDB buildings. I went up to the 15th floor here just to see what it's like up there and was surprised to see the singapore flyer. I would think penthouse units at 8@W would have a better view?

**bargain hunter** · 15-01-11, 21:51

as long as EXERCISED the option before 14th Jan then won't be hit by the new rules.

Does anyone know if the penthouse units here will have higher ceilings than the rest?

**sleek** · 17-01-11, 08:37

Actually the top floor are not penthouses, and the layout are typical for the entire stack except for the PES, likewise for the ground floor units.

Hence, don't think the the ceiling will be different then.

Sleek,

I have 2 questions which I thought you may have the answer to.

I found out from a couple of showrooms (including Nin Residences) that developers can plan units without bay windows. If so, how come so many developments have them? Is there a purpose for bay windows?

And also, I thought bomb shelters are optional as well. I still see bomb shelters with thick doors being included in new launches. Any idea why?

Haha... I wish I can leh, devilplate.... lots to learn... but too bad, I am still a small fry working hard for a small salary. Can't surf all day here...

Do you think you can share the thread with the discussion to my questions? I'll read up on it.

Thank you.

**sleek** · 17-01-11, 15:16

Devilplate's right but sometimes also didn't really read into it.

IIRC for Bay Windows, it was original allowed to extend your windows beyond its setback and thus not counted as GFA. However, when Developers started charging for the space, URA rescind their rules to make it part of GFA. Hence, newer developments tends to do away with it, but I find that it do adds some features to an otherwise "flat" wall with windows.

As for Bomb Shelters, understand its optional, but keen to find out why too.

Thanks, Sleek and Devilplate, for the enlightening information.

Now, I'm wondering about the space I actually bought... anyway to find out or calculate the total amount of space used for bay windows and aircon ledge?

duno how to calculate better....life goes on

**sleek** · 17-01-11, 20:43

Devilplate right again, but according to the Prior Title Deed docs, your total floor area of 100sqm includes 4sqm of A/C ledge & 4sqm of Planter.

As for Bay Windows, the floor areas should be the length of the windows in meters x 0.5m for its depth.

haha... u so cute...

think positive like sleek or the innovative developer ID who builds bed stretch through the BW or a working table or a BALI styled resting seat copycat...

buying a positive equity asset in a good location is ultimately a better feel

**sleek** · 17-01-11, 21:39

If I have a choice, I like to keep the room versatile without too much ID. Cos lifestyle do change and the needs may differ at different stages.

But if really no choice, then have to maximize the space using ID lor

**5577** · 17-01-11, 21:44

By the way, can anyone of you remember if the wardrobe in all rooms are from floor to ceiling? I vague remember it to be.... Reason for asking is because I saw a showroom with wardrobe that is not built to ceiling. Instead, there is a white plastered area above.... Not nice at all!!!
