Another sell out project given quantum is low. People rather buy from developers than from Casa Merah owners because this gives them the option to speculate at 5x leverage. Pigeon hole living at suburb is coming.

location is good..but some of the 2 br units have only 85% of living area - after taking away the planter,balcony n a/c ledge.
I was quite keen but after knowing the px 800-900 psf..steep.
TID bought this site at 400psf ++. Breakeven cost should be around 750psf. Most likely i guess 1/2brm units should be 850psf - 900psf.
3/4brm units should be 830psf - 860psf. Groundfloor & penthouse units should be 800psf + except onebedroom grd floor unit.
Yup balcony is anytime betta than planter ... but this new one to launch got no balcony for 1 & 2 bedders lehOriginally Posted by kEN9170
worst still for 3> br units.. the percentage of living area maybe abt 70% of total floor area (excluding planter, bw, balcony & a/c ledge)Originally Posted by condobuyer101
anyway, still think this development will sell.. mainly because of location
Tanah Merah sell at Bishan/Potong Pasir psf ?? Very soon it will be out of reach of HDB upgraders.Originally Posted by WolleyDragon
Ya no balcony..hmm..they should do away the planter in master-room.Originally Posted by cheerful
Interested in this project. Can anyone enlighten what are the pros and cons? What about capital appreciation?
It's way overpriced at 800-900psf. No doubt location is gd but still a rip off. Besides at this price can even get a unit at D15.
The secret is at the size. 850sqft x 800 = 680k, affordable to HDB upgraders.Originally Posted by venus
Yah, they even have mini 2 bedders, with open kitchen and 1 toilet only. Stack 18, 694sqft only.
IMO, this mini 2br is better buy than the rest, pool facing (south facing) .. at least no planter in Master Bedroom, small a/c ledge ... 1 toilet ok for this kind of pigeon hole size anywhere. 694 x 880psf = 610k ... my best guess, could be higher. I met one excited young chap bought studio@>1071psf at 8@W.Originally Posted by azeoprop

KNN sounds like some cheap Korean car. This Hong Leong really cheena company who dunno how to choose English name.
Haa haa....nowadays condos sound like cars. Over at st michael got the Airstream...sounds like honda airwave and honda stream combined new model haa haa.
What to do? This is a JV between a cheena company and a japanese company.. so england not very powerful.. come up with a farked up name.Originally Posted by Lord Anus
Hiroshima better May be it means profit will be "optimum".Originally Posted by WolleyDragon
There is another condo behind the optima. Looks like TOP soon.
Curious what is the name of the condo. 99 LH also?
optima location is not so congested as compared to simei. but loose out in conveneience as nearest amenity is bedok or simpang bedok.
The one is Casa Merah loh, launched during the peak of the boom, and was all snap up within a week or two. The launch price for casa merah was 588psf in april 07....and this one is 800-900psf?!

so buyers better put on big OPTIcal-glasses before commiting to OPTIma.Originally Posted by venus
btw, an example of Casa merah transaction:
Jun 09: $712k, 947SF, 752PSF, 2BR
think they shld launch optima lower than CM, as it has not been built yet.
where to find one where it is not a rip-off now? with more positive news coming on, the ripper is getting richer...

Pricing will be probably know tommorrow. Will update you guys.
Cheers
Hmm.. You sound like a no integrity agent.. Or plain stupid, careless and forgetful.
Even if I want to buy, I won't buy from you because:-
1) No integrity. Hate agents like you..
2) Stupid, careless and forgetful. What if you forget to get the option with my cheque or what if you lose my 1% cheque..
Beware of this agent. Talk cock sing song here. 400+ psf. Say until so shoik. Pui. Disgraceful..

Shouldn't 1/2 bedroom sell at 700 to 750psf? 3/4 bedroom sell 680 to 710psf?
Where is your integrity?

Yah.. Are you another agent? Same company? See the message below. This agent 'claim' the land was bought at 400psf++. So he deduce breakeven around 750psf. To earn some profit, units should be priced around 830 to 900.
My logic is, since this agent talk cock sing song like nobody business, the land psf is 282. So breakeven should be 600 right? Get me? Or are you his colleague?
No matter what, this condo will be a sure sell out. Even at 900psf. It's near MRT. I am glad I bought my TR close to 1k psf.

Compare to Atre, developer breakeven is about 800psf, they launch at current market price and sentiments at about avg 850psf, profit 50psf only.Originally Posted by Daniel_Yee
I think this Optima will get good response. But just not my cup of tea.
Any links as to where you obtain the price of the plot of land?Originally Posted by venus
