Both inner and outer beauty are important I like beautiful things - both in and out. Most Fragrance developments have neither inner or outer beauty - in short plain ugly - both on the outside and inside. That is depressing.

I know Fragrance projects very well... they are a typical VALUE developer where INNER BEAUTY counts more than EXTERNAL. How often do you see boutique (MM) developers including marble flooring, branded fixtures like Grohe, Electrolux and built in microwave oven.

Tell me, when you buy a home, do you spend most of the time INSIDE it or OUTSIDE standing and admiring the external facade??

fragrance projects provide quite good furnishing in terms of mass market standard oredi in today's market.....at least no ugly-looking homogeneous tiles

mabe novelty furnishing is slightly better among MMs developer

furthermore, fragrance MM layout is usually optimised and efficient...

Which was the last Fragrance project you seen? I think they have updated their finishing to keep up to date. Their latest Cotz project TOP soon are radically different from the Sunshine Grandeur 5 years back even though its only across the street.

Also if you compare to Macly the other MM developer for their price its more bang for the buck. Macly finishing is worse yet price higher. Thats why Fragrance is, like their hotel chain, a VALUE no frills brand.

One of the reason i prefer Fragrance is also coz their 1br tends to have the toilet outside the bedroom. Less privacy encroachment when guests need to use. And their maint fees usually around 175 vs others 250 up. Cosmo is the only one shocked me at 140 nia.

Well, the pavements cld be widened and drainage could be improved.

[jezz]

Oh you own Cosmo? Their maintenance only $140? That's pretty decent.

In my opinion:
Macly = Price getting steeper, quality degrading
I wanna see their next TOP project Newton Edge how it will turn out though. Anyway their Suite 123 has long been completed but cannot TOP, and don't know why???

Oxley = Their projects always sell out. Quality quite similar to Macly but overall better than Macly. Price almost similar to Macly. However, their designs are much more nicer

Fragrance = Somehow, I feel their residentials are very budget motel look. take for instance City Regency. I must confess their interior layouts are better. Yes I'm someone who go for MM and normally I would prefer to have dual doors toilet (that serve both to the guest and to the master bedroom)

Fortune = They develop Mercury and RV Suites. Can't wait to see their finishing

Novelty = My friend complained Iridium who is developed by Novelty sucks. The pool is leaking to below level units and the private lift got breakdown every month!! I wonder...

Any other MM developers?

You probably nailed it for most of the mm developers. Others I can think of Teambuild, Fission...

Oh how can we forget... World Class Land.

And i think theres also Bravo Building.

[devilplate]

oxley is the worse MM developer....

fragrance and world class best

[land118]

Soon mainstream developers will also join the MM club. Allgreen already launched SkySuites@Anson

[jezz]

well, we mustn't forget that while developers are developing MM projects, results is dependent on the type of contractors they used.

so while oxley can be well known for MM, if they used China contractors, the MM project will turn out bad.

having said that, the primary factor also coming from who the architect is

did u guys realize that most MM or Huttons fav architect is Ronny Chin???

looks like most projects are done by Ronny Chin:

1. newton edge
2. suites 123
3. zenith
4. parc sophia
5. city loft
6. parc somme
etc etc...

wonder what did u think of Ronny Chin's design? so far, i am quite happy with zenith...

I dont know enough about the industry to comment, but for all we know Ronny Chin may just well be the cookie cutter equivalent of Fragrance in architecture. Cheap, good value, fast.

[Rysk]

No need to argue la. Check recent transactions and all will be clear that CR already over 1000psf for 1BR. That is the market value today. For 2BR it's 750psf on average, a far cry away.
