Now we know why CEO Liew tried hard to keep Interlace's pricing between $1,000psf to $1,300psf.Originally Posted by AaronChong, SkyscaperCity, Friday 18 September 2009
He is making every effort to ensure it is no more than half of MBR's.
trevista and centro prices cannot be used as market benchmarks one, doing so will make ppl think oh 1k psf is soooooooo reasonable..Originally Posted by andy

I just checked out the place where they put that big Interlace model. 200+ units sold for 430 units available for sale. Don't feel it is too hot but for units that are so big, i think the sale is pretty good already considering last monday's announcement. THERE IS NO IAS AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROJECT. 2 bedrooms are indeed almost all taken up.
hehehe, interlace is nearer to the sea and both the IRs than those 2. the other thing is although nearer to mrt, those 2 are near hdb heartlands. there are not so many hdb blocks near interlace AND land area divide by number of units already cannot compete. those 2 sitting on such small plots of land and have such small (maybe uncomfortable sized) units.
i would say this is ex but still reasonable. at least not as crazy as the other 2.

The site is over 800,000 sqft. This is a massive development, like a residential city with its own retail shops...3 tennis+1 multipurpose courts
I wonder how it feels to live in a such a big site development with over 1000 units. Is there anyone who can share any similar experiences
big projects got its cons...i.e. 1000 over households sharing the pool?Originally Posted by andy
In Singapore context, anythings more then 2km is consider "far".Originally Posted by bargain hunter
It is a good project for own stay provided it is not those block next to AYE. For investment, HBL is not doing very well lately.
yeah, below 1k would be attractive. then again, these high floor units with pocketed seaview (without big balconies/patio) are priced at "only" slightly above the psychologically important 1kpsf. in effect, maybe only 5% more if you can stomach that.

actually, i checked out gillman heights and was surprised to find that alexander road facing is actually more noisy than AYE! Alexander road has a traffic light junction and is uphill. when the lorries accelerate up the slope, I could hear the loud noise from 10th floor which is about mid floor. AYE could only hear light humming. Between noisy Alexander Road + tennis + basketball court with west sun but with greenery view and "light humming" AYE, north east facing with open view, I'd rather pick the AYE hee. Lesser of 2 evils but i think down to personal preference.

yup, my conversation with cheerful was with regards to why other people are comparing centro/trevista with interlace. anyway, free shuttle provided for 5 years to vivocity. still couldn't convince myself to buy though. 800+k for a small 2 bedder a bit hard to stomach, let alone 1m+ for the bigger 2 bedder!

$15k household can afford $3.3m property (the last time I calculated). These will go for core Orchard properties.

thats one of the main reason the whole world like to buy properties in Singapore. Bank interest super low !!
An agent told me there will be a final release of 2 bedroom units at 10am this morning. After that, there will be no more release of 2 bedrooms until the showflat is up in February 2010.
Why Feb 2010? to coincide with IR opening?Originally Posted by bargain hunter
the showroom is only under construction now and will only be up in Feb 2010! People buying now are buying off plan and one impressive model, i must say, located opposite The Cosmopolitan at River Valley Road.
