i read the zaobao, he said something like Chueng Kong "if buy low will sell low, buy high will sell high" hahaha... Vision certainly is not the case.Originally Posted by sfwoo

Should include one more:Originally Posted by teddybear
Soot from industry (Vision) Vs soot and noise from traffic (Cube 8)
Which is worst?
I read the english version of his remarks. something was lost in the translation, perhaps. but the cheung Kong guy is a clown at best and a con artist at worst.Originally Posted by august
Thats why cube 8 is almost sold out and the showroom is already closed.Originally Posted by DC33_2008
Might as well say buy The Arte last March, only 850psf during preview... more MIB in the showroom than shoppers.
Bubble is good for Mr Chiu of course lah. Which developer want to sell only a few units in down period n yet have to throw in the goodies. So it is no good for us right? Like anyone from the fragrance habour, he really sounded very direct in that interview.Originally Posted by sfwoo
Cannot compare to Arte lah because Arte was launched at a time when market is still low last year. Cube 8 launched in Jan/Feb 2010 vs Vision is about 1 month apart and hence more comparable.

for location ... sentosa is not a bit convenient .. at least not now .. other than the indonesia view (dont look the other side that faces shipyard) ..
what else ?
i am not saying vision is good ..
just feel this whole mkt .. when you have money .. you can say all you want and push a location from nothing to become prime ..
if FEO , CDL start to buy pungol ... in 6 mths pungol price will chiong also ,,
This I agree. Look at what centro did to graduer8/nuovo/amk, estuary will do to orchid park/yishun, trevista to tpy. kovan residence to kovan melody/d19.Originally Posted by proud owner
It is about reference point. Think of what Horizon residence will do to pasir panjang.
Reference point.
to me, a good location is one where you have the modern amenities around you, preferably within walking distance,Originally Posted by chestnut
short commute to work,
and yet have good view, if no view, at least have some greenery, park ..
where in singapore can you find that ?
it all depends on where you work ..
if you work North... Seletar, springside is good
if you work west, Pasir panjang, south buona vista is good
if you work south (CDB) , river valley, tiong bahru, queenstown, tanglin , north and south buona vista, newton good
for me i prefer a good interior layout and space, as oppose to being near a shopping centre or MRT .. cos i dont feel good with the crowd and noise outside and tiny space inside ..
No problem with crowd even if near (near but not too near, like above the shopping mall or MRT) as the crowd won't walk to your estate.
Spacious and efficient layout is very important (because I don't want to pay for useless space). Unfortunately most (if not all?) properties built from 2003-2009 contains lots of un-usable space because developers can sell planter areas and bay windows which are not included in GFA and hence these areas are built exceedingly large to maximise profit. Exceedingly large balcony is another ploy as construction costs is half of what other built-up area costs.

What an interesting report! From the report, it seems that "Central" region usually has the lowest PSI and hence should have the lowest average PSI overall!
(This is really contrary to what people expects as they say central so crowded, so many cars, sure more polluted whereas the North and East should be most clean!).

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED!
Oh, so those NUS students need to suffer for 3 to 4 years. Those lecturers will need to suffer. Those NUH nurses and doctors need suffer their entire career should they decide to stay in NUH. I really think the doctors at NUH know better on this topic. I wonder how many doctors in NUH die of lung disease? Will check with my NUH dr friend.Originally Posted by DC33_2008
You should check with those staying at Kent Vale (Housing for NUS professors). Their balcony is sooty if it not clean often. You can even smell it at NUS. You should also check with the maintenance people at NUS on the filters of air-conditioning plant room. NUH is too far from the source. Go to Environmental Protection Agency (US) to see what I meant.Originally Posted by chestnut
Excuse me fir being ignorant. What is all this "flare" that a few have mentioned? Some fire?Originally Posted by stalingrad
Based on the report, it appears that there's not much difference in PSI across the region and depending on days, sometimes different parts of SG have "better" air. All these lung cancer accusations are very immature - there are people staying in all parts of SG having lung cancer. So you should just ignore those ignorant comments. Anyway, a bit of pollution in this world is unavoidable and Singapore is already very good compared to say Hong Kong and its not as it we have a longer lifespan. The most ridiculous comment I've read before is water from Bedok Reservoir in the East taste better than Peirce Reservoir! That is the ultimate joke. West Coast is quite a nice and serene area

The consolidation is that this same level is still much better than cities in China, SE Asia n others.Originally Posted by chestnut
Now that The Vision has set $1,332 psf hïgh in Phase 1, when are they launching Phase 2?Originally Posted by The Business Times Weekend
i thought already sold more than 200 units? no need phase 2 launch liao.

yup, maybe, but with the official launch with adverts in straits/sunday times last weekend, i guess that's your phase 2 launch already.
Originally Posted by Reporter
Thought i read much earlier that they are going to launch only 100 units in Phase 1 and the rest will only be launch at year end or next year. Do they forsee something wrong next year?

Who would not take profit given the opportunity.... remember the wise words.. a bird in hand is better than two in the bush. They've caught as many birds as they could. But they are still trying to catch all the birds there.
If it gives you fair margins, why hold on to them... the trick is to sell the not so good ones first and the value of the remaining units (high floor, unblocked) will be preserved.
just invest in D18 double bay residence.....
