actually, capitaland's singapore residential portfolio doesn't contribute much to capitaland's bottomline any more.

With co-partners like Morgan Stanley and Wachovia, Capitaland would be under pressure to sell quickly. Funds have short-term investment horizon.
tis is mass market... Not luxury leh... 1715 ...
"100 two-bedders will be launched today to theof the units released. There will be no viewing."
public. Interested parties are to submit cheques by
Wednesday evening. Balloting will be conducted if
more than one cheque were to be received for each
yes! CAPL is a china stock nowOriginally Posted by bargain hunter
i think the majority of ex farrer court owners would not be keen to buy back. but i guess with the proceeds they received, they can buy that upper bukit timah home AND buy a 1+1 at d'Leedon but only if they want...(if it makes sense to them at all...LOL. )

if our check is fished "out of the tank", we will be informed of the price. then, we can decide to take it or not. no viewing.
crazy!!! what do they think it is? a lucky draw?
Sounds like a gimmick to meOriginally Posted by stalingrad
if its a LUCKY draw...i dun mind if the psf is 1000 hahahahahaha.
maybe the gimmick might fall flat. so arrogant.

a lucky draw for me if they would sell a unit to me for 800psf. huge AC ledge. and the shape of each unit is as irregular as you can imagine. You may sleep with your feet next to your head.Originally Posted by bargain hunter
haha, exaggerating a bit.
but staling why r u interested in this project in the 1st place ?
because it is convenient for me and my wife. she drives and I take MRT. also, this place is closer to American School than my current place.Originally Posted by amk
but for that kind of dough, I would prefer to find another abode along Farrer.
So far the 2 ex-hudc mega projects sales figures as of Oct 2010:
The Interlace 570 out of 1040 units = 54.8%
The Minton 468 out of 1145 units = 40.9%
and now comes the 1715 unit monster. LOL. and the most expensive project of them all.

Sometimes I wonder why the developers enbloc these mammoth sites with so-so attributes? The next one.... Pine Grove
Anyway, I'm not surprised this d'Leedon might do quite well due to:
(i) District 10 address - obviously it matters to lot of people
(ii) "Nice" sounding name - esp to the hot money PRC/HK investor. I recall some hongkie and PRC like to give themselves unique sounding ang moh name like "poodle". And PRCs wouldn't care about tenure.

pine grove's psf ppr is going to be a challenge.
well to be fair u hv to look at how many units are actually released by developer..Originally Posted by azeoprop
as of last mth
for Interlace, 590 released, sold 570
for Minton, 600 released, sold 468
yeah, hope the gimmick flops hahaha.
on a side note, euro worries seem to be returning to cause stockmarket jitters again.

It's true in China you don't care about tenure - it is standard 70 years LH acroos the whole China. (Well, I should say the modern China. It was FH before Year 1949.) But in Singapore you do have the choice of FH and LH. D10 address is prefered partly because most of the projects are FH. And my PRC friend even managed to trace back this project's "HDB background". (HUDC). He has decided to give it a miss and looking for East Coast instead.Originally Posted by Wild Falcon
