[devilplate]

Received update from Developer sales team last nite:

2 BR: $666k - $766k (786 - 1033sqft)
2+1: $766k - $900k (926 - 1184sqft)
3 BR: $980k - $1.1m (1119 - 1722sqft)
3+1: $990k - $1.15m (1109 - 1733sqft)
4 BR: $1.05m - $1.28m (1195 - 1711sqft)


I am told:
Cheque collection starts now (ends 14th November 2010) for buyers ready to buy without viewing.
Showroom opens 17th November 2010.
Official launch on 19th November 2010.

Wah...why so hot??
Buy without viewing???
Is it close to MRT??

if the estimates r correct, den 2bedders at 850-900psf sounds attractive and quantum still below 700k which is very rare

Pricing does look attractive, all around the $1m for 3 bed & above.
but i believe there will be a (super )high premium for those stacks facing the reservoir, like waterfront.

if not mistaken, all the 2 bed & 2+ are not facing the reservoir..... so maybe that's why?

[McKinnon]

you may be right. reservoir view premium is getting higher and higher.

and waterview's reservoir view is lagi nice, coz there's no road between it and the reservoir.

Guys, if your unit is facing the reservoir at a high enough level, then it really doesn't matter if there is a road in between or not. If by constantly highlighting will make the developments at this plot and Tropica feel more special as compared to Baywater, Clearwater or even the Waterfront collection, then its pretty pathetic man. I'm sure these 2 developments have its pros...and hopefully its not just having a view with no road in between.

it does matter la....no traffic noise mah...but this one not near future mrt

[McKinnon]

bro, road noise is an important consideration, especially when you go higher. i have units at the tropica and clearwater, and the noise level is not the same. just trying to give an objective view, dun be so defensive abt ur waterfront collection la.

Ok, I stand corrected if the amount of noise coming from the 4 lanes can be unbearable as I don't live there. But seriously, we are not talking about some highway or even Tampines Ave 10 where there are plenty of heavy vehicles. Being defensive will be if someone keep harping on the fact that this new development is not near future MRT, or its near (i think) the military airbase. Anyway, it doesn't affect me as I'm not rich enuf to pay the premium of a high floor reservoir facing unit, road in between or otherwise.

The land cost was about $420psf bidded by developer in Mar 10, b4 govt cooling measures in Aug. That could explain why it was highly priced (> $875psf) even though it's so far away from MRT.

What is current surrounding condo sub-sale selling price?

Nevertheless, the facilities sound interesting, with so many different types of "Deck"
Facilities
• 50m Lap Pool • Suntan Deck • Children’s Play Area • Outdoor Fitness Deck • Viewing Deck
• BBQ Pavilion • Jogging Track • Tennis Court • Water Feature • Fitness Deck • Theme Garden
• Clubhouse • Gym • Function Room • Changing and Shower Facilities • Sauna Room

[McKinnon]

4 lanes do not produce unbearable noise, but will definitely have more noise compared to waterview w/o a road in front of it.

i seriously do not understand why you call ppl pathetic when we're stating that waterview doesn't have a road in front of it.

Bro McKinnon, if you look at your earlier post, you mention that the view is nice because there is no road in between. I just highlighted that if its good view you want, then having a road in between will not affect the view as the road will not 'block the view'. Then the point about noise is raised.

In any case, I'm a reasonable person and if my choice of word has offended you, then I do apologies. Let's move on.

[McKinnon]

Quit twisting ur words. You do not stay at either of the areas, dont own a reservoir facing unit, so u have zero credibility to make a post with weight. Apology accepted.

Only stack 26 2bedder will have some reservoir view if u look sideways from the balcony. Hopefully it will still be priced below 700k

[gfoo]

i like this development, hope the pricing is fair.

[doraemon1]

Hi gfoo,

but the future mrt is not near to the development. this is one point which bothers me.....

Hi gfoo,

how many large scenic, unpolluted bodies of water are there in singapore? the entire southern coastline is now mid-to-luxury. the northern coastline is highly polluted you give me free stay also i don't want. that only leaves seletar, macritchie/pierce, and bedok. with bedok being a little less heartlander than seletar.

what i also like about this is that it is on it's own segregated land parcel, unlike the waterfront collection.

[2824]

Yah, last time i recalled at the waterfront showroom, i thot i saw they speculatively put that there will be 1 mrt at the poly and another at quarry park. but we now knw that that was wrong.

I got PH floorplan already - too big to digest!

Really don't know why they build 4 bedder so small, PH so big, yet give such funny layout for open terrace? you see the small path on upper floor then you will understand what i mean.

when you friend come to see your beautiful reservoir view, you have to bring them carefully go through the tiny path to reach there (i guess).

A big white elephant???

In fact, all the good units (unblock lake view + no road noise) e.g #09, #12, #13 & #14 all taken up, only left 3 -4 floor units.

By the way, waterview basement carpark at ground level, first floor above ground 4.6Meter, so 4th floor is almost 5.5 floor in Tropica, can see half lake half green tree, also not bad lah

[azeoprop]

My friend just sms-ed me yesterday that he went to look see look see with his parents, end up he did not buy but the parents bought.
