D18 Tampines Condo Plot by The Waterfront (Waterview)

**kingkong1984** · 19-11-10, 11:47

Above 10. Interested?

Condo's and HDB's are no different except one that offers condo facilities and the other without. You must understand HDB buyer's mentality which will also be very much similar to condo buyer's mentality.

HDB buyers want high floor, unblocked, no west sun, spacious living room, windy and best is unblock with spectacular views. As they move or upgrade, they will have the same requirements for condo.

The sail is one fine example of having a good 'water view' - selected units.
Sentosa full of water view too.
Tanjong Rhu
Bedok Reserviour
Kallang Basin
Marine parade
Bukit Batok
Macritchie
etc.

You might want to do a study on projects located near water body since everybody knows near MRT projects are GOOD~! Others yet to realise MM units.

Thought that's most people's sentiments ...not just HDB buyers

Went to kaypo this afternoon. All the released reservoir view high floor units gone.

Cheapest unit I saw was #02-01 2 bedder selling 667k facing main gate.

Some other 2 bedder pricing:
#05-01 677k
#02-16 687k
#02-06 701k
#11-34 701k

2+study #03-25 837k

I also think that the entry price should be 800 psf and above...

They keep referring to how cheap it is relative to FEO's Waterfront series. Not sure if it is an advantage to keep comparing with the "well known" FEO (well known for charging high high)...

**gohsoonk** · 22-11-10, 08:51

Between the two, Waterview has my vote.

**gohsoonk** · 22-11-10, 08:55

Correction...I meant 800 psf and below...

Thank you thank you.

in fact I had no time to think too much at that time, because the good view units getting less n less, many agents queque to check price, entire venue busy like fish market.

I went to showflat confirmed the layout not as small as i think, and #09 4 bedder running out of good lake view units, i have no choice but make a decision loh. after i secured my unit, 2 units below mine already taken - it was that FAST! everybody grab like no need money. very very crazy.

For my be-loved 4 bedder in Tropica hoh, I love also so much. I will see how 3 years later... but i may have to give up my HDB flat by then... so sad... rental return so good... hopefuly goverment will change policy in 3 years time

that's what I think! fully agreed!

Hey con, the 1st flr unit is 4.5m off the ground so the 4th flr unit will be abt 5.5flr high - good enough for a water/green top view. For 1.186m, we are looking at sub 900 psf which is not too bad for an unblocked water view.

I understand from a fengshui master that stk 14 has good fs. Not sure abt that, but a good unblk water view is what I will go for at sub 900 psf. Of course it helps if I have 1.186m to spare

**McKinnon** · 23-11-10, 16:18

TOP in 3 years? I tot someone mentioned 6.

I assume you refering to #04-14? Was also quoted same price when I visited on Sunday. Was told that developer will increase price after the weekend. Guess not.

**condolisa** · 24-11-10, 08:47

That's correct. I was also there on Sunday. Are you interested too?

Offically it's 6 years, but usually by end of 2013 as what agent told me. nevertheless, let's enjoy the good healthy green life in Tropica first

if the best units were already released and sold out, the left over are those quarry facing unit I guess? then the price may not be able to increased...
