wa....your unit has spa......
I've seen the show flat but don't remember he mentioned about the hot water......
if don't have....maybe you need to boil some water and pour in....
the spa tub is yet to install.... I seen them tilt on the side....
You reckon the spa can fit 2? Or just a mini one?
Newbie
Went past on Sunday and asked the guard when will finish and the guard said end of March. OMG! Seems like everytime the completion date gets later and later. My friend staying next dorr said progress slow like snail....sigh...
Newbie
honestly March is very fast already, from the look of the development.

I went pass today.... saw some workers carried plank of mirrors into block 90..... most likely its for the bath room....
If your unit has spa, take a look at those penthouse unit, their spa tub is yet to install...... still lying on the balcony..... probably one of the last items to install and fit.
if you happen to drive pass in the night, you might notice the lift lobby area were lighted up.....
Newbie
The swimming pool has filled with water ...... !!!!

Do you think that the TOP got chance to be in April? Even Marina Bay Sands alreay commited 27 April open.....
Newbie
Before TOP, there are a lot more certification to be done like, electrical system, plumping system, sewage system, lift, structural of the building, testing, auditing process etc..........unless all these have been done and verified, otherwise....
From the exterior look of it, my thought would be end April, may be few days later after the IR....
Auspicious Day huh......
You see, we still see the scaffold at the functional surrounding, could be the last few major works.......
There's still more work to be done on the road entry and the landscape......
But I really hope to get the key by end April.........
Newbie
I'm hoping by the end of March loh...

Only 240 units in there, so will be a nice cosy environment.
I went in to Varisty Park to walk around, it's very nice also. Can see why it commands such a high price, even comparable to Stellar price.
But they have much more units than CW.
Newbie
Which is the alternative route, besides using AYE TUAS, with less traffic congestion, from West Coast (clementiWood) to NTU? Thank you.
Newbie
Exit left, till Clementi Rd, right turn into West Coast highway, thru to Jurong Port Rd and then rejoin AYE. Smoother, but longer ride.
Newbie
Even Botannia, which was launched in 2007, has TOP liao... what's taking Frasers so long?
Junior
TOPs for carabelle and botannia were issued in July 2009, to be exact, almost 9 months ago.

I stopped to look at the site today. Spa pools are on the porch already, though not installed. Saw the wrappers with the word "Nordic". If it is indeed the brand, most probably will be similar to this one:

Front porch almost done up. But I would estimate earliest end April TOP

Unit at ClementiWoods sold for $870 psf
The Edge
Monday, 11 March 2010
ClementiWoods
Once seen as a poor cousin to the prime East Coast area, the West Coast is gaining in popularity, with transformation of the entire western region underway.
There are one-north, with Biopolis, its biomedical research cluster, and Fusionopolis, its infocomm and media cluster; wellknown tertiary institutions like the National University of Singapore (NUS) and INSEAD; parkland and green lungs like West Coast Park and Hort Park nearby; and the Clementi MRT station and the Ayer Raja Expressway (AYE), which are also located nearby.
ClementiWoods condominium, located along the quiet West Coast Road neighbourhood near NUS, has been enjoying an uptrend in the prices of units since last June. A high of $974 psf was achieved when a 560 sqft unit was sold for $545,000 last November, surpassing the peak of $819 psf in 2007. The 240-unit condominium, developed by Frasers Centrepoint Homes, is due to receive its temporary occupation permit (TOP) in 1H2010.
For the period of Feb 4 to 12, there were three transactions at ClementiWoods in the price range of $836 to $870 psf, according to caveats lodged with URA Realis.
The owners, who had purchased the units at the launch in 2007, made significant gains. On Feb 11, a 1,130 sqft unit on the 5th floor was sold for $950,000, or $841 psf, netting a 55% gain for the original owner, who bought the unit for $612,000, or $541 psf. On the second floor, two units changed hands. A 1,076 sqft unit was sold for $900,000, or $836 psf. The previous owner had purchased it for $592,000, reaping a gain of 52%. The other sale was for a larger 1,388 sqft unit, which fetched $1.2 million, or $870 psf, translating into a gain of 45%.
Adjacent to ClementiWoods is the 530- unit Varsity Park condominium developed by CapitaLand and completed in 2008. On Feb 11, a 1,991 sqft unit on the 5th floor was sold for $1.6 million, or $828 psf — a 106% gain for the previous owner, who had purchased the unit a year after it was launched in 2005 for $800,320, or $402 psf.
In the Buona Vista area, there has been strong interest in One-North Residences, located within a 200ha development funded by the government for growing the biomedical, infocomm and digital media industries. Prices of the 405-unit condominium, which received TOP last year, have seen strong support at the $1,000 psf level since last July. They hit a high of $1,280 psf last October when a 570 sqft unit on the fourth floor was sold for $730,000.
For the period of Feb 4 to 12, 2 units were sold. It was the 2nd time both units changed hands since the launch of the project in 2007 by the consortium of developers — Kheng Leong, United Overseas Land, and Low Keng Huat. A 592 sqft unit on the 5th floor was sold for $735,000, or $1,242 psf, and prior to this sale, it had changed hands for $645,000 or, $1,089 psf, last August. In 2007, it was sold for $518,914, or $877 psf.
A 1,420 sqft unit on the 10th floor was sold for $1.5 million, or $1,056 psf. The original buyer had purchased the unit for $1.36 million or $957 psf, in June 2007. Before this, it had been sold for $1.15 million, or $814 psf.
Property agents say interest in the West Coast area has also spiked in the run-up to the private preview of Cheung Kong (Holdings)’s The Vision, its highend condominium on West Coast Crescent that is expected to be priced above $1,000 psf.

the developer has submitted the TOP request.....
SPA has installed.....
There's still some interior need to be done, like mirrors, glass door, wall surfacing, guard house wiring, the barrier gate, telecommunication wiring etc.....
At least the landscape is about 90% done.....
Now, its already 13th March....... 2 more weeks will be end March.....
6 more weeks... hopefully they able to TOP by then......
By the way, if you happen to drive pass in the night, you will see the pavement light (lamp pole) being lighted up..... its nice.......
Newbie
Hi etbj, Thanks for your information about TOP. It's such a long waiting!
Btw, do you know how we can get the accurate sizes of the walls and windows in layout before TOP? I hope to begin some preparation from now.
icer_sun
Newbie
I have no clue about this...
But I believe the window size should be somewhat the same as other condo with similar design, take other showroom as reference...... reason..cost and efficiency... perhaps.
The length of the wall does not matter to you if your carpentry work is based on per foot run, unless your carpentry work run exactly the length of the wall, otherwise it should matter to you at all.
Newbie
Thanks for reply. Maybe I did not make it clear.
I just hope to know the the length of each side of the room (not the height) so that I can go to search the furniture and scheme my decoration first.

if you need the exact measurements of your condo, contact your developer. they should be happy to provide you with the dimensions.
Newbie
I sent a request to the developer a while ago asking for the blueprint, but never get any respond from them. I also would like to know the exact measurements for my unit because it will be helpful while shopping the furniture around.
Anyone knows how to get the blueprint?
Global recession is coming....
Developer will have the to-scale floor plan. For older buildings, have to get from BCA (need to pay).
Newbie
How will we know that the development has TOPed? Will the developer send a letter/call us or will the lawyer do so? Thanks.
Newbie
Call the developer.
The developer will inform your lawyer, the lawyer will then inform you through letter...
This is where the finance obligation start to roll in........
It really depend whether your lawyer (well their staff) is efficient enough to process those documents for you...
Most of the time, owners will not receive letter at the same time......it can be few weeks apart......
Newbie
Thanks. So far have not heard from lawyer at all since I bought the place. Can I request future neighbours and frends to post in this forum once they received their letter? So that the rest of us can also go bug our lawyers if we need to, thank you very much
Newbie
I got a letter from lawyer in mid January saying that the TOP is expected to be issued sometime in the second quarter of 2010.Thanks.

And now I'm looking forward to receiving the TOP letter...
It would be great if anyone who receives the TOP letter can post here to share the great news...
Newbie
Yep, I also got the letter from lawyer in Jan saying TOP will be someday in Q2.
But may I know when the owner will get the key? Is it the same time as TOP or later than TOP? thanks.

that depends. We acted as our own solicitor, and we got the key about one month after TOP. If you have hired a lawyer to be your solicitor, you have to wait much longer. Lawyers have many clients, and they don't take care of you immediately.
