    I saw the model at the showflat they got function rooms 1 & 2. Also, was told that the badminton hall doubles as a huge function room as well. But, that would be quite hard to book.

    Badminton hall also likely venue for the 1000 people AGM. Dunno got good buffet food anot?

    Yes.. the heated pool would be a favorite gathering spot for morning dips too and when the weather is getting chilly like at 8pm??? 20m may be too short!!! Also for those visitors who wants to dip in the pool so they visit their relatives or friends staying there!!! Hahaha!!!!

    3 worlds is indeed attractive but the only drawback is the huge number of residents. Sigh! Not sure how tight security can be with some 2000 to 3000 residents moving in and out of the guardhouse daily? Plus the initial renovation works with contractors moving in and out, etc. Its gonna be like so so insecure? Busybodies can just sneak in easily amidst the chaos and confusions? Hmmm... cause for concern?

    can give more than 1 unit when visiting and the guards would have a hard time calling.

    I'm visiting uncle A in world A - phone check = not in

    I'm visting auntie B in world b - phone check = not in

    I'm visting my friend C in world c - phone check = not in

    I'm....

    After 3 times, security guard fed up and say u write down your particulars and go in, go in pls.

    I'm a housing agent, dropping flyers. BTW, chinese saying on 3 worlds = heaven, current world and Hell. So u have hell among them.

    All the best to the security guards... no rest for whole day... minus card holders, if there are 30 contractor vehicles and another 150 visitors a day moving in and out, I'd not want to work as Minton security guards man... maybe their resume will look super impressive... if you can survive as a minton security guard, you can most certainly survive anywhere...

    like this... either no guards or no checks.. owners must use side gate and must open the gate for visitors.

    guards will guard the guard house only and ensure that the cars dun knock it down.

    Car must have transponders.

    Visiting cars, vehicle IU must be key-in by owner prior to visit.

    ERP like scan car vehicle IU for auto entry through gantry

    so easy right? Technology. Room for improvement areas.

    Still need to monitor how many visitors inside the visiting car entering leh!!! If contractor bring in 10 workers then exit with only 9, security guards still think they are doing a fantastic job then ... scanning IU still not enough lah!!! Then must also exchange for visitor's pass otherwise residents wait scared of unauthorized intruders??? Then call police!!! Sigh!!! Must improve technology with these considerations too!!!

    funny that u mention this. Exclusive is defined by how many units in a developement? In the first place its funny to think that pple are looking for exclusivity in hougang to begin with. i always though pple buy OCR condos for better and relatively safer living environment and to be near their parents?

    Some condo implement that for gym already. Minton need very good and tight security system to manage it's exclusivity. People factor also important. Guard need a big team and must be well trained. Also need to patrol more frequent so that people don't misbehave.

    Exclusivity in condo lifestyle living is the 80s and 90s concept when the 5Cs were hot discussion topics. Today, HDB upgraders are buying condos for every sort of reasons, from staying near parents to staying near schools to buying a lifestyle to staying near children to buying a retirement home, etc. So both also right.

    In fact, the word exclusive implies less crowd, quiet environment, etc so number of units does play a role on that and there are exclusive condos in Hougang! Your definition of exclusivity might veer more towards that of CCR where its decorated with porsh and uniqueness, a class above the rest. Slightly different understanding from ours lah!!! But both also correct definition!
