A small development along River Valley, at the junction of Killiney and Kim Yam. 33 studio apartments. Asking for $12xx psf. TOP in June 2011. Any advise on whether if it is a good investment?
http://www.propertyguru.com.sg/project/1477/attitude-@-kim-yam
Killiney Rd does not meet Kim Yam Rd at all so what junction are you talking about?
Do you mean River Valley Rd and Kim Yam Rd instead.
To be honest, Kim Yam Rd is not comfortable at all, with narrow rd and temple. Really overcrowded with small and big condos literally squeezed side by side. No sense of space at all. Feel like living in HK. This claustrophobic feeling is compounded by small units, few units, few facilities, tiny land area.
If they dare to launch at 1800psf i'll tell them to fly kite.
Although I live in River Valley and I love the area, I would not recommend anyone to buy a lousy smallish place here just for the sake of it being River Valley. There are other older, better located condos in Rv that you could consider for a lower psf price which translates into similar quantum price as a new build, for more space. I am not talking about Pacific Mansion, there are other newer and better maintained ones that are now going for a bargain now.
Else, consider Newton area. The buildings there more spaced out, more modern and the area is newer and not so dingy.

agree
during festive seasons and weekends..the temple is so crowded and traffic is bad ...
i still cannot understand why people still paying 1200-1700 psf for tiny units in RV area ..
do consider Valley Park ..maybe old but the blocks are so so far apart .. literally can build another block in between ..

why pay so much to be near your neighbouring block ?
just want to clarify that by newton area, I certainly did not mean lincoln rd area. that area is just as congested, although it's newer than kim yam and more residential in nature.
I meant that the residence@evelyn side is very pleasant and more spaced out and I feel its a good area, much better than kim yam.

yes Evelyn side quieter and better .. also a few boutique projects there ..8 -10mins walk to Newton MRT
was quoted about $900psf for one of the boutique penthouses in that area, dun know if it's still available. that stretch (evelyn/buckley) is really quite serene and exclusive area.
I knew this project in early March.
Its 33 units in total with progressive payment.
Left 7 more now.
smallest units is 366 sq ft
biggest units is 688 sq ft

Sneaked inside recently and omg units all so claustrophobic and ceiling super low maybe evenlower than hdb...
It looks like it will TOP in few months time. Owners better faster get rid of their units before buyers can go inside and view and get a shock.

Developer is King & King..., not heard of them..., think they laughing their way to the Bank$
Really 2.4m ceiling? You didn't make mistake? :doh:
The older condos usually 3m ceiling. Newer ones heard mostly about 2.8m high ceiling only?

Haha that shows how unsecured the Place is when u can sneak in. Dun they have any security railing or fencing?
Maybe 2.8m ceiling before false ceiling, but from picture, really look low like the 2.4m that u say to ceiling board....:D
So far most condo I know also have 2.8m..., somehow lower ceiling tend to make size even look smaller...

I dun think 2.4m lah too incredible to believe leh. Maybe 2.6m. The window certainly looks tall.

2.4 is to the false ceiling la aiyo... In the skyscrap forum orady kena flamed... Wa lao... Not machiam i god or wat whatevr i say may not be gospel truth lor i only heard from the agent representing the seller. No reason for him to lie right... If pple wanna flame go and measure it themselves when they get the keys lor yawnzzz

The 'walk in' go timing one. If too early no access at all or maybe dangerous. If too late all the units door locked liao go in also cant see finishing workmanship etc. And time or day matters too... If the cheena or bangla hard at work will get stopped... If tea break or rest or wat then they may not pay so much attn....

No worries la, not vested, just KPO. Well, if owners know they are getting 2.4m when they signed, then they shouldn't complain, but I guess many don't even bother to ask. All I know if project is high ceiling say 3m or more, during launch, agent will hard sell and highlight how high ceiling is....

Good question, just check one of the s&p , under specification never state ceiling height..., only make reference to building plan approved by BCA, other details like furnishing have....wonder if any of yours do state ceiling height?

Well I quite like this dev or anything that has conserved shophse because it has lotsa charm. If this proj is bugger in scale and perhaps not baby size lap pool I will def consider. Btw dun see the gym is there one? Any pic to show the front gate view or in first place is it gated or like Martin edge, more like card access to lift??!

I'm not surprised all the future MM that is going to flood the market in the next few years gonna look like this - low ceiling, claustrophobic, poor quality, horrendous view of concrete. So we might be shocked today, but next time, this will become the "norm". Really going from first world to third world. Most HDB flats look better and more spacious and airy.

U could be right. With better educated young adults who choose to live on their own they could well manage a single mm unit. Sin will become japan with small houses

I have lived like that for the past 5 years and I love the freedom and responsibility associated with taking care of myself and the house. Despite my nick, MM is not by choice but for me a single working guy it is easier and more time and cost effective to manage. Hey I am not some highly paid expatriate who can afford part time maid 3x a week ok!

Then, there is also the matter of whether the mechanised carpark is a good fit for users' cars. Ms Indranee Rajah, the MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC, received a resident's request for a season-parking label to park outside her Kim Yam Road apartment in August after the latter realised that her car could not fit because of the height limit of the condominium's mechanised carpark.
'The first thing these carpark developers need to make sure is that the vehicles commonly in use at the time can fit into the systems they design,' said Ms Indranee. 'And developers should make it known to their customers about any limitations the systems have, so people won't buy units and realise later that they can't park inside.'

Could be. Lots of complaints over mechanized car park in small developments with no space. Apparently took 7 minutes just to retrieve one car. And during peak hours, there is always a queue, so if you're third in the queue, it probably means close to 30 minutes (21 minutes + 9 minutes getting in and adjusting and driving off) to retrieve your car. Most pple would have reached the office in 30 min, while you are still waiting for your car. Pathetic.
Awkward pool shape, awkward layout for units, awkward deco...

Thats not very high is it... For that purchase price.
Actually if you compare original purchase price in 2010 at 500k++, it is cheap to the max. Easily 6+% gross yield?
