Talking about closeness... the Quintet (Executive) Condo is also very close. I think at some point the two rows of blocks are less than 10 m.Originally Posted by devilplate
Yee ha! Did I tickle your funny bone?
Go for Smallest Unit
Yup, that's better. Only diff is a shopping center but seriously, to stay in bedok, shop at ikea, giant or courts better.

No wonder Isle is selling like hot cake...

Looks like there is hope for starbuys here haa haa...
2 more flop projects I can think of are Cityscape @ farrer park and Flamingo valley.

Waterfont Gold offer furniture voucher too... Better go for waterfront Gold

have to look at developer, CEL, property arm of Chip Eng Seng, renowned for building HDB flats.

tats y i tink their breakeven only 750psf+-....imagine how much they earn if u buy a 1300psf 1bedder from them...
their pricing is even slightly higher den lakefront and this is launched after cooling measures....most likely got 5% rebate later on....but still ex...nid at least 10-15% rebate to be reasonable....LOL
imo, their pricing shd follow Isle....

location wise:simei is definitely better. u can gauge by comparing the hdb prices in simei n bedok reservoir,simei wins hands down.its a clear indication simei is more popular.

It is easier to sell at Simei due to large number of HDB upgraders. Those 1997 flats around the MRT is transacting at 500psf (5br around 620-640k).
DBR 1br is asking 1200psf++ now. Not cheap as well.
Bedok reservoir no MRT and shopping mall, that's why HDB valuation lower but will definitely change once DTL3 is up.
Go for Smallest Unit
Over priced.
More hdbs coming.
DBR 1200 too high now. 1000 acceptable.

Sad to say yes, my previous unit is facing TS, which will get too much hot sun, so I decided to sell and buy Waterfront Isle 1br with unblocked view and very little west sun instead (in a way deleverage on the way up from investment point of view). But I am still staying at Simei and very proud of this little gem. I am looking forward to visit DBR at TOP time
BTW, CBP is really a huge success, just be patient to wait for 4th university with MIT brand name.

I'm sure you have made a good profit from DBR to leverage your buy at Isle. Which stack did you buy? was looking at 35 & 36 but most were sold out.Sad to say yes, my previous unit is facing TS, which will get too much hot sun, so I decided to sell and buy Waterfront Isle 1br with unblocked view and very little west sun instead (in a way deleverage on the way up from investment point of view).

Since it has a roof garden to see the entire lake, so I went for school/parkview unit at stack 30 at about 960psf (I don't like direct west-sun units with partial reservoir view as it will be too hot to enjoy unless the tenants/owners are super sun lovers)

any updates on the sale figures?

One of the picture in the brochure shows the gym (located above the MSCP) overlooking the pool, but it also shows that all the living and bedrooms can be seen clearly from the gym. Potential buyers pls do take note.

I think those higher floors facing the landed houses to the south are the only ones worth considering.
The pool facing ones are too close together.

those north facing 1 bedder with window stretching across whole length of apartment fascinates me ~I think those higher floors facing the landed houses to the south are the only ones worth considering.

Kudos to Far East, when they started selling Ang Mo Kio at 1,200psf, lots of people said crazy, now it is proven everywhere that near MRT with shopping mall can sell 1,200psf e.g. The Tennery, Lakefront Residences, and this project.
Junior
1.3k PSF? Both are HDB and pure 99LH sites but in terms of image and views, Bedok Reservoir better. Bedok Reservoir should do better when DTL3 is up and running.
Senior
Yes I like that design as well, too bad the facing cannot make it. It would be great if such design is facing a nature park or reservoir or the sea.

If you buy My Manhattan at 1300psf, might as well buy Optima at Tanah Merah subsale at 1100psf. 15th storey vs 12the storey, basement carpark vs MSCP, marble vs home tile, faster to move in too, need I say more?
Junior
Looks like in developers/investors mind:-
Within 5 min walk to to MRT station = new prime
Within 5 min walk to MRT station + freehold = super prime
Junior
nothing is perfect

Might as well buy central at 1800 psf. Or lavendar for 1500 psf. 1300 psf for simei is nuts.
