    Believe Upper Thomson address will be more well received by buyers rather than a Sin Ming Walk address...., wonder if there will be a U turn by URA on this as I am sure developer will try to ask for waiver to get Upper Thomson address...

    Naturally the address of upper thomson road will be more well received. So the drive way is from sin Ming walk. That road will serve 3 developments and 2 schools. Not fun.

    More restriction, a pity vehicle access cannot be from Thomson side

    http://www.ura.gov.sg/sales/UppThoms...Rd-main(L).htm

    Q6 *
    Can a pedestrian entrance to the proposed development be created along Upper Thomson Road near to the existing bus stop ?
    A6 *
    A side pedestrian entrance gate can be provided at Upper Thomson Road to facilitate the residents of the proposed residential development to gain access to the existing bus stop along Upper Thomson Road.
    Q7 *
    Can vehicular ingress and/or egress be allowed from Jalan Tambur ?
    A7 *
    Based on consultation with LTA, the vehicular access from Jalan Tambur for the proposed residential development would not be permitted.

    Agree, which will be $1200-1300psf. U will bang on strong points of this development:

    -near good school like AiTong,
    -Next to Bishan Park
    -Units facing facing reservoir could have green and extensive view
    -near to nature reserve in Lower Pierce Reservoir
    -closeby to SICC, and Thomson Plaza
    ...

    they bought the land at a higher price than when FEO bought centro's land. they have a track record of selling higher than FEO. there's a strong tendencu they're going to price it higher than FEO, unless they're looking to move the units quickly.

    Height restriction if it's the same as the neighbouring condo, they can build up to 20 floors.

    Think i read somewhere the height restriction of 5 storeys only applicable to part of the plot (ie the portion nearer the temple), other portion can still built high and get reservoir view.

    Temple is

    Kiew Lee Tong Temple
    5 Jalan Tambur
    576778
    6453 8189

    Enter from Upper Thomson road..., Jalan Tambur..

    Pity that Development can't have entrance on Upper Thomson side.., Best would have been 2 entrance...one at Sin Ming Walk and other at Upper Thomson side..

    Low rise building will probably be the club house with all the facilities. If the entrance was at upper thomson, then the could have the clubhouse next to the driveaway entrance. Now they need to be a lot more intelligent on the design.

    Am sure, they must have done their homework, trust these HK developer who work with even tighter land constraint in HK to be creative...

    cos they only get sun 3 months in a year, so they enjoy it, here we complain too much sun cos we get it 9months in a year, after discounting the year end rainy season.

    No news about this project launch. But given their style, it won't be cheap.

    you're right, did a google and i found some CBRE agents listing it as a soon to launch project.

    I think it's been a very long time since some developer combined strata houses with a high rise condo. hmmm...

    Their head talked about building big luxurious units instead of following the same route the others were taking in going smaller. Looking at those sizes below, they really mean it. And if it's really at 1400-1500, the quantum won't be small!

    This was the breakdown given:

    Condominium Development comprising 9 blocks of 20-storey flats and 22 2-storey Strata Houses with 1 Basement Carpark, Swimming Pool and other ancillary facilities.

    Total No. of units: 361 (339 apartments + 22 Strata Houses)

    Expected TOP: End 2014

    Unit Sizing:
    2Br: Est 933 - 1,033sf
    3Br: Est 1,312 - 1,806sf
    4br: Est 1,654 - 2,073sf
    3Br PH: Est 1,493 - 1,586sf
    4Br PH: Est 1,798 - 2,192sf
    4Br+1 Strata House: 4,818 - 6,611sf
