    Only Hillview Heights and Glendale Park close to MRT. Hume Park as well.

    Foresque is indeed quite far from MRT. I expect to have buses service in the future.
    Is Hume park near to future mrt? Are u sure?

    It's a pack of lies. Canadian international school would have long moved away by the time the project is completed. CIS will move this year in October. I should know. My sons are in there.

    Also, traffic in this neck of wood is horrible. the estimates of 10 or 15 minutes for travelling to this or that place is for when the world has come to an end and the dinosaurs have come back to rule.

    If everyone thinks that it is over-priced, will be bad.
    I am voting with my feet. SO, you will have one less person to jostle with in the showroom.
    But then, I dun mind older(and cheaper) buys.

    The reponse for the pre-pre-view was quite strong based on information that was leaked, think they are not supposed to indicate the sales figure publicly at this point apparently.

    However those who dismissed this area might be a bit myoptic, just as the chorus of doubters who dismissed properties in Jurong aka JLD......

    I can't agree more. Take TH for example; i can feel that most of the pple in this forum have dismissed that area and it was not justifier to pay the px for that type of ulu place. Guess what, that project had been fully sold in less than a year!

    Wing Tai launches new condo tomorrow

    By UMA SHANKARI


    WING Tai Holdings will launch its latest residential project, Foresque Residences at Upper Bukit Timah, tomorrow.


    Natural luxury: Foresque Residences features five towers that are designed for maximum sense of space and openness

    The 496 units in the 99-year-leasehold development on Petir Road are priced from $850 per square foot (psf) to $1,300 psf. The smallest units, 463-sq-ft one-bedders, start from $550,000, while 'cabana garden' units start from $1.75 million.

    Wing Tai won the site in a state land tender in October last year with its top bid of $345 psf per plot ratio (ppr).

    Foresque Residences is designed by award-winning architects Arc Studio, with whom Wing Tai collaborated for L'VIV, its high-end project on Newton Road. As at end-March 2011, 103 apartments in the 147-unit L'VIV had been sold, with the sole unit sold in March going for $2,200 psf.

    Foresque Residences' design exploits to the fullest advantage the natural greenery and tranquillity of the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, and offers views of the Upper Seletar and Upper Pierce Reservoirs, Wing Tai said.

    The 24-storey development features five towers that are designed for maximum sense of space and openness. The design features aim to capture the unsurpassed expanse of natural luxury that the Cashew estate affords, said Edmund Cheng, deputy chairman of Wing Tai.

    Len Siew Lian, Wing Tai's general manager for property, said she is confident that Foresque Residences will be well-received by the market. The pricing is 'commensurate' with the quality and value of the development, she added.

    Elsewhere, Hoi Hup Realty will soon start to market The Forester @ Mount Faber, its 141-unit freehold development on Wishart Road. It is located on the site of the former Pender Court, which Hoi Hup bought in a collective sale in June 2010 for $915 psf ppr.

    Units in The Forester @ Mount Faber are priced at around $1,800 psf on average, BT understands.

    Foresque Residences sets new price mark

    By Cheryl Lim


    PROPERTY developer Wing Tai Holdings will be launching the Foresque Residences project at record prices for the Upper Bukit Timah area.

    Market watchers say the nearby Petir LRT and Hillview MRT stations could be driving the prices up.

    The 99-year leasehold project is on a 244,000 sq ft site on Petir Road, and consists of five 24-storey towers.

    The 496-unit development includes one- bedroom to four-bedroom units, penthouse apartments and special cabana garden units.

    Prices start from $1,150 per sq ft (psf) for a 463 sq ft one-bedroom unit, while its penthouses, which are from 1,119 sq ft to 2,573 sq ft in size, are going for up to $1,200 psf.

    Homes near the upcoming Hillview MRT station have already set price benchmarks. Units at The Lanai on Hillview Avenue sold at an average of $1,450 psf last December.

    But units nearer the Petir LRT station are still cheaper. Units at the Tree House condominium, which is next to Foresque Residences, sold for an average of $809 psf last July.

    Mr Ong Kah Seng, senior manager for Asia-Pacific research at Cushman & Wakefield, said the stations are likely to support sales of new property projects.

    'This is especially true for buyers looking to ride on the capital appreciation of a project,' he said.

    He added that the Upper Bukit Timah area would be more accessible and connected to the rest of Singapore when the Downtown Line 2 is completed.

    Although Foresque Residences is a leasehold property, its pricing has overshadowed those of freehold resale properties in the neighbourhood.

    Mr Ong said such freehold projects in the Upper Bukit Timah vicinity are commanding average prices of about $1,100 psf, depending on the development's age, location, design and amenities.

    Foresque Residences is also near the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Bukit Panjang Primary School and CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace.

    It is expected to receive its temporary occupation permit in June 2015.

    The project's preview launch will be held tomorrow.

    ...haha many are just say-say only but cannot afford in the first place.....those who can would likely not so quick to condemn any location....At the going rate, income level of potential buyers should be close to 10K per month, even with 1oK, the buyers need to fork out the initial 200-300K down payment...so those without existing property will be hard press to come out with the sum....unless they have other avenues/income...like shares etc.

    So why the craze over for rescue buyers?

    Illogical. So good must wait till top and see the owners, staying it it or not.

    There are many. U can do a search.

    CDL/WT in this business for many years, your statement is not a fair one. There are many components to consider when pricing for a property. It's not only what u mentioned "99lh, no mrt, no amenities" to determine the 1kpsf.

    U have to look further than the next few years. A completed building will be standing there for the next 40 years or so, especially in spore, things change rapidly. Our living environment will be improved. Spore not much vacant land left for sale. Whenever there's one, developers will grab. Sooner or later, we are getting properties that are re-develop thru en-bloc, and it's not easy to get 1kpsf anymore.

    If based on what u consider, meaning wait for mrt and amenities to come & then worth paying 1kpsf...hmm...shortsighted maybe.
