nice location. i went down to look at the site. though disappointed that there won't be reservoir view, it is near dtl3 mrt (around 300m from google map), right next to the reservoir for views and exercises and a small neighbourhood centre for food and provisions (ntuc + sheng siong + shop n save !?!). it's also very close to pie for drivers.

i would go for this over euhabitat. but agent stated prices from 1100psf

thanks

I presume that's the one dtrax shared the site photo
from photo, <100 ppl probably - 20% take up rate.

I see mkt stabilize if takeup rate for most condos > 70% - but I cant

if developer lowers psf takeup rate will be high
if developer incorrectly price the psf higher - low takeup rate

what will be the indicators - comparison of surrounding projects older ones - cant because features are different but maybe because thats the closet proximity, ura historical prices 1-1.5mths time lag,

or it is the work of supply demand forces

Next week, UOL Group and Singapore Land intend to roll out their newest project, the 577-unit Archipelago @ Bedok Reservoir, BT understands.
Units at the project are said to be priced tentatively at around $1,100 psf.

Understand that there are a number of potential buyers who ROI their interests for both developments (BR and TA). All the deep pocket buyers already flocked over to BR already.

As it is a low-rise development, I think only selected units in the higher floors can see the elevated reservoir view.

Unless the launch prices are lower than the FEO/FCL Waterfront series, I don't think it will sell as well.

give it a miss for this one...

Badly decomposed body found in Pandan Reservoir

AsiaOne
Wednesday, Nov 23, 2011
SINGAPORE - A highly decomposed body of a man was found at Pandan Reservoir this morning, reported the Lianhe Wanbao.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) received a call at about 9.10am informing them that a body had been found in the reservoir.

Officers got to the scene and pronounced the man dead at about 9.17am.

According to the Chinese daily, the man has been identified as a 30-year-old Chinese national.

Based on the state of decomposition, the body is believed to have been undiscovered for several days.

He was found floating face-down by a PUB staff who was conducting checks around the area.

The deceased was wearing an orange coloured T-shirt and jeans.

Police are still investigating the case. Members of the public who have any information that can assist the police should call 1800-2550000
This is the most recent case in a spate of deaths discovered at Bedok Reservoir.

Six bodies have been recovered since June this year, the last being the body of a Chinese man found on Nov 5.

2nd Bedok waterfront project to be launched


ANOTHER new waterfront private residential development is about to be launched for sale in the Bedok neighbourhood, hot on the heels of CapitaLand's controversial Bedok Residences project.
Called Archipelago, the 577-unit development is a collaboration between the UOL Group and Singapore Land.
Between 180 and 200 units will be up for sale during the first phase of the launch, with preview sales expected to start from tomorrow.
Situated in Bedok Reservoir Road, facing the reservoir, it is priced below the recently launched CapitaLand project nearby, which sparked debate on its queuing system for applicants.
Average prices for Archipelago are slightly above $1,000 psf. It is understood that the smallest 527 sq ft one-bedroom units will be priced below $600,000, which translates to around $1,138 psf.
Bedok Residences achieved an average selling price of $1,350 psf. Showroom lists priced a 517 sq ft one-bedroom unit from $669,200, which works out to $1,295 psf.
Apartments at Archipelago are a mix of one-, two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom units and penthouses.
Units with studies are also available. Homes are larger too, averaging 1,332 sq ft.
The Straits Times was also told bigger units make up a majority of the homes at the development, with two- and three-bedroom apartments making up 63 per cent of the total homes.
Twenty-four strata-titled landed homes are also included. Foreigners will be eligible to buy the three-storey homes of more than 4,000 sq ft, expected to cost above $3 million each.
Archipelago's developers have appointed DTZ, Savills, Knight Frank and CBRE as the marketing agents for the project.
Giving an update on sales figures, a CapitaLand spokesman said more than 80 per cent of the 583 apartments at Bedok Residences have been sold since the project went on sale last week.
