On some materials, I saw that there are direct links in basement to the MRT station. Is there? Don't think so right?

If I am not wrong, the plans say there is a 24 hour thoroughfare to the MRT and that's correct. The thoroughfare connect the MRT to B1 which is the Waterway park level.
Newbie
I do hope they TOP soon as it has been almost 5 years !!!
Just cross my fingers as looking at the progress, it seems the units are not outfitted yet, facilities and landscaping also not completed yet.
Newbie
You found your dream unit ?Great news!! You know the guy? If really true, I can commence my transaction now
Newbie
Shortlisted a few, but yet to make offer as I need better clarity on the TOP. Very reluctant to rent to go back parents place to stay if I need to vacate my current place before I can shift in.
Newbie
For the TOP, a more realistic time frame will be Q1 2017 as December is only 3 months+ away and I don't see how they can get everything done by then.
Which towers are you looking at ? I see a few condos unit listing and most of them i believed are from Tower 3.
There was a difference in pricing between the 3 condo towers during the time when the units are released with Tower 1 up to 20% higher I believed.
Newbie
Agree that Q1 2017 is more realistic but I am eager for it to be Dec 16
News from the 'Project Director' himself/herself must count for something right. If the developer want to make it happen, they will have ways with the Main Con to make it happen I believe. Just want or not only.
Looking at listings from tower 2,3,4 and 9. I am open to any full 3 bed unit. Tower 9's stack 79 & 80 is too close to the next blk for my liking so they will be at the bottom half of my shortlist.
Tower 1 highest back then because it is the most 'quiet' blk being the furthest away?
Newbie
They released the stack in phases and with corresponding price increase.Agree that Q1 2017 is more realistic but I am eager for it to be Dec 16

Not sure if Tower 1 will be most quiet as it is beside the town centre. The distribution and design of the towers and stacks are in such a way that I don't think there is a clear cut "winner" in terms of serenity, convenience etc. Boils down to what is most important to you.
For example, Tower 1 residents will need to walk over to Tower 3 if they want to go to Waterway point, resident's car park or roof top tennis court. Tower 4 and 9 are in the center and has good accessibility to the facilities but with main pool and club house in the vicinity, it should be noisier. Also, Tower 4 overlook the outdoor children playground of Waterway Point and I am concerned about the security and privacy. The playground is on raised ground and it is very easy to climb over the low glass barricade into the residential area. Not sure if there will be wired fence around the boundaries.
Newbie
The playground on 2nd floor will be opened this Saturday !

Did a checked with feo on TOP date was 2 mths ago, was told its estimate was Q1.
Those fencing at lvl 2 mall playground was too low, hope they do sometime to it.
Picture of the playground.

Actually for the TOP, we can just look at the construction progress (as of End August) from official source.
eCO
http://www.fraserscentrepointhomes.com/progress/58/eCO/
Watertown
http://www.fraserscentrepointhomes.c.../57/Watertown/
eCO estimated TOP is Dec 2016 and construction progress was 97%.
Watertown construction progress was 87%.
Newbie
Rivertrees Residences is at 82% and TOP is estimated to be Q2 2017.
I think Q1 2017 for Watertown is more realistic.
Newbie
Though I want an earlier TOP but Q1 is definitely more realistic (maybe after CNY). They might be able to rush like what they did with Waterway Point but getting CSC from BCA is not within their control.
Also, I rather they do a good job rather than rush and deliver units with many defects.
Newbie
U r so right!
Double checked with Frasers again - TOP Dec 2016. But bcoz CNY is in Jan 2017 chances are not all keys will be released b4 CNY. Too rush.
However developers hv been pushing Hyundai hard.. .it would take a miracle to see a Dec'16 release...
5 years wait !!!!
Newbie
Yes ! I think Watertown probably get the record for a residential project that took the longest time to TOP. Even Amore EC seems to be progressing further in terms of construction though it only accept application in Dec 2014.
It seems like progress has been slowed down, might be due to the construction of the visitor centre.

Hi hi WT owners
Can I check at wat payment stages are you guys at?
Should be at least 50-55%?
20% - down payment
30% - foundation
40% - RC Framework
45% - brick wall
50% - ceiling
55% - door n window frame
60% - carpark
85% - TOP
100% - CSC
Newbie
In my case, it is at the 50% disbursement as of March 2016.
That's why a few of us here feel that Q1 2016 is more realistic despite what the developer say. The TOP date they provide are estimate only as their only legal obligation is TOP before Dec 2017.
Newbie
Thanks for the reply.
6mth since last payment milestone. Considering that the Carpark is technically already completed (being basement n build together with the mall), I suppose the next payment disbursement milestone should come soon.
Newbie
Yes, I think you are right ! The next payment could be 10% rather than 5%.
Newbie
Hi WT owners
anybody prepared for renovation care to share on this.TIA
Newbie
So it seems that the estimation provided by some of us on the TOP is correct.
I just received an email from Far East saying that TOP is estimated to be obtained by 1st Quarter 2017.

Progress of Watertown in last few months :
End July : 86%
End August : 87%
End September : 89%
As a comparison, RiverTree :
End August : 83%
End September : 87%
Could be resources diverted to building the visitor centre as that's supposed to be completed end 2016.
Newbie
Watertown has reached 92% completion. Not surprisingly, RiverTree has caught up and is at 92% as well.
Newbie
I was at Watertown 2 days ago and saw that quite a few pools have water in them and landscaping has started as well.
Newbie
That's good. Progress progress !!!
Junior
TOP date should be 17 Jan 2017
