seriously, i oso donoe why it is so high...but based on all the FEO projects i have seen, their maintenance fees tend to be on the high side...Originally Posted by kane
always near $300.
I just hope the high fees is aligned with higher quality of maintenance.
for that number of units, as long as the management fees aren't astronomical, you can expect to have a very fat sinking fund.Originally Posted by Panerex77
The price for ATT and Watertown will appreciate by the time Wee Hur project launch. So you can't buy today Watertown and ATT price by then.Originally Posted by Xan
i don't think wee hur will take their time to launch their project. there's almost the possibility of more CMs in the horizon. might as well strike while the iron is hot and ride on the watertown craze.Originally Posted by beepbeep
Dont go. Sometimes you cant resist the tenptationOriginally Posted by kane
utter stupidity opens opportunities to the competent
Watertown is still the best among 3. But i hv doubts in terms of its profit margin when it is priced kinda high. A 560sqft sells at 650k approx. I cannot imagine anyone will buy from me at 700k plus in future esp when we are talking it at punggol. I will give it a miss.Originally Posted by Panerex77
dropped in 3pm at about, and learnt
1.highest price done was 4 bedders facing the waterway, >$1500 psf or $2m.
2. about 480 units out of 500 units launched
gave up the as the showflat was so packed with loud music....
The frontage is not at the water ways. I guess that would be reason enough that it would be price lower.Originally Posted by Xan
Capitaland will be relieved to see FEO selling 1500psf at punggol. There's some hope they will get out in one piece on their Bishan project. Having said that, the bidding for the adjacent Bishan plot will be interesting.Originally Posted by Laguna
Quite impressed by how many people are willing to bite at such high quantums for a Punggol apartment. Dropped by the showflat quickly and it was really very full, and was quoted about $1m for a 2 bedroom facing the lrt tracks on the 3rd floor.Originally Posted by kane
Quite ridiculous, frankly speaking.

And I was told that the final tower of residences was released this morning with 3 bedroom units starting from 1.25m. Well, at least KBW now knows who's driving the housing market.Originally Posted by kane
(Not who he thought, that's for sure.)
Next cooling measure should be to ban Far East from bidding for any land parcel for 5 years. They tend to set out of the world pricing.Originally Posted by bluedurian
what waterway - its so muddy - on paper its all blue and nice but on site....
go and see it to know what u r buying into - hats off for sleek advertising

It's a man-made river.
Anyway, they bought this land for a billion right? Of course they have to sell expensively.
Yee ha! Did I tickle your funny bone?
Good for those in the vicinity who did not buy any FEO projects, I suppose?Originally Posted by Kenshinto80
And I do feel quite bad for those who were persuaded into paying upwards of $1m for a 2 bedroom in Punggol facing the LRT tracks.
Even more interesting quite a number r buying for investment and thinking that they can be easily rented out...Originally Posted by bluedurian
Good luck to the investors
If buying Watertown at 1500 psf still can sell 1700psf in near future, then I guess no other properties in Singapore will incur any loss in near future.
Even the idea of selling Watertown at $1300-1400psf is a foreign one. FEO obviously overhyped the mall (which honestly isn't really all that large) and the waterway (which as someone correctly pointed out here, is murky brown).Originally Posted by Xan
Tat the wonder of FEOOriginally Posted by bluedurian
at those prices, i wonder if they should be described as specuvestors more...Originally Posted by Allthepies
err... i would not say its 'the wonder of FEO'
but more likely its the gullibility of the newbie investors
who flock in a herd like mentality without proper homework

Huge crowds flock to Watertown showflat

SINGAPORE: It's the second day of the Lunar New Year and while most were out and about visiting friends and relatives, hundreds flocked to the Watertown showflat in Punggol Central.
The S$1.6 billion project has attracted brisk sales since the launch on January 20, and 500 units out of 596 released have been snapped up (as at Tuesday 9pm).
Buyers made sure they took time off from visiting relatives and friends to check out the showflats.
A lady said: "We've done visiting already. So we wanted to do some shopping around for a house. The units have already been sold pretty fast, so we are trying to grab some opportunity and see if we can get some good deals before it gets fully sold."
A man said: "This Chinese New Year, we had some spare time and I think the Watertown project is exciting. Punggol is an up and coming town to be in. Look at the vibrancy here! It's a great place to be here on Chinese New Year!"
Another shared similar sentiments: "We took some time off from visiting friends and relatives just to take a look at Watertown because we thought we just come by and look at the showflat, and of course to check out the pricing as well."
Watertown is the first integrated waterfront development in Singapore.
It is situated directly above Waterway Point that will host popular shops, boutiques and Singapore's first basement cinema.
The 992-unit development comprises Suites, SOHO apartments, Sky Patios and Residences and the price ranges from S$980 to S$1,500 per square foot.

time for them to take out their centro to sell again since punggol just did 1500psf. *shakes head*
But I think they work in tandem though. Only newbie investors would be swayed by having a mall "3x the size of Wisma Atria" under their apartments when A Treasure Trove is located just across the road and made headlines less than 6 months ago for significantly lower prices.Originally Posted by ppty
this is really pushing for CM6. far east alone will have sold more than 1000 units in jan 2012.
