That's the only reason why they can sell at those prices.

Newspaper do free publicity for sky habitat to drum up awareness...

The trend has been psf high, but quantum low. This one psf high, quantum high. If it manages to sell well, it means Singaporeans have deep deep pockets, cos those who buy this are only the tip of the iceberg.

I do not think you can buy a decent condition freehold landed in that location for that price. Even the "original condition" ones are asking a lot. Remember this is within 1 km to Ai Tong School yet not so near to the huge temple to be uncomfortable. And it is an easy stroll/jog/cycle ride to Bishan Park/Lower Pierce Reservoir. Sure have no problem getting tenants with families. They like that kind of ambience to be near to park/greenery.

I think Capland marketing is drumming up a frenzy abt the high psf. Then when launched will be many discounts that bring the price down realistically.

But I agree the upward psf trend benefits RCR/Bishan condo owners.

What was the psf? When it was first launched it didn't look amazingly attractive leh.

They were promoting their iconic container stacking design.

HDB to a condo near MRT and mall is an upgrade in life-style to me, simply because it is a status upgrade and I can get to use the facilities and enjoy the additional security.

There could be more and more MRT/Malls coming up 10 to 20 years. Or transport services improved with more bus/LRT connection or running parallel to MRT lines. Amenities and transport infra around your estate can change. Your analysis and intel must be chun. The space that you bought will never change.

Ambience sux. Next or near to the temple and main road. I wouldn't buy a newly renovated/A&A done by other ppl. The place may fall apart/leak/crack within a short period of time. A lot of short cuts/shoddy workmanship these days. I haven't stepped into those. But the last "renovated" landed house I stepped into in that area was so full of lousy workmanship I don't want to see another one again. When I retire, I will get an original condition one and do my own A&A. Hopefully by that time, my dd would stick to her original wish to do architecture.

Developer has very big units. Quantum about 2mil.
For the psf, the finishing and interior is lousy. Not even marble flooring.

Location is great for those who drive

interlace, dleedon.....i suspect this one same

**fclim** · 30-03-12, 09:05

There is a risk that all the land surrounding this project and nearer to the MRT/Mall might end up as BTOs or ECs. Then what happens to this?

**azeoprop** · 30-03-12, 09:06

the 2 bedder 893sqft so big but only got 1 bathroom?!

Quite true. Maybe that's why the strata house in TG sold out so quickly

The chance of this is not neglible. It can happen. Isn't there an EC next to Catholic High? Not sure what that devt is (not Clover - on the opposite side of the road right next to Catholic High.
