    Ok jus came backfrom this project's showflat.. The commercial shops doesn't look so promising after all.

    I Imagined it will be a shopping mall kind of project - but from what I see, developer merely sellig the commercial units as 'shops'.

    No anchor tenant, no clear demarcation which space to be used for fnb, lifestyle corner. Just purely small cubicles for sale as 'commercial umits'.

    What the heck man.. Marketing brochure / artist impression looks damn good.. With vibrant mix of cages, shops.. But seems like this project will turn flat into another Serangoon shopping centre (dead environment) if this is how it's going to be handled.

    all these small developers out for profits by selling retail shops. all these small commercial/retail/residential mixed developments have unproven track record.

    pricing not out yet.. 5th april then they know officially.
    but agent expected conservatively ard 1450psf.. could be cheaper than that.

    geez, totally turned off man if really 1450psf, either that or the agent serving me lousy



    but hey if really 1450, minton owners shd be smiling from ear to ear


    ok maybe really true 1450psf, but with whatever early bird discount that amounts to ard 20%, after discount price (80%) is 1160psf. Not so bad, but still not very attractive for me..

    Just went to the showflat.. so super small..only display the 1 bedder.

    The agent had very limited knowledge when I ask her questions. Anyway, she told me price not out but the gauge for 1 bedder is from 1200-1400psf but 3 bedder & abv, which they call them Pent house is ard $10xx to $13xx psf.

    btw, they have 270 shops but they are all super small. The smallest she showed me is 14sqm..dunno can sell what..lol

    Yup I find the agent who served me is very clueless also.. Nit very happy at all with their service.

    Agency better buck up their performance.. Even if it's Huttons but based on current situation they may have a hard time with this project.

    This one has open-air concept shopping mall*. I'm not sure if this will make it popular with shoppers. The focus is on commerical (as the psf is much higher probably in the range of $2500-4500 psf) and probably the agent is given a higher commission to push for commercial units.

    I passed by Primo Residences also. The units near or facing the park are super noisy due to teenagers playing there. Good luck to the owners/tenants.

    * I suspect Watertown also has a similar open-air concept mall (anyone can confirm?)

    Day time noisy still ok. As long as lights off they stop then no issue. Can call police if they still playing when lights off.

    Our policemen will be very busy with this rather than working on major crimes...

    Anyway I think it is okay for the teenagers to have good clean fun with their friends at the park. It is just poor design on developer's part to site some units facing the park directly.

    Finally a subsale in Primo Residences recently.

    It will b worrying if there r just a handful of commercial units (say less than 30 shops) in this mixed development, don't think can survive. But 270?! But think someone mentioned there's no themes/zones, so may end up rojak. Still, good for the neighboring residents.

    Actually if the developer plans the use of the shops well, with the right mix, the place can be self-supporting. The worry is when developer is only interested in selling out the shops to any Tom, Dick or Harry...

    How can the developer not do anything to manage the mix.. What if 270 shops all intend to sell say bubble tea, then how? That will take 9mths to try out all

    wow, if there's a sizable supermarket, i think prices of nearby developments will increase too. How's the transport like for this area? nearest MRT is all the way out @ kovan right?

    how were the 1 bedders priced?

    Primo owners won't bang their heads as majority of those who bought during preview got it for less than $1k/psf for typical units.

    I am very interested to know how much is promenade's psf for their 1+1?
    Montaigne can advise?
    I am vested in Primo thus interested to know how it will affect my pricing.

    Glad to hear a supermarket might be coming.
    I suppose Montaigne got your unit there.
    Congrats on your new purchase!
