If there are HDB around, govt will try to add more facilities or upgrading around the common areas & nearby food centre. Cons, haven't think of it yet...

The only Cons I see is the heavy traffic now will be added on further..

720 units of BTO coming opposite... hmm.. get ready bros..

i agree with this. i hope gov will upgrade the hawker centre/shops and also one day get rid of the hdbs immediately outside the mrt. once this is done, BK will be a much nicer area.

Disappointing. Was hoping it would be a condo with retail space.

Anyone knows how old are the HDBs surrounding the MRT?

Currently the hawker center and food courts are concentrating near the MRT. With the new BTO, I expect to see them more spreaded out and possibly a supermarket.

Those flats there are at least 30 years

I notice that those blocks were recently painted. So chances are, they will be there for another 5++ years.

If they get en-bloc, are there nearby plots of land to vacate the residents to?

there is gonna be plenty of new hdbs sprouting out in bidadari, which is nearby. might be possible that should these hdbs get enbloc-ed the residents will be shifted there. u think so?

Usually the en-bloc replacement site is in the immediate vicinity. Bidadari is kinda a distance away.

81.6% sold as of July

86% sold as of August. Sales seem to have picked up, with 22 units sold in the month. Wonder if anyone knows whether the developer is dangling new discounts. No advertisements for a long time already leh.

Looking great! When do you think it will top?

[timmy]

21 units sold in step, the 4th best selling project in the month. Project is more than 88% sold as of sep. Not bad at all. I think the completion of sports hub is one of the recent driver of demand. As the project nears completion, I expect another wave of buying by those looking for occupation in near term.

[iforum81]

Yeah. last 100 units... jia you!

Crossed the 90% sold mark as of end October, with 16 units sold in the month. Should not be too difficult for developer to clear bulk of remaining stock over next 1 year before TOP.

Based on current progress, possible for project to TOP by mid-2015? Grateful for views from the experts here. Trying to do some forward planning.

[KCT]

Thanks Azeo for the update picture.

Timmy, the TOP won't be so fast ..
The waiting time for BCA approval itself may take one to two months .
I think Q1 2016 it's more realistic timeframe for TOP
Cheers

Based on 9xx units, a more realistic time frame is 2016 Q2/3.
