So is it echelon astronomical and sky habitat ex or is it echelon ex and sky habitat is cheap.

[Khng8]

Is it the finishing or the location that separate the two?

[kane]

Finishing cannot cost that much more for an apartment.

Wondering will the buyer earn a profit when he or she sell, crazy price!

[wklibran]

In my opinion, both played apart. In addition, the recent land sale price to the later projects gave CDL the opportunity to push up prices as they wish, to test the market.

And apparently, they succeeded. more than 70% sold within 2 weeks. Lucky counter and good timing.

Yes, Luck and Timing and Location.

Gave everyone the very atas feeling to belong to the highest Echelon.

May have triggered CM7.

its is not the cost of goods but quality, image and feels of luxury that make people want to pay more. Same goes to luxury goods, you dont ask what is the cost, you check the quality and gauge how it makes you feel.

That is true.
Bishan after all is HDB town. This one can claim to be tanglin fringe. Look at the advert, what kind of image it s portraiting.
It's all the same : Asians tend to like "face".

yes, that's why most 2nd hand luxury goods end up being sold at a loss, with the exception of Rolex and maybe a few others. It made them feel very good at the point of purchase. then when resell that time...

[Tay EG]

The so called expert expect mkt to correct 10 to 20%, how will Echelon price to drop? Who will sell? May as well don't exercise the option.

[Wild Falcon]

Even Rolex also sold at a loss - just how much loss.

Don't think d'Leedon can be considered luxury though with its poor fittings, normal size, 99LH, beside HDB flats and high density etc.

I think those that bought immediately after the first round of discounts must be peeved. This 15% second round discount is obviously way better for the 3-bedder.

No choice, need own people to support prices and give confidence as prices are set too high...

Anyone backup?

Skyville @ Dawson and SkyTerrace @ Dawson are iconic HDB developments in park-like environments. HDB will complete these two developments by 2015, with more to come in the following years.
Greenery will be brought to the doorsteps of residents through mid-level sky gardens and roof-top gardens. This is part of HDB’s landscape master plan to promote connectivity and environmental sustainability by linking housing areas via the Alexandra Canal Linear Park and a future Eco-Corridor.
Multi-generation living is facilitated to encourage extended family living and foster closer family ties. In addition, the rich heritage of Dawson will be accentuated through the preservation of older buildings such as the popular food centre along Commonwealth Avenue.

highest psf so far

$2,308 PSF IN JAN 2013 FOR A 452-SQFT UNIT

[bargain hunter]

maybe the buyer of this should have let the option lapse:

$2,014,659 1001 sq ft 2013psf Jan-13

surely, a 14xx sq ft 3 bedder at the same quantum and 12xxpsf is a better deal?

[Rosy]

Dleedon or interlace would be a better choice.

[bargain hunter]

yah, i meant for d'leedon but forgot to write it down. hahaha.

Dleedon or interlace would be a better choice.

[phantom_opera]

top echelon??

If this buyer is thinking of renting the unit out, how much will this unit fetch? Metropolitan 2 bedroom is going about 4 - 4.5k.

This unit (and also many other similar studios) monthly installment will be around 3k to 3.5k depending on interest rate. Add maintenance and property tax, will be 3.5 to 4k easily.

That means you can rent it out and let others (i.e. tenants) build your asset for you easily...
