    Hi bro Arcachon, how come you have stake in EC also?

    Or just set up Facebook account for hobby sake?

    MCL Land sells 247 units at Sol Acres

    Average price is S$780 psf; most popular units are three-bedders, followed by four-bedders

    By Kalpana Rashiwala

    [email protected]@KalpanaBT

    Aug 24, 2015


    MCL Land, a subsidiary of Hongkong Land, sold 247 units at its Sol Acres executive condominium in Choa Chu Kang Grove as at 5 pm on Sunday.

    Of these, 246 units were transacted on the first day of sales bookings on Saturday, by the time the developer closed its showflat at midnight.

    MCL Land has offered 707 of Sol Acres' 1,327 units under the first phase of the marketing launch. The average price of the 707 units released is S$780 per square foot (psf).

    The absolute number of units sold in the launch weekend makes Sol Acres the best-selling EC project so far this year.

    It beat the 185 units sold by City Developments in the launch weekend last month for The Brownstone, which is being built next to the upcoming Canberra MRT station. The 638-unit project is priced at S$810 psf on average.

    Koh Teck Chuan, chief executive of MCL Land, said: "I am quite happy with the sales for Sol Acres, considering the market as it is. Choa Chu Kang has pent-up demand for ECs and we have a huge site with a lot of amenities - including three clubhouses, three swimming pools and two tennis courts."

    The project is near two LRT stations that connect to two MRT stations - Choa Chu Kang station on the North-South Line and the upcoming Bukit Panjang station on the Downtown Line.

    R'ST Research director Ong Kah Seng described the initial weekend sales for Sol Acres as a "fairly good response" arising from the reasonable pricing of S$780 psf on average. "This is slightly lower than the $800 psf or more that EC developers have generally been sticking to."

    At 1,327 units, Sol Acres is the biggest EC development to come on the market to date. It will also be the first to have one-bedroom units, MCL said.

    Mr Koh said the most popular units have been three-bedders, followed by four-bedroom apartments, and two- and five-bedders.

    Only two units of one-bedroom apartments have been sold. He noted that potential buyers who came in on the first day were mostly nuclear families, and that the one-bedroom units were likely to appeal to singles and to young couples with no plans to have children in the near future.

    Absolute unit prices start at S$356,000 for a one-bedroom unit of 495 sq ft. Prices of two-bedders start at S$452,000 for a unit of 614 sq ft. Three-bedroom apartments are priced from S$667,000 for a 926 sq ft unit. Among four-bedroom apartments, the lowest price is S$866,000 for a 1,184 sq ft unit. A five-bedder costs at least S$1.028 million for a 1,378 sq ft.

    Three bedders account for the bulk - 330 - of the 707 units released in the first phase of sale; there are 185 two-bedders, 100 one bedders, 71 four-bedders and 21 five-bedders.

    The FB Administrators Group for HDB, EC, DBSS & Condo FB Communities - https://www.facebook.com/groups/125422547627971/
    Hi All,
    Facebook has become a very powerful platform for us to be connected. Many housing development projects are having their own Facebook groups, and are administered and managed by volunteers or residents of the housing development.
    This group aims to bring fellow administrators of different housing developments (i.e. Condos, ECs & HBD) together to achieve the following key objectives:
    1) Establish communication between administrators of different projects.
    2) Share ideas on administrating the project Facebook groups.
    3) Share tips and lessons on moving into housing developments.
    4) Share ideas of how to have better living in the housing development.
    5) Share group buy ideas.
    Vendors would be invited to communicate in the group. However this group should not be treated as a marketing platform. Promotions and group buy information should be uploaded as files, so administrators can distribute them to their respective Facebook groups.
    Let's help build closer communities and have a better living environment in Singapore.
    Cheers and Congrats on your housing development smile emoticon
    P.S. For those administrators who wish to join the group, kindly PM one of the administrators the name of your housing development. Thanks.

    Group not created by me.

    The 1+study layout looks more like 2 bedrooms. Not sure why marketed as 1+study instead of 2 bedrooms.

    Hi all have bought 3deroom @ $723k size 88sqm/947sqft. $760psqft which I opt for the DEfer payment scheme..

    Current residing which I like of my Bukit Panjang Bangkit Rd 4A (104sqm):
    Car drive straight connect to highway no need to wait traffic lightsssss..
    Car drive location very versatile. 15km to CBD1 City, 13km to CBD 2 Jurong, 20km to kakibukit (my work place)
    Coming DTL2 end of this year
    New Hawker Center BY NTUC Foodfare
    Quite and clean place.

    What I dislike:
    Not near fast food restaurant. Wan pizza ,KFC have to go BPP
    Old estate (30yrs Liao)



    What I like of my Sooooo Many Acres:
    Near wife work place as she will will be taking DTL to beauty world instead of me always need to fetch her...
    My drive access to work is also not to bad as it is border or CCK but still got to pass by Bukit Panjang
    1327 units means that is massive big facilities & crowd. Which we feel a condo should be feel with life & like living in Chalet
    MBS style Swimming Pool.
    Nice elevated height GYM Room.
    Underground carpark
    Good location with 2 main shopping mall BPP & Lot1, also near to Jurong CBD as Great Eastern Life will also be shifting their location.(mums workplace)
    Although size is 88sqm, space layout is vvvvgood very proportional distributed and therefore we still like the size.
    Developer gives washing machine and good branding Fridge Fischer Pakel.
    Floor Tiles for kitchen very nice

    What I dislike:
    Not the right time supply over demand. Our purchase price now may in future deflect.
    Resale levy of 4room flat 40k... Very siong...(
    Toilet space a little too big. Should have make smaller and increase in common bedroom size.
    Toilet bowl very cheapo looking. Toilet wall tiles design not grand looking as compared to the VALVES EC which so far to me is the nicest.
    Kitchen solid surface top very thin. Developer Should have give stone top.
    Wall tiles for kitchen color not nice
    The house theme can't choose developer only gives 1 theme unlike Brownstone from CDL gives owner 2 themes options to choose.
    Floor tiles very BTO like design. I'm a marble stone lover

    it's actually not underground car park. either below the blocks or multi storey. not good if rain... safety is also a concern for me as there will be vehicles moving around the perimeter of the compound.

    3rd shopping mall should be up by the time we move in.. Hillion... next to BPP

    From my understanding, toilets are bigger now as they plan for wheelchair accessibility

    internal surface not a very big concern to me. after a few years can always tear out everything and re-do. if it is a big concern to you, i would suggest you get your lawyer to write in to developer and tell them not to install the tiles, kitchen top, toilet bowls and other stuff that you don't like. get your own ID or contractor to do up the way you want it. in this way, you don't need to spend money to tear out what you don't like.
    no matter what choices developers gives you, there will be people who likes them and there will be people who don't like them.

    when i buy the place, i look more at the location as my daughter is going to a sch near there in future. the internal stuff can always change but location and layout can never be changed.

    i don't think any developer for mass market condo and EC gives stone tiles and counter tops. the cost is too high.

    if you want, you can take a look at Signature@Yishun. The finishing is one of the best I've seen.

    Just to confirm will I be able to request developer not to install tiles????
    If really could than that would be great. Pls elaborate further on this process. Tks...

    Have seen the signature design and layout not bad. Tiles selection also not bad. Just hat the facilities seems to be very closed and cramp.. Should be quite castrophobic. Unlike criterion the site plan is quite good. Just that too many alternative.
