Re: The Raintree (D21, 99 years leasehold, Frasers Centrepoint)
The train passes by at times of the day many wont be at home anyway. The sporadic sight and the sound of the choo choo train definitely is easier to bear than the noise and air pollution caused by thousands of cars and trucks passing by all day long the "up-market" central condos located at main road arteries of the city.
If that's yr argument, then why you need to buy RT? It's dark everywhere else in the night anyway! You need light to see the forest ok... and when you hv light, you hv choo choo train. Got it? Duh!
Love those units. Wish I own one of those.
Sure why not. You must love all the insects, beetles, bats, lemurs, mosquitoes flying into your apartment as well!
Peace, peace......
Railway, Forest or hill-facing units............each has its merits.
I am sure we have all considered the pro and cons before buying RT.
So far, i have only good things to say about RT in consideration of all factors.
Be happy........everything can be overcome.
If you are concerned with insects or bugs, like i do, u can also install magnetic insect screens once you are ready to move in. This is without compromising the view.
Check this out (Got the flyer from door-to-door salesman):
New Magicseal Singapore Pte Ltd
101 Kitchener Road, #03-08
Jalan Besar Plaza
Tel: 62969212 or 63960060
the southhaven apartments are so far away, if you take the pool units, it's going to be worse....at least the trains stop at 11pm plus every night, those who take the forest view would have the animal noise coming thru the forest the whole night!
Someone is selling their unit at Blk 99 for 1.08 million.
I guess the price of RT is racing ahead.
Hooray.
do you think the forest facing and side facing units would hear the trains? since the train track is // to the development, the above mentioned units would be able to hear the incoming sound of the trains too right?
shld be 3+1 unit.... i currently have 3rm unit, highest flr facing pool, agent said got keen buyer at $925k (works out to $710psf). prob wun let go cos i can't find anything similar around bt timah area with the proceeds
I was at railway mall for lunch and saw the train pass through. It was really quiet. I do not know what is the fuss about train noise. I would think MRT would be worst since they pass by every few minutes whereby the train only pass through a few times a day.
Just dont understand why you guys are discriminating against each other's choice of units. Every owner has their views and thus bought the unit of their choice, so please stop running down on others who bought units with different view.
Choo choo train could be interesting especially if you have kids at home. Nowadays, kids only know train means MRT, they don't get to see railway trains, see how they look like, hear how they sound like. And like what someone said, rustic feel.
Greenery view could be soothing to the eyes and the insects croaking could be music as well, giving you a nature feel.
So, please stop firing at each other like kids comparing their toys ya?
Totally agree. Train is an interesting of Singapore history.
Re: The Raintree (D21, 99 years leasehold, Frasers Centrepoint)
Right you are! What you say makes a lot of sense; highly appreciate your decent statement.
haha yeah... my partner loved the rail factor. said he could imagine our kids in future jumping up & down in excitement asking him to explain whats that passing through!
personally dont feel either way though, who knows how long the train would be around for
Facing rail is good, facing greens also good, facing pool also also good... everything is sooooo good about RT. Residents there are blessed!
saw ST today, the unit asking for $1.08 mio nett is a 3 BR 1271 sft unit facing reserve
Ah.... but there's no unit in the whole development having this 1271sqft though! Hmmmm.....
There are a lot of strange ad lately and I don't think it is meaningful to talk about asking price these days
GOOD NEWS! $700psf has been breached at RT. You will see the caveat lodged in the next months. Congrats!
This is crazy!
Prediction: some flippers are going to get burnt, ...just like some stupid buyers are allowing themselves to be burnt.
There will always be rare cases like this.
Just like the recent HDB flat that costs $720k.
On the whole, RT prices are still in the sensible range.
To these buyers, RT might be a priceless gem.
It is in a unique location in BT hill.
I don't think we will see the last of >$700psf being transacted. At this price, the more desirable units are still reasonable in today's market.
Totally agree. I don't own a unit here and don't intend to own one. Came across this project a while ago. I don't see a problem selling at above S$700 psf.
I know for a fact that one of my friends is in final nego with a seller of RT. Buyer is willing to close at $708psf but right now seller is asking $750psf. I think they will meet half way..... Will keep you guys informed of the outcome
FCL is launching a new 99yr development at Novena called Soleil@Sinaran for ave $1,300psf.
Bukit Timah is featured as the next property hot spot. That should spill over to Upper BT. This will certainly bode well for The RT.

kindly share which facing and at what floor is this unit located?I know for a fact that one of my friends is in final nego with a seller of RT. Buyer is willing to close at $708psf but right now seller is asking $750psf. I think they will meet half way..... Will keep you guys informed of the outcome
BT at $1000psf. Then Upper BT at $700psf is reasonable, i guess.
With RT so near BT, it must be very under-value at current pricing.
So the prices run up to TOP must be very interesting.
Also, not many developments are ready to TOP in early 2008, so supply is still limited.
