gee, if that's what the gahmen is doing, they sure know how to drive up prices for the developers. pity the next generation who has to pay for the sky high hdb prices next time, im sure the loan term will be extended to 50 years also.

what was the takeup rate like?
Newbie
well, I didn't actually count coz there was no signboard displayed outside, only agents holding on to pieces of information ...
I asked one agent about 2+1 (majority of these are on the outside, not facing the pool) ... most taken up, except for those not facing any water feature) ... even those facing the tennis court also gone. Then, he asked if interested in 3 bedders .. i said no & balek kampung after that ...
The developer has launched all units for this project already ..
Newbie
The two showflats appear ok .. layout looks spacious with big balconies so may appeal to those who are suckers for balconies
The pool should be 50m lap plus they 've decent-looking children pool ... overall showflat comparable if not betta than Livia tt's how I feel ..
But won't consider that location lah ... juz go there survey survey only.. looks like pretty good sentiments leh.
Senior
Just read from CLSA research, another 44 sold up till yesterday so total sold is 259 units sold.
Newbie
wah like tt not bad leh ..
Actually heard an agent saing tt The Gale prob has pulled some pp from other showflats .. guess it may not be exaggerated (if referring to O@E).
Senior
little is heard of O@E since its launch, maybe take up not so good?
Senior
Went to oasis today to take a look still quite a few 2 bedders not sold, mostly the HDB facing stacks. Prices are the same as it was during the preview, which is still the cheapest psf so far i've found in the east. However, the finishing is a grade below what u can find in waterfront key and Gale.
Newbie
What's the current price for a 3 bedroom at The Gale? anyone knows?
Newbie
i was quoted 1.05 mil for a 3+1 unit, pool facing on level 3 - 5. works out to be 729psf on average. you can use this as a gauge. the psf won't differ too much for 3 or 3+1 units.
Newbie
its 90% of 329units sold
Newbie
Hi all,
Anyone book a unit at THE GALE?
Newbie
Wow, 90% sold in only a month ?
Big is Wonderful.
To be precise, its 90% sold in 3 weeks!!! Wow... Developer also raised prices recently, in tandem with other launched projects. Think many are counting down to the day its "sold out".
Wonder what's the USP for The Gale and how it compares with other new condos in D17, D18 an D20? Obviously it must have appeal coz of good sales. Anyone can share?
Newbie
Well Done!
Senior
any idea how the other freeholds nearby are doing ?
what makes this a better deal than buying its neighbour ? beside the age of the condo ...
Newbie
maybe the facilities? got spa pool, hydrobath, foot reflex... and the developer giving out free fridge, washing machine and dryer.
i find the finishings of the interior is good but i dun really like the big balcony. i went there last sun, only got 50 units left.
the high psf of the gale has also jacked up the price of ferraria park and now sellers are asking for more than 700 psf, buyers are willing to pay more too.
Newbie
Well, overall layout looks not too bad although a buyer should 've scrutinized the units in detail .. & u'll see that the effect of staring at your neighbour's kitchen
Yup, maybe the freebies help but do note that it's a microwave oven only that is given (not the real conventional ones) ... throw in fridge & washer-cum-dryer ... and there u go ... almost sell-out liao ...
Big is Wonderful.
Yup, i visited showflat last weekend and was impressed by the unit layout and facilities at the gale. Has good looks (exterior) and quality finishings too. Agree that the gale had injected new lease of life into that area and prices had risen since.
Someone told me the gale has good feng shui and is living up to its name - strong wind whirling thru at great speeds & making people run (blown away by it or be left behind)...hehe
Wrt the big balconies, my wife likes it alot for the lifestyle and "real condo feel". Think in 5 years at TOP, the market would be at a higher psf level than today. FH, mah...Hence many investors bought for the upside potential too. At the rate its going, wonder if sub-sales will appear in the ST ads soon.
Newbie
Will being near to Changi Prison clusters has any effect on the potential of the Gale and the other A-F condo development in the area. The brochure deliberately hid Changi prison in the location map i observed. Changi prison is also FH there with the Gale and A-F condos. So Changi prison is sitting on a super large $700+psf land? Does one mind buying expensive FH condo and stay near prison? From the 90% sell out of Gale, it seems Sporean doesnt mind at all.
Junior
When the market is hot, property next to prison or cemetry also can sell. When the market is down and out, then you know why location is important.
Senior
ahahaha i would have missed that point
Looks like the prison also good fengshui , those go in vow not to return ..otherwise risk kana forced by inmate to eat shit , BJ and kana rear 'admiral'
Newbie
What u say is true, when sentiments is so good like now, launch a FH condo at Tuas Checkpoint will also sell out. Benefits is can travel to n fro Malaysia conveniently and 10 mins to Jurong Pt for amenities which is the same as the Gale and the A-F developments which is 10min drive to Tampines mall. Investment potential in Tuas condo is can sell to expats working in heavy industries and shipping industries there. IMO, having private residential estate in Tuas is better than Floral road near Changi Prison. If the Floral road is named Prison Road, will the Gale sell so well? Your immediate neighbours are prisoners and potential investors are prison wardens. From what i know, prison wardens got their lodging in a hostel(big units) with condo facilities near the changi prison for very low rates.
