I believer there is a market for rental of studios..
Like when I was overseas studying a long time back, I prefer to stay in studio but that concept was not popular in that era.. so i have to bunk in with landlords or roommates..

So, if given a choice, I don't mind paying a little bit more for a studio..but not A LOT More... Assume if I can get a room in a 3bedroom condo for $1000 dollar, I won't not want to pay more than double for the privacy. So maybe 50% is ok for me at $1500 for a studio.

So, I think studio got demand..but the rental needs to be competitive with respect to the surrounding larger units.

But then.. I think resale ...?hmm... potential buyer group shrink to only investors and maybe a little group of over 30s singles..though I think they rather buy a HDB with the money they use to buy a studio.

[francistaong]

OK. thanks... I also prefer something newer. Perhaps Bellerive or Cliften if Cyan is really out of reach. Will see how things go.

Hi Echotrain,
do email or call me if you are ready keen on Cyan, at least in your selection of unit. If prices not right during preview, can walk off.
Have email you the file just pending the floor plan.

well written


it reminds me of a trend in downtown manhattan

prior to the crisis ..hippie singles took up all the studios ... even today it is still very much the same ..

but the earlier 30 yr old's have moved out of manhattan to brooklyn, jersey, connecticut ...cos they have gotten married ..with family and so on ...

so a studio will almost always only good for rental ..

its not something many would buy to stay in .. also .. unless you can find someone who wants to enjoy a rental income ..otherwise hard to find buyers

There are winds indicating that price for 2 bedder of around 1000 sq ft is around $1800-2000psf . Any takers?

Any idea if FEO will release all floors or starting from lowest one? Any idea also on the quality of finishing?

[hoching]

FEO marketing ploy is to release restricted units and also the undesirable units during preview to boost up sales percentage for publicity and influence more buyers to bite. So as usual the low floors will be out first. With the new ruling, I am afraid Cyan agents may have to join Centro agents to hit mosquitoes and pass time. They will even have time to count the number of mozzies they kill.

No need winds i guess FEO will adjust their pricing soon...

There are still so many units avaliable from FEO in many other projects.

May want to wait for the next 6 months.

[hoching]

Don't pray pray with the richest man in Singapore. FEO is one tough egg to crack. They can hold LH project with the same prices for more than 10 years and still selling higher than resale units in same development. Look at Tanglin View and you know. They also have a pool of rich Indonesian businessmen support. In the worst case, they can always lease the empty units out. Don't forget they are one of the largest landlord in Singapore, second only to the government. So my guess is downward correction in price is probably not an option to them.

I'll see how the market reacts. But don't wait tilliss the boat like the previous round. Then again Cyan may be targetting the richer people who may be less affected by loss of IAS?

hi All,
floor plans are out. Will be able to meetup with you if you are keen to review.

If one takes cab home, need to tell uncle to go 'sian'? If you say 'sai-yern' he may not catch... 'what siren? i not police car you ask me to on siren for what' he may ask.

with so many condos with names thats not local ... and some even hard to pronouce .. taxi uncles will have a hard time ...

perhaps in future ,, apart from having to Pass a test on road names .. a list of condo names will be added to the test ...by which time , it truly is Sian for taxi drivers

[mcmlxxvi]

Actually a friend sort of reminded me that seldom do people tell taxi drivers their condo names unless it is well known condos eg. Makena (for the old skool uncles all of them know) and Balmoral Heights that kind.

I doubt if you say City Square today 80% of uncles will know where. Be careful if they don't confirm the location as they may just take you to JB Jalan Wong Ah Fook... City Square shopping centre.

[andy]

There are quite a few developments coming up with Lofts units, e.g., Miro, Trizon and now this up and coming Cyan.

Anyone wants to comment if these units will become more popular since from a pricing perspective you are paying twice for the volume of air for the lounge for instance?

The 2 & 3 BR layout looks pretty good. Can you confirm if the home shelter is no more and has been replaced by a utility room with windows?

Impressive. 86 out of 200+ units booked in such a short time. Sp the market has really moved, Balmoral to 1800 to 2000 PSF.

What do you think FEO will price this to achieve 50% take up rate? $1700psf onwards to $1900psf? I understand booking does not mean purchase yet, correct?

This is still Bukit Timah right? Balmoral going for more than $2000psf?

[bargain hunter]

booking is far from purchase. this is just allocating the units among the agents' clients. some might back out because price is not right.

Hi Andy,
True, bookings may not means purchase, however given the choices of Cyan having more 1 / 2 bedrooms which other developments do not have in BT, the psf indication for these smaller units are around $1900-$2000, SHOULD these units be price lower on preview date, these chqs will be converted to actual buyers as this will be lower than expected. Personally, i feel that current market sentiments belongs to those who dare to take the risk to book a unit and understanding what the future hold, of course i may be wrong but how many buyers out there actually regreted not buying earlier due to various reason like location no good or even projecting that prices will dropped or mad? Even hdb buyers are facing the same set of problems with raising COV and valuation regardless of new or resale.

No offense to all buyers out there but truely hope that all of you will get your dream home and if there are any special requirements you need, my team and myself will be happy to meet up and help.

Best Regards

Why do you think there should be a $300psf-$400psf premium for this FEO project versus Madison or Bellerive which are in the same area?

Hi Andy,
very simply answer, the landsize alone at 152000sqft allow you to have facilities which they cannot give.
1) The 2 towers alone have a space of at least 80m in between.
2) If we are paying a for a place with such psf, we should be able to
enjoy the space when we need it rather than staying in the unit.

I can explain more if you are keen. Believe have sent to you a file on Cyan earlier. The site plan alone should explain.

Hmm..

Madison has 56units for 50,000sqft or 900sqft/unit. Cyan has 272 units for 150,000sqft or 550sqft/unit.

Haha, Madison is a 3and 4 bedrooms project. If I to assume that 1 unit of madision regardless of 3 or 4 bedroom is equal to two 1 bedroom of Cyan, we are looking at
50000/112units = 446sqftft /unit.

They are giving 1 carpark lot per unit, Cyan is giving 2 lots for 3/4 bedrooms, of course we will argue that not all hve 2 cars but what are the chances of people buying in BT owning 2 cars? Shortages of carpark lot is btw one of the reasons buyers not buying.

Cannot use this to compare lah boss.
