i dont think farrer road/holland rental is fantastic to begin with. it's a pleasant leafy suburb to live in, but for rental yields, always better to invest nearer to commercial or industrial hubs to catch the migrant workforce.

What i am able to gather from agents and broader sources is d'Leedon is already getting a lot of rental interest from better heeled tenants and expats. It appears the project is drawing tenants away from surrounding and smaller developments. I will be observing this trend of mega-project closely.
Tenants will always be drawn to newer project with newer and updated facilities.
But tenant might reconsider once they see the irregular shape layout.
With almost 1700+ units, I think many landlords are going to take a drastic cut to secure tenants, so its going to be bad news for owners of older estate in around that area.
For tenant, it will be a good place to cherry pick for good deal.

Looking beautiful! Iconic development making a landmark in Bukit Timah / Farrer Rd areas.
I reckon there will be a lot of demand (sub-sale/ rental etc) from parents with schooling kids - the NYPS factor ... never underestimate that.
For NYPS, the 390 vacancies usually taken up by phase 1 to phase 2C..
For those kids under phase 1 to phase 2C, majority are staying nearby..
For approx. 270 kids not staying nearby most parent already prepared to use school bus, public transport or by car to the school..

So wondering what "NYPS factor" you are referring to with 1700 units project?

Depends on type of expats country d leedon is drawing - china, hong kong korea japan or US europe
Only asians prefer big development condo
The ard 100 plus units condo projects still have its attraction
Imagine ratio of number of residents to one gym equipment in d leedon
In 1715 units dleedon, it has....
1 multi purpose court
1 racing track
1 basketball ball court
1 sheltered bus drop off
1 sheltered walkway to MRT
1 jogging track
1 kid pool
1 spa pavilion
1 gym pool
2 entrances n exits
2 gym rooms
2 50m lap pool,
2 clubhouses
3 tennis courts
3 party houses with private wading pools
3 event courts
3 jacuzzis areas
4 BBQ
6 play areas
6 theme gardens
6 fitness areas
Which ratio r u talking abt?
Just Do It! 要拼才会赢!
And ur 100+ units do not have other facilities ......
Just Do It! 要拼才会赢!
Tenants what are the most common facilitiesthey use?
Pool
bbq pits
tennis courts
Can imagne the pool during weekends -like public swimming pool
No point debating lets the tenants move in and experience themselves
thenyou hear better feedback
State of art best facilities what use if you can hardly use them
Lmao
The project is too huge
Chinese and asian tenantslove high buildings
I stayed in hgh level condos before more than 20+ floors wait till lift breaks down or when u r in urgent need to use thetoilet
Are you an agent or you have units in d leedon
I m neutral I dun have
d'Leedon TOP party on 25 Oct
Indeed 1,700 households in the development, but with a land area of >800,000 sq ft makes it more spacious per unit basis than any other development sold.
Facilities unbeatable - .... with 80% for open spaces and facilities.
I actually find Leedon Residences next door more crowded... feel cos they have less floors... less open spaces.
Block 15. Agent send to me the pic, said it's released from developer.

THE PARTY!
The fireworks is impressive!
Must be a great party going on.
You seen it too ? Very impressive !
Before this, the light show in the past few days also very nice.
This is indeed a very special project.
I can see it from where I live. The lights last few days appear on the building - too far to see clearly. Is this a permanent feature?
was it crowded? will give you a sense of the crowdedness or otherwise of the common areas.
I didn't get a sense of overcrowding actually, because the place is simply massive. Most of the people were gathered at the area around the clubhouses especially from 7plus onwards when they were holding the lucky draw and just prior to the fireworks, and even then it didn't seem that crowded to me. Bear in mind this is a big event attracting a lot of the residents, so it is probably not a good gauge of the situation on a normal day.
But I have to agree with dleedoner, Capitaland really pulled out all the stops, I thought it was a great event and the fireworks and laser display was a lot more spectacular than I anticipated. The grounds and facilities look good, just about everything has some kind of illumination (even the bottom of the handrails on the walls of the carpark staircases). One downside I noticed is that the lifts look a bit small. I'll try and upload some photos in the next couple days if I've time.
The lift lobby n lifts look small bec the protective acrylic coverings are not removed yet.
Just Do It! 要拼才会赢!
I actually went in a few days before as my company was involved with the party. Couldn't make the actual party though. Yes capitaland was generous with the budgeting indeed.
Anyway, I like the carpark which unlike a lot of condos was very regular shaped. I thought the color choice of the swmming pool tiles was poor, looks like public pools of the past. They should use a darker colour.
Also seems to have a lot of unnecessary water features. These are not small, the size of small swimming pool but about 10 cm deep that doesn't serve much point. I see these in many new projects but dleedon ones are huge and there are many.
Other than that, the bits of the common area I saw seems nice enough. Quite a lot of upslope down slope though.
Oh saw some of the so called garden houses on the first and second floor from the outside. Bath tub with full length window on a second floor, don't know whose idea...
