The Estuary

[DC33_2008]

Do you mean double glazed sliding door at the balcony?

2nd unit installing glass panel on balcony! To block the noise....yeah!

[proud owner]

yup really a waste, could have been a stunning icon for Yishun and mark a start of modern transformation to the whole neighborhood. in any case, price now hit $1312 psf

yes totally agree


especially it being the first building you see as you exit CTE into Yishun ...

An update on the fibre installation. Successfully set up the router last Saturday. Took only 10mins. No problems with access. Anyone who needs to install, please go ahead and contact your ISP directly.

My termination point was installed without any problem and the tester says that the signal is excellent. My ISP will be coming to install the router this Sat. Will update on that again. Maybe it's due to the Singtel fire.

all depend on Opennet right? if opennet not ready, the ISP also can't do anything.. i believe it is block by block issue.. maybe some blocks are still not ready yet.

saw a rat, not a small one, running around at the children pool infront of blk 89 just a few weeks ago.
the place is so new, no food around ,how could rat be spotted? where it came from?

Any serious defects?

3rd unit with balcony smartwindows up now.... I am going to challenge mgmt to return my deposit.

[solsys]

I'm amazed by the poor reviews in propertyguru for estuary.

[laomai]

Management office threatening to take action. See link below. Don't like it when they claim to do it for the interest of the residents but they never actually consult us. I will support your case.

the bad feng shui is at work?

[DC33_2008]

The installation of glass to the balcony will become GFA. Authority will come after the development.

same here, driving by from the outside looks really nice though, esp at night.

it's true about the noise, but then you wonder how those people living along ECP, AYE, PIE and whatever E does it, must surely be noiser.

and noise is one thing, the dust and fumes actually affects the health esp of young children.

[laomai]

Actually URA allows for such installation as long as it complies with the following requirements. Nothing to do with GFA.

Balcony screens can be allowed provided that they comply with the following performance criteria:
a) The proposed balcony screens allow for natural ventilation within the balcony at all times;
and
b) The proposed balcony screen is capable of being drawn open or retracted fully.

The question is how "permanent". MCST is usually concerned about the general outlook of the place. I believe each owner would have received a handbook by the developer when they collect their keys. The list of do and don't should have reflected this. It goes all the way to the door grilles, etc.

Actually we never receive any handbook. Did you receive one?

If facade is the concern, they should have banned all blinds, all invisible grills and etc. Some even use plastic blind, wooden blinds, build additional rails, change the purpler color wall on the balcony, wooden deck the balcony ceiling, tiled the pillar with stones, extended bedrooms, just to name a few....lol

[p3nboy]

no handbook? this is really strange.

I can't believe ppl actually so IGNORANT.....

Condo is community living behind walls, not like HDB whatever big boo boo u do affects your development "reputation" in the end affects your estate prices.

Fight here fight there in the end losers are those whom brought the place.

[richwang]

What will happen if OCC is gone?

It is better to sort out during the first year where developer's mgmt team is still around. After 1st year, even harder to enforce anything.

Hi everyone.
Am staying at stack 24. Been staying there since Aug2013. So far so good.
Heard and read a lot about the noise level at those reservoir facing units.
Have you guys checked the sliding glass doors at the balcony?
Notice that the centre pieces can still move after locking. At certain position, the rubber seal is not seating onto the frame. The rubber seal they use is also too thin.
If these seals are working properly, believe the noise level can be brought down significantly. Try installing additional rubber seal, might be a cheap solution...

I don't stay at Estuary. But I am a regular jogger at the nearby stadium behind.
Even at that distance, I can already already hear the irritating road noise.
It is almost non stop especially the noise coming from lorries and motorbikes.
I really wonder how the people at Estuary can endure.

[laomai]

I tried installing additional seals. No difference. The seals are working properly and cut down the noise significantly. Just that still can hear the noise especially at night.

Yep, true.. After a couple of months, I have also gotten use to the noise. In fact on a few nights after late night partying, kenna banned by wife from bedroom end up sleeping on the balcony. No problem to sleep at all, except wake up with some dragonflies next to me

Exactly bro...it's so peaceful & quite during the late nite...maybe occasionally speeding motors here & there...but I believe the children can still take it!
Before we bought this condo, we already knew the traffic stituation here, why then now complain & complain....complain to LTA...NEA...MGT OFFICE...bra bra bra...si peh siah!
LEARN HOW TO LOVE & APPRECIATE THIS CONDO - THE ESTUARY!!! IF U CANNOT TAHAN THE NOISE...THEN SELL IT OFF!!!
