Primo Residences (D19, Jln Pelikat, Novelty Group, Freehold)

[Condorich]

5 storey at most. Primo lacks good sheltered parking n blocks r too close. If new project can address this then, n psf abt same as subsale, better to buy new project. I prefer bliss.

Okay, it's going to be a low rise. But if commercial below, should be restaurants or spa related biz etc. New launch higher priced for primo then good lor. If not.... a rare jewel.

Look at the existing shops, and you can roughly gauge the potential of future shops. It is not very accessible for drivers and there is a big Kovan mall and a small neighbourhood mall nearby to compete for customers. If early next year when it is launched (possibly in the midst of a technical recession), then I project it could be launched around $1300 psf (2-bedder).

People may not mind paying for a malls or mrt stn at the lower floors but not just a few small shops. Prices cannot priced too high.

I am hoping for it to be about the same or even cheaper than the price primo launched, which is about 1kpsf since by next year or so, recession should have already kicked in. I am planning to get at least a 2 bedder with psf not more than 1k for this project. SHould be reasonable in times of recession right?

[hyenergix]

Maybe, and hopefully we still have our jobs by then.

Updates on my Letter to URA:

I refer to your query on the allowable building height for the private site zoned "Residential cum Commercial" at Jalan Pelikat.

We have recently processed an application from the developer for the subject site for a 3-storey Commercial and Residential development with Attic and 3 levels of basement, which is in similar height to Primo Residences. Taking into consideration the surrounding low-density developments, we have supported the proposal. The details of the proposed development may still be subject to changes by the developer but any changes will be subject to URA's assessment and approval.

Thank you for your email and have a nice day.

Does it mean they will dig 3 levels of basement??? Will the building be stable as they dig so deep into the ground??

[DC33_2008]

So, it will not be taller than Primo. Basement construction is not difficult with existing technique.

So I guess this is the first low rise condo in SG with 3 level of basement? It is like half above ground and half below ground.. never come acrossed. URA is relaxing their guidelines I guess...

[DC33_2008]

Commercial portion below ground. No one wants to sleep below ground.

Should be abt same height as Primo. Basement 1 can be built at ground level.

Really happy for you i know you waited long time for this penthouse...

[Serendipity]

Salute to you Ocoloco for going the extra mile to check with URA!!
Its really a great relief for Primo Owners.

So the 400+ units information i got should be for both commercial and residential units else cant imagine squeezing 400+ units on 3 storeys unless this infor is wrong.

Still it is interesting to see how this developer squeeze so many units.
Not only residential are MM, i think the shops will then be MMs too.

Depending on his past record, a licensee who accumulates 12 or more demerit points during a 12-month period may have his licence suspended for a period of either two or four weeks, or revoked. All food handlers working in the implicated premises would also be required to attend and pass the Basic Food Hygiene Course again, before they are able to resume work as food handlers.

NEA takes a serious view of these offences and would like to remind food operators to observe good food and personal hygiene practices at all times, and to engage only registered food handlers. NEA will not hesitate to take firm action against anyone found to be in violation of the Environmental Public Health Act.

In the interest of maintaining a high standard of food hygiene at all eating establishments, we would also like to advise members of the public who come across poor hygiene practices in food establishments not to patronise such outlets but to call our 24-hour NEA Call Centre at 1800 - CALL NEA (1800 - 2255632) with details for our follow-up investigations.
