    Dear Mr AMK,

    When you mentioned that the site is "next" to the mrt and shopping centre "Nex", I question the definition of your "next" in terms of absolute walking distance.

    When I use the word "next" , I expect a walking distance like the Yardley or Sunglade.

    "next" is pty agent speak.

    both centro and waterbank have a better location den this minton.

    I wud expect Minton pricing to be similar as treehouse...at most 5% more..

    If it is within 500m away from srgn MRT....den studio at 1.1kpsf is reasonable...if not...

    In this case, why do one need to imagine 800psf ? also, the concept of instant yield as compared to 4 years waiting time is a power play here IMHO
    Hi, the fact is that the enbloc price was not high. Each unit on average got around 500K+ which averages to 4xx to 500psf - BUT there were only 200 to 300 units there.

    However, they are not building 200-300 units, but more than 1000 on the same piece of land.

    Even at 800 psf the profit is already massive.

    just seen a video presentation from pptyguru website
    http://www.propertyguru.com.sg/listi...ale-the-minton

    i must admit the facilities r very impressive! for recent launches, double bay is considered very good in terms of facilities. however, minton cud be the best so far. nice.

    Hi, 350psf could be about right including those with big PES - thought of buying in 2006 when it was 260psf - a decent 3 room cost around 300K back then but it was too shoddy to live in. Wouldn't have made much from enbloc anyway.

    Agree facilities are good but with 1000+ families, you can be sure popular spots like the heated pool will always be chock full.

    I prefer smaller developments with decent sized swimming pool, playground, etc etc essentially standard facilities without frills. And no BBQ pits for me cos their patrons just make too much noise

    Many thanks.
    Looks like Minton is not that cramp afterall, relatively speaking.
    But I think the distance to Nex is about from Clover by the Park to the MRT. Anything more than 15 mins is far and probably no one want to walk.

    Is Minton MSCP or basement CP ? this makes a little diff in the feel of "area per unit" thingy.

    btw Livia has this one long stretch "jogging track" lookalike thing that's quite useless, even though the total area sounds bigger.

    Well, it depends if you are a jogger. It is just the diversity of facilities to cater to different needs.

    Based on your argument, the facilities in Minton is a waste of space.

    Can walk out to the bus stop along Upper Paya Lebar and hop on to a bus to the MRT ? No Sweat, mate !!

    If need to pay > $900psf ... might as well try Tangerine Grove or Evania, both freehold ? I think TG latest transaction < $850 psf ... But of course, both these freehold projects are small as compared to Minton ...

    it's not that. komo is trying to compare the "size per unit" for each project. I just want to highlight certain project's "total size" is not the same as the others. Imagine u have a plot of land 100k sqft. but out of the 100k, 20k sqft is a long narrow 4 meter width path that cannot be done for anything else other than a jogging track. like a "tail". effectively you are building on a 80k sqft land. Whereas another plot 100k sqft is more squarish, and you can build everything properly. for example the spacing of blocks could have been bigger.

    In other words, the natural plot size is not optimal. That would be true.

    The tail portion is used for the playground. The pro or Livia is that it has relatively huge and diverse facilities.

    If you look closely, the distance between the stacks are okay (larger than most suburban development). It is the units within the stacks that are closely packed.

    One cannot have everything I guess

    It also depends on the height of the building. The higher it goes, the more land space there is for facilities. And the less crowded the place will look like.

    Minton is cheap. $8XXpsf for a studio. Decently priced for the number of facilities, and dollar quantum is low. What I heard was that the studios launched (stack 44 and stack 45) were all sold out (except for one unit) for tonight's closed door launch for ex-Minton residents.

    This is one rare property launch where the studios are priced in the close psf proximity to the 2-bedders and 2+1 bedders. Which makes it for once, studios start to look attractive.

    More action tomorrow. Let's wait and see. Anyone going down tmrw? Thinking of dropping by to KPO.

    The pricing is really reasonable and the increase per floor is fair.
