The Minton (D19, 99 years leasehold, Kheng Leong)

[ysyap]

Merry Christmas everyone.

At this speed, anyone reckon TOP could be end 2012 or early 2013?

Don't raise too much hope to avoid unnecessary disappointment later so Q2 of 2013 is a better estimate!

Oh not really. I felt unusually giddy at the last photo but I was not drunk. Based on my novice knowledge about photography, I recall that these slanting and color shift usually occur at the edge of a photo and not in the middle.

One thing is azeo's site photos seem to be the engineering-type. I'm not sure what he is looking at. I thought he might want to have a theme with a focus, play with light or soften some parts of the background to bring out his feelings of the view. He will probably do well with civil engineering since he has a sense of accomplishment when a building is on the way up.

He's probably just do overall bird's eye shots. If he wanted theme or moods, he should go down to the construction site to do some closer ups or some zooms with a few workers working in the foreground.

I think Azeoprop's photos are well taken. Give us an overall view of the development progress. Those who have a vested interest in Minton will definitely know where to look out for in each photo. Haha don't think
we are that interested in seeing how tired the workers are or the unfinished buildings in an artistic light. In this context, engineering-type photos do serve its purpose. Keep the photos coming, Azeoprop! And thanks for sharing them with us.

Merry Christmas and Happy 2012!

Yes, thanks for all the photo shots.

Btw, anyone knows if the perimeter will be brick walls or cheepo metal fence? Contract not specific. Seems like UOL aka Kheng Leong uses cheepo metal fencing like Oasis Garden and Meadows@Pierce.

One can only hope they won't do it the cheap way. It will ruin the 3 world's theme.

Just ring up Kheng Leong and their office staff should be able to advise you on this. Otherwise get your lawyer to write in to them to inquire. So long as its not actual dimensions of your floorplan or stuff they are unsure of, they should be able to answer your question on the phone!

[kane]

Hahahaha... You should be their resident photographer and all. Any further and you'll be shooting silhouette shots of the workers with the setting sun in the background.

[ysyap]

Hey Azeoprop, you have a secret chopper to allow you take take pix for so many projects in D19 and D13? You super leh... and you actually bother to take the time and effort to take these photos to share with everybody at your own expenses! Very noble... thx dude!

Or you have bought everyone of these properties you are taking photos on?

[kane]

Looking again at the photos, the small block is coming up very quickly.

Through lorong Lew Lian.

[azeoprop]

Walk by using Jln Chermat to lor liew lian hdb to exit D of the mrt, around 850m or 10-15mins.

[mc_007]

hmm.. but no side gate facing the landed hse
, so mus walk all the way to opp end for the side gate (bus stop) den walk back? like tat will be far liao..

Can we propose to have 1 more side gate...lol..

[kane]

The way to lor lew lian is through the circular hdb block anyway.

Yup... provides shelther from the sorching sun or the pouring rain too.

I supposed there will be. That would be the side gate to use if we need to cut through the landed houses to get to Kovan MRT. It is equidistant from Minton to Serangoon MRT.

[kane]

There wasn't a side gate in the drawings right?

[mc_007]

i think there isn't cos i specifically check with the agent before.. only 1 side gate that is near the badminton court, facing the bus stop.
