yea agreed, even after completion some projects can take another few more months to get TOP approval.

Heard that TOP approval can take as long as half a year to obtain.

Depends quite a lot on the Architect. Double Bay Residences has exactly the same architect, interior design, Landscape consultant, C&S Engr, M&E Engr and QS as Minton. Not sure about the builder though. Might be worth to visit DBR when it TOP to get a feel of the ambience and build quality beforehand, although you can't do much if you have bought Minton already.

Architect : DP Architects Pte Ltd
Interior Designer : Index Design Pte Ltd
Landscape Consultant : Salad Dressing
C & S Engineer : TEP Consultants Pte Ltd
M & E Engineer : United Project Consultants Pte Ltd
Quantity Surveyor : Davis Langdon & Seah Singapore Pte Ltd

I find Minton and DBR similar in many ways.

Hope not. When I say similar, I meant certain facilities like 4 swimming pools, library, 6 shops, games rooms, table tennis rooms, band room, golf practice corner, cascading waterfalls (although the minton one much smaller) etc. The sun fins on the blocks also similar.

But, luckily minton got basement carpark with parking light indicators, though.

I am courious to know who owns the 6 shops in Minton. Does anyone one know?

Both mega projects, but DBR has the adv of proximity to MRT (5mins if go by backdoor)

Not cheap okay. They salad dressed One North to the tune of $75M. Oasis Garden costs $26M. Domain 21, $25M. Minton could well cost $100M to salad dress.

**dreambig2win** · 10-05-12, 01:24

so is it safe to assume?
best case TOP: 3Q 2013
worst case TOP: 2Q 2014

my current lease expires end of Q1 2014.
Hoping, I won't have to extend it

I think it is safe to assume that. Let's hope for a 2013 TOP!

The progress payment is a good indicator. Right now it is 40% at the reinforced concrete stage. I guess the brick walls completion stage and ceiling completion stage should be called anytime soon, maybe together. Anybody reached that stage yet?

**kane** · 10-05-12, 21:31

the sold out sticker looks more impressive and more eye catching. like thomson grand, they just put up the sold out sticker.

i think the day d leedon and sky habitat have that sticker, home prices must have gone crazy by then.
