That Lorong Chuan condo is called The Scala

Remember that land parcel at Serangoon Ave 3, the one right next to Lorong Chuan MRT? Well some details for this District 19 development have finally come in - Hong Leong Holdings' new condo is called 'The Scala'.

Here are some of the details for all you house-hunters (note, it's still murky at this stage):

Tenure: 99-year leasehold
District: 19
Developer: Hong Leong Holdings
Site Area: ~149,378 sqft
Blocks: 5
Floors: 17
Units Mix:
1BR (~473 sqft)
2BR (~828 sqft)
2+1 (~893 sqft)
3BR (~1033 sqft)
3+1 (~1108 sqft)
4BR (~1270 sqft)

Price
The developers paid a good $529psf ppr for the land. Potentially the selling price could come close to $1,100psf, which would make it the most expensive condo in that area!

Location
The location seems pretty good too - MRT right next door, American and Australian international schools and a brand spanking new mall called Nex.

Our crystal ball foresees a very good response for 99-year leasehold condo. Would you pay that kind of money for a condo in Serangoon? Have your say.

From your search, there is a very strong European connection, thus maynot be an auspicious name

The condo is literally next to the track, so be prepared for some soccer or rugby balls to come crashing in.

From the map in the first post, cant help but notice that Chuan park is seating on a vast piece of land, if this one sells well at$1,100 psf, soon there might be more calls for Chuan Park to enbloc.

Sometimes developers never bother to find out the meaning of the condo name. It's like The Gale - which means a storm with strong winds. What an unauspicious name right? Imagine living in a stormy place.

Still prefer the good old names of parks and greens - Ardmore Park, Bayshore Park or something. Nowadays dun even know how to pronouce the "La" and the "Le" or The Arte or the L'Viv ir I'Liv or whatever Go watch The Noose, it was hilarious - La Chateau Quay become La Char Kwey Tiao

i remember long ago ... theres a condo there ...called Arang Court ...

is Scala the old Arang court ?

[kane]

those freehold around that area 5 year old already selling over 1000psf.

but i was looking at the size, 1270psf for a 4 bedroom. i think some rooms probably won't come with a built in wardrobe.

would have ba.. its quite standard item...
but i guess Scala would have rather smallish rooms... maybe can knock-down 1-2 rooms to a bigger one? Is that possible like the Dawson DBSS?

I wonder if the small site area will compromise common breathing space..

Guess its interesting to guess how the concept would be like

price indication 1100 psf for 2 bedders according to agent

price indication 1100 psf for 2 bedders according to agent

Hmm... quite a challenging figure at current cautious market sentiment...
But depends on the overall package.... who knows it becomes the "Vision" of NorthEast

[cashrich]

price indication 1100 psf for 2 bedders according to agent

size small but location pretty ok.

4 bedders are actually 3 bedder size... rooms are pretty small

But project is not as cluttered as others.

[bargain hunter]

i think their whole idea is to keep the absolute $ quantum "affordable" so shrink unit size for high psf = "STILL AFFORDABLE"

size small but location pretty ok.

4 bedders are actually 3 bedder size... rooms are pretty small

[azeoprop]

I like the layout of the 2 bedders, not the usual open main door see through to the balcony type. And the rectangular living/dining area has sliding glass doors on the longer side of the rectangle = more brightness, as compared to the usual ones on the shorter side of the rectangle.

Too bad price 1100psf...not affordable for me.

[scsc]

~70% of units below 1k sqft.
MM projects

I guess the targets are on singles, professionals...

Location is good except simple amenities
Buy if u like the enclave environment & the hop to mrt...

Size & affordability wise... KR looks like a better deal... Juz my opinion

[2824]

Drove past, showflat is ready. Agents still busy trying to direct traffice (oops i mean collect cheques).

Let me guess the cheque collection cut-off is thursday and preview on friday.

[bargain hunter]

its not. heard its on 28th. 3 weeks to go, super kiasu siah.

The road in front traffic quite bad during rush hours.
4 Bedrooms can squeeze into 1270 sqft? 3 bedrooms can squeeze into 1030-1055 sqft? Mmm, 1-2 of the rooms can only put just bed and nothing else?

[bargain hunter]

other than master, all other bedrooms can only put single bed regardless of no. of bedrooms. its a new but sad trend.

For owner, buy big ones then hack to proportion loh...

For rentals, should be ok ba... hobbits Shire... hehe

[bargain hunter]

then defeats the purpose liao. buy big ones at high psf then hack to turn it into a hdb sized 3 bedder. hehehe.

3 bedrooms can squeeze into 1030-1055 sqft?

wah lau i paiseh the place i bot even smaller 3rm 915sqft nia But one of the smallest I heard La Brisa 3rm at 603 sqft.

[bargain hunter]

your info is correct. also, the project u bot is considered Mickey Mouse so its alright to have 3rm at 915sq ft.

this project is by a reputable developer and probably wouldn't want its units to be called MM but the sizes and design they are putting through are really getting them there. your 915sq ft could perhaps even be more efficient than their 1000+sq ft since their's will have a bigger balcony.

Does your 3rm 915sqft got bay windows & big planters ?
If no, then provided if kitchen is small but usable & 1 common bath.... should be ok la... at least for a small family

Aiya... surely u bought for something u need or prefer...

Ya it has a bit of bay windows, not excessive. But also got planters which is so unnecessary and big a/c ledge, all of which eats up into every precious sq ft.

But ya I got it because it did fulfill most of my preferences lor.

in yrs time ..all these MM condos (whole blk MM unit) can be enbloc to build big units ...

the trend will change i am sure ..

as peoplpe get richer ..they want bigger unit

so can buy lah ...hold for 30 yrs .. (propertism) and wait for enbloc (aagain propertism )

jlrk will be very happy to see this
