Why would Sengkang be having high rental yield? If Sengkang is high, then Lavendar is explosively high? CBD is insanely bursting high? HDB is moderately high? Just my thoughts because it is so misleading. I thought CEA ruling states agents can no longer say things like high rental yield? Must have proven figures?
Just my thoughts because unsuspecting buyers will really think can achieve high rental yield like CBD.

Actually the bashing is on the ad, not the project.. If the project launches at decent prices, then it will definitely not be bashed..

Btw there is also another plot of land just between the "Project Site" and MRT rail as seen in the ad, available under gov sale now. It is a little closer to Compasspoint.

1000psf for 1,2 bedders sure sell out on vvip preview.
1000psf for 3,4 bedders will sell out easily as H2O's price range is 920-1100psf..
Reasonable price for small units is around 1200psf, bigger units around 1050psf..

Reasonable price for small units is around 1200psf, bigger units around 1050psf..Hope against hope, this project should launch at an average of $940 psf. Remember Compass Ht? It has been sitting on a gold mine that cannot appreciate the way other projects across the island have over the years. If its ghost month launch, laggi worse... then cannot have too high psf. Otherwise wait till after the month to launch! ;)

H2O's land bid 360psf but CDL sell at 950-1k psf avg..
Now Keppel land bid 503psf, Keppel will sell at 940psf avg? I think hard.. Unless Keppel really so friendly to buyers..
Anyway they not going to launch during ghost month, now they trying to generate interest only.. Somemore Quartz already 900-950psf.. Why will this keppel one with a compasspoint and a sports hub and a general hospital be same value?

Those below 900psf are the lower floor of the lousiest stacks when they launch.. Those normal average stacks mid size units all hover around 950psf while those smaller sizes one .ore than 1k psf.. U can check it out at ura.. No way keppel will launch at such a low price of 940psf avg.. If they do so, the h2o and quartz owners will curse and swear.. anyway when I say average I din consider the ph and ground units.. Not meaningful to count them in..

If buy for investments, will it be better to get Compass Heights? Direct access to Compass Point...shiok. Do you think it's hidden potential now realised?

Not many people like compass heights because it is just above the bus interchange, not really exclusive like a normal condo. Some say more like staying in shophouses.

But cannot compare that time with now.. That time buyers queue to get 1 bedder..
Even at ulu locations...NV residences...:doh:
do you see anyone queuing for 1 bedder now?
Time has changed.....even developers are pricing new launches accordingly..for e.g. seastrand ..eu-habitat..

:beats-me-man:
I have visited CH before and while it is indeed well located (an escalator takes you straight into the mall) the pool and facilities are ripe for abuse - by virtue of the same proximity factor (strangers can find ways to slip past the guard)
When I was there on a weekday pool was already pretty crowded.
Saw a PH, and guess what - none of them have any views...only views of HDBs :beats-me-man:

H2O was launched barely 3-4 mths ago..
Anyway eu habitat and seastrand are not MRT-sites.. So their prices are expected.. i don't think those prices are considered low anyway..
The fact is Keppel got the land at 503psf.. And this is an MRT-site.. As long as they don't go crazy like manhatten pricing, they should be fine..

Is the swimming pool big in Compass Heights? How strangers managed to slipped in? Thought I saw security guard right outside the glass door guarding the exit/entrance.

Saw a PH, and guess what - none of them have any views...only views of HDBs :beats-me-man:This new launch caters to primarily HDB upgraders. We cannot expect everyone of them have deep pockets therefore the launch prices cannot be too far from CH. While some people don't like the noisy environment from CH therefore would prefer this new launch, there are those who also like the proximity to amenities and MRT which CH provides therefore both projects will be competing for buyers.
CH is old (> 10 years old) while the new launch needs another 3 to 4 years before TOP so really, each offers different strengths and weaknesses. Hmmm.... Quartz is somewhere inbetween? ... LOL! :o

not big...not that hard to get past security guard. If you are an owner or tenant you can just bring your friends in or even pass them the extra access cards...they can just play at the pool and wash up there and go back home.
Better than paying a dollar to the public, somemore need to drive :D

This is true for all condos.. If you are an owner, you can bring anybody in.. And if the owner pass the access card to friends, then of course the friends can go in too.. Not the fault of the security..
thanks thomas.. my apologies.. will amend it..

Hard to control outsiders coming into a private condo. My condo even have outsiders coming in to learn swimming at the pool. Guess the swimming instructor might be a resident here.

Seng kang flats r more than 10years old. Time to upgrade next to MRT. Good NS orientation. 2015 TOP (long after slow economic growth next year) plus super low interest rate. Many will grab.
This is probably one of the better sites to be launched so far this year although its not the best. Sure got initial fuss and take up would be swift initially but like most other projects in recent times, it will slow down after some weeks. Plus the uncertainties in the world economy, it may not achieve 100% sold status very quickly.

That's only a little smaller than a new 5-room HDB. I think this devt is targetted to upgraders. Location and layout are above average though. Should be some takers.
I personally think that Sengkang is a pleasant place to live. It doesn't feel as congested as Hougang/Serangoon and there are reasonable (and not so crowded amenities around). There are also a few good schools there.

Wait till all the BTO are completed in say 3 -4 years time, sengkang going to be more congested than Hougang and serangoon and facilites at present will be stretched :scared-1:
So will you want to move there? :spliff:
Nope. It's too far up North for me. As you know, I am a happy resident of D20 (Upp Thomson) which is central enough for my work and leisure. Don't want a long journey to drive down to my golf game on Sunday mornings. Need a bit more beauty sleep. :sleep:

It will be too congested in 3-4 years! SK will never look the same again! :scared-4:
Layout pretty ok but 4 bedders at 1100 sqf?..Its a typo error lah.. they merely used the same configuration from 2+study. It should be bigger than the 3 bedders. Don't worry! :o

They will have to build more facilities. I see they are building new school already. Nan Chiau Primary is one of the most heavily oversubscribed schools for the most recent P1 registration.

Agreed! Can do with more good schools! :D
Yep after all Govt is trying to stem the declining birth rate.
Nan Chiau High School had been given SAP school status recently too. From the P1 registration stats, the Hokkien Huay Kuan schools (Nan Chiau/Tao Nan/Ai Tong/Hong Wen) are in great demand and rank up high for the balloting ratios. hehe it helps to be in that ethnic group as you would qualify for Phase 2B without having to do parent volunteer (if you join the Huay Kuan).
Waiting for anchor green primary to rise up the tiers! :D So has the HDB flats near Nan Chiau Pri and High appreciated recently? :o
So when will this project be launched? After 7th month? The website put Aug 2011!

Actually travel time to city vs Minton is about the same.
The Luxurie = Sengkang to Clarke Quay = 23mins MRT + 3 mins walk + 4mins wait = 30mins

Seng Kang will still be Seng Kang. BTO flats for first timer, maybe. But for upgrade, to move from Serangoon to Seng Kang Condo is a downgrade to me.

Why is it that Condo these days getting smaller? 3 bedroom only 1055sqft? Looks like the selling price will be between 1000psf to 1100psf only. Quantum very affordable. Saw the site plan and it looks congested with 10 blocks erected on 190,000sqft of land. Why not just have 2 blocks and then 36 storey high like those projects in Bishan?

Buy resale or subsale in good location.
New become old after sometime too...a new coat of paint does it.
Left some land around the MRT to boost its future price. If I intend to upgrade but still stay in Seng Kang and commute by MRT, then this will be the one. Developer should give more discount during VVIP launch to bring down the price slightly.

agts only quote prices after NETT discount lah
agts only quote prices after NETT discount lahAgreed that agents usually quote discounted prices to attract potential buyers. If its after discount, then the 1 bedder going at $1330 psf may well be asking $1500 psf before discount. Wow! A little too high for sk, isn't it?
Can be made a pond later.... Beware of chlorine smell at door step whole year round.

I will think actual price may not be released yet. As for the 1 bedder suite that I had just bought (EUHABITAT) agent initial pricing was actually before early bird and loyalty discount. So was higher than my buying price.

Actual price not firmed yet as it is probably awaiting finalisation from the number of cheques collected and indication of interest that agents are busy doing now.:rolleyes: But agents will have some sort of indicative pricing anot how can pple indicate interest if have no idea on price. Abit like chicken and the egg which actually comes first :beats-me-man:

Seng Kang will still be Seng Kang. BTO flats for first timer, maybe. But for upgrade, to move from Serangoon to Seng Kang Condo is a downgrade to me.
It's about practicality. No doubt a condo beside serangoon mrt station will definitely thrash luxuries. But minton's location in serangoon is honestly not very ideal.. aeroprop also say liao public transport takes the same time, but minton needs to walk much longer.. And amenities within such a short walking distance is always welcomed, esp for self stay upgraders..

Not really correct to compare Minton with Luxurie although both in D19. But they are really quite far apart and D19 is quite big Luxurie with Boathouse or H2O maybe or Minton with Kovan Residences probably more relevant. Luxurie more for people already living in SengKang or Punggol.
Anyway azeoprop did not compare the travel costs although they may be insignificant. For most who drive, Minton is a better location cause faster to get to town via Upp Serangoon road or CTE, KPE..
Not trying to thrash this project, but I find the roads in SengKang full of traffic lights and junctions. It's a nightmare traveling through these uncoordinated traffic lights. Not sure if anyone has this experience.

for those who drive, i think it's around the same.. KPE is equally accessible to both if you are familiar with the roads there.. i use KPE very often, so i not smoking.. Upper serangoon road is a nightmare road for all drivers.. the access to CTE is around equal too to be honest.. for luxuries, it's buangkok drive down to amk ave 5 exit.. one advantage is luxuries have TPE/SLE exit very near to it..

Agree for now. But when SengKang and Punggol fully developed, then :scared-1: Thats why all the ERP gantries already installed. LTA can project future demands. Minton to KPE oso quite convenient, via Lor Ah Soo, Hougang Ave 3 or Upp Paya Lebar Rd.. I use Upp Serangoon Road to city in the morning before 7.30am. Quite smooth all the way to Bugis Junction. ERP only 50cts if after 7.30am. Much better than using CTE.

Not sure if anyone has this experience.I do have this horrible experience of stopping every 200 m or so at traffic junctions. Then again I was also very happy when I was driving at Seng Kang during peak hours when all of PIE and CTE are jammed but here I was enjoying a jam-less leisure ride home! :p Its always a trade off!

It is even more expensive than the cost of petrol driving that distance! :doh:
So has this project been launched? Already saw adverts in propertyguru. Think those prices are fictitious or merely estimated? :confused:

It's on a boat, left side right side must have water. Port side and starboard side..
Must clear water out sometimes..if not the boat will sink.

Hmmm... next time have 10 different ponds, I mean pools scattered across the development so every stack will have pool view so up the psf for all units! :D

Yes there is a commercial site putting up for tender this Nov, it's in HDB website. Good news to H2o residences buyers! Also Greenwich village coming up soon. There is another plot of land in Fernvale for EC too.

Based on preliminary estimates by an agent in the earlier posts.
1bedroom approximately 600K @ 452 sq ft
2bedroom approximately 850K @ 775 sq ft
2bedroom+study approximately 950K @ 883 sq ft
3bedroom approximately 1.1mil @ 1055 sq ft
He can't remember prices for 4 bedders and penthouses!
I think if they can price the 3 bedder around 950k (after discount- if any) then it will be quite ideal. Taking into consideration the close vicinity to compass point. Else it may not be worth to look at if prices around 1.1 mil. IMHO.

950k for 3 bedder means 900psf.. Like that they don't make much if any money at all.. Charity?
Those worst facing+lowest floor maybe possible at 9xx psf close to 1kpsf..

construction cost unknown yet.. but they giving marble flooring for living room.. and there are 2 pools.. shouldn't be cheap.. coupled with rising construction costs.. maybe 350psf? still need to add agents commission, marketing, building of showroom, finance loan cost, admin.. 900psf avg they will become charity liao..

For buyers..... Heck care land bid, look at selling price lah.
If I can buy condo at 750 psf, one land bid is 500 psf and the other 250 psf, I dun really care. Land bOught at different times is possible.
H20 avg 920 versus miltonia 880.... Not to far apart actually. Finishing should close the gap.
Should be about the same as one is up to 5 stories and the other higher... If use 5 stories to 5 stories and a mix of small units...maybe miltonia is dearer than h20...

Not referring to buyer for these two only lah. Buyer for any project...
750 to 800 psf development should sell very well
800 to 900 psf development should sell well
900 psf to 1000 psf might sell well
1000 psf to 1100 psf try to sell well
1100 to 1200 psf, hard to sell well
Above it harder lah...
It's the entry price?... Buy near new lows wil be alright, Like Canberra residences

Banks usually hire and fire, no big deal. I heard banks are still hiring here though. However my contacts in electronic industry said that their manufacturing outputs are really down. The construction industry is going up. The rest of the industries are okay.

Just wondering how much extra do you have to pay monthly to maintain your personal swimming pool? :beats-me-man:
Was at the showflat today.
The place was packed with many people either viewing or buying. The average psf is around 1050.
1 bedder units around 600k, 2 bedder 800k and 3 bedder one mil.
Heard from agent, launched 180 units already sold above 100 units. Total units for this project around 600+ on 190K land.
Those looking for something special can look at level one units, have your own personal swimming pool!

U think worth to invest?Was looking at the price list, about only 600+psf!
Definitely a nice unit if for stay, with your own private pool!
Considering the fact that other units are paying around 1050psf, room for capitial appreciation? Not too sure if there's demand for rental in that area though, but plus side is the MRT! :)

Went down to the Luxurie Showflat. The prices on offer extremely attractive especially for "STARBUY" units being promoted by Keppel...priced below 1000psf (approximately 965psf) for a 3 bedder and quantum less than 1Mil. Ground floor units with swimming pool also priced at incredible rates. Anyway, I am not a fan of groundfloor units....lots of interesting items (if you know what I mean) may end up getting thrown into your PES and swimming pool by "friendly" neighbours staying directly above.
Some says property buying is all about location. This project is just a stone's throw away to Sengkang MRT and Compass Point. If buy for investment, I would think Compass Heights is a better choice given that it is directly above the shopping mall and MRT. This Keppel site would be better for own stay. General feel/impression of this site is good as it is so near to many amenities and quantum of 3 bedrooms unit affordable.
My personal views and thoughts on the good and bad for this project:
Pros:
(1) 622 carparks lots for the 622 units as per agent. Decent allocation for project near MRT. Developers known to actually cut down on carpark lots for sites near MRT due to some special ruling.
(2) Given 2 choices of finishing-warm or light. 2 choices of flooring..either Natural marble or Agglomerated marble. Agent said the latter easier to maintain. My view is both also subject to stains due to porosity of marble but marble finishing does look more classy. Just that may not be practical for families with kids. The kitchen cabinets given are the clash proof type. Also given sliding wardrobes for all bedrooms. Note: Bedroom flooring are laminated.
(3) Washing machine, dryer and refrigerators thrown in.
(4) Excellent location near to MRT and other amenities.
(5) Quantum actually affordable even if priced at 1050psf average.
Cons:
(i) The size of the apartments are very disappointing. 900-1055sqft for a 3 bedroom. Very tiny kitchen. Small size bedrooms big enough only for a single bed. Master bedroom super small also. Living and dinning area decent size. I would think that for own stay, one should be looking at the 4 bedrooms which is only 1300sqft plus. Can turn one bedroom into walk in-wardrobe or study room then.
(ii) The facilities and landscaping failed to impress. 10 blocks of apartments taking up too much space on 190,000 sqft of land. Throw in the family members/tenants for 622 units and everything becomes crowded. Terrasse, H20 Residences and Boathouse Residences offer better value in this aspect.
Summarising, Keppel has created the classic problem of a good mass market project site that is near to amenities and MRT at affordable price quantum but with less than impressive landscaping and miserable living spaces....this confirms that Singapore is going very much Hong Kong style.

The size looks decent. Small bedrooms are okay as children nowadays have busy school or life of their own outside and seldom stay at home most of the time. Large units are hard to maintain, especially good maid are hard to come by these days and you are prepared to sacrifice your weekend doing housechores. I will pick this over Terrasse, H2O Residences and Boathouse Residences any time. But I'm not into 99LH (yet).

5 years ago, the standard size for a 3 bedder is 1200-1300 sqf. Now it is now to 1000 sqf. that explains the claustrophobic feel in today's new condos.

I think size does matter especially for upgraders. Imagine moving from a 1,500 sqft exec apt to a 900 sqft condo. It really takes a lot of getting used to. If the show flats already feel small, the actual units will be worse. Showflats have all the ID to give the illusion of space.

Wait till they get their keys. The situation may not be that apparent now, but come 2014/2015, when most of these units TOP, buyers may be in for a surprise to find that the actual units are much smaller than what they had expected, imagined or seen at the show flats.
Maybe their kids are getting married and moving out. Hence they don't need a big house anymore?

i thought this was the case when these 7xx sq ft 2 bedders started appearing as early as 2009 (hundred trees?) but sales since then still took market by storm so i m not so sure anymore. i think many really don't mind hahaha. guess they will still be in a state of initial shock if they had bought blindly.

Ya, the rooms are pretty small but still decent I guess.
This goes for most new launches to make the units more affordable... :)
But the level one units with either private swimming pool or jacuzzi are nice! :p

I was at the showrm on Sat. Looking at crowd, only 100+ units sold?
Agreed that the bedrms r tiny. Overheard a lady commented that the study rm is so small.. And her agent replied "this is bedrm, not study rm"
But to be fair, the bedrm is still functional - can fit in a single bed.
Those new launches make my 1100 sq ft 4-room HDB look very spacious indeed. Especially when my unit doesn't have any balconies or air-con ledges or planters.

I wouldn't be able to squeeze my family (3 kids) and maid into 1000 sq ft unless the kids have grown up and left home. It appears that families will be shrinking in size in the future.

Yah 1000sqft is still ok if there are no planters, bay windows, bomb shelters and balcony. This luxurie 1000sqft comes with ultra huge balcony, thats why bedroom so small. An example of a good layout with 1000sqft is the 3 bedroom compact of boathouse residence.

Yes, agree. In my present condo, my two teenage boys still can share a room. Third bedroom we use it for study. New condo nowaday can never squeeze in two beds. I had seen FEO recent projects bed room are quite decent in size. I saw the two bedder at EUHABITAT where the bedroom are good for two beds. But I bought the 1 bedder instead as I have no intention to stay there. (for investment purpose) I am still looking for another 3 bedder in the district 19 but will probably go for a far east project as I have additional loyalty customer discount. Hee hee hee.......

so far, far east/fraser, chip eng seng, sim lian & hoi hup(do they still?), (maybe capitaland if they do launch something) have still launched 3 bedders with the other 2 bedrooms able to fit in 2 single or 1 queen bed each.
it seems the only reason why it is not done is developers may find the excuse that feedback indicates it is not what most pple want but in reality they just want to pack in more balcony AND a/c ledge for more profits.

Yes without the balconies/bay windows/planters, 1100 sq ft can accomodate 3 good size bedrooms (space for 2 beds plus wardrobes, living/dining area which can be separated by a partition, kitchen big enough put a small table and chairs as well as the bomb shelter used as a store room.
it seems the only reason ... they just want to pack in more balcony AND a/c ledge for more profits.
actually it's not more profits.... it's because this is the only way they can sell, because upgraders can only afford max 1m plus, despite all these years of economic growth... :( it's reaching a stage where the room size is just ridiculous.

Not sure if these discounts still hold today! :D
Tradeoff between this boathouse layout and the luxurie one, is bigger rooms but NO HS/Utility room/store at all.

On two separate occasions, STOMPer withwings has noticed a terrible stench of sewage in Sengkang, especially around Compass Point. He wonders what could have caused the horrid smell.
He's what the STOMPer observed:
"I stay in Block 261 Sengkang Eastway, just opposite Compass Point.
"On the evening of Sep 20, a really foul odour (like a sewer or manure) could be detected around this area.
"The strongest smell was sensed around the Compass Point shopping mall.
"I hope the authorities can do something about this. The first incidence of this kind of odour was noticed last week ...."
All the PH in Luxurie sold. Of the 3 stacks of 4 bedders, 2 stacks are about sold out. 1 and 2 bedders also selling fast. Think the 3 bedders are still available. Unfortunately, the rooms are miserable. The 4 bedder showflat junior master is so small that developer removed the wardrobe and replaced with an elevated platform to make the room look big but its really small. All the rooms are laminate flooring! Hmmm... :tsk-tsk:

i think median psf is the closest representation of the rough gauge of pricing..They probably did not use median psf. They merely used a simple average. Median takes into account the number of units also. Think they merely looked at 5 tiers of pricing, from 1 bedder, 2 bedders, 3 bedders, 4 bedders and PH and take a psf for each tier and add them up then divide by 5. Median psf will consider how many units in each tier. If majority are 1 bedder, then median psf will be nearer to 1 bedder price. :cheers1:

Another thing to consider is next time Punggol's population will have grown to at least 3 times and during peak hours the only way for you to get into the train to the city might be for you to take up to Punggol mrt first then go down south.

100k less for one further station and a newer mall. it's fairly hard to justify spending that 100k more in all honesty.
and better surrounding, 3 mins walk to waterfront :ashamed1:
Yah, if you look at the new hdb bto, all the punggol bto are premium flats while all the sengkang ones are standard flats.
Punggol is being designed by hdb to be more attas than sengkang. Hence this Luxurie seems like a bit out of place.

nothing against ATT, but it is sitting next to hdb plot.
Feels very much like hdb.
i'm considered the pioneer batch in punggol. staying here for 10 yrs liao... and i have got no intention to move... I like punggol alot. maybe becos i drive bah... going to IKEA/Giant is just 10 mins drive, Geylang (via KPE) is 15mins, outshore fishing (Punggol Marina) is 5 mins, Tampines for midnight show is 15mins. Not too bad lah... :spliff:
with seletar aerospace hub ready in 2018, Sengkang and punggol will be booming.
Can't wait to see more Ang mo renting our places.

Seletar aerospace hub is just 5 mins drive from ATT via Punggol Way/Seletar North Link. Huat ahhh!
For a moment, I thought this is the ATT thread... LOL! :rolleyes:
Don't run the risk of overestimating the influence of the aerospace hub.

Aerospace guys paid well? I know petrochem guys are paid well. How much did you pay for Greenwich?
i did not buy Greenwich. I'm saying Greenwich V which is the retail is just 200m from my block

I see. Hdbs are cash cows regardless of where they are.

still have hospital coming, more pinoys to rent to

Which hospital is this? Those would target HDB flats.
Do not be surprise at the appeal of HDB flats. Whether pinoys or chinese or indians, when OCR rental is up up up, hdb would be their natural preferred choice. I'm seeing more (much much more) hdb flats rented to foreigners. Not only on MRT trains but in hdb estates too. They congregate at playgrounds to chit chat while their kids play. Its an amazing sight! Such is the consequence of our lovely govt's foreign worker policy. :p

Judging from excitement of non-investors in this forum, I think sentiment has peaked :scared-3: I think I might have under-estimated the correction magnitude for both HDB, rental market and private properties.

Looks like most Chinese buyers buy RCR/OCR only, D Leedon cannot sell leh or CAPL does not know how to sell to mainland Chinese? :confused:

The sale of 'leftover' Housing Board (HDB) flats - many in popular mature estates - has attracted an overwhelming response, with more than 14,000 potential home-buyers applying for them.
These 2,847 flats, called 'balance flats', are a mix of those left unselected from previous build-to-order (BTO) launches, surplus replacement flats under the Selective En Bloc Redevelopment Scheme, and those bought back by HDB.
And because so many people went for them, a parallel BTO exercise for new flats launched the same day has seen a muted response. Some BTO estates and flat types were even undersubscribed with just one day left to apply.
Applications for both exercises close on Wednesday
=> ha ha, die die must get mature estate HDB even though much more expensive, Punggol/Sengkang not hot at all ... our young ones are rich

Bcoz every bto exercise is flooded with punggol flats, so naturally ppl will try their luck for mature estate...cannot get den apply punggol bto later lor....hehe
Somemore the resale flats in mature estate worth much more compared to new flats pricing
Kbw shdnt launch balance flats tgt with other bto
Shows the hunger for flats in mature estate. But when it comes to private condo, seems like there's no difference of interest in the outskirts.

I'm buying a unit at luxurie and plan to rent out my flat at Sengkang.
Dont under estimate the foreigners these days, in10 years time they will be richer than locals.

Maybe because they drive? Correlation between owning private and being able to afford a car as well for most cases.
Doesn't explain for all cases but...

But they have btos that are near mrt in non mature estates right?
finally found some time to drop in to their showroom. they use marble flooring to woo their buyers. fairly efficient use of space like what someone here pointed out. if it wasn't for ATT, i think they would have sold quite a number more units. ironically, the best thing of luxurie is that ATT sells out asap. then people will have to slowly trickle across to bridge to sengkang and consider their options there.
the wild card is if the other site near punggol mrt gets a low bid. that'll be real ass luck for Keppel then.

The black marble outside the showflat and entrance floor looks familiar, the show flat is "luxurie" but not the actual units and site plan lol .. I quite like the HP Touch Pad though, nice
ATT showflat is less pretentious, SL standard

You even take notice of the flooring outside the showroom? I only start noticing the things when I step into the mock up.

Actually the overall design outside of the units are very nice, one of the best in recent OCR projects ... it feels very cosy and luxurious indeed. Agents can easily fall asleep in the dark luxurious relaxing theme :cool:
My Manhattan show flat even featured in magazine, designed by Su Misura, with a custom-made bicycle :doh:

Haven't been to Thomson Grand though ...
