View Full Version : The Tembusu Kovan
The Tembusu Kovan is an upcoming freehold project located in the Kovan vicinity. Situated on the old Wing Tai building along Tampines Road, it is just a short 5 mins walk away from Kovan MRT.
Designed by award-winning architect Arc Studio Architecture + Urbanism, the studio that designed Pinnacle @ Duxton, The Tembusu Kovan presents the new crown condo in the Kovan area. All units in The Tembusu Kovan are furnished with finest quality finishing to provide you the ultimate contemporary home that you deserve.
Most of the condo around Kovan are leasehold, which includes Kovan Residences, Kovan Regency and Kovan Melody, so when a new FREEHOLD project launches, don't miss out on it!

Don't think nowadays 7th month will stop people from buying.
If Jurong Gateway condo was launched in the 7th month, think it will still be sold out very fast!

The advert says 4 min walk to Kovan MRT. This works out to be 2.5m per second.

Highly unlikely bro.
The advert says 4 min walk to Kovan MRT. This works out to be 2.5m per second.
A tembusu tree walking will be able to make it.

Should be 4 min jog to Kovan MRT, just like Bartley Quinn, not including waiting time for traffic lights to cross road.

probably using Singapore-made Jaegers, from the local hit movie "Singapore River Rim"

If the 走 is in hokkien then make sense.

Thanks.. But it's strange the 4 bedder has a $1550psf pricing which is highest among all the units.

4 bedders are targeted at 1st timers or upgraders ( or maybe downgrade fr landed there) without absd. Others targeted at investors.
Think with the recent less than impressive of the Quinn, developer would probably rather buyers purchase more units rather than just 1 big unit :beats-me-man: :beats-me-man: :beats-me-man:

Just been to showflat for agent briefing this morning
Pricing pretty attractive based on what I have posted comparing to other new launch projects near MRT both 99 & FH and especially since this is a Condo status project
Architects designed Duxton@Pinnacle and landscaping team are those who designed Changi Airport. So a lot of effort was put into designing it like a 'Garden' so you will see a lot of greenery around the compound and going up the specially placed pillars surrounding the blocks of units so in such a way, its hard from outside to look into the unit but still easy for occupant in the units to look out
The showflat will have the 2br, 3br Dual Key and 4br show units. 2br is a bare setting so its like getting your unit upon TOP so easier to feel how big the space for the 2br will be. The 4br is pretty spacious for the Master and Junior Master bedroom so it should have no problem selling to Families and Im pretty impressed with it as well.
Penthouse wont have any indicative pricing if anyone is interested but hear say it will be 'premium' pricing giving only 3 penthouses and single level with not a lot of roof terraces spaces
Overall quite unique design compared to surrounding developments la... and don't feel so 'prison-like' after seeing the model... mcm want come this weekend look see not? :D
saw the floorplans.
and i like the 3 bdrm ones in particular. quite similar to 311 thomson.

Landscaping fees is gonna make the monthly maintenance fee cost a bomb!
If mcst wanna cut cost, it will turn into Avatar movie set. Why? Coz residents all turn blue in the face.
When is the TOP?
Din really tell us but should be around 2017
Maintenance fee also not sure yet... Expect $300++
Oh they will be selling in phases also.. Phase 1 released stacks will of course be cheaper..

I think if roxy comes up with Dual Key 2br at $1million, 1 br @ Tembusu sure hard fight for rental in future. 3br and bigger should be safe from roxy MM 'assault'
Hmmm Kovan Grandeur is asking for 2.5K rental for 1 bedder?
That means potential yield for Tembusu (750K for i bedder) is only about 4%?

Tembusu mm should be asking 3k in light of the facilities.
As for nearer mrt, its a moot point when one needs to spend 5mins or more to cross that busy junction.
no comments from anyone about Tembusu showflat ah....
anyway showflat is closed till 9th August.. 10th Aug (sat) then open.. in case anyone decides to pop by over the long weekend
Is this a open for all preview? I'm thinking... Can also say it is near to Ikea Courts and Giant. It's a straight/curvy road down if they drive.

I wouldn't dare to bet on 2.5k.
Rental is softening and I will estimate a more realistic rent at maybe 2k in 3 years time. And an interest rate of 2 to 2.5% by then. I will be surprised if there is any cash back after paying for the house.

True that. Do you foresee any further upside to projects around there such as this Tembusu and Parc Vera in the next 5 years?
Anyone went to view Tembusu show flat last weekend? Was really very crowded and heard that many (few hundreds) cheques were collected. Think the agents/developer are aiming for 1000 cheques before Preview. Hence think the developer is trying to emulate the J Gateway sales success story. All eyes are on Tembusu now...May be a sell out project in short time.
What are the selling points for Tembusu? Would you buy into this condo at $1500 psf?

D19 $1.5k psf cheques still flying around.. many rich ppl. I think generally not a bad place to live at... but quite ex at that price.
now still need invitation then can go right?
I think the developer is positioning this project as a non-mass market condo. Can see in the design concept, finishing and facilities of the condo. Its a FH @ kovan hence the pricing. Some agents are saying that this piece of land has good feng shui as how Wing Tai became so successful over 50 years...

Good location for own stay. Mins walk to kovan mrt which is 20 mins from cbd. Near amenities and good food. Short drive to kpe. Better value than jurong gateway, considering it is freehold. Frankly, how many malls do you need next to your house

K.G highest was transacted at $1612psf for a 366sqft in March. Quite a challenging place as its a LH and its side by side with a mosque.

Any more 3 bedders stack 18?
only left with Ground Floor and 17th Floor, both with PES.. stack 18 is the hottest stack for 3BR
Not even one sold below 1mil? So that agent that tallked to me at the show flat on sat lied. She asked me to submit cheque saying high chance to get one slightly below 1 mil cos indicative pricing just about 1 mil only.
quoted to start was $1.07mil.. wouldn't say she lied.. more of hoping for the best probably?
but we had been brief that $1.07mil is most likely the starting price for 2 bedroom already though..
The media should do more homework before commenting that the TDSR CM is taking effect on July sales...
If they hardworking go Tembusu showflat, they will know the effect is limited.

1 bedroom seems like a better buy.
1 bedroom is around 1650 psf whereas 3 bedrooms is around 1530 psf.
Usually in other projects, 1 bedroom is 400 to 500 psf higher than a 3 bedroom. Eg: Citylights 3 bedroom is around 1.3k psf but studio is 1.7k psf.

but we had been brief that $1.07mil is most likely the starting price for 2 bedroom already though..
Would you know what sort of finishings and appliances is Wing Tai providing for Tembusu? Thanks!
The new Yi mei garden site will be at least $1600psf next year. Fortune park also high chance of enbloc in future.

More than 200 units sold at Tembusu: sources
Strong showing may help bring back confidence to market post-TDSR
SALES at The Tembusu, Wing Tai's condo project in the Kovan area, are said to have crossed 200 units by yesterday evening. The average price for the 337-unit freehold condo is understood to be in the $1,400-1,500 psf range.
Sales started yesterday although the project's showflat first opened two weekends ago. Entry to the showflat to VVIPs and those who had pre-registered earlier was by balloting. Huttons is marketing The Tembusu. This is believed to be the first residential project to attract a good reception after the Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) framework took effect on June 29.
Analysts estimate developers probably sold less than 500 private homes last month.
Wing Tai could not confirm Tembusu's sales figures as it was still tallying sales, but its general manager for property, Len Siew Lian, said: "The response was encouraging; we believe it is due to the comfortable sizing of the freehold apartments in the established Kovan area. Most importantly, home buyers appreciate the quality design and finishes."
Growth story aside, nobody in right mind will compare Kovan with Jurong.

I beg to differ. precisely since the pricing is similar, buyers has the chance to evaluate which proj is more worthwhile.
but u r rite to conclude tat Im not in the rite mind.

From today's Business Times:-
SALES at The Tembusu, Wing Tai's condo project in the Kovan area, are said to have crossed 200 units by yesterday evening. The average price for the 337-unit freehold condo is understood to be in the $1,400-1,500 psf range.

Analysts estimate developers probably sold less than 500 private homes last month.
Wing Tai could not confirm Tembusu's sales figures as it was still tallying sales, but its general manager for property, Len Siew Lian, said: "The response was encouraging; we believe it is due to the comfortable sizing of the freehold apartments in the established Kovan area. Most importantly, home buyers appreciate the quality design and finishes."
Knight Frank's head of project marketing, Eugene Lim Ying Jie, said: "This shows there are still buyers out there in the market. This news will help to bring back confidence to the market."
CBRE executive director Joseph Tan also said the initial sales result shows there is still liquidity in the market and healthy demand for competitively priced projects in good locations. "The Tembusu is one of the few larger freehold condo projects in that area. The location is still within walking distance of Kovan MRT. And the showflat is located in a strategic spot opposite the MRT Station."
Mr Tan also described the pricing, which he believed to be $1,500 psf on average, as reasonable for a freehold project relatively close to the city - compared with J Gateway, a 99-year leasehold condo near Jurong East MRT Station that sold like hotcakes at $1,480 psf on average on June 28.
The Tembusu will rise on Wing Tai's former headquarters about 400 metres from Kovan MRT Station. Rising to 18 storeys, the project will have one to four-bedroom apartments, dual-key units and penthouses in five blocks. Unit sizes range from 474 sq ft to 3,886 sq ft. The project features lush greenery throughout and will also have swimming pools and a tennis court.
Meanwhile, sales continue to be slow at Vue 8 Residence, a 99-year leasehold condo near Pasir Ris Beach. Just 70-plus units are thought to have moved, since the project was released last month. The average price is said to be a tad below $1,000 psf.
The Quinn, a 139-unit freehold condo along Bartley Road, also has seen tepid sales. Fewer than 20 units have found buyers since the project's release a couple of weeks ago. The five-storey development's average price is close to $1,600 psf. Absolute prices start from around $850,000 for a one-bedder.
I have to agree with mm king here. Comparing Jurong with kovan is a joke. Buyers who do such comparison are most likely really not familiar with kovan or singapore :eek:
put it tis way. Im a potential buyer wif budget $800k-$900k for a 1 bedder.
I hv shortlisted 2 proj which meet the $ criteria, J gateway n tembusu. kindly advise me how do I make a decision if I dun compare the 2?
though I agree wif u guys tat kovan vs Jurong is not an apple to apple comparison, but wat a potential buyer is concerned with here is with $xx tat he has, issit more worthwhile to buy an apple or an orange?

why is everyone praising the kovan area? is it really that good? for me, ive never really found it quite so attractive. it's considered OCR and too far from the city. yes mrt, yes landed property area, but i would think that D15 beats kovan anytime.
besides, the tembusu isnt that close to mrt is it?

u r rite, tembusu cannot be considered as close to mrt but considering the fact tat it is fh, it is not tat bad either.

put it tis way. Im a potential buyer wif budget $800k-$900k for a 1 bedder.
I hv shortlisted 2 proj which meet the $ criteria, J gateway n tembusu. kindly advise me how do I make a decision if I dun compare the 2?
though I agree wif u guys tat kovan vs Jurong is not an apple to apple comparison, but wat a potential buyer is concerned with here is with $xx tat he has, issit more worthwhile to buy an apple or an orange?
800k-900k for 1-bedroom is a very healthy budget. in fact you have so many options D12, D13, D14, D15, D19 etc etc...
don't restrict yourself, look beyond new launch...

Im not buying la, juz bought a 1 bedder a couple of mths back at $6xx :D
mayb old liao, still cannot digest a 1 bedder at $800k-900k as a healthy budget for OCR :(
why is everyone praising the kovan area? is it really that good? for me, ive never really found it quite so attractive. it's considered OCR and too far from the city. yes mrt, yes landed property area, but i would think that D15 beats kovan anytime.
besides, the tembusu isnt that close to mrt is it?
I will choose d19 over d15. Maybe it's just me

haha sorry mermaid didnt mean to quote u la
anyway which property did u invest in?
i guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions. D15 is also a big area, covering meyer/ amber/ tanjong rhu/ joo chiat/ siglap/ marine parade. different areas have their own good and bad points. it would be the same for D19 of course - punggol and serangoon are worlds apart.
I think the 1 bedders are good buys. The 1 bedder unit layout is spacious and better than most 1 bedders i have seen in new condos. From site plan, think those 1 BR stacks facing south & overlooking the landed area will enjoy wide unblock views. Got a feeling the 1 bedders will sell out soon following the 2 bedders.
Comparing this with promenade@pelikat which is more value for money? Both freehold, other aspect of course tembusu win hands down. But pricing a huge diff.. promenade is also Walkable to mrt tho slightly further, but got sheltered walkway.

Buyer got all types. As a buyer, are you buying for own stay or investment? If for investment is it long term or short term? Mainly capital gain or mainly rental gain? And when renting out what kind of tenants are you looking for?
Let me put it this way too, I have a 2 bedder at sea avenue. So far my tenants have always been white collar expats couple who are looking for different kinds of lifestyle. I didn't fix any specific requirements. It's just how it is. And If you are renting out a unit in Jurong, you can get ANY types of tenants.
Jurong no matter how much hype, will always be Jurong. It can never be compare to other districts.
If you want me to choose, not comparing pricing between projects but more on affordability and potential rental gains, I will buy Jurong too.
Wonder what sort of buyers we have?
Aren't they affected by the ABSD or TDSR?
With all these, it totally take away the possible capital gains. :simmering: :doh:

TDSR really affect a lot of buyers. I heard instead of up to 3 days now it takes up to 10 days to assess your loan. And I don't understand why rental income cannot be taken into consideration for loan approval.

Indeed, I was trying to do my re-financing. With the new procedure, we need to provide all documentation proof of all loans / credit services that we have. (from car hire purchase agreement to ALL credit cards bills)
It is a long and tiring process for me to dig all the documents for the loan officer. Almost wanted to give up.

I will never buy any of these 2.
1) Too far from city
2) Too expensive
Kovan will always be Kovan. So what it has landed? Sengkang also got landed. As for Jurong, it is beyond my imagination why people can fork out 1.7k psf for a OCR. Crazy.
If I have to buy with a 900k budget, I will look at something nearer to town and give me rental.
Going to TOP projects or just TOP projects such as Coralis, Shore residences or Waterbank. I believe still can get a studio below 1M and rent out at 3.5k easily. That will give me > 4% yield for at least 3 to 4 years over J Gateway or Tembusu. Or die die have to buy OCR with 900k budget, I will get Optima studio. Easily can buy one below 850k and rent out at 3.2k. Why should I take the risk of buying something that need to wait for 4 years when I can buy something at the same price but with rental? If it is cheap, still okay. But no thanks at $1700 psf.

If priority is buy to Stay, I would encourage la.. compare to paying about $640k for Jewel (closest example rather than Jurong)
If buy for Rental.. eh.. I will try find a unit @ KG, Kovan Suites for below $600k with Tenant and just go with it. Include ABSD 10% overall cost still below $700k... 4 years even if sell at $700k, still earn abit Capital plus Rental and still cheaper than the cheapest Tembusu have for Sale even now
If not I will bring the $700k to Geylang, my preferred choice

But KG is lh99 wor.. Only slightly cheaper than Tembusu. If holding longer term not worth it compared to freehold.

Astute opinion. Why are you not joining the investors club yet and still an agent??
Oh you enjoy agent work... so nice!
BTW not to poo poo on this project sales, but The Bentley coming up much more walkable to Kovan MRT (same side of Kovan - the 'good' and landed side - as infamous Hillside Dr case wahahaha). Tembusu is hdb and industrial side btw.
But KG is lh99 wor.. Only slightly cheaper than Tembusu. If holding longer term not worth it compared to freehold.

Ya la.. I'm talking for developer launches lah.... faintz.
If you first hand owner, for investment purposes, I seriously doubt you will hold over 10 yrs much less 20 or 30.
BTW mermaid, I noticed you also quite free hor. Semi retired like me huh...?
For now Geylang is undervalued.
I saw 1 or 2 fh 1 bedder in geylang at below $600k I tink. but the floorplan is damn lousy sia ...
Geylang buy is easy want to sell might be a problem especially those even numbers lorong below 30. U see a few launched quite long time ago still cannot sell.

Geylang buy is easy want to sell might be a problem especially those even numbers lorong below 30. U see a few launched quite long time ago still cannot sell.
in future might be easier to sell becos it is relatively cheaper yet quite centralised?
for FH not so worrying, I tink.
And get 'trapped' another 8 years meh lol
the prob wif bto/ECs is gena trapped for 8 yrs. if hv enuff $, 8 yrs allow u to flip 2 condos under the existing rule liao.
anyway, the newer BTO/ECs hv rather bad loc as all gd sites r reserved for pte liao.
Those apartments with very few units like 30 or 40 units better don't keep too long even it is freehold. Maintenance fees can kill.
Comparing Tembusu to D19 condos, I prefer Jade residences. Only 5min walk to serangoon MRT, got NEX and it's on the quiet landed side of the estate. Tranquil but yet so near to 2 mrts. I think it has full 50m lap pool too.
I think psf prices are about the same and both are FH. In terms of rental returns, Jade is probably a more astute choice as it won't be hard to get a tenant there.
If I'm not wrong, a 2 bedder at Jade is about 800k+ only?

jade's 2bedroom is size of normal condo 1bedroom... 450-500sqf? i think it is also a smaller project, 100+ units iirc.
both also gd la imo... quite good projects among the freehold launch in the last 12mths. tembusu like the height if you live higher, surroundings not much high rise buildings, go dhoby ghaut not that long... it is quite central if driving.
now got many things to consider too, like ABSD, TDSR and future doubts even 6.9m looming. maybe if first condo can afford then can hoot without too much worries.
anyway the sales got 90% now?
hmm.. Bentley residence @ kovan, name so atas lol... and small development, i think around kovan got a few small FH launches liao right... <100 units. some ppl don't like those small ones.
kensington square any opinion? see tv keep airing the ad lol...

Was quoted a unit in stack 3 for a 3-bedded 1044 sqft for $$1.6m. Given the competition in Kovan area, rental for a 3-bedded is about $3500-$4000 and that is 2.6% - 3% yield. Bad investment choice. For own stay, can get cheaper FH units in D15 or nearer town in D12, D13. Maintenance cost in the future for this development is going to be very high. The Skybridges at level 6 and 12 makes no sense since they lead to nowhere. Rooftop for vegetation planting also makes no sense.
Only positive is good layout.

Maybe own stay? But I agree for investment, you will be killing yourself. Who will buy OCR at such ridiculous psf??? Interest go up, rental go down, you can go jump off the building already. 4k rental is a pretty optimistic figure. I will take 3 to 3.5k in 3 years time. It is a OCR and MRT is not that near.

30 OCT 2013 19 THE TEMBUSU 107A TAMPINES ROAD #XX-XX CONDOMINIUM FREEHOLD 1,367sqft STRATA 1,613psf 2,205,000
I am wondering if Tembusu is better than the freehold at Skyscrape? Skycrape is nearer to town and freehold?
Hi everyone, I posted pictures taken this weekend on skyscrapercity forum. Enjoy....:cheers4:
