I just visited one unit at Aquarius by the Park this weekend, and I love it! Beautiful landscape, peaceful green park & partial reservoir view. Heard it has one of the biggest swimming pool in Singapore.

There is a new PIE exit just next to Clear Water, which make it very easy access to highway while the HDB blocks and Clear Water block all the noise pollution :), resort living, good facilities. They even have little shops inside (market, salon, etc.).

What is the best price for this project? Your comment please.

-----
This condominium at Bedok Reservoir is a high-density residential estate, which is just beside the Bedok reservoir, a great place for joggers and cyclists.
It is a self-contained condominium complex with its own convenience shop and cafeteria, you would hardly need to step outside to get your necessities

Have you considerd The Tropica? The otherside of Bedok Reservoir, good feng shui, every unit at least have pool view, some even have pool + reservoir / quarry park view. the best, it's going to have a MRT station just near by the project!
The only drawback is there is no balcony... but at least no HDB behaviour to sun the laundry in the balcony! :P

Tropica is very very hot and the rooms are small some units face the longkang. ABP has some rooms that are Triangle... I dont like the layout but it is reasonably priced also the facilities are good.

I'm also looking for an apt in the east area and have been to aquarius as well. Do u find the ceiling in aquarius slightly lower than hdb? the furnishings are a bit old and need replacement. Other than that, the condo facilities look ok to me. But still find the price high for a 99 yr lease 7 yr old project.

To be so bold to give a frank opinion of aquarius, this project is just too old.
Even though there are comments that baywater is the most pricey of the bedok reservoir condos, but there is a reason to it. I have viewed all the condos within the bedok reservoir area. Baywater commands the highest yield, aquarius the lowest.

Even though there are comments that baywater is the most pricey of the bedok reservoir condos, but there is a reason to it. I have viewed all the condos within the bedok reservoir area. Baywater commands the highest yield, aquarius the lowest.
visited bay water, well, it's new, so every thing is modern, however, one of room is just too tiny too dark to be used, the entire project is just too small to invite friends. the worst, i don't like the location, just site beside busy PIE, Bedok North and Reservoir road, i just can't image how to sleep in the road center...

Location wise, of course water wave is even better, but you have to pay more...

Given $100K difference selling price, you can use it to totallly renovete the AQPB, and yet enjoy the bigger landscape, full facility and quiet environment.

AQPB is cheap and good if it's for your own stay. So let's wait for the price drop below $500psf. soon...

By the way, when I went to see the units in BW and AQ, unlike half year a lot, i'm the only one to view and the agent follow up very badly. Less unit is put on sales now, but even less buyer to view. According to the agent, very little phone calls now a day...

Yah, noticed that. Need to redo everything as most of the unit do up a lot of buid-in furniture....

1. the master bedroom no place to put a TV. how?
2. 3rd bedroom is L sharp, have to use as study room only
3. Kitchen is so old. redo is a must. $$$
4. toilet is so old, need to knock down the bathtub and replace with jacuzzi. $$
5. can't remember the common toilet, is it no window? how come so dark?

Given above must-do action list, how much is the best price shall we offer for this 99 yr lease 7 yr old project? your comments please!

$450psf --> $600K for 1324 sq ft unit : not possible already, right?
$500psf --> $660K: too much to offer?
$550psf --> $728K: dare to try?
$600psf --> $800K: current price, but nobody to offer :o

Look it carefully, the new line will by pass all those AQ, CW, BW and WW, the nearest is have a Reservior station at Sin Song, then straight away to Quarry Park - that means The Tropica will have MRT station at their door drop!
No wonder the price in Tropica is higher than AQ & CW, even though no balcony at all.

Just as scheduled, URA has just invited developers to submit bids for the 3.2ha site, just beside The Tropica. Interest is expected to generate alot of interest.
The site is well connected to major arterial roads and expressways such as Tampines Expressway and the Pan Island Expressway. The Tampines MRT station and bus interchange, which is located in close proximity to the sale site, will provide convenient access to all parts of the island.
Near to Hitech wafer Park Industry yet not too close.
View of Bedok Reservior yet no busy/noisy road as compared to the opposite bank of the Reservoir.....
So the price will increase for Tropica! more reason to have one MRT station in the quarry park, in 8 more years...

yes,i agree. AQ is only good if for own stay and families with kids. For investment, it's totally out if purchase at this price above $600 psf. today, news out there another new condo project for tender beside The tropica, going to price at lesser than $700psf, with that, it seem like a fool to rush in and buy AQ now. Not to forget the amt we need to spend to revamp the whole unit... and to live with surfacing defects over the years since it TOP, it's appealing to buy from new projects if we can wait.

So I think the price u mentioned is possible to aim at. Cos 99 yrs lease project always have this shortfall as compared to FH and 999. imagine another few years, it'll be more than 10 years old. maybe by then, the price will go down to similar to melville park units.

just my views, to live on hopes that MRT will be round the corner is just something to smoke us buyers. How long is that going to be? 5 or 10 or 15 years? Maybe by the time I close both my eyes, the mrt still not up there. Just give us enough buses to travel for other family members or visitors, otherwise I guess most of us drive, so mrt or not is not a key attractive factor. Not to forget the construction problem and noise that accompany with it if ever MRT is built.
Anyway AQ is still one of our shortlisted choices due to work distance personal preference.

Tampines residential site up for tender

Offer seen as acid test for property market after recent signs of upswing
By Joyce Teo, Property Correspondent

A NEW home site on offer in Tampines, overlooking Bedok Reservoir, could shape up as an acid test for the property market after recent signs of a revival.

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) yesterday invited developers to submit bids for the 3.2ha site at the junction of Tampines avenues 1 and 10.
Some property consultants said the 99-year leasehold site's suburban location meant completed homes could command prices of up to $700 per sq ft (psf), which is slightly higher than neighbouring condominiums. They say the land could fetch anywhere between $107 million and $165 million.


The site, with a maximum gross floor area of 66,655 sq m, is next to The Tropica condo, where caveats show recent deals were done for between $547 psf and $622 psf, or $590,000 to $1.13 million. Other nearby condos include Aquarius By The Park, The Clearwater and the recently completed Baywater, which fetched $600 psf to $680 psf.

Mr Leonard Tay, director of research at CBRE, said: 'Based on these comparables and taking into account higher construction costs, we expect that a new 99-year leasehold project in this location may fetch prices of around $700 psf.'

This would translate to a possible land price of $200 to $230 psf per plot ratio for the site, he added.
But some others expect a more cautious response, in view of the current fairly quiet market and the risk of falling prices.
On Monday, the URA released figures showing that private home sales had rebounded from the previous months' lows. But the sales were still way below last year's figures.
Consultants such as Ms Tay Huey Ying of Colliers International said the upswing in activity could be the result of developers testing the market with launches.
Mr Ku Swee Yong, Savills Singapore's director of business development and marketing, said bids for the Tampines plot could come in as low as $150 to $180 psf per plot ratio.
At this price, the successful developer could sell the apartments for $650 psf to $700 psf, he added.
Although the site fronts Bedok Reservoir, not all the apartments will have a view of the lake, said Mr Ku.
Mr Tay said that as the site is on the north-western boundary of Tampines New Town, it is about five to 10 minutes' drive from Tampines Central and Tampines MRT station.
Residents can also head for Tampines Retail Park on Tampines Avenue 10, where Giant, Ikea and Courts are located, he added.
The tender for the Tampines site will close on Aug 12.
It is a confirmed list site under the Government's land sales programme. These sites go on sale on specified dates.
The Government also sells land under a reserve list, in which sites are put up for sale only after developers have indicated interest by committing to a minimum bid. This month, the Government is expected to announce its land sales programme for the second half of the year.

Actually the worst hit at the moment is BAYWATER the main road is like kissing the condo. Wonder if they feel the vibration everytime a bus goes past. So clearwater and ACQ is still a consideration. SEE ACQ has the bus service, eatery, shop etc and one of the better pools. BAYwater is so small, you cant even walk around the condo you will probably walk into the guard post or something. The Tropica at the moment only low floor selling but looks like the upcoming development and train and United world College will add the boast!! But yes it is D18 afterall and the layout not fantastic.
There are still some crazy sellers that advertise their houses for 700-800 per Sq feet at these condos.... err wonder they hit any gondo buyer since here we looking at below 500 per sq feet!

Totally agree! The sellers insist to sell at sky high price and saying "if not I will rent it out". But look my weekend exprirents, there is no BUYER/VIEWER at all to view the house, and some of the vacant units are full of dust! If rental so good, why vacant there to collect dust?

Wake up lah, those 99 LH owners, see the bad news from stock markets, one after another.... why not break the ice, let go the units at reasonable price?

5 years later, Baywater will be old also, the layout, design will be out dated. By then, which project still has a selling point? Old AQ cheap with bigger facility? Or Baywater located in the mid of main road with mini facility? While new projects (WW, new one beside tropica), new MRT station at quarry park, I guess BW will drop to the cheapest project in Bedok Reservoir...

For AQ, at least it's good for own stay with family and children, any time still can find this kind of buyers...
Prefer AQ to the rest, only if the price can go below 550psf...

WW is definetely over priced, BW is too small... why not to wait for the new project next to Tropica?

in my humble opinion, if i'm spending 1 mil to get BW, I would rather look for an apt in district 15. Some apartments projects have similar condo facilities with lesser units sharing. definitely more attractive to stay in exclusive brandnew apartments. last heard 3BR at blu coral going at $900+K. Adara after discount 1 mil.

precisely and someone said BW sold for 1.1 Million?? Must be kidding us... no wonder no one have any news on it... rumours lah to up the price of that place because of WW.

Irregardless of this disagreement/dispute on sale prices at Bedok Reservoir, interesting it is noted that the rental in these area infact has risen.
For example the Rental of The Aquarius:
Q4 07 (by $/sqfoot per month)
25th percentile 50th percentile 75th percentile
2.17 2.78 2.9
Q1 08 (by $/sqfoot per month)

Your feedback please.

u forgot to provide the area size.. 950k for how many sqft? also why are u so pre-occupied with leasehold or freehold? u sld pay as little as possible for a similar box size.. esp if u have no intention to move for 7-10yrs period, u sld be able to ride out the cycle and be in for another enbloc wave..things change and there's no point in paying so much for extra mortgage with the money going into somebody's pockets..rental has nothing to do with leasehold/freehold..a safety net for landlords, rental market is always there as long as the price is right..

easter2 - meville park went down cos of the increase indian population there.. previously more japs... the project is still quite good and reasonable pricing...and yes, if u dont see mrt up within 2-3yrs time, then dont make that a consideration, esp when the exact spot is not even confirmed..u can easily go through another cycle before the station is even up..

let's be patient - yup, traffic is a concern in that stretch

baywater buy - easter2/East Lover 2 are right..the kind of prices for new projects in bedok reservoir/pasir ris area, better spent in district 15... just remember, those projects in tanah merah, next to mrt, also cannot sustain the high rates ... what's more those in the deep east like reservoir/pasir ris... it remains, to stay, choose what u like based on yr preferred lifestyle; to invest, think again..location is important..

It's 1518 sqft 4 bedders + a swee family area, all rooms have fantasic reservior view, windy and bright.

Just...... 950k is nearly 1 million, it's very hard to convince myself to buy an old 99 project even with a great view :( That's why I need your guys' feedback and 737, your points are so valid! Thanks a lot!

By the way, I remember such unit was as low as below 700K just 2 years ago! will such old good time be back? :)

MARKET SNAPSHOT: U.S. Stocks Plunge; Worst June For Dow Since 1930

U.S. stocks fell sharply Thursday with the blue-chip index enduring its worst June so far since 1930, and plunging to its lowest finish since Sept. 11, 2006, after getting slammed hard as crude soared to new highs and Goldman Sachs disparaged U.S. brokers and advised selling General Motors Corp.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) tumbled 358.41 points, or 3%, to 11, 453.42, leaving it down nearly 1,200 points, or 9.4%, for the month, with two trading days yet to go. As things stand, the month is the worst June so far since 1930 when the index declined 17.72%.

"It was the middle of March that the Bear Stearns debacle became public, sending the Dow to a low of 11,731. That level was broken within the first minute of trading today," wrote Kathy Lien, chief strategist of DailyFX.com.

******
Singapore stocks opened lower with the benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) down 56.81 points, or 1.9 per cent, to 2,924.14, at the opening.

$625psf (950k/1518) is still bearable... if u like it, by all means... though still not for it cos transport network not ideal. size-wise for a 4bd still short of the 1650sqft ideal and hopefully no irregular corners that diminish the actual area size presented..box size is important, else stuck with it for long time...anyway, as i've mentioned before, reservoir no fight for kallang water activities. so if that's all the lifestyle u seek, by all means go for it...personally i would rather go east coast than be around here.. the feel is different, but that's personal..from a rental point of view, cos near to ubi, so not too bad.. box size/condo facilities/area transport/surrounding+liefstyle/potential are key considerations besides psf..

Agree with your observation.
Apartments in the EastCoast/Telok Kurau truely looks in the papers advertisement. On ground inspection, the projects are so cluttered to the neighbours low rise (at the moment). You never when the houses besides these projects will be sold. When you buy, you can have the best view (you thought) but for how long? Nice view today...Gone tomorrow. Roads are also narrowed. Do not see a systematic housing developments.
Apartment projects prop up here and there......can be quite messy.

Unlike projects fronting the reservoir or park...the environment is need and tidy....

Waterfront Waves is bounded by park at the back and reservoir in :banghead: front. The whole stretch is condominium. No way there will be buidlings in front of you or at the back. visit the place at night and you will feel how windy it is. I guess this is what was meant need and tidy

How are the facilities there? How is the unit's layout? how is the price they are asking for? All have to think...
BTW, visited once before (friend's party at function room), feel the estate very small, not so grand, no much landscape... but if the price is reasonable, why not?

Usual full-condo facilities. reservoir view in living and master bedrm. although the 2 bedrms might get some evening sun.
The landscape is nothing to shout about, although i feel that estate is bigger than the neighbouring BW, and at least 200K less than BW too. something value for $ ?

The average is around $600psf, yours maybe higher due to the reservoir view. Any traffict noisy? Similar to BW, CLW also have 2 main roads, will it be noisy?

Since market is very very quiet now, you can try your luck for $550 psf. All the best!

Recently went to AQBP, really love it and find that the place meet my needs for a condo. it has a beautiful swimming pool which light up beautifully at night. Having dinner by the pool side with friends or family will be a relaxing, soothing, romantic and pleasant occasion with reasonable price food at the cafeteria.

It has a resort feel to it, seems like we were there on a resort trip, feel so good :) if i move in, i wouldn't mind staying at home the whole day to enjoy the lively surroundings and environment.

The condo is self contained with full fledge facilities and there is even a salon & mini mart. so dun even need to step out of the condo!

1 of the unit that my hubby and I visited is very cosy and comes with very good furnishing. I love the balcony, very windy... must said that the place is well maintained, the interiors are still in good conditions hence no renovation needed. Can move in as it is.

Personally, i do not prefer to stay too near to MRT station as the surroundings will definitely be noisy. Basically, the bus stop are just outside the condo for CLW and AQBP so would be very convenient as well. Moreover AQBP also provide shuttle bus service to bedok & tampines.

As for BW, i find the project rather small, not much walking space although the balcony looks quite spacious.

for CLW, i find the swmming pool too squarish, no balcony at although they have a full height window. Seems like living in a fish tank....

Take a look at The Tropica.
What you describe for Aquarius, you would have it in The Tropica. In additional to that, you do not have to bear with the noisy road sandwich btw the reservoir and the Aquarius.
In The Tropica, you get fresh breeze from the reservoir constantly. This project is spacious and serene......

This is what feng shui says (not from me):-

A big road with plenty of traffic, the strength and potency of the chi generated is more powerful than a small lane. Highway will generate more chi than a normal road.

Also the speed of traffic does matter. when the traffic moves very fast, the chi created along the road is like a bullet bringing negative harmful energy. When the flow of traffic moves slowly, its chi energy is a lot more benevolent and therefore much more positive in its effects. Thus secondary roads (like those within suburban neighbourhoods, gated communities or housing estates) usually bring better feng shui than primary roads, ring roads or highways.

When the direction of the road is favourable to your home, then the stronger the road is, the more good luck it brings. Likewise, when the direction of flow is unfavourable, its negative effect is also greater.

The Tropica.

This cond is the only one can enjoy the beautiful lake view, without any road traffic noise, as it's directly facing water. there is a side gate can go to bodek reservior directly. u will not worry about your kid to ride bike there as no need to across road at all.

And the best is, the entire project is designed according to feng shui, all the units are facing south and facing pool, very good feng shui.

Not like the rest of new/old projects along the reservior- it always give you view, free with road noise, and north facing...

only thing is the asking price in Tropica will be slightely higher than AQ or Clear Water, or whatever water.

So good luck for your house hunting!

There is a side gate that link to park connector with direct access to the park without crossing the road too. :D

The Tropica.

This cond is the only one can enjoy the beautiful lake view, without any road traffic noise, as it's directly facing water. there is a side gate can go to bodek reservior directly. u will not worry about your kid to ride bike there as no need to across road at all.

And the best is, the entire project is designed according to feng shui, all the units are facing south and facing pool, very good feng shui.

Not like the rest of new/old projects along the reservior- it always give you view, free with road noise, and north facing...

only thing is the asking price in Tropica will be slightely higher than AQ or Clear Water, or whatever water.

So good luck for your house hunting!

I agree. It is facing the lake without the noise from PIE/Bedok Reservoir Road. Problem is far from MRT and amenities. There is a new plot of land near Tropica .. not sure whether any developer has bought it yet. And within 1km of super-stressful St Hilda primary school

I think Tropica has the best view of the reserviour but also direct hit from sunset. unless this is not a concern.

but am sure it will be within walking distance to the new MRT station in the plan..:spliff:
