These are genuine buyers for own stay and they are really exercised wisdom in choosing the units. A large proportion of the units taken are the either the very affordable 2 bedders not facing anywhere (at least most of them don't get afternoon sun) or the larger 3 and 4 bedders facing the pool (getting morning sun only). On the other hand, the majority of the "premium" stacks that faces the Sungei were not taken; reflecting the simple fact that customers are not biting that because:
- Admit it. The waterfront is actually an upsized Monsoon Drain. Not river. Not some Kallang or Marina Bay kinda waterfront with jetskis or canoes or what nots over here. It is simply a very very big longkang. Period.
- Premium stacks all kena west sun. Slanted west sun. But its still west sun. Period x 2.
- The layout of the premium stacks has a lot of wasted space like a huge balcony or balconies in the master bedroom. These are simply useless to many buyers. And they won't pay for it. Neither will I. Period x 3.
- Premium for the above 3 factors. You need to be damned clear what you want and what you are getting when you commit to that facing at that pricing. I have stayed there for 30 over years and I am damned sure what I am getting so no thanks to the price. :tsk-tsk:
