why did Sim Lian say average psf only 838psf?
hiyo all
"Average" is a pretty tricky statistic...majority of the units of this price range is probably of the lower floor units and no view of reservoir, quarry or pool like those facing tampines ave 1 or blocked by tropica.

Reported in Business Times today, "SIM Lian Group is understood to have sold about 200 units at its Waterview condo at Bedok Reservoir since it began previewing the project on Tuesday this week."

Hi Guys,
Newbie here.
I'm just wondering : This development has 696 units, and is this considered crowded for a condo?
Newbie
Sim Lian now have a DBSS at tampines and also a Condo project. Good synergy. The pricing of water view is on the high side and too far from mrt.
Newbie
It is considered VERY crowded.
Go for Smallest Unit
Like lake front residence? Very soon a 1000 unit development will be a common sight.

Lakefront R Vs Waterview. Lake view or reservoir view? Which is better?
Junior
my 1 cent,
Lakefront more for investment
Waterview more for own stay
Senior
MM unit will be popular for LF and 2-3 bedder will be more popular at Waterview.
Junior
the pictures damn nice...any investment value in this projects since facing sea on both sides.
Not familiar with this area.

My thoughts are - for investment value, you must have good and clear views of the water else it will be just another condo with facilities.
LF has the advantage of proximity to MRT but choose the unit carefully as noise from the track may be a problem.The other concern I have is the possibility of another development springing up just beside yuan ching road, hence blocking the view.
WV has clear view of the water for those units facing the reservoir and those near the corners. Unlikely to have any further dev to block this view. The disadvantage is no MRT at the doorstep. Nearest MRT at this point is tampines which is abt 15 min away by public tx.
Junior
Lakefront is NOT an MM condo.
Senior
I meant there are MM units (484sqft).
Newbie
just went. 250 units sold by 4pm... slowed down significantly as i think the ones who really want to buy have already bought.
the price is not exactly cheap considering the finishings (prob one of the cheapest showflat ID ever) and stuff they provide.
the smallest units are 2BR (700sf) and 2+1 (926sf), and none have Reservoir views. Will there really be rental potential in this area? even with United World College and Temasek Poly nearby, there are tonnes of HDB flats and cheaper private condos around, why rent this?
Newbie
For own stay? then rental?
Newbie
Both Lake Front and Water View are great for own stay rather than investment. The location of the important landmarks around here are already confirmed anyway, so don't think the buyers are speculators anymore. Compared with another mass market condo like NV residences in Pasir Ris, this location is more serene. The reservoir IS AN ASSET!!! Not sure if expats like to rent this area and if the target tenants are wealthy ones, they won't be having jobs around this area - more to town area and possibly prefer south or south-east side. Can hope to rent them to expat professors from the new university on the east side.
Newbie
Perhaps to the Changi Business Park people which is not too far away..
Newbie
For Waterview, best to compare with changi rise and savannah condo before making a decision. WV like those mentioned are very far from mrt and amenities. SC and CR are priced around $660-760psf range and offers bigger unit size than WV. Despite all these they are well maintained and with some years run down in the lease. They are the condo with alot of unique facilities and units numbered above 600. As for WV, the units seems to be quite a lot 696 vs 638 SC vs 598 CR and next to quarry lake isn't that fantastic about and also not near enough to good primary school. Near to poly isn't a good idea during peak hours travel. NV may not have a bedok reservoir but it still has a beach nearby. As for lakefront condo, if you can stand the strong smell of chemicals and noise all year rd... surely you can live anywhere on the planet earth.

CCR Only
Just came back from showroom. More than 50% sold. Big units go 1st. Many 2bedder left.
By the way the finishes really sucks.. All the cabinet n wardrobe doors are dummy. You cant tell what type of hinges n wood they are giving u. Chip wood or plywood? Even the kitchen sink is solid top moulded.Please provide proper stainless steel sink!!
All can expect what the flooring is.

What is the $psf for 3 bedders?
Newbie
If really need to buy, do not consider those unit facing Tamp Ave 10.
Morning rush hour the road is slow moving leading to PIE. With so many cars in the morning rush, with so many trucks travelling to and from the "sand holding ground" (sorry, don't know what that call), the unit facing the road will be very dusty.

Those units are the units facing the quarry. If interested, buy those units facing Tampines Ave 1, or facing pool, else Reservoir units, but they are all sold.
Newbie
Depending on unit facing, its around 860 - 890 psf.

True. I hate the big yard area. Big areas should be given to areas where most people would spend time in...e.g. living room
Accompanied a friend to take a look at the showflat yesterday. Was quite impressed with the layout. The use of space was quite efficient and the ceiling was exceptional high at 3 metres in the living rm and 2.8m the rest. The back balcony is a bit of a mystery though. Some will probably hate it and some will just love it. There is a maid's room (though labelled as HS) in the brochure. It's just an ordinary room and not the hardened shell of a bomb shelter. I understand there is no longer any legal reqmt for this.
The passageway from living room to bedrooms is quite generous and the bathrooms are comfortably sized.
I was quite taken in by the 4 bedroom unit esp the MBR with large windows on 2 sides of the room. Unfortunately the agent told us most have been taken up with just low floors remaining.
But as the ground flr unit is built 4.5 metres above ground, the 4th flr may just give a green+water view of the reservoir. Still considering

Agree. The finishing is pretty average.
The reason why the cupboards were locked was that they were afraid children will injure themselves.
