    well CR is top in terms of price, so maybe 'best'

    Since it's the king, should call it Canberra Crown Residences then you can tell people you stay in CCR

    Better than One Canberra Residences (OCR) or Royal Canberra Residences (RCR)

    Yah, last time got Heights, got Gardens etc (i know you talking about toyoto though)

    Then came 90's and got Regency, got Towers, View etc

    then came the latest trend of Residences, Thes, Suites, Lofts, etc

It's not a condo, it's apartment status actually so less space for facilities (which also means u get less recreational sq ft for your buck)

    Walking to SSC is only 5 min

    Between that and Seletaris if I really had to choose I would pick Sensoria. Else in that area Northwood would be the best value for money.
    northwood tuck away from main road, is it really that good? I dont like the entrance, very narrow and crowded. I have yet to visit the project.

    sensoria's air quality should be better as the surrounding is not cluttered - no shophouses around doing all kinds of businesses.

    small projects and few facilities is fine for me cos more exclusive + less users. But the problem is the price upside is restricted and some owner tends to sell low if they are in any urgency to off load. so the price of small apartment is somehow below market value.

    tats why u see that small project's psf price movement cannot move faster than those 200 to 300 units type of projects.

    100 plus units projects also have this problem but not as bad so its a trade off between exclusivity and price rise.

    these days most of the produce are from China but "made in china" as project name? It will sell better masking it.

    Anyway back to topic

    Interest seems up nowadays - many investors in the region looking (be them from China or otherwise)

    I think we really have a lot of cash-rich people wanting to invest and Far North prices are the most attractive for them

    Saw A'Posh BizHub few days ago in Yishun. Commercial flatted space, 60years, low quantum with projected 6 to 6.5% rental yield, claims support Seletar Hub.

    Anyone knows if all the recent measures apply to commercial space or not? What about hdb shopspace? Sorry for OT. Thanks.

    Tagore freehold too pricey for most pax lah.....prices at least $1m and above. I prefer Northlink even tho its abt 10 yrs old. more affordable lah the demand for the units there are still pretty hot with good rental yields. even on a Sun, business is still bustling there which is a good sign for the businesses there....

    Hi there
    didn't do research on A'Posh so I'm sorry I can't comment much on A'Posh although I heard quite a number of units sold.

    I think it's 60-yr leasehold? as long as not 30-yr leasehold then not too bad lah. and I think they are developing that entire area with flatted factories like around it. the leases for the Kaki Bukit factories are running out in 1-2 years' time so the tenants may be looking towards Yishun for alternative venues. I kind of think they will prefer to remain in the same general vicinity if possible but nearer locations like Ubi are already quite old and the traffic there is terrible. downside is that with so many new factories in the area, competition for tenancy will be keen lah....

    All waiting for new Bishan condo to raise the bar.
    If it's a sellout, then Centro will see good sales and rest will follow.

    If sales as dismal as Centro, then prices will remain where they are...

    sorry, my brain finally wake up a bit bit. I'm referring to Defu factories where the leases are running out, not Kaki Bukit
    .......Kaki Bukit is ok place but like Ubi, the traffic is terrible......

    Yes it has. Look at Tennery, Greenwich, etc
    You mean Titanic?

    If CR hit close to 900psf for 2 bedders good chance FEO may raise the bar. Let's see
