Parc Olympia - 63 out of 483 left unsold = 87% sold
Looks about the same to me.

hmm even considering that olympia just recently launch ? :POriginally Posted by leftfield
maybe Olympia is more active advertising ...
leftfield do you think that hedges park is a good buy compared to other condo surrounding?
btw I searched a little bit and found that the TOP is 2014, will it finish earlier? if im not mistaken normally it will be finised 3-6 months earlier?
Palm Isles is about 84% sold as well if you are interested. Launched in early 2012.Originally Posted by zeroxon
TOP was supposed to be in 2015 so the 3Q 2014 already takes into consideration the buffer.
Probably not the best person to give advice since I'm vested but given today's mad prices for new launches, I do feel there's value for money here (relatively speaking of cos!).

thanks for your adviseOriginally Posted by leftfield
Guys, I bought a 4 bedder at Hedges 2 months back. Few questions:
1. Looking at the pace of construction what can be the likely TOP...can it be Q2 2014?
2. Your view on prices at time of TOP taking into accnt risk of property decline post CM(cooling measure) 7. I was expecting capital appreciation of ~ 20% but seems it may turn out flat.
3. Any idea on mix of buyers at Hedges? Is it largely locals or good mix of locals, PR's and foreigners.
Thnx

Yay! I can finally post after registering few times and all.
leftfield, do you drive a BM? I think I saw you and your wife on New Year's Day taking photo of the site. I recently bought a unit in Nov so went to take a look at the site. I took a stroll along Flora Road and really like the serenity and the general feel of the neighbourhood despite the multiple constructions and workers quarters.
To gull, the buyers profile: SINGAPOREANS 84.5%, PR 9.8%, FOREIGNER 5.4%, COMPANY 0.3%.
I think the brochure TOP is Dec 2014 but later amended to Jun 2015? I am guessing 2014Q3?
Unfortunately today's announcement of the new MRT line do not seem to have any plus for Flora area. It seems to be further than Upper Changi and Tampines East MRTs.
1. Aug 2014 is about right, I don't think it will be any earlier.Originally Posted by gull
2. 20%? You are very optimistic!
3. Think answer has been given in the earlier post.
Oops, tio spotted! But lucky was with the Mrs!Originally Posted by leftrightcentre
Jokes aside, I don't think the MRT stations for the new line will be near anyway. Besides, only ready by 2030!

Haha! I was just leaving when you arrived. Was at the other end of the bus bay. Turned around and saw you taking photo and guess it could be you. Should have walked over to say hi to my future neighbour. I presume you bought for own stay since you've been going to take progress photos?Originally Posted by leftfield
This kind of ulu location of cos buy for own stay, lol.Originally Posted by leftrightcentre

When will the developer call for additional 10% payment? We need to pay additional 10% when completion of reinforced concrete framework of unit, means if my unit is 2nd floor I need to pay eariler than people who buy 8th floor? Want to know since need to make some financial arrangement, thanks.
Dear All,
Will Flora road benefit from new MRT lines...Is it a generic annvmnt or they have already pinned down the exact stations & their locations?
The other thing I wanted to ask was on balconies in Hedges. Personally, I love balconies and notice that Hedges has a very big one along the whole length of living room. Is it good, bad or subjective to each individual. I feel it gives high end porsh look and will make the house airy.
Will like to hear your views?
Best rgds! Gull
[QUOTE=lzhou006]Originally Posted by leftfield
- Yes. You are right. They have already started calling for the 10% sometime in Sept 2012

You can probably walk there, provided u cross the busy highway junction exit which has no traffic stop there .( towards airport)
You ll get a better idea if you go check it out personally.
As for the huge balconies, I agree tat it was a huge bonus point. Definitely airy & opens up the entire living space.
The Gale is almost completed. ( I drove by there yesterday) You can see their units/ balconies very clearly now. And I believe Hedges Park is slightly longer than the ones at The Gale. So, that might be a good gauge.
If you r happy with The Gale, then perhaps, Hedges Park ones will be just as good. *fingers crossed
( i tell myself lower expectations will lead to higher level of happiness. Lol )
Nice! For the longest time, I thought I was the only one who bought an unit here! Looks like we have quite a few owners here too!

Hedges had a good headstart before Olympia and Palm but the weakest sales. Hedges is the cheapest too. Really wonder why.Originally Posted by leftfield
I don't like the concept and layout of Olympia but it is the best selling.
Palm is more spacious than Hedges and I think the finishing are better quality and I think the fitments are branded (unlike Hedges "no brand"). Don't like the L-shaped wardrobe and the layout not what I wanted but other than that, I think it is a good development with good design. Open kitchen, less exposed entrance, etc. The ex-Fraser owner 1% discount is a plus too. Can understand why it sells.
Even if for the Hedges lack of marketing, when anyone goes to Olympia or Palm, they would have popped over to Hedges for comparison before making their mind no?
For PI, the bigger units were all sold out when I visited them so it was never a consideration. In any case, PI's location to me was not ideal, it is further in which is a considerable walk from the bus-stop.Originally Posted by leftrightcentre
Like I said earlier in this thread, was seriously considering PO but the concept and later TOP counted against it, thought its price was cheaper.
In the end, all things considered, the strongest factor going for HP was the earliest TOP among the 3.

I hv seen PI & PO as well. I don't like e layout of e blocks. Seems so cramped w condos unit/ apartment unit/ landed units.
The show flat awkward entrance was the deal breaker for me.
I understd tat PO has a much higher Mthly maintainence fee as well. ( which I ll prob not use after e novelty wears off)
Hedges park finishing seems rougher at their show flat. But I can deal with tat.
They are building level 3 now. . . I also went to e bus bay to take some pics.
Hey, post them here, at least I don't have to be the only one giving regular construction updates!Originally Posted by Roarrrr

To be a stone's throw away from Changi Prison is a real turn-off, for me anyway.

Though Hedges Park(99yr lease) is sited near to several predominently older FH condos, the landscape seems impressive.
