OMG, cannot sleep tonight, cannot wait to rush down to take a look at the real unit ( curious how small it would be) but at this time they might reject the view. To be honest the swimming pool looks to me is not very pretty from the photos, lack some feelings. the colors are too simple and does not match well ( a bit boring).
I did not measure it, but i guess is about 3.2 meter without false ceiling. With ceiling board at kitchen area I think should be around 2.6 meter.
I think there should be quite a lot of defect. For my unit, it is not ready yet. Worker still patching up tile that is not properly done. I suspect there is water seepage issue.
With my hubby. This little apparent is initially purchased for renting out more than own stay ( we are currently living in HDB) But I changed my mind as feeling not very good to let stranger use my brand new apartment. Hehe. So After renovated two of us will move in. Plan to stay for a few years then rent out. We are 小只, believe 560psf is adequate. Yeah I also notice the rent is rang 2.5k-2.9k a bit lower for a new flat.
Must can lah, don't worry. Believe most of us can collect by next week as long as u already gave the cashier' order to lawyer last week. My layer told me she already reimbursed my cashier's order yesterday and normally need 3 days to process, so planning to call the guy to make appointment on next Thursday. Hope can get the key next Saturday
Great to know the height is not that low, but yours is penthouse must be a bit higher than our normal ones lah. Sigh. Still worrying......until the day see the real unit.
Sorry to know ur apartment have some inproper works. such problem should be temparary, all in all developer should know there must be many defects due to rushing so much for TOP and get them fixed without fail.
The penhouses are not ready yet, the doors are all over and I believe you would have seen some of them besides your own. Not sure what they doing with the tiling at the roof top, it is same for many penhouses.
Also noticed it very easy to see your neighbour when you stand at the jacuzzi area, however developer had given this some thought and staggered the jacuzzi such that it will not be side by side with your neighbour
here are some pics
Congratulation to all owners.
Thank you. I not only successfully got in GE, but also successfully entered my unit ( luckily it was unlocked, but unluckily saw our toilet was used by someone, gross!).
Happy to find:
1. Room is actually quite livable, not that small as I imaged.
2. Living / dining / bedrooms height are 2.9-3.2m. not bad not bad.
3. Not as many defaults as I thought.
Sad to find:
1. Both bedrooms width are only 2.4m, we already ordered king size mattresses and bed frame. King size bed is 2.3m long, only left 0.1m for walking. OMG.
2. Width of my 3 balconies are only 80cm. You can imagine how narrow they are. Headache to seek small outdoor table / chair to fit in.
3. The heater of air com are located in a very small closed room outside my living room window which is quite lousy design compare to those unit with outdoor heater. Worried how many years my air con can last.
Anyway, the exciting feeling is surpassing disappointing. kitchen looks small but very decent and functional. Glad to see no indoor trash drop inside kitchen.
when u brought ur unit, u didnt check ur floorplan on the width of the balcony and masterbed room size? sldnt have deviated very much.
Thanks for the heads up! This is very informative
Bedrooms only width 2.4m?! Really how to walk now. LOL. Maybe a super single bed will do the trick.
Balconies only 80cm. Now I really need to think of how to utilize it. But I think most of the time is to hanging the laundry.
oh great you saw your own unit, surprised it is unlocked as i thought only the PH were unlocked.
Guess for your bed, if you can remove the headboard that would help, else eh you need to roll over your bed to get across
Personally for me, 80cm width for balcony is just nice, any bigger it would eat into my living room space.
For aircon, i think there is an exhuast system to channel the warm exhaust to 8 floor roof, not as good as outdoor facing units but hopefully wouldn't give your aircon any trouble.
Will Casa Aerata be able to block your west sun?
For my apartment, I think it is blocked by a new building coming up, haven't gone down to see it around 3-4pm yet because I have already rented out my unit. Before the new building is built, the west sun shine right thru' our main door to the corridor. But if air-cond is on, actually the room is not that hot leh except that it is glaring but can always draw the curtains. Not to mention our S'pore hottest month around May, other than that, actually it is quite windy at times.
Hi GE Owners, anyone collected keys this week ?
Went to check defect today. So far, so good. Some units facing pools are already furnished and with electricity. Pools are occupied even though 2pm/3pm. Carpark also half filled.
Gym is very very small. 2 treadmills, 1 cycle, 1 heavylifting and 1 more machine. Seem like gym, function room and reading room are not reading yet. Some tools (eg paintbrushes) are inside
espeyap, hope you get it on sat
Coffeelemonine, the swimming pool was full at 2pm ?
