    It seems like quite a long walk to kovan mrt. Haven't tried walking myself.

    The 1+1s range from 42-48 sqm. The one in the showflat is 42sqm, if I'm not mistaken.

    Heard from the agent that there's a free shuttle between kovan mrt and promenade for the first year.

    Carbuncle, I actually thought the colourful panels look quite cool and really like the look. Hehe

    Congrats Chrisop,

    When your shop is ready to open, give me a PM.
    I will come support support you since I will be living next door.

    Hmm..shuttle bus from Promenade to Kovan MRT?
    Is it only for residents of Promenade or for patrons of the shop to Promenade?

    If its for patrons, then residents living nearby can take advantage.

    I think it will be unfair for residents there if this cost is going to be part of their maintenance fees though it's beneficial to the business there.
    So how they put this cost in is debatable depending on whose view u stand from.

    Actually Walking is faster than taking shutter bus if u know how to walk. Just walk to the park, turn left you walk thru the hdb carpark all the way straight and u see kovan center. Walk along the shops to get to mrt. If it rains, there is this sheltered walkway from the park to kovan center. Exposure to rain or sun is minimal, two mins or so(from your promenade unit to park sheltered walkway, then from end of sheltered walkway you need to cross there road to center)

    The layout is very good. Squarish, no odd corners/shape. Small it may seems, but efficient. I have seen slightly bigger units but inefficient layout make them look small and cramp.

    guessed it's for patrons, to encourage more shoppers. good to know that there is free shutter. Don't think it's unfair for resident to pay since they benefit from the free shutter as well if not who pay? The shop owners? Both should bear the cost.

    But there were many freehold launched cheaper than this if u take the walking distance to mrt in comparison. i.e. the vue and suites @ paya lebar?

    Personally, i feel given this pricing Milage was a much much better buy. Why didnt u consider that?

    This is actually cheaper than suites@Pl, similar pricing to the vue. nearer to mrt compared to both too. Further more it's mix Dev. At the same time this place not too noisy and far from the heavy traffic.

    if u take launch price vs launch price i think it's pretty similar and + the walk to MRT is to an interchange + mega mall. Yes this mixed development is still attractive!

    Hi Serendipity, thanks so much for your support! Hehe next door as in primo? That's cool!

    I would think the shuttle bus is open to all. The commercial units also have to pay maintenance fee. The number of shops outnumbers the number of residential units there, so I would think that just based on votes itself, the majority, which is the commercial standpoint might just be stronger.

    Hehe sounds good, like not too far from your description. I'm still not very familiar with that area but one day will try your route and see how far from the station.

    Ya the layout seems good cos it's squarish. Easier to utilise the available space to the max.

    Hi price, the main reason is that it's very near to my future home and have no restrictions on the opening/closing hours.

    There are a number of big shops sold but dont know the intended business. I guess they would probably buy a few smaller shops side-by-side, knock through the walls to form a tuition centre. That is allowed and heard that many buyers did that.

    Any restriction on the type of trade??? Otherwise given there are no restrictions to closing hours, can a karaoke pub or china mei mei massage parlor set up shop there too?

    All air-con ledges for level 1 and B1 shops are located on the roof top.
    So residents staying in the penthouses will suffer?

    No restriction on the type of trade. Hehe yes it's possible that a karaoke pub or china mei mei massage parlor sets up shop there. But guess the residents would be very concerned if such things are happening right at their void deck.

    Have you check your mortgage specialist prior to purchasing your commercial unit or you bot it without any loan approval?

    Hi Avant, Congrats on your purchase! Which level did you get?

    We used a 3-year interest lock-in loan package. For commercial bank loans, the interest rates are definitely much higher than home loans.

    Default I bought it without loan apporoval.

    I only looked for bankers after putting option fee. I have just received SAP agreement. Have applied serveral banks, so far DBS gave me an approval for 70% loan for its fixed package.
    Bought under own name.
