Hello everyone, I went to view PO today.
It's really a unique dev with all its features and I was really tempted to buy it. Pricing was so-so only. I won't go as far as to say that the price is cheap, a 2br was offered to me at about $978psf (5th floor, stack would face PI)...
In the end I decided against PO and went for a 2br at PI instead. One of the main reasons was because of the maintenance fee. I doubt I'm going to use many of the facilities offered, rock wall etc... Probably end up using only the tennis court, pool and gym. Despite the track, I would rather run around the neighborhood (personal preference). So paying close to $350 a month didn't really add up.
Another reason was due to price, at PI, my apartment was about $817psf. Granted, it's a unit that is beside FP, low floor and arguably near the TPE (though I feel the distance is decent considering there is a line of trees + a tennis court between the block and the expressway - then again, I could be justifying my purchase)... I feel the substantial price difference was worth the slightly lesser privacy and a bit of expressway noise.
Just my humble opinion on why I didn't choose PO. I won't take anything away from PO, great concept, less crowded, nearer to the bus stop on the changi side... But just not for me (:
Cheers.
Congrats! btw, what is the cheapest 2 bedder at palm isles? Any more of those 785sqft ones available?Originally Posted by lbb
Thanks! Ah, those were sold out.Originally Posted by azeoprop
One thing about PI is that the first few blocks are labelled as 'condo' and the ones further inside the dev are labelled as 'suites'. No idea why, even the agent couldn't explain it to me. The 785sf ones were in the 'condo' section.
For 2br, only left the suites of 807sf or 947sf. I think the next cheapest one was close to $766k (807sf).

any idea on the construction development status of Parc Olympia?
no news yet, but the first 10% should be soonOriginally Posted by Applefans
Any one here bought PO?
I bought a 2br when it was launched!!Originally Posted by Jingjing14
i wonder if anyone has any updates on the construction??
I read there is a new bus no 4 which ply the area along Flora Road now... so we do not have to depend on the private buses or the shuttle bus, another option is always good!!!
anyone else has bought PO?? lets form a committee too!!
hahahha
I got a 3 bedder here..
with JLB, Flora drive, and CDL plots, Pasir ris is gonna be so packed! MRT will be madhouse
Thats why lets hope that the private buses that connects to CBD is still available.. at least its a good alternative!
lets hope the TOP will arrive sooner like in 2014~!!!
2 bc here, bought on preview day
Wonder if there will be any delay with the recent news on insufficient labour...
Keep fingers crossed.
I got mine on preview evening too... but my choice unit got snapped up... so sad... have to make do with the 3rd choice... it was a mad rush then...Originally Posted by terrynfs
