City Life@Tampines EC by SingXpress Land

[focus]

OK, found it. 373 psf ppr. For EC, anyone know if there is a max they can mark-up?

For ECs,
the penthouses are usually priced at $550-$650psf. But most first timers and 1st round one will get it at $550-600.

[chestnut]

Indicative is 800-820psf for 3br, shd be about 900k for a 3br. [from agent]

oh, btw you not sua koo leh ... just over-qualify to apply for one. Lolx!

Oh, OK, thanks.. Can get my kid in future to consider mah. Actually, quite worth it leh. So near MRT. Can go for those big ones, 2K sq ft about 1.3 mil. Value for money. That is if what focus say is correct, approx 600 psf.

Dunno abt Citylife..
but Trilliant next door has sold all their ECs at..
1) 1,970 600 1,181,000
2) 2,465 559 1,378,000
3) 2,121 561 1,190,000


Examples only.. but definitely all sold under $650psf, with majority sold under $600.


But this one is about luck.. coz 1st round is only for 1st timers and then it's first come first serve..
So most people already queueing up.


The reason it is priced cheaper in psf than the regular units is because of the Roof terraces.. So, only for those who liked open spaces .

[chestnut]

Wah, cheap man.... Especially the 2121 sq ft. The only problem with roof terrace for such project is cannot do covered trellis.
Value for money.

wait for 13 years (3 years contraction + 5 years MOP + 5 years privalization), then buy from open market at 1.25mil

No way. Look at Nuovo, Bishan Loft. Compare their launch price vs current price.

I think Singaporean can buy once 5 year from MOP. Only foreigners can buy after 10 years from MOP. See, I know something about EC leh....

better qualify :
Your theory is correct is there is a market correction along the way.... Hahaha... This forum dangerous - people will quote you one.... So better cover backside.

[price]

I think there is no max they can mark up but it's more of 12k income ceiling that they need to price into consideration. If they priced it too high or get the unit mix, sizes wrong, they will be stuck with the stock for a while.

Ironically, that is what is happening to this developer's DBSS - Pasir Ris ONE. It is only 30% sold despite launching for more than 1/2 a year, cos imo they screw up with the layout and pricing.

Pasir ris One is quite suay. Sea Esta and Ripple Bay were launched so cheap. Watercolours EC was also competitively priced. Not worth it to get a DBSS in pasir ris

Ya, you are right. Pink IC can pick up at 5th yr.

Yeap, the developer's inexperience spoke volume in their pricing and if you study the layout carefully, the bedrooms are really tiny. That's the last think you want in a flat .... albeit a DBSS one.

is this very near MRT? from the map it doesnt look that near.

my bad, i was comparing it to the existing Tampines mrt.

[sleeping lamb]

Its not near to the mrt stn. Trilliant is aldy quite far and this is further. The location of centrale 8 is the best amongst all the developments in that plot of land.

[East Lover]

Ya, you are right. Pink IC can pick up at 5th yr.

if you pick up at 5th yr, do you have to give up your existing HDB flat?

[ikan bilis]

think no need to give up current flat... single below 35yrs can buy EC after 5yrs MOP,... is like hdb treating it as private, except foreigner cannot buy it until 10yrs over....

approx. 10mins walk from EC to the mall from the new Tampines Concourse road.

But what is exciting is the empty land near the new MRT.
If FEO bids for it.. woohooo.. huat liao..

But but... no GLS yet.

[bakasa2002]

yeap, small fish bro is right, you need not give up your hdb and singles can buy as pte condo regardless of age. Only restriction is on foreigner.

It is actually nearer to the Tampines DTL station than the EW line Tampines station but I suspected it will be linked up via underground as it is gonna be interchange station.

Rough estimate using onemap is about 400m to Tampines DTL station.

If they built a integrated interchange/mall, both Trilliant and Citylife buyers will be sitting on a goldmine but I reckon Tampines interchange is still relatively young.

[radha08]

Wow-lah... look at that 5bdr penthouse.... shiok arh!!...

for multi-generations, buy this better than FV lah.... also nearer to MRT station,... where is ywt & radha hur ??...

if pink ic buy after 5 year are u consider buying ec or pc.......i.e if you still own a hdb flat can you buy a 5year old EC and NOT sell your hdb

[CondoSeeker2012]

The east side is a park dont get why developer dont open windows on that side of the building... what a pity!

From the floor plans, only east side window i can see is one at the master bedroom toilet...

[bakasa2002]
