**kane** · 03-10-12, 00:51

what are the sizes?

**price** · 03-10-12, 00:52

ECs are going crazy on facilities. first Heron with pool and bbq pit in unit and now 100m pool

**kane** · 03-10-12, 00:54

finding novel ways to get their target market to pay up.

**phantom_opera** · 03-10-12, 07:18

Will ask friends to consider this one

**kane** · 03-10-12, 09:16

The architecture and landcaping looks pretty interesting.

Agreed, those that are eligible should consider this as this is easily one of the better EC sites in the East. With Heron bay abt 720psf, this one is about 800 is a good deal?

yes, quickly, don't hold cash, something evil is brewing

**bakasa2002** · 03-10-12, 18:38

phantom ... You pictures & quotes are really good!

Btw, on a more serious note, what do we know about the SingXpress Land as a developer? Are they are new entrant as a developer? I can't help but remember they mess up with layout and pricing of their DBSS Pasir Ris One.

I actually thought SL was horrid with Centrale 8 but SingXpress went one up on SL with PR1. For those gunning for this Tampines EC, I am hoping they don't mess up the 2nd time.

**kane** · 07-11-12, 22:50

EC near town centre is good liao. RCR OCR not much diff. if i was a newly wed, I would definitely go for these rather than those bird don't lay eggs EC.

Maybe this will smash the Heron Bay 1.77mil record consider psf in Tamp is already higher than Serangoon area.

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!

Wah, anyone know the land price??? psf ppr???

**chestnut** · 08-11-12, 11:48

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

**kane** · 08-11-12, 12:09

EC now $800+psf?? So who wants another increase in the income ceiling for EC?

**rymccondo77** · 08-11-12, 12:27

(1) The sizes of the Dual Key Units are smaller than those of the earlier batches of ECs. I personally think a 103 sqm 3-room Dual Key (the non PES type) is too small - should at least be 110 sqm or more.

Maybe with the higher psf, they have made these units smaller and more affordable.

(2) Doubt the Govt will increase the income ceiling for EC so soon (I could be wrong!)

And would the Govt start limiting the size of the EC units ???

Yeap, before this Trilliant already doing about $800psf, so I won't be surprised if it's the same for this.

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.
