Beacon Heights D12 , 999 yr

[Don't be so Kan Chiong]

At this hour u want to go down to beacon heights to queue. don't be so kan chiong, can wait till daytime. i am sure even though the price has increased, they will let an ardent fan of beacon heights like you get a good price. macrithie is designated as a greenbelt so no building development but wait patiently as they might change the plan.

perhaps for the time being if you really like macritchie area so much, you can consider doing a trial by living with the monkeys inside the forest in macritchie and who knows, you might get so used to living with them that you won't ever need to come back to civilisation or be class-conscious again.

No... no longer puzzled, I have been enlightened! Centre is best!

I was actually making my way down to queue outside beacon heights right before I thought about it and realised that the exact centre of Singapore would be somewhere in the water catchment area between MacRitchie and Pierce reservoir (see Singapore Map to confirm for yourself!). High class area too... no HDBs in the vicinity. I'll wait for new projects there then. Hope I can be the first!! Wanna join me?

[civics teacher]

I am glad you have finally found your home in the forest. Go and live with the monkeys and they should enlighten you even further. Do come back to the forum whenever you are free and share with ur your new living environment there. Why bother about artificial plantations in the condominium when you can get the real thing, right? the monkeys will also teach you how to climb trees and pluck fruits from trees so u can be self-sufficient. When you have found a better life out there, just don't forget about urbanites like me and the other forumers.

Can't do that... The tallest trees there are not even half as tall as the towering Beacon Heights! Even on top of them the view can't be as good. How can I miss out on the spectacular views that BH offers?

Also, BH is 'only 5-10 mins to MRT and great amenities'... I have to wait for the govt to build those in the reservoir. Currently, judging by the walking speeds specified, I would take almost 15 mins to walk from the reservoir to the nearest Bishan or future Thomson MRT stations.

Why settle for 2nd best? I am already convinced. BH is the best, I'll go queue later! Don't snatch from me. Give me a chance to stay in BH - Artery of Singapore !!!

[CIVICS TEACHER]

You naughty boy! Go live in Macritchie forest where the monkeys get to play with you. Beacon Heights is for people with normal intellect and class, and not imbeciles. u don't need amenities other than the reservoir and some monkeys to entertain you. as for view, u have the best view of the nature around. why live so high up when you might jump off the balcony one day with ur unstable mind. i think the safest place for you is to live on the ground under any tree. if ur mind is fully underdeveloped and you need to jump into the water to kill urself, at least it will not be as grotesque flying from the #28 and landing on concrete ground...

No no, this is just a ploy to stop me from buying my dream home at BH - the 'Artery of Singapore'!!

I want to stay in the "towering-28 storey" BH, enjoy the pleasant "5-10 mins walk" to the MRT, and make use of the "Great Amenities" in the vicinity.

Also, pray tell, which other condo has BH's "50m lap pool"??? I bet I can't find it anywhere else in Singapore. It's sure THE CLINCHER!!!

[MotherofallCivicsTeacher]

But you are not matured enough to live in Beacon Heights. Take my Civic's teacher's advice and live in MacRitchie forest which was your dream location. With the reservoir so huge, why do u need a 50m lap pool? Staying in the forest is also FOC. I will talk to the ranger to let you live there on long-term permit so no worries. I will do everything I can to help people like you out there who are looking for their perfect home. Based on my assessment, I think BH does not suit you coz the place is not therapeutic enough for you. You need plenty of greenery and monkeys to take the stress of urban life away from you....

You are just saying that so you can buy my BH unit instead... No chance!

Don't worry, I am sure all my BH neighbours will be as 'enlightened' like me. We will be having tea together, patting each other on the back and complimenting ourselves on how smart we are to have bought BH, which is the 'Artery of Singapore', and admire our 'High Class Surroundings' together, before walking '5-10 mins' or taking the '1 min shuttle bus' to the MRT so that we can travel to the Orchard Rd condos to laugh at their lack of foresight in not buying BH, which is so so much closer to the 'Centre of Singapore' then their D9 homes...

[Civics Educator]

You go and fly kite with your kakis and monkeys in MacRitchie forest. nobody welcomes you in Beacon Heights. BH and its surroundings too high class for you, and the basically the condo is too good for you...since you claimed it is so good, i think it is too good for a person like you so you should not be considering BH at all...

Oh, but aren't we the 'pinnacle class' that share the same vision about BH? We deserve to stay in BH - Artery of Singapore.

Heard BH is currently only 30-40% sold. Such fortune for us! Me and my enlightened buddies are preparing to snap up the rest..

Be patient, when BH is completed, let's discuss over a cup of coffee while we admire the 'spectacular view' on the 28th floor (wow, we could be in the clouds at that dizzying height) on how we can work together to bring up the surroundings to an even 'higher class'.

I am sure you have gotten your unit already right? If not let me know and we'll leave one for you tomorrow... but gotta be fast, go queue with us in later k?

[5354]

why BH people are trying so hard to convince people to buy? or are they trying to convince themselves that they had a good buy? if it is a good buy, it will sell by itself.

[Rangoon Boy]

Hi

Haha... continue slamming other areas, while praising BH. Better traffic, less noise, 10 min walk to MRT....blah blah....
The take-up rate is the fairest appraisal. Meanwhile, continue your hard-sell, which I find amusing at times.

Wow. Rangoon/Mergui/Dorset area slumpy??? Even that condo near "banana leg" is more "saleable" than BH.

Regards

i think those negative comments on BH must be posted by those who have bought potong pasir condos. i bet these people do not even know what pristine location is about as they are used to constantly living in noisy and dirty environments. St Michael is an upmarket area with many private apartments and condos if you even bother to check on iproperty.com. Vetro stands at #17 and BH at #28, which are the icons in the area. Those slumpy rangoon rd apartments may better in terms of proximity to town, but do they offer the good quality of life? i doubt it...who the hell wants to live in an indian town. residents staying in st michael would never need to pass by little india to get to town and the area has a certain class of its own. it is near town yet offers the peacefulness and privacy...

No idea but I won't be suprised some of them are actually agents pretending to be satisfied BH buyers. Sales must have been slow.

Quite ridiculous to hear that one of them called Mar Thoma Road the centre of Singapore cos physically it is not. Neither is it that near the central and more vibrant parts of town. I seen that place for years and it is like the nearby Moonstone Lane private enclave across the canalized Kallang River. Both are pretty dead places with many dull and old buildings that have seen better days.

[kal]

No doubt if you look at the Singapore map, BH is in the 'centre' of the map, but wat matters most is the most happening and prestige area is actually more towards the 'south' of Singapore (in the map) rite? It is a bit sala to compare here to district 1,2,9,10 rite? This is nothing to argue about lor, its the fact !!

Well, you can't deny the fact that it is pretty near to town.

Considering Beacon Heights is near town, near MRT, tall development, full condo facilities with city view, etc etc and going at between $800 to $900psf, the price is a far cry from what the people paid for the above apartments which is not even in a condominium. Although Zenith is in a better district than Beacon Heights, but what does the development have to offer its residents in terms of facilities? Isn't it better to pay half the psf and enjoy being in a condo near town instead? It makes a lot more sense for average income condo buyers in this forum to seriously consider Beacon Heights as it does have everything a good condo has to offer. In any case, Zenith is probably almost the same distance to Plaza Singapura as Beacon Heights if you study the map. If you guys still think the south of singapore is the best, then go and spend $2000 or $5000psf on your ideal property there and they are probably in a better location, but it will cost you an arm and a leg just to live in a mickey mouse apartment that cost $1 million to buy (see above caveat). i am just appealing for you guys to be rational. There is more upside potential in cityfringe areas like St Michael than D9, 10 and 11 properties that have already soared to the sky in terms of prices.

No point arguing with me as I am just trying to be rational...

Bh is in the middle of nowhere. Waste of time project.

[geylang supporter]

geylang also near town. 5-10mins to CDB, IR. near to paya lebar mrt. future regional hub. why only strongly promote BH.

[frontosa]

Geylang got good potential consider its good location, if only the red light district is to move away.

[rationalisation]

geylang is indeed a good area in tems of proximity to town, but there will always be a stain when people will always associate it with the red light. Chickens have to make a living too so I understand, but these chickens spoil the entire image of the place and i feel sorry for the residents that have to put up with this nonsense. i personally think the red light should be situated in tuas or some isolated corner of singapore and not in an area so near town....

oops.. china mei mei will not like your suggestion although i think it's worth considering... a chicken hub in jurong...

Lakeshore ppl will be up in arms......

[future teller]

dun worry. after the IRs are up, the mei mei will all flock to marina bay and sentosa.

left the lau kway bu at geylang.

by that time, geylang will start to close down, just like desker and keong saik.

[CHICKEN TONIGHT]

let us don't be mean and chase the lau kway boos in geylang to jurong or telok kurau. They r a part of our heritage and we should preserve it that way.

[RED ALERT]

Red light district will always be at city fringe and if you're familiar with town planning, the city fringe is usually the slums and red light district - same any where in the world. I agree Singapore shouldn't overly-engineer the location of our infamous red light district - that will make us a laughing stock. If it springs up in Geylang, Balestier, Joo Chiat, Katong and Telok Kurau as a continuous and contiguous stretch - we should be proud of it! It means Singaporeans are exciting and fun-loving and enjoys such alternative lifestyle!

[China mei mei]

Please come visit me as often as the dakota condo buyers!

[Lover]

Please come visit me as often as the dakota condo buyers!

Whaha..how come China Mei Mei now in Beacon Heights also? Please go back Dakota.

[China mei mei]

Whaha..how come China Mei Mei now in Beacon Heights also? Please go back Dakota.

Cannot... Dakota no sales. Business very bad. Maybe I move on to another condo in another nearby area with lots of night life... how about... DeRoyale! This condo everything is expensive and overhyped... asking prices are about 30% higher than other condos in the balestier area... so sure got rich ah peks around there

[Unregistered0]

beacon hts is simply a fantastic buy for its price, location and facilities. Thk those chickens prefer east coast as nearer to geylang. Also hookers frm those sleazy pubs in paramount shopping centre like to hang around the condos in that area where there r lots of expats that go 4 their services. Ask how i knw? The girls working in those pubs told me themselves

[St Michael]

I understand from a fren that recently bought a 1+1 unit there that there are only 7 units of the 1+1 left after he bought. Does anyone know if there are anymore 1+1 units? If so, what are the units available? Thanks. Also, what is the take up rate of this project? Is it even 50% sold?

[beacon hts owner]

i bought a studio there n by nw project almost 50% sold b4 public launch. Go 4 the highest units u cn get b4 completely sold out.i am nt sure if they have upped the price but do nt wait too long. I am sure ur fren must have told u why the project is gd so it needs no further elaboratn.
