Reflections at Keppel Bay (D4, 99 Years, Keppel Land)

[singaporecondo99]

Keppel Island - Plot 1 to 6 is part of the master plan of South Waterfront City announced by govt. It is all part of the master plan to link HabourFront - Keppel Station - Marina Bay stations to expand the CBD fringe to form the south waterfront belt.

Once the terminals from tanjong pagar and palau brani start shifting and clearing, the south actually has tremendous potential with huge land facing the sea directly.

Those staying near telok blangah area, hold on to your HDBs !

Telok Blangah Estate is at the other side (non sea facing) of Mt. Faber with the exception of Telok Blangah Heights. Some of the flats are approching 40 years in a few years' time. By 2030, they will be 50+ so chances of SERS very high?

Not forgetting HDBs at Spottiswode, Cantonment, Tanjong Pagar and even Bukit Purmei will also benefit from the formation of South Waterfront Belt. The land left behind by the container terminals will most likely be used for commercial and private residential areas.

Yes! The strategically located southern coast, where modern Singapore is born, is rich in history and definitely a place to watch out for.

Coming home via yacht anybody?

[babyt]

i find Reflection very ugly. too industrialised and pointy. like some robotic insect feet/fang sticking out.

Just received an SMS, it mentioned that there is up to 29% discount for this project.

A sign that big expensive units(hopefully 2 bedder also have 29% discount ) are not moving and need a boost, or feeling the pressure from capitalland big discount, so have to follow suit to move their own units?


Seems like cash is really king soon!

[DC33_2008]

Do they provide the indicative units? Not sure if it is just a gimmick.

Never call the agent as I believe are for bigger units. Even 2bedder, also out of reach.

[singaporecondo99]

2 bedders, including those facing non sea facing, already sold out long ago in 2007.

I think the developer left big units - 4 rooms & penthouse. 6-19 million ?

[starrynight]

Was in the vicinity last night and today. The most expensive villa block with the units facing the sea appear totally unoccupied. For the tower blocks it looks like only 30% of the units have their lights on on any given evening.

I still think it looks very nice

Yes, fully agree. Can be made into postcards for their advertisement!

[DC33_2008]

Coralis will give Reflection a boost if they priced at $2500psf?

[hanafi_d2000]

I think around 1800 psf?

Coral room layout looks rather good

26 winners for first BCA Universal Design Mark Award
Posted on May 8, 2013 by admin
A total of 26 winners have clinched the first BCA Universal Design Mark Award by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA).

Among them, the Platinum winners of the Award are Reflections at Keppel Bay, a private residential development, and education institution United World College of South East Asia (East Campus).

Newly introduced in October last year, the BCA Universal Design Mark Award is a voluntary certification scheme that encourages building owners, developers and architects to include or retrofit their buildings and developments with Universal Design features.

The award is part of BCA’s effort in developing a City of All Ages which allows people of all ages and abilities to live, work, learn and play.

Private residential development, Reflections at Keppel Bay, was given the highest accolade for the developer and architect’s outstanding provision of user-friendly features.

BCA says the development stands out not only for its iconic architectural presence, but also for its outstanding user-friendly and Universal Design features.

Although the design of Reflections at Keppel Bay was developed based on the 2002 edition of BCA’s Code on Accessibility, its Platinum status recognises the extra efforts by its developers and architects in creating a development that is inclusive and ahead of its time.

With its lush landscaping, spacious resting areas and leisure pools as well as elder and family-friendly features, Reflections at Keppel Bay is a comfortable and relaxing environment that allows people of all ages and abilities to enjoy.

To help its residents and visitors find their way, the architect used a creative design for its signs, which are in the form of a cube that makes it easy for users to find their way around the development.

For each residential block, there is a specially designed door for wheelchair users such that they need only minimum effort to move in and out without any assistance.

The United World College of South East Asia (East Campus) was the Gold winner of last year’s Universal Design Award.

BCA says its conferment of Platinum status this year is a clear recognition of how its developer and architects have gone further ahead and improved significantly the level of user-friendliness of the campus.

The college campus’ elevated landscape connects the four academic blocks to other facilities such as the main plaza, playing field, rest and discussion areas.

With its large signboards, and creative use of cultural motifs and colours for each block, students and visitors to the college can find their way around easily.

The developer and architect’s dedication to Universal Design also extends to details such as the careful separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic for students of different ages around the college grounds and a nursing or lactation room for its staff.

Besides the two Platinum-certified winners, Changi Airport Terminal 1, JCube, Mapletree Business City and Pasir Ris Sports and Recreation Centre were also given BCA Universal Design Mark GoldPlus certifications.

The BCA Awards ceremony will be held on May 16 at the Resorts World Sentosa.

KepLand worries over 200 unsold units at Reflections

They're facing 'great difficulty' selling them.
According to CIMB, around 200 units of Keppel Land's Reflections remain unsold. Agents shared that they had faced great difficulty in renting out the units at Reflections last year (completed in 2012), given the tide of supply in the area.

Here's more:
Many owners had slashed rents to as low as S$4psf (implying 2.4% yields at current levels). This has since stabilised to S$5psf. At current rents,
implied gross yields for Corals are a low 3.2%. Agents continue to point to low deposit rates as a pitch for the relative attraction of its rental yields.
Not surprisingly, most buyers at the Corals went for the smaller 1-2 bedders. Take-up for 3-bedders and above priced at S$2.7m-10m per unit was lower. Investors made up the bulk of the initial take-up, with many concurrently owning units at Caribbean and Reflections.

According to the agents, many units sold at Reflections are currently vacant.
Many owners still have strong holding power, which may explain why physical prices have remained firm.

[bargain hunter]

there are some 4 bedders asking for $1688psf. 26xx sq ft, at least 2 are low floor stack 88. interested buyers can check it out. quantum is still large though. remember to bargain lower.

[Heng]

Transactions still at same psf after TOP at end of 2011 ....still got units transacted at about $1,5xx,000

Seems that Reflections does not give the usual returns expected after TOP

That is why they need to reflect.
