The MRT is nearer to Balmeg than to Horizon Residence, Parc Imperial or even Viva @ Vista.
Horizon Residence access is via Pasir Panjang Hill sharing with others while Balmeg has its own exclusive access road.
But the 3 bedder of Balmeg is not moving and I suppose the market price is cheaper than Horizon Residences. Just keen to know since its going to TOP very soon.
Where did you get your source from that the MRT entrance is nearer to Balmeg? Care to share?Originally Posted by rattydrama
I have been driving pass the area at least once a week and I thought the construction, hence the entrance is nearer to haw par villa?
TIA
Horizon Risedence has a back door facing Pasir Panjang Road, so it is as close as The Peak to the MRT. Parc Imperial is just opposite it. So these 3 projects are equally close to MRT. (Viva Vista and Maylea are slight far).Originally Posted by rattydrama
The price difference is mainly due to timing of launch. The Peak was launched during financial crisis. It was $900+ psf. I thought it was crazy price because at that time, I could get $700+ psf in that area. Parc Imperial was launch just when the price started to bounce. The price was $1200 psf due to its MM size. Horizon was launched during The Vision launch period. The price was $1400 psf. (And The Peak re-sale then increased to $1300 psf).
Timing is the main reason for these closely located projects to have the price difference.
Thanks,
Richard
among the 3 balmeg will be my choice projectOriginally Posted by richwang
the fact that it has the hill all to itself is already 1 up ... the land is also bigger ..
Horizon shares the hill with 6 other condos and landed house ...the road up is pretty jam on weekend when the church goers park by the side ..
maybe the size and hence the overall quantum also matters? balmeg has bigger units, hence it could affect the psf on the downside slightly.

while we have the 'privilege' of sun ..and yet we cannot make use of it .. how ironic
the irony is govt want to make money from us yet act to the whole world that singapore is a green country

The good news is Singapore is also changing. We now have buildings fully covered with solar cells on the top. The main chanllenge is the rain. It shortens the solar cell life span. So we need to invent something to catch both the rain and the sun heat. Maybe we need a 5th university to do that. (It should be located in the North?)

If you are considering for own stay. Forget about the 2 bedders in The Peak. There are only 2 rows: 1 facing West with afternoon sun. Another facing West Coast High Way. You can hear the road traffic very clearly. None facing swiming pool.Originally Posted by devilplate
Thaniks,
Richard
I don't work for Far East, and generally don't like their prices. But for own stay, I prefer Horizon over The Peak.Originally Posted by proud owner
1) I don't drive. So jam is not a problem for me.
2) The wash room in The Peak is TOO big (2 sinks in each wash room). That's good for real resorts because you might wake up with your partener at the same time and rushing to use it. But for long term family stay, I don't wake up at the same time as my wife.
I prefer to use that space for bigger room, so I can put a desk for reading (or a dressing desk for wife).
Thanks,
Richard
I dont have any internal source, I just look at the map and the map does shows that Balmeg is nearer to Haw Par Villa MRT. I think there should be a underpass at Haw Par Villa so it is safe without the need to cross the road.

and balemg is on high ground so going in and out is smooth. Besides, next to balmeg is a stretch of matured trees so should be quite breezing. One minus point for horizon hill is that the access road is deep in and is along the main pasir panjang road. Pasir Panjang hill itself is already very crowded right now.

for solar energy, one big hinderance is our Singapore sky is cloudy so could be a set back for solar energy conservation.
tats why nuclear energy is more appealing now.
to each its own. I prefer bigger wash room cos you won hit yourself against the wall every time you take a bath. And got space for magazine racks.

maybe another 150m from the main entrance of balmeg but its on elevated ground so not suitable for old folks with legs cracking.

I've noticed some of you have access to the unit number and the transacted prices. Do you have the history of the transactions. It will be interesting to see the history of
#02-04
I bet it has changed hands for something like 5 times and the agent is making a lot of money.
Thanks,

Apart the map you have is a driving map - not to scale, just to show the directions. I don't drive, so I have the freedom to climb up the overhead bridge of West Coast HighWay, and walk around.Originally Posted by rattydrama
There are at least 2 exits: one next to YES center (that might be the actual train station). Another is at the back of Parc Imperial, so it is very close to The Peak.
They are now covered, but the construction site was huge. So I suspect there might be shops under the ground. ... or it can be an interchange for future. I would guess Science Park 2 juction can be the station for future extension. But that will be at least 10 years later.
Thanks,

Anyone owning units in this project? When will it be TOP?
It is under defer payment, so I would expect a few owners don't mind to sell it at a good profit when it is TOP.
Thanks,
Richard
I read that the TOP now has been delayed to 2Q2011. Yes this is a deferred payment project but I think most bought from self stay. Potential buyer may not have any interest since the asking price is pretty high due to the size of the unit.
