If launch at 900psf...we should just walk across and buy Calrose instead...

[yokoosi]

at least 900psf

Just contacted NK Agent, price from $850 to $900. Assuming larger unit price starts from $850psf.

Nice for home stay, quite a serene environment.

Other nearby place also serene is Clover By the Park at Bishan, next to Bishan park and future Kallang river makeover. But that is 99 years lease. Good units can get at 850 psf.

Saw the layout and floor plan. Not to my liking. Private lift serve 2 units per floor (opposite facing door) to all except one stack. Lots of west sun.

The Good:
No back to back unit like most condo. So all unit will have good sunlight. Bright in all area.
Reasonable size balcony.
Good size Master Bedoom.

The Not So Good:
Limited NS facing unit. These units near BBQ pit, so expect some charcoal smell. None facing the pool.
Except for the tower block, all other units are too low to get the reservior view.
Some 3 & 4 room units will get one very small bedroom. Some of these small bedroom don't even have wardrobe.
Tower block has the "OLD DESIGN" feel.
West sun to most units, either the balcony/master room or the other 2 bedrooms.
Kitchen is right in the middle between Living Hall/master bedroom and bedroom 1&2.
Price average $900 psf.

Please note that I'm no expert and above are just my personal view.

Kitchen right in the middle is very bad fengshui ... sure or not?

I concur on the point on the "Old tower" feel.

Why should we pay $900 psf, to get to see an old building structure??

I think it is an eye sore. My 2 cents worth.

I have seen the floor plans too. it seems that they split the old apt units in the tower block into 1 studio & 1 3BR unit for each old apt. so all in there'll be 8 units on each floor??? worse than an HDB point block??

however those are good for those with old folks who want to stay on their own.....the old folks can stay next door & everyone can have their own privacy.....

What is the reason for the developer for choosing to Refurbish the existing tower, instead of tearing it down?

no approval granted for building anything > 5 storeys high but they are allowed to refurbish the existing tower. if they tear it down, they cannot build higher than 5 storeys. tink it's smtg to do with the zoning guidelines etc etc. me only layman so don't know what are the right terms....

For a reasonable price <800psf, this one should appeal to people who love nature and quiet environments.

But I thought the architects / designers seem to fail to inject creativity into the facade and rendering. The tower block looks very HDB to me. And the landscaping is really very "no frills" look.

[joyride]

1. Save cost - the tower and structure is already there
2. Provide scenery for those who wants it. Only tall building around the area

[azeoprop]

Was looking forward to this project, waited for a very long time....but the product they give is very disappointing....pay so much for a "HDB upgrading" block....might as well sell me the unit at the tower block now at 500psf and i do my own rennovation....

[magdalene]

How did you guys get the floor plan? I am interested but this agent said cannot release floor plan due to 'confidentiality'.. but yet ask for a cheque for booking! How can I give a cheque without seeing the floor plan and orientation?

It is my understanding that Knight Frank is one of the appointed agency for this project and their agents have the layout and floor plans. They don't allow me to make any copy for "confidentiallity" but showing to me is not a problem. See the link for the layout, no floor plan here though.

me too. very disappointed.
this pricing is so much worse than the nearby projects like Calrose
they even have the cheek to say "only $900psf"

Meadows@Pierce

Thanks

I think the positive showing in the recent new home sales and the stock market would mean that this one is not going to be cheap...definitely more than 800psf. Launch price for Calrose was 580psf few years back and the highest it went was above 1000psf....so now Meadows is priced at the higher end....

I will wait...no hurry...price will surely soften...

[Wee Teck]

pre-booking begins this sun 19th July at 2pm -6pm.

Call me for registration and more info.

[Regulators]

u can wait long long. these days developers are all blood suckers. i think better off buying old projects....

[kale]

I do agree with u..... old projects will be more value for $$ as compare to blood-sucking new launches
