8@Woodleigh (D13, 99 years Leasehold, Fraser Centrepoint)

[scsc]

Oh... so only left Tower 6 yet to begin their progress payment.

Maybe won't see T6 starting until T8 is stack till the top...
Well... then maybe T6 start paying Jun next year... hehe

so gd....potentially save 1-2k bank interest

Actually I might think so too because the position of tower 6 is blocking access to both other 2 towers.

[scsc]

if really T6 starts next year, B@W residents will dread it.

sometimes, it is such a dilemma to get a new launch in a bare "potential" land.

u get capital appreciation if more neighborhood new launches BUT gonna trade-off with noise & dust for owner-occupier when the new "kids" start construction....

The when they develop bididari new town opposite how?

that's across the road ma.... steady...
The best scenario is for Woodleigh side to keep its pte enclave, while Bidadari can have EC, DBSS, markets, schools

Even if Woodleigh get new development, i suspect Euro-Asia & Woodleigh park sites... hence 8@W is safe.. hehe

Can see some steel formworks coming up at Tower 6 site from the Guardhouse.

Oops, tell them to stop building T6, build finish the other 2 towers first, I want my interest savings haa haa.

just curious,why do you guys find this project attractive?
site area is very small.
don't seem to have any amenties around.
one great point is MRT very near though.

[sleek]

Most of us had already posted those reasons here earlier!

one man's meat is another man's poison

nvr came across my mind tat the site is small

[sleek]

Think the site is decent for an RCR compared with OCR developments, as found in another thread:-

If just by doing a straight-line allocation of space (sqft) of available land to each unit;
- DBR: 535.6
- Casa Merah: 428.12
- Optima: 357.88
- 8@W: 351.42
- Mi Casa: 447.51
- Caspian: 332.59

[Komo]

Scala about 356.... I suppose still ok lah!

Well at least there are many good food a short drive away..
such as chicken rice, nasi brani & fried chicken, further down towards serangoon at the first junction (roti prata also not bad), free parking somemore,
On Macpherson side there's turtle soup,black chicken soup, prawn noodle, bah chor mee, duck rice....
only minutes away...

1 thing i noted about scala is that it is apt status. Anyway, while a straight line allocation of space is a useful guide it is merely a guide, as there are still other factors to consider (no of levels....).

What i like about 8@W
1. close to mrt (pp or woodleigh) and Nexx in future
2. undergd carpak
3. n-s orientation of most units
4. park or open space just across...(in future there could be amenties there)
5. part of enclave of pte properties.
6. Layout / flr plan of units are preety decent.

What i feel could be better about 8@W (vested oredi how objective u want me to be )
1. surrounded by FH or 999 leasehold properties
2. land space seems a bit small to have 330 units (looking at B@W , only 200+ units)
3. opposite previous cemetry
4. The land the salvation army is occupying is actually a good site.
5. The price

If i'm not wrong, based on the master plan, the land opposite 8@W has been gazetted for residential development. I wonder how this increase in density (with future development) would impact the other upcoming/existing developments.

- Very large area -> lots of residential units can be built -> more & more construction
- strain on existing amenities
- lost of a nice park, greenery and serenity

No vested interest but looking around that area...

[2824]

You are correct and you will note that ard woodliegh there is some commercial element. So end of the day it might turn out to another buangkok (ie HDBs with Foodcourt and a small supermkt).

with future developments on Bidadari plot >> more advanced amenities could be envision to serve the higher population density...

As for greenery, hopefully the authorities can keep small pockets of green plots string along to connect to nearby parks (just like PCN from Kallang to Bishan)

Looking forward to the new Masterplan

[azeoprop]

At least that heritage angsana tree beside woodleigh close will always be there haa haa...

[Komo]

Indeed this whole place is quite interesting... can develop better but probably not so soon. I'd even explored the whole stretch right up to the PUB building compound on the same side. Someday perhaps that PUB may move out. Surely that large piece of land can also be better developed into something else.

In any case if gotten 8@W at 2009 price, already a winner!

the good food I'm referring to are those near 8@W lah...

Other similar RCR projects :-
Clover by the Park - 382.95
Trevista - 254.60

Scala about 356.... I suppose still ok lah!

[Komo]

Trevista is real bad. Went in one round the showroom and feel utterly disgusted. Priced too high. Only one thing is good, near MRT. The rest sub standard.

[2824]

drove past yesterday, think they have started on level 5 for blk 8.

[sleek]

1/3 up for Tower 8!

And progress should pick-up as the floors from 2nd are typical up to 14th floors.
