Espada (D9, Freehold, Novelty Orchard Development Pte Ltd)

[devilplate]

Problem with Boutiq is

1) Low rise
2) Don't like the whole panel of cabinets (the kitchen) flanking the entire stretch of living/dining area. Makes it look like a shop/store
3) Can't put a full (4-seater) dining table at the dining area as the table cannot be push all the way to the wall. Unless convert the living to the dining and vice-versa which i find is also not a good idea

Just my opinion...no offence to those who like Boutiq...

actually for studios/1bedder....can make do without dining table or just a mini 2 seater dining table will do....

i will not put in a dining table..most impt is the size of the living hall....can throw in a nice coffee table to act as a dining table as well.....ur targeted renter is single or at most couple tat usually dun cook one

ya...saw the boutiq layout....strange to have the kitchen cabinet all the way to living room....can ask the developer dun build so long anot? hehe

BTW,hows the finishing by Novelty Group?Anybody seen LUMA?

[dtrax]

LUMA shwrm not bad all the high end stuff un shwrms.. actually finishing not sure though

[devilplate]

novelty is the best mm developer....their furnishing always vy high end and modern

Novelty is the best mm dev and deliver quality finishing. Luma kitchen cabinet is italian imported. No doubt on novelty dev. If got $ go for luma 1 bedder. is an icon dev on rv groove rd. Very unique.

Worst mm dev is the one who dev suites 123, amber suite. Can't rem the name but the boss is Huttons director also.

Go check out suites amber kitchen and bathroom. Got a nice address but quality sucks.

Novelty also dev lucida and primo residence. Except for iridium whom my fren stayed received very bad comments abt leaking carpark and pool otherwise interior finishing very good.

My preference
1. Espada
2. Illumnaire
3. Devon residences

Boutiq is over priced I think

From the brochure of espada that i read, Novelty indeed provide quality furnishings, with all the high-end brands.

The signboard says completion date is Oct 2012.

Possible since still got about 10 storeys more?

[bargain hunter]

Thought completion date indicated on the signboard means TOP date? No?

[bargain hunter]

novelty ever missed their TOP date before. for iridium.

Thought completion date indicated on the signboard means TOP date? No?

[bargain hunter]

anyway, missing TOP date has no legal implications, only when they miss the LEGAL COMPLETION DATE then buyer can sue them.

[Jonathan0503]

Finally, going to TOP, around end May...

[richie$$$]

rent cheaper for bigger unit.

this project a distance to walk from MRT

dtrax should be experienced enough to know that when PG quote $3,500, it means $3,200 can get it liao!

You want Office Boy go negotiate one rental to see if can get it at $3,000 ?

But u cannot anyhow scream ice-cream coz unit too small, next door can hear exactly which flavor u screamed!

Can't confirm the rental rate yet. But many agents have approached me that they have ready tenants and the rental is around $4k to $4.2k for the 452sf.

[mcmlxxvi]

If waterbank newly top one bedder can get 3.2k to 3.5k depending on furnishing, why should D9 mm ask for anything less than 4k.

Congrats bro Jonathan.
