Just got back from the showflat. No marble. Everything nice is ID. the worst part is that it is in the middle of an HDB sea. going to anson road requires you to take a U turn on Farrer at buket timah.
wife asked me to give it a miss. the fact that it is so expensive (Everything is above 1500psf) did not help.
it will not be outshone by the surrounding buildings, because it is surrounded by ugly HDB, except ugly tulip garden.Originally Posted by bargain hunter
so how are the sales like?
this is still preview or opened to public already?

it is far cry from the launch of duchess residences. a lot of agents, but not many buyers or gawkers (including me and wife). the parking lot was not even half filled. 82 out of 200 sold at last count.
hmmm...price list sent by agents shows a good number of units at below 1500psf, lowest about 147x. So these are all "snapped up"?Originally Posted by stalingrad
if you go north from there, there is a long stretch of HDB blocks, all the way to bukit timah.Originally Posted by bargain hunter
some are, but many are not. many units facing farrer are still available. go snap them up if you want. my wife told me to not even consider it.Originally Posted by valkri
oh, that's so encouraging. 82 includes the 48 sold to ex-owners? oh well, 1600+ to go.

I think the long stretch of HDB is the biggest turnoff. and that area doesn't smell "exclusive" to me.
that i m aware. was trying to compare it with condos south of it. iconic no doubt but whether the facade will look nice when completed is another thing. Rivergate sure looks very different from the brochure.

agents will tell u otherwise. neighbours with GCB owners to your west will be what they say.

Sorry, I don't think this place which is the edge of D10 is close to town. See the map and you would be surprised how much nearer is D5.

Like that still consider "high-end"? 11 units per floor is like machiam 3 room flat corridor. at least 3 room flat corridor face outside and airy. This one might be just face opposite door in a stale corridor.

so damn bad sales response??? due to heavy rain?Originally Posted by stalingrad
tot some say heavy balloting expected...i tot at least 150units sold by now
My agent told me a moment ago that 150 units are sold.
no rain. sunny like hell.Originally Posted by devilplate
I agree with Wild Falcon that is not conveniently located.to take a u turn you need to go all the way to bukit timah. It is definitely not closer to town than clementi.
my wife works at Anson road, and she said it would take longer to travel to work from d'leedon than from clementi.
no balloting. you can take any unit that you want.
sounds more like itOriginally Posted by DC33_2008
i tot recession coming
It depends on the definition of town.Originally Posted by stalingrad
so they sold 68 units in three hours?Originally Posted by DC33_2008
Now all moving out from town, rich getting near to town to do what?
maybe when u were there the 68 have not signed yet so not counted.

just for this point: u need to use the empress road exit. the showflat is at leedon side. there is a king's road side.Originally Posted by stalingrad
"a sea of HDBs" .. ok lah.. a grand total of 8 blocks.... there is one right at footstep though
that is right, right next to stack 11, which I was intereted in.Originally Posted by amk
thanks for the tip about the empress road exit. but would that road be large enough when the project TOPs? it is really a narrow winding road. I drove on that road a few times when going to church. can't imagine it becoming the main exit way for such a big project.
Just had a double confirmation from agent: 150plus unit sold. Price will increase this weekend.
