Well, single doesn't mean you can have no hobbies right? I always think singles would be more carefree and spend money with impunity because there's no one else to inherit the wealth. Single doesn't mean one has to live a spartan lifestyle. Singles are the big spenders nowadays - esp the high flying bachelor and bacherlorette - they are the ones who will start taking up hobbies, buy piano, buy guitar, buy expensive bike, buy designer bags, do trialathon, take up wakeboarding, collect paintings, collect wine etc. A house that is a size of a bedroom will not be sufficient to accomodate such a lifestyle. And what is money for? It's to buy the experiences and things that you can enjoy in life. And if one has to cut back on such experiences because one lives in a 300sqft dogbox, then that is sad.
At least the married folks can "comfort" themselves by saying their sacrificing for their children. But for singles, really, the world is your oyster and it would be a waste to let one's life experiences be crippled by a 300 sqft doghouse.

Wow....so i guess the market is quite selective. Not all new launches can do so good these days.
just on THAT area .. it is better than those condos in Balestier ..Originally Posted by azeoprop
also better than those facing PIE ..
so its better in that sense i guess ...
and 368 sounds good ..are most buyers Cantonese ?
120 out of 157 units sold in one day can only mean that the developer has severely mispriced the project, like this one launched 21 years ago.Originally Posted by kane
Sure or not! When I was there around 6 pm, still many 3 & 4 bedders not released yet.Originally Posted by kane
Saw the showflat for the 4-bedder. Master bedroom rather small. No walk-in wardrobe somemore. 3-bedder & below no bath-tub. Dun find the layout superior to Cube 8. The curvy part of the bedroom windows made them look smaller. Furnishings about similar to Cube 8 I think.Originally Posted by proud owner
big surprise...i tot their pricing oredi quite high. still got so many cash rich buyers! 3bedder 1.7mil each...powerOriginally Posted by kane
good for u... always check it out yourself... trust no one.Originally Posted by wesing
This is the best located among Arte, Vista Residences, & Cube 8 nearby. Of course, $1300-1500 psf sure mostly gone for smaller units. Let's see how the bigger units perform.

What I was told when I was there was that cuz of big demand, the 2 bdrms were released ahead of schedule, and may be at future release prices. "May be" cuz the agent not sure, and I didn't press her to go find out. The others which were not supposed to have been released yet, apparently the dev quite flexible, can ask to release, but again may incur "future release pricing". This future price is apparently roughly 3% up. E.g. 3bdrm floors 30, 31 and 33 sold, 34 not yet released, but "can discuss" haha. So I guess the phase 1 thing is correct, but all available is correct also.Originally Posted by devilplate
As for Dmira, I've heard also that a crematoriam is nearby, with another temple that houses the ashes. That would probably put some ppl off.
you show more money, they show you the option that they've stashed away for next week.Originally Posted by jencrs
Wah, 80% sold in 1 day? Think they had under-priced 368 Thomson liao. Typically it should take 2 months to sell 50% and 6 months to sell 100% if pricing is appropriate.

368 Thomson
SINGAPORE : City Developments Limited (CDL) has sold about 80 per cent of the launched units at 368 Thomson, its latest freehold residential development at the former Concorde Mansions site along Thomson Road.
Private previews for former owners of Concorde Residences, Balestier Court, Bright Building, and directors and staff of CDL, started on Thursday, while the public preview began on Friday.
CDL said 120 units of the 36-storey freehold development comprising 157 units were released in Phase 1.
Going at an average price of S$1,350 per square foot, the apartments range from S$918,000 for the 689 square foot one+study units to S$4.4 million for the 3,391 square foot 5-bedroom penthouses.
Singaporeans made up the majority of buyers, with Permanent Residents and foreigners mainly from Malaysia, Indonesia, China and Hong Kong accounting for 25 per cent.
"With its prime District 11 location, freehold status and attractive pricing, 368 Thomson represents an excellent investment opportunity and also good rental potential," said CDL's group general manager, Mr Chia Ngiang Hong.
368 Thomson has a sky terrace on Level 3, with therm jet pools, a 25-metre main pool and a gymnasium. It also has a Club House, family barbeque and Children's Aqua Treat areas.
CDL said it will release more units progressively to cater to the demand.

Another thing to add, other than the 4 bdrms which have private lifts, the rest of the development is serviced by only 2 lifts. I dunno, is that an ok ratio?
i think if you have 4 units per floor serviced by 2 lifts that should be fine. how many units do they have per floor?Originally Posted by jencrs
yup it's 4 per floor, with 35 stories, that's 140 units with 2 lifts. Is that pretty average?Originally Posted by kane
high rise condo always got lift related problems. happy waitingOriginally Posted by jencrs
