As posted in www.h88.com.sg on 23 Sep 2009 by John H88.com.sg Condo News The subsale breakdown The subsale breakdown The recent subsale market data published by Savills Singapore revealed some really interesting nuggets of information. We ranked the subsales by gains, by losses and so on and the situation became a whole lot clearer. Come see. We’ve got a nice PDF you can take home with you too! (We’ve taken what we could from the original table in the Business Times and did some fancy Excel work on it. View the original table here .) Most Subsale Gains The Centris at Jurong turned out to be very popular. Next came One Amber near East Coast, Casa Merah at Tanah Merah and The Metropolitan at Redhill. Apparently Casa Merah benefitted from recent sold-out launch of Optima @ Tanah Merah . Most Subsale Losses Montebleu at Balestier took the top spot when it came to losses. Coming in an unwanted second is The Fernhill by Stevens Road. Casa Merah also came in third

The Interlace is one complex condo. Took us some time to figure it out but we've got it done eventually. We've got all the 23 blocks labelled for you, including those that are released for sale, and we've broken down the individual tiers with a 'cool' animation. Come in and see! Map Overlay Image: Google Maps . Note: This is an estimation only. Not to scale. What cannot be seen here is that the project is sitting on elevated land. And note that from the west to the south-east your view is completely unblocked. One will get the green views of Portsdown area, the Hortpark, Gillman Village and Telok Blangah Hill Park. To the east some flatted factories will be in your way. North-views are not too good with the AYE, an small industrial park and AIA Alexan

As posted in www.h88.com.sg on 9 Sep 2009 by Francis H88.com.sg Property Launches The Interlace: details and floorplans The Interlace: details and floorplans We have managed to get our grubby hands on details and some floorplans of The Interlace in District 4 which to no surprise will launch in phases due to the large amount of units. Please keep in mind all these early details are subject to change and might be inaccurate, so take this info with a pinch of salt. Although we do not know the exact breakdown on how many of each unit types there are, we noted that unit sizes buck the current trend of "Mickey Mouse" units. For example, 2 bedroom units are a good size of between 807 and 1346sf. While this means that serious home buyers can finally find a decently sized home, total prices will add up quickly. Below are some details which we have got wind of: Tenure: 99 years wef 11 Feb 2009 Site Area : est 869,320 sqft Plot Ratio: 2.1 Expected TOP: 31 March 2015

Condo News The Interlace: Site Layout and Photos

As posted in www.h88.com.sg on 7 Sep 2009 by John H88.com.sg Condo News The Interlace: Site Layout and Photos The Interlace: Site Layout and Photos We've trawled online and found some hi-res pics of CapitaLand's The Interlace . Looks pretty awesome we must say, though it seems to be one really complex condo - good luck to the future brochure designer! We've managed to find a site layout as well. Guess what facilities we see? Located on the site of the old Gillman Heights Condo , top floors might potentially get a view of the Pasir Panjang container port. (And no, we don't think there's any connection between this design and the aforementioned containers... or is there?) BIG BIG DISCLAIMER: These are obviously architecture renders and definitely NOT the finalized design, so take this with a pinch of salt. Nevertheless it's good fun to speculate. Site Layout No indication of where north is but it's safe to assume that top = north, bottom = sout

Condo Reviews : Trevista

As posted in www.h88.com.sg on 2 Sep 2009 by John H88.com.sg Condo Reviews Condo Review: Trevista Condo Review: Trevista About Trevista The Trevista is a 99-year leasehold, District 12 condo consisting of 590 units in three 39-storey blocks. Developed by NTUC Choice Homes, Trevista has a unit mix of studio, 1+1, 2, 2+1, 3 and 4 BR apartments. Expected to TOP in late 2012, this is Toa Payoh’s first condominium in more than a decade. In fact, Trevista is Toa Payoh’s third condo after Oleander Towers and Trellis Towers. This project comes with ‘full condo facilities’. Notable ones include a tennis court, a 50m lap pool and a rock climbing wall. Parking lots are underground. Unfortunately there are only about 590 lots available so your guests will have to find somewhere else to park. There’s a HDB MSCP right across the street in case they want to pay you a visit. Trevista is without doubt a mass market condo, with 590 units sharing a 50m lap pool and a single tennis court, this place is as
