If you happen to pass by Kallang on your way down from town to Geylang for a sumptuous supper, you will definitely see a lone yet very modern condominium standing just right close to the former Kallang Gasworks site.

Riverine by the park (Kallang)

  • 3-bedroom high floor (above 18 storeys)
  • 1,206 sqft
  • Excellent layout
  • Sea/ Kallang Basin View
  • Brand New

You would also think this location would be prime since it is located quite closely outside the Central Business District fringeand it should be commanding great views because of the calm and serene Kallang River as well as the landscape of our Singapore Indoor Stadium scape. Latest Update on 5th May 10: VERDICT IS OUT It does command a view which you might not get in any other developments. You get exceptional sea, river and city view.

You are absolutely right. Continue reading “The Riverine by the Park – Scenic Views of Kallang Basin and Cityscape”

The official launch of Viva at Novena was on last Friday, where many units were already sold during the preview. Today, Viva is officially 87% sold, with 204 out of 235 snapped up by buyers.

Buyers recognizes the value of the project attributed mostly to its prime locality just right next to United Square. It’s also less congested among the other projects found in the vicinity. There are 3 main selling factors to the project:-

  1. Location
  2. Very functional layout (Good size)
  3. Quality Finishing

What is left after today?

Viva Condominium Launch Frequently Asked Questions

Viva

As with other new launch projects from Knight Frank, I thought it would be nice for a last minute (very unfortunately) would be asked questions about the upcoming Viva relaunch

What’s the discount I’m expecting if I’m buying?

The discounts from the list price is as follow depending on the schema that you take for the purchase:-

  • By Normal Progressive Scheme, you get a 10% off the listed price
  • By Interest Absorption Rate, you get a 8% off the listed price
  • By Deferred Payment Scheme, you get a 7% off the listed price

Finishing? Is it good?

Great! I’ve seen the things that they are throwing in. You’d love the Miele kitchen if you’re a kitchen person (washer and dryer not included though). The fridges are integrated and makes the whole seemed blending.

White marble for your flooring gives a very clean and elegant look; in fact it brightens up the whole apartment.

Very functional layouts too.

When is the Temporary Occupancy Permit going to be issued?

Estimated in June 2013.

What’s the status of the construction?

They’re currently laying the foundation, so be expect for your mortgage to start kicking in at the 10% level as the foundation should be finishing soon.

When is the actual launch?

The actual launch will be on the 8th of August 2009. Co-broke agents are welcomed to liaise with us.

How many units were actually sold?

As of some latest news update, a total of 58 units were snapped up.

What are units sold? And what will be released for tomorrow?

Refer to the elevation chart here (might not be the latest, but keep looking as I’ll try my best to give you the latest). All stacks are released from level 05 to 09, level 14 to 16 and both level 24 and 25.

Is there going to be a side gate? Where is it going to be?

There will be one side gate that opens up directly for you to walk to United Square.

What road will the main entrance be facing?

Your main entrance will be from Suffolk Walk. Thomson Road is a busy road. Besides, it’s a cul-de-sac (no through road), giving some exclusivity to developments along Suffolk Walk.

What is the price going to be like?

We’re expecting a median range of at least $1,500 per square foot for most units.

I’m interested in the Penthouse or the Sky-suites, how come I cannot find the layouts from your brochure?

Contact me and I’ll send it to you separately.

Err where’s the layouts and brochure download?

Do refer to the blog entry for Viva here.

Who should I be contacting to book my units in Viva for priority?

Any of your Knight Frank agents to get into tomorrow’s preview. Or else any of your preferred agents to the main launch on Saturday. We co-broke :-)

If any buyers who wants to get into the preview tomorrow on Friday have no one to bring you in, you may contact me at +65 91253045.

I’ve visited the showflat today and can affirm the finishings are as good if not better than One Devonshire’s. Quality white marble, full Miele Kitchen accessories, Hansgrohe sanitary finishings.

Layouts are good, no odd shapes apart from the balcony which forms its structure shape from the outside, yet not affecting its living functionality.

Meadows @ Peirce Launches This Friday

The wait is finally over. Meadows @ Peirce is launching this coming Friday on the 24th of July.

No no, you don’t have to get a blank cheque to enter the showroom, but it would be best to register your interest with any of the Knight Frank agents (or myself) to visit the showroom to avoid disappointment.

Tomorrow, the preview will be available to staffs of UOL, ex-Meadow Green and business associates to book.

Phase I units have already been noted. To register your interest to view the showroom, contact me (+65 91253045)

Meadows @ Peirce Launch Frequently Ask Questions

I have quite abit of interest registered with me quite surprisingly despite having Meadows@Peirce entry just written last night.

Another Artiste Impression of Meadows@Peirce
Another Artiste Impression of Meadows@Peirce

A few questions which you could be asking if you’re interested in Meadows @ Peirce (tsk tsk. you’re a nature lover)

Who is the appointed marketing agent for Meadows@Peirce?

There are two realty companies involved in this joint marketing campaign, namely ERA and Knight Frank (dum dum dum!)

When is the launch date?

It would be announced tomorrow in a seperated briefing from the developer attended by both joint marketing agents.

Where can I download a copy of the sitemap for Meadows @ Peirce?

Google it! There’s plenty of agents who has uploaded the sitemap. Hmm, I’ll cut your time short, download it directly from here.

Err, the floor plans?

Right here (:

Can I have more details of Meadows@Peirce?

Refer to the blog entry here.

Can we get the units we want right away by pre-booking?

Nay. Until further information is disclosed by the developer UOL tomorrow, both the joint marketing agents will not know what’s going on. BUT! you can contact your friendly agents from Knight Frank (not too sure about ERA procedures) to fill up a pre-booking form and have your friendly hardworking agent ready.

Not sure who to trust? Contact me (+65 9125-3045) and I’ll have my team tailor to your booking needs.

Will this project sell out?

Beats me, but its a pure question of how the market is trending now. As we know, the primary sales market is fiercely climbing, again people who really loves nature and likes the vicinity will understand Meadows@Pierce has its unique nature factors which can’t be offered by a very urban Singapore.

There are only a few places which I could associate nature and Meadows@Peirce is definitely sitting on one.

How much will my favourite or choice unit be priced?

Not till tomorrow do we know the indicative, but I did a little homework and this could be a guideline,

Meadows @ Pierce launching soon. Following the successful launch of the Double Bay Residences (DBR), UOL will be launching another mass market project – Meadows @ Peirce, in 2-3 weeks’ time. According to Knight Frank, the marketing agent for the project, this 479-unit freehold residential development at Upper Thomson Road consists of a refurbished tower block (14 storey) and three 5-storey blocks and will include small-size units to cater for the market demand. Launch price for this project is expected to average around S$900 psf, which is higher than the S$800 psf that we have assumed in our valuation. UOL will also be able to save on the construction cost through the refurbishment of the existing 14-storey tower. We estimate the breakeven price of this project to be ~S$670 psf, which could potentially yield a healthy profit margin of 26% for UOL.

Wait! What’s the Real Name of the Project? Meadows @ Peirce or Meadows @ Pierce!?

Meadows @ Peirce (Peirce Reservoir)

Priority VVIP Preview?

We’ll have to wait till the announcement tomorrow. (Latest Update), Preview for Knight Frank registered buyers is on the 24th of July, but you can book your choice unit as early as 19th of July if you do not need to visit the showflat.

If you love what you saw, or at least saw both the sitemap, the layouts and definitely the descriptions of Peirce@Meadows, i would suggest you to contact your favorite Knight Frank agent or me (+65 9125-3045) for a no obligation discussion.
