Wifey was in the mood yesterday, so we went to look see look see ...
All of the 1-bedders (~600 sq ft) & most of the 2-bedders (~900 sq ft) were all snapped up ... predictably by small-time investors who is banking on the expected hustle & bustle from the 4th university popping up in the midst of Changi Buisness Park.
The remaining 3-bedders (~1300 sq ft) & 4-bedders (~1500 sq ft) were rather disappointing:
1) rooms were so small, the showflats actually "cheat" by inserting the mattresses into the bay windows but in reality, you can't do that
2) master-bedroom is such that the bed faces the entrance to the bathroom ... even if rotated 90deg, the bed will face a window ... wonder where & how to place my LCD TV in the master-bedroom
3) finishing of these bigger units were of a more classical theme, compared to the smaller units ... as if only the older folks have the money to buy the bigger units
Anyways, their average price was $650 psf ... meaning the 4-bedders were all in excess of $1m.
If anything, their penthouses did leave a lasting impression on me ... with a built-up area of 2982 sq ft (their smallest penthouse), split into:
1) a lower level of 1 gigantic master-bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe of reasonable size & an attached bathroom, 1 bedroom with an attached bahroom & 2 other bedrooms with common bathroom, plus a roof terrace (as big as the master-bedroom itself) leading out from the living area
2) an upper level of a roof terrace (half as big as the master-bedroom itself) with a big jacuzzi ... plus a most panoramic view in all of Simei
However, in excess of $1.75m for a 99 year project?
No wonder they were willing to give me another 2% discount (that's more than $35k) just like that ... plus they are willing to get the developer to alter all finishing to my liking.
:rofl: :rofl:
