Vivian say for investment purposes must hodl long term

The video is about 8@BT, a 99-year leasehold development located at Bukit Timah Link, just 3 minutes walk from Beauty World MRT. The project features 158 units ranging from one to four bedrooms and is expected to top in quarter 4 of 2027. Overall, 8@BT is a good development with unique features such as proximity to MRT and functional layouts. However, from an investment standpoint, it is important to carefully weigh the entry prices, rental income potential, and supply in the area, taking into consideration that you might need to hold longer term.

The video is about a property review of a new condominium development called 8@BT. The location of the condo is near Beauty World MRT Station. The developer bought the land at a price of $1,343 per square feet, which is considered expensive for a small plot of land. However, the land price for City Fringe has been increasing, so the price of 8@BT may not be as expensive as it seems. There are five bidders for the land, and the second highest bidder only bid $1,161 per square feet, which means that 8@BT is being sold at a premium. The developer is planning to sell the units at a profit margin of 15%, which means that the average selling price for a one-bedroom unit will be $1.5 million. The condo has a total of 158 units, and the unit mix is well balanced, with 50.6% of the units being one- and two-bedroom units, and 49.4% of the units being three-, four-bedroom units and penthouses. The condo does not have harmonization, which means that the airon ledge is included in the building area. The developer has not released the indicative price for each unit type, so the only way to estimate the price is to guess based on the marketing material. The estimated average selling price for a one-bedroom unit is $1.5 million, for a two-bedroom unit is $1.75 million, for a three-bedroom unit is $2.7 million, and for a four-bedroom unit is $3.53 million. The condo has a good location, with a shopping mall and MRT station nearby. However, the price is on the high side, and there are other new launches in the area that may be more affordable.

Yeah la. Waste of bandwidth.
Eric video is much better. He has put in some effort with data and comparisons.

Clickbait ma, at least put in effort to make video, so that people (simps) who are interested can contact and find out more :sneaky:

But to quote EC, the difference between integrated or not, and big small development, the gap is prob 200psf.

Also we need to consider the unit layout, 8@BT seems to be more efficient for the 3 bedroom. The high quantum doesn’t justify the large gap.

End of day, the question for us is are u wiling to pay 400psf more for TRR than 8@BT. For a 1000sf unit, this is a gap of 400k

Which is better? Jurong East or Beauty World?
If you like train watching and getting shoved left, right and centre with China FT, go with Jurong East lor. If you like greenery and the potential to rub shoulders with GCB owners, Beauty world lor. :ROFLMAO:

Haha.. with J’den average transacted price at 2478psf, it make sense for Bukit Sembawang to launch at 2600+.

On review by news 938 this morning... I wonder how they will upsell this..
Whatever they do to promote it, it will benefit the adjacent condos...

The interesting ones were the Mayfair duo across the PIE.. smaller with wider plots and very quiet, but not so convenient and only one lift per floor...
