I am a silent reader but I am surprised but some of the very positive comments here about the development. No doubt it is an iconic development with great connectivity and beautiful views (for some stacks) but upon scrutiny, it's not that nice in terms of layout and such.
For the 3 bedroom premium units, the showflat unit just exacerbates the inefficient layout. The kitchen and yard area is longish and narrow albeit inefficient. The backdoor is for deliveries and yet, the layout of yard and kitchen with the longish corridors and sharp turns makes it difficult for big items or furniture to move in. Thus for moving of big items, I foresee the pte lift will be used. Imagine having to use the lift when there is lots of shifting of big furniture and bulky items from the entire stack esp during initial period and as and when ppl renovate or move/in takes away the 'atasness' of it all.
Next, the view is gorgeous. But, if u study the facade design, I see that there's protruding walls /beams all around the facade. This looks like the design of those old office buildings and the actual view may not be as nice as imagined.
Also, I look at the squarish common corridor orientation of the units in the tower. Likely, the lifts are in the middle and the corridor (most main doors) are along a square kind of corridor. Very office like and doesn't really have a residential feel.
The strongest selling point is just the location and it looks iconic. Perhaps living in is another story if one examines how practical the layout is. From the showflat, I find the 2 bedroom unit layout most efficient.
I concur with some old-time forummers here. Buying a project is easy, but selling is another story. Buyers can hiam everything under the sky. Once the physical product is out, any flaws will be magnified and picked out by prospective buyers.
