First weekend showflat all full
Any idea why the interest in the property is so high? Seems like an interesting developing but not sure if this is a good location given its close proximity to seletar airbase - there’ll be planes zooming above Parc Greenwich constantly, even more so after Paya Lebar airbase shifts over

maybe few of below reasons:-

> A pool of ready upgraders from Sengkang Fernvale area.
> Tengah EC bidding show the price will be even higher for next EC projects
> Easy access to 2 highways (CTE, TPE), 2 malls nearby, surrounded by landed and empty land means less crowded area.
> 15 mins drive to Orchard (on weekends when CTE is not Jammed ;)
> Nearby EC The Topiary Big Huat!
> Rich families staying in nearby landed houses buy for their kids if they are eligible for EC

The last but not least > EC must buy no matter where it is

Went to recce the area over the weekend. Noticed a couple of things:
1) Greenwich V is a really quiet mall - good for people who like to lead a tranquil life.
2) Transportation wise, the buses might take longer than expected to reach the mrt stations due to the numerous traffic lights along the way. Not sure if the buses in future will be over crowded tho. The bus stop along fernvale are serving topiary, Parc Greenwich and the new HDBs (Fernvale Dew and Acres).
3) Went to the plot slated for industrial area. Currently there’s aquarium, farms and even animal columbarium. Hopefully the future industrial areas will be more developed than the current state. There’s currently construction in that area and it’s a grey area (transport facility) according to the URA Masterplan. But I doubt it’s anything significant - probably something like bus depot. Any thoughts?
4) By the way, anyone has any updates on the Seletar Regional Centre? Seems like news on this dies down. On the URA master plan, there’s a huge yellow site (reserved site) above TPE. Anyone knows what is that for?

Imo, Parc Greenwich only for ppl who drives. Too inconvenient for public transport. Hopefully North-South expressway will be completed around TOP to relieve CTE jams

Seletar is mainly for aerospace industry. Recovery will take some time.

They need only 496 buyer who love to stay near 2 highways rather than MRT. EC is best for HDB upgraders as they can stay in HDB until TOP (best of both world)

Fernvale/Sengkang area itself may have hundreds of serious HDB upgraders who may be already eying on this project of 496 units only .

Why buy Parc Greenwhich when u can get Watergarden at similar psf -$13xxpsf assuming developer still launching at that price.

Full fledged condo near Canberra mrt, if u had been luckier maybe Pasir Ris 8 at $1400psf w a shopping mall below u too.

A car owner will prefer Parc Greenwich over Watergarden or Provence EC

Will be interesting to compare this launch to Provence/Parc Canberra given very different attributes.

Why so? What about transport options for his or her spouse/children?
Many are single or married without kids or divorced or children alr married.. Children can take bus if schools nearby.

very near CTE exit and near TPE also

Not that I like the location. I think Parc Canberra was the best recent EC launch given proximity to mrt. But I think that a significant proportion of Singaporeans own cars n don’t use public transport much

Please do not compare lowest psf of a PC with highest psf of an EC and that also for just handful unit. Need to focus on average price will give better idea of prices. Also If HDB upgrader buy PC then stay where till TOP? Rental for 3-4 years is significant big amount.

People also have area preferences for self stay. What you and me think is good but others do not have any interest in the same.
