How many would go that North to Sembawang?
Many are eyeing Keppel Shipyard area .

Maybe the Singaporeans living in Johor...
It’s something 15-20 years down the road

From your choices, I can deduce that your preference is in the North area. There are some developments to look forward to apart from the Canberra MRT and sports hub. Accessibility will be much improved as well.

Personally, PL and V are on par with each other. For convenience, I will leave out Brownstone as many good units have been snapped up. Obviously, each EC developer needs to differentiate their product from the rest. So let's look at the highlights:

Visionaire - Samsung Smart Home, near future sports hub
ParcLife - next to Canberra park, 8 spas

Between developers, FCL gives a better sense of security compared to QJ due to the latter's poor publicity in previously projects. But all developments will have some defects.

Location can be argued both ways. Both are walkable to their respective MRT stations and their attached shopping centres. But let's look at other facts of location within 500m radius:

PL - next to park, near commercial buildings, chinese temple site earmarked nearby, community club, secondary school

V - opp sports hub, in the centre of 3 shopping centres (SSC, Sun Plaza, Canberra plaza), in a new neighbourhood (Canberra) within a private home cluster

It is difficult to predict how much the properties can rise in value, but generally ECs are for residential stay and long-term investment, usually a no-lose situation. With the number of condo units in the area, rental income may be a problem, but selling for a profit should be less of an issue.

There are so many potential issues that can make or break your choice, so look at your priorities. Sometimes, it can simply be down to feeling - e.g. I prefer the bathrooms of V over PL, but the general finishing quality as seen from the showflat is less stellar.

Gather lots of information and do your research if you can wait. If you can't wait so long, look at all the showflats on the same day and get a good feel, then research on the aspects that are important to you.

Good luck!

How you know PL is near the temple, cannot be church or mosque as it only mention place of worship?

First time I heard this temple thingy. The surrounding are all zoned as industrial B1 and B2 further down if u look at the latest URA plan.

So any temple nearby?

Oh yeah, I found it. Opposite the park, after Proxima. It's a place of worship, could be temple or church or even mosque.

Hmm if i remember correctly, the small zone in red is already build finished a light industrial building now... been there for past 1-2years ?? Oh haha. I just went to street directory... the small red zone seems empty plot where it is surrounded by light industrial area... so funny. Can build a small temple beside the park ah ??

If it is a temple, all residents will be greatly affected. And even worst, temple near park? Then everyday people go park will not have fresh air anymore because of the burning. Hope govt will reconsider building a temple there as the lives of people will be greatly affected.

 

[Mergui219067]

Not all units will be facing the temple if so .
Anyway an empty land / unblocked view opp any home = not perpetual entitlement.

A few years ago a kumgong HDB owner demanded the govt to pay his yearly aircon bill as his low unit would be blocked by a building and no longer windy.

 

[ahboy82]

I think he is saying 2nd hand condo. Quite many in the market...

Dun agree leh. Maybe myapple to apple comparisom is very strict. I generaly find similar pc prices at least 200k more.

Paiseh, I just realized after someone pointed me out....if u read the plan carefully, I think the place of worship is being rezoned as Business 1. Correct me if I am wrong.

 

[Mergui219067]

Not true for all .
Some older one still may command good price even though they are aging esp good location & freehold like CitySq Residence.

Oh so changed alrdy.. Was wondering how they’re going to squeeze a temple there the last time i visited the site

 

[pelangi15]

Not sure if it’s 6% or 1%.. i only had the last price list vs the new price which was adjusted again. And it was up by 6% from that list. So assuming they had a fixed price list when first launched, then gave 5% discount on that price list, after that increase by 6% more again, does that mean the late buyers are paying ~11% more..

Do you know any remaining unit current price?

I still have the launch day prices... but i think not many units left... so up to you

Wow! Which part of sembawang would it be at? Don’t recall seeing any huge plot of land near the mrt. I suppose it’s the other side not near to parc life?

Rule of thumb

One hectare is approx equivalent to 1 Soccer field.
