The Visionaire EC

[grix17]

39, c4 floor plan makes a huge living room if you knock down the study wall. Also, it gives an unblocked view over the future sports hub all the way to sembawang mrt (about 400-500m of good view). Plus it's block 188 so...

Haha .. I was speculating on Blk 188 being sold out first. Might be right about that. It's not a bad idea to face outside, though it's hard to pin down the completion date of the future sports hub. Hope the timing works out fine.

You're right, most of stack 39 are sold out. Actually it's okay even if future sports hub isn't completed so soon. There's lots of greenery in the meantime to overlook which makes for a fairly pleasant sight haha

It's a cost benefit analysis. But from the map it doesn't look like it'll get too much afternoon sun. So for me, high floor, unblocked view is enough to mitigate a bit of west sun. All the east facing units don't have very much of a view in my humble opinion. Also the pool facing units were too exp for me (about 50k difference for pool view plus another small balcony I won't use). As to which floor, 7th and above should be good enough to look over the hill, according to my agent

As long as you have weight the pro and cons then should be OK.. So now just enjoy it once you TOP hehehe.. should be windy as well.. Congratz!

Stack 39 should be getting just some diagonal west sun? Shouldn't be too much, and it's always good to have some sunlight in the apartment!

Here's the siteplan with distances:

Why Visionaire is considered near MRT when it is about more than 500m from the upcoming MRT? Brownstone is consider near cause less than 400m. Visionaire is not that near. Still Visionaire is a good buy.

It's the usual marketing ploy. In fact, Parclife is even farther from the MRT, yet it is also considered nearby. Only Brownstone is truly next to the MRT but the design of the car park will then put off those who drive. Can't please everyone.

25% of Qingjian's EC units sold at weekend launch

Frasers Centrepoint's Parc Life EC receives more than 700 e-apps

QINGJIAN Realty (South Pacific) Group sold 25 per cent or 158 units of its executive condominium project in Sembawang, The Visionaire, during the first weekend of launch.

Those with "smart home" package were sold at an average of S$811 per square foot (psf). Close to 70 per cent of the buyers opted for the package, while the rest who opted out were given price cuts of S$6,500 to S$8,000 depending on the unit size. More than 60 per cent of the buyers were first-timers.

Qingjian Realty general manager Li Jun said that such a high take-up rate for the "smart home" package among price-sensitive executive condominium (EC) buyers show the readiness of Singaporeans to adopt "smart" living.

"With our partnerships with the systems integrators and technology companies already in place, we will ride on these synergies to reach out to our other homeowners who may also want to be early adopters of 'smart' living," he said.

The group will start rolling out "smart home" packages for homeowners at all its condominium and executive condominium projects that have received temporary occupancy permit (TOP), including Riversound Residence and River Isles, as well as for current launches including Bellewaters and Bellewoods. They will also be available at upcoming launches.

Qingjian had earlier received an astounding 859 number of e-applications, however. Commenting on the conversion rate and sales, Mr Li said these were "satisfactory and within expectations" in view of current market conditions.

He felt that this is also comparable to Brownstone, an adjacent 638-unit project by City Developments that sold some 185 units or about 29 per cent during its weekend launch....

(Continued)


Mr Li believes that some potential buyers are adopting a wait-and-see approach given the looming launch of another EC project in Sembawang, Parc Life by Frasers Centrepoint Limited (FCL) and Keong Hong Holdings.

Parc Life is scheduled to start selling this weekend at a lower indicative average pricing of S$770-800 psf. FCL said on Monday that it has received more than 700 e-applications as of April 24 for its 628-unit Parc Life EC. "Feedback from potential buyers have been very positive and we look forward to the bookings on April 30," FCL said.

FCL and Keong Hong bought the land in Sembawang Avenue for S$214.08 million or S$320.11 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr) in July 2014; while Qingjian acquired its Sembawang site in September that year for nearly S$229.38 million or S$353 psf ppr.

Hi, how about stack 25? Got west sun ? I got a unit at stack 25 facing the pool , dunno whether noisy from mrt

stack 25 will probably get lesser west sun due to the block's angle. think it's bearable as the evening sun will come in slanted only.
