u r lucky! This is one of the rare sites with such beautiful sea views! not sure what they are doing now. There are other sites besides this one... like the SERS sites at Tiong Bahru have not risen above ground too. |

hehe dont think i will be doing much reno to it.. other then buying some new furnitures and doing up the kitchen. But yea.. thats jz tots for now. thanks belyl! i hope u will get your flat soo! i think it should be breezy.. coz my parents are in depot.. end of the year this time.. the wind can get really cold. I was actually waiting for kallang SERS ballot.. but hdb was completely clueless. Hopefully the current econ are not affecting the construction. hehehe hyacinthus: u mean there is a SERS there? I dont remember seeing it. |

i meant HDB has many sites not just Telok Blangah Towers site. Also, where to house the foreign workers if all sites are built at breath breaking speed? |

Hello all.. thank you for the congrats. Truely blessed by this unit!! yea its about 400k. I cant remember. When i was there, i had some problems with family nuclers.. and so when we requested to withdraw it.. the que became 2k+... but thank God my parents stay near by. I could change the family nuclers. I dont think can walk lah from st james (altho i havent try). maybe by bus.. its abt 5 bus stops. By the time its ready. The train oso will be ready. |

fernzy: its indeed a gd deal.. if given a chance again i wld send in my application. Used to urge one of my close malay colleague to apply but he cited that $300k++ for a 4 rm was too expensive but now i think he realised he missed out an gd investment opportunity. doubt there is much left overs. Estimated time of completion shld b ard 2012 ba.. |

yeah, almost zero new hdb ard Telok Blangah liao. but with only 3 blocks, shouldnt it be completed quite fast? actually i am waiting for the upcoming half-yearly sale of 4room or 5 rooms hdb. personally i like the queenstown/bk merah area, my bf & i both work ard this area too. i am really really keeping my fingers crossed to see some units from TBT & other building in progress projects like Ghim Moh Valley, Holland Vista & Strathmore Ave up for sale! but of course i'm sure there is going to be high competition from others also monitoring. and i am a bit worried prices will escalate like Duxton case where the Sep08 ballot cost twice the initial BTO launch price! btw FD, i see your name, Siron, Flipper and a few other regulars in many tabs, i've lost track. haha have u already a flat? are u those P@D lucky ones, or Natura Loft bishan? |

yes fernzy, i m currently co-owning a 4 rm flat with my parent but intend to upgrade to a 5 rm in near future. So m more reg reading up in TPY DBSS The Peak but the project may seem too small yet too expensive for me. Thats why i've been keeping track of the resale market rite now and maybe i will be one of ur "competitor" in any future half-yearly sale. Let's keep it friendly ;) |

haha sure sure no worries. good to have another ears/eyes out for more information! but u reckon it's very possible to have any of these 4 estates up in the half-yearly sale right? 2 of the flats (Dover area) already in the April Quarterly for 3rooms. we are watching out for both 4 room and 5 room. only problem is i'm sure it will hover around S$500k mark. sigh.. are your parents gg to live with u in the new flat too? then that should up your chances for u i hope :) but yes i agree the DBSS units are generally too small yet too ex! just now u mentioned 300k for 4room at TBT? that's a good deal. i think the relatively new blocks (Blk 89, 90) at Commonwealth mrt, 4 room was also priced around 300k. although the real great steal are those redhill close flats, i think it sold abt 300k for a 5 room, during that lull period a few years ago. |

Haha.. well *Handshakes 1st frenzy. =) My parents are gonna be with me where ever i go. New flat prices did shows a big jumo comparing to 4 years back so hopefully the bearish market can retune it back to its more normal states. Be hopeful and buy within the limits. I jus fell at ease with the area when i go for my sunday traits walk with my gf... greenery best~! |
