If I am not mistaken, the showroom is situated at the piece of empty land next to Sky Green, diagonally opposite Breadtalk IHQ, near Tai Seng MRT; anyway not sure if it is ready for viewing ornot.
All towers are 70m apart? I counted 4 obvious towers in a row in the picture, so from first to fourth tower is at least 210m? Huge space!
well. nowadays all new launch are next to or above MRT.
Of the 3 new launch I visited, the most crowded is North Park at Yishun.

1. Sims Oasis, next or near to Aljunied mrt going at aro $1400 psf
2. North Park , above Yishun mrt and bus inter-change, to me it a good location, similar to Nex, going at $1380 psf
3. Botanquie , near Bartley mrt, today visited the place, soso lah, guess going at $1300 psf.

Hmms, now is it the time to buy...hehe, more for the first timer...me kena pay 10% ABSD no thanks.
Long term ppty sure to beat inflation, now every country print money like no tomorrow. Understand by 2020, our target population is 6.9 million, ppty is co-related to population, and also interest rate.
Do land cost go south, no leh.
-Land cost for Sims I remembered is $680 psf
- Construction cost now is $400 psf
- Marketing and Financing cost aro $100 psf
So break-even smelly smelly aro $1180 psf... see how low the developer can sell?

4 yrs ago, I bot a FH condo at dist 15 for aro $1050 psf, now worth $1350psf. I enjoyed 3 yrs of super low mortage interest rate of below 1%.

Of late, interest rate spike to 1.8%, sweating liao...if touches 3% time to go-in liao but will it happen? I dunno...but likely to hit 2.5% by this year.
Will govt fine tune the cooling measure...like relax the TDSR to certain category of people to have higher loan.

Whatever is it, if you enter at low price with good location...long term (say 5 yrs) the next wave will be higher than current peak... But the on-going Supply will damper the Demand, so dun think so huge profit like those bot during Sar periods....okay that my humble view.
Thanks for the update Koh, you still very in-touch with the local property scene.
