Karine, it's gonna be a DBSS flat project. Just like the one at Boon Keng. I understand the launch will be at the later half of this year.

I think the developer is building the showflats and office areas between Apr and Jun. Tat's why it's fenced up now. Boon Keng was quite highly priced. Max is 700+K for a 5RM unit.

In no time, we will see a lot of people going bankrupt because they owe hdb or banks money because they desperately need a flat and just apply for it although they are able to pay the downpayment.
Furthermore, the government does not make it economical. We do not need all these special features of a condo look-alike flat. If we want to buy condo, we will buy condo. If we want to buy flat, we will buy a flat. What's the point of building a conuterfeit condo when they always say that they will ban the counterfeit?! Contradicting! And where got counterfeit priced at a such an exorbitant price?

Hi Twinfairy,
personally, i find it's smaller than Tampines DBSS esp the 4 Rm flat kitchen.
for 4Rm is abt 91 sqm.
as for 5rms are varies from 112 - 120 sqm
But good point is the Balcony.
Overall, i still think it's a gd location to buy but the price is still on the high side.

i've been to the showroom.
the 4 rm's kitchen is really really small. I find that there are too many balconies in a house. For 4 room, living room, there's a balcony, master bedroom, there is a balcony. My concern: Hard to clean in future when you're staying there.
For 5-room, there is a balcony and planter in living room, planter in master bedroom, one of the bed rooms and study room. If you like to grow a lot of plants, it will be good, else it's useless to me.
These are what I've seen at the showroom. 4 room price start from $433k, 5 room start from $534. There are 5 units on each floor. Total no. of floors: 30. For blk 588A, B & C, each floor there is only 1 4-room unit and 4 5-room units. For blk 588D, there is 3 4-room units and 2 5-room units. As you can see, there are more 5-room units than 4 room units.
For a couple earning about $5k a month (Combined gross salary), and with a housing grant ($40k - staying near parents), your monthly instalment for a flat selling at $470k (4 room) is about $1630. With your CPF per month, you still need to fork out about $500 in cash. Repayment period is 30 yrs. Quite xiong.
For 5-room selling at $550k e.g., the monthly instalment is $1900+ (above conditions stand still). You still need to fork out about $900+ in cash. Super xiong!
My 2 cents-worth. Those who have interest to buy should go to their HDB booth there to check out how much you need to pay per month. Oh and upon selection of flat, you have to pay 5% of selling price in cold hard cash. This is quite difficult for those young couples who started working just recently. E.g. $470k flat, you need to pay $23,500 in cash when you select a flat. Very very tough, I feel.

I also just came back from the showflat.
The 4 room really very small and the kitchen is almost non-existent. I also noticed that the flooring was not of good workmanship. I hope this is just the case for showflat. The homogenous tiles gaps are so wide.
When asked about the balcony, it is with ceramic tiles. My concern is that it is hard to clean the stain. We also cannot hack up the tiles or overlay. Too many bay windows even in the toilet!
But as our income ceiling is over 8k, chances of us being eligible to purchase this DBSS project is slim. We enquired the HDB officer on spot, she gave us the look that even with appeal, the chance is slim. Sigh!

hi twinfairy,
yes, the rule of the income ceiling of 8k is fixed by HDB. Thus, you will not be able to appeal.
Some ppl want kana held back by income ceiling. Ppl like me want but find it tough to afford. Hai~
Agree with u that there are many planters, bay windows, balconies and the kitchen for 4 room is non-existent. Also, I find what deters me is there's no place to hang clothes! Have to get a dryer by hook or by crook. Cannot even save electricity. Hai~

i jus went in time that the showflat is closing. sigh. gotta go back another day. boohoo!
The 4 room kitchen is smaller than a store room lo! Can onli stand one person!
The materials and workmanship of the cabinets are also not that fantastic. I supposed the showroom will look nicer than actual! Dun think its worth to pay so much more... Floor tiles also those cheap ones.
Overall, it somehow looks similar to the boon keng one. I supposed it will be a flop like the boon keng.
Too exp, and small. Totally unaffordable for average couples earning 5-6k. Unless you already have a flat, but its a risk, cos the resale market might plunge after 3-4 yrs. >.<
