Kallang new flats near Kallang MRT

hi jules, i opted for a 5-room, but i am kinda unlucky because i kena the last day to select...on 9th Oct.

But lucky we decided to go for 5 room on the thinking that there will be less competition and indeed i think this is true. I have been monitoring the no. of units left and 5-room units are reducing by about 4 to 5 each day (so far). I think there are about 140 households that opted for 5 room and about 40 had chose already; 2 choose the bendemeer one.

based on budget and the level we wanna stay...eyeing 2A and 3A now. will go and check them out this fri night and sat day time. get a feel of the night and day...hahaha
 


hi jules and GCY, i presume u both are staying at sims drive now ya? my selection date is 1st Oct...my mum opted for a 4 rm so praying hard there will be some left when our turn is due
 
yah im at blk 59, how about u, jules and kristine?

I did a count a few nights ago...think the total no. of 4-rm left in kallang is about 200+. Good luck to all of us.
 
hi GCY, i think its 4-6 mths after flat selection..this is wat i heard from a fren who live in the same estate and have chosen a flat 2 weeks back at Kallang
 
i tink key collection definitely in early 2008 cos the last day of selection is 9th Oct i dun tink in Nov HDB will give the keys so fast after the selection...

GCY, u taking 5rm ya? u still have soo many gd choices left..envious..wondering if they will release to public after SERS selection, me planning to get a unit there for my own hse too..
 
many good choices? no leh...after checking out several times...those we want are really not much left....

I really hope can get keys in Nov or latest Dec...
 
Monday is our selection and we confirmed can get a 4 rm at Kallang but 4th floor lor..though disappointed with the low floor but lucky enough to get a unit there
 
GCY, we selected a unit at Kallang yesterday and the key collection will be in Dec or Jan as told by the HDB staff...we plan to start sourcing for IDs soon..got a few reco from frens, will be checking them out...

i see 5rm still have many units left high floors too..
 
yah but the good ones mostly gone liao...trying to avoid those get the afternoon sun and avoid those face carpark and then go as high as possible after fulfilling the first 2 conditions. hahahaha
 
aiming for 3B, left 2 7th flr and 1 8th flr...cross fingers...2C and 2D left only those face carpark.

if cannot get 3B...2nd choice is 3C...the unit facing the private estate...if also cannot get...then maybe lan lan go for 2A...

which blk u chose?
 
I have chosen blk 3D. May be neighbours someday. hee...

A/f this stage we can start to discuss renos and decor etc.

Really hope that I can get the keys soon. Cos will be having my customary early next yr. Hope it can be in time.
 
dear dt,

just wondering, you mean you manage to get a flat near kallang mrt (the one painted in green colour)???
 
hi dt, i just log on to see and there are still two units available le, #10 and #04, but wondering qhat is SERS??? pls advise, thanks
 
SERS in full is Selective En Bloc Redevelopment Scheme. It means that the govt force u to move house for redeveloping purposes. Hence, under this scheme, you get some benefit to choose replacement flats near ur current place and u are given some discount to the selling price of the new flats.
 
The balance flats that are not sold will then be open to public under Walk-in-selection (WIS). But this may be in 2 to 3 yrs time.
 
Which block and room type are u looking at? As for WIS, it is dependant on HDB when they want to open to public. If under WIS, they will publish in papers or if u susbribe the e-service from HDB, they will email u too.
 
heyhey i've selected 3C 11th flr

did not manage to get 3B, the left overs are too low. which floors are u ppl on in 2C and 3D? both are blocks with good views loh...

yah..sad, i saw on the computer screen that says key collection on 3rd Jan 08....looks like can't make it before CNY liao...
 
Congrats GCY, at least u still gotten a unit there. I'm staying in 3D, 22nd floor. But is facing inside so no nice scenic views for me
sad.gif
 
i took calculated risks one..cos i don't originally stay in this area..we bought the place only in apr06 knowing about the enbloc...then opt for 5rm thinking that there will be less competition.

my officer say 3-4months also. Then i saw on the computer screen put 3rd Jan loh. But my officer also say may be earlier, it depends. they got to go high court stamp the documents lah..get branch office to release the keys lah etc. aiyah...gahmen...thats y 3 months...:p

yah cny early feb.

yah, cos living room and bedroom of 3C faces east mah. then will kena early afternoon sun at most. when come home after work in evening wun be that hot liao i think. Further more, when 5A is up, 5A will help shield the early afternoon sun i think. This is my thinking lah...
 
Blk 3C not so bad lar. I think that one only morning sun and windy lor. U can rest assured liao. Better than 2B and 2C. That one confirm kena afternoon sun.
 
I've made a wrong move. tat time i vote to buy 4rm, if now wanna change to 5rm also not much choice liao. sigh only left low floors.
 
wah noted that today got 60+ ppl choose 5 room. I think these are ppl who wants to give up their 3 or 4 room to get the 5 room.
 
GCY, congrats on getting a unit! so are you starting to source for ID? i am starting to contact a few IDs le...maybe we can share share information??
 
who are u looking at? I have not actively start looking for one yet. still not sure whether to get ID or contractor.
 
get contractor means u must do all the color coordination and design urself right? honestly me and my sis dun have this kind of time lor...rather get a ID..

i looking at a mixture of IDs and contractors

Linewerkz
Fuse Concept
Desprit
Classic Kitchens (for kitchens)
Ho Bee Reno
 
My colleague used fuse concept. I also intend to check out Ho Bee. The others..i never hear before..haha...hmm Starting to borrow some books and mags to have a better idea of what we want.
 
i have a colleague who used linewerkz, a fren who used fuse concept..Desprit is the ID i used for my bf current hse..classic kitchens and Ho Bee reno are gathered from forums..
 
I may be engaging this freelance designer who charges a fee for designing and a separate fee if use him for project management.

he will also get a few quotes from diff contractors, can also get from our contractor if we want.
 
hey all, me also Blk 2C 25th floor =) face in.. yeah it's time we share ID =) considering A&D, Cis**rn *=e, a few others. 4room. anyone got any quotation to share, pm me at [email protected] ok? thanks.
