The Paterson To Launch This Weekend

5 May 2004

Singapore Land, through its subsidiary, Ideal Homes Pte Ltd is launching this weekend, The Paterson, a premium freehold development of 88 exclusive homes in District 9. Just minutes from Orchard Road yet amidst tranquil surroundings this project brings to life the finest in city living. As Singapore Land’s first residential development in almost 30 years, The Paterson marks the company’s renewed focus on the residential sector.

The 22-storey development has a variety of residences, from two-bedroom, three-bedroom and four-bedroom units to penthouses. Sizes range from 1,200 to 3,000 square feet.

“Designed as a homeowner’s private sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the city, The Paterson epitomizes an elite lifestyle, nestled in prime District 9. This is definitely the perfect contemporary home for the discerning buyer,” said Mr Joseph Tan, Director, Residential Project Marketing, CB Richard Ellis.

In addition to its locational advantages, which include close proximity to quality schools, prestigious town clubs and Singapore’s most well–known shopping belt it also has easy access to expressways and is just minutes from the Orchard MRT station.

The Paterson features a totally unique architectural approach. Elegant and restrained, the building is designed to be an aesthetic landmark and a signature development. Sheathed in glass, with an ideal North-South orientation, The Paterson offers residents breath-taking panoramic views of vibrant Orchard Road and the Singapore River. The building is majestically crowned by a large trellised canopy, which will be uplighted at night. The external designs of rich textures are also carried through to the interiors of each unit.

“Another highlight of the development that is truly unique is a specially commissioned collection of fine art in an expansive sculptured garden. This sculpture trail, a first of its kind in a private condominium, starts at the impressive entrance court and curves through undulating lawns, landscaped gardens and water features adding value through art to the residents lives,” added Mr Tan.

In the sprawling 60,000 square feet development, a large range of amenities and facilities have been positioned. A swimming pool, accentuated by black shimmering tiles provides a stunning backdrop for the multi-purpose hall and gymnasium. Tennis courts, play areas and a BBQ area are the other facilities.

“Competitively priced from $1.5 million upwards, the average price of the 88 units is $1,240 per square foot. Already more than 40 per cent of the units have been snapped up before the official launch,” said Mr Tan.

Temporary Occupation Permit for The Paterson is expected in the third quarter of 2004.

location too

Wow! They are about to finish it, and only then did they launch the condo?!

Strange...different developers do things differently.

The ones at Evelyn Rd are being built but dont have a name or launch yet...which is good since CityDev will probably build the 245m apartment first.

nope they're launching first... july i think or third quarter...

another look from the side - its quite a fat building and though not very tall, you can see it from the pedestrian bridge next to Far East Plaza.

http://img96.exs.cx/img96/8571/pat2.jpg

Reminds me of those newer HDB blocks at Seng Kang...

uh.. yar lor.. how disappointing.. haha. so happy for those who paid millions for this :D

its the colours......

the colours play a part, but i think its the 'trying-to-look-complicated' without fine details that spoils it? not sure though.. that's the best i could come up wtih.

its trying to dress up like Lincoln Modern but is just too fat to pull it off :lol:

poor building :ohno:

Condo construction update threads should be archived!

Look, it's trying to take off ^^
Hmm, I'm afraid it's a bit too fat for its little wings...

it sure is wide!

It does not look too bad from this angle:

SingLand to let buyers defer payment in Paterson relaunch

18 Mar 05

By ARTHUR SIM

IF YOU are waiting for perks and incentives before buying a new property, you might want to check out Singapore Land's relaunch of the Paterson off Orchard Boulevard this weekend.


The 88-unit freehold development was first launched in December 2002. All buyers in the relaunch will be eligible for a deferred payment scheme, with mortgage payments starting only 12-months after booking.

Joseph Tan, director of residential project marketing at CB Richard Ellis, marketing agents for relaunch, said buyers could stand to save as much as $17,100 on interest payments. He said that although deferred payment schemes are common with uncompleted projects, it is unusual for projects with temporary occupation permits (TOP) such as The Paterson.

Average prices are about $1,238 per square foot (psf) and unit sizes range from 1,206 to 3,283 sq ft.

Another development recently relaunched was Bonvest Holdings' the Trumps, near Kembangan MRT on the East Coast. The 99-year leasehold, 189-unit development was first launched in May 2001 with an asking price of $640 psf. Colliers International, which is handling this relaunch, says the average price is now $530 psf.

Soon to be relaunched is Goodval Holdings' freehold Parc Haven in Balestier Road. The 137-unit project was launched in March 2001 with an average price of $695 psf. Marketing agent Knight Frank says the expected relaunch price will be in the low $500s.

Explaining the drop, Lui Seng Fatt, regional director and head of investment sales at Jones Lang LaSalle, said launch prices are dependent on the take-up. That does not necessarily mean only units that are more difficult to sell, such as those on the lower floors, were all that were available. 'Developers will hold on to good units to be released at later dates too,' he said.

Buyers looking for choice picks, however, have two new developments that will be launched this weekend.

In District 10, developer Jobina Construction is launching Duchess Manor, a 999-year development at 20 Duchess Road. Its 52 units of 646 to 3,540 sq ft will go for an average of $850 psf. The TOP is expected in July.

Hot on the heels of the Platinum Edge's launch in Potong Pasir, the Novelty Group is launching Bluwaters, a 45-unit development at 195 Jalan Loyang Besar. Sizes range from 797 to 2,765 sq ft and are priced at an average of $500 psf. Bluwaters has a tenure of about 946 years. TOP is expected in December 2007.

DTZ Debenham Tie Leung is the marketing agent for both projects.

Had viewed the Paterson early in the year... didn't feel good abut it, bad karma or something.

1) the circular driveway was too narrow. U can barely drive a medium-sized sedan in there and not scratch it while turning around the driveway!

2) They were desperate to sell... not many units occupied yet. This is what, 3, 4 years after first launch?

3) Lots of frills that you won't need but are paying for... designer sculptures in the lift lobby, in the basement car park lobby, etc... i mean the whole place looks like an art museum or something.

4) From the outside, the color scheme simply sucks.

5) ugly architecture.. lots of concrete.. i have seen HDB flats in Toa Payoh that look like this, only newer and for 1/8 of the price.

6) been told that the developer is in the hotel business, so i dunno...

7) first class location, third class building.

Judging from its sales, few people apparently like it enough to wanna stay there.

yes i agree, it really looks like a hdb flat.

LOL...now theres a construction going on next to it across the road...but it wont obstruct the views for this one

The construction next door is for the Paterson Residences. Another freehold project, and the block's shape looks stuningly like the Paterson... Same triangular layout, about the same height I reckon...
The development also has a smaller lowrise component with 4 or 5 shophouse-like buildings. I couldn't take pictures, sorry ;-) But the launch is going to be soon.

For the Paterson, it is almost sold-out now !
And hmm... It definitely looks first-class from the inside ;-) But all the good units are sold, of course.

I agreed with u. The driveway is so narrow that even my toyota has problem turning out. Aniwae, can some1 explain to me the reason behind the rock that was splited into half at the enterance. Aniwae. Hear that it's almost sold out....

How will this development be affected by the new one coming up next door? Is there a view to be blocked?

I think the main balcony views will not be blocked by its neighbour nextdoor.

The Paterson appears to be North-South aligned, with the service areas having a East-West facing.

Visited the Paterson today. Nice understated bldg, very elegant. Great location. Stone's through from Orchard. Also, its setback from the road means it does not get noise from Grange/Paterson. I hear there is another condo to come up behind the Paterson, where there are houses now. Any news on that one?

I think you might be refering to this one (work has started already):
http://skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=274303

Or is it a new project ?

This is the one I am referring to:

"The Lengkok Angsa site - comprising 32 landed houses - which Bukit Sembawang clinched for $117.2 million translates to a land price of about $650 psf ppr including DC, a substation on the site and an adjoining road strip. The site has a 2.1 plot ratio, and Bukit Sembawang is planning to build on it a 24-storey luxury condo with about 100 mostly large units - three and four bedders with an average size of 1,500 sq ft or even bigger."

Bt Sembawang bags Holland site for $49m
Including estimated $6.1m development charge, price works out to $541 psf per plot ratio

Hahahaha, OK, I've found it on Street Directory...

This is the bunch of houses that a property agent told me "they are very unlikely to be redeveloped" when I said they looked like crap and maybe some building is gonna replace them soon.

A significant part of the views are going to be blocked by this development, which by the way should be about the same height with the Paterson. Of course it's difficult to say how much is going to be blocked, we have to see the design first, but this will be just in front of the Scotts Road-facing apartments. Never believe agents ^ ^

Is The Paterson getting a new paint job? Anyone got pics?
