Another big mid-rise project for the area in between Orchard and Little India.
The show room is located on top of Mount Emily (at a much better location than the actual project, I have to say ^^ ), but it seems closed. There is a lot of signage all around the project, but the renderings are not there yet, although the space is ready.

looks like another boring project :/

Glass looks good though (in the model)

but I cant seem to get the location..is it near the Peace centre?

so it hasnt started construction yet?

No, it's near the used car market near Little India MRT exit on Bukit Timah Road.
No sign of construction yet, they're digging some space off the hill.

Parc Emily preview this weekend at $750 psf

25 Feb 05

PROPERTY tycoon Kwek Leng Beng will preview the freehold 295-unit Parc Emily this weekend at an average price of $750 per square foot. Parc Emily, at Mount Emily Park, is being developed by City Developments and TID - a joint venture between Japan's Mitsui Fudosan and Hong Leong Holdings. The eight-storey Parc Emily is slated for completion in 2008. It will have four duplex apartments of 1,900 to 2,000 sq ft, as well as one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments. Knight Frank will market the project.

It should be this one:

The name of the project was not specified anywhere when I took this pic on 18th of February this year.

yes. :)

So, it's not construction but alteration...

can't find any information about it on the web.

For enquiries or feedback, please call the above-said telephone nos. and quote project reference number ;-)

lol... will do. ;-)

Any updates on Parc Emily?

It should be high-rise better.

What about high rise? :yes:

It should be high-rise better.

nah I dont think highrises there are feasible since its no near the Istana

The buildings look close to one another at the site.

Sophia Court is on enbloc sale for $718 psf. Will Parc Emily price rise if the enbloc sale is successful?

Barring any economic shocks, if D9 properties go up to $3000 - $4000 as some pple have predicted, a price of at least $1200 psf for Parc Emily should be reasonable.

There may be a few negative factor e.g.seedy bars, still in a centrally located D9 district, I think it's a bargain when the larger units are still sold at around $800 psf or slightly less.

Any update on Parc Emily?

i'm not sure how good the location is actually. it seems pretty near to orchard and stuff, but when i drove in there to take a look on friday night (around 9.30pm) going in was ok.. but when i drove out, i was caught in this huge crazy jam all the way from the small lane just next to the old rex theatre, past the car market, all the way from there to bukit timah road. by the time i managed to get out of that jam, it was about 10.30pm. really crazy! plus, driving in would mean going into restricted zone in the daytime, but when you drive out towards bukit timah road (which seems like the only way to go), you actually drive out of the restricted zone. btw, does anyone know if that small lane just before you turn into the lane leading to emily residences and parc emily is 1-way or 2-way?

That road should be Niven Road.... its 2-way. I used that road to keep within the restricted zone before.

SOLD OUT.

Nice update ! What a progress ! I didn't walk through this area in a long time :-) Thanks for the pictures ^ ^

Hi,

Anyone has any latest photos on this development ? Anyone know the latest TOP dates ? Some said January 2008.

Thank you in advanced for the photos.

Sophia Court's successful enbloc has any effect on Parc Emily?

I reckon developers are going to go for more than $1000 psf - since that area is nearer to Dhoby Ghaut MRT and is on freehold land. We may very well see a good deal of enthusiasm if it is priced at less than $1500 psf. I can't wait for the launch to take place :banana:

Parc Emily is less prime location-wise (due to allergic reaction towards foreign workers), so can't do a direct comparison. Still i think there can be some spill-over effect...especially if the project is sold out within a short period of the launch.

Let's wait and see.

Anybody has any info if GuocoLand will release the Sophia Court enbloc project soon?

Anyone know when is the TOP ?

I believe Parc Emily has huge upside....potentially hitting $1500 psf this year. Anyone care to comments.....:banana:

Yes, definitely huge upsize when Sophia Court enbloc released its property launch @ $1500 and above. TOP should be 2008. :banana:

Seems like this area has potential for more revamp.
50% of Parklane owners has agreed to sell (see other discussion thread). Hope to see the whole place get more lively.

Anyone know what's the total no of studio units in this project? interested in this project.

Another enbloc after Sophia Court.....

BT : Mount Sophia Apt sold for $15m - 15 Feb 07 More options

Mount Sophia Apt sold for $15m


MOUNT Sophia Apartment, a 13-unit walk-up apartment block on Sophia
Road, has been sold to BS Capital for $15.18 million through a
collective sale tender.


The price, plus a development charge of about $70,000 to intensify
land use, reflects a land cost of $564 per sq ft per plot ratio. The
breakeven price of the new project is estimated at $920 to $930 psf.


Marketing agent Credo Real Estate said yesterday that the tender
exercise was keenly contested by four other parties. Mount Sophia
Apartment, with an 80 per cent consensus from owners, was put up for
sale in January this year.


The existing development, with a land area of 1,197 square metres
(12,882 sq ft) is within walking distance of Plaza Singapura, The
Cathay and Dhoby Ghaut MRT.


Credo Real Estate managing director Karamjit Singh said that under the
2003 Masterplan the site is zoned for residential use with a plot
ratio of 2.1 and can be redeveloped into a niche apartment block
catering to inner-city living. With a total gross floor area of some
27,053 sq ft, the developer can configure the project as 26 apartments
averaging about 1,000 sq ft each.

If the en bloc sale of Peace Centre and Peace Mansion is successful, prices in the area will shoot for sure:cheers:

Are Peace Centre and Peace Mansion undergoing en bloc process? I'd love to get a look inside Peace Mansion, particularly at the top floor units. I imagine the views from there must be stellar as it seems to be the highest building around the Istana. 30 years old or so, non-freehold, so I wasn't sure whether it was worth looking into buying there.

Today's Straits Times newspaper has an article in the Money pages on this en bloc project.

Peace Centre, Peace Mansions up for collective sale


PEACE Centre and Peace Mansions in Sophia Road are for sale through an expression-of-interest exercise at an indicative price of $470 million, in what is one of Singapore's biggest mixed-development collective-sale offerings so far.

Steven Ming, director of investment sales at marketing agent Savills Singapore, said yesterday the indicative price for the 76,618 sq ft site translates to $880 per sq ft per plot ratio, including an estimated $82 million charge to reset the 37-year-old development's leasehold tenure to 99 years.

Mixed-development collective-sale sites transacted previously include Eng Cheong Towers, Kim Tian Plaza and, most recently, Kim Seng Plaza. Peace Centre/Peace Mansions, however, has the biggest price tag.

The development comprises a nine-storey commercial block and a 32-storey part-commercial, part-residential tower. There are 86 apartments, 137 offices, 95 shops and a car park.

Mr Ming says 70 per cent approval for a collective sale has already been achieved.

Subject to official approval, the site can be redeveloped up to its current gross floor area (GFA) of 627,852 sq ft, which happens to exceed the permissible plot ratio of 4.2.

A new, purely residential development is unlikely, says Mr Ming. More likely is a mixed development with a shopping mall, service apartments, medical or even an educational institution.

CapitaLand is developing a new shopping mall and service apartments nearby on the site of the former Selegie Complex.

Last year, Lend Lease Real Estate Investments bought the neighbouring Paradiz Centre for $138 million.

If the en bloc sale of Peace Centre and Peace Mansion is successful, prices in the area will shoot for sure:cheers:

Praying hard that the sale go through, have been waiting for a total makeover for this area.^^

Contributing to the overall Bugis entertainment centre and education hub. :lol:

Paradiz and Peace Centre going for a makeover. Strange to leave Parklane behind right? :lol:

What happens to the collective agreement of Parklane Shopping mall?

Paradiz and Peace Centre going for a makeover. Strange to leave Parklane behind right? :lol:

In fact they should combine all 3 (Peace Centre/Parklane/Paradiz) and make a major seamless new development. Will increase the attraction and value of their properties and also the ambience of that area.

Will depend if the developers are willing to work together. :lol:

If Peace Centre is sucessfully en-bloced, it will be good for nearby developments like Parc Emily. Apart from having better surroundings and more shops, etc, they will have a larger pool of potential tenants working in the new offices (Selegie Complex and Peace Centre).

Good for those upcoming properties in Sophia as well. :lol:

Anybody knows if there are any proposed sale transactions for the neighbouring plots of land to Parc Emily like the Mackenzie Used Car Sale Centre and the empty plot of Car Park space right above the Little India MRT Station? Any news of TOP date?

Potential Downtown line MRT station?

Yes, think you are right. Also to watch for the 40 unit boutique apartments to be launched by CDL in the Mount Sophia area soon. Should get updates on Peace Mansion enbloc soon. :)

Any idea where is the location for the CDL boutique apartments project?

Wilkie Rd. Boutique probably means small, few facilities, plot ratio'ed to the max or even over the limit. :ohno:

Waiting for a new development to set a benchmark for Sophia.

yeah...it should be right where the showflat of Parc Emily used to be! Just beside hang-out@Emily and height shouldn't be taller than it also...

Not a very big site to contain 40 units. :ohno:

CT is right. The 40 Boutique apartments will be nestled at the Parc Emily Showroom site just next to Hangout. In the most recent Kim Eng report covering CDL by their in-house property analyst, the sale price is estimated to be $1500psf.

Any views?

If Newton is going for $2,000 psf, $1,500 does look a possibility. Look out for GuocoLand Sophia Court enbloc too.

Heard that the developer intends to launch this small boutique at $1800psf.

Hi,

I passed by the area last week and I noticed another development is launching soon. This one is also a small development (about 50 units) and it's opposite the CDL development along Wilkie Road. Anyone know the name and the $$psf ?
Looks like this place is getting hotter and hotter.

Last week I went to see mackenzie 88 launch at $1350 psf. It was SOLD out on that day. So didnt managed to get one.

Nick

I called up an agent and was told the price is around $1500 to $1600. :)

An agent who would be doing the launch mentioned $1500 psf or more, said it would be more expensive than Mackenzie 88. Umm...looks kinda likely.

Mackenzie sold out?? When the agent told me he got a couple of blank cheques for Mackenzie 88, I was kinda sceptical. The birdcage small units selling like hotcakes - real or not?? Don't bluff. $1350 psf, not exactly cheap, but I guess affordable if you are looking at a 450 sq ft unit.

Strange how some pple seem so eager to pay the kinda of price to buy from developers when they may be able to bargain for less if they are willing to settle for a resale apt in the area. :nuts:

Yes, it is interesting to note such a behavior. But, doesn't it occur any other area as well? :lol:

Could be because of the deferred payment scheme which requires the buyer to fork out 10% (or 20%) first, and the remainder to be paid up at TOP.

CDL is also launching its new project at wilkie road soon. Noticed its showflat is undergoing reno now.

My friend and I each managed to get a 75sqm 2bdrm unit at Mackenzie 88.

She sold hers at $1463 psf. Now I am tempted to sell mine. Will there be more upside in the next 2-3 months? Or should I release at the same price?

Parc Emily which is clearly a superior project has not even been transacted above $1300psf (even though they have started asking 1400-1500psf),then whoever is willing to buy Mackenzie 88 at around 1500psf is a nuthead and you should grab any such offer. Sell it and buy at Parc Emily.

I am just amazed people are willing to pay that kind of prices for Mackenzie 88when there is a superior project nearby selling cheaper and developed by one of the biggest developers.

I have not seen the Mackenzie88 project but in terms of location, floor size, facilities, PE looks more superior.
Perhaps the reason why we do not see any transaction above $1.3Kpsf is becoz PE owners are not keen to sell. One may give a asking price just to test the market but not really keen to sell even buyer offers at asking price.

Even Mackenzie 138 is selling for $1200psf now. And the new Wilkie project is asking $1500-$1600psf. Mackenzie Regency is also going for $1200psf. To me Parc Emily seems undervalued, it is obviously better than these projects, and should be commanding $1500psf and above.

Looking at the current rising trend, in just another 6 months this project will rise to $1800 psf.

BUT ppl are also sceptics now because prices at District 9 is way above $3000 psf so they will start looking for undervalued project like Parc emily, wilkie, shanghai road, etc.

Just my two cents..Anyone care to comment further..

There is a cap or resistance level that the mid-end to mass market can afford as they're supported by mid end salaried employees. And remember salary increment has not increased much over last 3 years despite GDP growth, and taking in inflation across the board.

I don't believe the price will go up by similar quantum or even linear, whenever the luxury high end price goes up.

The gap between luxury high-end and mid-to-mass market will increase and stretch furthur. Luxury high-end buyers have much higher tolerance of pricing than we can imagine.

Imagine the price of prime Orchard sites increased from $2000psf to $4000psf, and you expect the mid-end will increase from $1000psf to $2000psf over 1 year . Imagine if next year, the prime goes to $5000-$6000psf, do you expect the mid-end to move to $2500-3000psf ? If that happen, something is not right with the market as most mid-end salaried employee will not be able to afford. They will have to move to far edge of suburban and the low-end salaried move to Tekong or Ubi ?

To be realistic, in today's market even the current high end salaried employee ( exclude CXOs, top traders/bankers, top surgeons/lawers/architect ) will not afford to pay to stay in a $2500-$3000psf house unless they have a very good housing allowance from the company.

Yes would agree that gap between luxury high-end and mid-end market will increase if the super high end moves to $6Kpsf given that the resistance level for the locals is at $3Kpsf now. (makes me wonder how much higher this local resistance can move)
The same would definitely apply to the gap between mid-end and mass market. Expect the latter gap be even wider since gov would definitely step in to make sure the mass market is affordable so that we do not sleep in the streets.:lol:

mass market = HDB, low to mid range salaries
upper middle = leasehold/outskirt private apartments
rich = freehold city fringe private apartments
super rich = district 9 penhouses...

that should be more correct, i think mid range salary folks will just settle for HDB...anyway...80% of us lives in HDB dont we...

There are already sellers calling for $1500 for Parc Emily. :lol:

I tend to agree with you.

There is only so much the mid market level could follow the luxury high end market. There will come a poin when people realize that they are priced out of this market.

Parc Emily remains undervalued today. With the impending announcement of the outcome to the Peace Centre en-bloc deal, the completion of Wilkie Edge, the rejuvenation to this area will be the catalyst to further upward price revision not to mention the already sizzling Singapore-wide property boom. This is about the only sizeable freehold development in this area. There will be a point in time when the discerning market will adjust the price upward for this development to distinct Parc Emily from the rest of the developments in this region. $1500-$1600 psf is a realistic target.

Yes totally agree with you. Parc Emily could easily hit $1500-$1600 with any one of the above impending factors.

But would $1800-$2K be a plausible target when it TOPed?

Does anyone know when PE will obtain TOP? Officially, it's Aug next year but TOP should be earlier, right? Can't wait to move in.

I think 6 months before the actual TOP should be a fair gauge. Congrats for being an owner of Parc Emily. :)

Any recent photo updates for parc emily? havnt been to the area since we bought the unit..

Thanks, Surfers. No photo update but I checked out the site last Sat. The exterior's nearly all painted and the pool has been tiled. Spotted the cabinetry on the floors ready to be installed. The clubhouse's far from ready though and everything's still kinda messy.

Passed by Parc Emily last week. Not much different from the picture taken 2 months ago.

Does anyone know the ceiling height of the 8th floor units? When I looked at it on site, it looks 65-75% higher than the lower floors.

Those units facing the park doesn't have privacy. The park is on the hill top and can see through their window at eye level easily.

Those units facing the park doesn't have privacy. The park is on the hill top and can see through their window at eye level easily.

The only problem with Parc Emily is lots of units are facing the wall on its perimeter. Some of them are just 8-9 metres away. No sunlight, wind, etc. Those facing the park which is supposedly the best view has afternoon sun. Not many units has nice facing.

"Those units facing the park doesn't have privacy. The park is on the hill top and can see through their window at eye level easily."

On the other hand, they have no road noise and need not fear having a new condo built right in front of them. They have beautiful greenery to look at, not some concrete jungle like most places downtown, especially those on high floors. How many places in Singapore have those advantages?
[Not an owner...unfortunately! I still want to know what is happening to the old used-car lot though....]

In my opinions, the best facing units are :

1. Pool facing (fantastic, no car noise, privacy)
2. Niven Road facing (Get city view, unblocked but some car noise)
3. Park facing (greenaries, no car noise)
4. Used car mart facing (facing little india and near rubbish bin)

according to the brochure, I think the perimeter is adorned with water feature.. which can be nice and soothing..

I remembered not all the ceiling within the house have the high ceiling. Can't remember the height though.

Yes, water feature around the perimeter. There is also a man made waterfall at one portion.

Hi,

Shall we vote whether this development will reach $2000 psf within the next 6months ? (Y/N).

Hi,

I would vote yes but need some catalysts. I'm sure you guys know better than me on what these are.

Hi,

My two cents are:

1. 5 new projects launching soon. One called "Estillo" launching either this or next weekend at $1500-1700 psf. Wilkie Studio bt CDL launching Sept at at least $1800 psf. Guocoland Sophia Court enbloc soon. Two more enbloc site at Wilkie also waiting to be redeveloped. So much activities..

2. Freehold with FULL facilities. if i'm not wrong Parc emily is the only one. 8 at Mount Sophia is a 99 leasehold but location wise is better.

3. New shopping centre called Wilkie Edge just around the corner. Peace Centre, Parklane is going to be enbloc soon.

4. MRT, near Little India and Dhoby Ghout, new Circle Line.

Wonder if CDL will try to time their launch with the announcement of Peace Centre en-bloc deal. :)

If not, they'll probably have to watch closely on how well Estillo is selling at $1600 psf.

Just to add on nickey.

5. Proposed new downtown next run next to Parc Emily site.

6. Near to Bugis Entertainment hub and Education Hub.

Passed by Parc Emily last week. Not much different from the picture taken 2 months ago.

thks for the pic!
voting will be interesting, altho vested parties should either not be involved, or under a different pol.
:cheers: Might show some interesting results

Does anyone know the ceiling height of the 8th floor units? When I looked at it on site, it looks 65-75% higher than the lower floors.

if i remember correctly, some of the 8th floor units have a height of ard 6 meters.
we bought an 8th floor studio with the intention of creating a loft style unit.

any chance there will be a TOP party for parc emily like The Sail's?
:banana:

I'm vested in PE and my vote is 'Yes'. As a vested party, I'm keen to understand those non-vested party with a "No' vote.

Thanks your your vote and valuable feedback.

Wonder if CDL will try to time their launch with the announcement of Peace Centre en-bloc deal. :)

If not, they'll probably have to watch closely on how well Estillo is selling at $1600 psf.

I was on Wilkie Road last weekend and called CDL on the Wilkie Studio project only to get all "No" answers to the following questions. Just wondering why they placed the sign board with telephone numbers to handle enquiries when they are not ready to answer any questions. The developers are all benchmarking to maximise their returns.

(a) Indicative date of project launch > No idea;
(b) Indicative price > No Information;

On a separate note, will be nice if the shop houses on Niven Road start to operate like the Holland village retail with F&B and what not. Likewise if the Mackenzie Road stretch can be converted. Lots of development opportunity to be seen going forward

(1) Used Car Mart;
(2) Land plot next to MRT;
(3) Rex Theater;
(4) Old shop houses along Mackenzie;
(5) Selegie House

All these are wild cards to stimulate price reactions not to mention the outcome of Peace Centre/Mansion and Parklane. So any positive news on the above will bring prices closer to $2000 psf. Possible.

The old Rex Theater is currently a Discotheque.

No doubt I'm vested.

That's pretty high ceiling. Thanks Stingray for the info!

If PE has transacted at this level, it will push PE owners to revise their selling price above $1500 knowing that the nearly apartment projects are asking for $1500 and above. :lol:

Just went thru the brochure hoping to give a more accurate ceiling height, but there's no indication in it. Only "8th floor with high ceiling"..

I'm vested in PE too and altho am not that optimistic, like nickey, am keen to understand those non-vested party with a "No" vote too.
Even "yes" votes are welcome to instil more confidence yah?:nuts:

From the following picture, it does not look like 6m if we assume the standard height of 2.8m.

not too sure if ALL the eight stories units have high ceiling. i do know that the old car yard facing units have high ceiling, tho i cant remember the exact height. The showflat was built with the high ceiling feature, and i do remember that the height was definately enuff for a loft feature. Too bad it wasnt in the specifications..

I'm a fellow owner too.

I believe all top floor units have high ceiling, only at the living room area. The showflat did not have high ceiling, i'm sure cos i sneaked a few photos of the showflat then...

I'm of course glad the price has appreciated, but i'll probably hold the unit for some time. I love it due to its central location close to MRT, while at the same time offering peace and quiet amongst lots of greenery. Quite unlike many downtown areas densely built-up with lots of concrete jungle.

Hi Tyche,

the showflats have been changed and modified throughout their launch of different stacks. So using the same place, there were at least 3 changes to the showflats from 3 bedders and 2 bedders to studios etc.

Was there since their first day, but didnt buy until much later when they are marketing the studio units facing car yard. at that time, the show flat did come with a high ceiling for the living room, and i just asked my sister (who is a co-owner) what ceiling height was quoted by the agent, and the answer was a rather unbelievable 8meters. That's what i had "remembered" too, but thot it to be highly unlikely.

Congrats on your purchase btw and hope PE catches up with the vicinity..
Dont understand why it hasnt given its the only one which full condo facilities..

Hi stingraytan,

Dun worry. I'm sure prices will appreciate further with the potential of the area, being an arts and education hub. Also, with renewal of the shopping centres in the vicinity it will bring more vibe to the area.

hello stingraytan

tyche is right. the showflat did not have a high ceiling. there was only one conversion of the showflats - the three bedder to the studio. i'm very sure cos i have been visiting the showflat and site every other week since the launch.

don't think the ceiling is high enough for a loft too. better check that out?

cool...lots of future neighbours on this forum...

Was told by a friend that he had a loft done on a unit which had a ceiling height of only 5meters plus.. Tho the height on the loft is a little restrictive, he was quite comfortable with it..

I think the high ceiling is only in the living room area.

hi tyche

would appreciate it a lot if you can post pictures of the showflat here...so that my id could have a look...

These are photos of the 3BR showflat.

There was also a PE website set up by the developer with some photos and videos, but the website has been closed for some time, which is a pity. Wonder if we can request for the content from the developer so that the website can be maintained by the residents in the future.

very nice.. thks for the pics!
any 1 bedroom pics??

there were only the 2 and 3BR models back then. i think the 1BR model was added later. these are the only photos i have.

hi tyche

thanks so much! did you get a studio, 2 bedder or 3-bedder?

love the neighbourhood too. check out this other thread for info about the area.

anyone has the latest estimate of the TOP?

thanks for the pix. taken around the same time i was last there. it's coming along very nicely, isn't it? :banana:

i called the developer to find out about the TOP but they could not say. one property agent who called me asking if i wanted to sell told me that it would TOP at the end of the year and she said that she got the info from the developer. hmmm...

i hope she's right cos i've waited a long time.:old:

If that's the clubhouse still under construction netting in tyche's pictures, I think its at least half a year more before TOP ...

Yes, that's the club house in the picture. I think the TOP could be early next year. :)

Look like a nice neighbourhood.

yes, it is a great neighbourhood. very near town and yet away from it all. there's a lot of history there too and so near the museums and surrounded by old buildings. that hill's a great place to explore actually.

i also like that it's between the orchard and little india areas. very happening if you are into history, culture, architeture, etc.

it's kinda sleepy at the moment but i see a lot of potential there actually. i understand there are a lot of plans like the arts enclaves. hopefully, they'll turn into reality soon. does anyone know if they are going to do anything with the shophouses along niven road.

can't wait to move in... :soon:

Yes, it does seems like a nice retreat from the busy city life. :)

Did you get a 3 bedroom as well?

hi tyche

i had a fall and tore some ligament. won't be able to walk for a while. if you do go to the site to take pictures, would you pls post them here so that i can see how it's coming along?

^^
oh dear.. better have a good rest..
which facng studio did you get?
i got the one facing the car yard.. wonder what's the plans for that site in future..

thanks, stingraytan

mine faces the fountain walk. i was won over by the picture in the brochure. the one with the lady reading a book by the window as the waterfall runs outside. hopefully, it'll be as nice in reality.

the used car yard? another condo devt if the owners ever decide to sell or develop the site. it does stick out a little but it'll be quite cool if they deal in vintage cars like autobahn, a car dealer which is further up bukit timah road.

hi oolingo,

hope u get well soon...

will post more photos if i pass by over the weekend.

Only difference I can tell are the palm trees next to the pool, looks like still some way to go...

The showroom for Wilkie Studios at the former PE showroom seems completed and should be launching soon. Managed to snap a shot of the model from the door...

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x265/tyche007/CIMG0597.jpg

I then visited the Estilo showroom at Wilkie road. Its 70% sold with only 1 bedders left going for about $1.5 to 1.6k psf.

wow... thanks for the pics and updates!!
went there last weekend, but the showflat for wilkie studios not opened yet..
with the funky new building of la salle in the area, cant wait for the area to finish undergoing the revamp!!

I heard from an agent saying Parc Emily TOP estimated to be around January 08. Anyone can confirmed ?

Cant wait to move in...:)

actually, wilkie studios look kinda cool too.

does anyone know what's happening for the peace centre/ parklane/ paradiz en bloc?

Breakeven price for developer at $1300psf.. guess that's a floor price for units in the area?
But 7 stories.. will that have any effect on the views for parc emily?

Freehold site at Wilkie Terrace up for sale

By HAN MIN CHUNG


A FREEHOLD site on Wilkie Terrace in the vicinity of Mount Sophia has been put on the market.

The site belongs to a family-owned investment company, and thus, unlike an en-bloc sale, the sale of the property is not dependent on a Strata Titles Board's order of sale. The buyer will have vacant possession on completion of the sale.

Located at 7 to 11 Wilkie Terrace, the area has a potential gross plot ratio of 2.1. A seven-storey apartment block with some 30 units of boutique residential suites averaging 865 sq ft each could be built on the 13,209 sq ft site.

Credo Real Estate, which is handling the sale, said it expects to receive offers ranging from $22 million to $24 million, reflecting a land rate of $797 to $868 per sq ft per plot ratio, inclusive of an estimated development charge of about $120,000.

The successful developer's break-even cost would likely be $1,290 to $1,375 psf and units there may fetch about $1,600 psf.

'This property is suitable for building a seven-storey apartment block comprising some 30 units of boutique residential suites with an average size of 865 sq ft,' said Credo Real Estate managing director Karamjit Singh. 'Such two-bedroom units enjoy strong demand from students of the (nearby) Singapore Management University and single expatriates.'

He said that the buyer could also build service apartments or a boutique hotel, if approval is given.

'The location is popular for its close proximity to the strategic Dhoby Ghaut MRT station, educational institutions and both Orchard Road and the Raffles Place,' he added. 'The upcoming Wilkie Edge development is set to further enhance the vibrancy of the area,' said Mr Singh.

Is it under the deffered payment scheme? If it is, then it makes sense to build faster and collect payment! Who doesn't want to make money? Unless it is under the progressive payment scheme..:weird:

It might also depends on which financial year the developer wants to have the revenue recorded in the books. If they have enough revenue to meet their budget this year, they might want to TOP next year so as to have an easier time next year to meet their target revenue. Anyway, this is just a guess as only they would know ....

From what I have heard, most buyers brought with progressive payment. :)

Looks like privacy has been sacrificed for some of the units.

ermm.. not if the yard of A is facing yard of B right?
I mean if bedroom of A is facing living of B, privacy may be an issue..
Or do you mean the distance from MT Emily to the condo?

I mean from Mt Emily to the condo beyond the fences, as seen from these photos taken by John. In some of the units, you can have a stalker peeking into your unit or have a friend yelling through your opened bedroom windows to see if you are at home. :lol:

Precisely beacause Parc Emily is close to MT Emily, then can we get so many fabulous photos by fellow forumers!

Just called the developer. Got a non-committal reply but said that it'll likely only top next Jul/Aug. :ohno:

tyche, sure hope you're right.

thought they should be able to say when TOP is by now. my friend who bought a unit at the calrose (which will TOP in Dec) said her developer was able to tell her in June that her place will TOP in dec.

was reading the thread for citylights (which will also TOP in dec) and some of the forumers who own a unit there said they've received a letter informing them of TOP. excelsvr, you should know. :)

anyways, i was in the parc emily vicinity earlier today and dropped in to have a look. didn't bring my camera though so no pics. but looks like there has been much progress. managed to look into some of the units and saw that the interiors are painted and the air-con units installed. in one unit, a worker was putting up the cabinets. the outside was a hive of activity and the exterior wall facing the caryard's up.

so, i hope you're right, tyche. in mar 08, i would have waited three years to move in already.

oolingo, very observant hor! :D Anyway welcome to the forum! (Though I'm newer than you :lol:) Do contribute more! Phtos are always welcome.
P.S.- My friend has a unit at The Calrose off Yio Chu Kang Road. You own a unit in Parc Emily? Congrats. It is a nice and beautiful development. In fact, all developments are beautiful :lol:

Took them myself. Well, in the 2nd picture, the walls are already erected but don't know what other things the builders will do to it to enhance the facet.

Yes for the third picture, they are unveiling the protective films to the windows.

I don't know what else they could do to the wall erected. It looks good already! Atleast it's not like Citylights fence, it's those cheapo and flimsy ones. Anyway are you a resident-to-be at Parc Emily?

Yes, I have a unit in Parc Emily. I am curious about the water curtain features at the perimeter of the compound... Wonder how they will turn out when done...

Should be good, right? Maybe some cascading water like the entrance at Citylights?

that's one of my main concerns too! Cant wait to bring interior guy into unit to see what they can do with the "high" ceiling... :cheers:

Make a loft?

I am outside the country and like to know if some one would like to share the current progress - Thanks.

You have a unit @ Parc Emily?

Sorry, but no photos :)

Yes I bought one last year in June. Builders are not willing to share how early it will be completed. Thanks to the members who have taken pictures and shared them with all of us. By looking at the pictures it looks almost completed. How much it is done inside the building could be another story. I am asking if someone has inside story or someone is willing to share their recent pictures their efforts will be greatly appreciated by all of us and specially me. Thanks again.

Go to Mount Emily Park and peek in side :D

hi suhy

i was at the site today. no pictures cos i wasn't planning to be there and didn't have my camera with me. don't think it has progressed much since those pictures by jedimaster were taken. they are filling up the pool with water and i saw workers inside the apartments. the water feature at the entrance is being tiled.

called the developer up and asked if we have a top date and he said that he would be able to tell us at the end of this year. that is when the interiors are completed and they'll be able to apply for top. he said that it should around june or july but if all goes well, top will be in apr or may. i'm still hoping that it'll be earlier but i have a feeling that top will be no earlier than apr cos that's after fy07.

Nice update ^^

Not much updates? I think not. The updates are...






In the units! All the fittings and stuff :D

Nice update.

Swimming pool looks good.

Blocks look completed too.

The glassy clubhouse looks unique too.

Is it dual level?

Thanks for the pics.. the water feature walls are looking good!

Anybody knows what is the funny grey and white block behind the clubhouse? :lol:

Feature wall.

Anybody knows if this is the final look for the feature wall behind the clubhouse?

Feature wall.

The one with the chess thingy? I think so.

hi hi... anyone know when it TOPs? Its been a long wait man... can't wait to move in ...
any updates on the development since Oct ? CDL is launching a new Wilkie Studios at the old showflat of Parc Emily. I think it shud be in the region of $1700psf and above.

Some forumners predice March next year.

Hi xianzhi,

Congrats on your purchase. There's a unit below mine asking for $1800psf for a studio, but i think the lodged caveats are still around the $1300-1400 psf range for parc emily.

So that is what the owner is trying to get. Any prices above that?

hi,
I am so happy to have found this thread and as pleased as punch to have been able to view the photos that some of you have so generously shared!
I called the loan officer at my bank about a month ago to enquire about the TOP date, since I'm on the deferred scheme, and asked when the approximate TOP date would be. They told me January 2008. I don't know how accurate that information is though. Have any of you taken new photos of the development?

Best Regards.

Nice. Do you own a loft unit?

Well, I don't know if the TOP date is January 2008, because some forumners here like stingraytan and oolingo predict March next year ;)

No, nothing so spectacular. Mine is just a 1 bedroomer on the ground floor.
March is probably the more likely date since my information is a month old.
If the pool has been filled, though, that's usually a sign that the developers are preparing for the inspection. After that it's just a matter of how long BCA takes to grant approval.

hi amica, glad to have you in the forum. is your unit for stay or for investment? asking cos i'm curious about the profile of my future neighbours.
i called the developer a couple of months ago and was told that we'll have the top date by the end of year. the pool's been there for a while but it was filled with dirty water the last time i was there.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
I would like to stay there, it's perfect for me, being near to work, near to the library, near to IT stuff, and right on the NEL to my current home. However, I may continue staying with my folks (I'm single) and rent it out. Haven't really made up mind yet. And you?

i bought it for stay too. love the area, being so near to the places i love e.g. plaza singapura, the former mgs now old school, museums... i'm also on the nel currently...looking forward to having you as a neighbour.

Yes, the area has a great history. I hope the vision of the surrounding area becoming an arts hub is realised, and efforts are made to keep the charm and historical feel of Mount Emily. I took a walk in from Plaza Singapura a couple of weeks back. It was a pleasant 10 minutes. Hope that row of peranakan-looking shophouses is restored and our neighbourhood becomes a small, thriving place with character. So many places that attract developers become clusters of clone developments so typical of other places in Singapore. Little restaurants with good food and nice ambience would be nice for that area. No used car lot. I live in hope. Look forward to your being my neighbour too.

an agent told me that the shophouses along niven road have been gazetted for conservation. all that will come in time. wish top will come soon. can't wait to get in there and decorate the interior.

oooh yes. I've been dreaming about that for a long time.
I've seen a few new places for home decorating in the magazines recently. All off the beaten path though.

hi guys, i'm also the proud owner of a unit at parc emily. just took a walk around the area last night, really like how quiet and local it is. I think it must be one of the few places in district 9 that is still very "singaporean"...i hope it remains this way for the forseeable future!

That area, around Parc Emily, is gazetted to become an arts and cultural place, so the buzz may arrive soon :(

^^ i was wondering how to I post pictures here?
Do i really need to upload on internet first?

yes, i think so.

this is what i did.

1. set up an account at flickr
2. uploaded my pix there
3. looked up 'properties' of pix and copied url of pix
4. clicked on 'insert image' icon here
5. pasted url of pix in the pop-up box

and that was it.

all the best.

^^ i was wondering how to I post pictures here?
Do i really need to upload on internet first?

Go to www.photobucket.com, then create an account. After that, upload what ever picture you have.

Then, they will give you the direct link.

After which, you just enclose it between the and the .

So basically it goes like this :

the url .

Wow wow :D

Thannks for the updates oolingo. The entrance feature and the signage looks nice! I like the tiles for the water feature. Every thing looks to be completing soon. So TOP should be next March like many forumners here predicted.

Oolingo,
Thank you so much for the photos:lol:. Looks like the project is nearing completion. I hope the timber flooring looks good and the finishes are of high quality. Can't wait to look at the inside of my apartment.

Nice sunflower avatar you have :D :D

I went by to have a look at the development on Sunday. Unfortunately since I was alone, I didn't dare venture into the site or even too near to it. Have linked the photo of the outside from Mount Emily Road. Pathetic, I know.....
If any brave soul has ventured in or gotten a look inside the apartments, please share!!!

Thanks
P.S. Do we get to make requests on which blocks to shoot? (*hopeful*)

Nice updates. I particularly like the glass clubhouse and the full glass panels ;)

Nice development ;)

Thanks very much for that effort. It is very, very much appreciated. :)
BTW, which is the block behind the wall that says "Fire Engine Access" ?

oh my! oh my! thanks, ahlipp! the photos are fabulous. how did you manage to get such good shots? the last one looks like it was taken within the development. how did you manage to get in?

amica, i think that block's block 7.

Ahlipp sneaked in? :sly: :lol:

Thanks folks...

& yes i confess :gossip: ... i sneaked in on a lazy sunday afternoon believing that the safety officer might be taking his afternoon nap... i was right

the last two photos were taken from the inside. frankly when u are inside... feels quite spacious and cosy and once the protective blue laminate gets peel off, it will expose the much cleaner green glass facade (like the block on the right of this pic)

Woah..

Security so lax?

visited the site today. wandered around the perimeter but didn't muster the courage to sneak in. nearly asked the uncles (who look like singaporeans) if they would allow me to go in but didn't in the end.

things are moving kinda slowly... wonder what's holding the progress back...

i've been following the citylights thread and it appears that even if the development obtains top, it could still take a while for the residents to obtain their keys. sigh!

really hope to move in by june.

Hi,

Went by Parc Emily with a friend today but security would not let us in. Perhaps someone is following our thread? In any case, managed to persuade a resident of Emily Residence to let us go up and have a peek at Parc Emily. Did not have my camera on me though. They have laid the walking path and the exterior seems practically done. Could see the workers in the interiors of the units working hard on the floors. Someone at the site told us that TOP is likely to happen in March 2008. I guess we just have to get through the festive season first and wait....

amica.

P.S. Is it my browser or have the photos posted by ahlipp disappeared?

Mt Emily evoked memories of my school days period and its tranquility . The place boasts an abundance of spiders, afternoon of lapping practice at swimming pool and the hunting ground for seeking the friendly Methodist girls.

The now defunct staircase that short cut to the Cathay, where the humming activities of canal lined hawker stalls, Indian mama store facing the cinema and the row of aquariums shops with the interesting tropical fishes.

Well, TOP in March isn't that bad looking on the bright side. Citylights, on the other hand, TOP in December 07, so when we want to do up the place, workers have all gone back to their hometown for the festive season. So we are 'condemned' to moving in in March, which is about the same TOP date as Parc Emily ;)

hi, amica. it could be your browser. the pix are still there for me.

did you go there in the evening? it was so sunny (it was lunch time) when i was there that i managed to acquire tan lines on my arms. the uncles (the ones who look like singaporeans) looked amused when they saw me wandering around with my camera. they must get lots of people like us there. hehe...

the worker i spoke to said the blocks at the back have been completed and it's just the blocks at the front now.
the exterior's almost done but i think there will be lots of cleaning up to do. and they're ploughing the earth up the slope next to mount emily park.

don't think they've started work on the fountain walk either.

i remember all that too. unfortunately, they are all gone. you've gotten me all nostalgic...

met my ex-schoolmates at the former mgs campus for dinner on fri night. it's now an arts enclave called old school. there are two eating places there - recess and bistro gaga. we had a lot of fun wandering around the grounds and reminiscing over the good old days.

well, it's now home to artists like chua ek kay. wykidd song's there too together with wee khim and mark law photography. the former canteen is now an exhibition hall.

and there's cinema which screens only singaporean films called sinema. check out their website - www.sinema.sg/oldschool/.

it'll be a lovely neighbourhood to live in.

on another note, i don't think paradiz centre's going en bloc, not when they are doing alterations to it.

wonder if the outdoor band still performs there. i enjoyed sitting on the steps at the top of the escalator and listening to them.

Paradiz is going for a makeover. Peace Centre still have a chance. :D

Hi Oolingo,
Thanks for the 'inside' information and photos. I was there about four-ish. It was drizzling then. Walked right up to the security post and told the guard I wanted to take a look. He rolled his eyes and said 'Everybody wants to have a look', then told me that we weren't allowed to go inside. My unit is on the ground floor. I wonder whether the developers will let us know early what kind of awnings/canopies we are permitted to install. I guess besides the cleaning up, there will also be the landscaping to be done. I'm just ultra excited.

I have fond memories of Cathay cinema and for some reason especially of the kacang putih stand. Somehow kacang putih eaten out of paper cones tasted really gooood.

P.S. Tweaked my firewall and voila... the pictures re-appeared.

A Merry Christmas to all my future neighbours at Parc Emily and all other forummers too. Cheers.

It just occurred to me... should we set up a Yahoo! or msn group for Parc Emily residents? That way we can speak as much as we like about the development and share our experiences without cluttering up Skyscraper city. If there's a demand, I'll set it up. Let me know!

Cheers,
amica.

I thought we arenot allowed to put canopies or awnings above the Private Enclosed Space? I think I read somewhere that the GFA of a condo is most likely maximised already and adding an additional awning or canopy will exceed the GFA. Of course this doesn't happen to all condos so you can try asking the Management when Parc Emily TOP ;)

i think it'll be cool to have the yahoo group. i think excelsvr's right. don't think canopies'll be permitted cos they change the exterior of the building. but still, do check.

ahh. if only top is here. :soon:

Sometimes, the developers imput the canopies for us. For example, in Costa Del Sol, the developer has installed a green canopy above the PES. Similaly, in Citylights, the penthouse balconies (or Roof Terraces) come with trellises above it.

You never know if CDL will imput canopies over the PES so just wait and see ;)

Dang. I already ordered a timber deck a year ago.:ohno: Our tropical weather may not treat it too kindly.

On the forum issue, maybe, as a friend pointed out, we should wait until management sets up a forum comprising residents only, since alot of other forums get 'infiltrated' by outsiders and naysayers.

Am estimating TOP 12 weeks from now. Let the countdown begin.

How many bedrooms did you bought? Is it near the pool? Timber deck would look nice. :)

I think the timber deck can still come in use. Should be allowed right... I'm planning to install a timber deck in my planter so that it looks like a pseudo balconey.

Love your optimism. Yes to 12 weeks to TOP!

Dang. I already ordered a timber deck a year ago.:ohno: Our tropical weather may not treat it too kindly.

On the forum issue, maybe, as a friend pointed out, we should wait until management sets up a forum comprising residents only, since alot of other forums get 'infiltrated' by outsiders and naysayers.

Am estimating TOP 12 weeks from now. Let the countdown begin.

Don't be disheartened, you can try to apply to the Management when you collect your keys. Your timber deck may not go to waste after all!

Maybe we should update how many weeks left after each week passes. Heh. Cheers to the Parc Emily owners out there!
