I think I told you already that something was happening on Delta Road, next to the Jervois Jade.
It seems that this development is taking shape very rapidly, but there is still not much info available. it is even not referred on the URA website !!!

I failed to realize at first that it is not next to Seiclene House, it is actually where Seiclene House used to be !

Here are some so-so pics I have of Seiclene House.

(the one at the front)

I called the thread like this as I don't know the project name, maybe someone can call the number on this pic and ask ;-)
http://ssc.singapenguin.net/05/050410_seiclene_house03.jpg

FYI, Jervois Jade is 18 storeys, so this one should be significantly taller.

I think this project is called Domain21.

Its on URA's site isnt? I thought I saw the name there before.

btw I thought I remember seeing something that looked like a showroom near the site

Might be this one. I found a reference to a Domain 21 condo project on Delta Road, but with 138 units and not 141... I didn't see any showflat :-/ And it's not on URA website (or I couldn't find it). Wtf ?!?

haha..call up the number on the fence to enquire? :D

I may ^^

I tried calling up that number before but it wasnt working. This was back in January....

8113 9300

This is really going to be Domain 21.
I think we can change the thread's title now ;-)

http://ssc.singapenguin.net/05/050511_domain21.jpg

i guess it looks decent. a bit like pinnacle 16

nice and glassy

and i see that its started construction ^^

Thanks for the picture. Just received a sms from Knight Frank about this project this morning.

141 units (1-4 brs). So far, viewing is strictly by invitation only. Wish the name could be more original than to name it "Domain 21".

Seiclene House, public apartment?! :cry:

I thought Seiclene House used to be a factory?

@hya, I agree on the name...it just sounds like a club or something other than an apartment

More choices in riverfront living ahead

Domain 21 to be launched at an average of $650 psf

By ARTHUR SIM

COME this weekend, more people in Singapore will be able to consider riverfront living.

http://business-times.asia1.com.sg/mnt/media/image/launched/2005-07-28/asdomain28-214229.jpg

Kheng Leong Co, veteran banker Wee Cho Yaw's private investment vehicle, will be launching the 141-unit Domain 21 at an average of $650 psf.

Located near the junction of River Valley Road and Jervois Road, the development is by the Singapore River and is next to a park connector that will link it to Robertson Quay, Clarke Quay, Boat Quay and even Marina Bay.

Domain 21 is a 99-year leasehold property - hence the price - but its marketing consultant, Knight Frank executive director (residential department) Peter Ow, believes that the higher rental yield due to lower prices makes it very attractive.

'The lease is not an issue here because it is in a very good location,' he added.

Other features include a deferred downpayment scheme and an open island-counter concept kitchen. 'You only see this in high-end developments costing at least $1,000 psf,' said Mr Ow.

For potential owner-occupiers, Domain 21 also represents an affordable option in riverfront living. Generally, the closer you get to the city, the more expensive it gets.

Recently launched Rivergate at Robertson Quay by City Developments Ltd and Hwa Hong Corp will cost about $1,080 psf. Hong Leong Holdings Watermark, also at Robertson Quay, is selling at an average $900 psf.

These developments are no less desirable - Rivergate has sold about 200 out of 545 units so far - but are certainly targeted at the higher-end of the market.

Also coming up at the Robertson Quay enclave, where the former Trademart and warehouses once stood, is HPL's Robertson Blue. It is understood that the residential development has already been soft-launched. The average asking price is not known but is expected to be around $1,000 psf as well.

If the River Valley vicinity is where you want to be, but you still have some budget constraints, then instead of going further upriver, moving away from the riverfront also makes prices more affordable. Guocoland's newly launched 97-unit Leonie Studios in Leonie Hill - going for an average $880 psf - is still within easy reach of the Singapore River.

Rvierfront? :hilarious

Mini-river la... :D :lol:

Other features include a deferred downpayment scheme and an open island-counter concept kitchen. 'You only see this in high-end developments costing at least $1,000 psf,' said Mr Ow.

Mr Ow, what is an "open island-counter concept kitchen"? If it is what I think it is, then I have seen these kitchens in the showflats of Parc Emily, 8@Mt Sophia and even in City Square Residences! Not exactly $1,000psf territory is it.

Anyway, I think the 99-year leasehold Domain 21 is a steal at $650 psf. It is on the southwestern fringe of District 10 and is technically still a District 10 property, but your view will be of the old HDB flats in the Delta/Redhill area. A good choice for HDB upgraders, as it is priced very competitively against rivals in the upgrader market located in less illustrious neighborhoods - City Square Residences (freehold) and City Lights (leasehold) immediately come to mind.

Rvierfront? :hilarious

Mini-river la... :D :lol:

more like drain ^^

Isnt that like some "dry kitchen" breakfast table?

Just change the layout and slap a concept to it :D

more like drain ^^

exactly!!! :rofl:

"COME this weekend, more people in Singapore will be able to consider riverfront living."

Drain-side living!!!!!! :hilarious :lol:

I think that will be painfully obvious to visitors to the showroom. If I recall, it is next to the "river".

Anyway this is a central location, with some good food outlets along River Valley Rd a stroll away. Also, the "river" isnt smelly.

"River" makes me laugh.....

An urbanised stream, more of a giant drain or canal....

To call the big drain by RiverGate a "river" also requires somewhat of a stretch of the imagination.

In light of the above, perhaps they should change the name of "RiverGate" to "Draingate"? :)

The pathetic upstream stretch of Sg River.... :(

Its not the best part of the "river" but does it seem like a good buy for $650/sq ft? Agents are saying that it will rent for $3 per sq foot. Perhaps if you get a high floor then you won't see much of the older buildings in the area.

I spoke to a friend at a foreign bank and their researcher thinks prices may rise 8% this year !?!?

Domain 21's developer Kheng Leong Group is the same developer for The Ansley. From what I know, the Kheng Leong Group is extremely good at marketing their projects... with very healthy profit margins too. Eg, They manage to market The Ansley at Mandalay Road as a prime Novena project, and even manage to fully sold out all the units at prime Novena prices, even when the actual site is closer to Balestier. That is no mean feat man! They are inflexible with price negotiations and although they do deliver their promise with a high quality development, they also somehow stinge on certain materials used in the development. Their models and brochures often look better than the actual development itself. They are still better than a lot of small developers... but with the backing of Mr Wee Cho Yaw, they definitely can do better.

Now, they are marketing Domain 21 as a River Valley project, even though the actual site is at Delta Road, nearer to Alexandra Road and the HDBs there. (Btw the URA zone the Delta Road site as Bukit Merah planning area, instead of River Valley planning area.) They can even turn the canal into a selling tool by saying that it is riverfront living! I just hope that Domain 21 will not be over-promised again.

Yup, Kheng Leong is WCY's private investment vehicle. This old fella is damn smart and a little ruthless when it comes to Kheng Leong's developments, playing solely on marketing, pricing, and people's emotions, as the locations aren't the really good ones - they may technically be prime district, but a little off the location. But at that attractive pricing, sure people will buy.

Although for his UOL developments, he has a bit more of a conscience when marketing them. Newton Suites, Novena Suites, One Moulmein Rise, Twin Regency - all excellent developments and safe, solid investments that were quickly sold out. The thing is, being as smart as he is, he still managed to get top-dollar for every single one of them. He often displays his acumen in the finance business as well, that's why he's so rich.

Been to the showflat today.
Very nice flat layouts, quality seems good, it looks a lot like Urbana except it's a lot cheaper. High floors should enjoy pretty nice views. Overall rather impressed. The main drawback, I would say, is the lack of connection with public transportation systems...
About 60% sold out. Still a few good units left.

any new stuff on the site?

Lots of activity, but not out of the ground yet, as far as I can tell.

http://img480.imageshack.us/img480/1472/domain25115il.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

did you visit its showflat? The river looks so yellow...

nah

but I noticed that after lots of rain, the river always turns this colour

btw those are massive support structures that I suppose prevent the wall from caving in from the river pressure

most likely... :)

Shall we not mock 'the drain' or make any disparaging remarks?

There are people buying into this condo for whatever reasons and such remarks arent pleasant.

On the other hand, there are people thinking of buying who may be grateful to be warned --- cuts both ways, right? Maybe it's best if people just say what they really think.

People can see for themselves if its a drain or not.

@asciano

pointed noted. I wasn't thinking much if it was a river or drain, just type out the thoughts without much thinking. Sorry if I had hurt those who bought a unit there. Will remember to use "river" in future.

I'm sorry to go on about this, but I think the point is important. Whether it's a river or a drain is a matter of perception, not of fact. And in choosing a property, such perceptions are all-important. See for example the discussion about the Iridium. I found that very enlightening, not because I agreed with what people were saying, but simply because I now *know* what people are saying. It's true that people [including me] could be a bit more careful about how they express themselves, but it's not out of line to point out that it is a bit of a stretch to talk about "riverside living" in this context......I do hope that people will continue to point out the pros *and* cons of each development. And I don't think that we need to hold back when discussing commercial buildings!

Agreed. I do think Domain 21 is a very nice development but marketing it as 'riverside' sounds a bit exagerated :-) It's more a marketing strategy mistake than something wrong with the building, actually :-)

http://ssc.singapenguin.net/06/060206_domain21_01.jpg
In the background there is a worship place under construction.
On the right of it, just behind Jervois Jade, land has been cleared and work is underway on a Centrepoint Homes project. Some ugly residential lowrise used to be there before. I'm not sure what is the name of this project but we should know soon, the showflat is almost finished and the board is up and waiting for a picture to be laid on it :-)

http://ssc.singapenguin.net/06/060206_domain21_02.jpg
A pic taken from the ground, gives a better idea of the progress (quite slow).

Thanks for those updates :-)

I find the design of the church rather interesting...and as for that other residential projects...I guess it cant be much taller than this...there probably is a limit on the site.

Yes I'm expecting something in the 12-20 storey range too ;-)

http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/2376/domain04039ka.jpg

somewhat reminds me of the Cosmopolitan. :D

In fact many new apartment designs seem to have these stilt-like designs....which might be desirable as many of these are located near the main road...I guess they offer some form of privacy.

which are the ones? I could only think of the Cosmopolitan.

Newton Suites & Leonie Studio...all pretty near the main road

Legs following in the footsteps of Ritz-Carlton Millenia? :lol:

Pun intended. :lol:


To lift the building off the ground, minimise noise disturbance and makes the ground floor recreational areas windy?

Any update on this project?

Huh... Not from me, sorry, I moved quite far away from it ^^

hey I drive past here almost everyday... and lemme just say that the air around Domain 21 stinks like hell. Perhaps it is the Dua LongKang (big drain) or the Newater project nearby.... there's never a day that goes by without the smell.

I guess the stench is expected :)

Seriously it's not that bad, unless you're directly crossing the drain. Much better than near Tanglin Regency, actually. The one stench I always noticed is the Shell gas station, though ^ ^ But I suppose Jervois Jade is getting it all (especially their swimming pool -_- ).

Nice wrapping! :)

Domain 21 is coming up fast !
After selling in HK and Singapore, I think most of the units should be sold already ...

The reason why the building is tilted in this way is to avoid direct facing to the older condo opposite it ...

With a warehouse at the back, a "river" in front, an older, uglier condo opposite ... thats about the only way the developer can make do with the Domain 21 ...

The studio unit facing River Valley Road towards Cosmopolitan is nice ... except, they sold to the Hong Kongers at relatively lower price, thereby restricting any capital gain !

Haha!

Domain 2

Sorry for the error earlier. Domain 21 is sure rising up very fast. I'm sure other units have good views too.

Went to view this project last weekend. It seems that the project, like what Penggui said, is very well designed. The interior looks good too and surely the price too. The agent told me that the prices had gone up generally by about 8-10%. TOP should be around mid 2007.

Hi everyone! Any new updates on this project? Thanks

Just bought a unit there and the marketing people there told me that it will TOP in June 2006 - even can be as early as April. Passed by the building last Sunday and seems like they are constructing the top level already.

Will keep my fingers crossed, hoping that they can really TOP in June (or even April). Really looking forward to move in.

Finally found a neighbour. I also bought a unit at Domain 21 and am also looking forward to the TOP. Well, hope all goes well for this project. Cheers

It's certainly a nice shot. Great views too for those who are looking towards the river front.

Thanks...there's a lot of nice green space behind it if I'm not wrong :)

Just wondering if anyone has any update on Domain 21? Thanks.

From Tanglin Road:

It is still entirely under wraps so it is quite difficult to evaluate the progress.

it looks so bleak wrapped up like that

Why the different wrapping?

Eerrrmm ... TOP June 2006 ...

Think you meant 2007 right ?

I think they are installing the glass and the windows. Thus, I think it's still wrapped up. Really looking forward to see how it will look like!

@alek11: yes there's even some white paint job done at the base (this part is not wrapped) so I think major construction works should be more or less finished by now.

Taken one week ago....
http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/1248/domain21zt1.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

They are slowly unwrapping the entire project, now all of top section is unwrapped in one building.

Jrdl,

Did you invest in a property at Domain 21????? Just curious la......

Yes I did. Though at district 3, it is only one canal away from district 10, walking distance to RV eateries and GWC and 1-2 minutes drive to Orchard Rd.:)

Eerrmm ...

Sorry for being blunt ... but ...
Walking Distance to GWC ? --> walk quite far leh ...
1-2 mins drive to Orchard Rd ? --> u drive so fast meh ?

YFG ... ...

LOL:lol: .... to each its own..:) to me 15-20 mins stroll is walking distance. From River Valley Rd to Paterson to Orchard Shaw House (where I always park my car) is around 2 mins non peak period I believe. Guess I have to be more precise posting figures in this forum in future....:lol: :nuts:

TOP?????????

TOP?????????

Heard that TOP should be around early 3rd quarter this year.

thanks alex. 3rd quarter sounds good, they have water int he pool already and most of the kitchen fittings as well.

Have you gone into the apartment to see the fitting? How does it look?

Hi Rafflescity, nice pics! Really looking forward to how it looks after the netting has been removed.

Taller floors can see the Singapore Flyer rotate.....

Just past by today and more netting is coming off....Looking really nice. Have been in to see unit and fittings and only cabinets in so far.. but they are moving at a good pace.......

rafflecity , fantastic pic of Domain21 and the Flyer in the background. were did you take it from?

Thanks...it was taken from Redhill/Alexandra Rd....the actual view without zooming in on Domain 21 is this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/rotpics03/redhillview.jpg

RafflesCity,

Your picture seems to be taken from the Dawson Place area.

How many times zoom is the camera?

correct...I am using Nikon D50, the lens is a 18-200mm zoom lens...

$47,000 more is allot to pay for a 7th floor of the 01 series... Considering your view will be blocked by jervois Jade and One Jervois in the future. Do you think $860,000 is a good price for 22-03 with the roof top garden???

Rafflescity, anymore pics of Domain 21 ????? The last ones you posted were great...........

Thanks...I dont have anymore now...the next time when I am around Queenstown I'll try to grab a shot...it should have been totally unwrapped by then.

I'm also interested to know that too! I think showflat can lead us to something that we are not aware of!

One of two tower fully uncovered.
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u142/jrdlim/D21.jpg

looks like a painting :)

Under the ABC program (which stands for "Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters for All), the stretch of Alexandra Canal between Tanglin Road to Zion Road will be covered up and turned into a park. The park will have a small stream and other water features running along its length.

So in a couple of years' time, residents of Domain 21 will see a park downstairs instead of a canal.

There is an exhibition on ABC going on at the Asian Civilisations Museum at Empress Place. Free of charge.

The ABC website is at:

http://www.pub-abc.com.sg/one.html

For Alexandra Canal project :

Click "Explore the ABC water proposals in Singapore"

Click the central region on the map.

Click the "Alexandra Canal" spot.

Thanks Wees for such marvelous news.
http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/7750/abcoq1.jpg

Hi jrdl,

At the website, you could give feedback to PUB on the ABC proposals. Why not go online and tell them what you would like for the Alexandra Canal proposal?

You could also submit your name and contact number when giving the feedback, so that PUB might involve you in focus groups how to improve the various proposals.

I think the condos on the sides of the to-be-covered portion of Alexandra Road will appreciate, including Tanglin Regency, Tanglin View, Domain 21, Valley Park etc. These condos will have a brand new park just downstairs, instead of a canal.

Send in my feedback but dun think got time to be involved with focus group lah....:)

Very nice pics. Really looking forward to its TOP.

Great pics of the first unwrapped building! The canal project will be a boost for the properties surrounding it. But that is a big project, looking at 3 years plus...... But as an owner in Domain it is great news!!!!!

Hey Showflat, you haven't shared with us how you were able to gain entry into the apartment and look at its progress. Would you like to share it with some of us? Thanks

Just received a letter from the developer telling me that the expected date for TOP will be between June - August ------- huh???? Anybody can tell me what is the meaning of between June - August? My assumption is that it will be done batch by batch. Did I get it right? Tried to call the agent who sold me the unit but didn't really get a satisfying answer. Hope someone from here can enlighten me .........:soon: Can't wait to move in.

expect to get a permit from the authority, sometime the authority feels that something must be improved in order to give the permit hence developer doesnt want to commit a date. even TOP has gotten, there are still lots to be done in term of touching up.

the canal water. yucks.

the canal water. yucks.

Is this canal from the Singapore river ? If indeed it flows into Marina bay, just wonder how to drink this kind of water in future when the reservoir is completed.:cheers:

It will be cleaned up. At this moment, it does look horribly smelly too.

This canal originates from Singapore River.

After a rainy discharge, the river/bay and canals tend to be brownish....but I didnt come across any smell when I was there...this is going to become part of the reservoir..so it will have to be kept clean.

they are going to cover up this part of the canal right?

I thought they want to do up the banks so that it would look more inviting... part of the ABC Clean Waters projects by PUB for Alexander Canal.

^^

Yes I think there will be some design features like boardwalks etc to allow people to integrate more with the canal rather than avoid it...the renderings at PUB's exhibition looked appealing enough

I also received the letter for tenative TOP, I think they are covering themselves to give more time. The buildings look great but there is still alot of work to be done. Touch -ups etc.... I expect late June.

Anyone hear anything about the land behind Domain 21 on Prince Phillips, my agent told me it will be developed soon...

Hi, I've been trackin this thread for some time now and there hasn't been any updates for quite some time. Has anyone heard from the developers on the proposed TOP other than the June-August timeline ? And could anyone provide info / pictures on the interior of the apartment as well as finishing ? Much appreciated.

Thanks !:) :dance:

I would also be interested if anyone had any information on when TOP might be? The building looks ready......But unsure abou the interior.... Anyone out there know? Thxs

Anyone out there hear when TOP might be for Domain 21?????? I see it is now 100% sold....

TOP will be within the month of July. As for the 100% sold portion....I think it has been this way for a long long time. Every unit now is sub-sale. Been trying to contact the developers...but they keep saying that their busy and not in the office. It's so frustrating. Am thinking of calling the director personally.

Cheers!

I called Knight Frank today to pick for more information, they told me that certain unit have already be given TOP. They are slowing sending them out.... I called the developer they were no help...

It's always prudent to check out the reliability of the property developer before purchasing.
In a hot property now, there are arising number of non-property companies that start to come into the property market developing property to earn quick bucks.
I'm not sure if it's worth buying from them as you'll never know if they will commit to the property they sold.
Worst is if the market went down, and they go burst.

Domain 21 looks very nice with the extensive use of glass. I wonder if the glass creates some sort of greenhouse effect , or maybe the glass used are special type of glass that cuts down heat transmission?

Well, you shouldn't be calling Knight Frank anymore since they were just the marketing agents. You gotta call Kheng Leong Grp - which is Wee Cho yaw's investment arm, and if you know who he his or the projects developed by UOL, then u'd probably know that this was a safe property to begin with.

Next, the developer's Kheng Leong are pretty damn hard to reach, but i managed to speak to them today, and WHOALA, TOP is expected to be by the end of the week, if not , latest next week !

So all Domain 21 owners, it's time to get excited.

Hope to see all my neighbours soon. But i'll only be back in town in Sept. So till then, keep me posted on any new developments.

Thanks ya !

Yep, agree with you on that one Wees. I'm not sure how the glass will pan out in the long run, but i must say im a sucker for glassy artifacts. Only thing with such constructions is that they limit the residence to the type/color of curtains used, so as to maintain uniformity of the facade.

I'm still trying to find out more about the URA park / reservoir project...any idea on any firm dates on when and what's gonna happen ? Anyone ?

Hmm, I did not know that curtains are constrained so that the uniformity of the facade is maintained. I have been wondering why all the curtains in another project (Twin Regency) look the same ... now I know the answer.

Having 2 parallel sets of curtains will allow the facade's uniformity to be maintained, while the inside curtain can be very different.

The canal/park connector project is being spearheaded by PUB under their ABC Waters Programme.

I saw that improvement works had started at Kolam Ayer. Perhaps, Alexandra Canal will be next, as I saw that the old Zion hawker centre had been demolished?

Kolam Ayer ABC works

I really doubt anyone would "take to the waters" like was proposed in the ABC programme. Many residents remembered this section as a very smelly river in the past ....

Thanks Guys for the waterworks post. Hopefully the old chinese people can get away from mentalities and stigmas such as this. We have to have an open mind and be suceptible to change, embrace it if we must. The only constant, is change.

Attack !

:)

When do you guess residents will be starting to move into there units?

:banana:

Still no word on TOP for this project , walked by the building today and no work being done. Looks ready..... I did notice the second floor units have black tint on the windows as if they are being used for an office.. Anyone else seen this????


Looking foward to moving in!!

I called my contact in Kheng Leong to ask for the TOP 2 days ago since she told me last week that I should expect the TOP sometime this week. Unfortunately she was quite unsure about it now since they have submitted TOP application as well as all the certifications 2 weeks ago and have not heard anything.

I walked by Domain yesterday and noticed a bit of work here and there. Nothing major but some workers are still going up and down tower 21 while tower 23 looks pretty much ready. I saw the tinted window as well but don't know what it is for. Are we allowed to do that since in previous posting there is something mentioned that the outlook of the unit need to be the same - hence guideline even for the color and type of curtain.

Thanks for the info! Just seems like it is dragging on and on.. If anyone out there hears any more news on TOP let us know. I asked the security guard at Domain why the windows are tinted he said it is being used as a contractors office...:ohno:

Hopefully will hear good news by next week sometime!:cheers:

Are fridge and washing machine in the package? I saw delivery of Samsung fridge and washing machine to Domain 21 around 2 weeks back... doesn't seem like all unit have them...???

No Fridge was not included in units.... Maybe for Penthouse units.. Called developer today and was informaed that no TOP has been announced for this project, possibly not until August hey said..:ohno:

How about washing machine? Chinese seventh month is coming, do you think Kheng Leong is superstitious to delay TOP until after seventh month? :lol:

No washing machine either........ I hope they do not delay any further.....Right now the building is only collecting dust, not tenants.......:bash:

It's TOP finally. :banana: :banana:

Hi NewOwner,

Congrats!!! You must be very excited...By the way, how are you informed about the TOP? Did you receive a letter from the developer?

I can't wait to receive mine too! :)

Finally TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So hopefully will be moving in soon and seeing all my new neighbors!!! :nuts:

Hi NewOwner,

Congrats!!! You must be very excited...By the way, how are you informed about the TOP? Did you receive a letter from the developer?

I can't wait to receive mine too! :)

I received a call from the developer. I kept bugging them about the TOP and they promised to call me once they have the TOP.

Now I am bugging my lawyer to work on getting my key as soon as possible :soon:

New owners please take photos and post here ... we want to see how the interior and view looks like.

NewOwner,

How long before we can get the keys??

Congratulations to all the owners of Domain 21!!

NewOwner,

How long before we can get the keys??


You should contact your lawyer to get all the payments in order (stamp duty, bank loan, 6 months maintenance fee, etc.). Once you make all the payments, your lawyer will arrange for them to be sent to the developer and you can then contact the developer to arrange for the key collection.

All this should be done within 14 days of the date stated in the letter. Your lawyer is supposed to contact you as soon as he/she received the letter (mine sit on it for 3 days). If you plan to use some of your CPF money, the process will take slightly longer since your lawyer will need to arrange for the paperwork. Unfortunately you still need to get it done within 14 days otherwise the developer will charge interest.

Hope this help - it's a long answer to a short question. My letter is dated 24 July, so latest 7 August I will get my key. In time to beat the seventh month. :tongue4:

Newowner,
Thanks for the information! It was very helpful to hear, and I was surprised to hear that you have already received your letter, so mine should be on the way.... I will contact my lawyer as you suggested!

anyone else out there get the letter?

Thanks for the info!

Yes, I got mine thru the lawyer asking me to pay up the stamp fee.

Should be anytime soon!
:banana: :banana: :banana:

Also received my letter asking for stamp fee! So how long from this point til we get notified about the keys?

2 or 3 weeks? ???????

We had already waited for couple of months - does not really hurt to wait couple of weeks more - :bash: :bash:

The sooner you respond the better - as is normally the case. I paid the stamp fee on last Saturday and I will be collecting a package (probably the procedures to follow). Am collecting and settling it ASAP. As for the developer, they would want their money back soonest, too.

Good luck!

See u all at Domain21 before mid September, 2007!

:banana: :banana: :banana:

Hi, Owners,

The other thing I forgot to mention - you have to wait another two days if you issued your personal cheque - they need to clear it.

The better alternative would be to give them a Cashier's Order - I understand you get the keys immediately.

Any owners get there keys yet?????? Anyone been inside checked out the interior????

Got my key and started renovation. It's 2 bedroom unit and can't do much on the second bedroom since it is sooooooooooo small. I checked with the developer, so far only 12 folks collected their keys.

I have a feeling after being in the unit that the actual unit is smaller than the show flat. Is it possible?

Other than that, everything else look good - of course without all the "luxury" fittings and materials.

Are you in the 08 or the 07?????? Congratulations on the move -in..........

congrats on getting your keys. i always find showflats to be bigger simply because of the use of mirrors and lighting. also, showflats do not come with doors.

Domain 21's facade has lots of glass. Are the glass double-glazed or some other kind of glass to reduce the amount of solar heat going into the interior?

My two bedders is the 08 one. The size is 904 sqf with super small second bedroom. In the showflat they put mirror there so made it looked bigger. I am scratching my head now trying to make it a "proper bedroom". The actual floor size available after taking out the bay window and wardrobe (with door open) is 240 cm by 145 cm :ohno: :ohno: Any idea????

My unit is not getting any direct sun in the afternoon, hence can't tell whether it will be warm with all those glass windows. One thing for sure - the breeze is wonderful, both from the balcony and the planter area outside the kitchen.

A 2 bedder with bay windows + balcony + planter at 904 sqft is really small... if it includes a bomb shelter... I can imagine how small the second bedroom is. Why are our apartments getting smaller and smaller?

When I visit showflats, I'm always on the look out for knocked down walls, absence of doors and wardrobes, use of mirrors, etc to make the place look more spacious and livable.

Maybe you can try to have your bed (in your second bedroom) flush with your bay window to save some space... just a suggesstion...

I hope all units will be just as breezy as well. Normally if the windows of the house facing North-South direction, your unit should be breezy; provided they are not blocked. The best part about this development is it is quite a distance from the other developments - so more privacy.

As for the river, come two, three years, it should be cleared and covered up for a lovely garden.

I just had a look at the floorplans in my Domain 21 brochure. His stack 8 does not have a bomb shelter or even a storeroom. I think most of the space was eaten up by the living room balcony, the kitchen planter, the large aircon ledge, the RC ledge (what's that?) and probably the master bathroom with bay windows ledge and the "walk-in" warddrobe.

Hmmm.... I guess that explain's the small second bedroom...

I feel the developer could have catered more for the bedrooms rather than the Living/Dining area which is taking up almost half of the total floor area The smaller bedroom could be used as a toddler room or as a study/office.

I think the smaller bedroom could not be not be more than 9'-6" square by estimating the length of the bed (6'-3") shown on the floor plans.

One down sid is the lack of any storage space.. No bomb shelter, closets etc in the 08 series. But I do like the layout..


Congratualtions all new home owners!

Hi, All,

Got my keys - the bomb shelter is located in the stairwell.

I am in the studio unit and the finishing/furnishings are good enough for us. The studio unit is separated by a sliding door which you would normally kept open, thus the unit is much better than a normal hotel room - you have place to move around. The night view is great, too with so many neon lights in the neighbourhood. :nuts: :nuts:

Good for married couple with no kids or for elderly semi-retired couple like myself. Easy upkeeping of unit.

See you guys, soon!
Best Regards,

The "river" won't be there for long. Last evening, PM Lee mentioned that the Alexandra Canal at Dawson Place has been covered up and will create a linear park.

The covered park will extend all the way over Alexandra Canal until Zion Road.

Haha this will certainly cause the prices of Domain21, Tribeca and RiverGate to drop. They were marketed as river front homes!

cheers

Wait a minute - RiverGate I am not so sure.

Why not you go to Domain21 and see for yourself? With the ABC programme in place and the New Water unit nearby, how bad can it gets when it is operational? Use your imagination, my friend.
Best Regards,

I agree the planned development at the Alexandra Canal by PUB's ABC augurs well for Domain 21.

I have lately seen some Public works done at Alexandra Canal between Kim Seng Rd & Zion Rd, I wonder if the authorities has plan to create underpass Linking Kim Seng End of the Singapore River all the way to Delta Rd end of the Alexandra Canal. It will be great if they do.

Hi Neighbors,

Got my keys and in finally in my place, the views at night are amazing!!!!


With the improvments to the Canal in the coming years , the value of these properties will rise not fall......

Yes, so nice to be able to go downstairs and walk a few steps to find youreself in a park.

Yes, so nice to be able to go downstairs and walk a few steps to find youreself in a park.

I really enjoy the breeze (or strong wind). If you wish leave your front door open and the balcony sliding door open, my advice is that you should not have any vase or standing light which may topple.

At any time of the year, you don't get direct sun as the developement is sort of North-South facing.

COngrats to all new owners!!

I think this project turns out to be better than my expectation. It looks better than expected such as the facilities.

Hmm, I did not know that curtains are constrained so that the uniformity of the facade is maintained. I have been wondering why all the curtains in another project (Twin Regency) look the same ... now I know the answer.

Having 2 parallel sets of curtains will allow the facade's uniformity to be maintained, while the inside curtain can be very different.

I had checked with Condo Management regarding the curtains and she mentioned there is not constraint on colors for now.

Then won't the project look disorganised? The fact that most of it is glass makes me wonder... ...

cheers

excelsvr

How else was the project disorganized?

This is the time a condo looks the best, once occupied you will see all kinds of curtain/blinds, grills and the worst is cloth hanging at the balcony. At night u will see cold white lighting and ceiling fans..... a nice condo does not look nice anymore.

Somehow, it also looks eerie at night. And I thought management can limit the colour of the curtains?

Currently it is the seventh month and most people do not renovate or move houses during this month; lest they invites .... Another two days, it is the eighth month and therefore, owners and tenants will start moving in; unless they wanted to do some (minor) renovations.

I don't know whether some of our friends who made comments are aware of the facts or they are trying to downplay the value of this project; and those with a sound mind will agree with me that no one pays for a condo and not live in it; you still have to pay for the maintenance, you know.

I believe this forum is meant to keep owners and those who are interested in the development informed and is not meant for ungentlemanly remarks. There are people out there who comment on different curtain colors; if they are owners -bring it out to the management and if they are outsiders - why should they be bothered by all these issues; it does not concern them at all.

By this, I do hope that people will think before they "contribute" to this forum.

I truly agree with Greenhorn about his comment. I think we are here to discuss whether a developer had done justice to the development. As I said earlier, this development turns out to be better than my expectation.

Greenhorn, thanks for the update on the 7th month. Am coming back to town and was abit cautious on when i could see my apt for the 1st time, and i was told not to even open the doors till the 7th mth was over. Thankfully, it's gonna be over on sept 12 ? Is that so ? That'll be great if it is.

Anyways, as with everything, there are belivers and disbelievers. If you had bought a unit, then it because you like the place. :)

If you don't, then hey...maybe try another cup of tea instead.

But sometimes, a different view (negative remarks) also helps a little as it gives insight on how various members of the public view the project and hence, how it will affect the buyers market out there. So, i tend to listen to everything and take it with a pinch of salt.

On the otherhand, it's not good to start a bad mouthing war on derogatory comments either.

With regards to curtain colors, i'm sure the owners here....will eventually form a commitee of sorts and come to a common conclusion for the good of all.

See you neighbours soon ! Maybe we'll have a move in BBQ or something yea ? House partys ? Anyone keen ?

Cheers!

Thanks Greenhorn for the positive feedback!!! To all the haters out there, if you dont like it, than dont look at it. As for me this place has not only been a success finacially for me, but when I look at the amazing unblocked view I have every night it was worth it!


Lets be honest do you think City Lights, ' the human filing cabinet' will look any better after everyone moves in?????


:lol: :lol:

Finiancial Success ? Have you sold it yet Showflat ? I'm happy that it looks good on paper so far. But i'm afraid that the bubble is gonna burst soon.
Besides, have you looked at the number of listings for the apts since TOP ? It's incredible.

Anyways, let's keep our fingers crossed and hope the bubble doesn't burst so soon.

Cheers!

What do you mean by " the human filing cabinet " ?

I think what Showflat probably meant is that every condo or HDB flat in Singapore is a "human filing cabinet". Some can boast to own bigger "human filing cabinets" than others and others can boast to be "human filing cabinets with more glass and less concrete". Some people say their "human filing cabinets" give them nice unblocked views and others like their "human filing cabinets" because it is near the MRT. Some say their "human filing cabinets" are better than their friends' because it is located near a place with many other expensive and high-end-looking "human filing cabinets". :lol:

My parents-in-law and some of my relatives stay in "human shoe boxes" because they cannot stand living in a "human filing cabinet". There is no end to comparisons because human beings are all so different.

Human shoe boxes is Landed Housing is it?

cheers

Excelsvr, why do you mentioning City Lights TOP? You own one or several units there? If you did, good luck to you!

Yes I do but can't tell you the unit number:D So excited! Has Domain21's residents all moved in?

Hey folks, am finally back in town. D21 looks really really chic n nice at night, love the place.

Has anyone moved in yet ? Don't think i'll be moving in till mid-oct.

Anyways, any ideas on what's the best way or what kind of material to use to conceal the shower from outsiders ?

One last thing...the gym is somehow lacking in a free-weights rack don't you think ?

Hey,

I fully agree with you. It looks good and the view is excellent. Btw, I've already moved in. You can use roller blinds for the washroom. I agree that there should be free weights in the gym but I think they are worried about the little ones getting injured.

Tsst! Then keep the free weights out of bounds to the children!

Tsst! Then keep the free weights out of bounds to the children!

How would you propose doing that when you don't have anyone on duty? What if someone is injured? It's all glass throughout and I think the management is just worried that if someone might just accidentally break the full length glass windows.

For example, put a survelliance camera outside and put a sign that says "all children must be accompanied by an adult".
It is possible but IMO, this thing may spark controversy.

For exterior design, out of 10, I will give D21 a 8 and Citylights a 4. Citylights look very "cheapish" in comparison.

Well can't help it. Citylights was not one of those "luxury developments" as Capitaland released this when it was still not giving full participation in the market. Nontheless, Domain 21 looks better because it is cladded in glass.
IMO, for exterior design I would give Domain21 a 9.5 which Citylights 6. But the bad thing about Domain21 is that it does not have full condominium facilities whilst Citylights has.

cheers

Domain 21 has no tennis court? I didn't notice this when I was at the showflat last year.

I thought Domain had full condo facilities? What is it missing? How many units is City Lights?
My definition of full condo facilities is swimming pool, tennis court and at least a clubhouse. The only thing Domain21 is missing is the tennis court. Btw, Citylights has 600+1 units.

Do you include a shop? Bigger developments have at least a shop.

Nah. A shop is not necessary.

Anyone can recommend any good places to go have blinds / curtains done ?

I do agree that you should set a limit to the age of kids goin into the gym, and this can be governed by the guardhouse folks. Anyways, the current practice is to draw the key from the guardhouse if u wanna use the gym right ?

I don't like the idea of kids running ard the gym distracting u. Besides, there's not enuff space in the gym for kids to run ard.

Maybe we can raise up this issue to knight franck or something.

It is almost the mid of the Lunar Eighth month and like I said, most of you would have noted the hive of activities there - people moving in, renovating the homes and showing the homes to their relatives and friends and some even thrown BBQ.

While there are still unnecessary comments and remarks, some complimentary,
we must noted that this is a small development - 141 units and I believe the buyers know what they are in for - what they are getting. For myself, I am very happy with what I had expected; some minor hiccups though.

For some standard curtain colors, now is that necessary. That guy who brought it up is not sick of wearing school uniforms, army uniforms, work uniforms and now is expecting the curtains to be uniform colored. Please tell me which condo development is controlling the tenants to have standard color.

To all tenants, for the first quarter, please have blue curtain; 2nd quarters, red curtain, and so forth. How do you like that? For some owner like myself, I am "feng shui" conscious and maybe certain colors does suit me at all. I repeat, for those who are non-owners, please stop making unnecessary remarks.

Thank you and if I offend anyone, my apologies.

Hey! Well said. Where on earth got time to coordinate colours. Wow, we might as well move in to a service apartment where all the walls and curtain colours will be done for you. As for me, I'm very happy with the management and the facilities. My relatives even raved about the swimming pool when they were here.

Well said Greenhorn!

To all my neighbors hello! I am sure I have seen some of you around the facility at the pool in the lift etc.. I am very pleased with the outcome and the management as well.

I found a great person who makes cushions for bay windows if anyone is interested.

I finally moved in .......... (yup, like some of other owners in Domain 21, I tried to move in only after the seventh month). Wanted to move in earlier but got an earful from my elders about moving in during the ghost month - so for the sake of "world peace", its better to just listen to them. Also, if it is not too much of an inconvenience, why tempt fate :tongue4: :tongue4:

Anyway, very happy with the building and the building manager is very helpful. The only unfortunate thing is the guess bedroom which is very small (I am only on a 2 bedder). But - after incorporating inputs from some of you in this forum, I managed to do up that particular bedroom into something useful ............. big THANKS :banana: :banana: :banana:

The next million dollar question to my other owners in Domain 21, do you receive tons of flyers slipped in under your door? I wonder how these companies manage to access our floors without the access card. Or is it something perfectly normal for a new development? I never have that problem in my old place.

My suspicion is that agents are doing all these. They might be bringing tenants to view the apt on lease or sale and quietly took the opportunity to slip flyers under your doorstep.

Any new owner intends to have an "open house" on perhaps a Sat or Sun afternoon (maybe 1 hour) for interested forummers to take a look at Domain 21?

Hi, NewOwner,

Currently, the stairs/bomb shelther is accessible by anyone who managed to pass through the Main Security. He/she can then climbed to the Units and slipped those flyers in.

Once Domain21 is fully occupied, we can then formed our own committee and brainstorm these issues.

Excelsvr, probably you are someone with nothing to do - sticking your opinions - though some pros - in every project forum - Draycott 8, EuroAsia, Ten@Suffolk, Gardens@Bishan - just to name a few (I can even give you the Post #). I did a check since you sounds pretty interesting! Don't you find that boring? Just a piece of advice - why not do some charitable work - these people needs any kind of help.

Yes IMO, do not stop people from posting their forums otherwise they will become too bored.

My suspicion is that agents are doing all these. They might be bringing tenants to view the apt on lease or sale and quietly took the opportunity to slip flyers under your doorstep.dont think is agent but more like flyer distributor. when i go to my landlord's place for viewing, lots of flyer from curtain supplier, interior designer and of cos agents.

if the house-rule has not been changed since TOP, The Trumps requires all window coverings (whether curtain or blinds) to be white.

Hi, NewOwner,

Currently, the stairs/bomb shelther is accessible by anyone who managed to pass through the Main Security. He/she can then climbed to the Units and slipped those flyers in.

Once Domain21 is fully occupied, we can then formed our own committee and brainstorm these issues.

Excelsvr, probably you are someone with nothing to do - sticking your opinions - though some pros - in every project forum - Draycott 8, EuroAsia, Ten@Suffolk, Gardens@Bishan - just to name a few (I can even give you the Post #).

Yup I have nothing to do :lol: And I have donated to charity. It's not like I don't.

Showflat,

I'd appreciate if you could give me the contact for the cushions.
I was having trouble with the curtains as prices quoted to me were sky high...so i had to do a lot of shopping ard and finally settled for one that was reasonable, but yet still high.

And...he's right. The Trumps require uniformity for window shades, and that is because they want to boost the image / facade for the property and not make it kinda 'obiang' so as to attract /. command a better market price. I fully agree that that is kinda tuff to accept, but it can still easily done, by having 2 shades, one on the inside and the other on the outside.

People are moving in fast....the number of ppl living in has seemed to doubled overnight. It's amazing.

Yup, i saw that BBQ party..but can't say i appreciated it that much though. think another resident complained as well as i saw the sercurity guard chasing them away. My reason for not appreciating it that much is because there were a whole bunch of kids that were running all over the place soaking wet...making black water / streak marks outside the pool, the toilet, lift lobby and even the lift. I think they should have the common decency to clean up after themselves shouldn't they ? Be more considerate to the other residents.

I don't know who ive bumped into but ive a seen a guy driving a black BMW and a Black 350Z. The rest are like family ppl. Maybe we should all have a gathering some day ? Anyone play texas-hold'em ?

Alright, gotta sign off here.

Getting late and have to work early tom.

Cheers!

Hi Money008,

The condo management are probably the best people to get us together. They are friendly; they did a good job; probably are the ones who can get in touch with the owners as only a few of us are into this forum.

At the same time, there won't be any uninvited ... what have you? etc.

Texas Hold'em - is that a poker game?

Best Regards,

I thought only HDBs have such problems. :lol:

The Trumps is FULL glass. In between also glass.

Hi everyone,

Got the keys to my unit, had the defects rectified, lights fixed and the curtains up within two weeks. Bought a few appliances; couple of viewers came by with tenancy in mind and one guy came with a compass in hand and at the balcony, telling his wife - no good, sai-pak (which means North-West) and he was right; except that the Fengsui direction should be taken at the Main Entrance. Anyway within two weeks, had my unit leased out - enough to keep me happy - so I am free to contribute my views - like it or not, it's just my opinion.

Showflat, I believe money is coming your way; but again if you sell high, you will have to buy high - unless you downgrade or rent (rental will be high as well) or if you have those extra properties. Looking at the region, political unrest, earthquakes - with Singapore targeting of 6.5 mil., properties would be the best bet. Maybe I am a bit late, you may have sold your unit; my advice - don't kill the goose that lay the golden eggs - lease it out. There will be ups and downs as nothing is plain smooth sailing.

Domain21, situated right at a cross-road and with Orchard Road & Great World City to the North; the East - Central and Chinatown; to the South - Harbour Front; Vivo City, St. James Power Station, the upcoming IR's and to the West being Jurong Bird Park, West Coast Park - all within easy reach.

Do we need a shop in Domain21? Would the high rent increase the price of goods sold there? Would there be any takers - just serving 141 families - outsiders have to pass through securty? Do a bit of legwork; walk to the nearby Cold Storage at Valley Point or even nearer, the Cheers store at Esso across the canal or longkang or whatever anyone likes to call that; it's alright, after all it's just a name.

didnt know trumps had such a wonderful rule of white blind shades! i like aesthetic rules like that

Well, at my home now, a very old 432-unit condominium, the have a shop unit, but the rent is reportedly $3,000. The goods there not as expensive, but the auntie should spend more time in helping keep the foods clean :tongue2:

Showflat ,

Do you have the contact for the cushion's guy ?

You want to make cushion for the bay window ledge?

Any of the sales reps are very helpful.
