[okanenotatsujin]

Any details at all at this stage?

This is the info from Allgreen's website:

This freehold site has a land area of approximately 10,540.5 sqm and is located on the western side of Thomson road, almost mid-way between its junctions with Newton/Kampong Java Roads. The immediate vicinity is mixed in nature comprising residential developments such as "Lincoln Lodge", "Suffolk Apartments", amongst others, interspersed by commercial developments such as United Square, Goldhill Centre/Plaza and Revenue House. Prominent developments in the vicinity also include Hotel Royal and St Michael's Primary School. Accessibilty to and from the subject property is exhanced by its proximity to the Central Expressway and major roads such as Thomson/Bukit Timah Roads. The proposed development is within walking distance from the Novena MRT station. The proposed development will comprise 2 blocks of 30 storey with a total of approximately 250 condominium units (2/3/4 bedrooms type) with basement carparks. The common facilities including swimming pool, tennis court and clubhouse.

The site has been vacant for 1 year now.

The sight has been empty for over a year now. I wonder when thay are going to start construction. seanchew, what's the height restriction for that area? Is it possible to build 36-storeys and above? It'll be good, given that it's a large plot of land

I vaguely remember that the area should have the same plot ratio as Park Infinia (ie just over 30 stories...)
I think it needs to be directly above/next to MRT to have higher plot ratio..

It isn't quite close enough for that.

[Excelsvr]

It's actually within walking diatance, as the actual site is beside United Square. You just walk through United Square, go to the underpass and voila ~ you're at the MRT. Of course that will take around 8-10minutes, depending on your speed
No renderings yet?

this will be after Cascadia, One Devonshire. Think they revised the floorplan to make it a bigger unit.

[Excelsvr]

That will be good Honestly, I wouldn't want to live in a cramped apartment. I seriously think Iridium and Kerrisdale's 4-bedders are too small. One is 1200++sqft while the other is 1485sqft. Iridium I can understand as the plot is small. But Kerrisdale, having a much larger plot than Iridium, should have larger units! Thank god Latitude and Citylights came along. Latitude's apartments are very big A 2-bedder is 1,134sqft ( I think ) and a four-bedder is 2,680 sqft. As for Citylights, a 4-bedder is within the range of 1,841 sqft - 1,959 sqft, which is a plus point

Bigger ?? Thought the higher psf prices were for 2 bedders (ie smaller area) as people can more afford smaller units...
Thought the trend would be like HK... smaller units when prices high... Like Scotts Square...

But if bigger... are they trying to do a super hi-end condo ??? New super benchmark for Newton/Novena ??

[Excelsvr]

I thought Soleil already set a benchmark price.
