Location: Lakepoint Drive Developer: Jurong Town Corporation TOP was in 1983. This estate is around 19 years old. Tenure: 99 years. Total units: 304 Comprising of: 2 bedrooms, Mainsonette, townhouse and penthouse. This condo is in a `U' ( horse-shoe ) shape. This is suppose to be a good design. However, it is a pity that there is no water positions or swimming pool located within this `U' shape. But rather, the swimming pool is to the right of the estate. PS. PLEASE READ A FORUM MESSAGE IN THIS SAME CONFERENCE. THE TITLE OF THE ARTICLE IS: "IMPORTANT NOTICE ON EACH REVIEWS" A real pity, here. Else, it would match some of the newer condominiums such as The Tropica Condomi…

Last weekend, a previous client of mine called that he is house hunting as he needs a larger home. Furthermore, his current home has lots of staircases even to the "guest room" where is mother-in-law is staying. He chanced upon an "open house" for no. 1 Parry View which is on sale for whatever reasons. From the streetdirectory map: No. 1 Parry View: does not seem to have very good Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Take alook at the home at the "bottom" of the Y. Feng Shui can still help to redress some of the issues. But this is already a major leak: Location, location, location - ain't good! Based on Shapes and Forms; this home is situated at the "bottom" of the "V" of t…

Le Quest by Qingjian Realty at Bukit Batok West Avenue 6 For N3 facing units, stacks such as Block 10 stacks 29, 30, 31 and 32, and Block 12 stacks 38, 39, 40 and 41 have their double auspicious #8 stars sitting at the “back” or rear of the unit. Because of this, the Feng Shui is not as favourable. For S3 facing units, the Feng Shui is identical to S2 facing. Stacks such as Block 2 stacks 04, 05, 06 and 07 are the most favourable for an East group person, as the frontage of these units enjoys the double auspicious #8 wealth stars. In addition, their facing directions have water, which is believed to bring great wealth. 1. Attached, you can find a sample ill…

1. In my opinion, it is not that bad. 2. Frankly, I see it more as a graceful geese gliding gracefully on water; see attachment 3. In my also; it looks less like a cooking pan as a cooking pan is rounded; where else this either looks: like the cake scoop. For example, when we scoop up a slice of a piece of cake to a plate. Or at least it is like a chopper as you had mentioned. 4. A chopper is actual good as this is an "offensive" weapon and the only thing is that whoever is in the "way" of this chopper e.g. neighbourhood land is not as good. For example, please see attachment Fabercrest hill site. It looks like the blade of the long Chinese weapon. 5. Edelweiss Pa…

Location: Siglap Road (Marine Parade) Developer: Mandarin Gardens Pte Ltd (Overseas Union Bank financed) Tenure: 99 years TOP was 16 years ago in 1986 Total units: 1,000 apartments. Comprising of Studio, 2 bedrooms, 3 bedrooms and Penthouse. When it was launched in 1986, many of the units are sold at a premium. Most probably because of the district 15 location. Even during that time, many of the units were vacant. And by coincidence, a video system at the guardroom to each unit - failed. Installed by Chubb, this system gave problems and did not work. In my opinion, there are many unsold units at this condo. Basically, in order to save space, the major blocks are connected…

Marina One Towers 21 and 23 For me, immediately that comes to mind are two L-shaped boots or a grown-man's moustache. In this illustration, from a Shapes and Forms Feng Shui point of view, although the largest stack/units = #08 has a nice number. It is unfortunately not the best stack given that it is at the edge of the building. Although it has stunning views, corner stacks which is literally at the edge of the development does not have optimum Shapes and Forms. Surprisingly, other than the whole "working" world may peer into these (Block 21) stacks, stacks like 09, 10, 11, 12, 13 & 14 are considered to have better Shapes a…

Martin Modern by Guocoland What a pity stacks/units that have pool view also affected by afternoon sun. Especially Tower 8 with the larger units stacks #01, #02 and #03. For Tower 10, stack #12 is the most affected by afternoon sun. Including stack #11. While stacks #13, #14 and #15 also have indirect afternoon sun all year round. It is a pity that the developer should have mirrored the two blocks on this plot of land.

Maysprings condominium was finalized during the Flying Star Period 7 in 1998. The land tenure is leasehold for 99 years. This condominium consists primarily of two identical rectangular blocks: Blocks 2 and 6. Positioned between these two blocks is Block 4, which is centrally located on the rectangular plot and houses the clubhouse. The majority of the apartments are oriented towards Flying Star S1 or N1, with fewer units facing E1 and W1. A distinctive characteristic of this condominium is the "openings"; please refer to the attachment: maysprings1.jpg, where the openings are highlighted in RED: A and B. This type of opening, according to Shapes and Forms,…

Squatters of SGP land caveat emptor... Minister for National Development (MND) Lawrence Wong says that majority of occupiers (apologies I mean squatters) of 99-year leased homes have to surrender their flats when the lease expires. As government has no means to en-bloc each and every flat.. The Minister wrote on the MND blog: “For the vast majority of HDB flats, the leases will eventually run out, and the flats will be returned to HDB, who will in turn have to surrender the land to the State.” “Do not assume that all old HDB flats will be automatically eligible for the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme, or SERS. SE…

A new freehold site by Tuan Sing on former commercial office spaced known as Hillview House.

Many new condo developments today have interior walls that come with dry walls. For example: The Sail, Livia and recently TOP Caspian and also 8@Woodleigh. All other developers should take a page or example from the Sales Brochure of Naung Residence. Where under 3.0 WALLS Internal Wall : concret wall and/or brickwall and/or precast wall While many other brochures are not clearly written. Please see attachments. This is because given that many new condo units nowadays come with internal walls that are dry-walls. Where often it can be a disappointment when someone wanted to mount a TV onto a wall but could not as dry-walls don't provde such a solid support. For…
