Is the Sales Brochure Useful?

Introduction: For brand new just launched developments, there is no physical site to visit the completed buildings and apartments. 

1. The only thing we can do is to visit the show room (which often is close-by to the site) as well as obtain a sales brochure and see the mock-up of the development. As well as try to ask questions from the sales agent (if any).

1.1. We must still try to gather as much information as we can.

2. Summary of Case Studies in this article.

If the information is overwhelming. Pick and choose selective articles...

1A & B: Common Rubbish Bin
2A & B: Interior unit Dry Walls
3: Fire at Heaven's Gate
4: Sha Qi or Poison Arrows from Club-house roof-lines
5: 3 Panel Sliding Doors at the Balcony
6: Drainage at the Balcony
7: Air-con Ledges
8: Mixed Developments + Cooling Towers
9: Termite infestations
10: Coffee-shop below or near to unit
11: Water tank at roof-top
12: Lamp Posts, Pillars, Tree Trunks
13: Spice Garden in an EC/condo
14: EC/condo Clubhouse
15A & B: Pneumatic Waste Collection System
16: Look closely at the development's scale model for clues
17: Buying a Mixed development apartment
18: Survey or study facilities surrounding the development
19: Pump Room below a unit
20: Seven Commandments of Stove Placement
21: Is there a potential poison arrow from the neighbours?
22: Should I be concerned with a near-by temple, church, mosque &/or elder care?
23: Is the compass marking on the Sales Brochure accurate?
24: Sites reserved for Schools?
25: Doors face each other? [Main Door/Bedrooms]
26: Unit numbers with 4, 44 or 444 Okay?
27: Stove or sink or WC at the Centre of the house?

3. It is always an excellent idea to spent some time to scrutinise a prospective sales brochure of our potential buy (purchase).

4. Recently, more and more clients have discovered to their shock (horror) that the least expected was the location of the central rubbish bin outside their unit.

5. A year ago; many had purchased a premium unit within the development .. and later shocked to learn that the central rubbish chute (for their entire floor) is just next to their main door!

6. Thus the morale of the story is to check first before signing on the dotted line.

7. In general, most developments have these:-

8.1. A central rubbish collection centre / rubbish bin collection point

8.2. Power Sub-station. Every development usually has one or more of these depending on the size of the development.

8.3. Design of club-house roof-lines / trellis / gazebo / pavilion. Are the designs a "threat" e.g. with spikes or like a razor's edge? Usually these are aimed towards lower storeys.

8.4. Any poison arrows in the form of a sharp corner of another block of neighbouring stack aimed towards one's balcony (hard to cure) or towards one's windows (if any)

8.5. Location of areas like BBQ pits and any impact e.g. the smell from these pits towards a unit.. especially low storeys such as #01  or #02 first or second storeys

8.6. Any tree trunk aimed towards a lower unit e.g. #01 or #02. Unfortunately it may be too late; especially if the development is under construction.

9. There are lots more considerations...  

9.1. Do remember "Read in-between" the lines..

What is the meaning of Pinery?

"Pinery" can refer to either a pineapple plantation (hothouse or area where pineapples are grown) or a forest of pine trees. The word is also used to identify specific places, such as Pinery Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada, or The Pinery, Colorado, a census-designated community.

Wow! Pineapples are really meaningful for us Chinese. Even when we first get our keys, many people will symbolically toss in a pineapple for good luck! However, if “Pinery” is taken with the other meaning… good luck! Developers, make sure you plant a grove of pine trees in the estate. LOL

[Cecil Lee]

It’s my first time seeing so many identical ads on Facebook for a new launch all on the same day… Many agencies and agents are hedging their bet on this development. LOL

I understand that in the recent past, many first owners and sellers of units at Treasure at Tampines have made a nice profit. Some speculators might also see similar potential in Pinery Residences. In contrast, the resale prices at Dairy Farm Residences haven’t shown as much profit, if any at all. This isn’t about Feng Shui. It’s really about how appealing these homes are, especially to upgraders living in and around Bedok, Bedok Reservoir, Simei, and Tampines itself. 
Please do not rely solely on the above comments. You are strongly advised to conduct your own due diligence, as no liability or responsibility is assumed for any decisions made based on this information. - Master Cecil Lee, 29th January 2026.

If I’m planning to stay in a place, I’ll always try to understand the meaning of my potential new home. LOL

A pinery refers to either a grove or forest of pine trees (a pinetum) or, less commonly, a hothouse or plantation where pineapples are grown, reflecting its origin from the word "pine". It's a place for pine trees or pineapple cultivation, often used in historical contexts for tropical fruit growing.
Two Main Meanings:
Pine Tree Area: A woodland, grove, or forest consisting of pine trees, sometimes cultivated for timber.
Pineapple Cultivation: A greenhouse or dedicated area, often tropical, for growing pineapples.
Examples in Use: 
"The botanical garden featured a diverse pinery with species from around the world".
"The tropical pinery allowed pineapples to be grown in cooler climates".

Trees are a vital element in Feng Shui

1. In general, trees are commonly esteemed as a vital element in Feng Shui, as they have the ability to attract birds.

2. Nevertheless, I have frequently observed numerous birds congregating in a cluster of trees during the evenings, and their calls can be quite intense. This is an experience I had many years ago, particularly near the well-known Old Airport Market and Food Centre.

Bird droppings can transmit diseases.

2.1. Furthermore, during my morning walks through the area, I often noticed a significant amount of bird droppings. Upon seeing this, I instinctively hold my breath, fearing the possibility of contracting bird flu or similar illnesses.
