Yeah the Jardin finally 'launched' with prices for the 3rd level lofts going for only $2000psf. Even areas such as Balmoral which is so much closer to town don't fetch that amount. Seriously what is Far East Organisation thinking? Just add $300-500psf above reasonable prices because you have built over 700 developments and received multiple awards no one bothers about?
I really feel bad for people who buy FEO's overpriced units...although they do have a couple of rare bargains.
Also, heard from some reliable sources that Cascadia and Floridian that is just across the road will be holding out for next year. Late 1st Q at least. Maybe by then prices would have gained momentum again and I will be forced to eat my rant above regarding Jardin.

The Sky Has Fallen! Jardin Launches!
The Jardin has FINALLY FRICKIN launched after more then half a year's 'launching this weekend'. For the past few weeks I've been noticing workmen adding the final touchups to the showflat while on my way home and I guess that adds up.
But for $1950psf upwards, thats surely a mighty blow to any pocket - though it will mean good news to Maplewoods, and the super undervalued Blossomvale (which has an amazing view of Bukit Timah Hill).
Heard that the showroom is mighty impressive and personally would like to drop by.

Cascadia? Finally some news?
Source: Straits Times
Bukit Timah (D21) has been long slated to be the next 'spillover' area from escalating property prices along with Meyer Rd (D15).
However what the D15 area has achieved recently has only made its luscious green and hilly counterpart turn only more green in envy.
Projects that have been lined up to launch in D21 have been 'delayed' forever. Leaving agents red faced when clients demand they make good on their 'launching this weekend' promises. These projects are: Jardin, Cascadia, Hillcrest, Floridian and unnamed projects along Shelford Rd and Balmoral.
However the latest development was spotted in a one-liner in the Straits Times to conclude the article on a $2.02b bid on a prime site at Marina: "MGPA has been on an active buying spree here. In March, it agreed to buy Temasek Tower from CapitaLand for $1.04 billion. Last month , it also bought 162 units of Allgreen Properties' Cascadia condominium in Bukit Timah for a median price of $1,527 psf, sources said".
Well there you go folks. Finally after all the hush hush from Knight Frank, the exclusive marketing agent, we know whats going on - the cream of Cascadia is probably being made available for tenancy before brochures are even printed.
Now sit back and watch the Maplewoods, Sterling, Blossomvale and gang skyrocket.

Launching this weekend. Really. Promise. Guaranteed.
Well heres a post in tribute of The Jardin by Fareast Organization.
Again my agent from Knight Frank called me to tell me how the amazing Jardin will be launching this weekend, and would like to have my blank cheque.
My response?
"Siao!"
Yes I have been watching The Jardin grow from whispers to now Universal Public Secret No.1. It's a really nice project (albeit surrounded by Garden Vista, King Albert Park and a Flyover) with modern designs and some green lungs at your doorstep.
But till now its the same every week.
Sigh.
