noedig Neutral Newbie April 8, 2015 Share April 8, 2015 Hi all, I am also thinking of getting a 1BR (495sf) unit at Botanique. But I'm not sure if now is the time to purchase. The 1BR seems to have sold really fast at launch, but I suspect it will slow down soon. Sims and Kingsford Waterbay also sold very quickly at launch, but it seems like sales have slowed down a lot since launch. Should I wait for a while more for Botanique, in case there are discounts in the future? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After living in my flat for 1.5 years and now with 2 young kids. To me 1150 sq feet is just nice only (all usable space). If push come to shove, i can deal with about 1000 sq feet but that's about it. The space used to store my girl's toys and play yard is probably equivalent to the entire living room of these suburban new condos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoverofCar 6th Gear April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 nowadays condo housewarming only done in function room after makan, can invite the guest to tour the condo unit only 2 guests at a time LOL....apply the hospital visitor rule is it ? need to scan IC bo? Actually, some folks put the dining table in the balcony and they call it alfresco dining but must have depth. Trouble is some of the balconies are long enough but have no depth. I traditionalist prefer to eat indoors but guess if you have such a small living/dining area then have to eat at the balcony!! Buy a million dollar unit and have to makan outside? may be every family member issue a SAF style tray lah....put foods on tray and eat at the living room sofa... actually is misrepresentation and misexpectation when my colleague bought ... the agent "sell" or at least he was convinced that 2 person ... why need to buy big unit ... 750sqft 2bedder is MORE THAN ENOUGH ... but when he got the key and move in ... 1st word is FCUK ... how come so small ... people never learn that actual unit is definitely smaller than showroom unit because of all kind of trick use in showroom and actual unuseable space is not factored in yet ... the living room is practically compact sofa + mini table + tv console .... like a narrow corridor (as all condo design) he can forget making babies and employ maid liao ...
