As I have not catch up with all the latest posting, I believe Zest is 100% sold! Bravo!

The next thing now is for the developer to keenly pursue some reputable commercial tenants or at least those that attract traffic/patrons. F&B is a must such as Old Town, Pak Li, Kim Gary or Wong Kok, fast food joint (McD) or Burger King,.... the rest can be offices but F&B is a must,....

Im looking forward for the opening...

What kind of business you all think would be at Zest commercial if those mentioned F&B wont survive?

Cant recall details, is Zest asking for 2.2M for their commercial lots? Thats seem very very stiff....

Not sure if that will help to create the commercial pull for zest lifestyle concept...

Because if its ended up as offices, then what lifestyle there is to offer?

Would you open an Old Town when your customers only come in the evening?

I do hope my observation is wrong though.

But as far as I know, one F&B owner has bought a unit there and planning to open an outlet there. So, its still not too bad. Maybe he sees something which I dont.

Hi shiewwai85,

I have started a community website something like this for my other property that I have. I already have the hosting plan and am a programmer an administrator for it. It started of as a forum thread as well, but was too difficult to read and for people to keep track.

I don't need sponsorship for the domain/webhost as the current service I am paying for supports multiple domains.

Let me know if anyone is interested and I can get this setup relatively quickly.

I think this 'project' need to be kicked start when we have collected our keys, moved in, form our own JMB and then from the community, to start with this 'e-community'. The portal can support like list down all the security guards faces, booking facilities online, pay monthly maintenance online, comments and complaints, events, news, updates, connect to cctv of the condo, visitor tracking and monitoring, security alarms and alerts, (imaging a cctv to always watching ur own vehicle from carpark hahaha) etc.. etc ...

Guys, I'm working in a hosting company.....I can support in anyway......we can start the site by giving news on the project progress but we need someone who willing to do the administration... 

Hello all the Zesters! I booked a unit in Block A about 2 weeks ago before seeing this hot thread, have been spending nearly 1 week to finish reading all the pages in version 1! fuhh....

Am currently waiting for the reply from several banks....

Just wonder if all corner units get side-by-side carpark?

The reason I chose RHB is because I can start paying the monthly installment after first drawdown instead of waiting for the full release of loan. This will surely set me free from the nightmare of piling interest charges due to project delay.

Please advise before I am falling into the trap 

Hi, actually OCBC does allow monthly installment upon first drawdown. I've confirmed this with OCBC. Hence looking at the offers by all the banks, seems that OCBC's one is rather attractive. For NZEC, 1st 3 years = BLR-2.3%. Thereafter BLR-2.4%.

Anyone took up loan from OCBC? Any better offer?

Called my SA and confirmed that there will be individual water meter for each unit of The Zest. The water rate will follow that of residential rate too.

Latest news is that there are only 3 units left in Block A (lower level) and 1 unit in Block B (with private garden)!

initially i thought OCBC offers the best rate with BLR -2.3,-2.4.
But after UOB banker showed me the comparison between their weekly -2.1 rate and normal monthly -2.3..
UOB actually gives the better rate..and your loan tenure is shorten to 4 years..with their weekly calculation..
so I took up UOB offers....but i wonder any tricks that i am not aware of...
