Is upper mid floor, corner unit. I do understand is very pricey, hence, my expectation of SDB workmanship/management are higher. I'm also working hard to achieve my goals 3 years from now given the current nature of my job. If everything goes as planned. I'll have a bit more flexibility in terms of financial spendings by then.

Btw, I was in contact with the people in HQ today, one of the staff was kind and honest enough to tell me that, there may be a slight delay for the completion of the project (1-2 months). When I raised my doubts on the ground work is still lacking behind. Reason given was they are building an earth quake resistant building, hence, more time is needed. LOL

Moving on, I did a quick survey on 5 stones in SS2, constructed by SDB. Although I wasn't allow to go in. But I was amazed by the end product.

So fast they told u will delay 1-2 months? Now just starting thier work, they so fast can jump into conclusion?
Anyway, thier expectation completion is end of Oct 2015.
Doing this earthquake resistant building is 1 of thier selling point too, this part they should have take into thier estimation time by right.

With that price, it is very sayang if the building is not certified by Singapore BCA Green Mark like what Sunway did for their building. Since the park concept is so Eco-friendly, the developer shall do it then only can compete in long term appreciation.

Well, that's what they said, It may or may not be. I'm just updating it here by reporting what was told. Is up to everyone's guess. 5 Stones was delayed as well aren't they. But as an owner myself, I wouldn't want any of that happen as well.

The park is just a park, it doesn't provide any other form of renewable or sustainability in energy savings, water savings and etc.

"Under the assessment framework for new buildings, developers and design teams are encouraged to design and construct green, sustainable buildings which can promote energy savings, water savings, healthier indoor environments as well as the adoption of more extensive greenery for their projects. As for existing buildings, the building owners and operators are encouraged to meet their sustainable operations goals and to reduce adverse impacts of their buildings on the environment and occupant health over the entire building life"

The park could be the cooling factor of the building. By using the eco paint, the heat of the building can be reduced thus reduce the utility expenses of air cond. The water from the rain can be saved to water the plants inside the park. Use solar generated light at the park to reduce the electricity too.

The park is the selling point. However if to use high cost to maintain like park, long term residents will suffer. If no maintain the park then the condo value will be heavily affected.

To become green building may not necessary to be very expensive. Zefer hill may be example. They start selling at 400 Psf only.

The question is are they positioning WOTP to be an Eco friendly building? They could have use options that you have given above in making it Eco friendly, but I don't think WOTP is one of them for reasons only known to themselves. Their idea is solely to build a park around the building.

Their idea is to build a condo inside the park. They should position it as Eco-friendly building.

For whatever is worth, it Is their discretion. They had their idea, they build around it and we purchased it. Everyone has their own ideas on how a building should or should not be in terms of design/concepts/prices and beyond. For instance, yours being they should built an Eco friendly building, where else, for me I don't think it is necessary not because I'm least environmental but I don't see the point of it If only the building is Eco friendly but the public does not practice it.

Besides, I never believe that there's a property out there that suits anyone and everyone. But we purchase it wholeheartedly because it fits towards a certain extent on our preferences. Nevertheless, i think we have speak our minds and I'll just live it as it is.
