How the price is likely to be set

Nobody outside the developer knows the price yet, and I won't guess a number for you. These are the things that will shape it:

  • Land cost. About $980 psf ppr. The next-highest bid was $818, so the winners paid well above the field. Lower land cost than many recent sites gives the developer room, but they will still price to the market.
  • Nearby new launch. Canberra Crescent Residences, also in District 27 and on the same newer floor-area rules, is the closest new-sale benchmark.
  • Nearby resale. North Park Residences, above Northpoint City and Yishun's bus interchange, is the closest match in concept. Older condos around Yishun set the resale floor.
  • Size of the project. 875 units is a lot to sell. Big launches often open with prices that move volume on day one, then step up in later releases.
  • Analyst views. When the land was sold, PropNex expected an average above $2,300 psf. That's an estimate, not the developer's price.

How booking day usually works

  1. Preview: visit the showflat, see the floor plans and the price list.
  2. Submit your interest and your cheque (usually 5% of the price) for a balloting or queue slot.
  3. On booking day you pick a unit when your number is called, if it's still available.
  4. You receive the Option to Purchase. The Sale and Purchase Agreement follows, and you pay in stages as the building goes up.

Have your loan in-principle approval ready before the preview so you know your ceiling. I'll help you line that up.

The developer appoints the agencies that can book units for buyers. ERA is an appointed marketing agency for Chencharu Central Residences, and buyers pay no commission.
