Vulcann 6th Gear August 16, 2011 Share August 16, 2011 Yes they can but buyers must be prepared to pay "market" rates... From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/Online...ory_702736.html Build ECs at prime locations I WAS heartened to hear of the raising of the income ceiling for build-to-order (BTO) flats as well as for executive condominiums or ECs ("HDB raises income ceiling to $10,000"; Monday). However, when I checked the locations of the new ECs, I was rather disappointed. New ECs are usually in outlying, suburban areas such as Sengkang, Yishun and Tampines, while prime sites in Serangoon, Clementi and Bishan are saved for private condominiums. Since the beginning of last year, 13 condominium sites have been sold, out of which five sites are in prime areas such as Hougang, Bishan and Kallang. For the same time frame, 11 sites for ECs have been sold and all the areas are in outlying areas. Given that the Urban Redevelopment Authority and the Singapore Land Authority conduct land sales for private residential areas and most of such land are in central locations, shouldn't more central HDB sites be saved for ECs as well?

Mdfaz 2nd Gear August 16, 2011 Share August 16, 2011 Tampines EC already cost $650-$700 psf.. Now if they build in prime location, it could go $800 psf or higher.. So be prepared to pay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustank Hypersonic August 17, 2011 Share August 17, 2011 Some (not all) EC Penthouses serves a unique segment of the market: 3G Living 三代同堂 3G Living is beneficial for the growth and development of children. When both parents go off to work, the grandparents stay back to care and educate the children. But 3G living needs housing space. There are some options available: 1) Jumbo Flats 2) Executive Flats and EMs 3) Penthouse 3) Landed Most penthouses are not suitable for 3G living as their 2nd storey is a huge roof terrace. You cant stay in a roof terrace. But those penthouses which have one or two rooms on the 2nd storey have minimised roof terraces are more suitable. 3G living is not everyone. There may have been strained relations with grandparents or between grandparents. But for those who can tap on the resource of grandparents, it is indeed beneficial for the kids! 家有一老 如有一宝!

HDB is suppose to be affordable to average Singaporean (low and middle class). if built in Nassim park and sell at 2 to 3 mill for an EC.... is that still consider a HDB?? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
