Falling Apart
Used to be a great place but condo management has become progressively worse over the last few years – the pool was off limits for over 2 months (from before Christmas to after CNY) because they did not want to pay to repair it, the side gate is constantly broken, night security goes missing so you can be stuck at the boom gate for ages. And now there is construction on both sides of the building. -

Harbour View Towers
Rather iconic with its twin tower joined in the centre on around the 19th floor, Harbour View enjoys immediate amiantus at its doorstep with the heartland food centre and wet market. the 2 bed room can be a bit odd shape and commopn rooms can be a better small. The views for high floor units can be majestic with unblocked views of the golf course and Sentosa. -

HVT WILL BECOME VERY PRIME
When the circle line stage 6 (closing up the circle) is completed, Telok Blangah Mrt is only 2 mrt stops from Shenton Mrt & 3 mrt stops from Marina Bay Mrt. Thus, Harbour view towers will become very prime and will have very high enbloc potential.Owners are advised not to let go of their units easily -

Beautiful gem, not worth the money
HVT is really great. Especially unit photos from 800 sqft / 74 sqm (built-in). So enchanting. I am almost enchanted. However, I won't be parting with my hard earned cash here for the following reasons. 1. 99 Leasehold only. This condo is already more than 17 years old. So much more must be spent on renovation, I reckon at least $100K. With so many new condo TOP, there is no need to spend such needless money on reno. which will NOT be counted in valuation report when you sell your condo. 2. Related to point 1: Condo maintenance & repairs would be hefty soon if not already is. It is an OLD condo. Termites? Water leaks? Cracks? Outdated design? 3. If I buy it now, and it enblocs within 4 years, I have to pay stamp duty. 4. If I buy it now, and it enblocs, I don't make much at all, in view of the plot ratio & my current buying price being so high. If I buy it now, spent S$100K on reno & it enblocs ??!!! 5. The asking PSF for the smaller 800 sqft unit is S$ 1,747.50 psf - at this price I can buy a brand new Skyline Residence next door! Besides, Skyline Res is F.R.E.E.H.O.L.D! THIS IS THE MOST DECIDING FACTOR WHY THIS HVT CONDO IS NOT A WISE INVESTMENT NOW. 6. the View comes with the Noise: For home stay, home should be quiet & peaceful. 7. HVT Condo is in HDB heartland. I am not being "atas" here but the surrounding is not reflected by the asking price. At S$17xx PSF, I can buy a prime D10 condo surrounded by landed, unblocked & FREEHOLD. So, my advice to all:- Sellers, please do not sell. Enjoy HVT until it enblocs and make your many happy monies. You lucky folks! Happy Living! Buyers, please do not buy HVT. Put your money elsewhere where it can grow and multiply. We are too late. But, don't envy them; just walk away & find elsewhere where you will also be envied in time to come. Happy hunting! -

Central location with greens and sea

A stroll away from MRT , a station away from labrador park and Vivocity A short distance from workplace (CDB, Alexandra Biz PArk , Tg Pagar) -

Under-rated
The review by John Smith claims that HVT is not that near the MRT because the entrance is away from Telok Blangah Rd. That's just the main entrance (for vehicles & pedestrians). There are 2 more entrances (for pedestrians) to Telok Blangah Rd, one of which is 50m from the new escalator to Telok Blangah MRT station. A major repair & renovation was undertaken in the mid 2000s, following a settlement reached with the developer over complaints of water seepage and other issues. Since then, the condo has been very well maintained. Great Views - both the two towers have sea & pool views, but other details differ. Tower A has a view of Reflections & Sentosa; however it also faces HDB flats and a Chinese temple (especially the lower floors). Tower B, which faces a different angle, has views of Labrador Park & Keppel golf greens that are unblocked by buildings. The extra high ceiling (almost 11 ft) also means that it's about 30% higher than other condos with normal ceiling heights. eg. 15th floor is equivalent to 19th floor in other condos. The unblocked location also means fresh breeze throughout the year. Spacious grounds and the proximity to MRT give high en bloc potential to this site. -

Excellent Location
Harbour View Towers is extremely near CBD with just mins drive to Tanjong Pagar. It is strategically located near to Resort World Sentosa (RWS) and VivoCity. Harbour View Towers also has good amenties around i.e. NTUC Fairprice, food market, and Telok Blangah central just a stone throw away. With the opening of Telok Blangah MRT, it is likely to bring more life and excitement to Telok Blangah area. Harbour View Towers is indeed an excellent location to live in. -

Fantastic Investment
Harbour View Towers has got a great location with just mins drive to Tanjong Pagar. Vivocity and Harbourfront is just 2 bus-stops away. World Resort Sentosa is also very near. Many of the units from #7 onwards are able to have a good view of sentosa / keppel golf course / sea view. With the upcoming activities i.e. Fairways rumoured to release its showroom, opening of Telok Blangah MRT in 3Q2011, Tanjong Pagar's redevelopment of its railway vicinity (land swap with Malaysia), development of Marina South as commercial / garden city. Bukit Sembawang Developer needs around $1,300psf to breakeven for the enbloc of fairways and may price around $1,700psf. It is not difficult to predict that prices of Harbour View Towers will breach the $1,500psf mark. Moreover, with projects such as Reflections, Carribean and already highly priced, Harbour View Tower's pricing seemed like a giant waiting to awaken. Rental yield is also great with 2 bedrooms commanding approximately $4k. Overall, i would recommend this to investors with a keen eye for potential. -
