One of best condo seen
I understand that a few units have just received TOP status and have a few 3 br. I simply love those that are high floor, pool facing - especially stack 9 and 12. No noon sun at all, breezy and bright and of course fantastic pool view from bedroom n living room. I see latest transacted px from ura for 1259sqft is $1.51m and px likely to increase further as the whole project receive TOP. So My husband and I are looking to get a 3 br at kovan residence soon. Cheers -

Location location location
I and my wife keen on this project. We hv also seen a few other projects like sunglade, the scala, even compass height. We realise nothing beats staying at kovan residences. Firstly it's brand new to TOP. Pricing is certainty reasonable compared to the the scala asking 1500 -1700psf and not yet TOP. Some more, heartland mall is so nearby and close to my daughter enrichment Class Hope to get unit here for stay. Thereafter can also rent out. -

Appalled with neighbour proximity
Managed to view actual unit last week, was appalled at how near units are to one another. You can almost shake hand with your neighbour from some of the rooms. The rooms might as well face concrete walls which offer more proximity. Also, a lot of space wastage on huge balcony and planters. Landscaping is decent, but walkways are narrow. Am surprised at the current asking prices. Definitely having hesitations about this development. -

Concerns on internal walls / layout
1) I was very surprised that the walls separating the rooms & toilets are not solid concrete but "PARTITIONS". If you knock, it is hollow sound. 2) Layout of swimming pools, gyms and amenities is "CLAUSTROPHOBIC" cramped resort living. 3) The whole development is very close to the main roads of UpperSerangoon, Kovan, Lowland Road and Simon Road as roads are widened. -

Good location
Been to the showflat today. Liked it very much! The location, MRT, good food nearby (fav Lasi Lemak), Heartland mall, NEX (coming soon), near parents etc. Except the balcony and planter is huge! Do I really want to pay for something I dont need? Currently, heard that 3BR subsale going for 1k PSF. -

Nice but cannot afford
Visited the showsuites at the actual units. Overall, the biggest draw of the development is the location - MRT at the doorstep, opp market and mall with all the conveniences of good food, easy access to town and the future NEXX Mall at Serangoon MRT interchange. Units are generally big and spacious (at least by today's standards). Layouts are modelled after D9 and 10 more luxury developments. Design-wise, it is certainly a notch up vs Kovan Melody next door. Development is close to some international schools so there may be a potential rental market for expats who like newer and bigger apartments. Would have been better if the development has more green and space. But it is one of the better ones of the recent launches. Good potential but prices are high due to bigger sized units. PSF wise, 850-900 psf is reasonable by recent standards. -

To buy or not to buy
I like this condo very much and have been monitoring the progress even before the project launch. The price is on the high side for a LH99 project, even after the discounts in early 2009 (3BR abt 800k+). Many buyers were chasing after the price and pushing the price higher due to positive sentiments from the recent rally in the stock market. Developer adjusted the price up every week based on demand. Now in June 2009, 3BR is 1 million. This could be the peak already. If i buy a 3 BR for 1 million+, i bear the high loan payment for a long long time. And also, how much more can i resell a LH99 1 million 3 BR for in 5-10 years' time if i so decide to sell it? Will still continue to monitor the project.... -
