Good deal for FH city living

Posted by Dilys Fan on Jan 24, 2011

After new measures announced post 14 Jan, I would expect some revision and correction in prices as i like the newness of this project so near my work place. It is a peaceful and quiet environment yet near enough to head out for my city living shopping, dining and clubbing at Clarke Quay

This place is actually not bad but I am waiting to see if price corrects somewhat before viewing to buy.
I recommend this building for: City Living, Families with Children, Peace & Quiet, Western Expats and Asian Expats.

Surprisingly nice place to live

Posted by DavidG on Nov 18, 2010

Recently moved into The Inspira with my small family, units are clean, modern and airy, with a high ceiling.
Location is great , lots of entertainment in the area, facilities are good and well maintained , but no tennis court, although I am told would be difficult to find a new condo in this area with a court.
Overall positive so far
I recommend this building for: City Living, Peace & Quiet, Luxury & Prestige and Western Expats.

It's not all bad!

Posted by Inspired on Mar 21, 2010

This is a modern, new build condo, which is very close to the bohemian facilities of the Robertson Quay. Admittedly, the surrounding buildings are not so pretty, but as locations go, it's really central. And if you like to walk / run the canal is so close.
Inside, the apartments are really well finished, with kitchens designed for people who cook (a rare find in Singapore!). The bathrooms are a good size too. Whilst the pool doesn't get the sun, the balconies at the front certainly do and they're surprisingly large for a city-centre condo.
I think this condo ticks plenty of boxes, depending on what you're looking for. Don't knock it till you try it! We're very excited to live here.
I recommend this building for: City Living, Luxury & Prestige and Western Expats.

any afternoon sun please?

Posted by David on Feb 16, 2010

Inspira is a disappointing project: Starting with the name of the street "Arnasalam Chetty" it is already difficult for ppls staying there telling their visitors how to get there. Also, the entrance is shared by 2 other commercial building, giving it a 'congested' feeling re access to the premises. What disturbed me the most is actually the facility area: Right between the block itself and the adjacent school on the other side, you will find the lap pool. While nice, it is so narrow between these 2 buildings that there is hardly/no afternoon sun shining onto the pool. Good luck swimming. Also a strange design actually separates the 2 fitness/work-out areas. So e.g. after working on the weights and intending to go for a run on the threadmill, you need to exit one gym and enter the other. However, there is also a bright side: Finishes are okay, but what hit my eyes the most is actually the high ceiling. Inside the unit you get a spacious feeling.

Hardly Inspired

Posted by marcus tan on Feb 11, 2010

The marketing materials portrayed an ultra stylish and modern building in glowing silver. Till the last days prior to TOP, I was still hoping this little wish of mine will come true but it didn't...so a whitish facade was all we got. The road name was a mouthful for all to attempt and it doesnt help that access to the development is shared with the 2 commercial buildings just in front. Nestled in a prestigious neighbourhood, Inspira will find it hard to stand out despite being the newest kid on the block.

Wait and see

Posted by Pat on Dec 14, 2009

Sneak into the units for a preview through some contacts. some units are so badly designed, you probably feel you got cheated 200-300 sqft. the spacial feel is very bad. Some units are ok, only to be blocked by by adjacent buildings. Unlike its promotion material, this development is cramped between 2 buildings and forced to a corner of a inroad. Not the massive development that was promoted. Looking at the finishing, which some is completed, it is ok. Disappointing view from the higher unit, if someone is selling to you at 20% higher for a high floor....take a good look first before buying. Prices has been dropping since its high in 2007-2008. It can be a value buy because it is new. else its design and overall qualities pale slightly in comparison to the surrounding developments.

Unethical sellers

Posted by Flo Foo on May 12, 2009

In recent months, I noticed with disgust the greed of sellers of several developments, including The Strata, Southbank and Inspira. Sellers and agents advertise a certain price, but once a buyer matches their request, sellers promptly go back on their offer and ask for a higher price. I experienced this thrice - two sellers asked for $200,000 more from the original price, while the third wanted $40,000 more. Whatever happened to a gentlemen's deal? I only hope these greedy, unethical sellers are left with overpriced units no one wants to buy - since our current recession hasn't hit bottom yet. After all, experts agree property prices are the last to fall in an economic downturn.
