I am looking into purchasing a property near KKWH to live in, and am considering between 3 bedroom units in Piccadilly Grand vs The Atelier as both are within my budget. The concerns that I have are quantum differences between The Atelier given that it is a freehold and Piccadilly Grand which is a leasehold, and if I purchase Piccadilly Grand I will likely need to look into selling it in 10-15 years even though the location is excellent. Any advice or insights between the 2 will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi there, have you visited both project showflat? my suggestion would be go down and visit both showflat and also pay a visit to both sites. besides prices and lease, there are other factors that you might wish to consider such as developer, fixtures given, ease of getting to work and also potential price appreciation. we are actually the marketing agent for both projects and as such might be in a better position to advice which project might better suit you. looking forward to your call for a more detailed discussion and hopefully clear your doubt and help you make a more informed decision.
Cheers and Regards

Good morning,

A quick look at the starting prices of the 3 bedrooms in the 2 projects discussed, $2.524mil for PG and $3.31mil for Atelier. Imho, quantum wise, it will be easier to exit next time for PG since your future buyer who goes through the same scenario as you can still get a 3 bedroom within a $3mil budget at PG and may rule out going beyond $3.5mil.

Generally in my observation, for new projects freehold and leasehold status for the first 20 years does not seem to matter much for newer generations of buyers. But rather location, proximity to MRT and schools, amenities, layout, overall design, land size and communal space plays a stronger factor. In this instance, for a buyer who is indifferent between the 2 districts, PG may just check more boxes, and what more it is also a mixed development directly connected to MRT. It may be easier to exit next time a mid-size development like PG versus a boutique development such as A.

Farrer Park Hampshire Road is also undergoing transformation and will bring the spotlight back to PG's location in the next 5 to 10 years. There will be upcoming sports facilities and newer HDBs to rejuvenate this area, as well as the completion of the North-South Corridor. The land occupied by LTA currently is also zoned for residential development, and may sell at higher land prices next time. This narrative can give a overall boost to prices during your holding period as well.

A part of it depends on the layouts and units available as well. I'll be happy to share my inputs on the layouts you have chosen from an investment point of view. I am contactable at wa.me/6597432395 , look forward to hear from you soon!

May I have more info and requirements about your plans so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Mr & Mrs Wee : We would like to share our appreciation and commendation to Ivan for their professionalism and dedication in handling our property transaction. It was a great pleasure to work with him as he was patient throughout the entire process and explained to us and clarified any doubts we had without fail. He was also very prompt in responding to all the queries we had. While we were unsure if we were able to sell off the property in time, Ivan constantly reassured us that it was possible and offered his professional advice. In fact, he managed to secure an offer to sell the property above our expected price while concurrently negotiated the buying price for our next property. Having Ivan as our agent significantly made the entire process seamless and fuss-free. We will definitely recommend Ivan to our family and friends. Read More

Hi Sir/Mdm,

In my opinion, do not be overly concerned about the lease status of the properties because there are many examples of freehold properties that declined in value after 10 to 15 years period due to factors such as poor upkeep of properties, too high an entry point etc.

I personally would prefer Piccadilly Grand because of the location and the upside potential in the area due to the upcoming development in the surrounding. It has certain unique selling points that are hard to replicate and therefore I believe it will continue to be a strong draw to buyers and tenants in the many years to come.

Feel free to contact me so that I can understand your objectives better and do up a analysis for you so that you can have a better idea on which is a better project.

Regards,

Hi,
A lot depends on your preference. Besides price, there is also the capital appreciation in the future that you would need to consider. Location wise, PG is in a much better location compared to The Atelier. Though The Atelier is FH, I would say PG's integrated development would be a better bet for the future as people tend to look at conveniences these days more than anything else. The younger generation also do not bother much about FH, 999 or 99.

There are other benefits which I cannot openly mention due to the info being sensitive if discussed on this forum. I can share them privately. Do contact me
Cheers!
