Brilliant start, time will tell if it's worth
Bishan is a good area to stay in. Lots of good school, good amenities, safe neighborhood. So far there has been no condo near Bishan MRT until Sky Habitat entered the picture. Location is what gives Sky Habitat it's premium price tag. Being close to the Circle Line + North South Line, not too far from the city, amenities such as Community Centre, Post Office, Supermarkets (even a 24h one), markets. Even a city location may not give you all this. Yet, it's quiet enough, tucked at a less rowdy corner of Bishan near the pool, where traffic isn't too heavy. The condo is iconic looking & looks v nice when you are along the expressway. Designed by Safdie who also designed MBS. The finishings are good, facilities look decent, and so far the management has been excellent. However, except for the sky pool, the other 2 bridges are quite exposed and the lounge sofas will be dirtied very soon. The large terrace space for the corner units are going to be a hassle to maintain. Time will tell if this is worth the price tags homeowners had paid for.Was this review helpful? Report review -

Is it really worth the thought?
Seen the actual units recently. The interior finishing is not of a luxury finishing. Looks prestigious on one glance when past by but u will have a second thought when u really study the internal building and structure. Unit interior- Poor finishing Giving homogeneous tiles and normal bath toilets and kitchen material. One should take a look on what is a luxury condo finishing eg. some proj out there under CDL, UOL developer. Had saw some crack here and there over the external building, with algae growing. Take note that it is a entirely white color building, any flaws can be spotted easily. Most important note is that Sky habitat is comprises of 70% landscaping and exterior structure with only 30% area for residential units. This will definitely result in a much higher maintenance fee in near future and residents will be expected to regularly needing to top up the committee fund for the up-keeping of the building. Else it may affect the property value. At this pricing, one should consider other condos in city fringe area.Was this review helpful? Report review -

A piece of art in the heart of Bishan
Moshie Safdie is Brilliant! His design is a success. All round open, bright and airy, with open views from every unit. An iconic piece of art in the heart of Bishan. New class of home for all its occupants, yet so complete conveniences at its door step.Was this review helpful? Report review -

Stylish design, Convenient Location
Beautiful design, excellent location just minutes away from the Bishan interchange. Good for rental. What's important is the management's taking care of the place.Was this review helpful? Report review -

Early Birds lose big time
Early purchasers paid 20% more as compared to later ones. This meant those who bought first have to (1) pay up earlier (more interest) (2) pay more than what the units are valued now (3) likely lose money and even if there is something to be made, make less than 20% of what the later buyers enjoy. Early birds lose three times.Timing is everything, being first does not win.Was this review helpful? Report review -

Sky Vue
Did some research on Sky Habitat and the neighboring Sky Vue. Seems that Sky Vue is a much better deal with regards to psf $. Sky Vue is also closer to MRT. True, Sky Habitat has an impressive design. But only the complete product will show if that's worth the premium...Was this review helpful? Report review -

design practicality in question...
While acclaimed designers seek to come out with faciful designs to make their mark, the practicality of their designs often come to doubt. Think Reflections @ Keppel - the odd angles and big pillars out of nowhere. Sky Habitat looks to be another such project. The numerous ledges and edges in this design means that rain and dirt stains will build up very fast! And very often algae or mould around these edges as well.... Let's see if I am proven right on this. Not to mention that some of the units, are not even entitled to marble flooring at such psf!Was this review helpful? Report review -
