The parc surrounding
Posted by Mr. William on May 17, 2012
Imagine surrounding condo is selling for 1000-1100psf with no view. This FH project most of the units come with superb view is definitely undervalue.
The new project vision, seahill already selling 1200psf to 1700psf for a 99yrs properties.
And bear in mind this is the only tallest condo in westcoast that is walking distance to the clementi MRT. I recommend this building for: Commercial/School, and .

Pros & Cons
Posted by JT on Mar 24, 2011
Full facilities with some extras like skate park, aqua gym, beach volley ball court that you can only find in The Parc. Lap pool is small in my opinion for a development of this size. MSCP, as many have argued too HDB-ish. There's in fact two MCSP at both ends of the development and basement car park serving all blocks. It serve basic needs with ample lots.
Views - 1 and 2 bedrooms overlooking AYE or HDB. 3 and 4 bedder units have unblock views of the stadium/landed properties/sea/reservoir/pool. Only the middle few blocks are good.
Size - agree that it's small & compact but definitely not mickey mouse size. The laundry area does not serve it's needs as it's too deep and to me it is not a usable space at all. I can't imagine hanging laundry in this space with no air circulation? Many have thought so. Likely hood that one is unable to pick fallen items from the "well" too.
Finishings - Quite standard. Likes the master-room toilet. Above average though I find the bay windows too much wasted space. I recommend this building for: Commercial/School, , and .

Convenient Location, Good Attributes
Posted by KL Chan on Feb 6, 2011
Transportation links are top-notch, with multiple buses just few steps from the condo side gate, easily just hop on any of the 3-5 buses serving similar routes to Orchard, Raffles Place, Marina Bay, Vivocity, etc...and many more buses to other parts of Singapore.
Walking Clementi MRT from the side gate takes comfortably about 8-12 minutes for us. If you just want to go to NTUC and shops and food at Clementi Central, it is even nearer, just across the road in about 5 minutes.
We are also never conscious of walking to MRT, because along the way there are so many shops - guardian, giodarno, food, etc... to keep you occupied and safe.
Facilities are nice, we used the swimming pool and gym, and even on weekends, you still feels quite relaxing and not crowded at all.
Residents are also quite friendly, and we had already had community initiatives organized by neighbors... warm and friendly atmosphere...
Well, I guess there is no "perfect" property for the "perfect Price"...
I know many of the residents are not willing to sell too...
because of the above and many other good attributes more than the lesser perspectives I guess. I recommend this building for: Mixed Uses (e.g. Office/Shopping/Cinema/Hotel/Flat), Convention/Exhibition, Commercial/School, Market/Food Center/Restaurant, Entertainment, , and .

Put off
Posted by MP on Feb 3, 2011
The condo is not walking distance from Clementi MRT. It takes easily 15 min.
I had to carry my child and the stroller up and down the overhead bridges. It was a pain. I cannot do that on a daily basis. There is no transport convenience unless you take a bus to Clementi MRT.
The facilities on offer are not extraordinary. The place is definitely over priced.
The rooms are small. Layout is not good. No wonder nobody want to buy those units.
There is only entrance to the condo. The road leading to the condo is narrow. After occupancy rate increases sure to have a traffic jam -- even if less than 50% occupants use a car.
I think everyone who is writing fantastic reviews are those who want to sell their unit.
Not worth it. I recommend this building for:

Suburban Setting At High End Price Tag
Posted by Drex T on Dec 27, 2010
2. It might be embedded within a HDB estate but good amenities are by no means near. Decent amenities are at best a short bus ride away. Whoever touts this place as surrounded by amenities is obviously not a resident of this project.
i. The Ayer Rajah food center is good but the wet market offers a very limited
selection. The latter is so quiet in the morning that one would think that it
is not opened.
ii. The 24 hour NTUC is near only if you are NOT picking up heavy or/and bulky
items. Serious grocery shopping there is only possible for the fit.
3. Last but not least, at current prices, one would expect a high end living environment. At only 30-40% occupancy, the pool and gym are packed on weekends. I have also witnessed residents commit shocking actions which I have never seen in my previous suburban project.
i. Residents wearing their slippers and crocs into the pools or/and using the
life-saving devices around the pools as floats are common sights.
ii. Have you seen dogs in your condo pools? I have. There are residents who
let their pets take a dip in the pool in the late evening thinking that no one
would see them.
iii. And maybe its because of poor sound proofing, you will be kept awake
by the audible sounds of partying during holiday celebrations. I recommend this building for:

The Parc - Pros, Cons, and Asking Price
Posted by unbiased_review on Dec 5, 2010
(i) freehold
(ii) transport service (particularly, bus services)
(iii) clementi mrt is somewhat closeby (but if it is at a walking distance or not, is debatable).
Cons:
(i) poor interior layout
(ii) the bedroom sizes are too small. For example, in a 3bedroom unit, in the master bedroom, one can put a queen size bed only (with only a very small space left, just to stand and walk). In the other two bedrooms, one can put a single bed only (with only a small space left , just to stand and walk).
(iii) the exterior and common areas are too small for such a big condo with 659 units.
Asking Price: Considering the pros and cons above and aslo the recent transaction records, the asking prices look very unrealistic. Looking at the recent transaction records, particulalrly comparing the transactions in November 2010 with that in October 2010, we can observe a declining trend both in terms of number of transactions and price. But, surprisingly the "asking prices" are increasing very frequently at a faster rate. I recommend this building for:

Poor layout
Posted by LPT on Nov 26, 2010
If you are driving, traffic during the morning and evening peak hour traffic around west coast road will be a bad. This should get worst when more units are being occupied. Also a pity Nan Hua is not within the 1km radius
Only plus point is that it is still within walking distant to Clementi MRT. I recommend this building for: Mixed Uses (e.g. Office/Shopping/Cinema/Hotel/Flat).

Rooms super small
Posted by Mightyleftfoot Wee on Nov 23, 2010
Drive in/out will be a nightmare during peak hrs.
Full facilities, looks pretty standard.
The rooms are amazingly small. Put a queen bed and u r left with no room. forget study table, forget walk-in wardrobe. forget decor. Appears to be designed for midgets. I recommend this building for: Market/Food Center/Restaurant, , and .

Super Condo
Posted by Ben on Oct 10, 2010
The facilities are like a 5 star with a beautiful gym, lazy river, skating rink, beack volley etc - ideal for families with kids.
No wasted spaces - square units with modern fittings.
Finally, it will alsways have a high rental yield with close proximity to Holland Road, Biopolis and Jurong district. I recommend this building for: Mixed Uses (e.g. Office/Shopping/Cinema/Hotel/Flat), Convention/Exhibition, Commercial/School, Market/Food Center/Restaurant, Entertainment, , and .

not for investment
Posted by no good on Jun 28, 2010
demand seems to be a bit soft at the moment.
if you are thinking of rental. same problem. those who cannot sell will try to rent out but find themselves competing with each others
however, if you are buying to stay and prepare to hold long term and likes the location, furnishings. pls go ahead. I recommend this building for:

Great Condo.
Posted by anthony l on Jun 23, 2010
Pros
------
1. MSCP?? Residents' carparks are directly below ground level of the residential blocks.
2. Near to highway, bad fengshui?? I know of another school that think it is good fengshui, and also means very convenient transportation. Tips: option to use the west coast highway and avoid the ERP along AYE :)
3. Next to HDB?? there is only 6-7 blocks including a convenient wet markets and shops :) and immediately beyond is all private estates :)
4. Next to Stadium?? The Parc is build on raised ground to shield residents from street-level activities.
5. Peak hours heavy jam?? Have you been there? Where is LTA?
6. Very far walking distance?? It is so near to all the amenities.
NTUC/Guardian at the heart of Clementi is just 3-5mins stroll,
and the MRT is just another 3 minute away. You wouldn't be bored walking to the MRT along all the shops.
7. 600 over household shares facilities, what u think??
The Parc condos sits one of the largest freehold land in Singapore. It's land is 3-4 times bigger than most property,
more than enough to accommodate the residents and facilities.
Imagine The Parc even has a beach volleyball court and a skate park! I recommend this building for: Mixed Uses (e.g. Office/Shopping/Cinema/Hotel/Flat), Convention/Exhibition, Commercial/School, Market/Food Center/Restaurant, Entertainment, , and .

Buyer please think
Posted by PUTTER on Jun 23, 2010
Many bought on deferred payment scheme. They are desperate to sell b4 TOP. Also, heavy traffic jam during peak hr. At current price, better not buy. . Every one say 2012 shall be a recession year.
think how must you can sell in future
Con
------
1. MSCP (no diff with HDB)
2. Near to highway, bad fengshui
3. Next to HDB (People can see)
4. Next to Stadium (Noisy)
5. Peak hours heavy jam
6. Very far walking distance overhead bridge (why pay and have to walk, what about old folks climbing
J. just one u-turn to go in Parc, thing of 600 over householder sharing
7. 600 over household shares facilities, what u think I recommend this building for:

Modern Beautiful, Freehold Development
Posted by sean seah on Jun 14, 2010
First, The Parc is the only Freehold And High-Rise (24-storey) development in the vicinity and probably whole of D5.
Second, The Parc is very near to many amenities and a 6-10mins stroll to MRT/Clementi Town/Mall and compared to most other development in the area. The upcoming revamped Empress Cinema Complex in the heart of Clementi Town is just 3-5 mins walk away. The nearest units of The Parc sit at a comfortable distance of at least 80m-100m away from AYE.
Third, it is modern and majestic looking, more than ample "basement" carparks are just below the units, Living, Dining and Master toilet come with marble furnishings and all rooms laid with Timber flooring.
and
All Units are equipped with the latest Samsung slim-touch Digital Lock for front door. Wow!
No wonder it is the 2nd most popular property for the whole of Singapore sub-sale market for the Jan-Apr 2010 according to Business Timesnews headlines on 4th June 2010:
" This year, up to April, One Amber in Katong had the most subsale transactions (51 deals), followed by The Parc Condominium in West Coast (41 deals) and Marina Bay Residences (MBR) with 39 subsales. One Amber and MBR received TOP in April; The Parc Condominium's TOP is expected in Q3." I recommend this building for: Mixed Uses (e.g. Office/Shopping/Cinema/Hotel/Flat), Convention/Exhibition, Commercial/School, Market/Food Center/Restaurant, Entertainment, , and .

Pales in comparison
Posted by Kenny on Apr 27, 2010
This development is very conveniently located between West Coast amenities (market, hawker, West Coast Plaza, Harborfront, Sentosa) and Clementi Central (air-con bus interchange, Clementi Mall, Clementi Stadium, etc.) Driving to the city is a breeze although I don't understand why someone commented on traffic congestion along AYE when all you need is to take a short 10min cruise along West Coast Highway to CBD. He obviously doesn't stay in D5 or doesn't drive to work.
Cons:
Now to the other side of the balancing scale. The exterior of this development looks like some HDB estates in Pungol, Sengkang or CCK. If you don't believe me, drive along these estates and see what I mean. In fact, the near proximity to another HDB estate all the more makes it blend into the environment. MSCP is another major disappointment. This development expects some or most of its residents to use the MSCP which is less convenient when compared to some other mass market condos with basement carparks that links directly to your lift lobby. The facilities are nothing to shout about. As someone else already pointed, a better development by CDL nearby (Hundred Trees) is going to TOP in 2013, this makes The Parc pale in comparison.

Nice west coast area.
Posted by anthony on Apr 19, 2010
don't worry too much about the traffic, it's worst in most parts of singapore. Leave the problem to LTA.
The Parc itself has many pros.
No wonder there are so many buyers as compared to all other sub-sale/re-sale condo projects. Just checked ura caveats, there are over 20+ purchases in march alone, compared to under 5 for most others with so many sellers but no buyers. I recommend this building for:

traffic headache on west coast rd once it TOP
Posted by scott on Apr 19, 2010
as it is presently, rush hour traffic is very bad along this west coast road in the mornings and evenings. With so many big size developments here carabelle, botannia, infiniti, There's always a huge jam into the slip road towards AYE .
600+ units with probably 1.5 times car population .
There's no way you can turn out from the clementi stadium singletrack into west coast road once the parc goes TOP.
little wonder that i see so many sellers in this development I recommend this building for:

Ok for own stay but not for investment
Posted by Anna on Mar 23, 2010
- Nearby amenities - supermarket.
- Near educational institutions - NUS, SP.
Cons:
- Too many units to share common facilities
- Within HDB estate (this depends on your perspective. HDB upgraders generally do not see this as a con)
- Near major highway
- Location (west, not near enough to city)
Neutral:
- Accessibility to public transport - although it is possible to walk to MRT, it is not near enough, probably 8-10 mins. Tired to cross overhead bridges, esp for old folks.
Overall, i think it is ok for own stay but not gd for investment. I recommend this building for:

Enjoy ALL Sides Glass Windows! Great Views!
Posted by Sean on Mar 23, 2010
From the interior, most units can enjoy multiple unique views from the same unit that changes from one sides to the other - Bukit Timah hills, Kent Ridge Park, Jurong East Gateway City, Pandan Reservoir, West Coast Sea.... just to name a few.
With 8-year-old HDBs along Clementi going around $500-600+psf,
and 99-year leasehold mass market condo at West Coast going at $1100-1200psf,
and premium condos going at $2000-3000+psf,
It hard not to spot a great home and investment value in The Parc.
The Freehold land prices that The Parc sits on is already worth more that $550-650psf in todays market, not forgetting the wonderful development itself. I recommend this building for:

HDB??
Posted by Jak on Mar 23, 2010
Yes, if you bought it for own stay, i say ignore what others say. It is your home and noone has the right to say anything.
BUT if you are a investor, and you bought it at above 700psf, you are in deep trouble. If you are a flipper, good for you...you deserve it!
For all those agents and sellers trying to dispose this property...no point to argue here. This is not a premium development and rental isn't going to be great; neither is capital gain. It is a good place to call home but that is it. I recommend this building for: Commercial/School and .

Best Condo in West Coast / Clementi
Posted by jenny on Mar 13, 2010
Are you joking or what??
By what You said "I've stayed in Clementi area for more than 20 yrs, I seriously don't think it is possible to walk from the condo to mrt station, even if u RUN!"
- all of us already know you are speaking nonsense.
I am been walking from Clementi MRT to the West Coast Stadium and Recreational center all the while so conveniently - there is even 3 overhead bridges - yes! 3 overhead bridges and all covered sheltered, all for the convenient of residents walking in that areas.
"even if you RUN?" - hahaha I could just leisurely stroll across....
you must have missed the property boat and now desperate. well don't know to explain everyone can see the FACTS. I recommend this building for: Mixed Uses (e.g. Office/Shopping/Cinema/Hotel/Flat), Convention/Exhibition, Commercial/School, Market/Food Center/Restaurant, Entertainment, , and .

Towering Parc, Great Beautiful Condo!
Posted by peter ting on Mar 10, 2010
I am also writing this review to make same facts - yes facts! rather than conjectures.
1. It is on a BIG plot of FREEHOLD land.
Land size is about 370,000 sqft.
This compares to abt 270,000 sqft of nearby 999lh hundred trees condo, which itself is already quite big nowadays (mostly less than 200,000 sqft).
2. Most listings on sites like propertyguru here are either duplicated and just empty listings - agents flooding the postings to get their advertisements more visible and thus their contact info up on top or every of the pages the users browse.
You just need to click the listings details content and you will know that easily over 80% of them does not list or corresponds to any specific unit at all. Some even just blank listings - very irritating to user looking for real listing info.
3. The Parc is hot! it's has all the inherent features - mrt, amenities, clementi town, schools etc, private estates, business parks, shopping malls, green parks...
You just have to see the number of real caveat transactions in Feb with URA to know the real interest levels, and continuing rising gradually.
4. The Parc is 24th storey high, compared to all the nearby condos which are at most 12th storeys,
thus affording a great paranomic views.
And many more.
Just have to take you time to find the facts.
not conjectures! I recommend this building for: Mixed Uses (e.g. Office/Shopping/Cinema/Hotel/Flat), Convention/Exhibition, Commercial/School, Market/Food Center/Restaurant, Entertainment, , and .

Not exclusive as a condo, no premium value.
Posted by Ngeow Chee Hong on Mar 10, 2010
Saw that most reviews are favourable. Wonder if agents themselves put in good reviews in order to get good price for the sale. Buyers must go n c for ownself. I find the land area too small and open. Not exclusive as a condo, no premium value. I recommend this building for:

Oversupply??
Posted by ng on Mar 10, 2010
616 units is alot!!!
Even if there is duplications - say EVERY sellers get 2 agents and BOTH agents post here, It's still about 300+units up for sale.
Which means 50% of the owners are still selling?! If they continue to jack up the price too high i dun tink they'll be buyers dumb enough to get it at because they can get 'Hundred Trees' at 912 psf!!!
Hundred trees is 999 yrs which is comparable to a freehold. And if it TOP in 2013, property market will just be in time to catch the boom. And by then The Parc will be considered old as there are so many launches this year.
So I'll earn more if i get Hundred Trees. I recommend this building for:

More for own stay
Posted by onlooker on Feb 6, 2010
My 2 cents worth to this is: (1) prospective buyers and renters will have to go take the hotly contested walk for themselves to determine if this is something they can imagine themselves doing in our weather and given the climb up and down the overhead bridge . I, however, do not think it is a 5-minute walk. With brisk walking, one may probably make it within 10 minutes.
(2) We have to bear in mind that nothing is a given especially when it comes to investments. Besides, Singapore is such a dense place in terms of housing that The Parc may not necessarily be the most competitive in terms of distance and pricing, for rental. This is especially if landlords are hoping to attract top dollars from the IR, Biopolis and educational institutes. There are many other condos, flats and houses nearer these places for renting (but of course, these places could be older or more expensive).
These 2 issues aside, I don't see how its enormity is an advantage. Personally, I prefer a more exclusive feel. Living with 658 other units and with an average of 3 per unit (arbitrary average), would mean sharing the facilities with approximately 2000 others. Of course the facilities and landscaping have to be upsized to accomodate this! Besides, as a working adult with no children, I don't think I'll be using the facilities much, except for the gym and pool, which can be found in all condos.
At the end of the day, I feel that this development has its strengths in being placed in a mature HDB estate though I wouldn't bank on it being an investment. I recommend this building for: Commercial/School.

Great for Investment and Own Stay!
Posted by Jonathon on Jan 29, 2010
I live near the area so pass by very often:
1. There is a COVERED walkway including 2 covered overhead bridges connecting the condo to the Clementi town directly from the bus-stop right infront at the doorsteps.
Getting to Clementi town center with NTUC and all the amenities like Banks, Clinics etc is just 5 minutes easy stroll.
To MRT and the new future Huge Clementi Mall (with Integrated Bus Interchange and Library) is just a further 2-3 minutes comfortably along way the various shops (all sheltered).
If you don't even want to walk 5 minutes to Clementi Town Center,
just across in front of the Condo 50-100 meters is West Coast Recreation center with restaurants (e.g. Jack's place) and convenient stores.
Among the landed houses 20 meters in front also has cosy restaurants, cafe, pet shops etc..
Behind the condo 50-100 meters is the West Coast Wet Market and Center Shops!!
15minutes walk or 1 bus-stops away is the West Coast Plaza (Ginza plaza) with Cold Storage, Shushi teh, Starbucks etc...
The Parc condo is the only LARGEST FREEHOLD (375,000 sqft freehold land, 2-3 times bigger land than most large condos) in the west coast/clementi area and yet is near to MRT and amenities.
The Parc condo is the one and only HIGH-RISE condo that is more than 12th storey high in the clementi/west coast area, with beautiful unblocked various views of Pandan reservoir, Kent Ridge parks, and Bukit Timah hills.
The layout is such that almost all units has views from 3 sides (270 degree views).
Beside MRT, it is very well connected with buses to Vivo city, SunTec, Shenton way just at the bus stop in front of condo.
Rentals is a given asa it is close to many Business Parks (IBP, Science Parks, Jurong Island etc, Jurong Gateway Hub) and Educational Institutions (NUS, Sing Poly, MediaPolis, Biopolis, University Town, Japanese schools etc) I recommend this building for: Mixed Uses (e.g. Office/Shopping/Cinema/Hotel/Flat), Convention/Exhibition, Commercial/School, Market/Food Center/Restaurant, Entertainment, , and .

A Gem Not To MISS
Posted by Sng Yin Koon on Aug 4, 2009
I don't mind it is surrounded by HDB flats,it's in mature estate where market/food ctr/eateries/cinema and upcoming shopping complex is within walking distance.It offers big variety and great value in shopping and dinning experiences.Travelling is also convenient for those without car as mrt and bus interchange is within walking distance.
Stadium/West coast park and recreational ctr is walking distance.
It is near to world class educational institutions NUS/United world college of S.E.A/Singapore Polytechnic etc.
It is near to area where government is pumping billion-dollar in developing:
- commercial ctr at Jurong Gateway
- tourist attractions and parks complemented by water
activities at lakeside
- redevelopment of the Business Park
- Biopolis and Fusionoplis at one north,media park will follow
Overall it's promoting work,live,learn and play lifestyle around the area.Hence more foreign students,expats and professionals will move in and thus the rental opportunity is higher.If not for investing it will be also a very good place to live in. I recommend this building for: Convention/Exhibition, Commercial/School, Market/Food Center/Restaurant, , and .

Overpriced, not worth.
Posted by PC Lim on Jul 30, 2009
The currently forming Singapore "sub-prime area bubble" has listings for this condo going in the range over $900-1200 psf.
In my opinion, this is way off the long term price worth, as it is:
1. Surrounded by HDB blocks.
If you had surveyed the area, you would have known how narrowly close are the units built to the facing HDB blocks!!
2. Units either face the HDB, or they face the AYE or the Stadium, so you can imagine if it would be noisy.
3. Distance to the MRT is actually not near. It's about 0.65KM away by straight line mapping, and by walking path it's actually ever further...
Also, you have to cross an overhead bridge which is not convenient for old folks or those with knee problems or trolley bags. The nearest traffic lights where you can circumvent to walk to the MRT is at least 3-4 bus stops away.
The other problems now is the bubble forming due to low interest rate to borrow now, about 1.9%, but if this interest goes to a more realistic 3-4% in 3-5 years time, the monthly loan interests would have doubled and those who speculate or those who buy at such high prices would have serious problems.
Additionally there is an unknown risk to this project as it is jointly developed
by Chip Eng Seng and the now bankrupt Lehman Brothers.
There is very little transparency on how the units owned by Lehman Brother's share portion of the joint venture will be dealt with.
Will Lehman Brother's creditors be able to stake some claims to this or possibilities of law suites by creditors to stake such claims?
I don't think the current prices are realistic and sustainable in medium term due to the above issues, with some issues peculiar to the Parc condo. I recommend this building for:

fantastic buy
Posted by Lee Damien on Jul 25, 2009
If you enjoy high living, at a high floor above 15, depending on your unit, you will likely get unblocked view of West Coast park, overlooking the sea, pandan reservoir as well as Dover Park, Kent Ridge, Bukit Timah area. You can be assued of its invesment value.
15 mins to CBD by drive, 10 mins drive to Vivo city and Sentosa Integrated Resort, 5 to 10 mins drive to Science Park, Biopolis and Boeno Vista.
Needless to say, excellent fengshui. I recommend this building for: Mixed Uses (e.g. Office/Shopping/Cinema/Hotel/Flat), Convention/Exhibition, Commercial/School, Market/Food Center/Restaurant, Entertainment, , and .
