HDB Ubi Grove launched in February 2018
Cecil Lee replied to Cecil Lee's topic in Singapore Property Review
Part 6A - Case Study: History of the plot of land where this new development now occupies From 1966 to 1975, HDB Ubi Grove would have been situated on Jalan Mempelam, Jalan Delima, Jalan Jagong .. Jagong simply means maize... Jalan Bawang means onions, Jalan Halia = Malay for ginger, Jalan Lada = pepper... Jalan Berangan means Chestnuts... Jalan Lobak = radish.. Jalan Kubis = cabbage.. Jalan Delima = pomegranate.. Interestingly, there is also another road called Jalan Tauge which literally means Beans Sprouts... these colourful road are no more. Thus in the future, if you are a resident here, do spread the word about the past names of your estate. and be proud to live in an estate that has a very colourful past. All the above roads mainly with Malay names have totally disappeared. Jalan Kachang means Peanuts Road.. Your proposed new home at HDB Ubi Grove is within the outer perimeter of what was known as Geylang Serai Village. The previous road names implies that this was predominantly a Malay settlement in the past. In 1985, the government cleared this piece of land for mixed development of HDB housing /schools and industrial. By 1995, HDB flats were developed and SME industrial workshops were also completed. The roads now spot dull names such as Ubi Avenue 2 running East to West; and Ubi Avenue 3 running from North to South... In 2007, the school Maha Bodhi and more landmarks arrived:- Overall, this piece of land gets a “clean bill of health” as it was never a cemetery. -

Part 4 - Case Study: Look out for units close-to Central Rubbish Bins Units diagonal to the central rubbish bins = 54, 56, 86, 118 & 120. For example, standing outside the main door; one can see into the central rubbish bin. Units near to central rubbish bins = 152, 154, 156 & 158 The worse case is that of stacks 16 and 30 where the central rubbish bins are sharing it's small wall. -

Part 4 - Case Study of HDB Ubi Grove with a site reserved for place of worship: Temple/Church/Mosque? Given that there are so many 4 Bedroom stacks to choose from in this development. It would be better to avoid selecting stacks highlighed in PINK: stacks 12, 14, 16, 28, 30, 32, 34, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90 & 92. As there is a stigma attachment to having a home that has a view of a temple. There is no indication yet as to whether it will be a mosque, church or temple. Case Study: Is there an issue if my unit directly faces the cross on a church's roof? Depending on where the church places a cross. Some churches place it on the tip of their buidling or on the face of their building. -

Part 3 - There are two Precinct Pavilions in this development It is good that the planners place the two precinct pavilions to the side of the development. Only one stack Block 357D #124 directly faces a pavilion. While it's sister stack #126 is to the side. For these two stacks best to select a unit at least 6 storeys high to avoid looking into the pavilion and the unexpected noise .. in the event of prayers at a wake/funeral. For Block 356A with stacks #10 #12, try to purchase a higher floor unit. To avoid the din or noise in the event of a wake/funeral at the precinct pavilion Block 355. -

Capital Tower at Robinson Road was originally planned and built by POSBank in the early 2000’s to be it’s new HQ. The bank was suppose to move into this new “Rocketship design” around 2003 from it’s existing HQ at Bras Basah Road. But when DBS took over the bank.. this was history. Today, CapitaLand and anchor tenants GIC, JP Morgan occupies the floors.

Guidelines on: Is this block good?
Cecil Lee replied to Cecil Lee's topic in Singapore Property Review
There is often a stigma associated with purchasing or living next to a hospital. As you mentioned, there can be objections from parents, and in the future, this may impact the resale value. This concern is even greater if the unit directly faces or has a full view of the hospital. If you are unsure, it is best to avoid these units. From a practical standpoint, avoid units facing the Pathology department or any hospital collection point where deceased bodies are held for identification or autopsy. This is the main consideration to keep in mind. In some cases, you can even see HDB blocks or condos like Eastpoint Green directly facing a hospital. The latest example is The Vales at Sengkang, and many of the HDB flats shown here also face similar situations as you described. If you are unsure, don’t proceed—unless the purchase price is truly a rock-bottom bargain. -
It is common for geomancers to ask to place metal between the work area and the home.

If you can do so within the month of February or latest is by mid March is a plus. And not drag further. Thus the idea is to do it early before the year gets entrenched..

Just T.O.P. Visiting site soon -
Sophia Hills is under construction. In 1965, this plot of land housed Methodist Girls school until the mid 1980’s: From mid-1995, the premises house John Wesley Centre until it was demolished in the 2000’s:- Today (2018) The plot is now Sophia Hills:- P.S. Today, John Wesley Centre (a Church) is now in Bukit Timah, on 496 Upper Bukit Timah Road. For info it is also Methodist (Church). In the future, residents there can say that their homes are on Holy grounds! Not bad for resale marketing.. should one try to exit (sell) this place in the near future..
