City Developments (CDL)

Hi there,

I've seen the facebook page which gives a good read, very interesting.
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Suit-307-...7084677424

In it, it compares the floor plan between The Rainforest and Blossom Residences, both penthouse unit, developer is CDL. The Rainforest was launch immediately after Blossom. The contrast shows the inconsistency in the floor plan, whereby BR concealed the void while RF clearly shows the void over living/dining.

If say the void was not revealed during OTP but only S&P, then i think the couple has a case. If i remember correctly the URA rules to have all the information available to buyer before exercise OTP effective April 2012, then it could be due to one of many such cases, which URA is in the position to ensure buyers get all these info before they sign on the dotted line, buyers are then protected and know what they are paying for ....

More interestingly if you compare and you'll be surprised by the difference:

Type B2PH1
Can obtain from http://www.cdl.com.sg/blossomresidences/
Go to Interiors > Floor Plans > B2PH1
From the floor plan, there’s no “VOID” space mentioned and you hardly know if there’s any void.

http://www.cdl.com.sg/therainforest/floo...types.html
Go to B2PH. The floor plan clearly specified (including open balcony and high ceiling / void at living & dining). It also shows a picture with a cross in a box denoting “void over living/dining”.

Can CDL explain why there's such inconsistency ?

what are all the information that has to be made available before OTP, ura ruling?

Hi Pianist,
Is this what you're looking for?

I guess CDL is a bit over-react but it reflects a TRUELY Singapore mentality.

Not only they are so confidence but also counter-sue the couples for cheating...

BTW, Pianist, when you read the URA OTP form, do take special note of the date of the amendment.

chialc, SPOT ON. I think you got very good info from URA and this was dated "First published in the Government Gazette, Electronic Edition, on 18th April 2012 at 5.00 pm."
Esp. Page 17 which is rather detailed that void areas now need to be specified :

2Balconies (excluding planter boxes/planting
areas within or attached to the balcony)
___ square metres (approx.)
2Bay windows (not being part of any room
or area listed above)
___ square metres (approx.)
2Private enclosed spaces ___ square metres (approx.)
2Roof terraces ___ square metres (approx.)
2All planter boxes/planting areas forming
part of the property
___ square metres (approx.)
2Air-conditioner ledges ___ square metres (approx.)
2Void areas ___ square metres (approx.)
2Others (e.g. foyer) — please specify ___ square metres (approx.)

This is the focus which the case was about ....
