The Pinnacle@Duxton, Singapore

[DayDreaming]

Dear all, i intend to get a unit from HDB but dunno which blk to choose, can someone advise? I like pinnacle at duxton, finally hdb launch the balance unit but the pricing seems high.. =( Which blk can see the NDP Parade? Whick blk hav nice nite view? Can someone pls advice? Hoping i can be part of this big family.. =)

Firstly, no blocks here can see the NDP parade. P@D is just too far away to view the parade at the Marina Floating Platform. And when the new stadium is completed in 2015, future parade will be held at the stadium instead. Only for every 4th year, the parade will move back to the Padang.

Nice night view? Just take a stroll on the 50th Skybridge at about 6.45pm to 7pm to see for yourself..

It really depends on your finances. Nobody is in a good position to advise you other than yourself or close ones.

Good luck on your application and selection.

I can imagine the excitment all those who get to select a flat here cos all of us here also went thru it many moons ago. Lol.

While i generally agree wit the other comments here, my view is also t o be cautiously optimistic. Seems like if ur a 1st timer applying, most likely yr loan will be 400k & above unless u have financial support from other areas. It implies that u def. Need a dual income family & have a backup plan if 1 person becomes temporary unemployed. I have seen 4 or 5 peers lose their job during the last financial crisis and we were only abt 30 at that time. Not 45 or 55. So do yr planning & choose a unit that ur comfortable with.

Come down 1 day and stay the day! See where the sun hits in the morn, noon n evening. Explore the grounds and the skybridge to get yr vantage pt. 1st batch of owners dun have the opportunity n had to do some calculated guesswork so now its easier since everythg is built already. Best of luck!

Stay whole day for public??

Public entrance to the 50th SB opens from 10am to 10pm. Not possible to catch a glimsp of sunrise for public. No toilet facilities on SB sure will need to exit in order to relieve nature calls. Public don't have the luxury of our access card to facilitate unlimited entries and exits.

Pinnacle's facade is a bit complicated plus all the unit have different orientation.. Guess some groundwork is indeed necessary.

actually for a 1st timer to be able to afford, you must be really loaded, i remember when i first bought it with now current wifey donkey years ago, we were struggling with the downpayment, and hv to settle for S1 instead of S2..

[DayDreaming]

Actually not loaded la, i have been working for past 7yrs so my cpf have enuff to pay for the downpayment. Currently all HDB pricing are on the high side since the past years. After i seen P@D since completed, i fell in love with the place then now it have sale of balance flat so i grab..

So how u find the location? Enjoying ur stay there?

[A25]

Exactly in which aspects u fell in love wif P@D ?? Curious to noe

[DayDreaming]

[Armadillo]

For me, benefit stay at P@D:
1. Location in the central.
2. I can jog at 26th skybridge
3. 50th skybridge view (although hardly go up)
4. Near to 3 MRT stations: TP, Outram EW line and Outram NEL.
5. I have very kind neighbour same floor with me.
6. Have best forum
7. Hence from forum, we know many other neighbour.
8. After 2 years, everything just get better
