How to get a VIP preview appointment
- Register your interest so we can send you the e-brochure, floor plans and price list as soon as they are released.
- Check your budget early. Get an in-principle approval (IPA) from a bank, and work out your stamp duty and down payment with our calculator.
- Book a preview slot. We will confirm your appointment time and send the showflat address.
- Shortlist 3 to 5 units. Popular stacks go fast on booking day, so have a few back-up choices.
What to check at the showflat
Show units vs. floor plans
Showflats often display upgraded fittings and open up walls. Compare the show unit with the actual floor plan and the fittings list.
The site model
Find your stack on the model. Check the facing, what sits below it (pool, road or interchange) and which blocks it overlooks.
Fittings and finishes
Ask for the specification sheet: kitchen appliances, flooring, sanitary ware, air-conditioning and smart home features.
Interchange and hawker access
Ask how residents reach the interchange and hawker centre, and where the separate residential lobbies and drop-off points are.
Booking day and balloting
For large launches, developers usually run a ballot. Buyers submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) with a cheque. Each buyer gets a queue number, and you choose units in that order on booking day. On the day itself:
- Bring your NRIC or passport, your cheque book and your IPA.
- Have your shortlist ready, with back-up stacks in case your first choice is taken.
- Pay the 5% booking fee to receive the Option to Purchase (OTP).
- The developer sends the Sale and Purchase Agreement. You sign it and pay the balance of the first 20% within eight weeks of the OTP date.
