Filed Under Food delivery | Leave a Comment
You live in a condominium apartment. You lead a busy life, working 12 hour days, and you usually eat out. Occasionally you’d like to enjoy a meal in the comfort of your home. But you don’t cook. The solution ? Order in.
These people will deliver food to you, which makes this list of phone numbers a must-have for every condominium owner.
Pizza
The ubiquitous pizza delivery. Round piece of dough with your choice of condiments scattered on top, and baked in an oven until crispy brown. Hopefully.
Pizza Hut – 6235-3535 – the original home delivery pizza chain. With the usual favourites of Super Supreme and Hawaiian. Additional plus point – you can order fried chicken from Kentucky Fried Chicken in the same delivery too.
Canadian Pizza – 6241-0241 – delivery-only pizza chain with no dining in restaurants to speak of. They have a perpetual one-for-one promotion.
Sarpino’s Pizzeria – 6345 -1121 ( East ) / 6473-7331 ( West ) / 6836-6554 ( Downtown ) – different numbers to call depending on where you are, but pretty decent pizza.

The property market in Singapore has seen a significant upturn in recent months, led first by the high end private property market, and subsequently followed by en-bloc fever, where owners of developments large and small, from east to west, have banded together to sell their properties for burgeoning, even inflated prices. Just how far will it go ?
There is no doubt that high end property prices in Singapore have quite a bit of room to grow. But sadly, these areas are limited, and the growth will be slow.
The booming en-bloc market will stop. Whether it will end with a slow u-turn or a crash is not certain, but it will end when property developers realise that it just does not make sense to pay excessive prices for en-bloc land parcels, or when land developers fork out these amounts, and subsequently crash because of the losses the suffer when their projects fail.
It’s not all bad news, though. En-bloc owners who make their fortune now could rent a place, and snap up property, maybe even two units, when the property market slides. If you’re not in a hurry to buy, we say, wait and see.
But till then, owners have it good. It’ll last a while, but if we at condohub had to put a date on the downturn, it’ll be sometime end 2008 or early 2009. Remember, you heard it here first.

CapitaLand looks set to acquire Gillman Heights condominium for $548 million. This is a record of sorts, eclipsing the previous en bloc sale record of $385 million paid by Frasers Centrepoint and Far East Organisation for Waterfront View opposite Bedok Reservoir.
The former-HUDC 607 unit development sits on an 836,432-sq-ft, 99-year leasehold site along Alexandra Road, just conveniently off Ayer Rajah Expressway. The offer equates to $363 per square foot per plot ratio, inclusive of a differential premium of $90 million to top up the lease to 99 years and to increase the plot ratio to 2.1.
CapitaLand has plans to redevelop the site into a 24-storey condominium with gardens and full condominium facilities, with an estimated 1,200 units, designed for families with children studying nearby, and professionals working in the nearby institutes.
While more than 80 per cent of owners have approved the sale, the transaction is still subject to approval by the Strata Title Board.

Part time cleaning services
Filed Under Domestic help, Property News | Leave a Comment
Most new condominium apartments are pretty small, often too small to accomodate a full time stay-in domestic helper. Yet, given your long working hours, you hardly have time to clean, but you’d appreciate a clean apartment to come back to every evening.
one choice you have is a part time cleaning service. People who’d come and clean up your place once or twice a week, sparing you the hassle of cleaning. It might cost any from a hundred dollar or so, to a few hundred a month.
Here are a few companies that offer part time cleaning services.
