DBSS @ Clementi has been named Trivelis, and is located along Clementi Ave 4. The indicative pricing and configuration are as follows:
| 3 room | 60 sqm (222 units) | from $375,000 to $470,000 | 60 sq m: Big A/c Ledge (~3 sqm) 60 sq m: Big A/c Ledge (~0.9 sqm) |
| 4 room | 80-82 sqm (518 units) | from $530,000 to $650,000 | 80 sq m: Big A/c Ledge (~3 sqm); Living Room w/ Balcony (~5.9 sqm) 81 sq m: Big A/c Ledge (~3 sqm); Living Room w/ Balcony (~5.9 sqm) 82 sq m: Big A/c Ledge (~4 sqm); Living Room w/ Balcony (~5.9 sqm) |
| 5 room | 105 sqm (148 units) | from $658,000 to $770,000 | 105 sq m: Big A/c Ledge (~4.9 sqm); Living Room w/ Balcony (~12 sqm) |
You can take a look for more information here. If you look at the DBSS @ Yuan Ching, the highest price is about the price of the 4 room flat. Judging purely from psf interior area pricing perspective, the flats are super expensive. The interior area for a 3-room flat is 57sqm to 59sqm; 4-room flat is 70sqm to 72sqm; 5-room flat is 88 sqm. Translated, the interior area of a 5-room flat is smaller than a typical HDB 4 room flat.
The other interesting thing was that based on the floor plan, it seems that there is a very odd-shaped balcony for the 4-room flat. Seems rectangular in shape, and doesn't fit the shape of the living room. Not sure why. Seems like there's also a built-in wardrobe included, which is interesting as the interior area is so small.
According to the map, the DBSS is about 450m away from Clementi MRT station so location wise, it is quite okay. There are a couple of primary schools like Pei Tong, Nan Hua and Clementi nearby (not next to the development like others) so that's also a plus.
The Centrale8 post includes some of the calculations I did to see if it fits into my affordability matrix so I will not repeat it here. One word (at least for me). No. Too expensive for a HDB flat. A private HDB flat (a.k.a DBSS flat) is still a HDB flat. It's not even an executive condo.
