BUANGKOK WOODS

1. This development consists of 711 units of pure residential enclave without commercial component. The land itself is about 2ha with plot ratio of 3.0.
2. This development will be the last plot of development within this enclave which consists of Buangkok Tropica, Buangkok Edgeview, Buangok Parkvista and mixed development of Buangkok Sq (as shown in images above). This development is not one of TOD (transport oriented development) due to distance away from the Buangkok MRT which is more than 500m and close to 1km.   
3. The site is sited next to The Institute of Mental Health and across Buangkok Drive will be 1 long strip of land amounted to 14ha reserved for Business 1 land use. Immediately next to this B1 land use is another 15ha of land reserved under white land use which is not determine yet. Further north will be land use for transport which is currently occupied by SBS transit.      
4. The MSCP was place along Buangkok Link to act as buffer separating the institute. The designer seems to be bogged down too much on getting the units all facing true north south rather than take advantage of the site to maximise the common green area to the west and internal green space.  
5. We won’t dwell much into the amenities as you can access all these data from government website apart from all the info given in the HDB site plan and website.
6. In terms of pricing comparison, we have in our database record for most units (except rental units if any) for Hougang Capeview (2011), Hougang Dewcourt (2011), Hougang Parkedge (2013), Hougang Crimson (2013) and Hougang Meadow (2013) to give you a better idea of how price on each level should be rather than comparing on average pricing or range bound which doesn’t give an accurate representation and leading to future losses. Buangkok developments were all concentrated at the same enclave and were launched almost within 2 years span from September 2014 onward; price movement would not be as visible.  Compassvale Helm (2013) and Compassvale Ancilla (2011) are both too close to Buangkok MRT and will not give a clear reflection of price movement. 

       "Your attention to detail which you helped me understand the various concept of wind direction, sun analysis and unit facing is indeed a league of its own." 
- Brownstone EC resident (2016)

​​For 1st or 2nd timer buyer, you will have to ask yourself these questions:

1. How will future B1 land use development affect your unit? How the dust flow, etc…
2. What is the wind exposure to your unit? Where and when?
3. Will you get a better view rather than seeing other blocks? To what extend?
4. Will the sun shade provided by the design enough to shield you from hot afternoon sun? Sizes of window hood and position will lead to different outcome but you will know years in advance!
5. What is the price upside potential for your selection? Different level have a difference price jump as recorded in all developments.
6. How near are the building blocks facing each other and is it good enough for privacy?
7. How will your unit look like? Knowing the space will allow you to plan your purchase years in advance and phase out your budget and get the best deal in town when you find one! Our 3D model has been tested by users and currently it can be used as VR model as well. Accuracy is the key to make better informed decision.
8. Should you go for the cheapest unit? You will be surprised as pricing for previous launches have shown many good catches which others with good Q number misses and landed with bad decision!
