The Site Plan//

Livia is set in over 447,000 sq ft of land. It is generally doubling the land size of other projects that have nearly similar number of units. It is one of the largest ones in the East. Livia offers plenty of space between apartment blocks with a complete range of superb condominium facilities - Aqua Zone, Action Zone, Garden Zone and Leisure Zone. Size does matter!

The Floor Plan//

The LIVIA//

 

This long and narrow strip of land connects to the main Livia condo (see Site Plan above) will be made the Action Zone with adventurous facilities such as "Climb Rock", "Netscape", "Xtreme Swing" and even a Tree House. It runs next to a canal of Sungai Api Api. We can see this plot of land every day when passing the driveway to Elias Green.

We Finally Bought Livia Condo

On Saturday, 18 July 2009 we finally placed a deposit to purchase our choice unit @ Livia.

We viewed the show flat when it first launched in July 2008. That time Singapore's property market was at its peak. Then the sub-prime disaster in US continued to unfold, followed by the world financial turmoil - from Singapore's economic plunged into a recession to the global stock market meltdown to the fall of Lehman Brothers, crushing whatever that was left of the consumers' confidence. Like most people did, we decided to wait and see.

12 months later, after having seen few other projects in the near vicinity, we still think that Livia@Pasir Ris Grove is the best one around! Like many suburban condos, Livia' average price psf was minimally affected by the recession. It generally fell less than 10% and started to slowly move up since Q1 . We decided that it is a good time to go in to grab before the price moving up further.

While our mortgage loan application was being approved on Friday, one of our choice units was snapped up just like that. With only a few good high floor units left to choose from we showed up at the sales office 15 minutes before it was opened on Saturday morning. A true "kiasu" attitude. The property agent who is our friend was already there welcoming us with a big smile...........
