We\u2019d been meaning to go by to take a look at the ongoing construction of our new home but kept putting it off. Our friend Ann had also purchased an apartment at The Minton too. She showed over our cell-group meeting yesterday evening pictures of a recce visit they did a few days back, so we decided to go by too to take a look in person.<\/p>\n

Found the place without too much difficulty.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At least a year and a half more to completion!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are several vantage points, all of which will give you an idea of the sheer size of the project. We\u2019d thought that our current home The Rivervale was a large project at 671 units; but The Minton tops it at 1145 units; nearly double that number. The HDB block we went up for our first site visit was 158, which is somewhat on the left hand size of The Minton.<\/p>\n

Our agent had advised last week that construction was currently at about four to five levels, so we were surprised to see that our cluster of blocks (the centre of the picture, and below) is already at level ten.<\/p>\n

Block 10, 10A and B.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our block and unit can\u2019t be seen from this angle here. I think Ling\u2019s gonna be peering into the large resolution versions of these pictures here to get a better sense of the sizes of the front and back unit balconies.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll probably check out the view from another block at the next visit. =)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
