It’s been another 3 weeks, and The Minton has still yet to reach temporary occupancy status. No one seems quite certain what’s the cause for the hold-up, but at this point and how long we’d been told key distribution will take, it looks increasingly likely we won’t be starting our renovation for the new home this year at all now, and it’s even a stretch if we’d be able to move in around Chinese New Year next year. It’s a bit of a dampener, since after all the effort we took to get renovation quotations back in September, we’ll have to get updated quotations now by the probable time we get the keys.
Oh well. I swung by for another visit in mostly cloudy weather again. As expected, there wasn’t any real development going on nor changes observed, apart from placement of new exterior furnishings, and what looks like minor touch-up and rectification works still going on.
As before, do check the Flickr Album for the large-sized pictures.
Hi Chek Yang, just called the developer. TOP finally!
Yep, looks like it. The BCA web site has been updated too with the approval notification.=)

Hi CY,
Thank you! :) Hope we can collect the keys soon, kick start reno & get ready for cny! :)
Hi Chek Yang,
What’s the info which u got on your end on the time allocated for key distribution?
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Yian Ping; thanks for the visit to our blog. Residents have started receiving their lawyer letters last week I think, and those lucky few who’ve settled the paperwork and 6 months maintenance fees will be receiving keys this week. AFAIK – the keys for Blocks 12 and 10 are going to get distributed first.
The earlier information we had about how long the entire process will take – given the very large number of units – is up to 6 months, but I think around 3 months is probably more likely.
Thanks, Chek Yang!
Here’s wishing you, your family & to-be residents at Minton
a Merry X’mas & a Happy New Year !! : )
Thanks for the well-wishes, and have a blessed Christmas too, Yian Ping.=)
