If you’ve been following the Loyang Valley En Bloc saga on this blog, you’ll know April felt like the finish line.

$880 million. Third time lucky. Eight years. Done.

Except it wasn’t done.

The public announcement was just the start of another bout of waiting.

The unsexy part nobody puts in the press release

Since April, we’ve been waiting for completion.

That means both us and the developer grinding through a pile of paperwork and securing the necessary permits before anyone can lock in the final completion date. Until those boxes are ticked, “sold” is still just a headline. You can’t circle a move-out date. You can’t sign on the next place with full confidence. You’re in limbo with a very expensive countdown clock that hasn’t started ticking yet.

It’s the least glamorous chapter of the whole en bloc story. No tender drama. No $880 million figure dropping. Just forms, approvals, and “we’ll update you when we know.”
