Jump On Board with the October Launches

It’s that time of the month once again, where we zone in on the latest condominium launches to hit the market in the current month.

Coincidentally, all four new launches this month happen to be freehold properties, with three of the launches being located in Singapore’s city centre area. Find out more about these highly sought after properties below and who knows – you may just want to jump on board!

Located in the heart of Bukit Timah is RoyalGreen, which is part of the Allgreen Properties Bukit Timah Collection alongside Juniper Hill and Fourth Avenue Residences.

If you’re one for green living, then this 285-unit freehold development will be the perfect home choice home for you. With an enchanting green landscape surrounding the RoyalGreen blocks, it’s as if you’re an integral part of nature. Seeing as RoyalGreen is rather low-lying with the eight residential blocks going up to a maximum of five storeys, expect pockets of sunlight to shine through the lush greenery that makes you forget any worries and troubles you may have.

The District 10 area, or the Bukit Timah estate, in particular, is especially sought after and it’s no surprise when you add up all the perks that come with staying in the area. To put it simply, Bukit Timah is an estate that’s perfect for young couples and families, with multiple top F&B establishments and amenities in the estate that caters to all ages. Furthermore, the area is home to numerous top schools such as Nanyang Girls’ High School, Methodist Girls’ School (Primary & Secondary), Raffles Girls’ Primary School, Nanyang Primary School, Hwa Chong Institution and National Junior College.

While Bukit Timah was previously known to be inaccessible by public transport (MRTs especially), much has changed over the years. If you choose to reside in RoyalGreen, you can get around conveniently with the development easily accessible by car and public transport. For instance, Sixth Avenue MRT is just a short walking distance away, and it’s around a 15-20 minutes train ride to Singapore’s city centre!

Standing in place of the now-defunct Dunearn Gardens is the new luxury freehold condominium Pullman Residences – a 348-unit development that presents as a top choice both for residency and investing.

The biggest pull (geddit?) is the development’s location in Newton that’s a part of Singapore’s Core Central Region in the prime District 11 area. Ease of connectivity is one of the 30-storey condominium’s biggest assets seeing as Newton MRT is just 150m away, and once you’re there, you’re only a stop away from Singapore’s iconic Orchard Road to enjoy what our world-famous shopping belt has to offer! With Raffles Place being just five MRT stops down, coupled with amenities in the Newton, you can certainly bet rental opportunities will be aplenty.

Yes, it all sounds amazing but as a supper kinda Singaporean, being located near the best late-night food establishments is key. Thus, a huge plus point for Pullman Residence is that it’s situated close by to ever-popular Newton Food Centre so you can enjoy your fair share of seafood dishes should you reside there. I’d be dying to eat Guan Kee Grilled Seafood’s Sambal Stingray every night if I could!

No prizes for guessing where Neu at Novena is located at. Set to TOP in 2023, this 87-unit freehold apartment is one to keep your eye out on especially if you’re looking at a home in Singapore’s Core Central Region (CCR).

Similar to other developments in the CCR, you’ll enjoy convenience all around – be it whether you’re walking, taking public transport or your own transport. To put it into context, Novena MRT is 2 mins away by foot, with Singapore’s Central Business District just six MRT stops down from Novena MRT, and Orchard Road just a 5 mins drive from Neu at Novena. What’s more, Neu at Novena sits amongst 500 retail shops and food outlets within 500m with 11 supermarkets or grocery shops within the 1km radius. Convenience personified I’d say!

If you’re looking at investing in new launches, then Neu at Novena has to be your choice, seeing as the development is situated right beside Health City Novena – a world-class medical hub that encompasses areas of research, education, commercial, leisure and public spaces. With an expected working population of 30,000 by 2020 in the 170,000 sqm integrated healthcare complex, you know there’s a high rental yield with huge capital appreciation potential too!

If you’re not up for city-centre living, then Sengkang Grand Residences might be a better choice for you! And if you’re up for capital gain on your property, you’d want to consider this integrated mixed-development site in Sengkang Central.

You know you can expect great things when real estate powerhouses CapitaLand and CDL come together to play – and that’s precisely what’s happening. We’re getting excited knowing that both parties will work together to transform the 3.7-hectare site (the largest commercial and residential site awarded since 2015) into an integrated community hub comprising of 680 residential units coupled with amenities like hawker centre, community club, and lots and lots of retail and F&B establishments.

Despite being located further up in the Northeast in Sengkang Central, it’ll surprise you how fast it takes to get to the city centre. With direct access to Buangkok MRT station and the upcoming bus interchange, you won’t be short of public transportation options. One of the best things about being located in the Northeast is the Northeast MRT line – that I believe has to be one of, if not THE, fastest MRT lines in Singapore. It’ll take you just 20 minutes to get from Buangkok to Dhoby Ghaut!
