With the numerous condominiums being launched every month, developers need to be more innovative to try to pull in sales – be it for residency or investments.
While they can’t control the development’s location once it’s been settled, much can be done about what goes into the condominium. While facilities may not hold much weight for some, it does for others. Considering the monthly fees you’ll have to pay, you’d most certainly want facilities that promise to give you a bang for your buck.
We zone in on three recent condominium launches that showcase how condominiums are no longer sticking with your typical expected facilities but are finding new ways to draw buyers in:
The Florence Residences
Taking condominium facilities to a whole new level is The Florence Residences – which aims to offer its residents the “Lifestyle of a Club and Luxury of a Condo”.
Rather than to simply have the standard condominium facilities for residents to enjoy, The Florence Residences has 128 facilities under 12 different clubs – crazy or what!
These are some of the more interesting condominium facilities you’d find here – of which some facilities you’d never think you’d find in a condominium:
- The Clubhouse – Theatrette with Karaoke, and Jamming Studio
- Island Club – Sand Lounge
- Wellness Club – 2 Wellness Salt Pools and a Tai-Chi Lawn
- Hydrotherapy Club – Hydrotherapy Pods with Water Cascade
- Kids’ Play Club – Tree Hammock and Trampoline
- Tranquillity Club - Giant Outdoor Chess, Firefly Garden, and Bamboo Garden
I’m pretty sure you’ll never run out of things to do should you reside here at The Florence Residences.
Haus on Handy
Beyond enjoying the life that comes with living in Singapore’s city centre, you can easily do so from the comfort of your home in Haus on Handy. Tying into the condominium’s luxury status, there is a heritage bungalow Club Haus where you can enjoy a suite of Premier Residential Services!
Imagine enjoying the country club life right from the comfort of your condominium. Gone are the days of the standard function rooms. At Haus on Handy, entertain your guests in style at the Club Suite or Lounge, dine and have a drink at the Club Gourmet area, or enjoy a movie at the Club Visual – where all of these rooms once hosted lavish parties of the past.
Also, rather than simply being concrete structures, there’s now plenty of green in condominiums – with abundant trees and plants dispersed throughout the development. The same can be said at Haus on Handy, where there’s a Garden Rooftop to rest and rejuvenate. Take in the fresh air while you work out in the Sky Fitness area or the Yoga Lawn, or to simply catch the stunning city views when you have some time to yourself.
The Antares
A pool and a gym are the workout facilities you’d typically find in a condominium – but not anymore. Developers have stepped up and know that consumers now expect more unique activities and different ways to get fit.
At The Antares, there’s still a lap pool (it’s starlit!) and a gym, but that’s just the start. You can get all different types of workouts in at the Crossfit Circuit area or Outdoor Fitness Zone. That’s not all – think about the many sports you and your friends can play at the Multi-purpose Lawn too.
For the little ones, they can have more fun than simply splashing in the kid’s pool. Try picking up a new sport at the Kid’s Rock-Climbing Zone or running around at the Kid’s Play Mound. If they’ve had too much running, they can learn more about the solar system at the Kid’s Planet, Constellation Plaza or Orbit Pointe areas, while you zone out with a book at the Reading Place.
