The MRT Attraction

09 Dec 2019
Property News
When looking for a future home, the biggest factor I take into consideration is location. This is especially so because I don’t own a car (yes, I can’t afford COE), which makes traveling around Singapore slightly less convenient.

MRT

But considering how well-connected Singapore is, all you’ll really need is to be situated close to an MRT. While you may have to contend with an MRT breakdown or two (maybe more if you’re THAT suay), think about how much you’ll save on the cost of the car itself, going through countless ERP gantries and rising petrol costs. Being close to an MRT station definitely trumps owning a car for me.

Of course, the fancy condominium amenities are always a plus point (to show off to your kaypoh aunties and tai-tai friends), but essentially getting around Singapore easily, especially for work is the biggest pull factor for me.

Having said that, you’ll want to consider the following new launches that are a short walking distance from MRT stations, which will make your life a whole lot easier:

Newton MRT (Downtown & North-South Line) – 280m
Novena MRT (North-South Line) – 780m

Pullman Residences srx

Located in Singapore’s Core Central Region in the prime District 11 area, Pullman Residences guarantees that ease of connectivity seeing as the development is located less than 300m away from Newton MRT. Here, you’ll be just one 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.

However, the biggest pull for a supper fanatic like me is Pullman Residences’ location near the best late-night food establishments. The 348-unit luxury freehold development that’s in place of the now-defunct Dunearn Gardens, is situated close by to ever-popular Newton Food Centre so you can enjoy your fair share of seafood dishes should you reside there. Imagine being able to enjoy Guan Kee Grilled Seafood’s Sambal Stingray every night!

Esplanade MRT (Circle Line) – 390m
Promenade MRT (Circle Line & Downtown Line) – 510m
Bugis MRT (Downtown Line & East-West Line) – 520m

It’s convenience personified at Midtown Bay, which is a residential development component of the highly-anticipated 950,600 sq ft Gucco Midtown mixed-use development that’s set to add a new lease of life to the Beach Road area. The icing on the cake besides being located centrally is that you’ll be served by three MRT stations with access to four MRT lines, namely the East-West, Downtown, North-South and Circle lines, thus making traveling to any part of Singapore simple.

Inspired by the midtown areas of iconic capital cities worldwide that combines heritage, entertainment and offices, Midtown Bay will be completed in 2022 and promises to be the country’s next premium business and lifestyle destination to suit the modern lifestyles of individuals from all walks of life.

Investors will have their heads turned by the high rental opportunities this prized condominium is likely to offer seeing as Guoco Midtown will feature a premium 30-storey office tower to cater to the modern-day firms. Besides aiding these companies in attracting the best talent, Guoco Midtown will have numerous amenities to help retain talent, such as a sky garden, swimming pool and outdoor gym all located in the 77,000 sq ft office tower.

Marina Bay MRT (Circle Line, North-South Line & Thomson-East Coast Line) – 140m
Downtown MRT (Downtown Line) – 310m
Shenton Way MRT (2021; Thomson-East Coast Line) – 380m

Marine One Srx

Seeing as you’re located less than 500m to three MRT stations, with access to four different MRT lines, it doesn’t get better than residing at Marina One Residences. Of course, beyond the killer accessibility, the best part of the luxurious integrated development is that it’s located right in the heart of Singapore’s CBD. Besides offering luxury apartments, special retail offerings coupled with top-notch office spaces, you’ll be able to enjoy stunning city and sea views right from the comfort of your home.

Despite being located in Singapore’s bustling city area, staying in Marina One Residences will feel far from that. Specially designed by Christoph Ingenhoven who’s a leader in sustainable supergreen architecture, expect a luxurious oasis with 65,000 sq ft of lush greenery and spectacular waterfall features! In addition to that, Marina One Residences is surrounded by two lush green parks – the Marina Station Square and Central Linear Park.
