Property District: D02 - Chinatown / Tanjong Pagar

Introducing The Landmark, a new high-rise residential development with 396 units, set to launch for sale in mid-November 2020. It will be located on the site of the former Landmark Tower on Chin Swee Road.

The Landmark condo is a project by Landmark JV, a joint venture between ZACD Group, SSLE Development, and Singapore-based MCC Land.

This 99-year leasehold development will be situated on Pearl’s Hill City Park, between Outram and Havelock, near the Central Business District (CBD).

The Landmark will consist of a single 39-storey tower with a variety of unit types, including one to three-bedroom apartments. The sizes range from 495 sq ft for the smallest unit to around 1,141 sq ft for the largest.

Thanks to its elevated location, The Landmark will offer unobstructed views of the park and city skyline. The developers selected this site to provide residents with a unique combination of urban living and proximity to nature.

Few projects in space-constrained Singapore can boast such extensive greenery and open views, especially so close to the city center.

The design is by Swan & Maclaren, Singapore’s oldest architectural firm with a long history of successful projects.

The main downside is that there isn’t an MRT station right next door. The closest one is probably Chinatown station, which you can reach in about 7 to 8 minutes by walking through Pearl’s Hill Park and down Upper Cross Street.

If you don’t mind a slightly longer walk, Clarke Quay station and Clarke Quay itself are about 11 to 12 minutes away. Outram Park station is also nearby, about the same distance by the main road. You can get there faster by cutting through Pearl’s Hill southwards, especially if you use the nearest entrance of the Thomson-East Coast MRT Line (TEL).

Outram Park station is one of the few triple-line interchange stations, connecting the East-West, North-East, and Thomson-East Coast lines, providing great flexibility. This stage of the Thomson line is expected to open in 2021, before The Landmark condo is completed.

This means residents will have a direct line to the Raffles Place/Marina Bay business district in the south and Orchard Road in the north, within 3 to 4 stops.

The closest comparison is probably One Pearl Bank, located on the other side of Pearl’s Hill City Park. This 99-year leasehold project launched in July 2019.

By November 2019, One Pearl Bank had sold 242 units at an average price of $2,387 per square foot (PSF). One Pearl Bank benefits from being closer to Outram Park MRT station.

However, The Landmark condo is expected to offer more competitive pricing, making it a good option for cost-conscious buyers. It still enjoys the same attractive location features that made One Pearl Bank a hit in 2019.

In addition to its proximity to the CBD, The Landmark is near the Singapore River, Robertson Quay, Chinatown, and Tiong Bahru. These areas are known for their vibrant dining and nightlife scenes.

The Singapore General Hospital (SGH) is also nearby. There is a 20-year master plan to expand SGH into a larger medical complex, creating a major healthcare hub.

This proximity to the future SGH campus is likely to attract investors, as it will provide a strong potential tenant pool of medical professionals and healthcare staff.

The Landmark Site Plan

The Landmark site is an irregularly shaped piece of land fronting Chin Swee Road. It is nestled against Pearl’s Hill, with Pearl’s Hill City Park surrounding it from the east to the south.

This location offers expansive open views, at least 180° wide. Lower floor units facing this direction can enjoy the greenery of the park, with views of bushes and treetops. Higher floor units have distant views, stretching over the rooftops of Chinatown to the CBD city skyline and beyond.

Even on the north and northwest sides, there are relatively open views, facing the road with the CTE tunnel below. High floor units on this side may have glimpses of Robertson Quay and River Valley.

Overall, the nighttime views are quite impressive.

Showflat

The Landmark showroom will feature the following unit types:

• One Bedroom: Type A1, 48 m² (517 sq ft)
• Two Bedroom: Type B3, 63 m² (678 sq ft)
• Three Bedroom: Type C2, 106 m² (1,141 sq ft)

The ceiling height will be approximately 2.9 meters in the main rooms and around 2.4 meters in the corridors, kitchen, bathrooms, and other areas.

The units will include branded fittings, with kitchen appliances by Miele and main bathroom fittings from Gessi.

Location

The Landmark is located on the north-western side of Pearl’s Hill, in the Havelock-Outram-Chinatown neighborhood. It’s on the edge of the Central Business and Financial District, near Tanjong Pagar, and just a 5-minute drive from Orchard Road via Clemenceau Avenue.

Retail, Dining, Banks, Supermarkets, Hotels

The Landmark is about a 7-minute walk through Pearl’s Hill Park to Chinatown, home to older shopping centers like People’s Park Centre, People’s Park Complex, and Chinatown Complex. These areas are prime candidates for future redevelopment.

For more upscale shopping and dining, Orchard Road is a 5-minute drive away. Additionally, Liang Court and Clarke Quay, with their wide range of dining options, are within a 10 to 15-minute walk.

Nearest MRT Station

The closest MRT station is Chinatown station on the North-East Line, about a 7 to 8-minute walk by cutting through Pearl’s Hill City Park to Pearl’s Hill Road and Upper Cross Street.

Alternatively, walking south through the park to Outram Park Road can get you to the Thomson-East Coast Line entrance of Outram Park station in roughly the same or even shorter time. Outram Park station is an interchange connecting the North-East Line, East-West Line, and Thomson-East Coast Line, set to be completed by 2021.

Lifestyle Destinations

Nearby is the future Greater Southern Waterfront city, just down Cantonment Road. This grand vision from the URA Master Plan will extend the CBD westward to Pasir Panjang, offering dining, shopping, and a 30 km waterfront promenade with a green corridor from Gardens by the Bay to Labrador Park.

Accessibility

The Landmark is in the Core Central Region, near the CBD and Orchard Road, making it attractive to investors targeting tenant pools in these areas. It also provides quick access to the expressway network via the Central Expressway (CTE), just down the road.

Here we introduce One Bernam condo. One Bernam is a new mixed-use development at the corner of Bernam Street, Tanjong Pagar Road, and Enggor Street.

It includes commercial space on the ground floor and condos above. This will be one of the few new residential projects in the Singapore CBD recently.

Besides being in the core Downtown area, at the western end of Shenton Way, One Bernam is close to two MRT stations.

Tanjong Pagar station is about a 5-minute walk via Tras and Peck Seah streets. Once Prince Edward Road station on the Circle Line is completed, it will be about a 4-minute walk to the nearest exit.

This development will also benefit from the planned Greater Southern Waterfront transformation.

Tricia Song, head of research at Colliers International, noted: “The Bernam Street site is a rare new site in the mostly built-up Shenton Way Central Business District, and could benefit from the future Greater Southern Waterfront development and CBD Incentive Scheme.”

There haven’t been many new homes for sale in this area for a while, so there may be significant demand.

This mixed development is mostly surrounded by office buildings, some of which also have retail stores and food and beverage outlets.

It is just a 4-minute walk from Guoco Tower Office & Mall, a major business and lifestyle hub at Tanjong Pagar station. Guoco Tower includes a residential part called Wallich Residence, where homes sell for between SGD $3,000 and $4,000 per square foot.

There are several plans for the Anson and Tanjong Pagar areas that make One Bernam attractive for both investment and living.

COVID-19 is changing how Singaporeans live, work, and play, and urban plans are being adjusted to meet these needs.

Some changes were already in progress, but the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) says the pandemic has highlighted the need for the CBD to have more mixed uses and a larger residential population.

The URA notes that the CBD Incentive Scheme aims to transform the CBD from an office-centric area to a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood. This scheme applies to the Tanjong Pagar, Anson Road, Shenton Way, Cecil Street, and Robinson Road areas and will create better pedestrian-friendly streets and public spaces.

One Bernam will appeal to residents and tenants who want to live, work, shop, dine, and relax in the same neighborhood.

Additionally, the former Tanjong Pagar Port precinct, just a 5-minute walk south of One Bernam, is being redeveloped into part of the Greater Southern Waterfront city, which will increase the appeal of nearby developments.

In his 2019 National Day Rally speech, PM Lee highlighted plans for new attractions, housing, and office spaces in the Greater Southern Waterfront. Although it may take 10 to 15 years to complete, the land there is expected to be more valuable than the One Bernam site, indicating good potential for price increases at One Bernam.

One Bernam Site Plan

The One Bernam site is a corner plot with three sides facing different streets: Bernam Street to the south, Tanjong Pagar Road to the west, and Enggor Street to the north. To its east is Realty Centre, which was recently sold for redevelopment.

This layout provides ample space and distance between One Bernam and its neighbors, which is beneficial for residential comfort. It also allows many units to have good views between the surrounding buildings.

The site has a 99-year lease and covers approximately 3,846.2 square meters (41,400 square feet). According to the URA Master Plan, the maximum building height is 35 storeys for the high-rise section, 20 storeys for the mid-rise section, and four storeys for the low-rise section.

Fortunately, the site is close to the Ayer Rajah Expressway but not directly adjacent to it. The Fuji Xerox building, with its 38-storey tower, acts as a buffer, helping to shield the noise from the expressway.

Developer

One Bernam Singapore is being developed by Hao Yuan Investment, a property development and investment company originally from China. They have been operating in Singapore for over ten years.

Working with MCC Land, they have developed several residential projects in Singapore, including the Alps Residences, Northwave EC, and most recently, Queens Peak near Queenstown MRT station.

Location

One Bernam is located in Singapore’s central business and financial district, between Anson and Tanjong Pagar. It is surrounded by office towers, mixed developments, eateries, shops (mainly on ground or podium levels), hotels, and condominiums like Altez and Skysuites @ Anson, which are diagonally across Enggor Street.

Nearest MRT Stations

The nearest MRT station is Tanjong Pagar on the East-West Line, about a 4 to 5-minute walk from Exit A near Sofitel Singapore and Guoco Tower via Tras Street and Peck Seah Street. Once completed in 2025, the Prince Edward Road station on the Circle Line will be even closer, with its entrance at the corner of Shenton Way and Keppel Road, just a 3 to 4-minute walk away.

Shops, Banks, F&B, Supermarkets

Although not as retail-heavy as Orchard Road, One Bernam’s neighborhood has plenty of conveniences. There are cafes, artisanal shops, hawker stalls, and various other stores within easy reach. A minute’s walk away is 100AM Mall, featuring a Fairprice supermarket and various shops. Less than a 5-minute walk up Tanjong Pagar Road is a Market & Food Centre and Tanjong Pagar Plaza, which has another Fairprice outlet, shops, and eateries. Altez, across Enggor Street, houses a Cold Storage supermarket. International Plaza and various banks are also nearby.

In the future, the Greater Southern Waterfront district will offer extensive shopping, dining, and lifestyle experiences, though it will take some time to be fully developed. For more details, you can check the URA web page on the Greater Southern Waterfront (GSW).

Recreation & Relaxation

Currently, there aren’t any large parks or nature reserves within walking distance of One Bernam. However, the future Greater Southern Waterfront development will include green spaces and parks connected by trails. These trails will link to a continuous waterfront promenade extending from Gardens by the Bay, past One Bernam, and incorporating green spaces like the future Pasir Panjang Linear Park, connecting Labrador Nature Reserve with West Coast Park.

Accessibility

One Bernam is well-connected. It takes less than 5 minutes to reach the slip road to the MCE (Marina Coastal Expressway) via Enggor Street to Tanjong Pagar Road. The MCE connects to the ECP (East-Coast Parkway) and the KPE (Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway), providing access to the island-wide expressway network. The location is also close to the CTE (Central Expressway) exit via Cantonment Road, and being within the CBD allows quick access to core Downtown areas, including Marina Bay.
