Grand Dunman

Grand Dunman Featured Image

Grand-Dunman-OverviewThe Grand Dunman is a new condo on Dunman Road in the Katong-Mountbatten area, launching in July 2023. Its name hints at its large size and prime location.

Located in District 15’s private residential area within the Marine Parade Planning Area of Singapore, it is close to the city center and the business districts of Raffles Place and Marina Bay.

Grand-Dunman-Cityscape

This development is one of the most exciting and appealing sites to hit the market recently. With 1,008 units spread across 7 residential blocks, it offers a wide variety of facilities and extensive landscaped grounds.

Among the latest condo launches, Grand Dunman stands out with the second-largest land area.

Unlike previous years with many huge projects, most of the current launches are smaller. Only three projects now have close to 1,000 units, compared to four years ago when many had between 1,000 to 2,000 units.

A large land area allows for more facilities and spacious landscaped gardens.

Additionally, having many units means a lively resale market in the future, with enough buyers and sellers to keep it active.

However, size is only beneficial with a good location, and Grand Dunman has both.

The project is located on a government land sale (GLS) site at the intersection of Geylang River and Dunman Road. It was once a school site, nestled in a primarily landed estate bordered by Tanjong Katong Road and Mountbatten Road.

Mountbatten, along with the nearby areas of Marine Parade and Katong, are top housing locations. These neighborhoods are some of the most desirable residential areas outside the traditional districts 9, 10, and 11.

Historically, the area has been filled mostly with private homes, including some Good Class Bungalows, giving it a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere, unlike many other parts of the island. Katong’s rich cultural heritage also adds to its charm, preserving much of old Singapore.

As a mature residential estate, it offers established schools and many amenities.

Grand-Dunman-Lifescape

To the west and north of Grand Dunman, Kallang and Paya Lebar are being transformed into lively lifestyle and economic hubs.

This creates a balance between the old and new, blending nostalgia with a vibrant buzz in the surrounding neighborhoods.

The Grand Dunman condo is unique in having unblocked views. It is a high-rise building surrounded by low-rise landed estates on the northeast, east, and south sides.

These landed estates have been zoned this way for a long time and will stay that way. Few places offer such clear views in multiple directions, especially to the southeast, south, and southwest over the Goodman and Wilkinson landed enclave.

With these houses extending far to the east and south, the condo has a very open outlook. From higher floors, there might even be sea views to the south and likely good wind flows and breezes.

Grand-Dunman-Scape

Easy access to public transport is a major advantage here. The Grand Dunman condo is almost next to Dakota MRT station on the Circle Line, with only Geylang River in between.

The Geylang River at this point is about 40 meters wide, so the nearest station exit is less than 100 meters away, just a few minutes’ walk. It’s about as close to a station as you can get without being right on it.

Dakota station is within a 15-minute ride from Marina Bay and Suntec City.

This location also offers quick access to key areas. It’s less than a 15-minute drive to the CBD and 20 minutes to Changi Airport via the East Coast and Marina Coastal expressways.

Several buses run along Dunman Road, with some heading into the city, from a bus stop right in front of the site.

Floor Plans

Grand Dunman Site Plan

Grand Dunman Singapore is a high-rise condo located in a residential area bordered by Dunman, Mountbatten, and Tanjong Katong roads. It sits on a large triangular plot next to Geylang River.

According to the URA Master Plan, the site is designated for residential use with a 3.5 gross plot ratio. The main vehicle entrance is on Dunman Road to the north.

The land across Dunman Road is currently empty but is planned for high-rise residential development in the future.

The west side of the site is next to the park connector along Geylang River, providing a buffer from the high-rise apartments across the river.

Grand-Dunman-Siteplan

Additionally, a strip of land on the south and east sides of the site is reserved as a drainage area, creating a gap between the high-rise blocks and the landed houses on Poole, Wareham, and Crescent roads.

The views to the east and south are the most attractive, and these directions are also the quietest with minimal traffic noise. This is because there is a low-rise estate with landed houses in these areas.

These houses extend all the way to Meyer Road and Marine Parade. Since the residential towers along East Coast are spaced apart, some units might have sea views between them.

The largely unblocked surroundings of the Dunman condo mean that many units could enjoy plenty of wind and natural light.

Location

Grand Dunman condo is situated along Dunman Road, right next to Geylang River, within the Marine Parade Planning area of Singapore. It is nestled between the landed estates of Tanjong Katong and Mountbatten on one side, and the apartment blocks of the Dakota precinct across the river on the other.

Dunman Road is relatively quiet and not very wide, primarily surrounded by private housing, making the area generally peaceful.

Nearest MRT Station

The Grand Dunman location is approximately 100 meters, or a 2-minute walk, from Dakota station on the Circle MRT Line. This line is convenient as it circles the island and connects with every other MRT line, meaning every line is just one transfer away.

Dakota station is close to the city center, about a 15-minute ride (5 stations) from Marina Bay and the financial district, and Esplanade station at Suntec. By 2026, the line will include Prince Edward, Cantonment, and Keppel stations, completing the loop to Harbourfront.

Eateries, Food Centres, Shops, Supermarkets

One MRT stop up the Circle Line is Paya Lebar MRT station, an interchange with the East-West Line. It connects directly to the mixed-use developments of Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ) and Paya Lebar Square, which are part of URA’s masterplan to transform Paya Lebar into a vibrant city precinct and business hub.

In Paya Lebar, you’ll find homes, modern Grade A office towers, retail malls, and supermarkets. The area offers a wide range of shopping, entertainment, and dining options, including parkside dining. Combined, the malls feature over 350 shops and F&B outlets across 430,000 square feet of retail space.

There is plenty of delicious food within walking distance of Grand Dunman. The famous Old Airport Road Food Centre, known for its popular stalls, is about a 7-minute walk away. Nearby, Tanjong Katong Road is a well-known food haven, offering everything from old-time favorites to quaint cafes in historic shophouses.

Grand-Dunman-map

Schools & Educational Institutions

There are two primary schools within 1 km of Grand Dunman. Kong Hwa School on Guillemard Road is a 6-minute walk via the park connector along Geylang River. Tanjong Katong Primary School is also within this radius, but only for blocks on the southeast corner of the site.

Nearby, there are several well-known secondary schools, including Dunman High, Chung Cheng High, Tanjong Katong Girls’, and the Canadian International School (Tanjong Katong Campus). Chung Cheng High and Tanjong Katong Girls’ School are within a 10-minute walk.

Sports & Recreation

One of the highlights of the East Coast area is East Coast Park and Beach. A short drive down Tanjong Katong Road from Grand Dunman leads to East Coast Park Service Road.

Additionally, the Singapore Sports Hub and Kallang Sports Centre are just two stops away on the Circle Line at Stadium station, and can also be reached via the park connector along Geylang River, ideal for runners and cyclists.

Accessibility

East Coast homes are popular for their proximity to the Financial and Central Business District. From Grand Dunman, it’s a 15-minute drive to Raffles Place via Nicoll Highway during off-peak hours.

The expressway network is also easily accessible, with a 2 km drive down Tanjong Katong Road to the ECP (East Coast Parkway). This provides a quick route to Marina Bay, the city center, and beyond.

Heading east, it’s under a 20-minute drive on the ECP to Changi Airport, making this location especially convenient for frequent travelers who also work in the CBD.

The Continuum

The-Continuum-overviewWelcome to the Continuum Preview Launch starting on April 21, 2023, with prices from S$1.448M. This is a new freehold residential development for sale at Thiam Siew Avenue in the Katong neighborhood of Singapore.

This project is one of the most attractive options on the market and is definitely worth a look. Located in Katong, it offers freehold status and a well-designed site with many interesting features. The units are well-crafted, functional, and efficient, with a special charm.

Katong is part of the prime East Coast area in District 15, within the Marine Parade Planning Area. It is in the Rest of Central Region (RCR) zone, which means it is relatively close to the city center and the financial districts of Marina Bay and Raffles Place.

One major advantage of the Continuum is its size. With 816 units, it is unusually large for a freehold site, which is valued for its long-term investment potential.

The project is developed by Sunway Developments and Hoi Hup Realty, who have previously launched Ki Residences near Sunset Way and Terra Hill at Pasir Panjang.

The Continuum condo stands out because it has the largest freehold land area in recent times, with 269,995 square feet that can fit 816 apartments. This makes it one of the biggest freehold condos available.

While freehold condo launches aren’t very rare, most are small, with usually fewer than 100 units. This is because freehold sites typically come from collective or en-bloc sales of old freehold projects or individual bungalows.

Small freehold sites lack space for many facilities and gardens, and they don’t generate much turnover for rentals and resale. As a result, they usually have less demand compared to larger ones.

Transaction volume is important for price movement. Banks value a development based on recent transactions. If there are few transactions, the assessed values won’t rise quickly.

That’s why freehold launches with over 200 units, like the Continuum condo, attract much more attention. More units mean a more active rental and resale market, creating enough interest to command better prices.

The facade features full-height glass curtain walls and large picture-frame windows, maximizing the height and views.

The large size of the land is because it consists of two big development plots. These plots were combined from 22 freehold pre-war semi-detached houses and bungalows on both sides of Thiam Siew Avenue, a residential street next to Tanjong Katong Road.

All these prime sites belonged to a single family trust, which sold them through a public tender in November 2021 to Hoi Hup Sunway Developments for S$815 million.

According to Galven Tan, Deputy Managing Director of Savills Singapore who brokered the deal, Thiam Siew Avenue is a popular and mature neighborhood, and the site is highly desirable.

Wong Swee Chun, Managing Director and Chairman of Hoi Hup Realty, said they were interested because these are rare freehold sites in east Singapore. He added, “In today’s competitive real estate market, we are confident in the demand for quality freehold developments, especially for these large freehold plots in District 15.”

The-Continuum-pool

Key Features Summary

  • The only large-scale new freehold launch. A long-lasting generational asset.
  • Consists of two sites connected by a private overhead skywalk.
  • Two sky gardens and gyms: one at the north site and one at the south site.
  • Units face north and south, offering different views.
  • Views of the new CBD to the west and Katong/Joo Chiat to the east.
  • Two distinctive collections of unit types and layouts.
  • Landscaped facilities that blend form, space, and culture.
  • Preserves heritage with Thiam Siew House as a unique clubhouse.
  • Thiam Siew Avenue will be upgraded into a wider road with trees and manicured landscaping.
  • Aiming for Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy rating.

The Continuum condominium is located between Haig Road and Tanjong Katong Road, in the residential area of Katong.

Katong, along with Marine Parade and Mountbatten, makes up the prime private housing estates of District 15, which is one of the most desirable residential areas outside the central districts of 9, 10, and 11.

Historically, this area has been mainly populated with private homes, including some Good Class Bungalows. Katong still retains much of old Singapore, with its rich cultural heritage, giving it an old-world charm and a more relaxed atmosphere compared to other parts of the island.

In contrast, to the north and west of the Continuum condo, Paya Lebar and Kallang are being developed into vibrant economic and lifestyle hubs. This location therefore offers a blend of the old and new, combining the future with the past.

Residents here will especially benefit from being close to the Paya Lebar Central precinct, one of nine areas selected for the URA’s pilot Business Improvement District program, aimed at rejuvenating the city.

The two sites were originally occupied by single-story pre-war houses, surrounded by high-rises to the north and south. However, with a plot ratio of 2.8 in the 2019 Masterplan, these sites will now be developed into high-rises as well.

The new buildings will match the heights of the neighboring high-rises to the north, east, and immediate south. The immediate southern neighbors are mainly standalone private apartment blocks. Further south and to the west, the area is zoned for low-rise landed housing, offering open views.

The-Continuum-overview 2

Some units may have views between these blocks, looking south over the landed estate towards East Coast Park. Additionally, the wind tunnel effect will likely create plenty of airflow.

Being in the RCR means quick access to the town and other major areas. Off-peak, it’s less than a 20-minute drive to Changi Airport and 15 minutes to the CBD via the East Coast and Marina Coastal expressways.

Several bus services operate on nearby Geylang Road, with some routes going to the city center.

For train services, the Continuum condominium is about a 9-minute walk to Dakota MRT station on the Circle Line. From Dakota station, it takes around 15 minutes to reach Suntec City and Marina Bay by train.

The Continuum condo is also about a 13-minute walk to Paya Lebar interchange MRT station and the malls located there.

The Continuum Site Plan

The Continuum Singapore is situated in a residential area between Tanjong Katong Road and Haig Road. It spans land combined from 22 freehold residential plots along both sides of Thiam Siew Avenue, including Thiam Siew Avenue itself, totaling 263,794 square feet.

The site is made up of two rectangular plots, one longer than the other, forming a regular L-shaped land parcel with its long sides facing north and south.

According to URA’s masterplan, this land is zoned for residential use with a plot ratio of 2.8.

 

On both the north and south sides, the site is bordered by rows of private apartment blocks. These are individual blocks on small plots with enough space between them to avoid a fortress-like appearance.

This spacing is particularly beneficial on the south side, as beyond this row is the low-rise landed Mountbatten housing estate, providing long-distance pocket views almost all the way to East Coast Park.

This layout also promotes good wind flow. Additionally, since neither of the long sides faces a road, the environment here should be relatively quiet.

The blocks are positioned in a generally north-south direction to maximize the benefits of the prevailing winds and the surrounding views and landscape.

At ground level, communal facilities include play areas, activity zones, and wellness areas. There are also sky gardens, dining areas, and sky gyms on both the north and south sites, offering panoramic views.

Service areas such as the bin center, pump rooms, substation, and M&E rooms are located in the basement, out of sight.

Location

The Continuum condo is located on Thiam Siew Avenue, between Haig Road and Tanjong Katong Road, in Singapore’s Marine Parade Planning area. It is surrounded by small private condos and apartment blocks on its main north and south sides, creating a relatively quiet environment. The main access to the site is from its shorter ends, at Tanjong Katong Road and Haig Road.

Nearest MRT Stations

The Continuum is about 700 meters, or a 9-minute walk, from Dakota MRT station on the Circle Line. It is also 850 meters, or a 13-minute walk, to Paya Lebar interchange station, which connects the Circle and East-West lines.

Both lines are very useful. The Circle Line circles around the island, intersecting with every other MRT line, making transfers easy. The East-West line is one of the longest lines, connecting the east and west ends of Singapore.

Dakota station is also close to the downtown and CBD, about a 15-minute ride (5 stations) to Marina Bay and the financial district, as well as Esplanade station. By 2026, when Keppel, Cantonment, and Prince Edward stations open, the Circle Line will complete its loop to Harbourfront.

The-Continuum-map

Shops, Banks, Supermarkets, Eateries, Food Centres

Residents benefit from being within walking distance of the Paya Lebar Central precinct, one of nine areas in URA’s Business Improvement District program, aimed at rejuvenating Paya Lebar into a vibrant business center.

Here, you will find the Paya Lebar Square and Paya Lebar Quarter integrated developments, which include retail malls, modern Grade A office blocks, and homes, all directly connected to Paya Lebar MRT station.

The malls offer a wide range of entertainment, services, shopping, and dining options, including al-fresco dining. Together, they provide 430,000 square feet of retail space, featuring F&B outlets, supermarkets, and 350 shops.

There is a food lover’s paradise just a five-minute walk south on Tanjong Katong Road. This stretch features old shophouses and five-foot ways with charming cafes, traditional hawker stalls, fruit stalls, and confectioners.

For basic necessities, Haig Road Market and Food Centre is an eight-minute walk up Haig Road.

Educational Institutions & Schools

There are three primary schools within a 1 km radius of the Thiam Siew condo. Tanjong Katong Primary School is a 10 to 11-minute walk down Haig Road. Haig Girls’ School is about a 10-minute walk via Crane Road, Joo Chiat Road, and Joo Chiat Lane. Kong Hwa School on Guillemard Road is closer in distance but further by foot, taking roughly 13 minutes to walk down Dunman Road and along the park connector beside Geylang River.

Notable secondary schools in the area include Tanjong Katong Girls’, Tanjong Katong Secondary, Chung Cheng High, and the Canadian International School (Tanjong Katong Campus), all within a 10-minute walk.

Recreation, Sports, Leisure

Katong is close to East Coast Park and Beach. From the Continuum condo, a five-minute drive south on Tanjong Katong Road leads to East Coast Park Service Road and the beach.

For sports activities, the Kallang Sports Centre and Singapore Sports Hub are a 10-minute drive away and can be easily reached via the Circle MRT line, with Stadium station two stops from Dakota station.

Accessibility

Homes in this part of Singapore are highly sought after due to their proximity to downtown and the CBD. A 2 km drive from the Continuum down Tanjong Katong Road takes residents to the East Coast Parkway (ECP). From there, it is a quick drive to Marina Bay Financial District and Raffles Place. In the opposite direction, it is a 20-minute drive to Changi Airport, making this location ideal for those who work in the CBD and travel frequently.

Tembusu Grand

Tembusu Grand Featured Image

Tembusu Grand Brochure OverviewThe Tembusu Grand condo is a new residential development located on Jalan Tembusu in the Katong-Mountbatten neighborhood of Singapore.

Katong-Mountbatten is part of the prime District 15 East Coast area, within the Marine Parade Planning Area. This neighborhood is relatively close to the city center and the business districts of Raffles Place and Marina Bay. According to the URA master plan, it is in the Rest of Central Region (RCR) zone.

Tembusu Grand is conveniently about a 9-minute walk from Tanjong Katong MRT station. The area is surrounded by many eateries and several well-regarded schools. Primary schools within 1KM include Kong Hwa, Haig Girls’, and Tanjong Katong Primary.

The development site is of a good mid-size, featuring four blocks of 20 to 21 storeys with 638 apartments and the usual communal facilities. The project is being developed by Tembusu Residential Pte Ltd, a partnership between two reputable developers, MCL Land and City Developments.

The developers are optimistic about the project’s prospects. Mr. Sherman Kwek, CDL group chief executive, mentioned, “While there will be some headwinds due to property cooling measures, we believe the market is supported by an improving job market and strong household balance sheets.”

Overall, the project appears to be quite promising.

Tembusu Grand Map

The name “Tembusu Grand” comes from the evergreen Tembusu tree, which inspired the name of the road leading to this development. This road is steeped in the heritage of Katong and evokes memories of the past.

Though the development is grand and modern, it will have its own unique style of quiet, understated elegance.

The tower blocks will be designed to reflect the Tembusu tree, capturing its textures, colors, and distinctive crown shape.

The larger units, in particular, will be almost luxurious. All 4 and 5-bedroom units and penthouses will have integrated dishwashers in the kitchen and walk-in wardrobes in the master bedroom. Appliances and fixtures will feature top brands like Miele, Liebherr, and Geberit.

Residents will also enjoy smart home systems and premium concierge services.

The entire development will be surrounded by lush greenery, tranquil water features, and themed gardens, in keeping with the tradition of homes developed by CDL and MCL Land.

The project is located on a government land sale parcel at the junction of Jalan Tembusu and Tanjong Katong Road, previously the site of the Katong Student Hostel. It is surrounded by a private condominium, old shophouses, and schools, and is situated within the Katong and Mountbatten landed housing estates.

Katong and Mountbatten, along with nearby Marine Parade and Siglap, form the upscale residential areas of District 15. These neighborhoods are among the most desirable outside of the high-end districts 9, 10, and 11.

This area is primarily made up of private homes, including both condominiums and landed properties like the Goodman Road Good Class Bungalows. The mix of low-rise landed housing and private condos gives the area a friendly, human-scale charm. Additionally, Katong and Joo Chiat’s cultural heritage and old-world atmosphere are preserved through the area’s shophouse architecture and streetscape.

In contrast, Paya Lebar to the north and Kallang to the west are undergoing major transformations into vibrant economic centers and lifestyle hubs.

This creates a balanced lifestyle here, blending the old with the new, and the historical with the modern.

The Tembusu condo site is currently unobstructed on three sides. However, the empty land to the north and south is designated for high-rise residential buildings, which means these areas might be developed in the future.

To the west, the low-rise Mountbatten landed housing estate, with buildings only one to three storeys high, will provide unblocked views extending to the Singapore Sports Hub and city skyline.

The Tembusu Grand condo is about 650 meters, or a 9-minute walk, from the upcoming Tanjong Katong station on the Thomson-East Coast Line. While not very close, it is still considered a fairly walkable distance.

An interesting aspect of this neighborhood, and the entire East Coast area, is its continued popularity despite the lack of a train line so far.

One reason could be the excellent bus service in the area. Another reason is that its proximity to the city center makes it easy to get there by bus or taxi.

Tanjong Katong station is about a 15-minute ride from the Marina Bay interchange station in the heart of the CBD.

This location is highly valued for its quick access to major areas. It’s about a 15-minute drive to the city center via the Marina Coastal Expressway and 20 minutes to Changi Airport via the East Coast Parkway.

There isn’t a major shopping center within close walking distance of the Tembusu Residences site. However, this is balanced by a variety of neighborhood shops.

These shops are mostly located in vintage shophouses along Tanjong Katong Road, offering a diverse mix of retail options. You’ll find medical and dental clinics, vets and pet shops, mini-marts, salons, spas, stationery shops, fruit stands, pizzerias, hawker stalls, various cafes, and more.

It could take over a month to try all the food options on both sides of the road. There’s certainly more diversity and charm here compared to most malls.

For those who prefer shopping malls, Tembusu Residences is almost equidistant from Paya Lebar Quarter and Parkway Parade. Both are about a 15 to 20-minute walk away and are significant retail centers.

Tembusu Grand Site Plan

Tembusu Grand is a high-rise condominium located in the private residential neighborhood between Tanjong Katong and Mountbatten. It sits on a rectangular plot of land at the corner of Tanjong Katong Road and Jalan Tembusu.

According to the URA Master Plan, this land is designated for residential use with a 2.8 gross plot ratio. The main vehicle entrance is on Jalan Tembusu, to the south of the site.

Across Jalan Tembusu, there is currently the low-rise APSN center, and beyond that, the Canadian International School.

This provides relatively unblocked views for now, with potential sea views in the distance. However, the land occupied by the APSN center is zoned for high-rise residential, so it will be developed in the future, though it will likely still allow for some partial views.

Tembusu Grand Siteplan

To the north of the site, there’s an empty plot of land with Tanjong Katong Girls’ School beyond it. This land is also zoned for high-rise residential development, so north-facing units will have open views for now, but these could be partially blocked by future developments.

To the west, across Tanjong Katong Road, is the Mountbatten landed housing estate. This area will remain low-rise, ensuring unobstructed views of the CBD skyline and Sports Hub, and allowing good wind flow to the site.

The site is surrounded by landed and private housing and is not near major roads, making it a fairly quiet location with minimal traffic noise.

The project layout is straightforward, featuring four residential blocks oriented almost north-south. This alignment is designed to capture seasonal winds and minimize exposure to the hot afternoon sun.

Developer

The Tembusu Grand condo is being developed by CDL Triton, a collaboration between MCL Land Ltd and City Developments Pte Ltd.

City Developments Limited (CDL)

City Developments Limited (CDL) is a leading international real estate company operating in 112 locations across 29 regions and countries. It is part of the Hong Leong Group of companies and is also a global hotel and property conglomerate.

CDL has been listed on the Singapore Exchange since 1963 and has grown to become one of Singapore’s largest companies by market capitalization. Its diverse portfolio includes homes, serviced apartments, hotels, shopping malls, offices, and integrated developments.

Within Singapore, CDL is known as one of the most established and trusted local developers, with nearly 60 years of experience in property development, management, and investment. CDL has built over 48,000 homes in Singapore and international markets such as Australia, the UK, China, and Japan.

Some of CDL’s notable local developments include Gramercy Park, Cliveden @ Grange, St Regis Residences, Boulevard 88, Nouvel 18, New Futura at Leonie Hill, The Glyndebourne, Residences @ Evelyn, The Pier at Robertson, The Sail @ Marina Bay, The Oceanfront @ Sentosa Cove, Amber Park, Goldenhill Park, and Golden Hill Villas.

More recently, CDL has undertaken several integrated developments, including Piccadilly Grand, The South Beach with South Beach Residences at Beach Road, and the high-profile Canninghill Piers in collaboration with CapitaLand.

The Group owns approximately 23 million square feet of hospitality, commercial, and residential assets worldwide, along with a global land bank of 3.3 million square feet.

In addition to shaping the skyline, CDL has significantly contributed to Singapore’s sustainability efforts with its numerous award-winning “green” buildings. For the past 20 years, CDL has followed a “Conserve as we Construct” philosophy, investing in innovations to enhance productivity and resource efficiency.

This approach has established CDL as a leader in sustainability, earning consistent recognition for its green buildings.

As of 2021, CDL is the only developer to have won the BCA’s Quality Excellence Award – Quality Champion (Platinum) – for nine consecutive years. This award honors builders and developers for their commitment to and achievements in creating quality homes with excellent workmanship. Consequently, CDL is listed as the top developer on BCA’s “Search for Quality Housing” online tool, reflecting its high standards.

Moreover, Euromoney’s annual Real Estate Survey of 2020 named CDL the “Best Residential Real Estate Developer” in Singapore.

In collaboration with CDL, MCL Land is currently developing Piccadilly Grand and the recently sold-out Copen Grand.

Location

The Tembusu condo is situated on Tembusu Road, off Tanjong Katong Road, in the Marine Parade Planning area of Singapore. The neighborhood primarily consists of the private residential estate of Tanjong Katong and the Mountbatten landed housing enclave to the west.

Tembusu Road is a small estate lane, and Tanjong Katong Road is neither very wide nor busy. Together with its predominantly private residential nature, this area is generally quiet.

Nearest MRT Station

The Tembusu Grand condo is located about 650 meters, or roughly a 9-minute walk, from Tanjong Katong Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line. This line covers a significant part of Singapore, starting from Woodlands in the north, circling around Orchard, Havelock, Shenton Way, and Marina Bay, then running down the East Coast.

Tanjong Katong station is relatively close to the city center. It is 6 stations, or roughly a 15-minute ride, to Marina Bay station, which is an interchange with the North-South and Circle lines.

Retail Outlets, F&B, Banks, Supermarkets

The Tembusu Grand location is in the heart of a food haven. Old shophouses line both sides of Tanjong Katong Road to its north and south, offering a variety of culinary delights, shops, and services. You’ll find quaint cafes, hawker favorites, bakeries, bistros, confectioners, fruit stalls, stationers, pet shops, salons, and clinics.

For larger-scale shopping, Paya Lebar Quarter is about 1.2KM or a 16-minute walk up Tanjong Katong Road. Just beyond that is Paya Lebar Square. Both are directly connected to Paya Lebar MRT station, an interchange of the Circle and East-West lines. These developments are central to URA’s plans to rejuvenate and transform Paya Lebar into a vibrant business hub.

Schools & Educational Institutions

There are three primary schools within a 1 km radius of the Tembusu condo. Tanjong Katong Primary School on Seraya Road is less than a 5-minute walk southeast of the site. The other two, Haig Girls’ School and Kong Hwa School, are a bit further away.

In the neighborhood, there are several popular and well-established secondary schools, including Chung Cheng High, Dunman High, Tanjong Katong Girls’, and the Canadian International School (Tanjong Katong Campus). The latter two are located almost immediately to the north and south of the site, respectively.

Recreation, Sports & Leisure Activities

One of the main attractions of the East Coast area for leisure activities is East Coast Park and Beach. From Tembusu Residences, a short drive down Tanjong Katong Road leads to East Coast Park Service Road. It’s about 1 km away, so you could even walk or cycle there if you’re feeling energetic.

The Singapore Sports Hub and Kallang sports center are also nearby, less than 3 km away.

Accessibility & Connectivity

Homes in the East Coast are popular due to their proximity to the Central Business District. From Tembusu Grand, it’s a 15-minute drive to Raffles Place via Mountbatten Road and Nicoll Highway.

A 1 km drive down Tanjong Katong Road will get you onto the East Coast Parkway (ECP) and the expressway network. From there, it quickly connects to the Marina Coastal Expressway heading west to Marina Bay and the city center.

Heading east on the ECP, it’s a 20-minute drive to Changi Airport, making it convenient for frequent flyers, especially those working in the CBD.

LUMINA GRAND EC Featured Image

Lumina-Grand-EC-Overview

Introducing Lumina Grand EC, a new executive condominium located in the northwest of Singapore, at the corner of Bukit Batok Road and Bukit Batok West Avenue 5, right across from the new town of Tengah.

Residents will enjoy the amenities of the established Bukit Batok HDB estate and benefit from the new features being developed in Tengah.

The name “Lumina” comes from the Latin word “Lumen,” meaning bright, reflecting its motto “Live Greener, Live Brighter.” This luxury EC is designed with advanced green and smart features.

Lumina-Grand-EC-Quote 2

The developer, CDL Zenith Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of City Developments Limited (CDL), plans to start Preview E-Applications and Sales in January 2024.

CDL is well-known for its quality projects, including several executive condos. Their last project, Copen Grand EC in Tengah, launched in October 2022 and sold out within a month.

This project is located in Bukit Batok HDB town, near its northwest border, very close to the new Tengah estate across Bukit Batok Road.

While the location isn’t very central or convenient, with no MRT stations or large shopping malls within walking distance, there are still nearby amenities. Just across Bukit Batok Road, at the Parc Residences precinct, there is a retail area with shops and food outlets. Another similar area is at the Plantation Village precinct. Additionally, the nearby Le Quest neighborhood mall has a Fairprice supermarket, a food court, shops, and clinics.

If you don’t mind a slightly longer walk, you can reach both Tengah Plantation and Tengah Park MRT stations on the Jurong Region Line on foot. Tengah Plantation station is a bit closer, about a 12 or 13-minute walk in a straight line.

To get there, walk through Parc Residences and follow the park connector that leads to the station. It’s a pleasant walk, with some parts sheltered and others offering greenery.

Lumina-Grand-EC-Quote

Alternatively, you can take a short bus ride to Bukit Gombak station on the North-South MRT Line.

One advantage of this location is its easy access to parks and the park connector network. Bukit Batok Hillside Park is just a five-minute walk east of the site. The park connector network also runs right across Bukit Batok Road. The Tengah estate is filled with green corridors, true to its “forest town” name.

A major draw for families with young children is the new Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) on Tengah Park Avenue, within a 1KM radius. This co-ed school is set to open around 2030, shortly after Lumina Grand is completed.

In addition to the new Tengah estate to the northwest, Bukit Batok also borders the Jurong Lake District to the southwest. Both are growing and developing areas.

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) plans to make Tengah an innovative, sustainable “smart” forest town. It will be Singapore’s newest and most advanced estate, integrating native greenery into its design.

A 5km long, 100m wide forest corridor will run through Tengah, creating a biodiverse rainforest habitat with walking trails throughout the community. This will allow residents to enjoy nature and greenery up close.

Tengah is Singapore’s 24th HDB town, announced by the Ministry of National Development (MND) in 2016. Residents of Lumina Grand will benefit from the many new amenities and features this estate will offer.

The Jurong Lake District (JLD) and the nearby Jurong Innovation District (JID) have even more ambitious plans. URA’s vision for JLD is to become Singapore’s largest business hub outside the city center, creating a vibrant environment for work, play, living, and learning, along with tourism attractions in a lakeside park setting.

The Jurong Innovation District (JID) will be an advanced industrial, innovation, and manufacturing hub spanning 600 hectares. It is expected to create 95,000 jobs, increasing demand for housing and manpower.

Growing areas like these often offer better potential for capital appreciation. The Lumina Grand executive condo is well-positioned to benefit from this growth.

Lumina Grand EC Site Plan

The Lumina Grand site is a mid-sized L-shaped land parcel covering 178,937 square feet. It’s located at the corner of Bukit Batok Road and Bukit Batok West Avenue 5, positioned at a slight angle.

The site is mainly surrounded by other high-rise developments, both existing and planned, such as the new HDB flats at West Scape to its northeast.

Across the roads to the northwest and southwest are also HDB areas. Some, like West Edge, are already completed. Others, like Parc Residences, are still under construction, while the plot to the northwest is currently vacant.

Lumina-Grand-EC-Siteplan

One benefit of these high-rises is that they might block some of the afternoon sun from the west. The roads between the buildings also provide space and a bit of privacy.

On the southeast side, there is another executive condominium called Altura, which was launched for sale in August 2023. By September, Altura had sold 60% of its units, which is a positive sign for the upcoming launch of Lumina Grand EC.

The only side that offers a long-term open view is to the south, overlooking a school site across Avenue 5.

Location

The project is situated in Bukit Batok, near the boundary with the new Tengah town, allowing residents to enjoy amenities from both areas.

It is also just north of the Jurong Lake District (JLD) and the Jurong Innovation District (JID).

Schools

Lumina Grand is well-positioned for families with young children, being within 1 KM of several primary schools, including St. Anthony’s Primary School.

The most notable school is Anglo-Chinese (Primary) School, which will move to Tengah Park Avenue around 2030. This new location is also within 1 KM of Lumina Grand and will become co-ed, making it easier for siblings to attend. Other nearby educational institutions include Dulwich College and Millennia Institute.

Shops, Supermarkets, F&B, Banks

The Lumina Grand EC is not within walking distance to any major shopping centers. However, like most HDB estates, there are neighborhood shops and small shopping centers nearby.

Le Quest neighborhood mall is about 500m, or a 7-minute walk away, offering various shops and services, a food court, other F&B outlets, a Fairprice supermarket, and clinics. Across Bukit Batok Road, you can find HDB neighborhood F&B and retail options at Parc Residences and Plantation Village precincts.

Lumina-Grand-EC-Map

Nearest MRT Station

The location is not very close to an MRT station. If you don’t mind a longer but pleasant walk, Tengah Plantation station on the Jurong Region Line is about 12 to 13 minutes away, partly through a park connector.

Alternatively, you can take a bus to the Bukit Gombak MRT station on the North-South line.

Parks & Leisure Options

The area offers quick access to park connectors and parks. Bukit Batok Hillside Park is within a 5-minute walk. Across Bukit Batok Road is Tengah, known as the “forest town” due to its many green corridors and park connectors. One of these connectors runs just opposite the site.

With enhanced green spaces, waterways, and new parks, residents can enjoy nature up close. These green and blue networks will also boost biodiversity in the area.

Accessibility

Lumina Grand has quick access to the island-wide expressway network. The nearest exit to the PIE (Pan-Island Expressway) is less than 3 KM down Bukit Batok Road. Alternatively, a 5 KM drive up Bukit Batok Road and via Bricklands Road leads to the Kranji Expressway.
