Central Mall in Singapore

On 3 December 2021, The Business Times, Yahoo and EdgeProp, reported City Developments Limited’s (CDL) acquisition of Central Square with S$315m and the developer’s plan to redevelop it jointly with Central Mall into a large-scale mixed-use development.

According to the editorial coverage, the area occupied by Central Square and Central Mall would be redeveloped under the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Strategic Development Incentive (SDI) Scheme. The scheme permitted CDL to refresh the sites into a mixed-use development with commercial, hospitality and serviced apartment components. The total Gross Floor Area (GFA) would increase to 735,500 square feet, nearly 67% more than the existing GFA of 441,650 square feet.

J’den Condo

J'den Condo Featured Image

Jden-Condo-OverviewWelcome to the launch of J’den condo at Jurong Gateway, located in the heart of the Jurong Lake District. This development will be built on the former site of JCube Mall, which was owned by Capitaland.

In early 2023, Capitaland Group, through its development arm Capitaland Development (CLD), received provisional permission to redevelop this site. They plan to construct a new 40-storey residential building with commercial spaces on the ground and second floors. This project aims to address the recent shortage of new housing in Jurong Central.

The project is expected to go on sale in October 2023 and be completed by around 2027.

J’den Residences by Capitaland will be a mixed-use development on the former JCube site. It aligns with the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA) plans to introduce more homes, amenities, and businesses to the Jurong Lake District (JLD).

The grand masterplan aims to transform JLD into Singapore’s largest business hub outside the city center, integrating water and greenery with the energy and attractions of a Central Business District. The plan expects to add 20,000 new homes and 100,000 new jobs by 2040-2050, revitalizing the area for the 1 million residents already living in western Singapore.

Jden-Condo-Landmarks

 

 

The new J’den residences will have direct access to the Jurong East MRT interchange station, which serves the North-South, East-West, and the upcoming Jurong Region Line (JRL). The JRL is set to open in phases starting from 2027.

With these three MRT lines, residents will enjoy excellent connectivity across the island, including easy access to Changi Airport, the Central Business District (CBD), and Tuas Port.

J’den will also be connected to the IMM Building and Westgate through J-Walk, an elevated and sheltered pedestrian network. Additionally, it will link to the upcoming Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub.

The transport hub will offer numerous amenities such as a sports center, public library, air-conditioned bus interchange, community club, and commercial spaces.

Mr. Tan Yew Chin, CEO of Capitaland Development, summarized the project by stating, “Jurong Lake District (JLD) is rapidly becoming Singapore’s model for smart and sustainable living. We are excited to contribute to JLD’s transformation by leveraging CapitaLand’s extensive experience to create another outstanding development. With CapitaLand’s award-winning development capabilities, we are confident in maximizing the excellent location to create quality homes. Residents will enjoy living in a district with easy access to retail, entertainment, healthcare, education, sports, and fitness facilities. The development is expected to launch for sale in the second half of 2023.”

J’den Condo Highlights

  • Location: Situated in the Jurong Lake District, which includes Jurong Gateway and the Lakeside Precincts, set to become a major residential, leisure, and business hub outside the central area.
  • Jurong Gateway: Located within Jurong Gateway, the commercial heart of the West Region and Jurong Lake District. This area covers 70 hectares around Jurong East Station and aims to attract diverse businesses, creating more jobs and a larger tenant pool. Plans include up to 5 million square feet of office space, 2,800 hotel rooms, and over 2.5 million square feet of retail and entertainment space.
  • Amenities: J’den condo will be well-served by nearby shopping centers such as IMM, Westgate, and JEM, all within walking distance and connected by an elevated covered walkway. More shopping options are expected in the future.
  • Scenic Views: West-facing high-floor units will likely have unblocked views of Jurong Lake and its gardens, offering greenery and outdoor activities for residents.
  • Tourism and Development: Jurong Lake District is being developed as a new tourism destination with a lakeside village featuring entertainment, shopping, dining, and hotel complexes. This will be complemented by the new world-class Science Centre, forming an integrated tourism development.

The J’den condo is developed by Capitaland Development, a well-established and reputable developer in Singapore known for its reliability and fair market pricing.

In 2008, the URA introduced a bold plan to transform the Jurong Lake District (JLD) into a major growth center. Covering 360 hectares, similar in size to Marina Bay, it will be the largest regional hub outside the Central Business District (CBD).

The hub will have two main areas: the commercial center at Jurong Gateway and the leisure and recreational area at Lakeside. Together, these areas will create a vibrant mixed-use district for work and leisure in a lakeside setting, resembling the city center but in the west.

The district will include 100 hectares of open spaces, greenery, and parks, including the 90-hectare Jurong Lake Gardens.

JLD will focus on public transport, with more land dedicated to pathways for pedestrians, cyclists, and active mobility users.

The area already has good MRT connectivity with the North-South and East-West MRT lines. The upcoming Jurong Region Line and Cross Island Line, expected to be completed by 2029 and the early 2030s respectively, will further enhance connectivity. These new lines will connect residents to educational institutions and business areas within half an hour.

The Cross Island Line will link to Bukit Timah, the northeast and east of Singapore, and Changi Airport. The Jurong Region Line will improve travel to Jurong Industrial Estate, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and the Jurong Innovation District (JID).

JLD’s infrastructure aims to create a better living environment, reduce energy use, and support sustainability. It is also a testing ground for the “smart nation” initiative.

This part of Singapore is home to two top universities, providing a rich talent pool. It also hosts research, science, and industry parks like one-North and JID, supporting marine and high-value industries with advanced expertise and R&D.

J’den Residence Design Concept Inspiration

The design of J’den Residence is inspired by the lush landscapes of Jurong Lake Gardens. The architectural and site concepts reflect the main lake with its islands, the winding water edges, Neram Streams, and Rasau Walk.

Similarly, the colors and textures used in the design are inspired by natural elements like wood and stone.

J’den Condo Site Plan

The J’den Residence site is relatively small, fitting into a town center area. It has a roughly pentagon shape and covers about 83,000 square feet. However, the high plot ratio of 4.48 allows for much more built-up space.

Jden-Condo-Siteplan

The site is bordered by Jurong East Central 1 and Jurong Gateway roads on almost all four sides. Across these roads, you’ll find the Jurong Regional Library, bus interchange, and MRT station, all of which are low-rise buildings. On the fifth side, at the back, there are also some low-rise HDB buildings.

With J’den set to be 40 storeys high, most higher-floor units will enjoy relatively unblocked views, offering a degree of privacy without other tall buildings facing them. Especially for units facing west towards Jurong Lake and its gardens, the views of the wide water and greenery are almost guaranteed, as no high-rise buildings are planned for that area.

Location

J’den Residence is located in Jurong East Central, within Jurong Gateway, the commercial center of the Jurong Lake District. This area is well-established with commercial and institutional buildings, offices, malls, and a mix of HDB and private housing.

Technology and Growth Hubs
The residence is also close to significant technology and growth hubs like the International Business Park and the Jurong Innovation District.

Shops, Dining, Supermarkets, Banks
The location of J’den condo is well-supported by amenities. It is situated within the retail cluster around Jurong East MRT station. Nearby malls like IMM, Westgate, and Jem offer a wide range of dining and shopping options. These malls are connected by J-Walk, an elevated covered bridge, providing sheltered access.

Additionally, the new lakeside village being developed by URA, across Jurong Town Hall Road, will feature shops, hotels, and alfresco waterfront dining by Jurong Lake.

Leisure, Recreation, Sports
Residents can enjoy Jurong Lake and its 90 hectares of gardens and parks right across the road. The revamp and upgrade of these gardens have been ongoing.

North Gaia EC

North Gaia EC Featured Image

North+Gaia+Overview 2

Welcome to North Gaia EC, a new executive condominium in the north of Singapore, set to launch for sale in April 2022. This will be the first new EC in Yishun in six years, so there is expected to be high demand.

The North Gaia EC is developed by Sing Holdings Limited and is located at the corner of Yishun Avenue 9 and Avenue 8. It offers a great view of the 40-hectare Khatib Bongsu Nature Reserve, a beautiful mangrove area on Singapore’s northeastern coast.

Sing Holdings has developed several residential projects, from high-end developments like 38 Draycott Drive to their latest mass-market project, Parc Botannia.

The name North Gaia combines “Gaia,” the Greek Goddess of Earth, with its close proximity to nature and its location in the emerging North district of Singapore.

This new executive condo is located in Yishun township, which used to be considered quite far from the city. However, with growing interest in even more distant areas like Woodlands and Sembawang, and the successful launches of Provence and Parc Canberra ECs, that perception has changed.

This shift is partly due to the expansion of the expressway network and the increase in MRT lines across the island, which have significantly reduced travel times.

North Gaia EC is not within walking distance of an MRT station. It is located next to the Symphony Suites condo, which was completed three years ago, and is across Yishun Avenue 8 from a forested area.

The nearest MRT station is in Yishun town centre, about 1.6 kilometers down Yishun Avenue 9. This station is connected to Yishun’s main shopping area, including Northpoint City, Golden Village Yishun, and the Town Square. A network of feeder bus services helps with transportation in this mature estate.

Traveling from Yishun to Orchard Road by MRT takes about 26 minutes, covering 9 stations on the North-South line. To get to Raffles Place, it’s another 4 stations, totaling about 35 minutes (according to Transitlink). Adding 15 minutes for a feeder bus ride, the total journey to the city is comfortably within an hour.

Driving is faster, taking less than 25 minutes via the CTE (Central Expressway) during off-peak hours. This will be even quicker once the new North-South Expressway is completed in 2026, around the same time as the North Gaia EC. This new expressway will handle traffic from Sembawang and the northern region, ensuring smoother and faster drives on the CTE.

The development consists of 11 residential towers, each 14 storeys high, with a total of 616 units. It includes two levels of basement parking, two 50-meter swimming pools, a landscaped deck, a tennis court, a clubhouse, and many other communal facilities.

North+Gaia+Front

The project offers a mix of three to five-bedroom units, catering to young couples, families with kids, and extended or multi-generational families.

 

One highlight is the close proximity to the upcoming Khatib Bongsu Nature Park, a 40-hectare mangrove and mudflat habitat announced by the National Parks Board in March 2020 and slated for completion in 2024. Many higher-floor units will have unobstructed views of the nature park and water. Families can easily walk over to enjoy amenities like kayaking.

Additionally, a section of the Khatib Bongsu Park Connector runs right next to the site on its southeast side. This connector stretches from Yishun Pond along the canal to the park and the sea off Seletar Island (Pulau Seletar).

This is the only EC in Yishun where every block is within one kilometer of the popular Chongfu Primary School.

Yishun Avenue 8, the new road beside North Gaia EC, connects to Seletar West Link, providing an alternative route to the Tampines, Central, and Seletar expressways. It also leads directly to the Seletar Aerospace Hub, which is an employment center and a potential pool of tenants or buyers.

Yishun is a well-established HDB estate that offers a wide range of amenities for all ages, including food, shops, schools, banks, libraries, medical facilities, and nature parks.

It is seen as a family-oriented township with a thriving community. The area has recently been rejuvenated with new malls, cycling paths, hawker centers, healthcare facilities, and improved transport infrastructure.

The nearest neighborhood shopping center, Junction Nine, is just a 6-minute walk away and was completed in 2017. Northpoint City, an integrated development at the town center, also opened in 2017. It features the first Community Club in a shopping mall and is the largest mall in the north of Singapore, with over 500 dining and retail outlets. It connects directly to the Yishun MRT station via an underpass and integrates with the air-conditioned bus interchange and a town plaza.

North+Gaia+Adventure

Yishun is also known for its many parks and green spaces. Yishun Park, with Yishun Pond, and several small neighborhood parks are all connected by the park connector network. The North Gaia EC has its own section of the park connector next to it and a forested area opposite.

Lower Seletar Reservoir Park, which borders the tranquil waters of Lower Seletar Reservoir, adds to Yishun’s charm. Few estates in Singapore have such a large body of water nearby.

Yishun also has its own medical facilities, including Khoo Teck Puat Hospital and Yishun Community Hospital near the town center, providing peace of mind with medical help close by if needed.

To the immediate southwest is the private condominium, Symphony Suites. The other three sides, bounded by roads, are relatively open.

To the northeast, across Yishun Avenue 8, is a large patch of greenery stretching to the sea and Seletar Island, facing Johor Straits. This area is currently a reserve site, with 40 hectares designated for the Khatib Bongsu mangrove reserve.

No development plans have been announced for this reserve site, so for now, higher floor units on this side will enjoy unblocked views.

North+Gaia+Siteplan

The southeast side of the site borders a canal flowing from Yishun Pond to the sea and faces a park connector running alongside the canal. Vehicular access to the site is via Yishun Close, a quieter cul-de-sac away from the main roads.

All the blocks are angled at 22.5 degrees to achieve a near north-south orientation, which maximizes cross-ventilation and minimizes heat from the afternoon sun. This tilt also maximizes spacing between blocks, reduces direct overlooking, and avoids directly facing neighboring buildings.

This orientation allows for the creation of two main strips of landscaped spaces between the tower blocks, serving as visual corridors.

The development’s facilities are seamlessly integrated into the landscape, featuring pools and various garden experiences. This design creates a resort-like effect with cascading waterfalls and dynamic vistas, offering spatial surprises as one moves through the area.

Developer

The North Gaia executive condo is being developed by Sing Holdings Limited, a local property development and investment group.

Sing Holdings Limited

Founded in Singapore in 1964, Sing Holdings Limited is listed on the Mainboard of the Singapore Exchange along with its subsidiaries (the “Group”).

Sing Holdings has a long and established history in real estate development, spanning various property types such as commercial and industrial buildings, condominiums, and landed houses.

Some of its notable projects include the EastGate building on East Coast Road and the BizTech Centre on Aljunied Road. The Group also developed Ocean Towers in Shanghai, an award-winning Grade-A office building in China. Additionally, it owns a 291-room service hotel in Melbourne, the Travelodge Docklands.

In the residential sector, Sing Holdings has developed properties like The Laurels at Cairnhill Road, Parc Botannia in Sengkang, Waterwoods in Punggol, and Robin Residences at Robin Drive.

Sing Holdings is committed to delivering high-quality projects to its clients. The company pays meticulous attention to every detail, from design and conceptualization to site and floor layouts, selecting finishes and fittings, construction, and final touches upon completion.

This dedication to quality has earned Sing Holdings several prestigious awards, including the FIABCI Singapore Property Award for The Laurels and the BCA Green Mark Award (Gold Plus) for Parc Botannia and Waterwoods.

Looking ahead, Sing Holdings aims to continue focusing on its core property investment and development business. It plans to leverage its real estate expertise and experience to create quality homes for its customers.

Location

The North Gaia is located at the intersection of Yishun Avenue 8 and Avenue 9, at the northeast corner of the Yishun estate.

Yishun is a well-established HDB estate with several other executive and private condos, all of which have been sold out and completed for some time.

MRT Station

North Gaia is about 1.6 km or roughly a 20-minute walk from the nearest MRT station at Yishun town centre. While this isn’t a very comfortable walking distance, there are feeder buses nearby that go to the town centre.

From Yishun station, it takes about 26 minutes by train to Orchard Road, and about 35 minutes to Raffles Place and Marina Bay.

North+Gaia+Connect

Shopping, F&B, Supermarkets, Banks, Childcare

Being in a mature estate, North Gaia is well-provided with healthcare centres, retail shops, eating houses, neighbourhood malls, and childcare facilities.

One nearby neighbourhood centre, Junction Nine, is a 5 to 6-minute walk down Yishun Avenue 9 and offers a food court, supermarket, and various shops.

Northpoint City, a mega mall at the town centre, provides one-stop shopping with over 500 shops, including F&B outlets, retail stores, services, supermarkets, and child enrichment centres. It also houses a regional library, community club, and town plaza.

Schools & Educational Institutions

North Gaia is within a 1 km radius of several primary schools, including Huamin, Xishan, North View, and Chongfu. Chongfu is particularly notable, being one of the most sought-after schools, ranked 30th in popularity last year.

Gems World Academy, an international school about 2 km away, caters to students aged two to 18, offering the IB diploma program and achieving good results.

Leisure & Sports Amenities

Yishun offers recreational options such as exercise and fitness corners, cycling paths, and several parks linked to scenic waterways. North Gaia is next to the Khatib Bongsu Park Connector and across Yishun Avenue 8 from the nature park. A 15-minute walk along the park connector leads to Yishun Park and Yishun Pond.

Lower Seletar Reservoir and its surrounding park, redeveloped a few years ago, offer a multi-purpose stage, bioswale rain garden, water play area, and fishing jetty. The park is popular with joggers, strollers, and those interested in dragon boating and kayaking at the Lower Seletar Water Sports Centre.

Accessibility

For drivers, North Gaia offers an alternate and faster route to town. Instead of following the usual traffic via Yishun Avenue 2 and Lentor Avenue to the Seletar Expressway, residents can take the new Yishun Avenue 8 to Seletar West Link, then exit to the Seletar Expressway and CTE, or the Tampines Expressway.

Using this route, it takes about 21 minutes off-peak to reach Raffles Place and about 20 minutes to Changi Airport.

Irwell Hill Residences

Irwell Hill Residences Featured Image
ihr_overview
Introducing Irwell Hill Residences by CDL Perseus, part of City Developments Pte Ltd. This new high-rise private residential development is located at Irwell Bank Road in the River Valley area, close to Orchard Road’s shopping district.

Irwell Hill Residences are in District 9, one of Singapore’s most prestigious areas, surrounded by luxury private residences. It’s less than a 15-minute walk from Orchard Road and also close to Robertson Quay along the Singapore River.

For families, River Valley Primary School, a highly regarded school, is within a 1 KM radius and less than a 15-minute walk away.

The location is central and easily accessible, just 200 meters or a 3-minute walk from the Great World MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL), set to open around 2022, before Irwell Hill Residences is completed.

Its proximity to the CBD makes it appealing for those working in central Singapore, being only a 10-minute drive from Raffles Place, Marina Bay, and Shenton Way Business District.

Irwell Hill Residence offers an opportunity to own a home or investment property near Orchard Road at a more affordable price compared to the usual District 9 properties. Additionally, it promises to be an architectural standout, designed by the renowned Dutch firm MVRDV, known for their innovative and sustainable designs.

Built by City Developments, a reputable and trusted developer in Singapore, Irwell Hill Residences guarantees quality and excellence.

Nearby, the Great World City mall is about 250 meters down Kim Seng Road. This mall is likely the most convenient place for residents to shop, with various stores, a supermarket, food and beverage outlets, a food court, and lifestyle services.

A bit further, you’ll find Kim Seng Park and the Singapore River, which flows around the upcoming Fraser Residence Promenade and down to Robertson Quay. This area is known for its lively nightlife, with plenty of dining and entertainment options.

ihr_pool

Fraser Residence Promenade, a mixed development currently under construction, includes the Rivière, a 99-year leasehold property similar to Irwell Hill Residences. Rivière re-launched for sale at the end of 2020, with prices between $2,400 to $3,000 per square foot (PSF).

In this area, prices for 99-year leasehold properties generally range from SGD$2,680 to $2,860 PSF. However, CDL Perseus secured the Irwell Bank site at a lower land rate of SGD$1,515 PSF, allowing them to price below the market rate while still making a profit.

The area has a thriving community of expatriates attracted to its vibrant atmosphere, making Irwell Hill Residences an appealing investment for those looking for strong tenant potential.

The Irwell Hill showflat will open in March 2021. Viewings for the preview will be by appointment only, on a first-come, first-served basis, with limited slots available due to capacity restrictions.

  • PH1 at Block 6, #36-09: 4 bedrooms, 2,185 sq ft
  • PH2 at Block 6, #36-15: 4 bedrooms, 2,228 sq ft
  • PH3 at Block 2, #36-08: 5 bedrooms with a private lift, 2,605 sq ft

Please note that the listed areas include strata voids.

Irwell Hill Residences Site Plan

Irwell Hill Residences is located on a mid-sized, somewhat elongated corner site of approximately 137,000 square feet. Its longest side faces west along Irwell Bank Road, with a shorter side facing south along River Valley Road.

To the north, a new short cul-de-sac road provides access to the site, with an empty plot of reserve land across the road. To the east are two older developments: the 13-storey Riva Lodge apartments and the taller, 24-storey Leonie Towers condominium, which has two blocks set wide apart with a pool and facilities in the center. This layout offers unblocked eastern views for Irwell Hill residents.

To the west, across Irwell Bank Road, are older low-rise apartments and houses. The zoning here ensures these will remain low-rise even if redeveloped, so the western views from Irwell Hill should stay unblocked.

Interesting Trivia

  • The distance between the South and North towers is 63 meters, about the length of two tennis courts.
  • The heritage rain trees on the site are estimated to be between 35 to 45 years old.
  • There are around 1,500 metallic cuboid feature frames on the facades of both towers. These frames change color slightly between gold and champagne as the sun moves, creating an interesting play of shades on the towers’ facades.
  • Approximately 60% of the grounds are dedicated to facilities, including four leisure pools: the 50-meter Infinity-Edge Raintree Pool, a 35-meter Club Pool, a Play Pool, and a Spa Pool.
  • The function rooms and co-working spaces at the Sky Terraces are equipped with Wi-Fi and power points for conferences and meetings.
