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.

Floor Plans

North Gaia EC Site Plan

The site is an irregular, almost rhomboid shape, covering just over 230,000 square feet of land. It is located at the corner of Yishun Avenue 9 and Yishun Avenue 8.

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.

Sceneca Residence

Sceneca-Residence-Overview

Sceneca Residence is a new housing development located right in front of Tanah Merah MRT station. It features private apartments with shared facilities and has commercial space on the ground floor.

The ground floor will have retail units covering up to 2,000 square meters. Of this, at least 1,000 square meters (about 10,700 square feet) will be dedicated to a supermarket.

Residents will have direct access to the MRT station, offering convenient connections to train networks, groceries, food, and shops. This makes for an easy and comfortable lifestyle.

The site is located in a private residential area, surrounded by other condos and low-rise houses, giving it an exclusive feel.

The project is being developed by MCC Land (Singapore) Pte Ltd, who successfully launched and sold out Provence Residence EC in early 2021.

Located in a well-established private housing area off New Upper Changi Road, the Sceneca Residence enjoys a breezier environment. It is within walking distance of amenities like the Bedok Sports & Fitness Center.

The development offers a direct sheltered walkway to Tanah Merah MRT station right at its doorstep. Such convenient sites are rare because there’s limited land around stations, and most are already developed.

Sceneca-Residence-MRT link

The connectivity is excellent. Tanah Merah station is an interchange for the Changi Airport Line and the East-West Line, making travel easy. It’s one train stop to Bedok Town Centre, the Changi International Business Park, and the Singapore University of Technology & Design (SUTD).

The station is also just two stops from Changi International Airport, including Jewel. It takes 22 minutes on a direct train ride via the East-West line to reach the CBD & Marina Bay Financial Centre.

The site is within 2 kilometers of the beaches and leisure activities at East Coast Park, making it very convenient. This location could be attractive to investors and parents looking for a safe home for their families. Additionally, there’s likely to be rental demand from professionals working nearby at Changi Business Park, logistics and industrial hubs, and the airport.

The project’s design will feature plenty of greenery, including on the building’s facade and facility decks. The focus will be on eco-friendly design and sustainability. Cars will access the site via Tanah Merah Kechil Link, a low-traffic road within the estate.

The commercial area will include a supermarket, retail shops, and food and beverage outlets. These shops can also be used for medical or dental clinics, fitness centers, gyms, or commercial schools.

Activities that could disturb residents, such as karaoke lounges, bars, pubs, or night clubs, will not be allowed by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).

URA guidelines require that all commercial units, along with common spaces and walkways, be owned as a single strata lot. This is beneficial for the project, as a single owner can ensure a good mix of retail options and maintain the area well.

There are several reasons why demand for this project looks promising.

Sceneca-Residence-nature

Firstly, there is little to no competition for new units in the neighborhood. All other projects in this residential area have sold out long ago. The last one, Grandeur Park Residences, launched in 2017 and sold out its 720 units by 2020. Before that, The Glades launched in 2013. This suggests there may be pent-up demand for new units.

Regarding future supply, this is the second last plot of land available near Tanah Merah MRT station. While there is one more piece of land across New Upper Changi Road, it’s unlikely that the URA will release it for sale soon. There has been no indication of when that might happen. Typically, there is a lag of at least a couple of years from when a site is listed for sale to when units become available to the public. Based on past trends, it could be a 4 to 5 year wait.

Additionally, Sceneca Residence is a relatively small project with fewer than 300 units for sale, so finding enough buyers shouldn’t be a major issue.

Moreover, this project is a mixed development and is the most conveniently located. It is the closest to the station, with direct sheltered access to it and to the shops on the ground level.

All these factors suggest that there might be a strong response to the launch.

Sceneca Residence Site Plan

The Sceneca Residence site is almost rectangular, with an indentation to accommodate the entrance B link to Tanah Merah MRT station. It is bordered by roads on two sides.

To the south, it faces New Upper Changi Road and the MRT station. Since the East-West MRT line runs above ground, there will be some train noise, but buffers are planned to reduce it.

Sceneca-Residence-Siteplan 1

The north side of the site is bordered by Tanah Merah Kechil Link, a small lane serving nearby condominiums. This side is quieter and more open, especially towards the west, where it faces the facilities at East Meadows, providing an unblocked view.

The main entrance and vehicular access to Sceneca Residence will be via Tanah Merah Kechil Link.

Sceneca-Residence-Siteplan 2

To the west and east are two other condominiums, Urban Vista and Optima @ Tanah Merah. Sceneca Residence is the last empty land parcel in this area.

Currently, there is a covered walkway running across the land, connecting Tanah Merah Kechil Link with New Upper Changi Road. This walkway will be enhanced and integrated into the ground-level commercial space.

The Botany at Dairy Farm

The Botany at Dairy Farm Featured Image

The-Botany-Overview

Welcome to The Botany at Dairy Farm, a new condo for sale in the Dairy Farm estate in the Hillview area, near Upper Bukit Timah Road. It is located at Dairy Farm Walk, Dairy Farm Heights, and Dairy Farm Lane, opposite the German European School of Singapore.

Though it is about an 11-minute walk from Hillview MRT station, The Botany condo has a unique advantage: it is close to the lush greenery and reservoirs of the Central Water Catchment area of Singapore.

Moreover, it is expected to be the lowest priced new condo launch currently.

The-Botany-Map

Across from the low-rise German European School are Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Dairy Farm Nature Park. These protected nature reserves ensure that higher floor south-facing units will have green views of Bukit Timah Hill and the parks.

To the east and southeast, across Bukit Timah Expressway, lies the Upper Pierce Reservoir and its surrounding forests, which are part of the Central Water Catchment area.

To the west and northwest, across Bukit Timah Road, is Hillview Estate, featuring Bukit Batok Nature Park, Town Park, and Bukit Gombak.

Homes in the Hillview and Dairy Farm estates attract buyers who prefer a quieter, greener environment over convenience and crowds. This area offers a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere.

The-Botany-Map 2

Additionally, studies have shown that homes near the Central Catchment water bodies and reserves, like this one, are up to 2 degrees cooler and often have fresher and less polluted air. This is a significant benefit given the current climate changes and rising temperatures.

The Botany condo is developed by Sim Lian Land, part of Sim Lian Group, a local real estate company.

The design takes advantage of the best features of the site and its unique character. The architecture and landscaping will blend seamlessly with the surrounding greenery.

At the main entrance, there will be an open and welcoming arrival deck, surrounded by lush greenery. Similar open spaces will be placed between the blocks to allow plenty of light and air into the units.

The garden will have various water features and small landscaped areas, creating a spa-like and resort-like feel. Nature is a key focus throughout The Botany condo, with breezes through the trees providing a sense of peace and tranquility.

The communal facilities are designed to connect residents with the outdoors, featuring indoor-outdoor spaces woven throughout the area.

The Botany at Dairy Farm Site Plan

This Dairy Farm condo is on a regular-shaped plot of land in the Dairy Farm Estate. It’s bordered by Dairy Farm Walk to the north, Dairy Farm Heights to the west, and Dairy Farm Lane to the south.

The main vehicle entrance will be from Dairy Farm Walk.

The-Botany-Siteplan

Currently, the land to the north and west is empty but is planned for future residential developments and a school. To the south, across Dairy Farm Lane, is the German European School Singapore, which is six storeys high, except for a school field at its east end.

Because of this, higher floor south-facing units at The Botany condo might have views of Bukit Timah Hill, especially since the nature reserves on Bukit Timah Hill are on elevated ground.

Similarly, higher floors might also have partial views to the east of the Central Water Catchment forests and Upper Peirce Reservoir.

HillV2, on the other hand, is a more upscale and trendy mall. It’s not very large but meets most shopping and dining needs. It features a pet shop, florist, dental and medical clinics, beauty and hair salons, and a tuition center. Hillview Market Place, the supermarket here, adds to the grocery shopping options.

The eateries at HillV2 offer a variety of cuisines, including Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian, and local fare. There’s also a Starbucks, a couple of bistros, and ice-cream parlors. The mall’s design creates a cozy and spacious atmosphere, making it a popular hangout spot for residents.

The-Botany-Location

Nature and Outdoor Activities

What sets The Botany apart from other developments is its proximity to nature reserves and parks. Few places offer such quick access to a large nature park with cycling trails and walking paths, providing a great outdoor space for kids and promoting a healthier lifestyle.

Nearest MRT Station

The closest MRT station is Hillview on the Downtown Line, about a 10-minute walk down Dairy Farm Walk and Dairy Farm Road. While not extremely close, the Downtown Line is very useful. It connects to the Botanic Gardens (Circle Line), Newton, Bugis, Marina Bay, Fort Canning, Bedok, and ends at Changi.

Schools and Academic Institutions

The Downtown Line also provides access to the Bukit Timah education belt, which includes renowned schools like Nanyang Girls’ High, Methodist Girls’, National Junior College, Raffles Girls’, NUS (Bukit Timah Campus), Hwa Chong Institution, Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road), and Singapore Chinese Girls’ School.

Interestingly, it might be easier to secure a place in these schools compared to the popular ones in HDB areas due to lower housing density and less competition in the Bukit Timah area.

Accessibility

Drivers will find The Botany condo location convenient. It’s just a couple of minutes’ drive from Dairy Farm Road to the exit onto Bukit Timah Expressway. From there, you can head north to the Seletar Expressway (SLE) and Woodlands Causeway, or south to the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE).

The LakeGarden Residences

the-lake-garden-residences overview

Welcome to the Preview of the Lake Garden Residence. The LakeGarden Residences is a new condo facing Jurong Lake, set to go on sale in July 2023. It is being developed by Wing Tai Holdings, a well-respected developer in Singapore.

Although it is not within easy walking distance of an MRT station, the condo offers unobstructed panoramic views of Jurong Lake and its gardens, making it an attractive option. Its location near the Jurong Lake District, known as the “CBD of the West,” is also promising. This area is being transformed into Singapore’s largest business center outside of Raffles Place and Marina Bay.

Summary of the Lake Garden condominium’s main attractions:

Located in the Jurong Lake District, which includes Jurong Gateway and the Lakeside Precincts. This area is set to become a major business, leisure, and residential hub, the largest outside the city center. Jurong Gateway will be the commercial heart of Jurong Lake District and the West Region. Covering 70 hectares around Jurong East Station, it will support various businesses and create jobs close to residents. There are plans for up to 500,000 square meters of office space, providing a potential pool of tenants. Additionally, there will be up to 2,800 hotel rooms and 250,000 square meters of retail and entertainment space.

The LakeGarden condo will be well-served by nearby shopping malls, including JEM, JCube, Westgate, and IMM. One of the most appealing aspects of this development is its proximity to Jurong Lake. It is situated almost within the gardens of the lake, offering wide, unobstructed views of the water and greenery. These views are all east-facing, avoiding the harsh afternoon sun that is common in many other places with similar views.

the-lake-garden-residences-aerial view

The architects have made the most of the beautiful views. Nearly 75% of the Lake Garden Residences units face the lake and its gardens. Additionally, Sky Decks and Sky Terraces offer even more expansive panoramic views.

Jurong Lake and its gardens provide more than just scenery. They offer parks to explore and outdoor activities for sports enthusiasts, right at their doorstep. The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is also building a lakeside village across the lake. This large complex will include dining, shopping, entertainment, and hotel options, along with a new world-class Science Centre. Jurong Lake District is being designed as a new tourism hotspot for Singapore.

The site is conveniently close to major expressways like the PIE and AYE, providing easy access across the island to Changi Airport.

It is one of the few private condominiums to achieve GreenMark Platinum SLE. Key features include:

  • Top-performing Green Mark Building with at least 60% energy savings.
  • True cross ventilation in over 60% of the units.
  • Solar panels offsetting 30% of the electricity usage for the clubhouse, function room, pool, and gym.
  • Energy-efficient appliances.
  • Protection and preservation of the natural ecosystem in the immediate surroundings.
  • Bicycle lots and EV car charging stations.

Lake Garden Residences is being developed by Wing Tai Holdings, a leading developer known for its long track record and association with upscale projects.

In 2008, URA revealed a grand master plan to transform Jurong Lake District (JLD) into a new growth area. Covering 360 hectares, about the size of Marina Bay, it will become the largest regional center outside the CBD.

The plan includes two main areas: a commercial hub at Jurong Gateway and a recreational and leisure center at Lakeside.

URA envisions JLD as a vibrant mixed-use business district and a unique lakeside destination for work and leisure, known as the “CBD of the West.” It will have its own residential population and a lively street scene.

The area will feature over 100 hectares of parks, greenery, and open spaces, including the 90-hectare Jurong Lake Gardens, which will blend seamlessly into the surrounding neighborhoods.

JLD is prioritizing public transport, with more land allocated for cyclists, pedestrians, and active mobility users.

The district already has good MRT connectivity with the East-West and North-South lines. The Jurong Region Line and Cross Island Line will be added, to be completed by 2029 and the 2030s, respectively. These new lines will connect people to major business centers and educational hubs in the West and Central regions within 30 minutes.

The Jurong Region Line will link to the Jurong Innovation District, Nanyang Technological University, and Jurong Industrial Estate. The Cross Island Line will connect to developments in the east and northeast, including Changi Airport.

JLD’s infrastructure is designed to support sustainability, reduce energy usage, and create a better living environment. It will also serve as a test bed for the “intensive smart nation initiative.”

By 2040 to 2050, JLD will add 100,000 new jobs and 20,000 new homes, bringing fresh vibrancy to the west.

The west region is home to Singapore’s two top universities, providing a rich talent pool. Nearby are One-north, the Jurong Innovation District, and Tuas Port, making it ideal for supporting high-value and marine industries with cutting-edge R&D and expertise.

Jurong Gateway

the-lake-garden-residences-view

Located around Jurong MRT station, Jurong Gateway is the commercial hub of Jurong Lake District (JLD) and the west region of Singapore. The area around the station currently has office, institution, and retail spaces. By 2029, it will include more office and community spaces, an integrated transport hub, and a new Jurong Region Line station.

Jurong Gateway will become the largest business hub outside the city, offering 500,000 square meters of office space in a lakeside setting. Additional spaces for food and beverage, retail, hotels, and entertainment will meet the diverse needs of businesses and residents, all connected by multi-level linkways.

Jurong Gateway is also close to the International Business Park, industrial estates, and educational and research institutions, making it an ideal location for company headquarters and businesses in the science, technology, and sustainability sectors.

Lakeside

the-lake-garden-residences by the lake

 

Lakeside covers over 220 hectares of land and 70 hectares of water at Jurong Lake, near the Lake Garden Residences.

It is being developed into a major leisure destination with a family-friendly waterfront promenade and park. Jurong Lake Gardens will be Singapore’s first national gardens in the heartlands.

Lakeside Gardens, which opened in April 2019, features water-play and nature-themed areas, sports and recreational facilities, and restored wetlands.

The rest of Jurong Lake Gardens will be completed progressively from 2021. A lakeside village will offer shopping, dining, and boutique hotel stays by the waterfront. A new waterway will also be created to bring the lake closer to Jurong Gateway.

Additionally, a new world-class Science Centre beside Chinese Garden MRT station is set to be completed around 2025. Plans include four or five new edutainment attractions set against the scenic lakeside backdrop.

Developer

The LakeGarden Singapore will be developed by Winville Investment, a subsidiary of Wing Tai Holdings.

Wing Tai Holdings Limited

Wing Tai Holdings Limited (“Wing Tai” or the “Group”) was founded in 1955 in Hong Kong and incorporated in Singapore in August 1963.

Today, Wing Tai Holdings is one of Singapore’s leading real estate developers and lifestyle companies. Listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange since 1989, it is also an investment holding company with assets exceeding SGD$4.5 billion.

The Group focuses on growth markets in Asia. Under the Wing Tai Asia brand, the network includes Wing Tai Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Malaysia), Wing Tai Properties Limited (Hong Kong), Wing Tai China Pte Ltd (China), and Wing Tai Holdings Limited (Singapore). The Group’s core businesses are property development and investment, hospitality management, and lifestyle retail in strategic Asian markets.

Wing Tai’s corporate philosophy aims to achieve win-win partnerships with clients, business partners, and staff. The company values a track record of quality and utilizes expertise for its extensive product portfolio.

Wing Tai’s logo features the evergreen Tembusu tree, known for its sweet-smelling flowers, extensive branches, and deep roots. Its deeply-fissured bark symbolizes tenacity and strength, reflecting Wing Tai’s philosophy and vision of integrity, growth, and resilience.

Location

The LakeGarden condo is located right at the edge of the growing Jurong Lake District. It can be accessed via Yuan Ching Road on the west and directly fronts Jurong Lake to the east. This is a well-established residential area with a mix of HDB and private housing.

It is also close to other key hubs like the Jurong Innovation District and the International Business Park.

Shops, Supermarkets, F&B, Banks

Being in an established housing estate, The LakeGarden location is well-supported by amenities. The main retail cluster around Jurong East MRT station includes Jem, Westgate, and IMM. While these offer a wide range of shopping and dining options, they are not within easy walking distance, so residents will need to take a short ride to reach them.

For daily shopping needs, the nearby HDB neighborhood shops are more convenient. The Taman Jurong Market & Food Centre and Taman Jurong Shopping Centre, a small neighborhood mall, are about a 6 to 7-minute walk across Yuan Ching Road.

Plans are also in place to set up village-like shops and alfresco waterfront cafes within the gardens of Jurong Lake, which will be much closer.

Healthcare

The healthcare cluster serving the west region is a short walk from Jurong East MRT station and Bus Interchange. It includes Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH) and Jurong Community Hospital (JCH). These two hospitals were the first in Singapore to be built together as an integrated hub, enhancing patient care, convenience, and efficiency. JCH provides a suitable recovery environment for patients who no longer need acute care.

Designed with eco-friendly features, the hospitals use solar energy for landscape lighting and hot water supply, and harvested rainwater for watering rooftop gardens. This healthcare hub is also seamlessly linked to surrounding malls, retail shops, and eateries.

Leisure, Recreation, Sports

Jurong Lake Gardens park is practically at the doorstep of residents. This 90-hectare park is Singapore’s newest national garden in the heartlands. Lakeside Garden, its first zone, was revamped and reopened in April 2019 as a refreshing waterside park, winning an Urban Land Institute Asia Pacific Award for Excellence.

The Japanese Garden and Chinese Garden are currently being redeveloped and are expected to open in 2023/2024.

When fully completed, the park will be a green sanctuary for families, featuring a 70-hectare lake with over 10 kilometers of active waterfront amidst greenery. It will offer a variety of water activities, recreational facilities, nature walks, birdwatching, and waterfront play experiences for kids.

Nearest MRT Station

The LakeGarden location is about 1.2 kilometers, or roughly a 15-minute walk, from Lakeside MRT station. Although it might seem far from town, Lakeside station is just 12 stops, or about a 30-minute ride, to Raffles Place.

Lakeside station is on the East-West MRT line, which runs across the island, connecting the west region to Changi Airport in the east and passing by the One-North precinct with its research hubs and science parks.

Accessibility

The LakeGarden Residences location has quick access to the expressway network. It is less than 2 kilometers from the nearest exit to the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) and 3.5 kilometers from the Pan Island Expressway (PIE), allowing for fast travel to the rest of the island. For example, an off-peak drive to Changi Airport can be completed in about half an hour.
