Singapore -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/10/2013 -- Nestled in the quiet landed housing estate of Jalan Lempeng, Trilinq will be the most iconic development standing 36 storeys high, offering owners paranomic views of the Ulu Sungei Pandan and Pandan Reservoir.

Despite being a large-scale development comprising 755 units, Trilinq is built on an expansive site area of 262,856 sq ft, with a building coverage of less than 17%. This means that there are plenty of empty spaces, greenery, and facilities for residents to enjoy without feeling overcrowded. There is a good mix of 1 to 4 bedrooms and penthouses so whether singles, young couples, or families will find something that meets their needs here.

Designed for luxury living, Trilinq features voluminous sky terraces that have been carefully pocketed at different levels to allow captivating views of the city's skyline – a great way to entertain your guests. Another unique feature is its 5 different themed pools, each with accompanying facilities such as the Cabana Bay, Beach Cove and Jewel Islet. If this is not enough, park lovers can experience park hopping on foot, bicycle or rollerblades through a park connector connecting Pandan Reservoir, Pandan Reservoir Fitness Corner, West Coast Park and Clementi Woods Park.

Trilinq is only a short 10 minute stroll to the nearby Clementi MRT station, air-conditioned bus interchange, Clementi Mall, and Clementi Town Centre, where you can find all your daily conveniences and amenities. Travelling to town is a breeze – just 10 to 15mins drive puts you in the heart of Orchard Road, Marina Bay Sands, Harbourfront, and the Central Business District. It is well-connected to major expressways such as AYE and PIE, providing seamless islandwide connectivity.

Proximity to good and reputable schools is another major plus point. Trilinq is close to Nanhua Primary/High School, Pei Tong Primary Schoo, Singapore Polytechnic, NUS School of Mathematics and Science, National University of Singapore, and School of Science and Technology.

The high HDB prices show that there is strong demand for this area and given the scarcity of condos within walking to distance to Clementi MRT will greatly boost the desirability of this project. We can expect overwhelming response for Trilinq, especially from HDB upgraders living in the neighbourhood. With so many amenities around and being in such a convenient location adds to its significant potential for capital appreciation. Trilinq will also attract rental demand from professionals working at the nearby International Business Park, Tradehub 21, National University of Singapore, and Fusionpolis.

Trilinq is targeted to open doors this January for its preview. Echelon, the recent new launch near Redhill MRT has done well in its December launch. Riding on the wave of the New Year sentiments, will Trilinq be scaling greater heights?

While the future Jurong Lake District and Punggol 21 has stolen much of the limelight, the Eastern region of Singapore has also embarked on ambitious plans to create a fresh new look for its existing towns.

Singapore -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/03/2013 -- While the future Jurong Lake District and Punggol 21 has stolen much of the limelight, the Eastern region of Singapore has also embarked on ambitious plans to create a fresh new look for its existing towns. One can look forward to the plethora of dining and entertainment options that will soon be available, as well as benefit from the convenience of enhanced transport links.

Bedok

In a couple of years' time, Bedok Town Centre will get a major facelift: Besides a new hawker centre, multi-storey carpark as well as a town plaza and heritage corner, there will be a mixed development offering about 35,000 sq m of commercial space and 475 private apartments. The new integrated community and sports complex will also be located within the town centre and will house facilities such as a swimming complex, sports hall, tennis centre and fitness centre.

Tampines

The centrepiece of the Tampines Masterplan is the new Tampines Town Hub, a vibrant place where residents can gather, learn, play and build stronger bonds. Built on the current Tampines Stadium and Sports Hall site, this integrated lifestyle town hub will be the first of its kind in Singapore. The town hub will feature a range of facilities and services including a mega Community Club, performing arts theatre, retail shops, food & beverage outlets, fun pool, karaoke rooms, futsal, flea markets and concerts, laser quest and a bowling alley.

Tanah Merah

The neighbourhood in the vicinity of Tanah Merah MRT has seen much buyer interest, as evidenced by the strong take-up in eCO and transaction prices at Optima. The area has attracted young couples looking for cheaper units in the East, as well as expatriates as it is located near Changi Business Park, where banks such as Citi, DBS, Credit Suisse and Standard Chartered have their global support and backroom service. Based on the three parcels sold this year, there will be about 1,900 new homes added to this neighbourhood. It remains yet to be seen whether concerns of oversupply will affect sales of the upcoming new launch situated right next Tanah Merah MRT - Urban Vista.

Downtown Line

Transport links are greatly enhanced with the introduction of Downtown Line to connect residents in the East to the Central Region of Singapore. Stage3 of Downtown Line 3 stretches from Singapore Expo to Liang Court in River Valley in the South. A total of 16 stops are planned, including Tampines East, Upper Changi, Kampong Ubi and Kaki Bukit. Residents in these areas will be able to transfer to the East-West Line via the Expo interchange.

With these new developments, the East will be transformed into a vibrant neighbourhood where people live, work and play!

Strategic Location

Strategically located in the highly desired and prestigious district 10, d'Leedon is perfect for anyone that relishes the unparalleled connectivity that city-fringe living provides. Residences have Farrer Road MRT right at their doorstep, which connects them seamlessly to any part of Singapore.

Surrounded by low-rise private residential properties and Good Class Bungalows (GCBs), residents are assured of the highly sought after panoramic skyline view of the Singapore city. This is something very rare in compact and clustered Singapore.

World Class Developmental Features

Of course, being strategically located will not be sufficient for a demanding investor. Investors also need to know that what they are investing in is modern and of a high standard.

And of course d'Leedon, a marvelous development of 7 towers that escalate to the sky, which prominence is set to outshine any others in the area. There is a large expanse of land (only 20% is utilized by the 7 towers) dedicated for landscaping and facilities. These facilities include a gymnasium, events courts, restaurant, retail, children's wet play area, tennis courts and many others. Residents know what they are getting is indeed truly luxurious and world class.

Excellent Amenities and Schools

There is also an excellent range of entertainment, dining and recreational options around d'Leedon. It is located close to many popular and exciting leisure hubs like Holland Village, Tanglin Village and Dempsey Hill, as well as the world class Orchard Road shopping belt. There are also many recreational spaces like the Singapore Botanic Gardens and the Singapore Island Country Club that is just a short drive away.

In highly competitive Singapore, parents are usually eager to stay near to good schools to facilitate the entry of their children to these schools. d'Leedon is located within 2 km to two of the most prestigious primary schools in Singapore, Nanyang Primary School and Raffles Girls' Primary School, and this is a huge pull for many families. There are also reputable instituitions like Hwa Chong Instituition and the National University of Singapore that is just a short drive away.

The development's close proximity to business hubs such as One-North, Biopolis (renowned biomedical R&D hub), Fusionpolis (R&D for electronics and technology and the future media hub, Mediapolis, also means that there is a great opportunity for high rental yields and capital appreciation.

Conclusion

Executive Condominiums (ECs) were first introduced more than 10 years ago to cater to the needs of the "sandwiched class" of Singaporeans.

Singapore -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/08/2012 -- Executive Condominiums (ECs) were first introduced more than 10 years ago by the government to cater to the needs of the "sandwiched class" of Singaporeans who could not qualify for cheap new HDB flats but cannot afford to buy a private condo. ECs filled the gap by providing apartments with condo facilities but at 20-30% discount compared to nearby private properties.

However, the price benefit does come with some caveats. New units come with ownership and resale restrictions such as the household income for applicants must not exceed $12,000 per month and buyers must fulfil a Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) of 5 years. During the 6th to 10th year, units can be sold to Singaporeans or Permanent Residents (PRs) with no family nucleus requirements. After 10 years, ECs become fully privatised and all restrictions are lifted.

Nevertheless, ECs remain an affordable and attractive form of housing for genuine owner-occupied buyers since they are eligible for CPF grants and there is a strong potential for capital appreciation. While we mentioned earlier that there is a price discount of 20-30%, the difference tends to narrow as the EC gets fully privatised. Therefore, buyers can generally expect to be reaping profits in 10 years' time.

As our housing needs change, ECs have also evolved to cater to the different types of homebuyers. Traditional condominiums built in the nineties will usually consist of two, three and four bedroom units but nowadays, more buyers opting for dual-key units for investment purposes, or to live with their extended family while retaining some privacy. ECs such as The Topiary in Sengkang recognizes such demand and will be introducing three and four bedroom dual-key units which are expected to be highly popular. Waterbay and Heronbay are also the first two ECs in Singapore to offer five-bedroom units to tailor towards bigger families.

A recent report by The Straits Times ("More new ECs top $1m mark") notes that there have been more than 340 ECs sold at over $1 million each since the relaunch of this housing category in late 2010. This shows that there is an increasing number of young, affluent buyers snagging up bigger and more lavish penthouses. The average prices of all new ECs have also reached a historical high of $731psf in the third quarter but buyers seem unfazed and are seen snapping up units fast at the latest Waterbay launch.

With the improvement in innovation, design and facilities, one can now enjoy luxurious living at ECs without breaking the bank. It is no wonder ECs continue to stay as one of the hottest market segments in Singapore's property industry.
