When purchasing a condominium, it is crucial to take into account the maintenance and management of the property. Condos often come with maintenance fees that cover the maintenance of shared areas and amenities. Although these fees may increase the overall cost of ownership, they play a vital role in keeping the property well-maintained and preserving its value. To make investing in condos a more hands-off experience, investors can enlist the services of a property management company. Additionally, considering the latest New Condo Launches can provide even more opportunities for a profitable investment. This way, investors can rely on professionals to handle the day-to-day management of their condos while ensuring a more passive investment experience.
location: CopyUpon its completion in 2027, The Arcady at Boon Keng, a 172-unit freehold condominium, will stand as a unique and highly coveted private residence in the heart of the Boon Keng area. Situated along Serangoon Road, the development will create a lush green space in the midst of the bustling city, showcasing distinctive modern architecture that will set it apart from other condominiums in the neighbourhood.The trusted local developers KSH Holdings, SLB Development and H10 Holdings have joined forces to create this remarkable residence. They have partnered with award-winning architectural firm, Park + Associates, to bring their vision for this distinguished development to life.When the project was launched for sale in January, it immediately caught the attention of investors and local buyers. The efficiently-designed layouts of the one-bedroom plus study units and two-bedroom units appealed to many, while families were drawn to the spacious units and the wide range of family-friendly amenities offered.The Arcady at Boon Keng presents a rare opportunity for discerning buyers to invest in an affordable freehold development in a prime city-fringe location. It stands out among only a handful of new freehold projects launching this year.Creating an urban oasisThe Arcady at Boon Keng has been thoughtfully designed to be an urban oasis, blending bold architectural forms with curated landscape design. This deliberate effort by the developers and the designers of the development has resulted in a rare pocket of tranquil luxury within the bustling city fringe.Crafted by the esteemed architects at Park + Associates and Ecoplan Asia, the landscape architect, the development showcases a tiered design, with a trail leading from the Grand Arrival to the ground floor landscape deck. This unique design maximises the space available for verdant greenery, while combining three storeys worth of facilities into a two-storey communal amenities zone at the base of the tower. This efficient use of space can also be seen in other areas of the development, such as the 14th floor and the rooftop terrace.Parents with young children can enjoy a moment of peace on the Social Deck while their little ones play at the Kids Playground, or spend quality time together at the Family Deck next to the Splash Patio and Family Pool. The development also boasts an infinity pool, spa pool and family pool, which can be admired from the facilities at the second-storey Sky Terrace. The second-storey Sky Terrace is perfect for indoor relaxation, and features a dedicated kids’ zone with a Party Deck and Kids Club, as well as a Chill Out Lounge that spills out into the Botanic Club.Guests can also be accommodated at the Gourmet Vista on the 14th floor, where they can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding skyline. (Picture: KSH Holdings)The Arcady at Boon Keng is among only a few single-tower condo projects in Singapore, especially in the Boon Keng neighbourhood, that offers both outdoor and indoor facilities catering to residents’ diverse needs and lifestyles. With 47 condo facilities spanning 4,000 sq m, each of the 172 households at The Arcady at Boon Keng will find its pocket of excitement.Spectacular views in the heart of Boon KengThe residential tower and the orientation of units have been carefully considered, resulting in a north-south orientation, which is elevated by approximately 18m above street level to maximise views. Additionally, units are tilted away from the main road, significantly reducing traffic noise. Units on higher floors boast optimum views of the Kallang River, while the south-facing units face towards Marina Bay.The unit layouts have been thoughtfully designed for families. All master bedrooms are large enough to accommodate a king-sized bed, while the common bedrooms can comfortably fit a queen-sized bed. The development has seen strong sales of its larger units, which range from three-bedroom units of 969 sq ft, three-bedroom-plus-study units of 1,281 sq ft, to four-bedroom units of 1,410 sq ft. There are also two penthouses, spanning 2,433 sq ft and 2,583 sq ft, respectively. Families with school-going children and couples will find that the development checks many boxes — a comfortably sized home within a conveniently located condo that offers a full suite of amenities that all family members can enjoy.The condo is near Bendemeer Primary School, Bendemeer Secondary School, St Andrew’s Junior School, and Hong Wen School. For daily needs, residents can visit Woodleigh Mall at Bidadari Park Drive or Bendemeer Mall along Bendemeer Road.“We think buyers are likely drawn to The Arcady at Boon Keng owing to its convenient location and connectivity. With the Boon Keng MRT Station on the North-East Line being approximately six to seven minutes’ walk from the project, residents will enjoy a relatively short commute to the city,” says Ismail Gafoor, CEO of PropNex Realty, one of the project’s marketing agents. The Dhoby Ghaut MRT Interchange Station, which links the North-East Line, North-South Line, and Circle Line, is only three stops from Boon Keng MRT Station. “We observe that many home buyers these days prefer projects within walking distance to an MRT station; convenience is highly desired in today’s fast-paced lifestyle,” adds Gafoor.Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia, agrees that The Arcady at Boon Keng presents a rare opportunity as a freehold property in a central location with easy access to major expressways like the CTE and PIE. Residents will also benefit from the development’s proximity to the rejuvenated Kallang precinct, which will see new sports and leisure facilities developed as part of the Kallang Alive Masterplan, announced during Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s inaugural National Day Rally this year.Earmarked as Singapore’s future sports hub, the masterplan aims to bring together several key sporting associations and the Singapore Sports School into one integrated precinct. Sports and recreation activities will be supported by planned state-of-the-art sports facilities and a new 12,000-seat stadium.An attractive freehold offeringSince the project launched in January 2024, all one-bedroom plus study units have been sold, and nearly 90% of the two-bedroom units have been snapped up. With an average selling price of approximately $2,570 psf, its freehold tenure and potential for relatively greater capital appreciation compared to new 99-year leasehold projects make The Arcady at Boon Keng a compelling choice for buyers and investors.“The Arcady at Boon Keng is attractively priced relative to its location near the city and the MRT station,” says Hutton’s Yip. PropNex’s Gafoor also agrees, adding: “The average transacted price of $2,570 psf at The Arcady at Boon Keng is lower than the overall average unit price of approximately $2,840 psf for new freehold, non-landed private homes in the RCR in 2024. In fact, it is also slightly lower than the average transacted unit price of new 99-year leasehold projects in the RCR of approximately $2,600 psf.” Overall, we believe The Arcady at Boon Keng ticks many boxes for home buyers today,” says Gafoor. “The project is located in a well-established neighbourhood in the city fringe, has good connectivity, and easy access to the PIE. Another significant advantage is that it has a freehold land tenure, making it an ideal option for legacy planning and wealth preservation.”“With the scarcity of new home launches in the area, we anticipate HDB upgraders will naturally gravitate toward The Arcady at Boon Keng,” says Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA. “Indeed, there are nearly 1,400 upcoming MOP units from the Bidadari HDB estate, which further increases the pool of potential buyers for The Arcady at Boon Keng.”Potential buyers can view the sales gallery, which is located beside City Square Mall, by contacting the developers’ appointed marketing agencies below or by visiting their website.
