hundred palms residences

Hundred Palms Residences Executive Condominium (EC) is a new launch residential development by Hoi Hup Realty Pte Ltd. The 1.8 hectare site is found along Yio Chu Kang Road, next to Bowen Secondary School. The acreage was highly challenged among developers, attracting 10 bids as well as a top bid of $183.8 million, or $331.02 per square foot per plot ratio. The closest stations is merely a brief drive or bus ride away while the Yio Chu Kang EC is not being near to any MRT stations.

Strong Interest shown in YCK EC

Hundred Palms Residences is anticipated to demonstrate a strong level of interest in sales. Nestled in a matured HDB estate, a wide array of amenities like shopping mall, schools and recreational facilities surrounds the Hougang EC. Future homes could be served. Hougang 1 mall, which is previously called Hougang Point, has a host of new and recognizable F&B, retail, health and beauty, and enrichment choices housed under the brand new bright and spacious interior, Hougang 1 remains the pulse of the neighbourhood where families and friends can shop, dine and relax.

Good variety amenities around Hundred Palms

For more shopping and dining choices, NEX Shopping Mall and Hougang Mall are both within 10 minutes ride away. Hundred Palms Residences EC is also a rock’s throw away from Rosyth School which introduced an appealing alternative for young couples who are looking to enrol their children in the school and runs the Gifted Education Programme.

No ECs are released in the Hougang/Yio Chu Kang region for a long while, with The Topiary being the most recent in late 2012. Hundred Palms Dwellings EC will most likely be established in July 2017, one of the only two executive condominiums anticipated to be launched in 2017. ECs are a public-private hybrid home form with first buyer qualification and resale states which are totally revoked 10 years after an EC project was completed. The income ceiling for EC buyers is $14,000, corrected in August 2015.

Westwood Residences Showflat Visit Today

Westwood Residences Showflat Visit Today

Our team visit the Westwood Residences showflat today and found that the location was nestled among the private estates which is rare for a executive condominiums (EC). Normally the EC will be built around the HDB areas. However only Sea horizon and Westwood Residences seem to be the one that are “hidden” inside the private neighbourhood. A little drawback about this Westwood Residences is that it is no way near the MRT stations, hence be prepare to have your own transport if you are keen in this development.

Westwood Residences residents can enjoy the bicycle theme that KBD Westwood Pte. Ltd. [Koh Brothers is the developer] have packaged it to “compensate” the inaccessibility location perhaps.

The transactions for Westwood Residences have been increasing probably showing that people is bullish on Jurong development. Many good news surround Jurong like the Railway, Jurong Innovation District, 2nd largest CBD in Singapore.

Westwood Residences is Singapore’s first bike-themed home, but that only tells half of the narrative. The 2, 3 and 4 bed units also come in superior variants which supply extra square footage along with added washing and toilet facilities and master bedroom balconies.

Building is underway and of improvement, and the end date will probably be forward of the projected finish date of August 2018.

The bike subject was taken throughout the entire development, and it definitely makes for an unique, dynamic development. The miniature velodrome (30m x 15m) is the star of the show, but it’sn’t the only draw this has to offer. The development features a child’s traffic garden, allowing children to get to grasp with cycling on a road environment that is safe. There’s additionally a covered bike care place, a kids’s BMX adventure park, and there’s a risk-free bike garage when you’ve had enough cycling for one day.

Executive condo is generally a “subsidised” property developed by the government, and the price is usually around 20 to 25% cheaper than the private condo hence the margin of  safety of getting an EC is well worth it. The only tradeoff is to there is MOP of 5 years for owners to sell to the resale market. And another 5 years to be able to sell to foreigners (all in total is 10 years). For pure staying purposes, an EC will make a wise choice else the opportunities cost will need to consider.

To summarise about Westwood Residences EC
Westwood Residences is a stylish EC development in a very up and coming place of the isle. Over the coming years, there will be substantial development in the region, bringing in a lot of middle to high level occupations, and the infrastructure, shopping and dining which is included with it. The lakeside development really will be a fantastic destination for everyone from couples to families.

There are plenty of well-respected education facilities from primary upwards, including River Valley High School and Nanyang Technological University. Though the area is somewhat distanced from the city centre, transport links are great, so you are never more than an hour from the CBD, half that in off peak times, and on the MRT.

The entire place has a relaxed, community feeling about it that is missing from the Bay Area.

Today we will be featuring the new property launching soon in Paya Lebar, that is the Park Place Residences by Lend Lease which is main brain behind JEM, shopping center at Jurong East. JEM is considered a well-done project by JEM as the tenant mix is very cohesive, with giant brand like Robinson that surely draws a good shopping crowd.

paya-lebar-park-place-residencesGoing back at Park Place Residences, it will be a 99 years leasehold mixed development that is located at the junction between Paya Lebar Road & Sims Avenue. Paya Lebar is an area where there are huge traffic for offices, industrial and residential purposes, and thus the tenant pool will be sufficient to meet supply for residential. On the side note, the commercial site of this plot will be called Paya Lebar Quarter while the residential will be called Park Place Residences, so don’t get yourself confused.

One thing to take note on this project is that, it will not be a cheap project since it is by prestigious developers by Lend Lease and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. But it will be a “Blue Chip Stock” for sure.

LOCATION & CONNECTIVITY

  • 10 minutes to the Central Business District and 15 minutes to Changi Airport by car.
  • Direct access to the Paya Lebar MRT interchange which connects the Circle Line and the East West Line , providing direct access to over 60 MRT stations.
  • Immediate accessibility to 6 bus stops around the project with over 20 bus routes.
  • Linked to the Pan Island Expressway, the East Coast Parkway and the Nicoll Highway.
  • Walking distance to rich ethnic communities of Joo Chiat, and Katong.

On 2nd thought, if going for commercial purposes, there might be more choices around the area since Paya Lebar is the hub for commercial activities. Good projects like Oxley Bizhub 1 and 2 can be a good selection and price has softened relatively for the past years.

Several prestigious schools are also within reach from this property that is majestic. The list comprise

  • Kong Hwa School,
  • Macpherson Secondary School,

The boss was rather friendly as we are a group, he foresee that we will be in a mess since this is our first time taking the professional photos at his photography studio. So he told us that to touch up our “face” before reaching the studio so that time can be shorten. Anyway we did what he said.

Upon reaching the studio, the boss by the name of Trevor did a brief introduction of their packages and we went ahead with the shoot. The whole process was guided and easily done up within 30mins.

After the photo shoot, we went to the nearby coffee shop before collecting the photos. The whole photography process was easy and thumbs up to Instant Glamour.
