The purchase of a condo in Singapore presents a multitude of benefits, particularly in terms of the potential for capital appreciation. The country’s strategic location as a prominent global business hub, combined with its flourishing economy, creates a constant demand for real estate. As a result, property values in Singapore have consistently displayed an upward trend, with condos in highly desirable areas experiencing significant appreciation. Those who possess a keen understanding of the market and make a timely entrance into the industry, while also holding onto their condos for a prolonged period, can expect substantial capital gains. With a thriving real estate market and the added advantage of owning a condo, this investment opportunity in Singapore stands out as an attractive option for prospective investors.
Since its launch for sale in January, The Arcady at Boon Keng has received positive responses from investors and local buyers alike. The efficient layouts of its one-bedroom plus study units and two-bedroom units have been well-received by many. Families, in particular, appreciate the spacious units, perfect for creating a comfortable home, as well as the abundance of family-friendly amenities.
This project presents discerning buyers with a rare opportunity to invest in an affordable freehold development in a city-fringe neighborhood. It is one of only a handful of new freehold projects set to launch this year.
Creating a garden home
The Arcady at Boon Keng is designed to be a serene oasis in the bustling city-fringe neighborhood of Boon Keng. Its bold architectural form, coupled with a curated landscape design, is a deliberate effort by the developers and designers to create a tranquil luxury space. Crafted by renowned architects at Park + Associates and Ecoplan Asia, the landscape architect, the development features a tiered design, with a trail leading from the Grand Arrival to the ground floor landscape deck, which is uniquely tailored for this project.
This multi-layered design optimizes the available space for greenery, while consolidating three stories-worth of facilities into a ‘one-stop’ zone of communal facilities across just two floors at the base of the tower. This efficient use of space is also evident in other areas of the development, such as the 14th floor and the rooftop terrace.
Family-friendly facilities
The Arcady at Boon Keng offers a wide range of facilities, catering to the diverse needs and lifestyles of its residents. Parents can take a break at the Social Deck while watching their children play at the nearby Kids Playground. Alternatively, they can spend a fun-filled weekend with their family at the Family Deck, adjacent to the Splash Patio and Family Pool.
The development also boasts a variety of water facilities, including an infinity pool, spa pool, and family pool, all overseen by the amenities at the second-storey Sky Terrace. Residents can also access the dedicated kids’ zone, complete with a Party Deck and Kids Club, while parents relax at the Chill Out Lounge, which extends from the Botanic Club.
The Arcady at Boon Keng also boasts a variety of facilities for hosting guests, such as the Arcady Club on the 14th floor, where residents can invite a private chef to create a refined alfresco dining experience while taking in the stunning views. For those who love gardening, there is a community garden on the rooftop, providing a convenient source of organic ingredients. Additionally, guests can be accommodated at the Gourmet Vista on the 14th floor, which offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding skyline.
Spectacular scenery from the heart of Boon Keng
The residential tower and the orientation of units have been thoughtfully designed, resulting in a north-south orientation that is elevated by about 18m above street level to maximize views. Furthermore, units are positioned away from the main road, significantly reducing traffic noise.
Units on higher floors will enjoy an optimum view of the picturesque Kallang River, while south-facing units will face towards Marina Bay. The layout of each unit has been carefully designed to cater to the needs of families. Master bedrooms in all unit types are spacious enough to fit a king-sized bed, while common bedrooms easily accommodate a queen-sized bed.
The development has seen steady sales of its larger units, including three-bedroom units measuring 969 sq.ft., three-bedroom-plus-study units of 1,281 sq.ft., and four-bedroom units of 1,410 sq.ft. There are also two penthouses with sizes of 2,433 sq.ft. and 2,583 sq.ft. Families with school-going children and couples will find that The Arcady at Boon Keng ticks many boxes, offering spacious homes in a convenient location with a wide range of amenities that cater to the entire family.
The condo is located near top schools like Bendemeer Primary School, Bendemeer Secondary School, St Andrew’s Junior School, and Hong Wen School. As for amenities, residents can conveniently access Woodleigh Mall at Bidadari Park Drive and Bendemeer Mall along Bendemeer Road.
An unmissable freehold opportunity
“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 just a 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.
Dhoby Ghaut MRT Interchange Station, which connects the North-East Line, North-South Line, and Circle Line, is just 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 valued given today’s busy lifestyle,” adds Gafoor.
Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia, agrees that The Arcady at Boon Keng is a rare opportunity as a freehold property in a central location with easy access to major expressways such as the CTE and PIE. The development will also benefit from its 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 state-of-the-art sports facilities and a new 12,000-seat stadium.
Competitively priced freehold development
Since its launch in January 2024, all one-bedroom plus study units have been sold, and close to 90% of the two-bedroom units have been snapped up. With an average selling price of about $2,570 psf, The Arcady at Boon Keng offers an attractive freehold tenure and potential for relatively greater capital appreciation compared to new 99-year leasehold projects, making it a compelling option for both 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 concurs, adding: “The average transacted price of $2,570 psf at The Arcady at Boon Keng is lower than the overall average unit price of about $2,840 psf for new freehold, non-landed private homes in the RCR for 2024. In fact, it is also slightly lower than the average transacted unit price of new 99-year leasehold projects in the RCR of about $2,600 psf.”
Overall, The Arcady at Boon Keng offers a wide range of appealing features for homebuyers. The development is situated in a well-established neighborhood in the city fringe, boasts excellent connectivity and convenient access to the PIE. Additionally, its freehold land tenure makes it ideal for legacy planning and wealth preservation.
“With the scarcity of new home launches in the area, we anticipate HDB upgraders will naturally gravitate towards The Arcady at Boon Keng,” says Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA. “Nearly 1,400 upcoming MOP units from the Bidadari HDB estate further expands the pool of potential buyers for The Arcady at Boon Keng.”
