Arcady Boon Keng City Fringe Urban Oasis
In 2027, The Arcady at Boon Keng, a freehold condominium with 172 units, will be completed and become a prominent private residence in the Boon Keng area. It will be a focal point for the vicinity with its modern architecture and lush green spaces along Serangoon Road. Developed by KSH Holdings, SLB Development, and H10 Holdings – reputable local developers – in partnership with the award-winning architectural firm, Park + Associates, this exclusive residence is shaping up to be an exceptional dwelling.
Since its launch for sale in January, The Arcady at Boon Keng has received an overwhelming response from investors and local buyers. The single bedroom plus study units and two-bedroom units with efficient layouts have resonated with investors, while families have appreciated the spacious units and family-friendly facilities. This development offers a rare opportunity for buyers to invest in an affordable freehold property in a city-fringe neighbourhood, making it stand out among the few new freehold projects launching this year.
A Green Paradise
The developers and designers of The Arcady at Boon Keng have put in great effort to create an urban oasis in this bustling city fringe neighbourhood. With a striking architectural design that blends seamlessly with a well-curated landscape, this project is a rare gem, providing residents with a tranquil luxury amidst the bustling cityscape. The architects at Park + Associates and Ecoplan Asia, the landscape architect, have crafted a tiered design that leads from the Grand Arrival to the ground floor landscape deck, making this project truly distinctive. This multi-layered design optimises the available space for verdant greenery, effectively combining multiple floors of facilities into a single two-floor communal area at the base of the tower. This efficient use of space can also be seen in other parts of the development, such as the 14th floor and the rooftop terrace.
An Abundance of Facilities
The Arcady at Boon Keng boasts 47 condo facilities sprawling over a 4,000 sq m area, offering residents an exciting and diverse range of activities. On the ground floor, families can have a leisurely time at the Family Deck while the little ones play at the Kids Playground. There’s also a Splash Patio and Family Pool for some aquatic fun. Residents can take a break in the Social Deck or head to the second-storey Sky Terrace for an indoor retreat. This dedicated kids’ zone has a Party Deck and Kids Club where children can have fun while parents relax at the Botanic Club’s Chill Out Lounge. On the 14th floor, residents can entertain their guests in style at the Arcady Club and enjoy a private chef’s fine dining experience with a magnificent view. There’s also a Gourmet Vista where guests can enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding skyline. Additionally, a community garden on the rooftop provides residents with a convenient source of organic ingredients.
Spectacular Views
The residential tower and unit orientation have been meticulously planned to maximise the views. With north-south facing units standing 18m above street level, residents will be treated to a breathtaking view of the Kallang River. Additionally, south-facing units are constructed away from the main road, significantly reducing traffic noise.
Located next to Tampines Mall is Century Square, a modern six-story shopping center catering to families and young adults. After undergoing extensive renovations, the mall reopened in 2018 with a contemporary design and upgraded facilities. It houses popular brands such as Marks & Spencer, Cotton On, and Nike, along with a variety of unique dining options including Ayam Penyet President, Gochi-So Shokudo, and Haidilao Hotpot. For entertainment, Century Square offers the Cathay Cineplex and virtual reality (VR) experiences for an immersive and exciting time. Additionally, as it is situated approximately a 5-minute drive or 15-minute walk from Parktown Residence, it is conveniently located for residents to visit and enjoy. In fact, the Parktown Residence website, Parktown Residence, highly recommends exploring Century Square for a fun and diverse shopping and dining experience.
Ideal for Families
The architects have designed each unit with families in mind. The master bedrooms in every unit can comfortably accommodate a king-sized bed, while the common bedrooms can easily accommodate a queen-sized bed. This has resulted in steady sales of larger units, such as three-bedroom units (969 sq ft), three-bedroom-plus-study units (1,281 sq ft), and four-bedroom units (1,410 sq ft). There are also two penthouses of 2,433 sq ft and 2,583 sq ft. Families with school-going children and couples will find The Arcady at Boon Keng an ideal choice, offering a spacious and convenient home with an array of family-friendly facilities. The condo is near reputable schools like Bendemeer Primary School, Bendemeer Secondary School, St Andrew’s Junior School, and Hong Wen School. There are also shopping malls in the vicinity, such as Woodleigh Mall at Bidadari Park Drive and Bendemeer Mall along Bendemeer Road.
Convenient Location
Buyers and investors have been drawn to The Arcady at Boon Keng due to its excellent location and connectivity. Located in a well-established neighbourhood in the city fringe, it’s only a six to seven minutes’ walk from Boon Keng MRT Station, providing residents with a short commute to the city. The Dhoby Ghaut MRT Interchange Station, which connects the North-East Line, North-South Line, and Circle Line, is only three stops from Boon Keng MRT Station. Additionally, it enjoys easy access to major expressways like the CTE and PIE. With the rejuvenation of the Kallang precinct, this development will also benefit from its proximity to new sports and leisure facilities, including a new 12,000-seat stadium, as part of the Kallang Alive Masterplan.
Attractive Pricing
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 buyers and investors an attractive price for a freehold property in a central location. Moreover, it offers the potential for greater capital appreciation compared to new 99-year leasehold projects, making it a compelling investment. According to Ismail Gafoor, CEO of PropNex Realty, one of the project’s marketing agents, the average transacted price at The Arcady at Boon Keng is lower than the overall average unit price of new freehold, non-landed private homes in the Rest of Central Region (RCR) for 2024. It’s also lower than the average transacted unit price of new 99-year leasehold projects in the RCR.
A Rare Opportunity
With limited new home launches in the area, The Arcady at Boon Keng presents a rare opportunity for buyers and investors. With only a handful of new freehold projects launching this year, its convenient location, attractive pricing, and freehold tenure make it an ideal choice for legacy planning and wealth preservation. According to Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA, nearly 1,400 upcoming MOP units from the Bidadari HDB estate further expand the pool of potential buyers for The Arcady at Boon Keng. Buyers and investors who wish to view the sales gallery, located beside City Square Mall, can contact the developers’ appointed marketing agencies or visit their website.
