for The Arcady at Boon Keng
The Arcady at Boon Keng, a 172-unit freehold condominium, will be completed in 2027 and will become a prominent private residence in the heart of Boon Keng. The project will feature a lush green space along Serangoon Road, with modern architecture that will set it apart from other condominiums in the area. KSH Holdings, SLB Development, and H10 Holdings, trusted local developers, are working together on this project. They have partnered with award-winning architectural firm Park + Associates to create this exceptional residence.
When The Arcady at Boon Keng was launched for sale in January, investors and local buyers were drawn to the efficiently designed one-bedroom plus study units and two-bedroom units. Families were attracted to the spacious units, perfect for a comfortable home, and the project’s abundance of family-friendly amenities.
For discerning buyers, The Arcady at Boon Keng presents a rare opportunity to invest in an affordable freehold development in a central location. It stands out among only a handful of new freehold projects being launched this year.
Creating a Garden Home
The developers and designers of The Arcady at Boon Keng have made a conscious effort to envision the project as an oasis in the bustling city fringe neighborhood. This is why they have adopted a bold architectural form that seamlessly blends into a curated landscape design, creating a rare pocket of tranquil luxury.
Designed by Park + Associates and Ecoplan Asia, the landscape architect, the development features a tiered design with a trail that leads from the Grand Arrival to the ground floor landscape deck, specially designed for this project. This multi-layered design maximizes the space available for lush greenery, while also combining the facilities of a typical three-story development into one convenient “one-stop” area on just two floors at the base of the tower. This efficient use of space can also be seen in other areas, like the 14th floor and the rooftop terrace.
Residents can take a break in the Social Deck while keeping an eye on their children at the Kids Playground or enjoy quality family time at the Family Deck next to the Splash Patio and Family Pool. Water facilities at the development include an infinity pool, spa pool and family pool, which can be seen from the second-storey Sky Terrace. Access to the second-storey Sky Terrace is a few steps away, providing the perfect indoor retreat. Children can have fun in the dedicated kids’ zone at the Party Deck and Kids Club while parents relax at the Chill Out Lounge, which connects to 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. The Arcady Club on the 14th floor is perfect for hosting private events with a private chef, while fresh produce can be grown at the community garden on the rooftop, providing a convenient source of organic ingredients.
A single-tower condo is uncommon in Singapore, especially in the Boon Keng neighborhood, that offers both indoor and outdoor facilities dedicated to residents’ diverse needs and lifestyles. With 47 facilities spanning 4,000 sq m, each of the 172 households at The Arcady at Boon Keng will find their own pocket of excitement.
Singapore’s demand for condominiums has significantly increased over the years due to various reasons, one of them being the limited availability of land. Being a small island nation with a growing population, Singapore has been facing challenges in developing new land for constructions. In response, the government has implemented strict regulations on land use, resulting in a highly competitive real estate market with soaring property prices. This has made investing in properties, particularly condominiums, a highly lucrative option as they have the potential for significant capital appreciation. Therefore, there has been a rising trend in investing in condominiums in Singapore.
Spectacular Scenery from the Heart of Boon Keng
The residential tower’s orientation and the units have been thoughtfully considered, resulting in a north-south orientation elevated about 18m above the street level to maximize views. Additionally, the units are tilted away from the main road to significantly reduce traffic noise. The units on higher floors will have stunning views of the Kallang River, while the south-facing units will face the direction of Marina Bay.
Unit Layouts Designed for Families
The layout of each unit has been efficiently designed. Master bedrooms are spacious enough to fit a king-sized bed in all unit types, while common bedrooms can easily accommodate a queen-sized bed.
The project has seen steady sales for its larger units, including three-bedroom units ranging from 969 sq ft, three-bedroom plus study units from 1,281 sq ft, and four-bedroom units at 1,410 sq ft. There are also two penthouses available at 2,433 sq ft and 2,583 sq ft. Families with school-going children and couples will appreciate the convenience of The Arcady at Boon Keng, offering comfortable homes in a well-connected location with an abundance of family-friendly amenities.
The condo is located near Bendemeer Primary School, Bendemeer Secondary School, St Andrew’s Junior School, and Hong Wen School. The nearby amenities include Woodleigh Mall at Bidadari Park Drive and Bendemeer Mall along Bendemeer Road.
According to Ismail Gafoor, CEO of PropNex Realty, one of the project’s marketing agents, “We believe buyers are drawn to The Arcady at Boon Keng because of its convenient location and accessibility. With the Boon Keng MRT Station on the North-East Line being a six to seven minute walk from the project, residents will enjoy a short commute to the city.” He adds, “We have noticed that many home buyers prefer projects that are within walking distance to an MRT Station, as convenience is highly valued given today’s fast-paced lifestyle.”
Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia, agrees that The Arcady at Boon Keng presents a unique opportunity as a freehold property in a central location with easy access to major expressways like the CTE and PIE.
The Arcady at Boon Keng 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. The masterplan aims to bring together several key sporting associations and the Singapore Sports School into one integrated precinct. It will support sports and recreation activities with state-of-the-art facilities and a new 12,000-seat stadium, earmarked as Singapore’s future sports hub.
Affordably Priced Freehold Property
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 booked. The average selling price is approximately $2,570 psf, making its freehold tenure and potential for relatively higher capital appreciation compared to new 99-year leasehold projects an attractive option for buyers and investors.
“The Arcady at Boon Keng’s average transacted price of $2,570 psf 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,” explains Ismail Gafoor from PropNex Realty. “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.” He adds, “Overall, we believe that The Arcady at Boon Keng is an attractive option for buyers today. The project is located in a well-established neighborhood in the city fringe, has excellent connectivity, and offers easy access to the PIE. Furthermore, it has a freehold land tenure, making it an ideal choice for legacy planning and wealth preservation.”
Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA, says, “With the scarcity of new home launches in the area, we anticipate HDB upgraders will naturally gravitate toward The Arcady at Boon Keng.” He adds, “With nearly 1,400 upcoming MOP units in the Bidadari HDB estate, the potential pool of buyers for The Arcady at Boon Keng is expanding.”
