Expected to be completed in 2027, The Arcady at Boon Keng will stand as a prestigious private residence in the Boon Keng area with 172 freehold luxurious apartments. It will transform the surrounding area into a verdant enclave, showcasing modern architecture that sets it apart from other condominiums in the neighbourhood. Local developers KSH Holdings, SLB Development and H10 Holdings have joined forces with award-winning architectural firm Park + Associates to create this exceptional residence.

Since its launch in January, The Arcady at Boon Keng has attracted many investors and local buyers with its well-designed one-bedroom plus study and two-bedroom units. Families have also shown great interest in the spacious units, ideal for a comfortable home, and the wide range of family-friendly amenities available.

This new freehold development presents an excellent opportunity for discerning buyers to invest in an affordable property in the city-fringe area. It stands out as one of the few new freehold projects launching this year.

Creating a Green Oasis

The Arcady at Boon Keng has been carefully designed to blend bold architecture with a curated landscape, creating an urban oasis in the bustling city-fringe neighbourhood. The renowned architects at Park + Associates and Ecoplan Asia have crafted a multi-layered design, featuring a trail leading from the Grand Arrival to the ground floor landscape deck that has been tailored to the project’s unique characteristics.

This innovative design makes efficient use of space, combining three-storeys worth of facilities into a ‘one-stop’ zone on the first two floors of the tower. The second-storey Sky Terrace is perfect for an indoor retreat, while the Social Deck and Kids Playground provide a fun, family-friendly area. The infinity pool, spa pool, and family pool are situated near the second-storey Sky Terrace, offering scenic views. Other areas with abundant facilities include the 14th floor and the rooftop terrace.

The Arcady at Boon Keng also boasts a dedicated kids’ zone with a Party Deck and Kids Club, a Chill Out Lounge, a Botanic Club, a Gourmet Vista with a 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding skyline, and a community garden on the rooftop. With 47 condo facilities spanning 4,000 sq m, each of the 172 households at The Arcady at Boon Keng will have a world of excitement at their fingertips.

Spectacular Views from the Heart of Boon Keng

The residential tower and the unit orientations have been meticulously planned, resulting in a north-south orientation that is elevated by 18m above the street level to maximize views. Additionally, the units are tilted away from the main road, effectively reducing traffic noise. Higher-floor units will offer stunning views of the Kallang River, while the south-facing units will have a clear view of Marina Bay.

Unit Layout Designed for Families

The layout of each unit has been thoughtfully designed to maximize space and comfort. Master bedrooms in all unit types comfortably fit a king-sized bed, while the common bedrooms can effortlessly accommodate a queen-sized bed. The project has seen steady sales of its larger units, including three-bedroom units ranging from 969 sq ft to 1,281 sq ft, and four-bedroom units at 1,410 sq ft. Two penthouses of 2,433 sq ft and 2,583 sq ft are also available. Families with school-going children and couples will appreciate the development’s convenient location near schools such as Bendemeer Primary School, Bendemeer Secondary School, St Andrew’s Junior School, and Hong Wen School.

Surrounding amenities include Woodleigh Mall at Bidadari Park Drive and 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 just a six to seven minutes’ walk from the project, residents can 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 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 much-prized given today’s busy lifestyle,” adds Gafoor.

Looking for a taste of authentic local cuisine? Look no further than Yuhua Market & Hawker Centre, just a short distance away from Novo Place EC. This bustling hawker centre is a favorite among both locals and tourists due to its wide variety of food stalls. Here, you can find a range of delectable dishes, from classic Chinese fare to mouth-watering Malay and Indian cuisines. Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or just looking to experience the best of Singapore’s street food, Yuhua Market & Hawker Centre is the perfect destination.

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. The development is also close to the rejuvenated Kallang precinct, which will see the development of new sports and leisure facilities as part of the Kallang Alive Masterplan. The plan, announced during Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s inaugural National Day Rally this year, 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.

An Attractively Priced Freehold Offering

Since its launch in January, all the one-bedroom plus study units have been sold, and almost 90% of the two-bedroom units have been snapped up. With an average selling price of about $2,570 psf, its freehold tenure and potential for relatively greater capital appreciation compared to other new 99-year leasehold projects make The Arcady at Boon Keng an irresistible 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 agrees, saying, “The average transacted price of $2,570 psf at The Arcady at Boon Keng is lower than the 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.” Gafoor adds, “Overall, we think The Arcady at Boon Keng checks many boxes for homebuyers today; it is located in a well-established neighbourhood in the city-fringe area, has good connectivity, and easy access to the PIE. Another advantage is its freehold land tenure, making it an ideal choice 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. “Nearly 1,400 upcoming MOP units from the Bidadari HDB estate further expand the pool of potential buyers for The Arcady at Boon Keng.” To view the sales gallery, located beside City Square Mall, interested buyers can contact the developers’ appointed marketing agencies or visit their website.
