Arcady Boon Keng City Fringe Urban Oasis
The Arcady at Boon Keng by KSH Holdings, SLB Development and H10 Holdings will emerge as a standout condominium in the heart of the Boon Keng neighborhood upon its completion in 2027.
The Arcady at Boon Keng, a freehold condominium comprising of 172 units, is set to become a landmark private residence in the bustling Boon Keng area when it is completed in 2027. Developed by trusted local developers KSH Holdings, SLB Development, and H10 Holdings in collaboration with award-winning architectural firm Park + Associates, this project will offer a dense green space along Serangoon Road and boast modern architecture that sets it apart from other condominiums in the neighbourhood.
Launched for sale in January, The Arcady at Boon Keng has already garnered interest from investors and local buyers alike. The one-bedroom plus study units and two-bedroom units, with their well-designed layouts, have particularly resonated with buyers. Families have also been drawn to the spacious units, perfect for creating a comfortable home, and the 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 city-fringe neighbourhood. It stands out among the few new freehold projects launching this year.
Nestled in the central region of Singapore, the Potong Pasir MRT Station is a popular mode of transportation for those looking to explore the eastern parts of the city. Conveniently situated along the North-East Line, this station serves as a gateway to various areas such as Clarke Quay, Chinatown, and Punggol. Whether for work or leisure, residents can easily access these destinations with the help of this well-connected line. Plus, with the competitive fares of The Orie Price, it’s now even more affordable to travel around the city using this efficient train station.
Creating an Urban Oasis
A deliberate effort by the developers and designers, The Arcady at Boon Keng has been envisioned as an urban oasis, a unique space of serene luxury in the bustling city-fringe neighbourhood. Crafted by 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, specially tailored for this project.
This multi-layered design enhances the greenery around the residential tower and combines three storeys’ worth of facilities into a two-floor communal area at the base of the tower, making it an efficient use of space. This efficient use of space can also be seen in other areas with abundant facilities, like the 14th floor and the rooftop terrace.
There is a dedicated kids’ zone with a Party Deck and Kids Club, perfect for parents to relax at the Chill Out Lounge while their children play at the Kids Playground or enjoy a weekend of family fun at the Family Deck beside the Splash Patio and Family Pool. Water facilities at the development include an infinity pool, spa pool, and family pool, all of which can be viewed from the second-floor Sky Terrace. Residents will also have easy access to the Sky Terrace, perfect for an indoor retreat.
On the 14th floor, residents can enjoy the Botanic Club’s alfresco dining experience while admiring the spectacular view. They can also grow fresh produce at the community garden on the rooftop, providing a convenient source of organic ingredients.
The Gourmet Vista on the 14th floor offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding skyline and is perfect for hosting guests with a private chef cooking up a storm. Residents can also enjoy various other facilities on the 14th floor, including the Arcady Club, which can comfortably accommodate guests.
A Perfect Location for Families
It is uncommon to find a single-tower condo in Singapore, especially in the Boon Keng neighbourhood, that provides outdoor and indoor facilities dedicated to residents’ diverse needs and lifestyles. With 47 condo facilities spanning 4,000 sqm, each of the 172 households at The Arcady at Boon Keng will find exciting activities.
The residential tower and unit orientation have been carefully considered, resulting in a north-south orientation 18m above the street level to maximize views. Moreover, units are tilted away from the main road, significantly reducing traffic noise. Units on higher floors will have optimum views of the Kallang River, while the south-facing units will face the direction of Marina Bay.
Family-Oriented Unit Layouts
The Arcady at Boon Keng’s unit layouts have been efficiently designed, with master bedrooms spacious enough to fit a king-sized bed and common bedrooms comfortably accommodating a queen-sized bed. The project has seen a steady demand for its larger units, including three-bedroom units ranging from 969 sqft to 1,281 sqft, and four-bedroom units of 1,410 sqft. There are also two penthouses of 2,433 sqft and 2,583 sqft.
Families with school-going children and couples will find that the development meets many criteria – a comfortably sized home within a conveniently located condo with a full suite of amenities all family members can enjoy. The condo is also surrounded by various prestigious schools, including Bendemeer Primary School, Bendemeer Secondary School, St Andrew’s Junior School, and Hong Wen School. Nearby 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 being about 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 links the North-East Line, North-South Line and Circle Line, is three stops from Boon Keng MRT Station, making it a popular location among homebuyers. “We observe that many home buyers these days prefer projects within walking distance to an MRT station; convenience is highly prized given today’s busy lifestyle,” adds Gafoor.
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 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.
An Affordable Freehold Option
Since its launch in January 2024, all one-bedroom plus study units have been taken, and close to 90% of the two-bedroom units have been sold. With an average selling price of about $2,570 psf, The Arcady at Boon Keng presents a compelling investment opportunity. Its freehold tenure and potential for greater capital appreciation compared to new 99-year leasehold projects make it a highly sought-after property.
“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.”
“The project’s prime location, combined with its freehold status and excellent facilities, make The Arcady at Boon Keng an attractive option for homebuyers and investors,” says Gafoor. “It also checks many boxes for homebuyers, being located in a well-established neighbourhood in the city fringe, with good connectivity and easy access to the PIE. Its freehold tenure also makes it an ideal option for legacy planning and wealth preservation.”
ERA CEO Marcus Chu says that with the scarcity of new home launches in the area, The Arcady at Boon Keng is expected to attract HDB upgraders. Its location will be further bolstered by nearly 1,400 upcoming MOP units from the Bidadari HDB estate.
