Experience landed living beyond convention

Embrace the lifestyle you have always wanted with these properties from Bukit Sembawang Estates Limited

By Esther Teo

For over half a century, leading developer Bukit Sembawang Estates Limited (BSEL) has built over 2,500 residential homes in Seletar Hills, over 1,000 homes in Sembawang Hills and more in other locations.

As one of Singapore’s pioneers in residential property development, Bukit Sembawang Estates Limited has established a reputation as a trusted developer of fine quality homes with great value.

One of the best investments you can potentially make in Singapore is landed property. There are two simple reasons for this: land here is scarce, and the supply of landed homes remains low.

The developer currently has a portfolio of premium, exclusive landed developments on the market.

Here are two top options in Sembawang and Ang Mo Kio to consider — whether you want a home upgrade or are part of a multi-generational family that values space and size.

Waterfront living

Watercove in Sembawang is a freehold gem for generations to call home

Imagine having the sun, sand and sea at your doorstep, where your children can run freely, and your family can enjoy strolls or picnics.

This lifestyle could be yours at Watercove, a collection of 80 freehold luxury strata homes comprising 76 terrace and four semi-detached houses designed in the style of colonial black-and-white bungalows.

A rare gem situated right by the sea along Wak Hassan Drive, it offers spectacular waterfront views. It is no wonder that Watercove was one of the top-selling strata landed housing developments last year.

Buyers will be able to collect their keys by the second quarter of next year. Ms Margaret Thean, executive director and head (Residential) at Edmund Tie &Company, says: “It is very rare to find a property like Watercove, especially one that is by the sea.”

A stone’s throw away is the lush Sembawang Park, while attractions such as Mandai’s upcoming five wildlife parks promise even more leisure options for the whole family. Within the development, you will find a clubhouse with a spa, gym, onsen and reflexology pool, as well as space for family bonding and entertaining.

Choose from the following 54 intermediate terrace units measuring 3,348 to 3,552 sq ft; 22 corner terrace units from 3,337 to 3,638 sq ft; and four semi-detached units spanning 3,434 to 3,843 sq ft.

Each comes with luxury lifestyle fittings by brands such as Hansgrohe and Miele, as well as marble flooring, designer cabinets and a private lift.

Those who drive can enjoy good transport accessibility via the Seletar Expressway, Central Expressway and Tampines Expressway.The new Canberra MRT station and Thomson-East Coast Line will allow for quicker commutes when they open. The upcoming North-South Corridor, which will be ready in 2020, will also provide a direct connection to the city, with schools, shopping malls and recreational options minutes away by car.

Spacious city living

Nim Collection presents well-located homes with stunning designs

For a next-generation landed property that truly breaks conventions, look no further than Nim Collection.

The development is one of the first to explore new landed housing guidelines introduced by the Urban Redevelopment Authority that allow for greater flexibility with design and the configuration of interior space, as enjoyed by award-winning firm W-Architects.

It designed an ingenious, eye-catching three-dimensional, tiered façade of varying elevations — a unique blend of spatial heights, volumes and angular geometry, combined with thoughtful layouts.

Other meticulous design touches include multi-level gardens and the clever use of natural light and air. The property is set to appeal to home owners who value innovation, outstanding design and a luxurious lifestyle.

According to a CBRE spokesperson: “Landed terrace homes are limited in supply, so developments such as the first edition of Nim Collection are a very highly prized investment.

“Bukit Sembawang Estates has chosen an opportune time to put the houses on the market, when sentiments around Singapore’s residential market have improved significantly.”

The development comprises 47 houses — including 45 terraced units and two semi-detached homes. Each house has three levels with a mezzanine, attic and lift.

The units boast a generous amount of living space — more than ideal for multi-generation living. The terrace houses measure 1,615 sq ft to 3,079 sq ft, while the semi-detached houses are significantly more spacious at about 3,014 sq ft to 3,358 sq ft each. The built-up area ranges from a sizeable 4,252 sq ft to 5,425 sq ft.

Well-appointed interiors and quality finishes aside, each unit is fitted with home appliances and equipment from high-end names such as Brandt, Duravit and Grohe.

Located at Nim Road off Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5, the development offers excellent connectivity to the city via the Central Expressway.

Apart from its comprehensive amenities, the development is also within easy reach of shopping malls and good schools.

60 per cent of the units in the development’s Phase 1 launch in March have already been sold. Due to the overwhelming response, Phase 2 will be open for sale soon.
