Gone is the decade when Punggol and Sengkang were considered too far flung or unpopulated sans amenities.
If the popularity of latest offering in Fernvale, High Park Residences and other completed private condominiums were anything to go by, more similar properties might spring up in the midst as district 19 continues in its expansion and development. Other private residential developments in the Sengkang area include H20 Residences, Riverbank@Fernvale and Rivertrees Residences. More young couples and extended families are moving into the district and with the average selling price holding steady at $1,060 psf, the private properties here are a more affordable for those crossing over from public housing.
3 new land banks will be put up for tender by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) in the upcoming months, and there may be strong bids coming from developers and consumers may very well have more than sufficient options to choose from soon. One of the sites most likely to gain interest will be the 99-year leasehold residential site on Fernvale road with a site area of 17,196 sq m. The nearby 1,390-unit High Park Residences with a median selling price of $989 psf has already sold almost all of its units within a year of its launch in July 2015.
The proximity of this site to amenities such as Seletar Mall and the stretch of eateries along Jalan Kayu, the Thanggam LRT station and Tampines Expressway (TPE) and schools will no doubt urge developers to seriously consider its potential.
