23 May 2013 – City Developments Limited (CDL) has unveiled its latest residential project – Jewel @ Buangkok to potential buyers. The show suites were open for viewing since last weekend and the project is targeted for launch next week.
The 616-unit development is located just 3-minutes’ walk to Buangkok MRT station and is surrounded by a plethora of amenities which offer unparalleled convenience.
Jewel @ Buangkok will feature six 15 to 17-storey towers that house a selection of one to five-bedroom apartments, dual-key units as well as plush penthouses. Unit sizes start from 463 square feet (sq ft) for a 1 bedroom unit, to 1,701 sq ft for a 5 bedroom type. Penthouses will range from 2,067 sq ft to 2,540 sq ft.
CDL plans to market this project at an average selling price of S$1,250 per square foot (psf). It will be offering a special 7% early bird discount, which works out to be about S$1,150 psf on average.
Mr Chia Ngiang Hong, CDL Group General Manager said, “Jewel @ Buangkok is priced attractively especially for a development located just 3 minutes’ to the MRT station. Today, properties that are situated close to existing or upcoming rail networks are highly sought after and command premium prices. In recent months, new launches nearby MRT stations have been priced from an average of S$1,400 psf onwards and have been well received.”
Developers have been hotly contesting for prime sites near MRT stations as witnessed in recent land tenders. With the higher land acquisition costs, these upcoming projects will correspondingly need to be launched at a higher price.
The proximity to an MRT station is one of the key attributes that have drawn potential buyers to Jewel @ Buangkok.
“Buangkok is an integral piece of the Government’s ‘Punggol 21’ vision and is an extension of the blossoming Sengkang township. Its seamless connectivity to the public transport network, expressways, as well as a wide range of amenities, leisure options and renowned schools ensures utmost convenience for homebuyers. In addition, the development’s proximity to the future Seletar Aerospace Park will appeal to savvy investors seeking an attractive purchase in this locale,” added Mr Chia.
Jewel @ Buangkok offers stylish fittings and quality finishes in every corner. In the spacious kitchen are premium homemaking appliances from brands such as Electrolux and the luxurious bathrooms have deluxe sanitary wares and fittings from Kohler and Crestial.
Inspired by the sparkle and wonder of a jewel, the entire development is a showpiece that promises stunning, vast landscapes and thoughtful detailed features.
Most units have been arranged in a favourable North-South orientation to reduce heat and glare from the sun. The stylish sun-shade screens on the façade of selected units further enhance the comfort and privacy of the living spaces.
One of the development’s most outstanding features is the unique dual-level waterscape, which puts on show an expanse of rippling, crystal clear water that has both a breathtaking and calming effect. Adults and kids can look forward to the family pool which is equipped with an aqua gym and jacuzzi. There are even select units that offer direct pool access.
At Jewel @ Buangkok, six thematic cabins offer something for everyone to indulge in. The Spa Cabin is a haven for relaxation with its Rain Spa, Hydrotherapy Pool, Spa Deck and Spa Garden. The Gardener’s Cabin has a Gardening Corner and Vertical Garden that will appeal to those with green fingers. The Nature Cabin offers a Camping Ground, BBQ Pit, Hammock Garden and Wading Pool and the little ones have the Adventurers’ Cabin, which provides Flying Fox, Play Slide, Play Tunnel and a Rock Climbing Wall. Those wanting to release their inner master chef will love the Gourmet Cabin with Alfresco Dining and a Grill and Teppanyaki Pavilion. The last cabin, the Pet Lovers’ Cabin, ensures even furry friends can join in at the Pet-Lovers’ Bay, Mini Pets’ Play, Pets’ House and Pets’ Grooming Station.
Besides enjoying the connectivity of Buangkok MRT station which links to the Circle Line via Serangoon Interchange and downtown in minutes, driving is also a breeze with swift access to the Central Expressway (CTE), Kallang Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE), and Tampines Expressway (TPE) that connect to all parts of Singapore.
Within the vicinity of Jewel @ Buangkok, amenities, leisure and dining options abound. Kopitiam City is located just next to Buangkok MRT station and a 24-hour supermarket and medical centre ensures convenience round the clock. Even more shopping and dining options are available at the nearby Compass Point, Rivervale Mall, Hougang Mall, and Nex megamall with hundreds of premium shops and brands.
