The Inspirations Behind The Sengkang Central Site

The tower orientation and landscape of Sengkang Grand Residences is influenced by its heritage of being a rubber plantation. Symbolizing a green symbol that is reminiscent of the rubber leaf and seed, with the rubber leaf growing in a spiral formation of three and the fruits consisting of three large pods, has significantly inspired the way the residential blocks are clustering.

To produce a highly synergistic layout, the community club, hawker center and childcare center are positioned to be highly visible from the community plaza and vice versa. This should greatly enhance the visual engagement of events in the community plaza and simultaneously heightened the visual experience of communal facilities.

The Bus Interchange and the MRT entrance have also been planned to be in direct line of sight for a clearer and direct connectivity.

Sengkang Grand Residences Connectivity

Careful planning was carried out to ensure great accessibility to the bus interchange and MRT station. For instance, the platform level of the MRT station entrance is connected to the Community Plaza in Sengkang Grand Residences for seamless connectivity with the entire development.

Residents and commuters of Sengkang Grand Residences can directly access Buangkok MRT station through a sheltered link. It is only 9 stops and merely 25 minutes traveling time to Dhoby Ghaut MRT at downtown. With an upcoming bus interchange planned, the value of connectivity is further enhanced for its residents.

Sengkang Grand Residences is easily accessible by major expressways – Kallang Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE), Seletar Expressway (SLE) and Central Expressway (CTE). Via the KPE, traveling to the Central Business District (CBD) is only a 20 minutes drive.

According to Business Times (Oct 17, 2018), research has shown that homebuyers are prepared to pay up to 19% more for integrated projects. Based on research done on past resale and rental transaction of completed integrated such as Bedok Residences and Orchard Residences, there is a strong demand for such developments due to the “unparalleled convenience” of having amenities within close proximity and the scarcity of such development. Statistics have shown that the strong resale and rental demand has accounted for rental and resale transaction rates that commanded a premium when compared to non-integrated leasehold projects in their vicinity.
