Treasure Crest EC | New Sengkang EC Launch

Treasure Crest EC . New Executive Condo . 750m to Sengkang MRT Station

The Treasure Crest EC is a new Executive Condominium that is launching for sale in June 2016. Lowest priced EC in Sengkang now: average $730 – $750 PSF +/-. This Anchorvale Crescent EC will also be one of the few within walking distance to an MRT station – about 750m to Sengkang MRT station & Mall. The Treasure Crest EC is also within 1km to Nan Chiau Primary school.

2023 Update: Treasure Crest EC is fully sold. As of now, the only ECs with units available for sale are North Gaia in Yishun, and Altura in Bukit Batok. Adding to that will be the Lumina Grand showflat, that is targeting to open for viewing and sales in early 2024.

The Lumina Grand EC will be located right beside Altura, at Bukit Batok West Avenue 5. Given that Altura is almost 88% sold already, Lumina Grand will be a welcome addition to the executive condominium family. As a bonus, the Lumina Grand EC is being developed by a brand name developer, City Developments (CDL).

If you are interested, do head over to register for a Lumina Grand showflat viewing, and you will be kept posted on when exactly that will take place. Do take note however, that Lumina Grand is likely to be priced at almost twice the pricing of Treasure Crest.

The Treasure Crest executive condominium is by Sim Lian Group – who launched Wandervale EC very successfully in March 2016, selling 50% of its units at the balloting weekend. Factors included the spacious layouts and pragmatic designs, and the very attractive pricing, all of which are replicated in the Treasure Crest EC too.

The Treasure Crest Executive Condominium · Highlights

Sengkang Hospital near the Treasure Crest ECSengkeng Hospital opposite The Treasure Crest EC

  1. This EC is located at Anchorvale Crescent, 150m or 2 minutes walk from the new Sengkang Hospital that is currently under construction. Great upside potential as an investment, whether you wish to sell or rent it out after the 5 years MOP. There is very likely to be demand from hospital staff, like expatriate medical or ancillary staff.
  2. The Treasure Crest is also around 2 minutes walk from the Cheng Lim LRT station, just one stop from Sengkang MRT station. So you have a choice of walking to the MRT station, or taking the LRT ride there.
  3. Sengkang is a well established residential estate, with a full range of amenities. The Town Centre, with its MRT station, polyclinic, post office, and mall complete with community library, supermarket, shops, banks, food courts, restaurants and cafes are within walking distance.
  4. Nan Chiau Primary School is within the all important 1km range. Nan Chiau has a well deserved reputation for experienced caring staff, and for nurturing students & producing results above the national average.
  5. This location offers quick access to the Tampines Expressway (TP). Off-peak it takes 20 minutes to drive to the CBD, Marina Bay, Orchard Road via either the CTE, or the KPE which offers smooth traffic flow.
  6. Treasure Crest EC is not far, just 600m from the lovely greenery of Sengkang Riverside Park that spans both sides of Punggol Reservoir, linked by a wetlands bridge. From the park, a connector with cycling tracks leads to Punggol waterway, and the lifestyle mega mall at Waterway Point in Punggol.
  7. The park also adjoins the Sengkang Sports Complex and Sports Centre, with its many huge pools & slides, and a stadium.

The Treasure Crest EC really has it all – great design and spaces, proximity to nature and sports and recreation, convenience to schools, shops and food, and easy access to expressways and the MRT network.

THE 1953 CONDO / MIXED DEVELOPMENT

The 1953 condo is going to be one of the nicest things to happen going ahead in the Balestier area for a while. It is a new mixed development that will blend with 7 old shophouses that were built in 1953 (hence the name).

Unlike Treasure Crest, this is going to be a mixed development. The 1953 condo cum retail shops at ground level is a small compact project, made up of 3 parts. The Heritage Collection will be housed in the 7 conserved shophouses, while the Modern and Penthouses Collections will be in the new part of the building.

This 1953 condo is being developed by Oxley Holdings, who intend to launch it for sale in the latter half of February 2019.

VAN HOLLAND CONDO

If you are familiar with Holland Village, you would definitely know that it is one of the most well loved spots for dining and hanging out with friends. So this new Van Holland condo should appeal to those who would like having Holland Village on their doorstep. You can just hop across the road for dinner and a bit of shopping without worrying about car parking, or the lack of it.

Furthermore, there will be a new mixed development that is being built now, in Holland Village itself. This project has been a long time in the making, as the authorities are keen to get it just right. Holland Village has a ambience to it, partly due to its low street scale and proportion, that is important to be preserved. Hence the Van Holland condo, which will also be a low-rise at 5 storeys high, will be in keeping with that scale.

In fact the developer for Van Holland has said that they plan to integrate this project with the new mixed development (though no details are known yet), and tap on the buzz and vibrancy of these plans for the expansion and makeover of Holland Village. Though we hope they won’t overdo that and destroy its special charm.

The Van Holland condo enjoys the advantage of being on elevated grounds more than one storey above the Holland Road level. It is expected to provide around 80 homes, which is considered a relatively small to mid range development. The site is considered quite upmarket, sitting as it does on the fringe of the GCB area of Leedon Park and Belmont Park.

THE J’DEN CONDO LAUNCH BY CAPITALAND

CapitaLand Pte Ltd will be launching a new development, the J’den Residences, in late 2023. This project is on the doorstep of Jurong East MRT station, in the Jurong Lake District of Singapore.

Unlike Treasure Crest, this is in the western half of Singapore. Moreover J’den Residences will be a private condominium development, unlike Treasure Crest which is an executive condominium.

On top of that, J’den condominium is actually the residential part of J’den mixed development, that will include two floors of retail commercial space. The J’den Residences will also be linked directly to Jurong East MRT station via a link bridge, J-Walk, at the 2nd storey.

The difference in price is huge. The J’den residences will be priced probably in the region of $2,400 to $2,600 PSF, given its land cost and break even cost. Compared with that, Treasure Crest is like 40% of that pricing.

The other difference of course is that the J’den condo launch will be in an upcoming growth area, Jurong Lake District, that is slated to be the 2nd CBD of Singapore. A far cry from the suburbs of Sengkang, that Treasure Crest is located at. If you are interested in the J’den condominium launch, do head over to the webpage to register for a viewing.

The Treasure Crest Executive Condo · Shops & Dining

Living at the Treasure Crest executive condo will be pretty convenient. It is located in a mature housing estate, with all the perks that come with it. Like plenty of shopping options. Apart from the main mall at the town centre, Sengkang is dotted with little ones too, each with its own mix of shops and F&B outlets.

LENTOR MANSION SHOWFLAT LAUNCH BY GUOCOLAND

If you have always wanted a condominium that combined the convenience of being close to a shopping mall with quick and direct access to an MRT station, and one that is surrounded by lots of greenery, then look no further than the upcoming Lentor Mansion condo launch.

This project truly meets all these criteria, unlike Treasure Crest. And on top of that, it is being developed by GuocoLand, a brand name developer known for quality products and one of the longest and most reputable track records in Singapore.

The Lentor Mansion condo site is a long irregularly shaped parcel of land along Lentor Gardens, in the upmarket Lentor Hills landed estate. It will be within 5 minutes walk from Lentor Modern. This is a mixed development that comes with a supermarket, together with shopping and dining outlets and cafes, together with some shops and services such as dental and medical clinics and salons.

GuocoLand will start accepting viewing appointments for this Lentor Mansion showflat sometime early next year, possibly in the first quarter of 2024. The exact dates have not been decided yet, as the project is still pending final approval for sale from the authorities.

The other attraction for this Lentor Mansion project will be the unobstructed views to its south, possibly as far as to Peirce Reservoir, and Peirce Reservoir Park.
