A Special Look at Jalan Tembusu GLS Site
By PropNex Research and Editorial
An exciting new development is coming to the east coast, situated along Jalan Tembusu, in one of the most vibrant and bustling residential locations in Singapore today. This upcoming development will draw the eyes of those who wish to live near the East Coast Park.
A government land sales site in Jalan Tembusu has recently closed its tender on 18 January 2022, with the top bid placed by City Developments (CDL) for $768 million or $1,302 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr). The 99-year leasehold plot, is zoned pure residential and is to be built as a condominium development. It can potentially offer 640 new homes on a site that spans 1.95 hectare in land size. The site has a maximum gross floor area of 54,789 sq m.
Situated in District 15 - one of the most desirable locations - future residents at the development on the Jalan Tembusu site will enjoy easy access to amenities at the retail-food enclave in Katong and East Coast Road. In addition, as there have been limited new private residential launches in the area in the last couple of years, the Jalan Tembusu project will likely find favour among home buyers and investors.
Vibrant and bustling East Coast enclave
The development is situated near the East Coast enclave which is known amongst local to be a treasure trove of popular eateries. With a wide variety of restaurants, hipster cafes and hawker delights located along the stretch of Katong-East Coast Road, it’s a gourmet heaven for foodies.
Residents will also enjoy easy access to amenities and places of leisure. Located a mere 5-minutes’ walk from the East Coast Park and beach, families and sports enthusiasts can easily stroll over to the park for a full day’s worth of water sports and recreational activities while enjoying the sea breeze.
There is no shortage of retail options in the area as well. Residents will be able to shop for their necessities conveniently at several nearby amenities namely, the Parkway Parade Mall, Katong Shopping Centre, and i12 Katong Mall. For local food fare, the Marine Parade Central Market & Food Centre, Dunman Food Centre, and Old Airport Road Food Centre are also within the vicinity.
Staying connected
This area is well-served by public transportation. The upcoming development in Jalan Tembusu is 1km away from Dakota MRT Station on the Circle Line and will be about 600 m from the future Tanjong Katong MRT Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL), providing easy access to the city centre and other parts of Singapore. The Tanjong Katong MRT station is slated to open in 2023-2024 under Phase 4 of the TEL opening. The development is also easily accessible to major roads and expressways such as East Coast Parkway (ECP) and Mountbatten Road, providing seamless access to destinations such as Suntec City, Marina Bay Financial Centre, and Changi Airport.
For families with school-going kids, there are several education institutions in the area, including Tanjong Katong Girls’ School, Tanjong Katong Primary School, Tanjong Katong Secondary School and Chung Cheng High School.
