High Park Residences . Highlights
At first glance this might not seem a very exciting place to stay. But closer inspection shows that High Park Residence may actually be one of the best value private condominiums now. It has several attractive attributes:
- The location has some conveniences. 6 minutes, or 400m walk to the new Seletar Mall, with its food court, shops, and NTUC Finest supermarket. Or 5 minutes, 300m, to the food haven & culinary delights of Jalan Kayu.
- Going downtown? Off-peak, it’s a 20 minute drive to Orchard Road from here. Or hop onto an LRT train at the doorstep of the site, 4 stations from Sengkang MRT station where it’s a 20 minute MRT ride to Doby Ghaut station. So total 30 to 35 minutes. It’s not a bad deal, for the price here.
- This location is also close to exits to major expressways – about 5 minutes drive to the CTE (Central Expressway), and 5 minutes to the TPE (Tampines Expressway). So Changi Airport is only about 20 minutes drive away.
- A new home on a huge piece of previously forested land.
- CEL won the GLS land sales for 2 adjoining sites, and will amalgamate them into one condominium. The big resulting land size means there is scope for a lot more facilities, and economies of scale so that maintenance fees can be lower.
The size of High Park Residences is similar to Minton, which is now much appreciated for its wide landscaped areas & gardens, and good range of facilities. Initial fears over possible congestion because of its size did not materialise, as people do tend to come and go at different times. - Some units above the 17th floor will be able to get views of the sea or Seletar Reservoir.
- High floor units facing Jalan Kayu will get unblocked views for a long way. Just bear in mind that these get the west sun too. But you can do wonders these days with sun filters or screens.
- For investors, rental potential comes from high quality tenants at the nearby Seletar Aerospace Park.
Given all that, High Park Residences looks like it could be a good deal. Do register to view the show flat and see whether you might like it.

THE ARCADY AT BOON KENG SHOWFLAT LAUNCH
The most interesting new launch to come up this year has to be the Arcady at Boon Keng by KSH Holdings & SLB Development, that will likely be having its VIP Preview either end 2023 or early 2024. This is a freehold project bounded by Serangoon Road and Barnabas Lane. The location is very close to the city centre and the Orchard Road and Novena areas.
In fact, the Arcady condo is actually within a sub zone of the Kallang Planning area. And what makes the Arcady at Boon Keng condo interesting is that it has been a while since there was any new launch so close to Boon Keng MRT Station. In fact, the site is no more than 6 minutes walk from the station, which is just three stops to Doby Ghaut station in Orchard Road.
The Arcady condo showflat is currently under construction, but if you are interested, do drop us a line to be kept posted on the VIP Preview date.
The other attractive feature of the Sky Botania condo is its relatively unblocked views in a few directions, especially to the east and south-east of the site.
