Announcement: Granmil Holdings to launch luxury condo in Orchard Road: Boulevard 88

Granmil Holdings (CDL & Hong Leong Holdings) will release its new luxury Boulevard 88 Modern condominium project in late 2018 – the first large-scale launch in Orchard Road & Cuscaden Road.

The plum site at the corner of 81 Orchard Boulevard, which will yield 154 apartments and 28 storeys, was one of the most highly contested land plots last year.

The units will be released in phases. Boulevard 88 prices have not been fixed yet but will start at an estimated high psf (per square foot) for the smallest apartments, which are two-bedders. Marketing agents expect pricing to be more than recent condominium launches following the property market hype.

The nearby 302-unit Martin Place Residences has had an average transacted price of $1,969 psf over the last 12 months, according to ZACD Group. Average prices for Martin 38 were $2,305 psf and $1,949 psf for the 545-unit Rivergate. Starlight Suites, completed in 2014, has averaged $1,812 psf in the past 12 months.

Mr. Thomas Seet, head of research and consultancy at SGCondo Group, estimates Boulevard 88’s breakeven price will be in line with one of the top condominiums in the area. The firm raised eyebrows when it paid $2,910 psf per plot ratio for the site last year.

Mr. Seet said: “You’ve got to give credit to them. What some developers would do is to carve out many small shoebox units to squeeze a higher psf price, but they didn’t.”

Boulevard 88 Condo will feature 28-storey towers will house 154 apartment units.

These will likely comprise a variety of two bedrooms, two-bedders plus a study, three-bedroom units, and premium three-bedders (Including Penthouses).

The largest units will be the top storey penthouses.

SGCondo Group managing director expects half the buyers to be owner-occupiers and the other half investors.

Boulevard 88, which has a freehold tenure, should be completed after 2022.

By then, the whole area will be primed with even more prestigious landmarks and shopping malls.

“If sales of Boulevard 88 Condo go well, there’s a possibility some developers might trigger that tender,” Mr. Seet said.

South Beach Residences, A Condo of Fun and Joy?

Back in 2016 when South Beach Residences TOP and launched its preview, the hyped up Luxury Condominium halted sales and preferred a vacant period to selling off to the hype. Citing reasons, “Sometime in 2014, CDL, South Beach Residences’ developer, turned down an offer of $26 million for one of its penthouses citing imperfect timing to launch the project. It did not wish to sell any unit until market conditions were suitable.”

This quarter of 2018, CDL reannounced plans to put South Beach Residences back to the market, suggesting that the market is right and primed for real estate. This could potentially mean the property outlook is strong for the next few years and while prices are rising, it is a great opportunity to spring into the first wave of purchases before prices skyrocket due to market speculation.

What is South Beach Residences all about?

South Beach is the epitome of the definition of an integrated development. Situated right in the heart of the most happening and busiest district of Singapore, the development will consist of 5 Star Hotel, upscale Grade A Offices, Luxury Retail, Ballrooms, Business Centres and restaurants. South Beach Residences gives the opportunity to own an ultra-luxury residential unit in this mega-development. Jointly developed by City Developments Limited and IOI Group, South Beach is located next to the Esplanade MRT and City Hall MRT and within Downtown.

The Condo itself includes about 500,000 sq feet of office space, 190 apartments, a 654-room hotel, about 37,000 sq ft of retail space and a 29,000 sq ft private club. You can guess why it attracted an excited crowd especially investors from around the region. Everyone wants to get a foot into this prime condominium since its becoming of an integrated resort-like development like the previously acclaimed Marina Bay Sands.

Property boom in 2018

Previously mentioned, we expect the real estate market to go nuts in 2018. This is in line with what we observe thus far: More and more new condo launches with up to 6,000 residential units up for grabs in Singapore. “This year, 18 private residential projects with an estimated 6,000 units were launched for sale, says Ong Teck Hui, JLL national director of research. He foresees about 20 projects being launched next year, yielding 8,000 to 9,000 units. Ong’s forecast for new home sales in 2018 is 11,000 to 12,000 units.” Up from 11,000 projected sales in 2017, this is roughly an 8.3% increase in projected sales. In fact, there has been a 38% increase in sales as we moved from April to May. No wonder South Beach Residences has always been ready for this moment – they wanted prospect buyers who are able to an ultra-luxury development like this!

What makes South Beach Residences so attractive?

Being an all-integrated mega development (the 29,000 sqft private club makes it crazy alone!), here are the main reasons why South Beach Residences is so attractive:

Iconic Architecture
Surrounded by Iconic Buildings and Monuments
Ultimate Convenience – Dining, Retails, Drinking, Clubbing under 1 Development
Access 3 MRT Lines via underground walkways
Spectacular Views
Destination in its own right
Truly the “One-In-A-Million” Development, made for the wealthy

To quote from the developer:

“Fine craftsmanship. Thoughtful finishing. South Beach Residences caters to the most discerning. Each unit is furnished with quality appliances and fittings from leading international brands such as Miele, Duravit and Keuco, infusing every unit with a sense of modernity and timelessness. Exquisitely designed, these homes set the benchmark for urban luxury.”

Since South Beach Residences is developed beside the CBD, the site itself is fantastic. Get views of the sea, Singapore CBD skyline and the Marina Bay reservoir area all under 1 roof with a good bird’s eye view of the city landscape. Furthermore, the condo is rich in heritage too – The south-west face will open onto the War Memorial Park which houses the Civilian War Memorial monument. This is one of Singapore’s most famous heritage landmarks (completed and unveiled in 1967). It is highly unlikely this site will ever be redeveloped anywhere in the near future. Beyond that is the Padang and Esplanade Park which are open greenery space. This will probably be where the prime stacks will be facing as this frontage offers the best-unbridled view of the CBD skyline and the Marina Bay area.

A Luxury Development alongside Positive Real Estate Outlook

In Mathematics, you learn that two positives create a greater output. And here’s the situation developing for South Beach Residences. On one hand, a highly reputable development with incredible amenities, prime location, and one of the best views in the city. On the other hand, a property outlook that looks like it’s ready to charge into a bullish movement anytime. Which is why we think that South Beach Residences is set to boom for 2018.

In case you were wondering, the unit sizes are atypical of Singapore housing – they are fairly huge (Of course with a greater price to pay):

Unit types:

88, 2-bedrooms (968 – 1647 sqft)
61, 3-bedrooms (1,733 – 2,260 sqft)
35, 4-bedrooms (2,282 – 2,627 sqft)
3, 3-bedroom penthouse (3,581 – 5,048 sqft)
2, 4-bedroom penthouse (4,127 – 5,629 sqft)
1, 5-bedroom penthouse (5,768 sqft)

The current prices psf are not officially released yet, and we advise interested buyers to contact us to get an early preview during the relaunch, together with any E-brochures disbursement.

How the surrounding area – South Beach Avenue – makes the development even better

Visiting Hogwarts

Haven’t you always dreamed of receiving a letter from a school of
witchcraft and wizardry on your 11th birthday? Or wished you could drink a
small vial of liquid luck and turn your life around? While the world of Harry
Potter may be a fictional one, there are certain real life places that you can
visit to feel the magic that went into bringing those beloved characters alive
on the big screen.

While some of the Harry Potter experience can be lived in the
filming studio where the movie was shot i.e. Warner Bros.’ Wizarding World of
Harry Potter or at the Harry Potter themed park in Florida, this article
particularly focuses on a location of timeless beauty, situated in the heart of
England – the Alnwick Castle

The Alnwick Castle is one of the many real life locations of the
Harry Potter movies, specifically Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. In
the movie, one can identify certain scenes where Harry, Ron and their friends
are flying around the castle on their broomsticks. The Alnwick Castle is
situated in Northern England, not too far from Scotland, and was the home to
the Duke of Northumberland’s family – The Percys.

The Alnwick Castle was possibly selected due to its charming,
antiquated appearance. The exquisite exterior walls of the castle, along with
the high turrets and the view of rolling green grass in all directions that the
eye can possibly see also contributed to its eclectic, enchanting features. The
Alnwick Castle is surrounded by velvety green grass that has been dotted with
various tall trees. A large number of sheep and other cattle use its grounds
for grazing. The pathway leading up to the stables is lined up with delightful
fountains, giving the location an ethereal, other worldly appearance. Because
of these qualities, long and panoramic shots could look truly majestic. These
characteristics become evident in the shots with the broomsticks flying across
the sky with the castle grounds as the most perfect backdrop.

The fact that the Alnwick Castle was used as a filming location
for this movie added to the number of tourists the castle was visited by each
year. The Alnwick Castle is a famous tourist spot and is often combined with a
visit to the Holy Island or the Viking Coast. The Alnwick Castle has received
generally favourable reviews from its visitors, who mention that there is the
option to enter the castle through the “Hogwarts Gate”. The visit is
accompanied by a whole lot of entertainment experiences. Apart from being able
to learn the history of the Percys and view the lovely State Rooms, one is also
able to have the broomstick experience or the dragon quest. Reviewers state
that both of these, especially the broomstick training. It gave adults and
children reason alike to laugh and have a wonderful adventure. Apart from
engaging in this, one can also take the film tour at the castle, or witness
jousting and the sparring of knights, which can transport one back to the
medieval times.

The tour of the Alnwick Castle can easily take up half your day,
more information for which is available online. Apart from enjoying the Harry
Potter experience, one can simply have a good time by taking a picnic basket
along and sitting on one of the picnic tables on the castle grounds that
overlook the river. As a filming location, Alnwick Castle has generally
received a 5 Star rating. Have you already visited this location, or any other
where a film was shot? We’d love to hear more about it, and what all the
location had to offer!
