The Landmark
In the Central Area of Chin Swee Road, between walking distance to 2 MRT stations (Outram Park & Chinatown), is an exciting new development called The Landmark that is slated to TOP in March 2025. During the British colonial rule, the Central Area was the main commercial and administrative hub of Singapore, and today, it retains its buzz as the Central Business District (CBD). Hence, for those working in the CBD, The Landmark would be a convenient and attractive option for residential stay. Its entry price point at about $22xx psf is also the lowest compared to other new launch developments in the vicinity.
This 1-block 396-unit condominium development comprises diverse configurations for 1-, 2- and 3-bedder units with sizes ranging from 517 sqft to 1141 sqft, and this is great for individuals who may want to buy a smaller unit for investment, or a bigger unit for their families’ own stay. Parents would be glad to know that the condominium is within 1-km to schools like River Valley Primary and Outram Secondary. The 517 sqft 1-bedder unit (pictured above) has a longish layout that would be comfortable for a single or a couple, with sufficient space to accommodate those who may need to work from home.The bedroom is sufficiently sized to place a king-sized bed, though there may not be enough room for much else with the built-in wardrobe in place. However, the balcony can serve well as a cosy nook for quiet respite, or for those with green fingers, for growing flowering plants and edibles, which has so taken Singaporeans by storm in this pandemic.
The 3-bedder units (pictured below) have nice ample room for the living and dining areas, lovely for hosting numerous guests at one sitting, and the balcony is big enough for families to have dinner almost al fresco-like, with views to boot. The developer has also provided quality Miele appliances such as 2 ovens (steam and convection), as well as a wine chiller, a two-door fridge and a washer cum dryer, all neatly tucked away within the kitchen cabinetry to provide a slick and seamless look for the kitchen area.
I also love that there is a sizable study positioned so near the master bedroom, with hackable walls that give owners creative license to convert the space into a walk-in wardrobe if they like, which is on the wish list of many a fashionista and metrosexuals, haha.
The master bedroom is also of a good size, comfy and homey, accompanied by a private balcony that feels exclusive and luxurious, perfect for unwinding after a hectic work day. I’d imagine one may choose to stay and lounge in this room for an entire day without even stepping out, and it could easily become the favourite space of the apartment.
With Outside Central Region (OCR) upcoming developments such as Lentor Central and Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 estimated to be priced around $20xx-$21xxpsf, The Landmark, located within the Rest of Central Region (RCR) and priced slightly higher than these OCR developments, would logically see a good capital upside. Hence, I think it makes for a sound investment choice. Furthermore, selected units are currently going at a promotional price of around $150K to $200K cheaper than the usual price. It makes sense to take action quickly to land your hands on any of these units going for significantly cheaper than the rest, before they are all snagged by discerning buyers. The early bird catches the worm, as they say!
