The Arden

The Arden is a 99-year leasehold condo from award-winning developer Qingjian Realty. Its location is in District 23 along Phoenix Road. Comprising 105 units and three residential blocks, the condo is a redevelopment of the former apartments and shops along Phoenix Road. The whole property was sold via en bloc for $42.6 million in 2019. The Arden is expected to be completed and obtain its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) in December 2025. The development is an affordably priced private condo project in a tranquil neighbourhood. Yet, at the same time, it enjoys close proximity to a variety of amenities such as shopping malls and MRT connectivity at Bukit Panjang which is a 10-minute walk or a short bus ride away. This gives it a nice mix of quietness and accessibility. The Arden’s proximity to the West of Singapore (i.e. Jurong) puts it in a strategic position to enjoy the benefits of living close to the upcoming Jurong Innovation District (JID) and Jurong Lake District (JLD). The Arden is located 600m from the Bukit Panjang MRT (DT1) on the Downtown Line (DTL). There is also access to the LRT system (Phoenix LRT), which is just one stop away from Bukit Panjang MRT (DT1). The development is a short drive away from the Kranji Expressway (KJE) and Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE). It is also connected to Upper Bukit Timah Road via the Hillview Flyover. Residents will be able to enjoy condo facilities such as a swimming pool, gym, kids’ playground, and verdant courtyard. The swimming pool is located between blocks four and six, which gives these two blocks the best view from their unit. The Arden is a three-block condo spaced out across a site area of 63,000 sq ft. This is roughly the size of 1.3 times of a football field. With the allocated plot ratio of 1.4, the developer is able to house 105 units with sizes ranging from 2-bedroom to 4-bedroom. Types of unit available in The Arden: 2-Bedroom Classic (B1) - 657 to 753 sq ft (30 Units) 2-Bedroom Deluxe (B2) - 721 to 818 sq ft (15 Units) 3-Bedroom Classic (C1) - 1,012 to 1,141 sq ft (15 Units) 3-Bedroom + Study (C2) - 1,109 to 1,206 sq ft (15 Units) 4-Bedroom Classic (D1) - 1,206 to 1,410 sq ft (15 Units) 4-Bedroom + Study (D2) - 1,389 sq ft (15 Units) There are nine primary and secondary schools within a 2km radius. This includes schools like Assumption Pathway School, Zhenghua Primary School, and Bukit Panjang Primary School. Four of which are within a 1km radius which includes West View Primary School and Teck Whye Primary School. Jurong Pioneer Junior College is also within the same 2km radius, making this location a convenient place for those with kids. There are a number of private general practitioner (GP) clinics right across the street from The Arden in the Teck Whye area, including a dialysis centre (Fresenius Medical Care Teck Whye Dialysis Clinic). The trio of shopping malls (Junction 10, Hillion Mall, and Bukit Panjang Plaza) are the closest place of interest. The combination of these malls gives residents a huge selection of retail shops to choose from for their shopping experience. Each of these malls has its own supermarket, which makes grocery shopping highly convenient since The Arden is just 600m away from the shopping malls. With a trio of shopping malls at Bukit Panjang, there is bound to be no shortage of restaurants surrounding the development. You can also take a short drive down Upper Bukit Timah Road to HillV2 or the Bukit Timah area if you are looking for a change of taste. There are also plenty of affordable food fares at Choa Chu Kang Market & Food Centre which is just 1.2km away. The location in the West means that it is close to the JID and JLD. Both JID and JLD will become the testbed for new, innovative urban solutions and infrastructure to become the largest mixed-use business district outside the city centre. From quality offices, housing, amenities to abundant green spaces, it will create a new and unique work-and-live area. JID will also become an industrial district for advanced manufacturing to support an ecosystem of manufacturers, technology providers, researchers and education institutions. This will create a spillover effect for those living in the West, including The Arden residents. The monthly maintenance fees for each unit at The Arden are estimated to be from $1,100 to $2,400, payable to The Arden management.
