Archipelago comprises 18 five-storey apartment blocks housing 553 residential units and 24 strata semi-detached houses (each strata house unit comes with 2 private parking lots). Sitting on a plot size of 491,098 sq ft, Archipelago is approximately thrice the land size of typical mid-sized condominium projects. While residential towers at Archipelago only go up to five storeys high, the blocks are built on elevated ground, so residents get to enjoy unblocked views of their surroundings. As a relatively well-developed mature estate, Bedok spots a wide selection of existing amenities ranging from a reservoir and parks to neighbourhood centres with plenty of eateries, retail stores, and healthcare facilities. Nonetheless, URA has plans to boost Bedok further to make it a more “liveable and pleasant housing environment”. Proposed new developments include: 4km long Outdoor Play Corridor for more seamless access to and fro Bedok Reservoir Park and East Coast Park. New 60-hectare Bayshore precinct in Bedok South; an upcoming lifestyle waterfront residential estate surrounded by lush greenery with walking and cycling paths Future ITH at Bedok South Station Future developments in Bedok will focus on improving the community lifestyle by providing residents with more amenities such as a new community centre in Bedok South and Siglap. A new Bedok Reservoir Park clubhouse will also bring residents more recreational and dining options. Furthermore, the completion of the TEL running through Bedok South (TE30) and Bayshore (TE29) in 2025 and 2024 respectively will provide residents with more public transport options. Further increasing connectivity between Bayshore, Bedok South and the upcoming ITH at Bedok South station, the TEL will further boost the investment potential of Archipelago. With at least seven other condominiums near Archipelago, its’s resale price of $1234 to $1900 psf is relatively similar to that of the surrounding condominiums with psf prices ranging between $1093 to $1215. Given the comparably similar resale price points, Archipelago’s comparative advantage lies in the fact that it is one of the newest condominiums in the area. Having obtained its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) in 2015, the development’s longer lease tenure as opposed to older condominiums will be a stronger drawing point for potential buyers. For investors the development’s proximity to key business hubs and industrial clusters such as the Ubi industrial park, Tampines Regional Centre, Changi Business Park, Singapore Expo, and Changi Airport can contribute a healthy tenant pool for those looking to rake in some rental yields. On the whole, Archipelago is a development worth considering given the project’s generous land space and convenient proximity to amenities such as a well-connected transport system and the Bedok Reservoir Park.
