To book a showflat viewing and to learn more about floor plans and selling prices, potential buyers can contact the official development team or listed agents.The development’s location in one of Singapore’s most sought-after estates is a key selling point for potential homeowners and investors. This low-rise single-block residential development in D15 sits on a land area of 18,507.4 sq ft. With a gross plot ratio of 1.4, all units spread across five floors come with spacious layouts for comfortable living. Consisting of three - to four-bedroom apartment, the homes in Baywind Residences come with high ceilings and elegant glass windows to maximise ventilation and create a welcoming ambience. All units come with universal space, so homeowners get the liberty to decide how to maximise its use to suit their lifestyle needs.Under URA’s Master Plan, plans have been put in place to incorporate several new developments in Marine Parade and the East Coast region. This can have a spillover effect for homeowners of Baywind Residences given that the project is strategically located within close proximity of these areas. The completion of the Thomson-East Coast Line is expected to further push the investment potential of development. The development is a short five-minute walk from the upcoming Marine Terrace MRT station. The TEL will significantly increase connectivity of Baywind Residences to Singapore’s city centre which bodes well for potential buyers with intentions to eventually sell or rent their units. Further down the TEL in the Bayshore area, land plots have been set aside for 12,500 residential homes comprising both HDB flats and private condominiums. While this may not directly impact homeowners of Baywind Residences, the overall refreshing of the East Coast region may push up demand for housing in the neighbouring areas.Baywind Residences comprises about 24 exclusive units across 5 stories. The three and four-bedroom units come in a variety of configurations and sizes to suit various buyer profiles and lifestyle needs. With development being within a 1km radius of many choice schools like Tao Nan School, the project presents a strong draw for families with primary school-aged children. Residential projects within close proximity of educational institutions typically command higher prices as home seekers with school-going children may seek out these properties. This potentially translates to relatively stable property prices for Baywind Residences units which may appreciate over time. Baywind Residences’ freehold tenure also offers prospective buyers more value in the long term as opposed to leasehold properties. Moreover, with the upcoming launch of the nearby Marine Terrace MRT station, the appreciation potential of Bayfront Residences is expected to increase in the future.
