Myra

Myra is a freehold boutique condominium located at 9 Meyappa Chettiar Road in District 13 (D13). Myra comes with two strong selling points - its strategic location by Singapore’s city fringe and its freehold tenure. In land-scarce Singapore, a freehold project with a city fringe location like Myra is a sought-after real estate gem. The development’s proximity to the Potong Pasir MRT station (NE10) on the North East Line (NEL) also makes it a desirable option for buyers who are big on accessibility and convenience. Public transport accessibility is another key selling point. With the Potong Pasir MRT station (NE10) on the NEL just 150m away and two bus stops less than five minutes away, residents can conveniently travel to all parts of Singapore. The NEL gives commuters access to major train lines such as the Downtown Line at Little India MRT Station (NE7/DT12), North-East Line and Circle Line at Dhoby Ghaut MRT station (NS24/NE6/CC1), as well as the East West Line and Thomson East Coast Line at Outram Park MRT Station (EW16/NE3/TE17). Residents can also head to the NEX mega mall at Serangoon MRT station (NE12/CC13) and the upcoming Punggol Digital District, while riding the NEL. Drivers can get to the Central Business District in 20 minutes via the Pan Island Expressway (PIE), Central Expressway (CTE), and Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE). For nature lovers, the Bidadari Greenway and Bidadari Park are also nearby. Parkgoers will enjoy seamless connectivity to Bishan, Kallang, Serangoon, Ang Mo Kio, Seletar, Sengkang, and Punggol. Sitting on a rectangular land plot of approximately 2,851.1 sqm, Myra houses 85 exclusive residential units across a single 12-storey tower block.

The mall closest to home is Poiz Centre, where residents can conveniently shop for daily essentials at NTUC Fairprice and Watsons. The mall also offers various dining outlets and enrichment centres for families with children. Alternatively, residents can also head to the nearby Venue Shoppes for more food options. Residents open to venturing further away from the neighbourhood can explore the NEX mega mall at Serangoon and the Woodleigh Mall. For affordable eats and fresh produce, residents can check out nearby wet markets and food centres such as the Geylang Bahru Market and Food Centre, Toa Payoh Lorong 7 Market and Food Centre, Bendemeer Road Market and Food Centre, Whampoa Makan Place and Market, and the Upper Boon Keng Road Market and Food Centre. Tiara Land Pte Ltd is a subsidiary of Selangor Dredging Berhad. Selangor Dredging Berhad holds a reputable presence in both Singapore and Malaysia. Notable projects under their belt include One Draycott, Jui Residences, and Hijauan On Cavenagh - all of which are boutique developments in which the developer holds a niche. Units range from 1 to 4-bedroom configurations, with 2-bedroom units making up the bulk of the total units. Myra spots a facade with aluminium ‘ribbons’ entwining the building. These champagne gold gradient ‘ribbons’ were purposefully added to shelter the development from Singapore's erratic weather. Communal spaces on the ground floor are given added ceiling height to accentuate the space and make way for a walkway leading to the back of the development. This results in elevated residential units, with the lowest residential units located on the second floor. Units are primarily southwest and northeast-facing. Southwest-facing units may experience some afternoon sun from October to January. Northeast-facing units may experience afternoon sun from May to September. This is, however, mitigated by the aluminium ‘ribbons’. Located just beyond the city fringe, Myra falls within the established neighbourhood of Toa Payoh, which houses attractive homes and a wide range of amenities. Under Toa Payoh’s master plan, Myra residents can look forward to new parks and enhancement of facilities. Residents will find opportunities to upgrade within their familiar neighbourhoods or form families near their parents’ homes. More new housing options will be available in the area, including infill residential sites at Toa Payoh Lorong 4 and Lorong 5, Meyappa Chettiar Road, and Jalan Bunga Rampai. This gives residents more opportunities to upgrade to private properties like Myra within their own neighbourhood or reside near their parent’s homes. Residents can also look forward to the new Bidadari Park, which will incorporate a new lake while retaining as much of the area’s original terrain and greenery as possible. In time to come, residents will also enjoy enhanced access to parks with most households being within 400m of a park or park connector. Myra sits on an amalgamation of 17 separate land plots collectively purchased by Tiara Land for $60.2 million. It’s rare freehold status and its city fringe locale make it a promising option for discerning investors looking to capitalise on the leasing potential of the project’s location. Further adding to its appeal to buyers and investors alike, the development is within walking distance to a host of amenities and gives residents easy access to the city centre. For those looking to secure a unit for investment, the development’s proximity to various BTOs in Bidadari makes for access to a good pool of potential HDB upgraders in the future.
