SORA

Sora condo, a redevelopment of the former Park View Mansions, is a 99-year leasehold condominium on Yuan Ching Road in District 22 (D22). Riding on the high anticipation for the upcoming Jurong Lake District (JLD) transformation, Sora condo is the latest new launch in D22. Hyped for its 300m frontage towards Jurong Lake within the JLD, residents get to enjoy residing in a perfect mix of scenic nature and modern luxury. Despite being a development in the Outside Central Region (OCR), residents will enjoy extensive connectivity to the rest of Singapore with a total of four MRT lines servicing the area with the addition of the new Jurong Region Line (JRL) and Cross Island Line (CRL) by 2035. Sora condo is also surrounded by a host of amenities, including the Taman Jurong Shopping Centre and Food Center, the Yuhua Village Market, and the Hawker Centre. For more retail, entertainment, and dining options, the cluster of malls in Jurong, such as JEM, Westgate, and IMM, are all a short drive away. Families with children will also appreciate the number of choice schools in the area. Lakeside MRT (EW26) on the East-West Line (EWL) is a short four-minute drive away from Sora condo via Yuan Ching Road. With one direct train ride, residents can travel to and fro Singapore’s city centre and the Central Business District (CBD) in under 40 minutes. Future transport developments such as the addition of the JRL and the CRL will further enhance connectivity in the area. Set to launch in stages between 2027 and 2029, the JRL will boost the accessibility of places in the further ends of Jurong such as Nanyang Technological University, Jurong Hill, and Pandan Reservoir. Further adding to the ease of commuting in the area, the JRL also connects to the Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub where commuters can easily switch between the EWL, North-South Line (NSL), and JRL. Planned for construction in three stages, the CRL will run through Singapore’s eastern, western, and north-eastern corridors, connecting major hubs such as the Jurong Lake District, Punggol Digital District, and the Changi region. For drivers, the condo is seamlessly integrated into arterial roads such as Boon Lay way, with the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) being less than three minutes away. This takes residents to the Orchard shopping belt and Raffles Place in less than 20 minutes. For nature lovers, the development is a short walk to the Jurong Lake Gardens. Home to more than 2.3 hectares of greenery encircling a freshwater reservoir, residents can unwind while soaking in the tranquillity of the surrounding views.

The cluster of established malls in Jurong East comprising JEM, Westgate, and IMM are within a short drive away. Residents can explore a variety of F&B, retail, entertainment, and service options ranging from restaurants to supermarkets, cinemas, outlet malls, and even a library. For fresh produce and local hawker fare, residents can head to Taman Jurong Food Centre or Yuhua Village Market and Hawker Centre. Residents can concurrently indulge in affordable local food while doing grocery runs at the wet market. Sora condo is developed by a SingHaiyi-led consortium comprising KSH Holdings and Ho Lee Group. With a wealth of experience in the industry, the consortium has jointly completed over 50 developments in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and Mainland China. Notable projects include Parc Clematis, The Gazania, Kopar at Newton, and Grandeur Park Residences. Sitting on a land area of 17,834.8 sqm, Sora condo comprises two tower blocks of 20 and 12 storeys, respectively, housing a total of 440 residential units combined. One of the strongest selling points is the Sky 360 rooftop terraces above all four residential blocks that present residents with unblocked views of Jurong Lake Gardens. Further complementing its impressive 300m frontage of the Jurong Lake Gardens, residential towers at Sora condo are tactically angled to maximise landscape views for residents. Sora condo is strategically located in the JLD, a rising area that is planned to become Singapore’s second CBD. Upon full development, the 120ha JLD will become a key commercial and lifestyle hub, making way for 100,000 new employment opportunities and 20,000 new homes. The upcoming JRL and CRL, which are slated for completion in 2029 and 2032, will further enhance the connectivity of the JLD. Enhancing the connectivity of the existing EWL and NSL, these new lines will further reduce travelling time for residents so they can get to Changi Airport, major business centres such as the Woodlands Regional Centre, Marina Bay, and Raffles Place, as well as education hubs such as the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University in under 30 minutes. To further promote work-life harmony, lush green spaces as well as leisure and recreational clusters will also be developed around office space in the JLD. The future Jurong Innovation District (JID) will also be a short drive away. Serving as a research hub for advanced manufacturing with reputable technology partners such as Siemens, Hyundai Motor, and A*STAR, the JID is expected to create 95,000 jobs so residents can look forward to more employment opportunities closer to home. In time to come, this may also further drive up rental demands for housing in nearby neighbourhoods, translating to a potential increase in rental yields for homeowners. The SingHaiyi-led consortium secured the site with a bid price of $260 million, which works out to $1,023 per sq ft. Upcoming developments under URA’s plans will transform Jurong into Singapore’s second CBD. With the aim of creating 100,000 new jobs by 2040 to 2050, Sora condo is a development worth considering for home seekers and investors, given the first-mover advantage that can potentially translate to decent capital appreciation and rental yields in the long term.
