Amber Park Review

Amber Park is a 592-unit freehold condo located in District 15, one of the most popular areas in Singapore. Developed by City Developments (CDL), it was also one of the most talked-about projects in 2017 after CDL bought the former Amber Park condo in a $906.7 million en bloc sale, which is one of most expensive freehold en bloc sites.

The project consists of three, 21-storey residential blocks in the heart of the East Coast, located near East Coast Park, the food and heritage precinct of 112 Katong, and the upcoming Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) connecting residents to Orchard and the CBD by 2023. 

Residents will have access to The Stratosphere which houses a communal sky garden with a lounge, 600m jogging track, yoga deck and a fitness club with seafront views.

Standing at 80m above sea level, Amber Park is a freehold seafront living icon of the future. 

In the first weekend of its launch, Amber Park condo sold 115 units out of 150 early bird units released by CDL, making it one of the strongest launch weekend freehold sales of the year 2019. 

This success can be credited to the 85% Singaporean buyers and foreigners from China, Malaysia, Indonesia, and others. These buyers and investors were keen to snap up this high-end freehold development in a prime location residential location with seafront views.
