Grandeur Park Residences Review

Propshort: The units shown at the Grandeur Park Residences showflat are impressive, spacious displays of opulence. The entire development looks and feels like a culmination of every improvement other developers have made to their own projects over the years. Add to that guitar classes, a POP station drop off, shops and much more and Grandeur Park Residences is off to a great start.

Grandeur Park Residences officially launches on the weekend of the 18^th & 19^th of February and it should be open for viewing as of now. There are three units on display in the large showflat; 2BR Penthouse, 3BR and 5BR. For this review, only the 2BR PH and 5BR will be discussed as the 3BR unit was undergoing preparation for launch.

While the units are rather well-designed with layouts that promote movement and a right of space, the development itself is the more impressive feat. CEL knew it was up against credible competition, with The Glades as its next door neighbour and other projects across the road so Grandeur Park Residences took to including almost everything a common condominium these days come with.

Swimming pool

Smart home capabilities (including night vision surveillance mode), expansive facilities, kids adventure/gym areas, hilltop dining, wet and dry gyms, laundrette, jamming studio, mini-theatres and even the aforementioned Salt Room and Ice Therapy Corners – two unique additions never seen before in a condominium, let alone outside of a Virgin Active gym from which Grandeur Park took its inspiration – are just some of the facilities one can expect.

Developer CEL also has a deal with Amore Fitness to conduct classes for a year in the development’s gym.

In addition, Mandeville Conservatory of Music conducts guitar and violin classes in Grandeur Park. There are also two commercial shops and even a POP station drop-off which makes Grandeur Park feel like a rather encompassing project that had thrown in everything including the kitchen sink.

The best part is, it all just seems to work. No one is going to complain about having this many conveniences around and Grandeur Park knocks the ball, well, out of the park.

2BR PH (850 sqft)

The 2BR penthouse unit looks and feels like a regular 2BR unit but bigger. At 850 sqft, the living and cooking areas still feel distinct with an invisible line between the both.

The kitchen appliances shown at the showflat comes with the apartment. But the ID carpentry and table does not. However, it does give a good idea of the size of table suitable for a dwelling such as this.

The communal bathroom is connected to the master bedroom as well and it is a rather large bathroom with a rain shower installed. Flooring for all units are homogenous but they are of varied design.

All penthouse units also come with a deck/loft and the 2BR penthouse unit is no different. The deck is substantial and lets someone of around 1.7m tall to stand comfortably without the top of their head touching the ceiling.

The space above allows for a work table, shelves, cabinets and display cases to be installed. The loft is sturdy and feels strong. The only issue here might be the stairs; they’re quite narrow and high so for people with acrophobia or are of a larger size, walking up and down might be a bit of an issue.

However, with enough usage, walking up and down the stairs should be less problematic. A railing is also built alongside so there is added protection.

All 2BR apartments and above also have an added option presented to the buyer before the units are built to not have the wardrobe installed in the event that the buyer wants to use the room for other purposes.

The 2BR units are, across all developments, usurping the 1BR as the investor choice and with good reason. 2BRs offer bigger space for more people and the 2BR PH in Grandeur Park does just that without sacrificing aesthetics.

5BR (1,462 sqft)

This 5BR unit comes with a private lift and lobby that leads directly to the unit. It’s an opulent surrounding that provides privacy since the living area is not visible from the lift, but inviting for when guests show up.

The living room is expansive even before adding the balcony space to it. But the sheer size of the living room and balcony offers plenty of space for days when there are large gatherings in the home. It all comes together rather nicely.

Residents on the high floors for units that face East Coast Park, will also likely get more of a breeze, unhindered and unblocked by neighbouring buildings.

5BR living room

In this unit, the first bedroom was designed as a dining area. The option for 2BR and above to have one bedroom offered without the wardrobe so that the resident may take advantage of the extra space and/or knock down the walls to add the bedroom space to the living room, may do so.

For this unit, it creates a nice alcove/dining area that is separate from the living room and as such, does not impinge on either areas, thus allowing them to be substantial on their own. It is a design imperative that hearkens back to how homes used to be, where the living room is as much its own entity as the kitchen was.

5BR dry kitchen

The kitchen comes in the modern wet and dry formats. The dry kitchen is little more than an island facing the main door with a sink at the back, and a range of appliances such as the coffee maker and microwave oven. The wet kitchen comes with the fridge and built in high and low cabinets. The gas hob, washer/dryer are also part of the ensemble.

The kitchen also snakes around the corner to reveal three things; the yard/helper’s sleeping quarters, its attached wash centre and a back door to the communal corridor and as a result, the common lifts.

As for the other bedrooms, there is a junior suite located on one end of the living room and separate from the others. This is done for two reasons; either to give the other married couple in the house privacy or to be rented out.

The junior suite has its own attached bathroom. The closeness to the main entrance of the unit and the kitchen adds convenience; a boon should the room be rented out.

All the rooms are fairly large. With a super single bed installed, there’s space for a work table, even a few shelves in addition to the built-in wardrobe. It is nice to see that the units are more than just functional and instead, offer good quality living spaces for an individual.

The master bedroom is appropriately large, with its own bathroom and balcony.

5BR master bedroom

The 5BR represents one of the showier type of residence, where the home is visibly opulent but still warm and inviting. It’s a great look and for a buyer with the cash, a fantastic buy.
