Sengkang Grand Residences Review: A future integrated development above Buangkok MRT

Sengkang Grand Residences is an upcoming 680-unit, 99-year leasehold development located in District 19. Jointly developed by City Developments Limited (CDL) and CapitaLand, Sengkang Grand Residences is set to become the third largest mixed development in the North-Eastern region of Singapore. 

The project consists of nine, 13-storey blocks that are nicely spaced out from one another. The spacious layout of the blocks is made possible because of the large land area (401,012 sq ft) that Sengkang Grand Residences sits on, which is equivalent to the size of five full-sized football fields.

What’s notable about this development is that it’s integrated with an MRT station (Buangkok MRT), a bus interchange, community club, community plaza, childcare centre, hawker centre and a retail mall (Sengkang Grand Mall). The condo sits directly above Buangkok MRT and bus interchange, which are accessible by lift. 

As you would imagine, living in an integrated development comes with its own conveniences; you don’t have to travel a million miles to get your basic essentials and groceries, and with a shopping mall below, you’ll have lots of dining and shopping options.

At the same time, you have the hawker centre at your service if you are looking for more affordable hawker fare for your day-to-day meals. 

Apart from retail therapy, residents can also engage in active learning, living your passion, play your favourite sports or simply mingle with neighbours at the community club. Last but not least, the seamless connectivity at Sengkang Grand Residences opens up plenty of options for you to embark on adventures outside of Buangkok. Residents are just a lift away from Buangkok MRT and a few MRT stops away from other parts of Singapore.

Sengkang Grand Residences: Developer

Sengkang Grand Residences is a joint development by two mega developers in Singapore: CDL and CapitaLand. The residential area will be developed by CDL while CapitaLand will be developing the Sengkang Grand Mall that sits beneath Sengkang Grand Residences.

Both developers are top-notch developers with years of experience under its belt. Not just that, they are also award-winning developers for many of their projects.

As a pioneering force in sustainability, CDL has received multiple BCA Green Mark awards for their past developments. They have also won the World Gold Winner (Residential, high rise) of the FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards in 2019 and the prestigious 2020 ULI Asia Pacific Awards for Excellence for one of its projects – New Futura. 

CapitaLand is also another award-winning developer both locally and internationally. They clinched the Best Overall Developer (Singapore) in the Euromoney Real Estate Survey in 2019. Like CDL, CapitaLand is also a winner of the FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards in 2019 for its Raffles City Hangzhou development.

Given their strong track record and reputation in delivering quality condo projects, homebuyers can expect Sengkang Grand Residences to be another top quality condo development from CDL.

Sengkang Grand Residences: Design

Sengkang Grand Residences: 1-bedroom + study (Type A1S, 474 sq ft) review

The 1-bedroom + study showflat (474 sq ft) is designed to suit the needs of young professionals and young couples who are looking for an affordable unit.

The layout and design of the unit ensure that space is fully utilised with the kitchen area seamlessly designed as part of the entrance corridor. Essential appliances such as the washing machine/dryer and fridge are nicely concealed in the cabinet, which gives the kitchen area a clean look.

The layout and design of the unit ensure that space is fully utilised with the kitchen area seamlessly designed as part of the entrance corridor. Essential electrical items such as the washing machine/dryer and fridge are nicely concealed into the cabinet, which gives the kitchen area a clean look. The design of the showflat also gives the unit a visual feel that the kitchen area is cordoned off the living room area, which makes the living room area look much more spacious.

The bedroom + study is amalgamated into one with extra space for the placement of your study area. For small unit families, the study area can also be converted into a baby cot area for your newborn. Those who don’t need the study area can also consider turning the extra space into a walk-in closet.

One thing to like about the design of the master bedroom toilet is that it comes with a modern and yet functional design. The toilet water tank is nicely concealed as part of the wall, which makes it feel like you are living in a hotel room.

The master bathroom comes with multiple dual features such as dual door access and dual showerheads. The dual door access provides easy access and convenience whenever you have guests coming over to your place. The dual shower heads allow you to choose between a rain shower or standing shower. 

Furthermore, what-you-see-is-what-you-get; apart from the overhead lighting, towel and toiletries, the bathroom comes with the same fittings and finishes as the photo above.

Sengkang Grand Residences: 2-bedroom premium + study (Type B5PS, 764 sq ft) review

The 2-bedroom premium + study unit (764 sq ft) is ideal for small families. As can be seen in the showflat image above, the bigger balcony area allows you to fit a four-seater table, which can double up as a dining area or an extra space for gatherings. 

Similar to the 1-bedroom + study unit, essential appliances are also nicely hidden behind the cupboards. This gives the unit a nice and clean look. The ample space in the 2-bedroom premium + study unit also gives rise to the possibility of placing an island in the middle of the living area that can act as both a dining table as well as a space to whip up your next meal.

Both bathrooms are fully furnished, and come with the premium fittings and furnishings. 

Sengkang Grand Residences: 3-bedroom premium + flexi (Type C5PF, 1,012 sq ft) review

For those with bigger families, you might want to consider the 3-bedroom premium + flexi unit . with 1,012 sq ft of space, there’s enough room for the entire family.

The master bedroom fits a king-size bed with enough walking space to spare, whilst the common bedrooms can fit a double bed and still have plenty of walking area. Having three such bedrooms means that you can potentially have 3-generation families living together without compromising your own personal space.

For homebuyers who prefer to have a separate kitchen concept, the 3-bedroom premium + flexi comes with a kitchen fitted with glass panels and glass doors to separate the kitchen from your living area. One thing we like about the design is the use of glass which lets you keep an eye on the kids while you cook.

The kitchen area is also linked to a small utility room that allows flexible use. For instance, you can use it as a room for your foreign domestic worker with a built-in bed. You can also choose to use the room for extra storage space.

Sengkang Grand Residences: Fittings and furnishings

Every unit comes fitted with branded kitchen appliances and bathroom fittings. Each home is fitted with high-quality and durable furnishings that not only gives your home the luxury vibes, but it is also designed to be functional and practical. These include:

• De Dietrich glass hob
• De Dietrich oven
• De Dietrich fridge
• De Dietrich washer/dryer
• Duravit wares
• Hansgrohe fittings

Sengkang Grand Residences Site Plan

Since Sengkang Grand Residences is an integrated development, it is located right above the Buangkok MRT station as well as the Sengkang Grand Mall that will be developed together with the residential area.

Thanks to the scale of Sengkang Grand Residences, the developer is able to provide a variety of facilities to its residents. Apart from the typical clubhouse, gym and pool, residents can enjoy some unique facilities that you seldom see at other condo developments. 

For instance, Sengkang Grand Residences’ poolside BBQ pavilion comes with access to a pool. It lets you have the luxury of holding your own pool party while spending time with your family and friends.

Sengkang Grand Residences also comes with pet-friendly facilities such as its pet play area where your pets can roam around freely. There are also plenty of child friendly play areas like trampoline trail, tower tree slide and animal sculpture playground for your child to have fun.

Residents who enjoy being surrounded by greenery will appreciate the developers’ effort to incorporate greenery into the development. For instance, Sengkang Grand Residences comes with its own treetop walk in the condo compound.

In addition, Sengkang Grand Residences is also conveniently connected to the existing Compassvale Ancilla Park via the Green Highline access gate. With a good amount of facilities and an external park, residents can unwind and enjoy nature after a long day of work.
