For 1-bedroom units, both stacks 5 and 12 are outward facing.

Higher floor units will enjoy views of Gillman Barracks and Telok Blangah Hill Park, further ahead.

For 2-bedroom units, all the stacks are outward facing (stacks 4, 6, 11 and 13) and will similarly enjoy views of Gillman Barracks and Telok Blangah Hill Park, further ahead.

For 3-bedroom units, stacks 7 and 8 are inward facing with a full pool view.

Stack 9 is also inward facing, but with a partial pool view.

For 3+1-bedroom units, there is only one stack (stack 2) and it is inward facing with a partial pool view.

Lastly, for the 4-bedroom units, stacks 1 and 3 are inward facing, with a full pool view.

Residents in the 3+1-bedroom and 4-bedroom units will enjoy views of Keppel Golf Links and the sea beyond. Those in the higher units get a view of Reflections at Keppel Bay as well.

As for the orientation, the project is mainly North-South facing, which means that most units should be quite windy.

The pool with the hydro massage bed and seat is perfect for a midday dip. Or, residents can relax at the sun decks by the sides and the massage pavilion to the left.

The lap pool is ideal for the swimming enthusiasts.

The view of both the pools from the second storey terrace. The blocks are all raised, so most residents will have a nice view from their units.

This is one of the kids’ play areas. Parents or their helpers can relax by the side while the children have their fun.

The view from the sky gardens on the 24^th floor is pretty spectacular. The space is perfect for mini gatherings and even just to relax at on evenings.

On the right, the sea stretches out and on the left, you have an impressive view of Reflections at Keppel Bay as well as the sea and Keppel Island beyond that. Market watchers however have urged caution that this view could only be temporary. The lease to the golf club expires at the end of 2021 and the land has been marked for redevelopment.

First and foremost, the private lift which opens into the living room of the 3-bedroom unit.

All units come with a digital lockset for the main entrance door.

The living room extends to the balcony and the view from there is what makes this unit different from most other 3-bedroom units.

Similar to the view from the sky gardens, the balcony offers an amazing view as well.

Cabinets with solid surface countertops and sinks come with the kitchen. Appliances provided include a built-in oven, a gas cooker hob and hood, washer cum dryer and a refrigerator all from Bosch. Two people could move around in it at any one time, if need be.

The kitchen leads to the utility, water closet and yard areas. The space is ideal for your helper, should you have one.

The dining area is right in front of the kitchen.

The living room per se, is on the left once you enter the unit.

With the common bedrooms, going with the single bed option may be ideal if you want some leg room.

Bathrooms have a wet and dry area as per usual and fittings are from Duravit and Grohe.

The master bedroom can accommodate a queen-sized bed and still have more than enough maneuvering space.

The master bathroom is much bigger than the common one and comes with a bathtub.

The shower area comes with a rain shower which some of you may be looking out for.

With the 1-bedroom units, it’s an open kitchen backed against the wall. You get an induction hob instead of a gas one. Also, with the newer units, residents will get smart home features.

This is the view from the entrance. The kitchen is on the right.

You could have a mini dining area of sorts if you wanted.

The bedroom in the 1-bedroom unit comes with a bi-fold door. The bay windows offer residents a fantastic view of the surroundings.

Lastly, the bathroom is similar to the master bathroom in the 3-bedroom unit, but with no bathtub.

Buyers of Skyline Residences are likely to be owner-occupiers who like the location and investors looking to lease. An estimated 85% of buyers are Singaporeans and Permanent Residents.
