Verdale Project Review

Tucked away in the private residential enclave of District 21, the 258-unit Verdale condominium by COLI Singapore and CSC Land Group brings an exclusive and tranquil getaway from the city surrounded by the lush landscape of Upper Bukit Timah. For those inspired by quality living, future residents will get to enjoy a rejuvenated Beauty World, which is due to get a facelift upgrading the area’s amenities, connectivity, and vibrancy. 

Centred around the ‘less is more’ mentality, Verdale’s minimal facilities are intended to maximise outdoor courtyard spaces and build an oasis of content and peaceful living. Similarly, residential units feature a unique quartet of Smart Space Solutions, with a similar intention in mind, encouraging space optimisation for greater practicality and peace of mind.

Inspired by the Japanese concept of (Shinrin-yoku, 森林浴) or ‘forest bathing, which advocates spending time immersed in greenery to connect with nature; Verdale condominium promises a relaxing environment free from the stress of urban life, inspiring residents to slow down and inspire your mind and soul. 

As such, the development provides a suitable environment for nature lovers or pet owners who can cherish the large green open spaces, and the substantial 2-bedroom units are perfect for newlyweds, empty nesters, retirees and so on, who can revel in the peace and privacy whilst remaining a close distance away from the convenience of Beauty World.

Verdale design

Verdale Condo will be a space which integrates modern sophistication and serenity. Spread across seven blocks and five storeys, each of the 280 residential units will feature a bold asymmetrical facade, creating both a sense of contemporary style and modernity. 

Verdale is designed with the value of being close to nature in mind, so residents and investors can expect all aspects of the development to embrace nature and its serenity, which is at the heart of the condo considering its proximity to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Bukit Batok Nature Park. 

The last few months have grounded the importance of a good home environment, one that is free from stress and serves as your own private live-play-work nest. Verdale is designed with this in mind. Some units are fitted with Smart Space Solutions that enhance livability by providing residents with aesthetic yet functional storage carefully installed with multi-use living in mind.

Verdale offers a wide range to choose from, ranging from 1-bedroom units to 5-bedders. Each residence is accompanied by four levels of living space, including a private car park basement, and has direct shelter access. The floor-to-ceiling windows are also enforced by anti-external-force glass systems.

Type D1 (4 Bedroom) review

These 4 bedroom units feature an open and welcoming living space, with a large living room that can fit both the dining and living space, located next to the open kitchen allowing for a grand social and entertaining set-up, or a great family area for everyone to spend some time together.

The kitchen features plenty of additional storage space to keep pots, pans, and appliances tucked away neatly, including the The Armadio pictured below. There’s also a built-in wine fridge below the oven. Residents can maximise counter space for food preparation and decoration, and reserve the back end of the kitchen for laundry and housekeeping needs.

Bedroom 1 is spacious, here it has a single bed to fit a desk but it could easily accomodate a larger one with a different configuration.

Due to the large closet space, additional storage may not even be needed here. Bedrooms 2 and 3 have a classy layout with minimal extras but can easily fit in a TV stand or additional storage space if needed. Both bedrooms run along the window portion of the flat, ensuring plenty of natural light during the day.

The shared bathroom is spacious and functional with plenty of built-in storage space and tall mirrors and ceilings which add to the grandeur.

Lastly, the master bedroom and ensuite bathroom at the end of the unit are fit for royalty. Here you can see the bedroom has its own private balcony which opens up the space, the ‘levitating’ bed and accompanying lounge chair and nightstand gives the room an elegant hotel feel. The room features two separate closets which lead to the sizable bathroom and shower.

Type B6 (2-bedroom deluxe) review

The 2-bedroom units are fitted with a well-designed kitchen that can easily accommodate two or more people at once without feeling too cramped and is equipped with all necessary utilities for a couple, newlyweds, retirees or a young professional to cook up a storm.

The kitchen opens up to a glorious living space with a stretched layout which connects the sofa-chair dining area to the living room which spills out into the balcony. The 753 sq ft unit feels anything but restrictive.

The common bedroom has been converted into a studio/home office here, showcasing the potential of using the unique windowsill as a nice workspace by the window, or double as a cosy reading corner plenty of natural light.

The guest bathroom is spacious with its high ceilings and large standing shower. Once again, storage spaces are aplenty tucked away neatly behind the mirrors, below the sink, and in the shelving above the toilet.

The master bedroom comes with additional storage space thanks to the sleek Armoire and closet spaces which run along the wall neatly.

Meanwhile, the master bathroom is grand and functional, with more storage below the sink and behind the mirror.

Type C5 (3-bedroom deluxe) review

The 3 bedroom deluxe, 1,033 sq ft units have an optimised layout, with a spacious living space which combines a sofa and chair dining set up, right behind the glass wall is the kitchen, set up for a convenient hosting or family dining situation.

The kitchen is well equipped with storage space thanks to the Armadio, is ergonomic for multiple people preparing and cooking at once, and even fits a sizable pantry (or storage) space with a bathroom if needed!

The hallway branches off into the bedrooms, bedroom 1 is designed with a unique platform single bed and a hanging table. The room could easily accommodate a larger bed and additional shelving due to the high ceiling.

Bedroom 2 has been displayed as a nursery, with quaint wallpapering and a comfortable amount of floor space left. Of course, the bedroom could fit a single bed + desk or queen size bed along the window. Across the hall is the shared bathroom, which like all the bathrooms seen so far has no shortage of storage space.

At the end of the hall sits the master bedroom with plenty of natural light, giving it a nice open and bright feel.
