The Crest

The Crest

Situated in Alexandra, on a rise located between the landed Jervois Road Enclave and the Alexandra Canal, The Crest is a luxurious development that has a unique look and style of its own. With 469 units ranging from 1 bedroom flats up to 5 bedroom apartments, The Crest also has a range of villas in 3 separate 5 storey blocks. The Crest is located an easy 10 minute walk from Redhill MRT Station on the East West Line, meaning that residents can be in the CBD or Orchard within 25 minutes of leaving home.The Crest is developed by Wingcrown Investment Pte Ltd, a joint venture between Wing Tai Asia, Metro Australia Holdings Pte Ltd and Maxdin Pte Ltd.

The Crest – Unique Selling Points

The look and feel of The Crest – designed by award winning designer Toyo Ito - certainly makes this development stand out. The units are built in such a way to ensure the utmost in privacy, with no two overlooking one another. From its position on a hill, in a relatively secluded and private area The Crest offers a more relaxed, calm atmosphere than many of the condominiums in the surrounding area. There are also a lot of different options available, from 1 bedroom units through to 5 bed apartments and 4 bed villas.

The Crest – Accessibility

Redhill MRT is located slightly less than 10 minutes’ walk away from The Crest, and with its position on a hill, the walk to the station would be easier and quicker as a result of the gradient. The nearest eateries are situated at the station, along with a forthcoming mixed use development which will offer more amenities for The Crest residents. The AYE and CTE are within easy reach, and the nearby Alexandra Park Connector provides an alternative route into the CBD.

The Crest - Project information

The Crest features 469 units, split between 4, 5 storey blocks which house the villas, with the remaining units located in 3, 23 storey towers. There is a very wide range of different size units, meaning there really should be something to fit most people’s needs when it comes to layout, size and number of bedrooms. All the units are relatively large, especially when compared to those condominiums The Crest will be competing with in the neighbourhood. As well as the usual 1, 2, 3 and 4 bed layouts, the development also features dual key units, ones with guest suites, study options, and 5 bedroom apartments. There are also 2, 3 and 4 bedroom villas. The luxury development has private lifts, which though becoming more commonplace are not seen on all projects of this size or price band. The Crest has a unique design in terms of the buildings’ shape, something that is carried through both the 23 and 5 storey blocks. This shape does have an impact on the shape and layout of the rooms, but not necessarily a negative one.Facility-wise, The Crest boasts, among others, a 50 metre lap pool, a leisure pool, a children’s pool, tennis court, a steam bath, a meadow spa and sky gym.
