a BEACON
extremely convenient. The BEACON is at Singapore city fringe at Cantonment. central location with easy commute to CBD and other parts of the island. this certainly justifies the price i feel. for myself, i pride convenience above everything else. so the urban noise is nothing to me. sleep with earplugs as noise is inevitable in such as densely populated country like Singapore and it is a tradeoff for convenience. took me so long to finally get a unit here, demand is high. -

beautiful pool
one feature i love about The Beacon is its beautiful pool. very large though not as peaceful with surrounding noise coming through. nevertheless, so glad to get my daily swim in. PLUS there is a SWING. so iconic ya. a bit imbalance for gym lovers becos the gym is small compared to the pool. no tennis court if that matters (doesn't matter to me). lovelyyyy -

functional kitchen
sold on the fact that The Beacon has functional kitchen with good-sized layouts and efficient units. BS is outside so not eating into my space too. i'm staying in a 3 bedder and it is excellent for me and my family as we often cook and host a lot. if not cooking at home, there's plenty of food around albeit a bit more expensive due to the aprtment being in the city fringe area. but we do some cafe hopping once a month and the coffee at everton park is amazing as always. sometimes we do check out michelin star / best bar places too, but usually on birthdays and anniversaries. -

Great investment for rent and appreciation in
The 1500sf units have square layouts which makes it efficient and comes with 2 nicely sized balconies. The surrounding areas have limited number of units with this size as mostly are shoebox sizes. The limited supply of bigger sizes catering for families will make this a good investment for the future with the upcoming greater southern waterfront master plan -

The Beacon
Straight forward no frills design condo at the fringe of the business district. Not eye catching but very functional and still convenient location. Great place to stay for those working in the Tanjong Pagar area -

Ok but some issues with the building
Been living here for 2 years but will definitely moving out because of various issues. The building in general is good and has great access to the CBD. Main issue is that the windows have been falling out ( including in my apt) for nearly 2 years now and nothing has been resolved between the developer and management. I don't need to explain how dangerous 6ft windows falling 18+ floors is and the consequences as a result - such as pool closed for 3 weeks + when it happens. Leisure facilities decidedly average , pool good when it is open but gym not really great and machines often not in order. Management are also draconian - nothing can be delivered without a $1000 deposit and nothing after 1pm on a sat which hardly suits those working long hours in the city. Road noise and pollution is a problem for all apts as all face the road in some form, the massive Pinnacle aslo blocks much of the light and sun... Final thing is the school behind - which is very noisy during the week so working from home not possible. -

Hidden gem!
I have been staying at the Beacon since early 2009, and bought last year. This is THE hidden gem in the city - both in terms of staying, or as an investment. At the current price (~1450), the rental yield is over 4.2%, which is phenomenal for a condo in Tanjong Pagar, close to 2 MRTs, bus connections, NTUC, 7/11, and an endless list! I see appreciation to SGD 1,625 psf, irrespective of a stable market in Singapore otherwise. -

Fits my profile
Beacon fits the profile that i am looking for in an investment property and an owner occupied property. The upcoming primary school looks big enough to accommodate at least 1,200 students. This area is in need of a large primary school considering the big catchment area with established HDB flats (Cantonment close) and the just completed Pinnacle@Duxton. The presence of this school should make the Beacon a well sought area for school-going families. One thing that certainly stands out is this project's strategic location - less than10 minutes away from Raffles Place, Harbour Front and Marina Bay. Just across the Cantonment Road, you find a big wet market, NTUC shop, a 24-hour 711, community centres (with many badminton courts) and various foodstalls. Down Neil Road, you find various upper market restaurants and water holes for one to chill out. Via Cantonment Close, you reach the famous Tj Pagar KTM for the yummy nasi Bryani. It's sad that the KTM station will be relocated but the good thing is it could rejuvenate the entire area, sprucing up the relatively old-looking Cantonment vicinity. The convenience is really cool. The surrounding big offices like Xerox Office, Keppel Corp HQ and others should make this place a hotbed for people working nearby. The first time (June 2009) when i viewed this project, i walked away with good impression. In fact, I decided to buy one decent-sized unit there (1169 sq ft) which is currently tenanted out, generating a good rental yield. The squarish units make it space efficient. The built-in cabinents are of good size. The quality of the interior is not superior but we need to weigh this against the price paid. That's only fair. I am certainly a happy buyer. -

A convenient and well connected condo
I find The Beacon very suited for city living: close proximity to CBD and great connectivity via public transport. With the large primary school due for completion by Nov 2010, this could add more value to the Outram Park and Tanjong Pagar districts. The Beacon offers most of the basic condo facilities. What's lacking is a tennis court but i would not complain about it as city condos usually do not come with a tennis court. Tennis court is usually underutilised. What i like most about this project is its 40m lap pool. The facilites are well maintained. Noise is an issue but this is the price to pay for city living. Well, after a while the noise does not bother anymore, i suppose. The tall HDB - Pinnacle at Duxton - is daunting to look at from the poolside. There are positive spinoffs: more shoplots (dentist, 711 and Mr Bean), more amenities could be constructed around the area - the primary school is one case in point. I like the good sized kitchen for the three-bedder unit. The direction of the condo is good. Its East-West facing allows lots of sunlight. The morning sun or heat is largely blocked by Pinnacle at Duxton. Overall, I think this is a good project for city living. -
