Singapore’s tallest building to be built above Tanjong Pagar station

Posted on 2 May 2013 | Comments Off on Singapore’s tallest building to be built above Tanjong Pagar station

Singapore’s skyline is set to welcome its tallest building in 2016 at a site above Tanjong Pagar MRT station.

Developer GuocoLand said the 67-storey office-cum-residential tower will form part of the upcoming integrated development called the Tanjong Pagar Centre.

At 290 metres high, the building will soar above Republic Plaza, One Raffles Place and UOB Plaza One, which are 280 metres tall each.

There will also be a hotel and a shopping mall in the integrated development.

The entire development will have a floor space of 1.7 million square feet.

GuocoLand intends to launch the residential units for sale in the second half of this year, depending on market conditions.

Group managing director of GuocoLand, Trina Loh said: “I think it is difficult to give an exact price now. When it is closer (to the date of launch) we will reveal it.

“But if you look around the area, we have achieved certain prices. And we are very confident our product and the residential component starting at above 180 metres which is really above 50 storeys for residential should command a premium price compared to the area.”

Far East launches condo with Ferrari design

Posted on 2 May 2013 | Comments Off on Far East launches condo with Ferrari design

Property developer Far East Organization yesterday launched a new ultra-luxury condominium development under its Inessence brand, releasing 30 of the 104 available units with prices starting from S$2.3 million.


Located at 1 Leonie Hill, Ferra is the first residential project in Asia to be conceptualised by Italian designer Paolo Pininfarina. It features a facade that closely resembles the signature supercars that he created. For instance, the balconies are designed to resemble the perforations in a Ferrari’s grilles.

“One of the trademarks of homes under our Inessence brand, is the signature design. Pininfarina’s unique design experience with luxury cars, products and interiors is brought to the fore in Ferra, with elements of the elegant silhouettes found in his designs integrated into a residential building,” said Chia Boon Kuah, Chief Operating Officer for Property Sales at Far East.

The 22-storey development is within proximity to Orchard Road and a short drive from prime areas such as the CBD and Marina Bay Sands.

“Ferra, like all our Inessence residences, fulfils the four brand attributes with Pininfarina’s exclusive design, the desirable District 9 address, configurable living space, and thoughtful design and services for home buyers. We believe that Ferra offers a strong proposition that will appeal to our target market,” added Chia.

Inessence was launched in 2010. Other projects under the brand include Boulevard Vue, Skyline@Orchard Boulevard and Alba.
