Orange Court to make way for condo Orion

30 Dec 04

Redevelopment by Sime Properties Singapore to cost $80m, reports ANDREA TAN

SIME Darby Berhad's Orange Court Service Residences will soon make way for an upmarket condominium development called Orion.

http://business-times.asia1.com.sg/mnt/media/image/launched/2004-12-30/tsime30-223704.jpg
Reaching for the sky: The Orion will have 46 units spread over 27 storeys. Completion is slated for mid-2007

The 36-unit service apartment in Orange Grove Road will be redeveloped at a cost of some $80 million, according to Sime.

Sime Properties Singapore, the Malaysian conglomerate's property arm, is expected to tear down Orange Court in the second quarter of 2005. It sits on a 27,450 square foot freehold site in a prime residential area, which can be built up to a potential gross floor area of 76,860 sq ft or 2.8 times its land area.

At $80 million, including a development charge of $4.9 million, this works out to a land cost of $1,040 psf. Sime said that Orion would have 46 units spread over 27 storeys. Completion is slated for mid-2007.

The units are expected to be released in the first quarter at an average price of around $1,300 psf.

'With the higher living standards in Singapore and the increasing demand for more upscale residences, this redevelopment at a strategic premier location will allow discerning buyers a preferred purchase,' said Sime Properties Singapore director Yip Jon Khiam.

'With all the exclusive facilities provided, coupled with the choice address, we are confident that the Orion will generate favourable sales during its upcoming special preview.'

The condominium will include a sky gymnasium, spa in the sky and relaxation area located midway in the building.

Orange Court is located at 6C Orange Grove Road, a prime residential enclave in the Orchard area of District 10. Sime also has another property - the 75-unit Darby Park Executive Suites - also at Orange Grove Road. The company said that it has no plans for now to redevelop Darby Park.

Sime is not the only developer to bulldoze a service residence development in order to make way for a condominium.

Wheelock Properties (formerly Marco Polo Developments) also has plans to redevelop The Ascott Singapore and Scotts Shopping Centre into a condo and commercial project.

Sime is also developing the 62-unit freehold Balmoral Hills at Balmoral Park which it plans to launch next year.

Other properties the group has developed include The Armadale at Gilstead Road, The Amston at Hillview Avenue and Petro Centre in Bukit Merah.

Sime has set up Aquila Development Pte Ltd to undertake the development of the Orange Court property.

Ardmore View

a 36-storey condo in the works

Located in the heart of one of Singapore's most sought after residential districts, Ardmore Vue will be a luxury 36-storey residential development just off the main Orchard Road shopping belt, opposite Shangri-La Hotel. The freehold condominium will be sheltered from the bustling city and yet is only a leisurely walk from Orchard Road MRT, leading hotels and shopping centres.

Ah, there is still a lot of land available around Shangri-la Hotel.
Possibly it will be on this plot just in between future St Regis and BLVD:

Its in the Draycott/Ardmore area near the Shangri-La Hotel^^

they are now demolishing a building to make way for it..

That area in general is dense and getting taller with a lot of redevelopment of older, shorter condos :cool:

Talk about urban renewal!!!
It'll be hard to recall what builidngs stood on the site of a new building...

Pic of the building being demolished that I found online:

Er, no renderings?:?

I cannot find one yet

:eek2::cool:

yes i like it :D so wavy like tsunami :hahaha:

Developper: Hong Leong
Location: Draycott Drive/Claymore Road, just behind the Thai Embassy.
Type: residential (freehold).

Here is some more info from an article found by Rafflescity:
Not long after, Hong Leong Holdings, which has been quietly acquiring prime sites over the years, is expected to push out the 85-unit Tate Residences, one of two luxurious condominium projects it is preparing for launch.

Located along Claymore Road and Draycott Drive, the 36-storey project should be launched no later than the third quarter of this year.

It has units ranging from 1,900 sq ft to 3,300 sq ft, as well as two large penthouses, each of which comes with its own lap pool.

Showflat is currently under construction.

http://membres.lycos.fr/pengssc/img/060522_tate03.jpg

Note that this project is just two parcels away from the Arc at Draycott.

Looking at what it says on the first pic I'm hoping for a very elegant design with a lot of cool details ^ ^

It should be well visible from Orchard Rd, outside Wheelock Place.

Any idea how much psf?

looks very promising indeed.. but the banner itself seems unsuitable for the words on it.

Wonder what used to stand there? old apartments?

I think there must have been a villa here before, I remember seeing remains of a portal. But the site has been empty for several months at least.

Any idea how much psf?
around $2500~2600PSF :)

Hi all, juz got news from Developer about this project.

will inform you once i hv the preview info. Will invite the rest as well :)

Might preview for myself and for my rich friends, may not want to buy. Cause I'm sure almost everyone who wants the best place in Orchard is camping out for the apartments at Orchard Turn, that's the creme de la creme, top-of-the-notch property. It's perfect for people to do their "people watching" while they have their coffee in the future. :)

This article makes mention of the project:

Wheelock buys Habitat One for record $1,228 psf

By Property Correspondent, Joyce Teo

TWO developers have each picked up a prime freehold site in District 9, but it was the record-busting deal made by Wheelock Properties for Habitat One that stole the limelight.

Wheelock paid $180 million - or $1,228 per sq ft per plot ratio (psf ppr) - trumping the $1,218 paid for Eng Lok Mansion in March. Its price includes a $9.1 million development charge.

The 32 owners of Habitat One in Ardmore Park also have reason to celebrate - they will each get about $5.63 million, 70 per cent above the market value for the collective sale.

Wheelock acquired neighbouring Habitat II last August for $876 psf.

'We're quite choosy. Ardmore Park is like The Peak in Hong Kong and Mayfair in London,' said chief executive David Lawrence.

He added that the company is still going ahead with the October launch of the 118-unit Ardmore II, which sits on the amalgamated sites of Ardmore View and Habitat II.

Habitat One will be a separate project, possibly with 68 units of 2,500 sq ft each to be launched in 2008, he said. But Wheelock may combine it with nearby sites if they become available.

Wheelock's buy almost overshadowed another District 9 deal yesterday - Soilbuild's acquisition of Furama Tower in Leonie Hill Road for $76 million or about $873 psf ppr. This includes a $6.6 million estimated development charge.

The project's 33 owners will each get between $1.75 million and $2.78 million, with the penthouse owner reaping $4.64 million.

Although the project sold for less than the collective asking price of $82 million, the owners will still get nearly 100 per cent more than individual sales, said Mr Ho Eng Joo from marketing agent Colliers International.

The Furama Tower site can accommodate 40 to 45 units of an average size of 2,000 sq ft.

'The collective sales momentum is still there. Developers remain keen on prime sites, but they are becoming more selective,' said Mr Nicholas Mak of property consultancy Knight Frank.

Meanwhile, the 188-unit Rose Garden in Amber Road in the east has received the required 80 per cent approval to be sold en bloc.

Its sale tender has been launched, with an asking price of $167 million, or $416 psf ppr, for the four-storey walk-up apartments. The tender closes on Aug 14.

This is the block's fourth attempt at a collective sale in the past decade, said Mr Jeremy Chiu from its marketing agent, PropNex Realty.

There is no development charge payable and the freehold site has a maximum height limit of 24 storeys.

There are a number of new projects being built on collective sale sites around Rose Garden, including The Sea View and The Esta.

The 12-unit St Martin's Lodge in the Tanglin area, which is only 12 years old, has also been put up for collective sale at an asking price of $30 million or $1,182 psf ppr. Its tender closes on Aug 22.

Has the old building been demolished already ?

yes...it was demolished some time back last year ;-)

i'd like to know who the original design was from by tearing off the sticker! haha...

Wheelock is happy to pay $1228 for that area, which is near to nowhere in particular, while Furama towers, which is *less than 10 minutes' walk* from Takashimaya/Paragon, goes for $873. It's just incredible the way that some developers are able to manipulate perception about what areas are "upmarket"! Of course, I am assuming, probably wrongly, that whatever replaces Furama Towers will not be priced at some astounding level.....strange times we live in.

Hong Leong sells 75% of Tate homes

24 Aug 06

DEMAND for high-end homes is continuing unabated, with Hong Leong Holdings selling about 75 per cent of its 85-unit Tate Residences in less than a month - without even officially launching the project.
The luxury development in Claymore Road has achieved average prices of $2,200 per sq ft (psf), a Hong Leong spokesman told The Straits Times yesterday.

According to market sources, prices of some Tate units have reached as much as $2,500 psf, rivalling those of nearby Ardmore Park and St Regis Residences.

The latter, developed by Hong Leong unit City Developments, is selling at an average of $2,600 psf to $2,700 psf, while Ardmore Park is going for slightly more than $2,000 psf, according to recent caveats lodged with the Urban Redevelopment Authority.

Tate boasts two 36-storey blocks with apartments ranging from 1,900 sq ft to 3,300 sq ft, as well as two penthouses of at least 6,000 sq ft each.

The Straits Times understands that one block, which comprises the smaller three-bedroom units, has only five units left unsold at prices ranging from $4.7 million to $5.7 million.

The units are currently available for viewing by appointment only.

More than 50% of Ardmore II units sold

28 Sep 06

WHEELOCK Properties, which conducted a soft launch of its latest luxury condominium, Ardmore II, on Tuesday, said yesterday that more than half of the units were snapped up on the very first day.

http://business-times.asiaone.com/mnt/media/image/launched/2006-09-28/BT_4858471_27_09_2006.jpg

About 52 per cent of the 118 units at Ardmore II, located in the prime Ardmore Park area, were sold, said the company.

Ardmore II offers four-bedroom luxury apartments at prices between $4.2 million and close to $5.5 million. At a standard 2,023 square feet a unit, the average price of the units works out to $2,300 psf.

Even before the soft launch, interest in the development was high, said Tan Bee Kim, general manager for marketing at Wheelock Properties. Tuesday's launch was via appointment only, and all appointment slots were fully booked. Wheelock offered five appointments for each half hour period.

Ms Tan said the project saw especially strong interest from buyers of Wheelock's previous developments such as The Cosmopolitan and Grange Residences. 'We are delighted and encouraged that our development has attracted such enthusiastic response and definitive endorsement from our past purchasers,' she said.

'For the soft launch, we are giving a discount of about 10 per cent, but depending on the response, we will review the pricing.'

For Ardmore II, most of the buyers (80 per cent) were locals, said Wheelock.

Ms Tan said Wheelock's past projects usually had a good mix of Singaporean and foreign buyers. For The Cosmopolitan, Singaporeans account for about half of purchases; for Grange Residences, locals make up 60 per cent of buyers.

Designed by Architects 61, Ardmore II's two 36-storey towers sit on 90,000 sq ft of land across from the Shangri-La Hotel. The development is targeted for completion at end-2009.

Here's a peak at the model... My dressing was quite improper so I didn't try to get a closer look... But it looks rather plain, at least from far away... Urbana 2, anyone ?

As of 5th November, pilling is in progress. No shot, the small walkway to Draycott Drive has been closed.

Looks a bit like Urbana and BLVD from that angle

Arthur,

We will see how this goes ... ...

YFG ... ...

"'I certainly do not think that area can be asking for over $2000.

Why? In what way is it inferior to the Ardmore area?

I'm not saying you are wrong, in fact I think you are right, but that's because the ardmore area is also overpriced!

$1700PSF? to me the Ardmore Park worth around $2000PSF

To me, Fernhill Court, an old condo diagonally across the road from Orange Grove Residences, will be a better buy if one can get units there (but only 18 units there). Better plot with lush mature trees behind and enbloc potential.

Any sellers? I'm interested. I will negotiate if the first asking price is reasonable.

I went to see the showflat at Chelsea Gardens recently. It's very cosy within and the psf price is very reasonable too (Below S$1700psf as this moment). Frankly, i think this project has potential for price gains especially when Anderson 18 enbloc sale tender is closing very soon (asking S$1500+psf ppr) and when Orange Grove Residences maybe launched at S$2200psf. Unfortunately for me, the units in this project are fairly big and I can't afford any of them at this moment.

average $2,300PSF!!! :ohno:

average $2,300PSF!!! :ohno:

Hi Arthur,

You are not kidding yeah? Any sold yet or are you going to tell us this was all sold during pre launch too?

No worries. Anyway, it's about time this part of Stevens Road gets some attention.

Agent told me about 40+ sold already...

Today's The Straits Times reported that more than 50% of the 60-unit Orange Grove Residences have been sold in 2 days.


The prices ranged from about $1900 psf to $2100 psf.

Ah wees !

Orange Groove being marketed in HK this weekend...

Any sellers? I'm interested. I will negotiate if the first asking price is reasonable.

I understand a unit at Fernhill Court just came on the market. See Wed's classified. Agent's Tel 94503117. 2400 sqf asking $3.x mil. IMHO, reasonable, considering enbloc potential, the lush greenery behind and prices of Orange Grove residences.

It seems to be about halfway up.

Uhoh, the plot is a lot bigger than what I thought...
I can see the Arc rising in the background too... Nice! :-)
Is this taken from Orchard Towers?

it looks different from the rendering. supposed to be wavy but now it seems blocky.

Perhaps the curved facade is only along the Orange Grove Rd frontage :yes:

Nice updates by the way :)

They expected it to be completed by Mid-2007!

Didn't Ardmore Park consist of three 137-metre 36-story tower blocks that were built in 1978? I found that out on Emporis. I'm not sure what happened to those towers.

I thought it en bloc?

There are 3 new projects over at Draycott area namely Ardmore II, Tate Residence and Arc, what are the strengths and weaknesses of each of them?

There are 3 new projects over at Draycott area namely Ardmore II, Tate Residence and Arc, what are the strengths and weaknesses of each of them?
Ardmore 11
Strength: Wheelock Properties, Ardmore Address, Good Size 4 Bedroom
Weakness: There is a building in between the 2 towers, Typical Wheelock Building: White and Simple Design

Tate Residences
Strength: Claymore Address, Good Size Unit. Full Condo Facilities, 85 unit total into 2 tower. 4 bedroom is 1 unit 1 level.
Weakness: too close to Orchard Tower

Arc
Strenght: Unique Building Design
Weakness: Small Size Unit.

Ardmore 11
Strength: Wheelock Properties, Ardmore Address, Good Size 4 Bedroom
Weakness: There is a building in between the 2 towers, Typical Wheelock Building: White and Simple Design

Tate Residences
Strength: Claymore Address, Good Size Unit. Full Condo Facilities, 85 unit total into 2 tower. 4 bedroom is 1 unit 1 level.
Weakness: too close to Orchard Tower

Arc
Strenght: Unique Building Design
Weakness: Small Size Unit.

So the best would still be Tate Residences. I think Ardmore II design is average, but not nice enough. In terms of Design perhaps Arc would fare the best. Maybe you would want to group them like this:

Design: The Arc :okay: Tate Residences :okay: Ardmore II :down:

Size of unit: Tate Residences :okay: Ardmore II :okay: The Arc :down:

So in terms of all these rankings I think Tate Residences would be prefect if not for it's close distance to Orchard Towers.

Tate is indeed closer to that sleeze building. I wonder how does it affect the price, closer to main road and shopping albeit a sleezy one.

However Ardmore seems to be much more popular than the other 2. Anyone knows why? How about the interior finishing of the projects?

Seems like Arc is a little underpriced compared to Ardmore and they do not have much difference and Arc probably TOP earlier and can get rented earlier. How abt the city views between the 2 of them?

Seems like Arc is a little underpriced compared to Ardmore and they do not have much difference and Arc probably TOP earlier and can get rented earlier. How abt the city views between the 2 of them?I would think Arc as 38 Draycott is only 18 storey high at of this moment. Ardmore ii is subjected to the new 18 Anderson, Ardmore Point and Pin Tjoe Court. The 3bedroom in Arc is 1270sqft whereas 4bedroom in Ardmore ii is 2023sqft.

Tropical storm behind strongest winds to hit S'pore in 9 yrs

SINGAPORE: The National Environment Agency (NEA) says a tropical storm is the reason for the strong winds which blew into Singapore Wednesday night.

A wind speed of up to 83 kilometres per hour was recorded -- the strongest in nearly nine years.

Among the damage caused - fallen trees and a broken construction crane.

Residents of private condominium Abelia woke up to find their Ardmore Park neighbourhood, near Shangri La Hotel, behind police lines.

A construction crane at a neighbouring building had snapped into two, with most of it dangling precariously from the 30th floor.

Police say a lifting kit connected to the crane was found along the road. No one was injured.

But the Manpower Ministry has stopped work at the site while it figures out how to safely recover the crane.

It is investigating the incident, which has also attracted the attention of other builders nearby.

Tan Heok Ngee Benjamin, Project Manager, C@nspecs Pte Ltd, said: "This crane is commonly used in a lot of construction sites. So if some problem happens here, we want to see if there is anything we can do to prevent this from happening."

Officials from the building company involved, Poh Lian Construction, were tight-lipped about the incident.

Like many others across the island, residents in the neighbourhood say they experienced unusually strong winds last night.

The winds also wreaked havoc elsewhere across Singapore last night.

The NEA says the strong winds were caused by a Sumatra squall, named as such because the storm usually develops overnight in Sumatra and the Strait of Malacca, before sweeping into Singapore between midnight and daybreak.

NEA says such storms usually occur between April and September.

For the rest of the month, we can expect another one or two Sumatra squalls, but they are unlikely to be as severe as the one on Wednesday night.

I thought this project is developed by SC?
Ardmore II is by Wheelock. Former The Ardmore is by SC Global.

One unit at Ardmore II was transacted at $2,829 psf on 17th February this year.

Over at Ardmore Park, one unit was transacted at $3,688 psf on 27th January this year.

A unit at Ardmore II was transacted at $2,879 psf on 7th April this year.
