Amber Park Condo Latest Updates

Amber Park is a brand-new Freehold District 15 Condominium developed by CDL and Hong Realty. The condo is located at 16/18/18A Amber Gardens, in the sea-fronting Amber locale of Marine Parade estate.

Spanning a huge land area of 213,670 square feet and with frontage on both Amber Gardens and Amber Road, Amber Park will be one of the biggest, new freehold condominium in the Amber vicinity with such a big site area.

By virtue of its proximity to East Coast Park, South-facing high floor apartments of Amber Park would enjoy breathtaking views of the sea and all year round of sea breeze. Future residents of the Marine Parade freehold condominium can look forward to the many sporting and recreational activities that East Coast Park can offer, such as weekend strolls along the beach, having picnics in the park, cycling, and participating in water sports. Purchasers of the sea-fronting condo would enjoy the relaxing and idyllic atmosphere that residing near East Coast Park can offer.

Situated at the Rest of Core Region (RCR) of Singapore, Amber Park Condo enjoys close proximity to expressways like East Coast Parkway (ECP), Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) and Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE). With the ECP expressway just 2 minutes’ drive from Amber Park, residents of the condominium can reach the city or the airport via car within 15 minutes. Driving to MCE and KPE from the project takes just 8 minutes and 9 minutes respectively.

There is one great advantage of the Amber Park having direct access to the road Amber Gardens when driving. After exiting the road Amber Gardens into Tanjong Katong Road South, one will hit the ECP and can choose to travel either eastwards towards Changi Airport, or westwards towards the City. If one exits the road into Tanjong Katong Road South from Amber Road, one can only travel towards Changi Airport as the slip road to the City is not accessible from there. Residents staying in developments which are on Amber Road typically have to make a round turn to Amber Gardens if they wish to travel to the City.

Situated just 270 metres from the development is the Tanjong Katong MRT station, which is part of the Thomson East Coast Line, a fully underground MRT line which travels through the Northern Region, the Central Region and the Eastern Region of Singapore. This adds another convenient mode of public transportation to the residents of Amber Park, who can use it to travel to the City or Changi Airport. The capital appreciation of the property is also expected to rise in tandem with the completion of the MRT station.

Amber Park Condo will be built on the former site of the original Amber Park. CDL and Hong Realty bought the former Amber Park in an en bloc sale on Oct 2017. CDL is incidentally the developer of the original Amber Park, which is recognizable from afar by the distinctive circular balconies of every unit. Completed in 1986, the former Amber Park comprised of 200 apartments housed in two 27-Storey residential towers at 14 Amber Gardens and 16 Amber Gardens.

The new Amber Park Condo is designed by the renowned architectural firm of SCDA Architects, which is known for their works on luxurious District 9 and District 10 condominiums like Cluny Park Residences, TwentyOne Auguilla Park and Leedon Residence. Led by the famous Chan Soo Kian, one of SCDA’s more recent and outstanding works is the Frasers Property developed Rivière, an exquisite Singapore River fronting condo built on the site of the former Zouk. SCDA expertly blended the concepts of light, space, order and materiality to produce an architectural masterpiece in Rivière. The two latest residential developments by SCDA that have achieved TOP are the District 10 Condos of Cuscaden Reserve and 19 Nassim.

The Main Contractor for Amber Park is the construction firm Unison Construction Pte Ltd. The firm was founded in 2009 by a gathering of like-minded former colleagues who have vast experience in the construction business. With a past project references list inclusive of Tomlinson Heights at Tomlinson Road, Thomson Three at Bright Hill Drive and the recently TOP condominium of Principal Gardens at Prince Charles Crescent, and coupled with several accolades they have achieved in previous years, purchasers of Amber Park can be assured that the District 15 freehold development will come with excellent finishing.

Project Details

Amber Park comprises 3 residential towers, as opposed to 2 blocks in the former Amber Park. Each of the three residential block is 21-Storey high, with the communal garden on the 22nd Storey joining the top of the 3 blocks. The facilities area on the 22nd floor is aptly named “The Stratosphere” as it is perched 235 feet above sea level against the stunning backdrop of the sea. The Stratosphere will feature a 600-metre sky jogging track and unparalleled panoramic sea views from the various facilities located on the 22nd floor of Amber Park.

The District 15 condo offers choices of 1 – 5 Bedrooms, and 4 Penthouses in the development. 3 of the Penthouses are Floor Plan Type PH1, which has 6 Bedrooms and an huge area of 4,392 square feet. The other penthouse is Floor Plan Type PH2, which at 5,005 square feet, is the biggest apartment in Amber Park. The unit has 6 Bedrooms and a Study Room spread across two levels. The total number of units in the freehold development would number 592.

The expected Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) Date of Amber Park is 3rd Quarter of 2023.

Collective Sales Sites in Amber/Meyer vicinity

The en bloc sale of the original Amber Park was part of the succession of 5 collective sales that took place in the Amber/Meyer vicinity in the second half of 2017. The other four en bloc sales sites were the amalgamation of a few landed properties at Amber Road (with the new development named as Nyon Condo @ 12 Amber), Parkway Mansion (renamed as Coastline Residences), The Albracca (with One Meyer being the new condo name) and Nanak Mansions (which will be named as Meyerhouse).

Among the 5 sites, Amber Park possesses the biggest site area and naturally commands the most attention and anticipation out of the five projects.

The 5 collective sales that occurred in the second half of 2017 was subsequently followed by the acquisitions of Katong Park Towers by Bukit Sembawang in March 2018, and Casa Meyfort by Guocoland in July 2018. Both projects are in the Meyer Road vicinity.

Bukit Sembawang will launch a new development named Liv@MB on the previous site of Katong Park Towers while a new 200-unit condo named Meyer Mansion will be the successor project to the former Casa Meyfort.

Culinary Options

Amber Park is blessed by the wide variety of food choices surrounding the condo. Restaurants housed in shophouses in the precincts of Joo Chiat, Tanjong Katong, and Katong offer sumptuous Peranakan food, especially Katong Laksa. The multitude of Peranakan cuisine available is due to the area being selected by wealthy Peranakans to reside in from the early to mid 20th century.

The vicinity of the freehold condo also offers many types of delicious food besides Nyonya food. A famous chicken rice stall can be found in the basement food court of Katong Shopping Centre. There are a few food stalls in Joo Chiat vying to serve the best wanton mee in the East. One can sample the tasty Yong Tau Fu from the famous Ampang Niang Tou Fu. The unparalleled Beach Road Prawn Noodle with its strong and flavorful soup base can also be found nearby at East Coast Road.

The development is situated near the iconic Marine Parade Central Market and Food Centre, which is located at 84 Marine Parade Central. Some of the must-visit hawker stalls serving sumptuous food include Apollo Fresh Cockle Fried Kway Teow, D’Authentic Nasi Lemak, Neptune Hong Kong Dim Sum and Xin Long Cooked Food.

The condo is located near the highly popular Parkway Parade, which is one of Singapore’s biggest suburban shopping centres. The shopping mall has a retail space of approximately 565,697 square feet and offers shoppers a myriad of dining options through the Food Republic food court at the basement, and restaurants like Putien, Treasures Yi Dian Xin, Sushiro, Swensen’s and Jack’s Place.

Schools around project

There are several good schools near Amber Park for parents to choose from.

For primary schools, within 1 kilometre of the condominium is Tanjong Katong Primary School.

For excellent secondary schools, there are Tanjong Katong Secondary School, Chueng Cheng High School (Main) and the leading school of Dunman High School to make a selection from. Dunman High School offers both the Special Assistance Plan (SAP) and the Integrated Programme, which is a 6-year curriculum allowing students to skip the GCE O-level examination in the 4th year and proceed to take the GCE A-level examination at the end of Year 6.

Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Master Plan

Amber Park is strategically located in the East Coast of Singapore under Marine Parade Estate. The Marine Parade estate is situated near the Central Business District (CBD) of Singapore and lies west of Bedok, which is a mature estate in District 16 and has 3 shopping centres – Bedok Mall, Bedok Point and Djitsun Mall Bedok.

The estates of Marine Parade and Geylang, which together make up the Geylang/ Marine Parade Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Planning Area of Singapore, are two of the most mature estates in the country. The Singapore Government has made plans to regenerate the two established estates with the addition of commercial projects, retail shopping areas and neighbourhood parks.

Paya Lebar Central, located just 2.5km from Amber Park, has been selected as a new sub-regional centre. One of the biggest projects at Paya Lebar Central is Paya Lebar Quarter, a Mega Integrated Development which is linked to Paya Lebar MRT Interchange. The integrated mixed-use project comprises of 3 commercial towers, a brand-new condo named Park Place Residences at PLQ and a new shopping mall called PLQ Mall. The offices in Paya Lebar Quarter are Grade A offices, which will feature the highest quality tenants. When the offices which have a total area close to 1 million square feet are fully operational, there would be a large pool of expats seeking accommodation and Amber Park would be a principal beneficiary.

The completions of all these plans would help in the capital appreciation of Amber Park.
