REGISTER FOR VIP PREVIEW . BY UOL + KHENG LEONG

Welcome to the AMO Residence condo, a new private residential development being built at Ang Mo Kio Rise, off Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1.

This high-rise condominium is being launched for sale by United Venture Development (2021) Pte Ltd, a joint venture of UOL Group Limited, with Kheng Leong Company, and Singapore Land Group (former UIC), all of which rank as among the most noteworthy of Singapore’s developers.

It occupies quite an attractive site, located as it is within the popular and mature HDB residential estate of Ang Mo Kio. Especially as it sits opposite Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, and within a short walk of Mayflower MRT station.

The two residential towers are set out side-by-side and staggered, so that they do not overlook or block each other. Instead they are angled to maximise the surrounding views, especially the unobstructed views over the landed estate to the north and west, towards the nature parks and Peirce Reservoir.

AMO Residence @ Ang Mo Kio . The Vision

The AMO Residences condo is the latest in the long line of UOL’s Masterpiece Homes, after the successful launches of Watergardens at Canberra, and Avenue South Residence. UOL has crafted this Masterpiece Series to revolve round quality homes nestled in beautifully landscaped grounds and gardens.

For AMO condo, the landscape will consist of axes juxtaposed in the minimalist art style of the De Stijl movement. Then, organic lines typical of nature will be overlaid on the composition. A sense of closeness with nature will pervade the site through the resulting organic forms, where water and planting inter-play.

As explained by UOL’s chief investment and asset officer Jesline Goh:

“We plan to develop a 24-25 storey project of more than 370 units that will enjoy unblocked views of the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, Lower Peirce Reservoir Park and Shangri-la Park landed housing estate. It is a timely replenishment for our land bank…As this is the latest Government Land Sales site in Ang Mo Kio in the last seven years, we believe there will be healthy demand for the project.”

UOL’s projects have tended to sell well, with most of them fully sold, or close to doing so. Even those in rather less than exciting locations, or not walking distance from MRT stations.

One reason could be their very attractive landscaping. Or UOL’s reputation for quality. And their usually fair pricing. Or possibly a combination of these factors.

Examples of those that have sold out are The Tre Ver by Kallang River, Amber 45 in Katong, Botanique at Bartley set amidst terraced grounds, Principal Garden notable for its expanse of lawns, and Clement Canopy with its greenery.

UOL is also known to place a lot of emphasis on architecture and design, and can draw upon a wealth of experience and expertise in the industry. This is manifested in the homes they create with their functional layouts, and in the attention to detail that is shown.

In the case of the AMO condo, it possesses the added advantage of being within 5 minutes walk of Mayflower MRT station. As well as within 1 km of two highly-regarded primary schools, CHIJ St Nicholas, and Ai Tong.

The AMO Condo . Features

The development is located in Ang Mo Kio, one of the most popular and mature HDB townships. Hence the name “Amo”. Incidentally, amo is “love” in Spanish and Italian. In this case, perhaps a home to love.

This estate is sandwiched between the Serangoon Gardens landed housing estate on its east, and Thomson and the Central Water Catchment area to its west.

AMO Residence Location Plan in Singapore by UOL . Not to Scale

Being a mature estate, new land parcels within Ang Mo Kio itself are not easy to come by. The last launch here was for Panorama condominium in January 2014, more than eight years ago.

The AMO Residence is therefore expected to generate a fair bit of interest. Particularly from households in Ang Mo Kio / Bishan looking to upgrade to private housing in an area they are familiar with. Ang Mo Kio alone has more than 143,000 residents, while Bishan has a resident population of over 63,200. So there should be no shortage of demand, including from newly formed nuclear families.

It is not surprising then, that the URA GLS (government land sale) tender for this site was hotly contested. It drew 15 bids from developers, with a top bid of $381.38 million by United Venture Development. This works out to around $1,118 per square foot per plot ratio (PSF PPR) for the land alone.

Once we add in construction and other related development costs, the average selling price could possibly go above $1,9xx PSF. Compared to the $1,2xx PSF launch price for Panorama eight years ago, that’s an almost 60% jump.

AMO Residences Singapore . Highlights

This project is bordered on its west by the low-rise landed housing of Shangri-la Park, and beyond, all the way to Upper Thomson Road. Across that, is Lower Peirce Reservoir Park, and Peirce Reservoir.

UOL intends to capitalise on the clear unblocked views over the landed estate, to the park and reservoir in this direction. The views here should be especially soothing: lush green secondary forests and tree canopies, framing the blue of Peirce reservoir.

There are also open views to the south currently, towards Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park. However this could become partly blocked in future by new developments.

Whatever the case, AMO Residences’ proximity to both parks does offer residents plenty of scope for recreation and relaxation. For instance, hiking trails and boardwalks at the reservoir can provide a “back to nature” respite from the crowdedness of urban life. Actually, just a simple walk or rest by the soothing waters of the reservoir is already a great de-stresser.

Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park . Across Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1

As for Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, this is one of the largest man-made parks in Singapore. Its award-winning landscaping, with gardens and a 3-km long meandering stream, is popular with residents hereabouts for walks and exercising.

The AMO Condo @ Ang Mo Kio . Connectivity

Being located in a mature estate means it comes with a pretty complete suite of amenities too. Both now, and in the future, with upcoming ones being added.

The AMO condo itself is 5 minutes walk from Mayflower MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL), that opened not too long ago. This line is being extended in stages, and will eventually provide direct access to the city and east Singapore. It will shorten commute time to places like Orchard Road, Shenton Way, Marina Bay, and East Coast Park.

The Thomson-East Coast Line Features

The next station on the line, at Bright Hill, is an interchange station joining the upcoming Cross-Island Line (CRL). The CRL will cut through Ang Mo Kio estate too, with two stops within it. One of them is the Ang Mo Kio Central station, that is also an interchange station with the North-South line.

The CRL will be the longest fully underground MRT line in Singapore, at over 50 KM long. This new line will connect to major hubs stretching from Jurong in the west, to Changi in the east. It will offer a more direct route to various destinations, as it links to most of the other MRT lines along its way.

The other major addition to the public transport infrastructure here, is the upcoming North-South Corridor that is currently under construction. Expected to complete by 2026, this new 21.5km long expressway will connect the northern region with the city centre, passing close by the AMO Residence location. It should help lighten the traffic load, and alleviate jams, on the CTE.

AMO Residence Condominium . Amenities

One of the advantages of being located in an established area, is that it is well-supported with shopping options. Apart from the neighbourhood shops, there is Kebun Baru Market and Food Centre within walking distance.

Within the estate, the largest shopping centre is AMK Hub, about 2 KM down Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3. This 48,250 square metre mall offers a comprehensive retail mix with over 200 shops, and a Fairprice Xtra outlet, one of the largest hypermarts in Singapore.

Given URA’s plans for more housing to be added in the vicinity, both at Kebun Baru itself, and at the new Lentor Hills Estate nearby, more buzz is expected to be generated in the neighbourhood. Along with that should come even more supporting amenities.

This project could likely interest families with school-going children too. Besides CHIJ St Nicholas within walking distance, and Ai Tong one train stop down, there are several other schools around.
