PICCADILLY GRAND . PICCADILLY GALLERIA

The Piccadilly Grand condominium, with its Piccadilly Galleria shops, is an upcoming integrated development at Northumberland Road, at the city fringe on the outskirts of Orchard Road. It occupies a convenient site right beside, and directly linked to Farrer Park MRT station. It is being developed by a joint venture of two branded Singapore developers, City Developments and MCL Land.

Taking its cue from nearby roads named after English counties and boroughs, like Hampshire, Birch, Rutland and Northumberland, this mixed development will be styled as Piccadilly Galleria for the retail ground floor level, and Piccadilly Grand for the residential component.

The Piccadilly Grand condo, complete with communal facilities, is set out in three towers, each 23 storeys high. These house a total of 407 apartments, ranging from one bedders to 5 bedroom units.

Piccadilly Grand Towers and Piccadilly Galleria

At the first storey, Piccadilly Galleria will comprise retail units that include food & beverage joints, and a childcare centre.

It will directly connect to Farrer Park MRT station as well, at exit E of the station. Which gives it some of the much touted benefits of integrated developments, like sheltered access to the MRT network besides its own shops.

Underground through the station, it is also linked to nearby centres such as City Square Mall & Connexion. In addition to which the Mustafa Centre is roughly 5 minutes walk away. Mustafa is well-known as a one-stop shopping complex, that sells practically anything and everything one could possibly want or need.

Piccadilly Grand at Northumberland Road . Neighbourhood

The site itself is nestled in an old residential enclave of Singapore, replete with road names that call to mind its colonial past. Names like Gloucester, Worcester, Dorset, Rutland, Norfolk, Kent, and Hampshire, not to mention Northumberland itself.

It is also flanked by the conservation shophouses of Little India at Race Course Road. Vibrant, colourful, steeped in heritage, rich in character. This precinct that borders the Little India district, is all that, and more.

If you would like to live in a bustling, energetic neighbourhood that combines the diversity of old historic landmarks and architecture, with the conveniences of the bright and modern, then this place may be for you.

Alongside the inevitable gentrification that should take place in years to come given the value of real estate so close to the city centre, this area also holds plenty of upside potential.

As it is, there has already been a fair bit of redevelopment going on. Apart from a number of new homes, medical facilities such as the Farrer Park Hospital & Medical Centre at Connexion next door have recently sprouted up.

This estate also boasts a proliferation of hotels, hostels, and serviced apartments, that testify to the strength of rental demand here. Like Parkroyal on Kitchener Road, Park Hotel Farrer Park, Fortuna Hotel, The Claremont, and the recently completed lyf Farrer Park.

The Piccadilly Grand Condo . Locational Highlights

1. Proximity to the city centre. Sited on the city fringe just outside the Little India Historic District, close to Orchard Road and the Central Business District (CBD).
2. In a vibrant up-and-coming neighbourhood that blends a rich diversity of architecture and cultural landmarks. From conservation shophouses to brand new hotels and medical centres, supported by lots of retail and dining options.
3. Direct covered link to Farrer Park MRT station and network on its doorstep, hence excellent connectivity island-wide.
4. Five minutes train ride to Doby Ghaut station, and 8 minutes to Clarke Quay station that is within walking distance of the Financial District.
5. Given its convenience to the city centre but at a lower pricing level, there is strong rental demand hereabouts. Which could make it attractive for investors.
6. The immediate area around the site is slated for redevelopment. Together with the gradual refurbishment and gentrification of the conservation shophouses across the road eventually, this whole place could turn into a very attractive neighbourhood indeed.

The Piccadilly Grand Condominium . Likely Demand

Demand for this project could be fairly decent, for a number of reasons.

The main one is that there is almost no competition for new units in the area.

The only other launch project in the vicinity is Uptown at Farrer, also a mixed development close to Farrer Park MRT station. Uptown is already over 90% sold, with only 3 units left out of its total 116 residential units.

As these three are pricey ground floor or duplex units, there could be pent up demand for more standard apartment types here.

Another is that the Piccadilly Grand condo is a nice mid-size project. It will have 407 units, which makes it a very good size for a condominium. Big enough to offer all the standard condominium facilities, but not too overwhelmingly so or busy.

The size is also important come resale time down the road, as it is big enough to generate a healthy level of sale and rental transactions.

Furthermore, this project is a mixed development, and very conveniently located. It has sheltered access to Farrer MRT station within two stops of Doby Ghaut station in Orchard Road.

The developers, CDL and MCL Land, are also well-regarded, which is often important when re-selling too. Hence we could see some encouraging response at the launch.

An analysis of the Piccadilly Grand floor plans shows them to have among the most efficient and functional layouts of new launches.

There is minimal space wastage or odd corners. And a few of the designs offer some truly deft touches.

Below are example floor plans out of the 29 layouts in the project.

Piccadilly Grand Condo Floor Plan . One Bedroom + Study Type A3S

The study for this one bedroom unit could be extended slightly to make it long enough to place a single bed. So you could do a pull-down or bunk bed for guests perhaps, while still having your study for work-at-home purposes.

And in so doing, it would create a recessed area at the main door, just handy for a shoe cabinet.

::

Piccadilly Grand Floor Plans . 2 Bedroom + Study Type B2S

This is arguably one of the best 2 bedroom + study new layouts in a long time.

The kitchen occupies its own corner, and comes with a window. The study and bathrooms are similarly naturally ventilated. The dining and living areas are separate.

The master bedroom can fit a king-sized bed, while the common bedroom can accommodate a queen-sized bed. The air-con ledge is tucked away in one corner.

All that in a total floor area of just 678 sq ft, by doing away with a balcony. So if you are not a balcony-lover, this could be for you.

Piccadilly Grand Floor Plan . 2 Bedroom + Study Type B4S

If you prefer a balcony, this layout is a good alternative. The kitchen and study don’t have their own windows, but are open plan, together with the dining and living areas.

This creates a pretty spacious feel, especially as it is a dumb-bell layout. The other advantage is that the common bedroom is semi-ensuite.

Piccadilly Grand Floor Plan . 4 Bedroom Dual Key Type D3DK

If you want a home plus rental income or granny flat, this 4 bedroom dual key is really worth considering. Here you get a full-fledged 3 bedroom unit together with a very liveable studio unit, on one stamp duty.

The 3 bedder comes complete with wet and dry kitchen, storeroom (home shelter), and naturally ventilated bathrooms & yard. The studio unit has its own kitchenette, and even its own balcony, so it won’t feel claustrophobic.
