THE ANTARES CONDOMINIUM
Residences @ Mattar MRT Station
The Antares condo is a brand new high-rise residential development on the doorstep of Mattar MRT Station on the Downtown Line. It even has its own sheltered linkway to the station provided by LTA.
This is a mid-sized project, only 265 units, being built by FSKH Development, a consortium of Keong Hong Holdings, Hock Lian Seng Holdings and TA Corporation.
The consortium won the Antares condo site in a hotly contested tender for this Government Land Sale (GLS) parcel of land. The tender drew a high number of 10 bids, with the top 5 being within an unusually narrow 5 per cent price band.
That can possibly be attributed to limited new residential land available near Mattar MRT station, and its proximity to the growing Paya Lebar commercial cluster.

Mattar Road is a quiet road off Aljunied Road, between Potong Pasir and Paya Lebar, but closer to the Paya Lebar side. The buildings along this road are generally low-rise, and it is not a very built-up area.
On the map it looks like the KPE (Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway) runs nearby to the Antares condo, but that is actually underground, beneath Pelton Canal.

About the Antares Singapore Neighbourhood
The Antares Condo . Location View
This is a city fringe site, located in what is commonly labelled as the Rest of Central Region or RCR zone. Within the immediate vicinity of the Antares Singapore, are a couple of churches and two primary schools.
Across the canal, that can be crossed by a footbridge, we have the amenities of Circuit Road that include markets and food centres.
Of interest as well, is the fact that the Mattar Road / Aljunied area lies between two increasingly important neighbourhoods. To the north-west is the Potong Pasir / Woodleigh area, where the new Bidadari Estate is being built, in tandem with the rejuvenation of Potong Pasir.

To the south-east, we have the development of the Paya Lebar Commercial Hub. Paya Lebar has been identified under URA’s urban regeneration master plan to be a vibrant, integrated commercial node with retail spaces, offices, and attractive public squares bustling with activity.
In line with that, Paya Lebar Square has already been completed. Paya Lebar Quarter, a mixed development comprising Grade A offices, a 7 storey retail mall, and residential apartments will complete soon. Once that is ready, it is expected to increase the workforce, and hence need for accommodation around this location.

The Antares Site and MRT Location
The Antares Singapore site is an irregular, almost L-shaped plot, at a bend of Mattar Road. It hugs the south and east of the St Stephen’s Church building, and is flanked on its own west side by the Grace Baptist Church.
Across the curve of Mattar Road, units of the Antares condo facing south will overlook the low-rise Andrew & Grace Home. The parcel of land to the east, bordering the Pelton Canal, is empty right now. While it is zoned as residential land, there are no plans currently to develop it, so it could remain empty for some time to come.
And to the north of the site, in almost literally like a minute’s walk, we have exit B of Mattar MRT station on the Downtown Line.

FSKH Development topped the bidding for this 67,061 square foot GLS site with an offer of SGD$223,019,000. The purchase price for the land works out to a land rate of $1,109 per square foot per plot ratio (PSF PPR).
That was based on the plot ratio of 3 for the site, that works out to permissible total gross floor area of 201,185 sq ft.
After factoring in all the development, overhead, marketing and financing costs, analysts have estimated a break-even of close to $1,700 PSF PPR. What FSKH Development will sell at is still under consideration.

The Antares Condo Location · Features
The Antares Location & Amenities
- Location. The Antares condo location is a city fringe site at Mattar Road, off Aljunied Road. This is a low-rise area, across Pelton Canal from MacPherson Garden at Circuit Road, an established residential estate.
-
Nearest MRT Station. From the nearest boundary of the Antares condo site, is something like 60 metres to exit B of Mattar MRT station on the Downtown Line. That is practically on the doorstep of a station, without actually sitting on it.
One stop down this line is MacPherson station, an interchange with the Circle Line that is also one stop from Paya Lebar interchange station. Upline, it goes to Fort Canning, Telok Ayer, and the Marina Bay Financial District, before turning up to Bugis and the Bukit Timah area.
-
Shops, F&B, Markets. There are no major shopping centres within walking distance of the Antares location, but within a short walk are the markets, food centres and neighbourhood shops that MacPherson Garden is well supplied with.
And if you don’t mind taking the train, a couple of stops will bring you to a major shopping and dining node at Paya Lebar station. Here you will find Paya Lebar Square, and the soon-to-complete Paya Lebar Quarter, with its 7-storey mall and 3 blocks of Grade A offices. And it is actually very convenient to do so too. Just hop onto the train at Mattar station, and change at MacPherson station to the Circle Line.
-
Schools. There are two primary schools within 1 km. MacPherson Primary is less than 200 metres down Mattar Road. While Canossa Convent Primary is also within walking distance around the corner, 400 metres away at Salim Road, a pleasant cul-de-sac lane with a row of houses along one side facing the school on the other.
In the vicinity we have Cedar Girls’ Primary and Secondary schools too within 2 km, at Cedar Avenue up Aljunied Road. James Cook University Singapore (Sims Drive Campus) and the Nexus International School (Aljunied Campus, ready 2020) are close by to the Antares condo location as well.
- Accessibility. The Antares location is considered quite central. From Aljunied it is roughly 15 minutes drive to the city centre. You can also get onto the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) and Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) within 10 minutes drive, off-peak.
