THE VERTICUS CONDOMINIUM

Freehold Singapore Balestier Condominium

Here we present the Verticus condo launch. This is a new freehold residential development at 3 Jalan Kemaman, off Balestier Road in the central District 11 Novena area.

This review will cover the features of the Verticus condominium including its design, locational attributes, and pricing ranges.

The Verticus Condo · Design

Verticus Condominium Tower

The design of this development features a single 28-storey high tower, tall enough for most of its residents to overlook or obtain views in between surrounding buildings.

Levels 1 to 4 house the multi-storey carpark, while a sky terrace sits on the 5th floor. This allows the 162 residential units to be elevated, with apartments starting from the 6th floor upwards.

The 6th floor is about 30 metres above the road level, actually equivalent to a typical 10th storey height, as normal floor to floor distance is around 3 metres.

Neighbourhood of the Verticus Condominium

The main entrance to the Verticus condo is via Jalan Kemaman, a small cul-de-sac lane serving only the buildings along this short road.

Across Jalan Kemaman at this point, are a row of one to 3 storey high terrace houses. The good thing about that is that the Verticus gets to enjoy a pretty open outlook to its front and diagonally. Particularly as even the lowest unit is already at the 6th level.

A tennis court sits at the ground level of the project. This is an unusual find, as most freehold new launches are too small to accommodate one. In this case, it is not that the site is especially big. Rather, the architect has somehow found space for it, by placing all the facilities on the sky terraces at the 5th and 14 levels.

Level 5 is the main facilities area. Here are the leisure and lap and spa pools, lounges & decks, dining pavilions and kids play areas, gardens and terraces.

While the 14th floor sky terrace are where activities of a quieter or more meditative nature are located. Like yoga and reading areas, a sky gourmet bay and chill-out terrace. And the sky gym and lounge here take advantage of the views available from this level.

Verticus Singapore · Locational Attributes

The Verticus condo is being developed by Soilbuild Group Holdings, a local integrated property group in Singapore, on the site of the freehold former Kemaman Point.

Verticus Condominium Site Location

Kemaman Point was sold to Soilbuild via a collective sale tender for redevelopment. It is situated within a mainly private residential area in Balestier, between Novena and Thomson.

Ian Loh, an executive director of Knight Frank Singapore that brokered the deal, said: “The new high-rise development will enjoy unblocked views towards Jalan Kemaman, over low-rise landed houses. We believe the new development will be sought after given the recent rejuvenation of the Balestier area, as well as the limited supply in the vicinity.”

Balestier is a pretty central location, quite close to Orchard Road and the CBD. On the whole, this estate is within 10 minutes ride from the Orchard Road downtown and 15 minutes from the CBD.

However it is an old area. So while rich in history with a great deal of character, a fair bit of it is rather run down.

Given its proximity to the city centre and the fact that much of it is freehold land, it is however, a prime candidate for rejuvenation and regeneration. As that happens, property values should rise in tandem.

Context of the Neighbourhood

In fact, pockets of that are already happening, with the Verticus condo development being the latest. In the process, hopefully some of the rich heritage of the place will be retained, along with its deserved reputation for good food.

One drawback with the Verticus condo, and this whole area for that matter, is that it is not within easy walking distance of an MRT station. The nearest station to walk to, is at Toa Payoh on the North-South line. To get to it takes almost 15 minute across the pedestrian bridge over the PIE, past Toa Payoh Town Park, to Toa Payoh town centre.

The nearest big retail centre to the Verticus condo, is at Novena MRT station. As the crow flies, around 1 km away. If you walk over via side roads, it should take about 20 minutes to cover the 1.3 km distance. Or a 5 minute drive down Thomson Road.

Over there are clustered Square 2 and Novena Square malls, with United Square slightly further down. These provide quite a good selection of eateries, shops, banking, and other services.

United Square is particularly known for its services geared to families with young children. It has quite a number of child enrichment / educational centres and outlets.

Novena is also an up and coming medical hub. It is being developed as one of Singapore’s main medical clusters, centred around Health City Novena.
