Not Known Facts About The Continuum Condo
Not Known Facts About The Continuum Condo
Nestled in the prime District 15 in the East, The Continuum is
located along Thiam Siew Avenue, engulfed by Tanjong Katong Road and Haig Road.
It is a new freehold residential development that spans 269,995 sqft of land.
The residence offers 816 condominium units with 1 to 5-bedroom layouts and a
wide array of indoor and outdoor amenities.
Welcome to the Continuum Preview Launch starting 21 April 2023
from S$1.448M up. This is a new upcoming freehold residential development for
sale at Thiam Siew Avenue in the Katong neighbourhood of Singapore.
It is one of the most attractive projects on the market
currently, and definitely merits a viewing. Besides its location in Katong, and
freehold status, the site layout has a number of interesting features and nice
touches. The units themselves are also really well done – functional,
efficient, and with a certain appeal.
Drop by to take a look at the showflat, and see what we mean.
Katong is considered part of the prime East Coast area and falls
under District 15, within the Marine Parade Planning Area. This lies in the RCR
(Rest of Central Region) zone as defined by URA. It is hence relatively close
to the city centre, and the central financial and business districts of Marina
Bay and Raffles Place.
The other big advantage that Continuum has, is that, at 816
units, it is unusually large for a freehold site. Such large freehold sites are
prized for good reason, as they hold better value long term.
The developer for this project is a collaboration of long term
partners, Sunway Developments and Hoi Hup Realty. (Their last launches were Ki
Residences near Sunset Way, and Terra Hill at Pasir Panjang.)
The Continuum Singapore . Overview
In the case of the Continuum condo, it stands out for possessing
the largest freehold land area in recent times. With 269,995 square feet of
land, it can accommodate 816 apartments, making it one of the biggest freehold
condos around.
While freehold condominium launches are not very rare, most are
on the smaller side, usually under 100 units. That’s because freehold sites
only come about through collective or en-bloc sales of old freehold projects or
individual bungalows.
The Continum Condo Location
Small freehold sites, however, lack the grounds for lots of
facilities and gardens. They also lack the scale to generate an appreciable
volume of turnover for rentals and resale, and so typically enjoy less demand
than for larger ones.
Transaction volume is important. For prices to move, there must
be an ongoing flow of recent transactions. Banks value a development based on
the latest transacted prices. If transactions are few and far between, their
assessed values would not rise as quickly.
Which is why, freehold launches with over 200 units that are
rarer, like the Continuum condo, attract much more attention. The
more units there are, the more active and vibrant a rental and resale market
later. There is enough critical mass to command interest.
Artist’s Impression . The Continuum Condo
The façade features full height glass curtain walls & large
picture-frame windows, to accentuate the height and make the most of the views.
The Land for the Continuum Condo Site
The reason for the land size is because it actually comprises
two large development plots. They, in turn, are aggregated from 22 freehold
pre-war semi-detached houses and bungalows flanking both sides of Thiam Siew
Avenue, a residential street of landed homes beside Tanjong Katong Road.
These plum sites all belonged to a single family trust. The
trust sold the plots via public tender in November 2021, to Hoi Hup Sunway
Developments for S$815 million.
According to Galven Tan, Deputy Managing Director of Savills
Singapore that brokered the deal, Thiam Siew Avenue is a popular and mature
neighbourhood and the site a highly coveted one.
Wong Swee Chun, the managing director and chairman of Hoi Hup
Realty, said they were interested as the sites are rare freehold ones in east
Singapore. He elaborated further to say, “In today’s competitive real estate
market, we are very confident of the demand for quality freehold developments,
especially for these big freehold plots in District 15.”
