Transforming Bishan: Many of the condo units will have 'sky gardens'
A unique architectural feature in the new development is the provision of private garden spaces for a large number of the condominium units. Its 'sky gardens' will also offer opportunities for commonly shared garden and leisure spaces for the residents.
No stranger to the architecture industry, Mr Safdie's company Safdie Architects has been responsible for designing the mixed-use Marina Bay Sands integrated resort.
CapitaLand Residential Singapore CEO Wong Heang Fine said: 'When completed, the strong architectural form of the condominium will be a landmark in Bishan, transforming its urban landscape.'
CapitaLand has partnered Japan's Mitsubishi Estate Asia, a wholly- owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Estate Co, in a 75-25 partnership.
CapitaLand will be the lead development manager for the project, responsible for the full spectrum of sales and marketing, product design and development, and project management.
Located near Bishan MRT Station and Junction 8 mall, the proposed condo will have about 540 units spread across two 38-storey towers.
Sitting on a 129,137 square foot site, the 99-year leasehold condo has an estimated gross floor area of about 632,770 sq ft.
In February, CapitaLand clinched the Bishan site at $869 per square foot (psf) of potential gross floor area.
For it to break even, property consultants estimate that the condo units need to be sold at $1,300 psf. The condominium is expected to be launched in the first half of 2012.
