Special Feature: Sky Eden @ Bedok, Where Convenience And Vibrancy Converge

A new project in the heart of Bedok looks set to catch the eye of home buyers and investors. One could say Sky Eden @ Bedok pretty much has every need covered – proximity to retail options, famous eateries, greenery, recreation and sports facilities, schools, and convenient access to the MRT station. The development even has an impressive address, 1 Bedok Central.

Sky Eden @ Bedok, a mixed-use development sits on the site of the former Bedok Point Mall. It will offer 158 residential units, spanning from 2- to 4-bedroom apartments, with 12 commercial units on the ground floor. Buying interest is expected to be keen, given the project’s strategic location and limited mass market new launches this year.

Developed by Chempaka Development (a subsidiary of Frasers Property), the 99-year leasehold Sky Eden @ Bedok will be the first non-landed private residential project to be launched in Bedok Central in about 11 years – since Bedok Residences was put on the market in 2011. As such, it would be an eagerly anticipated new launch that is likely to see pent-up demand spurring sales. In November 2011, the 583-unit Bedok Residences sold more than 350 units on the first day of launch.

Bedok Central is a hive of activity where residents and visitors shop for their daily necessities, feast on hawker fare, and where shop keepers and vendors ply their trade.

And all these are within walking distance from Sky Eden @ Bedok.

Located within a 3-minute walk from the Bedok MRT station on the East-West Line and the bus interchange, residents at Sky Eden @ Bedok will enjoy direct access to various key employment hubs such as in, Tampines, Paya Lebar, Raffles Place, and Jurong East. The commute to work in the central business district will take about 25 minutes via the MRT, while it is a short train ride of less than 15 minutes to offices in Paya Lebar and Tampines regional centres. For drivers, the Pan Island Expressway and the East Coast Parkway are also easily accessible via Bedok North Avenue 3 and Bedok South Avenue 1 respectively.

In addition, the development is also situated near the Changi Business Park, which is home to many technology firms and financial services companies. Meanwhile, the expansion of the Changi Airport and the growth of new aviation-related industries will also inject vibrancy to the Eastern part of Singapore. These initiatives could potentially enlarge the leasing demand for homes in Bedok and nearby towns.
