Breakfast in bed at The Residences at W Singapore, Sentosa



The Residences at W looks awesome! Why?

  • Apparently, shared concierge services with the luxury W Hotel
  • Next to Sentosa Cove arrival plaza (North Cove)
  • Beside Retail & F&B on Sentosa Island
  • View of marina
  • Beside One Degree 15 Marina Club

Now the only thing missing is its own beach front!


The Residences at W is located next to the luxury W hotel, along the northern cove.


The W Hotel is expected to be opening in 2012.

Gosh. Imagine living in a condo (next to a hotel) with all your hotel concierge/room services plus buggy drivers, pool attendants, security guards and berthing facilities (34 berths, ~$3,000 a year)! While you probably will pay through your nose for hotel standard room service breakfast, if you can live there you sure can afford it.

Also, the Hotel & Residences' Clubhouse will be linked through a basement connection. Finally monthly maintainence fees are going somewhere useful (anyone knows how much?).

Well sorry we got caught up in all of that, now lets get to the details:

Tenure: 99 years with effect from 31 Oct 2006
District: 4
Developer: Cityview Place Holdings Pte Ltd (City Development Limited)
Site Area: ~23,263.40 sqm / 250,407 sqft
Plot Ratio: 1.6
Estimated TOP: 30 Oct 2012
Blocks: 7
Floors: 6
Units: 244 total, 2BR(42), 3BR(86), 4BR(66), PH(34)

Notable Facilities:
  • Concierge Services (W Hotel)
  • Clubhouse (linked to hotel?)
  • Gym
  • Jacuzzi
  • Steam bath
  • BBQ
  • Pool
  • Berths




~Unit Sizes:
  • 2BR (1,227 and 1,292 sqft)
  • 3BR (1,625 and 2,616 sqft)
  • 4BR (2,067 and 2,486 sqft)
  • PH various (2,217 and 6,297 sqft)

The 2BR apartments seem yummy, although they are sized more like standard 3BR. The biggest Penthouse is touted to have 5 bedrooms and is huge at 6,297 sqft. FYI it seems like there is only Normal Progressive Payment, and the payment schedule is already halfway into itself.

So how? Want something really different in Singapore? Then check out the W Residences! And if you are going to rattle on about the negatives living in a 'condotel' *yawn* we heard it all before already!!!

Singapore property developers cautious about market outlook

SINGAPORE : Property developers seem pessimistic about the outlook for Singapore's real estate market in 2012, with some analysts foreseeing a five to ten percent drop in property prices this year. But market watchers also say the strong interest in recent property launches could defy these forecasts and even lead to more cooling measures. Celebrations continue but property developers are still in the dark about the outlook for Singapore's property market in 2012. Mr Wong Heang Fine, President, Real Estate Developer's Association of Singapore, said: "We are cautious. On the market going forward, it all depends on how the global economy goes in the next eleven months. So it's really anybody's guess." URA data shows the rate of price increase for private residential properties moderating for the ninth consecutive quarter with rentals also tapering off.  More details at  http://www.channelnewsasia.com Source : MediaCorp Pte Ltd by Yvon

HDB upgraders set pace in private property market

SINGAPORE: The private residential market saw a rebound in September. Figures released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Monday showed 2,064 units, including executive condominiums (ECs), were transacted. This is the highest number of monthly transactions this year and a significant 26 per cent increase from August's 1,638 units. Treasure Trove, a development in Punggol, accounted for about 40 per cent of the transactions with more than 680 units sold. PropNex Realty said the homebuyers are mainly HDB upgraders, attracted to the pricing and the proximity of the development to the Punggol MRT. It said the revision of income ceiling had prompted many to purchase ECs.   More details at  http://www.channelnewsasia.com Source : MediaCorp Pte Ltd
