Major Employment Hubs Near Sky Eden @ Bedok

Changi Region Master Plan

Changi Region Master Plan

According to the Changi Region Master Plan, it will be transformed into a thriving economic hub with the development of the Changi Terminal 5, Changi East Industrial Zone, Changi East Urban District, and Changi Aviation Park. They are part of the major transformation in the East Region.

The mega Changi Terminal 5, which is the size of Terminal 1,2 and 3 combined, is expected to be completed by mid-2030 after construction was being delayed by the covid-19 pandemic.

These major hubs are envisaged to boost Singapore’s aviation and freight transportation industries. This will result in bringing more jobs to homes in the East Region, which will in turn spur demand for housing.

With Sky Eden @ Bedok condo having direct access to the Changi Airport and it is just three MRT stations away, this will give homebuyers and property investors the first-mover advantage.

Meanwhile, there are already several major employment hubs nearby - Tampines Regional Centre, Pasir Ris Wafer Fabrication Park, and Loyang Data Centre. As they can be easily reached by public transport, they offer a good catchment of potential tenants for those looking for investment.

 

Conclusion – Is Sky Eden A Viable Property Investment?

If buying for own stay, Sky Eden @ Bedok offers many living conveniences. They include the following:

  • 4 minutes’ walk to the Bedok MRT station and bus interchange, providing easy access to many parts of Singapore
  • Located within Bedok Central, offering residents a plethora of amenities
  • Close to many shopping malls and interesting food places
  • Convenient access to many popular schools
  • Near Bedok Reservoir Park and East Coast Park
  • Work near major employment hubs

However, like any property investment, the entry price will be one of the major considerations.

With Sceneca Residence likely to be launched before the year-end, it would offer an alternative to Sky Eden @ Bedok, which can only benefit property buyers or investors as there will be competition between developers.

However, Sceneca Residence, which is also a mixed-use development and just one train stop away, will be directly linked to the Tanah Merah MRT station. On the other hand, Sky Eden @ Bedok is 4 minutes’ walk to the Bedok MRT station, but has the advantage being located within the Bedok Town Centre and enjoys easy access to a plethora of amenities.

Although the pricing for both projects have not been released yet, the Sceneca Residence is estimated to be launched from $1,8xx psf on average (based on its land rate of $930 psf ppr). Hence, Sky Eden @ Bedok could be launched around similar levels.

Should it be launched at a lower price, it would offer a great buy since other upcoming new launches in the Outside Central Region (OCR) will be selling higher due to the escalation of land prices in the last 1-2 years.

To recap, the following are the recent land prices:

  • Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 - $1,118 psf ppr (estimated launch price around $2,1xx psf)
  • Lentor Central – $1,204 psf ppr (estimated launch price around $2,2xx psf)
  • Lentor Hills Road (Parcel A) – $1,060 psf ppr (estimated launch price around $2,xxx psf)
  • Dairy Farm Walk – $980 psf ppr (estimated launch around $1,9xx psf)

 

Bedok Property Price Trend

The last new launch in Bedok is Grandeur Park Residences about 5 years ago, a purely residential development. Hence, some pent-up demand could be seen. To examine how properties in Bedok have performed, let’s examine how it has performed together with Bedok Residences, an integrated development.

Price Trend - Bedok Residences versus Grandeur Park Residences

Price Trend - Bedok Residences versus Grandeur Park Residences

As for Bedok Residences, which was launched in November 2011 at an average price $1,346 psf, it has appreciated by 17.09%.

Despite being an older development, Bedok Residences has outperformed, attesting to the allure of an integrated development and the convenience it offers.

However, Sky Eden @ Bedok is neither an integrated nor purely residential development, but a mixed-use development with some commercial outlets at its first floor.

Nevertheless, properties in Bedok have performed quite well overall, as can be seen from the above chart. If Sky Eden @ Bedok is priced right, it could certainly offer an attractive investment option.

In terms rental, Bedok Residences and Grandeur Park Residences have achieved average rental yields of 3.3% and 3.7% respectively. These are very decent levels and are comparable or even higher than most properties in prime District 9.
