Tenet EC Excellent Transport Connectivity
Residents of tenet EC will have to bear with some inconveniences initially as the Tampines integrated transport hub, which include the Tampines North MRT station on the Cross Island Line (Phase 1), will only be completed in 2029.

Phase 1 of the Cross Island Line (CRL) will comprise 12 stations stretching from Changi Aviation Park to Bright Hill. It will help to provide seamless inter-modal transfers and enhance accessibility to many parts of Singapore and major economic hubs.

Together, they provide faster and more pleasant journeys. For example, the Punggol Digital District, Paya Lebar Airbase, and Changi Airport, which will be major employment hubs, are only a 12-19 minutes’ drive away.
Proximity to Nature Parks Adds to Tenet EC's Appeal
A substantial amount of land will be set aside for parks in Tampines North, envisioned as the “green shoot” and an extension of the Tampines housing estate. Two new parks have been planned, adding to the abundance of nature parks already present.
Apart from these two major parks, there will also be smaller ones scattered across the estate. They will be linked to one another by a network of pedestrian and cycling paths, as well as park connectors, that will weave through the entire housing districts.
This is part of the plan to develop Tampines North into a car-lite housing estate.

Major Employment Hubs to Boost Tenet EC's Investment Potential
Tenet EC will enjoy convenient access to several major employment hubs in the East due to its excellent public transport network. Being a short walk to the upcoming Tampines North integrated transport hub, many of them are just a short train ride away. These include the following:
Tampines Regional Centre – It is not just home to several big shopping malls, it is also a vibrant commercial centre where many international banks have set up operations. These include OCBC, DBS, UOB, Citibank and Standard Chartered. Beside banks, there are also many major corporations that have set up their business there. These include AIA, NTUC Income and the CPF Board. No wonder it has been dubbed the CBD of the East.
Changi Region – The Changi region masterplan will capitalise on its strategic location near Changi Airport to create a vibrant and thriving economic hub. It will include key districts such the Changi Business Park, Changi City, Changi East Urban District and Changi Aviation Park. Together, they will support the development of freight transportation, aircraft servicing, aviation research & development, and other related industries.

Other than the above, Tenet executive condo is also located close to advanced wafer fabrication parks in Pasir Ris and Tampines, as well as data centres in Loyang.
Review Conclusion
With the Parc Central Residences EC in Tampines Avenue 10 fully sold since its launch in January 2021, this attests to the attractiveness of Tampines as a place to live, study, work, and play.
Moreover, Tenet EC has the added benefit of being just 4 minutes’ walk to the Tampines North integrated transport hub (bus interchange + MRT station), which adds to its attractiveness.
In addition, Pasir Ris 8 located next to the Pasir Ris MRT station was almost fully sold when it was launched in July 2021. Do note that Pasir Ris 8 is an integrated development and not an executive condo.
Nevertheless, this only shows the investment potential of properties in the East Region, regardless of whether they are ECs or private condos. As mentioned earlier, with the development of major employment hubs, the demand for housing will increase. In turn, this will help to drive up property prices.
And since many of these mega developments have yet to be completed or are in the planning stages, this will offer investors of Tenet EC the first-mover advantage.

- Arc @ Tampines EC: +45.5%
- Tampines Trilliant EC: +67.1%
