Who are the Developers of The Arcady Condo?
The Arcady will be developed by KSH Ultra Unity, a consortium comprising KSH Holdings Ltd (49%), H10 Holdings (36%), and SLB Developments (25%).
As the largest stakeholder, KSH Holdings will be the main driver for the development of The Arcady.
KSH Holdings is an established construction, property development and property management group with operations in Singapore, Malaysia and China. Incorporated in 1979, it has been listed on the Mainboard of the SGX-ST since 8 February 2007.
With a strong track record across a wide range of construction projects, it has won numerous awards for its excellence. These include several BCA Construction Excellence Awards for Fullerton Bay Hotel and NUS University Town's Education Resource Centre in 2013, Madison Residences in 2014, as well as Mount Alvernia Hospital in 2016, amongst others.
In 2019, KSH received the BCA Construction Excellence Award (Excellence) for NUS University Sports Centre and Construction Excellence Award (Merit) for Heartbeat@Bedok.
What are the Prices of The Arcady
During The Arcady's sales launch on 20 January 2024, it sold 51 units (29.7%) out of a total of 172 units at an average price of $2,570 psf.
The site for The Arcady was acquired through en bloc by KSH Ultra Unity in July 2022. Paying $222.18 million for the 56,476 sq ft site with a plot ratio of 2.8, this translates to a land rate of $1,313 psf per plot ratio, inclusive of bonus balcony area.
Hence, its average launch price is close to our estimate of around $2,500 psf, which is very attractive when compared to some other recent developments. For example, Terra Hill and The Continuum, which are also freehold residential developments, were sold at average prices of $2,661 psf and $2,732 psf respectively.
Note: In the recent government land sales (GLS) tender for the 99-year leasehold Toa Payoh Lorong 1 site on 7 November 2023, the winning bid by a joint venture between property giants City Developments Ltd (CDL), Frasers Property, and Sekisui House translates to a land rate of $1,360 psf ppr. This is higher than the freehold Arcady's $1,313 psf ppr land cost!!!
Where is The Arcady Located?
The Arcady is located just off Serangoon Road (between Farrer Park and Potong Pasir) in a rather quiet area. Opposite it and across Serangoon Road is the Bendemeer Primary School.
Basically, it enjoys mostly unblocked views from the north-east to south-west facings which comprise mostly low-rise buildings and shophouses.
However, between its west and north facing are some high-rise HDB flats. Nevertheless, units on the upper floors of The Arcady should get relatively good open views.
Kallang Master Plan
Meanwhile, The Arcady can be expected to benefit from the Kallang master plan.
Currently, Kallang is well-served by commercial and community facilities but the area will be further rejuvenated with quality housing, including new waterfront developments, green spaces, waterbodies, and new leisure options for residents.
At the same time, the Kallang River, which is Singapore's longest and just 500m from The Arcady, will feature new waterfront homes with park-like environments for residents. Its riverbanks will be enhanced with new walkways and cycling routes, providing residents with more recreational options and improving connectivity between Bishan and the city.
All these exciting developments can be expected to boost property values in the surrounding areas.
Excellent Public Transport Connectivity
The Arcady condo is located just 6 minutes walk from the Boon Keng MRT station on the North-East Line. This will offer residents a direct route to Downtown Singapore such as Dhoby Ghaut, Clarke Quay, and Chinatown.
The Boon Keng MRT station is also just 2-3 stops from the following MRT interchanges:
- Little India (North-East/Downtown Line)
- Dhoby Ghaut (North-East/North-South/Circle Line)
- Serangoon (North-East/Circle Line)
These MRT interchanges will make travelling around Singapore a breeze.
In addition, the bus stop is just a 1-2 minute walk from The Arcady along Serangoon Road. However, this is a one-way street and if you are coming home from the opposite direction in Bendemeer Road (another one-way street), there will be a little bit more walking.
Nevertheless, this should not be a big issue as most would likely take the MRT if they are not driving.
Expressways Near The Arcady Condo
For those who own private transport, the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) Central Expressway are just 3-4 minutes drive from The Arcady. They will offer quick and convenient access to major regional centres in the north (Woodlands Regional Centre), east (Tampines Regional Centre & Changi Region), south (Greater Southern Waterfront), and the redeveloped Paya Lebar Airbase in the future.
In addition to the above-mentioned, The Arcady condo is also a short drive to key employment centres such as Paya Lebar Sub-regional Centre, Paya Ubi Industrial Park, and Kallang Basin Industrial Park, to name a few.
Hence, The Arcady could appeal to people working in these areas.

The Arcady Review Conclusion
Given the relative lack of property launches in the area, The Arcady is likely to attract decent interest, if priced right of course.
Some of the most recent launches near The Arcady are Jui Residences, 1953, and Myra. They were launched in September 2018, March 2019, and September 2020 respectively. All of them have been sold out, attesting to their attractive locational attributes and freehold status despite being small developments comprising just 117 units, 58 units, and 85 units respectively.
Hence, with The Arcady’s bigger land size, residents can look forward to more facilities, which will appeal to a wider range of home buyers, especially families with children. And being a mid-size development, residents will also enjoy more exclusivity.
Average Price Trends Comparison
Meanwhile, let’s examine how Jui Residences, 1953, Myra, and Eight Riversuites have performed since their launch.
We will also examine the average price performance of private properties in District 12 starting May 2012 to the present. The reason for using May 2012 as the starting point is to coincide with the launch date Eight Riversuites. This will enable us to compare how District 12 has performed vis-à-vis a particular development that has been around for a sufficient length of time.
Hence, it will provide us with some insights into its average price performance as well as private properties in the vicinity in general.
Eight Riversuites is located at Whampoa East, right in between Serangoon Road and Bendemeer Road, and just 5 minutes walk from The Arcady. However, compared to the other developments which are freehold, it is a 99-year leasehold condo development comprising of 843 condos and 19 landed units.
Average Price Trend Comparison: Eight Riversuites vs Jui Residences vs1953 vs Myra vs District 12
As can be seen from the chart, the following are the average price performances of:
- Jui Residences: +8.65% (launched September 2018)
- 1953: -1.17% (launched March 2019)
- Myra: +24.32% (launched September 2010)
- Eight Riversuites: +31.74% (launched May 2012)
- District 12: +24.41%
From the above, only 1953 has shown a slight loss. However, it should be noted that it is a residential cum shophouse development at Tessensohn Road in District 8, and not District 12, where The Arcady is located. It is also a very small development with only 58 residential units and hence, may not be representative of actual market sentiment.
As for the rest, they have performed quite well, which should bode well for The Arcady condo.
