$200K to $300K cheaper than similar new private condominiums.
Proximity to Seletar Aerospace Industry Cluster and to Tampines & Changi Business Parks via the TPE means good resale potential after the 5 year MOP.

Prive EC Sale Status
.
This Punggol EC was launched on 10 December 2010 to enthusiastic response, with 40% of the units sold that day alone. It is now completely sold out. So what others are coming up next? The next one to launch will be Piermont Grand along the Waterway. This one will be slightly further away from the MRT station compared to Prive, but will still be walkable if you don’t mind taking around 11 to 12 minutes to get to the station. The Piermont Grand EC will have the advantage of fronting the Punggol Waterway directly however, with even some pocket views of Punggol Reservoir. It is also nearer to the terraces of Waterway Point.

Developer Sales . The Arcady Condo Prices
The Arcady at Boon Keng in District 12 will probably launch for sale at the end of 2023, or in early 2024. Like Prive EC, it is located in the north-east corner of Singapore. Unlike Prive, it is a private condominium rather than an executive condominium. Further, the Arcady condo is a freehold development, which in theory, bestows upon the buyer the right of ownership in perpetuity.
That is in theory of course. In actual practice, the authorities have the right to buy over the land at any time, so long as they pay you what is deemed fair market practice. That however does not happen often.
In the meantime, the Arcady at Boon Keng is an attractive residential project. It sits on a parcel of land formerly occupied by Euro-Asia Apartments, and sold enbloc collectively to a joint venture of KSH Holdings, H10 Holdings, and SLB Development. This area is zoned as residential with a plot ratio of 2.8. The neighbourhood of the Arcady condo is mainly residential, a mix of public housing and private apartments, together with old shophouses lining Serangoon Road.
While it is an old part of town, it is relatively close to the city centre. In fact this is actually within a Rest of Central Region (RCR) zone. The Arcady condo is within 6 minutes walk of Boon Keng MRT station on the North-East line, 3 stops from Doby Ghaut station in Orchard Road. So this launch is expected to elicit a good deal of interest, for both its city fringe location as well as its freehold status.
The Arcady condo prices won’t be cheap, however. With a break-even cost of around $2,000 PSF, analysts are expecting selling prices in the region of $2,500 PSF or so. The consortium is likely to start marketing activities in a couple of months time. The unit mix will comprise one bedroom + study units, all the way to 4 bedroom apartments, and a couple of penthouses.
At these prices, the Arcady at Boon Keng is of course targeting a completely different demographic from Prive. There will always be a class of buyers who only buy freehold property, and have the means and are prepared to pay for it.
