The Arcady at Boon Keng is set to become a new landmark in the Boon Keng area upon its completion in 2027. Developed by the trusted local developers KSH Holdings, SLB Development, and H10 Holdings, this 172-unit freehold condominium will feature modern architecture, setting it apart as a standout residence in the neighbourhood.
Collaborating with award-winning architectural firm Park + Associates, the developers have crafted a distinguished residence that resonated with investors and local buyers when it was launched for sale in January. The one-bedroom plus study and two-bedroom units’ efficiently designed layout appealed to many, while families appreciated the project’s spacious units and abundance of family-friendly amenities.
The Arcady at Boon Keng offers buyers a rare opportunity to invest in an affordable freehold development in the city-fringe neighbourhood, standing out among only a handful of new freehold projects launching this year.

Singapore’s condo market continues to thrive as the country grapples with limited land availability. As a small island nation experiencing rapid population growth, Singapore faces the daunting task of finding ample land for development. Consequently, the government has implemented stringent land utilization regulations, resulting in a highly competitive real estate landscape with constantly increasing property prices. Consequently, investing in real estate, particularly condos, presents a lucrative opportunity for attractive returns, given the potential for capital appreciation.
Creating a peaceful oasis, the developers and designers have adopted a bold architectural form that blends seamlessly with a curated landscape design, transforming the project into an urban oasis in the bustling city-fringe neighbourhood. The architects at Park + Associates and landscape architect Ecoplan Asia have collaborated on the multi-layered design, optimizing the total space available for verdant greenery and combining three-storeys worth of facilities into a ‘one-stop’ zone across just two floors. This efficient use of space can also be seen in other areas with abundant facilities, such as the 14th floor and the rooftop terrace.
The development boasts a range of family-friendly facilities, including a Social Deck for parents to relax while their children play at the nearby Kids Playground. Families can also enjoy a weekend of fun together at the Family Deck beside the Splash Patio and Family Pool. Water facilities include an infinity pool, spa pool, and family pool overlooked by the second-storey Sky Terrace. Access to the Sky Terrace, perfect for an indoor retreat, is just a few steps away. A dedicated kids’ zone with a Party Deck and Kids Club will keep children entertained, while parents can unwind at the Chill Out Lounge overlooking the Botanic Club.
Guests can enjoy a private chef-created alfresco dining experience at the Arcady Club on the 14th floor, taking in the spectacular view. Fresh produce can also be grown at the community garden on the rooftop, providing a convenient source of organic ingredients. Guests can also be accommodated at the Gourmet Vista on the 14th floor, boasting a 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding skyline. With 47 condo facilities spanning over 4,000 sq m, each of the 172 households at The Arcady at Boon Keng can find its pocket of excitement.
The residential tower and unit orientation have been thoughtfully considered, resulting in a north-south orientation elevated about 18m above street level to maximize views. Additionally, units are tilted away from the main road, significantly reducing traffic noise. Units on higher floors will have optimum views of the Kallang River, while south-facing units will face the direction of Marina Bay.
The layout of each unit has been efficiently designed, with spacious master bedrooms able to accommodate king-sized beds and common bedrooms easily fitting queen-sized beds. The development has seen steady sales of its larger units, including three-bedroom units of 969 sq ft, three-bedroom plus study units of 1,281 sq ft, and four-bedroom units of 1,410 sq ft. There are also two penthouses of 2,433 sq ft and 2,583 sq ft. Families with school-going children and couples will find that the development meets many criteria – a comfortable home within a conveniently located condo boasting a full suite of amenities for all family members to enjoy.
Nearby schools include Bendemeer Primary School, Bendemeer Secondary School, St Andrew’s Junior School, and Hong Wen School. Other amenities in the vicinity include Woodleigh Mall at Bidadari Park Drive and Bendemeer Mall along Bendemeer Road.
“The Arcady at Boon Keng’s convenient location and connectivity are likely drawing buyers to the development,” says Ismail Gafoor, CEO of PropNex Realty, one of the project’s marketing agents. Dhoby Ghaut MRT Interchange Station, linking the North-East Line, North-South Line, and Circle Line, is just three stops from Boon Keng MRT Station. With the Boon Keng MRT Station on the North-East Line only a six to seven minutes’ walk from the project, residents will enjoy a relatively short commute to the city. “We observe that many home buyers these days prefer projects within walking distance to an MRT station; convenience is highly valued given today’s busy lifestyle,” adds Gafoor.
Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia, agrees that The Arcady at Boon Keng presents a rare opportunity as a freehold property in a central location with easy access to major expressways like the CTE and PIE. The development will also benefit from its proximity to the rejuvenated Kallang precinct, which will see new sports and leisure facilities developed as part of the Kallang Alive Masterplan, announced during Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s inaugural National Day Rally this year.
The Kallang Alive Masterplan aims to bring together several key sporting associations and the Singapore Sports School into one integrated precinct. Planned state-of-the-art sports facilities and a new 12,000-seat stadium will support sports and recreation activities.
Since the project’s launch in January 2024, all one-bedroom-plus-study units have been sold, and close to 90% of two-bedroom units have been snapped up. With an average selling price of about $2,570 psf, its freehold tenure and potential for relatively greater capital appreciation compared to new 99-year leasehold projects make The Arcady at Boon Keng an attractive investment opportunity.
“The Arcady at Boon Keng is attractively priced relative to its location near the city and the MRT station,” says Hutton’s Yip. PropNex’s Gafoor concurs, adding: “The average transacted price of $2,570 psf at The Arcady at Boon Keng is lower than the overall average unit price of about $2,840 psf for new freehold, non-landed private homes in the RCR for 2024. In fact, it is also slightly lower than the average transacted unit price of new 99-year leasehold projects in the RCR of about $2,600 psf.”
“The Arcady at Boon Keng checks many boxes for home buyers today,” says Gafoor. “The project is located in a well-established neighbourhood in the city fringe, has good connectivity and easy access to the PIE. Another plus is its freehold land tenure, making it ideal for legacy planning and wealth preservation.”
“With the scarcity of new home launches in the area, we anticipate HDB upgraders will naturally gravitate towards The Arcady at Boon Keng,” says Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA. “Additionally, with nearly 1,400 upcoming MOP units from the Bidadari HDB estate, the potential pool of buyers for The Arcady at Boon Keng is even larger.”
