Sceneca Residence

Sceneca Residence

Sceneca Residence is a newly launched 99-year leasehold mixed-use development located at Tanah Merah Kechil Link in District 16 (D16). Located conveniently beside Tanah Merah MRT station, Sceneca Residence is slated to obtain its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) in 2025.

Location

Sceneca Residence’s best selling point is its close proximity to the Tanah Merah MRT station (EW4) which provides future residents with significant ease of commuting.

With the East-West Line (EWL) right at their doorstep connected by a sheltered linkway, key locations, including the Changi Airport, Tampines, Paya Lebar, and Changi Business Park are all within close proximity to home. Residents also get direct connection to Simei, Tampines, and Pasir Ris; all of which are both major housing estates and important employment hubs in Singapore.

One station away from Tanah Merah MRT takes those residing at Sceneca Residence to Bedok MRT station (EW5) where they can access Bedok Mall and the adjoined Bedok integrated transport hub (ITH). Ride the train three more stations down and commuters will reach Paya Lebar interchange (EW8/CC9) where they can conveniently switch over to the Circle Line (CCL) to get to places, including Harbourfront, Dhoby Ghuat, and Marina Bay.

Tanah Merah MRT station also branches out to Expo and Changi Airport. Commuters can also easily switch over to the Downtown Line (DTL) by transferring at Expo MRT station (CG1/DT35). Come 2040, the Changi Airport Branch of the EWL (CG2) will become part of the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL). Upon completion, those residing the development will get to enjoy seamless connectivity to the north of Singapore and the city centre in Marina Bay.

Summary

Sceneca Residence for Sale

Sceneca Residence is reportedly the first major private residential launch (with the exception of executive condominiums) after the implementation of the latest round of cooling measures on 30 September 2022.

Furthermore, mixed-use developments tend to command higher rental yields as opposed to residential projects given the high levels of convenience brought about by retail and dining options within easy reach.

Sceneca Residence’ direct access to Tanah Merah MRT station also further boosts its popularity amongst home seekers and investors as the project’s close proximity to major employment hubs such as the Changi Business Park and Changi Airport is likely to push up rental demands.
