The Atelier Latest Updates

The Atelier is an exciting freehold new condo launch in the prime location of District 9. Situated at 2 Makeway Avenue, the condominium will be developed by the renowned Bukit Sembawang Estates Limited (BSEL).

The Atelier sits on the former site of Makeway View, which is a 32-unit freehold condo built in 1989. Singapore developer Bukit Sembawang bought Makeway View through an en bloc sale in March 2018. The sale price for the 10-storey Newton condo is S$168 million. After accounting for an estimated development charge of approximately S$21.26 million, the sale price of Makeway View would translate to a land rate of S$1,626 per sq ft per plot ratio (psf ppr).

The Atelier is conveniently located less than 400 metres from the Newton MRT Station, which is an underground interchange MRT station along both the North South Line (NSL) and the Downtown Line (DTL). Being near Newton MRT makes travelling to Orchard, Bukit Timah, Novena and the Central Business District (CBD) a breeze.

Project Details

The site area of The Atelier is approximately 41,582 square feet. With reference to the Singapore 2019 URA Master Plan, the site has a plot ratio of 2.8. This allows the developer Bukit Sembawang to build the development up to a gross floor area of 116,492.6 square feet.

There will only be a total of 120 apartments in the project, making The Atelier an exclusive development for the discerning.

The luxurious condo would comprise a high-rise residential tower that will define the skyline of Newton.

Shopping Options

As the condo is located at the heart of Newton, future residents can choose from the myriad of shopping malls along the nearby Orchard Road Shopping Belt.

They can also choose to shop and dine at the various shopping centres and mixed developments in Novena, which is just 1 MRT stop away from Newton MRT station.

Parents with young children will surely enjoy visiting the family-friendly United Square, a modern mall which houses enrichment centres, tuition centres, children play areas and retail shops selling children merchandise.

Educational Institutions

There are many excellent educational institutions around the project. Within 1km from The Atelier are the highly famous and sought-after primary schools of Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) and Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) and Saint Joseph’s Institution (Junior).

The Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road), an acclaimed secondary school, lies just slight below 1,000 metres from the development. This completes the trinity of Anglo-Chinese family of schools which are within 1km of the freehold District 9 condo.

The three Anglo-Chinese Schools (ACS) situated near the project are part of a family of Methodist schools in Singapore. The 2 primary schools are often oversubscribed. To boost their chances of gaining entry to these 2 elite schools, parents would often rent or purchase properties which are within 1km of these two schools, making The Atelier a candidate property for consideration.

Schools which are beyond 1km but less than 2km of the development include the primary schools of St. Margaret’s Primary School, Singapore Chinese Girls’ Primary School (SCGS) and Farrer Park Primary School, the eminent secondary schools of Raffles Girls’ School (RGS), Chinese International School and Singapore Chinese Girls’ School (SCGS), and Catholic Junior College, which offers post-secondary education.

Those who are musically or artistically-inclined can choose from School of Music and the Arts (SOMA), School of the Arts (SOTA) or Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. These 3 schools are situated under 2 kilometres from the development.

Chatsworth International School, a highly popular international school situated at 37 Emerald Hill, lies about 1.2 kilometres from the development.

As the project is nestled in a private residential enclave that includes landed housing, there are many childcare centres operating in the landed properties for parents with toddlers and young children to choose from.

2019 URA Master Plan

With reference to the 2019 URA Master Plan, The Atelier falls under the purview of the Moulmein Planning Subzone. The subzone is a subset of the Novena Planning Area, which in turn is part of the Novena-Tanglin URA Planning Area. This URA Planning Area encompasses the two established and affluent residential estates of Tanglin and Novena.

Under the latest master plan, the Singapore Government will initiate various improvements to the infrastructure of the two estates.

Plans are afoot to build an 8-hectare Gallop extension to the Singapore Botanic Gardens. When completed, it will increase the recreational areas in the Botanic Gardens, which is the first UNESCO Heritage Site in Singapore. At the current area of 74 hectares, the 160-year-old Botanic Gardens is already the biggest park in Singapore.

Residents of Tanglin and Novena estates can look forward to better public transport connectivity when the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL), which serves 32 MRT stations over a rail length of more than 43 kilometres, is fully operational by the year 2024.

Traffic conditions in the two estates will also be improved when the North-South Corridor (NSC) is completed.

The North-South Corridor, initially named as the North-South Expressway, will help to alleviate the traffic conditions of the Central Tunnel Expressway (CTE). While the expressway was first visualized as a vehicular expressway, it was eventually revised to be constructed as Singapore’s first “integrated transport corridor”, which will have bus lanes and cycling routes running along the whole length of the expressway.

The 21-kilometre long North-South Corridor will be the 11th expressway of Singapore.

Long hailed as the medical hub of Singapore, the reputation of Novena as the destination for healthcare services will be further elevated with the addition of Health City Novena. Under the master plan, Health City Novena will be an integrated development with both medical care and medical education facilities. The stakeholders for the development of healthcare hub are the Ministry of Health (MOH), the National Healthcare Group and Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), which is Singapore’s second biggest general hospital.

With Health City Novena housing doctors and specialists from various disciplines, patients can easily be cross-referred, thus creating a synergy in health care services. This will result in a boost in the quality and cost-effectiveness of medical care that is already excellent before the advent of Health City Novena.

As The Atelier enjoys close proximity to Novena, the completion of Health Care Novena will boost the standing of the condo in terms of both capital appreciation and rental demand.

All the plans listed out in the master plan for Novena-Tanglin URA planning area will definitely enhance the long-term value of The Atelier.
