Nyon Condo @ 12 Amber Road Latest Updates

Nyon Condo @ 12 Amber Road is a brand-new Freehold condo launch developed by Aurum Land (Private) Limited. The District 15 condominium is situated at 12 Amber Road, in the Katong locale of Marine Parade estate.

Nyon Condo is nestled in a private residential enclave comprising freehold condominiums like The Sea View, One Amber, The Esta, King’s Mansion and Amber 45, which was launched in 2018.

Among the freehold en-bloc sites sold recently in the Amber/ Meyer vicinity, Nyon will be the first project to launch, before the former Parkway Mansion (new project named as Coastline Residences), the large Amber Gardens condo development of Amber Park (Amber Park will retain its old name), One Meyer (previously known as The Albracca), the UOL project of Meyerhouse (formerly Nanak Mansions) and the 200-unit condo of Meyer Mansion (former Casa Meyfort), which is developed by GuocoLand.

Located in the popular East Coast of Singapore, Nyon Condo @ 12 Amber enjoys great public transport connectivity to the CBD and Changi Airport via buses and MRT. Those driving could travel to these two locations in less than 15 minutes via the expressway of ECP, which is within minutes’ drive from the project.

With its sea-fronting location, idyllic ambience and relaxing atmosphere, Marine Parade is widely considered by Singaporeans to be one of the best addresses to reside in. Nyon is located near the East Coast Park, which provides many recreational and sporting facilities. Future residents of the freehold condo can look forward to weekend strolls along the beach and indulge in picnics enjoying the natural sea breeze from the sea.

There are excellent educational institutions near Nyon. Tanjong Katong Primary School is within 1km of the project. Other good  primary schools with 2km of the District 15 Condo include Haig Girls’ School, CHIJ (Katong) Primary, and the two famous Special Assistance Plan (SAP) schools of Kong Hwa School and Tao Nan School. Among secondary schools, there are the renowned Dunman High School, Chueng Cheng High School (Main) and Tanjong Katong Secondary School to choose from. Canadian International School is less than 500 metres from the condominium, providing a source of ready tenants who would prefer new projects like Nyon when it obtains TOP.

Nyon @ 12 Amber is just approximately 140 metres from the Tanjong Katong MRT station, which is part of the upcoming Thomson East Coast MRT line. Travelling to Shenton Way MRT is just 7 MRT stops away, while travelling directly to Orchard MRT is now an option, without having to take a bus to Paya Lebar MRT to travel to there.

Besides providing convenience to the residents, being near a MRT station also aids in a property’s capital appreciation when the station is operational. Rentability of the property will also be boosted as a result.

Nyon Condo Project Details

The land area of Nyon is approximately 28,409 square feet.  The site’s plot ratio of 2.8 under the Singapore 2014 URA Master Plan allows the developer to build 105 apartments. However, Nyon developer Aurum Land intends to build only 92 units at the site in order to allocate more space towards landscaping and floor plan configurations for certain units. The lower number of units planned also makes the District 15 freehold development more exclusive.

The site of Nyon was created from an amalgamation of 3 freehold land plots. Aurum Land, bought the land plot of 12 Amber Road for $58million in September 2017. The freehold site which consists of 12/A/B/C/D Amber Road was put up for sale on August 2017. Aurum Land subsequently combined the land site of 12 Amber Road with the two freehold land plots of 10 Amber Road and 10A Amber Road to form the current site area of Nyon.

Nyon Condo @ 12 Amber comprises of a single 18-storey residential tower of 1, 2 and 3 Bedroom apartments. There are 6 units per floor on most levels. The orientation of all units are North-South, to maximize the site’s sea-facing frontage towards Amber Road. Higher levels of the South facing units of Stack 2, 3, 4 and 5 would enjoy partial seaview and the natural sea breeze from the balconies. Stack 1 and 6 would face North and enjoy views of the Peranakan motif inspired mosaic swimming pool.

Stack 3 and 4 consist of 1-Bedroom apartments facing South towards the sea. It is rather rare to find a new project with high floor 1-Bedroom commanding sea views as developers would normally situate the bigger apartments to face the sea.

The development provides 2 basement levels of parking with 92 carpark lots and 2 handicapped lots. It is less common for projects nowadays to offer 1-to-1 parking spaces, especially for a development like Nyon which is near a MRT station.

The facilities of Nyon @ 12 Amber are on the 1st and 14th floors. The highlight of the freehold development is the heritage clubhouse which very few projects in Singapore can lay claim to have. The open air courtyard near the drop-off is similarly exquisite and adds grandeur to the Grand Main Entrance of the project.

The 14th level open terrace provides a dining area and sitting lounges for residents and guests to mingle around. At that level, one can capture panoramic views of the sea. As the gym is on the 14th level facing the sea, one can take in scenic views while working out.

More photos of the facilities can be found in the Nyon Gallery.

Nyon Condo Unit Attributes

The design theme for Nyon is Contemporary Peranakan. Purchasers of Nyon would not just be buying an apartment – they would be acquiring a Masterpiece. The units in Nyon are artfully designed to be spacious and functional. All units would have part of the artistic Nyon project logo in shiny metallic gold infused with the bedroom wardrobe doors, bathroom vanity cabinet doors and one pair of one of the kitchen cabinet doors.

An appealing feature of the typical units in Nyon is the 3.25-metre high living room ceiling height, which adds depth and dimension to the rest of the unit, and lends a sophisticated touch to the already masterfully crafted apartment. There are 3-Bedroom apartments with double-volume ceiling heights of 6 metres in the living room which will further accentuate this spatial effect.

All apartments in the development would be tiled with natural marble in the foyer/living/dining rooms. The bedroom floors would come furnished with natural timber. Each unit would be equipped with luxurious fittings and a SMART HOME system. There are extra storage space along the foyer walkway to augment the amount of storage space.

Every meticulously designed Nyon apartment is a Masterpiece which would convey a sense of elegance with a scintilla of the Peranakan traditions.

The Name “Nyon”

The name “Nyon” also refers a municipality fronting Lake Geneva, of the canton Vaud, in Switzerland. However, the naming of Nyon Condo did not derive inspiration from the Swiss municipality, though both share the same characteristic of facing a large body of water, with Nyon of Switzerland looking into the picturesque Lake Geneva, and the higher South-facing levels of Nyon Condo enjoying breathtaking views of the sea.

Instead, the name of Nyon Condo was arrived at due to its location in Katong.

Descendants of Chinese immigrants who travelled and settled in the Malay archipelago, which include Malaysia and Singapore, are referred to as Peranakans.

“Nyonya” is the term for Peranakan women. The project name is a short form of “Nyonya”.

As Nyon Condo is situated in Katong, an area historically chosen by many Peranakans to reside in, the choice of a name with Peranakan identity for the project seems apt.

The project name Nyon would also evoke memories of a popular local Chinese drama, The Little Nyonya, which was screened on television about a decade ago.

Amber Road

The history of Amber Road is rooted in wealth, eminence and Peranakan heritage. The road name was said to be named after the family of a successful Jewish businessman named Joseph Arron Elias, whose family owned many properties along Amber Road. A company found by Joseph built Amber Mansions, one of Singapore’s earliest block of flat. Amber Mansions, however was situated in the corner of Orchard Road and Penang Lane, and not in Amber Road locale.

There used to exist a Malay village named Kampong Amber encompassing the site of Nyon @ 12 Amber in the past. The village was bordered by the roads East Coast Road and Amber Road.

Amber Road holds the distinction of the address where Singapore’s First Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, proposed to his wife. The venue of the symbolic event was at Mandalay Villa, a mansion built by an influential Peranakan businessman, Lee Cheng Yan.

Amber Road is also home to the iconic Chinese Swimming Club, which produced many national swimmers and remains a seat of swimming excellence. The club has a much bigger area now after undergoing refurbishments in recent years.

Katong

Katong is a well-known area in Singapore with distinct Peranakan influence. Recognized as a residential enclave for many Peranakans, the Baroque Peranakan architecture of many buildings is evident as you throng the streets of Katong.

A location steeped in Peranakan history, Katong is a famous food haven with multitudes of cafes, bars and restaurants housed in unique pre-war two or three-storey shophouses, serving a rich variety of food, and in particular Peranakan cuisine.

The famous Katong Laska, a spicy Peranakan noodle soup, can be found along East Coast Road, as well as delicious Nasi Padang and Nyonya dishes from Glory Catering. Further along East Coast Road towards the East, another must-try dish is Beach Road Prawn Noodle, with its thick and flavourful soup base coupled with fresh succulent prawns.

The delicious Punggol Nasi Lemak with its fragrant coconut rice, crispy chicken wings, crunchy peanuts and ikan bilis, most importantly its sambal chilli, can be found in Tanjong Katong.

Fei Fei Wanton Mee, especially eaten with chilli, is just one of the many sumptuous dishes one can sample in the charming Joo Chiat.

These are but just a few of the many gems that can be found in Katong. Future residents of Nyon @ 12 Amber will be spoilt for choices when exploring where to eat at the bustling neighbourhood of Katong.

2014 URA Master Plan

The District 15 freehold project of Nyon @ 12 Amber Condo is located in the Marine Parade Estate, which is part of the Marine Parade/ Geylang URA Planning Area of Singapore. The Marine Parade/ Geylang URA Planning Area is west of the Bedok Residential Estate.

With Government plans to rejuvenate the Marine Parade/ Geylang URA Planning Area, which is rich in diverse heritage, purchasers of Nyon can look forward to the addition of more commercial developments, retail shop space, recreational facilities and transport improvements.

The Singapore Government has been pursuing a long-term decentralization strategy and Paya Lebar Central has been gazetted as a new sub-regional centre. The opening of the Grade A offices at Paya Lebar Quarter will help to boost the property prices in the vicinity and Nyon will be a prime beneficiary. Investors in the Amber Road Condo can also tap into a big tenant pool from the Paya Lebar commercial hub.

All these plans would aid in the future price growth of Nyon and preserve its long-term value.
