VISIONAIRE- FIRST EC with SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY

Visionaire Executive Condominium (EC) developer Qingjian Realty has partnered Samsung Asia to integrate smart living technology into its future developments as these innovations become commercially-available.

They had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to integrate smart living technology into new housing developments. The smart home will revolutionize the way private homeowners live, said Donald Ng, Qingjian's head of sales and marketing, at the MOU signing ceremony. Instead of installing smart gadgets upon moving into a regular home, Qingjian homeowners, the first being in The Visionaire EC, will be able to plug into a smart home from the onset. The developer will put in place the necessary infrastructure during construction, so buyers will save time, money and effort, not having to create smart homes from scratch. The companies will also explore ways to help homeowners better connect their appliances with personal smart devices. As part of the agreement, the developer will also use Samsung's smart products in its upcoming projects.

Samsung will be providing smart appliances like built-in kitchen appliances, air conditioners, washing machines and refrigerators to future homeowners. The residents will get to enjoy high tech equipments. For instance, the technology will allow them to operate their washing machines remotely, at the touch of a smart device.

Qingjian is believed to be the first developer in Singapore to embark on such features, and plans for these to be offered in The Visionaire EC.

“What we aim to do is to start anticipating and building today the smart Qingjian home that you will be receiving the keys to in three to five years. One that already has the latest technology and infrastructure to integrate with your smart lifestyle at that point in time,” said Li Jun, General Manager, Qingjian.

In anticipation of rapid technological improvements, Qingjian hopes to ‘future-proof’ its new launches, the first being The Visionaire EC, by incorporating the necessary infrastructure to support smart homes as they are constructed. This would ensure that buyers are able to plug into the smart home immediately.

Going forward, the partners hope to take this technology further, and will leverage on the Internet of Things (IoT) to enable homeowners to better integrate their technology with personal smart devices.

LET'S ENJOY VISIONAIRE with HILIFE INTERACTIVE APP

PROPERTY developer Qingjian Realty (South Pacific) launched HiLife, a mobile app that provides Qingjian homeowners to book facilities and purchase lifestyle and interior-decoration packages, among other services, a range of curated services and information needed for them to settle in their new homes

Through the app, future residents of The Visionaire EC will also be able to book facilities within the development, sign up for yoga classes and enrol their children for tuition lessons, for example. A range of home services such as cleaning, renovation and interior design is also available on the app. Homeowners may also book facilities such as tennis courts, function rooms, and barbecue pits via the app.

Services offered through the app include home maintenance and lifestyle services such as air-con servicing, dance and tuition classes. Companies that have partnered the developer on this initiative include Electrolux and Samsung Electronics.

For homeowners who prefer to book amenities the traditional way, Qingjian said it would work with the management of its developments to come up with house rules, so no group would be prioritised over another.

The cost of the app will not be passed on to customers. “There will be no change in prices of future homes due to the add-on service of the HiLife app,” said Mr Li Jun, general manager of Qingjian Realty (South Pacific) Group.

As a growing town, Sembawang will be developed with more amenities, transport infrastructure and housing for its residents. Potential homeowners can look forward to more housing choices as new area in the South and East of Sembawang will be developed progressively. Accompanying these developments will be new facilities and amenities to serve cureent and future residents.

Residents can look forward to

• A Nursing Home, a Christian Home, at Sembawang Crescent will serve the needs of our elderly residents
• A foreign system school will be developed at Jalan Ulu Sembawang
• A new neighbourhood centre will serve the needs of residents at Canberra Link

• The revamped Sembawang Park, which now includes an adventure playground, barbaque pits and a pentaque court
• Additional neighbourhood parks to build on the green character of Sembawang.
• A vibrant one-stop community hub set in the green space off Sembawang Road that will provide residents with sports and community facilities.
• An expanded cycling network for Sembawang Neighbourhood 1 and new park connectors which form part of the Round Island Route, to connect residents to other parts of Singapore.

• The possible addition of a New MRT Station on the North South Line between Sembawang and Yishun.
• The future North-South Expressway NSE, which will reduce the travelling time to and from the city
• The new road, Yishun Ave 8, which will connect to Seletar West Link, and provide an alternative route to the Central, Tampines and Seletar Expressways.
• The new road network at Sembawang Neighbourhood 1, which will serve new developments in the area.

Canberra Station will be located between the Sembawang and Yishun stations along Canberra Link. The new station will serve commuters living in nearby estates such as Sembawang Springs, together with upcoming private and public residential developments nearby. Works are expected to be completed by 2019.

When the station opens, commuters headed to the city centre or Jurong East can save up to 10 minutes of travel time, as they no longer have to take a bus to transfer to Sembawang or Yishun MRT station.

First, an adventure park will be developed. In time, a sports complex with a swimming pool and stadium will be built. Such sports facilities are coming to northern Singapore, and the 80,000 Sembawang residents will be the prime beneficiaries.

Residents will enjoy a 1.5ha Inclusive Adventure Park designed for all ages, which will house the largest number of swings in Singapore, including those for children, toddlers and people with disabilities. Other highlights include an amphitheatre, bicycle stations and third-generation fitness stations. Residents also have a say in the park’s colour theme.

There are also plans for bigger sports facilities in 10 years.

Details are being worked out, and options include integrating the sports complex with a park, library and hawker centre. The complex is likely to be sited next to Sembawang MRT Station. The plans are not only for infrastructure development.

With more sports facilities, residents are looking at increasing the events to be staged in Sembawang in future.

HIGHER DEMAND FOR ECs WITH ITS HIGH PROFIT MARGIN AND LOW ENTRY PRICE

Owners of Executive Condominiums (EC) stand a huge capital potential appreciation in due of the low entry price to purchase a unit compared to private condominiums.

After a period of 10 years, the EC will be privatised, changing its status to be on level to a private condominium. Foreigners will be able to purchase the unit then. Owners typically enjoy a capital gain after their EC is privatised.

The above table shows a significant increase in capital appreciation for EC owners. 

Purchasing an EC in The Visionaire is extremely promising as we may look into such capital appreciation after it becomes privatised over time.

When doing a comparison between an executive condominium and private condominium, we know that both EC and private condominiums offer the same features such as swimming pool, gym, tennis court and many more, 

As resale executive condominiums are typically larger in space comparing to its counterpart and with a lower entry price, demand has increased for the resale ECs. This has led to a narrowing of price gap.

Owners of resale ECs have profited greatly in the market with their low entry price and they had enjoyed the bigger space and same facilities.

As the entry price for an Executive Condominium (EC) is much lower than a private condominium, demand for ECs has been on the rise. New EC units are generally 15-30% cheaper than private condominiums. In addition, first timer are entitled to receive a CPF Housing Grant of up to S$30,000. These make EC an extreme worthwhile asset to purchase. 

Physical features are similar when comparing between a new executive condominium with a private condominium. This include facilities such as gym, clubhouse, security guard, tennis court, swimming pool and many more.

With The Visionaire having a short distance walk to Canberra MRT Station and with the infrastructure built ready for being a Smart Home, residents will enjoy a new life-style with great accessibility, together with a long term investment horizon with high profit margin.

With the new private condominiums in the vicinity transacting at about S$1000 psf, makes The Visionaire EC a value buy as it will be 20-30% more affordable than other developments around.

With its convenient location, just walking distance to Canberra MRT Station and with the Northern Region of Singapore transforming into a life-style and commercial hub, the attractive pricing of The Visionaire EC will offer a significant upside for its homebuyers.
