At the EdgeProp Singapore Excellence Awards (EPEA) 2023, the People’s Choice Award has three categories: Completed and uncompleted residential projects and a new hospitality segment. A total of 9,000 votes were received this year via an online voting system open to the general public. It is the highest number of votes received in the seven years the awards have been held.
About 50 projects participated this year, and the one that received the most public votes in the “Uncompleted” category was Tembusu Grand. Jointly developed by two storied property developers, City Developments Ltd (CDL) and MCL Land, the 638-unit Tembusu Grand is located on Jalan Tembusu, off Tanjong Katong Road in prime District 15.

Tembusu Grand marks the third collaboration between CDL and MCL Land. The first two were the 405-unit Piccadilly Grand private condo in Farrer Park and the 639-unit Copen Grand executive condo in Tengah. Both were launched last year and are 100% sold.

Launched in early April, Tembusu Grand has a take-up of over 58% as of the end of September, with an average price of $2,462 psf. The buzz of Tanjong Pagar on the East Coast, featuring an eclectic mix of traditional eateries, cafes, bakeries and restaurants, and malls such as I12 Katong and Parkway Parade, are within easy access.
For parents with school-age children, the proximity of schools like Kong Hwa School and Tanjong Katong Primary School within 1km is another advantage.

Inspired by nature

Besides its locational attributes, Tembusu Grand’s design won the day in the People’s Choice Award. The design was inspired by “the shape and texture of the Tembusu heritage trees”, says Markus Cheng, associate partner of ADDP Architects, the design architect for the project.
The rectangular 210,619 sq ft, 99-year leasehold plot allowed ADDP and the landscape architect Tinderbox Landscape Studio to maximise its potential. The four blocks of 20- and 21-storeys have a north-south orientation and offer panoramic views of the surroundings. The project has a Platinum Super Low Energy certification, the highest accolade under the Building and Construction Authority Green Mark rating for sustainability.
The project’s standout features include a grand arrival and drop-off area, two clubhouses and a lantern-like clubhouse with full-height glass windows providing views of the 50m infinity swimming pool and landscaped grounds. Amenities in the multi-level clubhouse include a gaming room, karaoke pod, and entertainment and function rooms.

The second clubhouse, The Tembusu Club, is a multi-level cantilevered space with a waterfall. It contains a private dining area on the second level and a gym on the fifth level. Both these spaces come with full-height glass, offering expansive views. Other facilities within the development include a tennis court, a co-working lounge, a barbeque pavilion and a children’s play area.

Interior design firm Park Avenue Designs extended the Tembusu tree theme from the architectural design to the sales gallery and show flats, featuring a prominent artwork of a Tembusu trunk in the sales gallery.

Meeting homebuyer’s needs

In the design of the three show flats, Park Avenue shifted the focus to the homebuyer’s needs, with the interior designers showing how flexible and multi-functional spaces can be, whether it is a two-, three- or four-bedroom unit.
For instance, the common bedroom in the two-bedroom show unit was converted into a child’s room, with a loft for sleeping and the first level as a play and study area. The staircase doubles as a storage space.
At the three-bedroom show flat, Park Avenue Designs showed how balconies, which are often underutilised, can be turned into a private gym or fitness area.
The designers also utilised the four-bedroom unit’s wide frontage and expansive balcony, complemented by a dry and wet kitchen, making it perfect for at-home entertainment.
