Arena Residences Latest Updates

Arena Residences, developed by Roxy-Pacific Holdings, is a brand new Freehold project launch located at 20 Guillemard Crescent. Situated in a prime Rest of Core Region (RCR) address of Singapore, it enjoys excellent transport connectivity and short travel time to the CBD and Orchard Road via nearby expressways (PIE, KPE and ECP), buses and MRTs.

Arena Residences is nestled in the Geylang Estate, which together with Marine Parade Estate forms the Geylang/Marine Parade URA Planning Area of Singapore. There are plans to rejuvenate these two estates, which will add more facilities to an area already abound with amenities.

The Name ‘Arena’

The definition of ‘Arena’ is a level area surrounded by seats, where people gather to watch sports, entertainments or other public events.

As such the choice of the name ‘Arena Residences’ for the project is very apt as its location is very close to Singapore Sports Hub, Singapore Indoor Stadium, OCBC Arena, OCBC Aquatic Centre and Kallang Practice Track. These venues are where many live performances, musical concerts and sporting events in Singapore are held.

Project Details

Arena Residences has a site area of approximately 25,601 square feet, with a plot ratio of 2.8 under the 2014 Master Plan. The site was created from an amalgamation of 2 freehold land plots of 2 and 6 Guillemard Lane purchased in late 2017,  and another 2 freehold sites of 12 and 14 Guillemard Lane acquired earlier in 2017.

Arena Residences houses 98 apartments and will comprise of 2 Residential Buildings of 14 Storeys, with 2 lifts serving the residents in each building. There are 4 unit types in the Guillemard Lane development – 2 Bedroom Compact, 2 Bedroom, 3 Bedroom and 3 Bedroom Dual-Key.

Units in the District 14 freehold condo are lined up in a East-West orientation. There are a total of 8 stacks in the development, with 4 stacks facing West and the other 4 stacks facing East. Of the 8 apartments on the 14th Storey, 5 of them are architecturally appealing apartments with double-volume ceilings in the bedrooms, dining room and living room.

Investors are expected to be very keen on the 3 Bedroom dual key units as the rental income provided by leasing out the 2 units in a dual key apartment separately will typically exceed that of a typical 3 Bedroom apartment.

The parking in the project is located on the ground level and basement level, with communal facilities being located at Level 2, Level 8 and the Roof Terrace.

The Roof Terrace will offer a scenic view of the Sports Hub and the city skyline, with the bonus of capturing magnificent views of fireworks lighting up the sky during festival periods.

The main contractor of the project is Star Engineering Pte Ltd, while the Architect is JGP Architecture (S) Pte Ltd.

Food Haven and Shopping Centres

As Geylang is a well-known for being a food paradise, future residents of Arena Residences will be blessed with a plethora of food options.
