Sceneca Residences is a mixed development that is coming to Tanah Merah Kechil Link, right in the heart of the eastern sub-zone of Tanah Merah. With completion expected in 2027, the District 16 condo promises to provide a dynamic blend of retail and lifestyle oriented living with superb connectivity due to its proximity to Tanah Merah MRT station.
Why Tanah Merah?
While the east of Singapore is home to big, well-known towns and housing estates such as Tampines and Bedok, the Tanah Merah estate is hardly brought up in conversation. The estate, which lies further towards Changi is less densely populated compared to the giants of the East, making it an ideal location for people who desire staying in the region but prefer a more secluded and peaceful location.
Despite being on the outskirts of the eastern hub, Tanah Merah boasts superb connectivity and convenience. With Sceneca Residences being connected to the MRT via a 24/7 linkway, the regional hubs of the east and their respective amenities are a mere 1-2 stops away. With access to the East West Line and Downtown Line (at Tampines and Expo stations), as well as the PIE and ECP expressways nearby, travel time to the central region of Singapore is roughly 30 minutes regardless of how you commute. For frequent jet-setters, being a mere 2 stops from Changi Airport via a direct train ride is also a definite attraction.
Food and Shopping
Food and shopping are two of Singapore's favourite pastimes — let’s look at what the neighbourhood and its nearby areas have to offer.
Within 1-3 MRT stops (or a 10 minute drive) of the area are a multitude of shopping malls:
Eastpoint Mall (Simei MRT)
Changi City Point (Expo MRT)
Bedok Mall (Bedok MRT)
Jewel (Changi Airport MRT)
Downtown East and White Sands (Pasir Ris MRT)
Tampines Mall, Tampines One and Century Square (Tampines MRT)
This offering of virtually unlimited shopping and dining options is one of the best in Singapore and should be enough to satisfy almost anyone.
Should these options prove exhaustive, you can also find fantastic hawker fare at hawker centres such as Simpang Bedok, East Village, and The Marketplace @ 58. People in the East frequently tout that their region has the best food, and after looking at all the options available, it's not hard to see why they think that.
Recreation
The east is also reputed for being a great recreational hub, especially for those with families. Family outing locations include the Bedok PCN, East Coast Park and Wild Wild Wet, while those with more specific interests can pursue their hobbies at locations such as Our Tampines Hub, Laguna National Golf Club, and Changi Sailing Club.
The area is also home to a range of recreational clubs like Tanah Merah Country Club, National Service Resort and Country Club, and even the brand new HomeTeamNS Bedok Clubhouse. With all these facilities located within 2-10 minutes of Sceneca Residences, there is never quite a dull weekend.
General Amenities
For families with schooling children, the area surrounding Tanah Merah is home to 7 primary schools and 13 secondary schools, with notable examples being Victoria School, Anglican High and CHIJ Katong Convent. There are also some fine tertiary schools in the area such as Temasek Polytechnic, Singapore University of Technology and Design and for foreigners, United World College SEA is also an available option.
In terms of healthcare, Sceneca is located not far off Changi General Hospital and Tampines Polyclinic, assuring that healthcare services are accessible to residents, especially those with elderly family members.
In addition to these fantastic existing amenities, residents can also expect future developments to the region including the upcoming Thomson-East Coast Line and Cross Island Line, further improving the area’s connectivity to Singapore's rail network.
In terms of lifestyle options, one can look forward to the development of the Tampines Cycling Network and the Bayshore Precinct. This continued expansion of activities and conveniences to the region makes the prospect of investing in and living in the area a fantastic choice.
