Comparison of The Same Types of Land Use
The following are our comparison made to all the same types of lands around 500m. to Canninghill Location in above map. There are all together 9 plot inclusicve of Canninghill Piers.
Our Criterias set to 3 main focus as:
- Land Size & Shape
- Frontage width
- View
- Connectivity
Land Size & Shape In Comparison
Size & shape play a big role in developing new projects. Though by experience as Architect, small & narrow plots are not suitable to develop as high-rise residential. They tend to be commercial Shophouse projects or 1 row of apartment with one long strips of retails. In this map, the vacent land at Tank Road is such. It is not comparable.
Frontage Width
As the development partially are residential component (top part of buildings). They need to have wider frontage in order to lay the residential unit, 1-2 bays for 1 bedroom, 2-3 bays for 2 bedroom, 3-4 bays for 3 bedrooms & so. Form this idea, you will find that disadvantage for a narrow frontage plot. Out of this 9 plot UE Square score highest in term of frontage & Canninghill Piers cam the 2nd.
View From Inside plots
As residential development in this area are unique because of it river view, park & greenery view & open view. Therefore Canninghill Piers has maximised its frontage & view. Canninghill Piers location also superb in the sense that sandwich by beautiful river view from front. On the other side beautiful unblocked park view through Foart Canning Park. More over the unblocked distance on 3 side pushed the high-rise window of next elopement further away. This categories Canninghill Piers come at 1st place following by UE Square. However, UE Square has very minimum exposure to river front.
Comparing to The Pier @ Robertson The riverfront quite small, only relied on the back side of site. Robertson Walk is also surrounded by neighbour high-rise towers.
Connectivities
Canninghill Piers location has good connectivity to MRT Station great exposure as it is just on top of the Fort Canning MRT Station. The 2nd to 4th are UE Square, Robertson Walk & Riverside 48.
After all Cannninghill Piers Location are more related to or connected to District 09 Orchard Road & its shopping belt than anyone else. I would give Canninghill Piers the best locations this category.
Summary of Canninghill Piers Location
I am not surprise of how good is this location. This site has squarish shape, good size, broad frontage to Singapore River View. More over it has unblocked panoramic view of Fort Canning Park.
The Fort Canninghill location also quiet popular among expat who have high budget rental. Clearke Quay & Robertson Quay are also well-known of Singapore popular F&B spots. No wonder 2 giant developers wanted to involve this. Recommended for all for buyers, investors. Grab.
