Homes Within A Park

 

2-room Flexi, 3-, 4-, and 5-room flats

 

Located in Tengah town, and bounded by Tengah Park Avenue and Tengah Drive, Parc Residences @ Tengah will be the first public housing development located in the new Park district. The development comprises 12 residential blocks designed with unique curved rooflines, ranging in height from 7 to 14 storeys. You can choose from 1,044 units of 2-room Flexi, 3-, 4-, and 5-room flats.

At Parc Residences @ Tengah, you can experience what it is like to live within a park, as the development is nestled between the lush Forest Fringe and Plantation Farmway. Dramatic sky terraces bridging across some of the residential blocks offer panoramic views of the surrounding greenery and central green. There are also roof gardens above the Multi-Storey Car Park and the neighbourhood centre.

Parc Residences @ Tengah is located near 2 upcoming Jurong Region Line MRT stations, and will be served by bus services leading to the city and nearby towns. With an extensive network of walking and cycling paths, residents will also be able to walk and cycle everywhere in Tengah.

The neighbourhood centre within Parc Residences @ Tengah will be provided with a polyclinic, supermarket, food court, F&B outlets, enrichment centres, shops, and restaurants. The development also comes with a childcare centre, education centre, and a Residents' Committee Centre. Please refer to the site plan for the facilities provided at Parc Residences @ Tengah. Facilities in this development will be accessible by the public.

About Park District

 

Park District is located at the heart of Tengah, nestled within a lush forest park.

Residents can enjoy quality living amidst greenery, and connect with the community through a myriad of amenities and green spaces. There are green and blue spaces found within Park District, such as the Plantation and Garden Farmways, Rainforest Walk, Forest Stream, green links, rain gardens, and skyrise greenery. These spaces provide visual relief and create more outdoor recreational opportunities for residents.

Located in Park District, the Market Place will be the first car-free HDB town centre in Singapore, which will provide a safe environment for walking and cycling. The town centre will be set amidst a lush park, with vehicles plying underneath the town centre. It will offer a greener, car-lite, people-friendly, and pedestrian-friendly environment.

Smart Solutions

Parc Residences @ Tengah will come with the following smart solutions to reduce energy usage, and contribute to a more sustainable and safer living environment:

• Smart-Enabled homes with provisions to support easy installation of smart systems
• Smart Lighting in common areas to reduce energy usage
• Smart Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System to optimise the deployment of resources for cleaner and fuss-free waste disposal

[Cecil Lee]

Case Study 1A: The " Smart Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System (PWCS) to optimise the deployment of resources for cleaner and fuss-free waste disposal"

1. In my opinion, Hong Leong /CDL seems to be an early adopter of this Pneumatic Waste Collection System in many of of their new developments.

1.1. For this HDB BTO November 2020 launch, Champion Bliss, Urbanville, Tampines GreenCrest, Tampines GreenGlade, Tampines GreenOpal, Parc Residences all have this "SMART" PWCS.

1.2. Hopefully, the addition of the word SMART is something that is different from any of the past PWCS.

1.3. In fact, a PWCS or maybe not so "smart" ones will be installed at a condo = Forett , HDB Plantaion Village (Nov 2019), Tampines GreenWave, Tampines GreenGem etc...

2. For example, when The Venue (a CDL project) had just T.O.P.:-

3. This signage (see above) was displayed at the common bin. There are like Twelve (12) cautionary: what not to:-

4. There was a cautionary sign with lots of Don'ts.

5. A while back at The Criterion also by CDL. This notice (User guide) was displayed at the common bin area:-

6. Hopefully, the residents may come to terms to avoid doing all these don'ts:-

7. If managed properly, one can understand the savings in terms of maintenance costs (if any)... and good for the daily Cleaners.

8. Presently not all other Developers follow this lead. Thus with the manual system, although there are occasional issues; but less so.

Case Study 1B: Plight of residents of HDB Yuhua BTO which was installed also with the Pneumatic Waste Collection System (PWCS).

9. As expected. It takes just one or two inconsiderate residents to make a mess of this system...

10. Imagine 4 years and more of tolerance.

11. Residents reported:-

12. Persistent odour

13. Foul smell exuding from the centralised bin centre at Blk 223A of Jurong East Street 21 has been a persistent problem in Yuhua since the PWCS started.

14. According to a recent report from the Chinese evening newspaper Lianhe Wanbao, residents have been bearing with the smelly environment for the past four years.

15. Some residents also feedback of bulky items such as large soft toys, cardboards and mattresses, which choke up the pipe network. The cleaners will have to manually clear these items from the PWCS.

16. The success depends on the users of the PWCS.

17. There is no other choice for such estates.

Case Study 2: What's in a name like Parc Residences?

(Actung/Caution: This is a fictious story.)

HDB CEO: "I have a total of five siblings".

HDB CEO: "To tell you the truth, my siblings each live in (condos only}. For example: Parc Botannia, Parc Centros, Parc Rivera and Parc Life."

HDB CEO: "My youngest brother has his eyes for a home at Tengah! What better way then to name this one Parc Residences. And let him get a unit, here! - not condo nevermind - sounds like can already."

HDB CEO: "Get it, Got it?" LOL

(Actung: This is a fictious story. Hearsay only, LAH!) Hopefully, MND don't issue me a Pofma to retract this message... LOL

MND Minister: "Message fictious! Parc Botannia has not even T.O.P. Here's the Pofma!"

 

[Cecil Lee]

Case Study 3: Sha Qi from service road leading into the development's MSCP

1. Avoid low floors of stacks #104 and #106 especially #02-104 and #02-106:-

 

[Cecil Lee]

Case Study 4: Any concern if I select a unit facing a traffic junction?

1. Stack #180 directly facing the traffic junction.

2. Stacks #178 and also #158 and #160 are generally also considered as facing a junction.

3. Stacks #107 and #109 also faces a cross junction.

4. Learn more about the concerns (if any), here:-

 

[Cecil Lee]

Case Study 5: Common bins / bin lobby are already in an optimal placement location

1. One test I always do to see if the common bins are at a reasonable optimal location is to draw a circle.

2. If the common bin can be enclosed nicely within the circle(s) - see below, this is traditional and "hard to fault" position.

3. Furthermore, usually no unit front door faces the bin lobby/bins. 

3.1. Although, it is inevitable that often one unit could be close-by to the bin lobby.

 

[Cecil Lee]

Case Study 6: What a pity great views but direct afternoon sun

1. Personally, I dislike living in any afternoon sun home. Worse if it has direct afternoon sun. 

2. Thus to me it is a great pity that stacks like #141, #143, #149 and #151 have great unblocked greenery view... 

3. These stacks also have direct afternoon sun: #108, #110 #116 & #118:-

[Cecil Lee]

Case Study 7: An Olympic sized pool really for HDB Parc Residences?

1. I heard a rumour that HDB Parc Residences will get a swimming pool as shown, here:-

2. Sorry, the above is FAKE news!

3. What I wanted to illustrate is that for higher floors that have a view of swimming pool... Sorry! I mean the MSCP roof garden, 

4. This "wrap" around the MSCP car park garden is not a new concept. One of the earliest design concept was the Phase 1 where inner units also has similar wrap around the MSCP roof-garden.

5. The idea is that a water position simply means that nothing can be built above it. And if any unit faces such a "water position" will have clear-space or clear-view up to at least the pool or water position.

6. For units at HDB Parc Residences, common sense says that one should try to get higher than the MSCP roof-garden to enjoy such a view!

6.1. In addition, even if the unit is above the MSCP roof-line, there might be lamp posts on the roof-garden to cause a poison arrow!

6.1.1. Thus safest is perhaps a higher unit!

7. Okay, this is indeed the correct site plan. No real water position. But nevertheless this is called: VIRTUAL WATER position.

Case Study 8: Sha Qi from stack 133 aimed towards stacks #137 and #139

1. To understand this type of Sha Qi, additional resources can be found under this link:-

[Cecil Lee]

Case Study 9: Planners did a decent job of locating the two Precinct Pavillios (PPs).

1. But nevertheless, there will often be some stacks that may be affected by the PP.

 

[Cecil Lee]

Case Study 10: Potential Poison Arrow(s) from sharp corner of MSCP aimed towards lower floors of #124 and #194

1. As the MSCP is 4/5 storeys high, best to purchase a higher unit often to be safe, greater than 6 or more levels high.

2. Even if the unit is higher than the 4/5 storeys; there can also be the lamp posts on the roof garden.

2.1. These lamp posts can equally be a potential poison arrow if aimed to say unit 130 window openings.

[Cecil Lee]

Case Study 11: Both plots belong to the state. Yet, they are divided in an odd manner.

1. Why like this (in yellow)?

2. Okay, the above is considered mild in comparison to this Garden Vale @ Tengah:-

Credit: Streetdirectory.com

3. Hopefully, HDB has a good reason for such a sub-division of territory.

5. And yes, the planner(s) of Parc Residence and Garden Vale must not be allowed ever to plan roads and highways. LOL

[Cecil Lee]

Case Study 12: Site reserved for place of worship

1.  Still not known whether it is a Chinese / Indian temple, Church or Mosque.

2.  No matter what, there is often a stigma especially one's home faces such a facility. Even if stacks like #136 and #138 does not directly face it.

3. For stack #140 only from the service yard area can one visibly look directly towards this facility.

Case Study 13: Should I be concerned if my unit faces a school?

1. Generally, no issue. More of a Stigma.

2. To have a better understanding of the concerns (if any), please check this link's Part 3:

 

[Cecil Lee]

Case Study 14: Any issue living close to an Electrical Sub-Station ESS?

1. Scientifically, there is no known issue living above an ESS or close-by to it.

2. It al boils down to a stigma. Unfortunately, stigmas sometimes are diffcult to be shrugged off! Therefore, safest try to avoid lower floors or if such specific stacks/units: stacks #158, #160 and #107.
