Alex Residences

Alex Residences at 28 Alexandra View is a 99-year leasehold condominium located in District 3, situated in the prime city-fringe enclave of Redhill. It is an RCR (Rest of Central Region) development. Known for its slender, towering 40-storey profile and hotel-inspired architecture, the project distinguishes itself from its larger neighbours like Echelon and Artra by focusing on a chic, boutique lifestyle. It is particularly famous for having one of the highest rooftop infinity pools in the area, offering 360-degree views of the Singapore skyline and Sentosa.

Key project facts

• Type & tenure: Private residential condominium on a 99-year leasehold tenure (starting from 2013).

• Completion & scale: Completed around 2017 with 429 residential units packed into a single tower, creating a high-density but exclusive vertical community.

• Developer: Developed by Singland Homes (Singapore Land Group), a major player known for developments like V on Shenton and Mon Jervois.

Location and connectivity

• Address & setting: Located at 28 Alexandra View, it sits in a quiet cul-de-sac just off Alexandra Road. The site is compact, which encourages a vertical rather than horizontal living experience.

• MRT access: Excellent connectivity, situated approximately 3 to 5 minutes’ walk from Redhill MRT station (East-West Line). This provides direct access to the CBD (Tanjong Pagar/Raffles Place) in under 10 minutes.

• Road links: Highly accessible via Alexandra Road and Tiong Bahru Road, with quick connections to the Central Expressway (CTE) and Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE). Driving to Orchard Road or the CBD takes roughly 10–15 minutes off-peak.

Layouts and design

• Unit mix: The development is heavily skewed towards smaller units, ranging from 1-bedroom to 3-bedroom configurations. The 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units are compact, designed specifically for singles, couples, and investors.

• Design approach: The architecture mimics a modern business hotel. The units feature high-quality finishes but are known for being efficient rather than spacious. Common bedrooms in some layouts can be quite snug, often fitting a single bed or requiring a creative use of space.

• Positioning: Targets the young, mobile professional and the investor market. It is less family-centric compared to the sprawling grounds of The Crest or Principal Garden nearby.

Facilities and lifestyle

• Facilities: The crown jewel is the Sky Park on the 40th floor, featuring an infinity lap pool, party lounge, and dining pavilion with spectacular unblocked views. Other facility decks are distributed on levels 4, 14, and 24 to break up the verticality.

• Living environment: Cosmopolitan and private. The vibe is very much “city living,” appealing to those who view their home as a sanctuary to crash in after a busy day of work or socializing.

• Nearby amenities: Residents benefit from the amenities of neighbouring condos, such as the supermarket and shops at Artra next door. The Redhill Market and Food Centre is also a short walk away for affordable local food.

Market and buyer appeal

• Resale positioning: Trades at a competitive quantum due to the smaller unit sizes. It offers one of the most affordable entry points for a relatively new high-rise condo in District 3 compared to the larger floor plates at Echelon.

• Rental demand: Extremely strong rental catchment. The proximity to the CBD and the “hotel” feel makes it a top choice for single expatriates and young couples working in the financial district or One-North.

• Key appeal: The view and the vibe. The rooftop pool is a major selling point that often seals the deal for tenants and buyers who want a “trophy view” without the price tag of a Marina Bay property.
