Jervois Mansion - new condo launched with a design that focuses on the value of life
As one of the new condo projects that impress quality apartment seekers, Jervois Mansion is a redevelopment of a long-standing project built more than 38 years ago. Previously, the site had three Good Class Bungalows (GCB), which Aw purchased in turn in 1980. He later combined the three sites to create a 93,183 sq ft free-standing site. With a spacious area, Jervois Mansion currently has 32 units completed in 1985 and Kimen Group has kept this property for investment for many years.
Existing Jervois Mansions tenants will move out of the facility in Q3 2022 to clear the way for its redevelopment. The new 130-unit building, Jervois Mansion, will span six five-storey blocks. Units range from one bed at 495 square feet to five-bedroom, dual-locked apartments measuring 1,808 square feet. Only two units at Jervois Mansion were available for sale at the end of October 16, the 4-bedroom unit and the 5-bedroom unit. They will cost over $2,800 psf. Kimen Group's Aw says it's still a very reasonable price compared to the nearby Bis Bishopgate Building.

Comments from experts about Jervois Mansion - new condo launched are highly sought after.
Jervois Mansion is in the top of the sought-after new condo launches, so what makes it so attractive. According to the latest information, more than 300 checks were received for expressions of interest in the two weeks leading up to the launch of Jervois Mansion. According to Ken Low, managing partner of SRI, one of three real estate companies marketing the project, said that among the buyers there are a number of permanent residents and foreigners, most of which are local Singaporeans.
As demand spiked, the final 22 were priced from $2,706 psf to $2,900 psf. “There was a frenzy when units ran out,” says SRI’s Low. “It shows the strength of the luxury market, especially when it comes to a quality project in a prime location.” About 35% or 36 units went to multi-unit buyers. “These are people who buy for their children as a legacy, with free ownership, prime location in Jervois, and power of design and efficiency of layout,” continued Low.
According to Dominic Lee, luxury team leader at PropNex, conversion rates for multi-unit purchases are significantly higher than the norm. He reckons Jervois Mansion has more than 70%, compared to the usual 30% conversion rate for most projects.

According to Lee commented, besides the price, the size of the project and its land area have added to its attractiveness. With nearly 100,000 sqft of vacant land, and the roofs of six blocks connected by bridges, the developer was able to create spacious landscaping and facilities. In addition, Doris Ong, COO of ERA Realty Network also agrees that the landscape of the project attracts a lot of people. She added that most buyers will be attracted by the price of the project, but when they enter the sales showroom, it is the product that attracts them. Price becomes a second consideration.
She also sees strong sales at Jervois Mansion opening the way for sales at other projects in the prime district 10 area. For example, following the launch of Jervois Mansion, an apartment at Petit Jervois was also sold on October 16. SC Global Developments' 55-unit luxury project was launched in November 2018. Based on Forewarnings, nine units have been sold to date, the latest in July, at a high of $2,944 psf.For Kimen Group, the advantage of the project is familiarity with the site, having been there for 38 years. By Aw day most of the buyers are familiar with the Jervois area and they love the neighborhood. The 25 units that the group is holding are high-end 3 and 4 bedroom units, which will give it about 20% stake in terms of stratification and value sharing in the development. That will also give it a say in any future redevelopment of the project.
