CityLights: Modern Living Meets Rich Heritage in a Well-Connected Location
CityLights offers urban living with a rich heritage and stunning views. This 600-unit development features heritage townhouses and is located beside Lavender MRT station, providing easy access to the city centre and the rest of the island. In addition to its incredible connectivity, CityLights boasts stunning views and numerous facilities, which we will explore in detail in this article, focusing on the four levels of facilities available within the development.
A Look at the Development’s Block Layout and Heritage Townhouses
CityLights is divided into five blocks: 80, 82, 86, 88, and 90. Blocks 86, 88, and 90 boast a northwest-southeast orientation, directly facing Kallang Road. This positioning maximizes stunning views of the Kallang Basin and the neighbouring low-rise landed houses.
Block 80 stands out with a perpendicular placement compared to the others. This unique layout allows units to face east towards the charming low-rise Geylang estates and the Kallang Basin.
Adding a touch of history, the development incorporates a series of 10 heritage-conserved townhouses. Nestled in the heart of CityLights, these townhouses run parallel to blocks 86, 88, and 90.
Sky High Living: The Level 24 Facilities Deck
The Level 24 Facilities Deck offers residents unparalleled panoramic views of the Kallang Basin. This shared space connects Blocks 86, 88, and 90, ensuring easy access for all residents.
The double-volume deck features a collection of sky terraces. Lush greenery weaves throughout these open-air spaces, creating pockets of privacy and tranquillity where residents can relax and soak in the fresh air. This thoughtful design allows for both social areas and intimate nooks while maintaining expansive views.
The deck cleverly incorporates a dedicated outdoor fitness corner and jacuzzi, allowing residents to embrace a healthy lifestyle and unwind in a breathtaking setting.
A Green Oasis: The Level 6 Facilities Deck
Located directly above the multi-storey car park and connecting Blocks 86, 88, and 90, the Level 6 Facilities Deck offers a spacious haven for residents. This expansive terrace surpasses the size of its 24th-floor counterpart and boasts a unique layout.
Dual tennis courts take centre stage, separated by a well-equipped fitness corner. Meandering walkways, similar to those on Level 24, weave through the space, creating pockets of privacy and tranquillity. For a touch of serenity, water features add a calming ambience to the environment.
The landscaping on Level 6 is more visually complex than the rooftop deck. A blend of exercise equipment, open terraces, and strategically placed trees creates a vibrant area. This design choice complements the heritage townhouses nestled in the heart of the development, which residents can admire while enjoying the outdoor exercise facilities.
A Touch of History and Tranquility: The Level 1 Facilities Deck
Nestled beside the charming heritage houses sits the Level 1 Facilities Deck, seamlessly connecting Blocks 86, 88, and 90 to the main clubhouse and amenities. One of the meticulously restored heritage houses has been cleverly repurposed to house the management office and a tranquil reading room.
Water features weave their way throughout this level, creating a serene atmosphere. A cascading water feature stretches elegantly across the entire row of heritage houses, adding a touch of movement and sound. A captivating water feature wall acts as a bridge, visually connecting the upper clubhouse level with this tranquil space below.
To further enhance the experience, an ornamental pond teeming with colourful Koi fish graces the area, adding a touch of life and vibrancy to the entire waterscape.
Enveloped in Greenery: The Clubhouse Sanctuary
The elevated clubhouse offers residents a secluded escape between Block 80 and the activity deck. Privacy is a key theme here, with lush greenery and trees creating intimate pockets around the main pool, splash pool, and Jacuzzis.
Though separated by two levels, a cascading water feature seamlessly connects the clubhouse area with the facilities deck below.
CityLights presents a unique opportunity to live at the intersection of modern convenience and rich heritage. Residents can enjoy stunning views, a wealth of amenities across four distinct levels, and easy access to the rest of Singapore. Whether seeking relaxation in the tranquil gardens, unwinding by the pool, or staying active on the tennis courts, CityLights caters to various lifestyles. With its thoughtful design and commitment to heritage preservation, CityLights offers a truly distinctive living experience.
