Union Square Residences offers a wide range of residential configurations, from compact 463 sq ft one-bedroom apartments to a 4,833 sq ft penthouse.
While the development comprises 366 residences, the unit mix is not simply a progression from one to five bedrooms. Buyers can choose from compact, investment-oriented apartments; one- and two-bedroom units with studies; efficient family homes; premium layouts with household utility spaces; and large-format residences designed for affluent or multi-generational households.
Several layouts within the same bedroom category also provide very different living experiences.
For example, the 700 sq ft Type B2 and 732 sq ft Type B4 are separated by only 32 sq ft, yet their spatial arrangements are substantially different. Type B2 prioritises separation between the two bedrooms, while Type B4 provides a wider and more conventional living and dining area.
The distinction becomes even more pronounced among the larger residences. The 990 sq ft Type C1 provides three bedrooms and wet and dry kitchens, while the 1,066 sq ft Type C2P introduces a yard, store and separate WC. The 1,518 sq ft Type D1P then adds a private lift and junior master suite.
At the top of the unit mix, the 2,476 sq ft Sky Suites and 4,833 sq ft penthouse are not merely larger apartments. They function more like elevated landed homes, with multiple ensuite bedrooms, generous household service areas and several spaces for family members to gather or retreat.
This review examines each layout and determines which buyer profiles suit each unit type best.

Understanding the “(d)” Variants
The A1(d), B2(d), B3(d), C1(d) and C2P(d) units are special Level 32 configurations.
They retain the same stated floor area as their standard counterparts but have an estimated 3.75-metre-high ceiling over selected common areas. Depending on the layout, this may include the living room, dining area and dry kitchen.
The additional ceiling height does not increase the stated strata area, but it can significantly change how the apartment feels. A higher ceiling creates greater volume, allows more daylight to penetrate the interior and gives the common area a more luxurious character.
These units may therefore appeal to owner-occupiers who value spatial experience more than raw floor area.
However, buyers should not assume that the higher ceiling automatically permits a loft or mezzanine. Any platform, overhead storage or structural alteration would remain subject to the approved plans, applicable regulations and management approval.
Investors should also assess the price premium carefully. Tenants may appreciate the additional ceiling height, but the rental increase may not always be proportionate to the higher purchase price.
1. Type A1 and A1(d) — 1 Bedroom, 463 sq ft
Best suited for: Investors, singles, city-based professionals and buyers seeking a compact weekday residence
Type A1 is the smallest apartment at Union Square Residences. Its straightforward configuration keeps circulation space to a minimum.
The entrance opens into the kitchen, followed by the dining and living area. The balcony extends from the living room, while the master bedroom and bathroom occupy the opposite side of the apartment.
An efficient entry-level layout
Most of the internal space is devoted to usable functions rather than long passageways. The combined living and dining area has a relatively regular shape, making it possible to accommodate a compact dining table, sofa and television console.
The bedroom is also separated from the entrance and kitchen. This provides more privacy when visitors are present.
Unlike layouts where the bedroom depends on borrowed light from the living room, the Type A1 bedroom has its own external-facing window.
Points to consider
The kitchen forms part of the entrance passage and cannot be completely separated from the living area in its original configuration. Buyers who cook frequently will need to consider ventilation and odour management.
Storage may also become limited when two people occupy the apartment. Although the unit performs well as a compact one-bedroom home, it does not provide the supplementary study or storage flexibility found in the larger A2S and A3S layouts.
Who should buy Type A1?
Type A1 is the clearest investment-oriented layout within the development. Its smaller floor area may help keep the overall purchase price below that of the one-bedroom-plus-study alternatives while still providing a proper bedroom.
The unit could appeal to tenants working in the Central Business District, Marina Bay, Clarke Quay and surrounding commercial areas. It may also suit professionals who maintain a larger family home elsewhere but want a conveniently located residence during the working week.
The Level 32 A1(d) offers the same stated area with the added benefit of a higher ceiling over the living and dining zone.
2. Type A2S — 1 Bedroom + Study, 506 sq ft
Best suited for: Single owner-occupiers, professional couples, hybrid workers and buyers wanting a flexible supplementary space
Type A2S adds 43 sq ft over Type A1 and uses the additional area to create a dedicated study near the entrance.
This is not merely a desk inserted into the living room. The study occupies its own recess beside the bathroom and can function as a proper home office, storage area, reading corner or hobby space.
The bedroom is situated deeper inside the apartment, while the living room connects directly to the balcony.
Why the study is valuable
For someone who works from home regularly, a separate study creates a clearer distinction between professional and personal life.
It prevents the bedroom from becoming both a sleeping area and workspace, while allowing the main living room to remain available for relaxation and entertaining.
The space could also be fitted with storage or used as an occasional guest zone, although buyers should evaluate its ventilation and dimensions before treating it as another bedroom.
Who should buy Type A2S?
Type A2S is one of the more balanced choices for a single owner-occupier. It provides enough flexibility to support changing work and lifestyle needs without moving into the higher price bracket of a two-bedroom apartment.
It can also work for couples who do not need a second bedroom but want a defined work area.
3. Type A3S — 1 Bedroom + Study, 506 sq ft
Best suited for: Investors, professional couples, hybrid workers and buyers needing additional storage near the entrance
Type A3S has the same 506 sq ft area as Type A2S but adopts a more linear configuration.
The study is positioned immediately beside the entrance, followed by the kitchen, dining and living areas. The bedroom occupies the opposite end of the apartment, providing greater separation from the entrance and common areas.
More than just a workspace
Although designated as a study, this space does not necessarily need to function as a home office. Its location beside the entrance makes it equally useful as a dedicated storage area.
Full-height cabinetry could be installed to accommodate luggage, travel equipment, and other bulky items used only occasionally. Additional compartments could also be planned for shoes, handbags, backpacks and everyday accessories, reducing clutter within the bedroom and living room.
For frequent travellers, this arrangement is particularly practical. Suitcases can be stored near the entrance instead of occupying valuable wardrobe space in the bedroom. Shoes and bags can also be accessed before leaving the apartment without returning to the private areas.
Alternatively, the space could combine both functions. One side could accommodate a compact desk, while the remaining walls provide integrated cabinetry for luggage, shoes and bags.
A flexible entrance zone
Using the study for storage can help Type A3S overcome a common limitation of compact one-bedroom apartments: the lack of a proper utility or storeroom.
With carefully designed carpentry, the area could function almost like a walk-in storage room or an enlarged foyer. Concealed cabinets would keep the entrance visually tidy while keeping the main living and bedroom areas relatively uncluttered.
Residents who work from home can instead retain it as a study. Its position near the entrance creates a work zone that is clearly separated from the bedroom, allowing professional activities to remain at the front of the apartment.
A2S or A3S?
Type A2S may appeal more to buyers who want a study integrated with the private portion of the home.
Type A3S is better suited to buyers who want a flexible entrance zone that can function as a workspace, luggage store, shoe cabinet, bag-storage area or a combination of these uses.
For buyers who travel frequently or own more belongings than a typical one-bedroom apartment can comfortably accommodate, the A3S study’s placement may provide greater day-to-day value than using it solely as a home office.
4. Type B1 — 2 Bedroom, 710 sq ft
Best suited for: Couples, small families and investors targeting longer-term tenants
Type B1 follows a conventional two-bedroom arrangement. The kitchen, dining and living areas occupy one side of the apartment, while the two bedrooms and bathrooms are positioned along the other.
The master bedroom includes an attached bathroom, while the common bathroom serves Bedroom 2 and visitors.
A familiar and practical configuration
Type B1’s strength lies in its straightforward planning. The common and private zones are clearly identifiable, and visitors do not need to enter either bedroom to use the common bathroom.
The second bedroom can accommodate a child, guest, tenant or full-time home office. This gives Type B1 a broader tenant and resale audience than a one-bedroom-plus-study apartment.
What buyers should consider
The kitchen remains open and forms part of the route from the entrance. Buyers who cook heavily may prefer one of the larger layouts with a wet kitchen.
There is also no dedicated study, yard or store. A resident working permanently from home may need to use Bedroom 2 or incorporate a desk into the living area.
5. Type B2 and B2(d) — 2 Bedroom, 700 sq ft
Best suited for: Couples, shared households, small families and buyers prioritising bedroom separation
Although Type B2 is 10 sq ft smaller than Type B1, its layout follows a very different logic.
The living and dining area occupies the centre of the apartment, with the two bedrooms positioned on opposite sides. This creates a loose dumbbell-style arrangement and reduces the need for a long bedroom corridor.
Greater privacy between bedrooms
The master bedroom and Bedroom 2 do not share a wall. This can be valuable when the second room is occupied by an unrelated tenant, older child, guest or someone working irregular hours.
Each bedroom occupies a more independent zone, while the central living area becomes the shared heart of the apartment.
Who should buy Type B2?
Type B2 is particularly suitable for couples who host overnight guests or investors considering two unrelated occupants.
The Level 32 B2(d) adds an estimated 3.75-metre-high ceiling over the living and dining area, making the central common space feel more generous despite the apartment’s relatively compact floor area.
6. Type B3 and B3(d) — 2 Bedroom, 721 sq ft
Best suited for: Couples, small families and buyers who value greater entrance storage and privacy for the bedrooms
Type B3 measures 721 sq ft, making it 11 sq ft larger than the 710 sq ft Type B1. Much of this difference comes from the additional foyer space at the entrance.
While the extra area may not sound substantial, it can provide useful day-to-day functionality. Built-in cabinetry could be installed along the foyer to store additional shoes, while smaller compartments can accommodate frequently used items such as keys, umbrellas, reusable bags and other accessories.
This creates a more organised arrival zone and prevents these everyday items from cluttering the kitchen, dining area or living room.
Beyond the foyer, the kitchen, dining and living spaces form a continuous sequence leading towards the balcony. Both bedrooms are positioned deeper inside the apartment, with the bathrooms separating the common and private zones.
A more practical entrance and greater bedroom privacy
The additional foyer is the main distinction between Types B1 and B3. Type B1 uses a more compact entrance arrangement, while Type B3 provides more space to create a dedicated storage and drop-off area.
Residents could incorporate a full-height shoe cabinet, an umbrella compartment, a ledge for keys and other small personal items, or even a small seat for putting on shoes. With careful carpentry planning, this space can function as an organised transition between the common corridor and the home.
The position of the bedrooms also gives the household greater privacy. Visitors entering the apartment remain within the foyer, kitchen, dining and living zones, while both bedrooms are located farther inside.
Grouping the bedrooms together may also be more practical for parents with a young child, as the second bedroom remains close to the master bedroom.
The Level 32 B3(d) retains the same 721 sq ft area while adding an estimated 3.75-metre-high ceiling over the living area, creating a stronger sense of openness within the common space.
7. Type B4 — 2 Bedroom, 732 sq ft
Best suited for: Owner-occupiers, downsizers and small families prioritising a generous common area
Type B4 has one of the widest living and dining configurations within the two-bedroom category.
Rather than organising the common spaces along a narrow corridor, the apartment opens into a broader living and dining zone. The balcony extends from the living room, while the bedrooms are positioned deeper inside the apartment.
Why Type B4 stands out
The wider common area gives Type B4 a more conventional residential quality. Furniture can be arranged more naturally, and the dining table is less likely to obstruct movement between the entrance and living room.
The kitchen also benefits from a longer counter arrangement than several of the narrower two-bedroom layouts.
Who should buy Type B4?
Type B4 is one of the stronger two-bedroom choices for owner-occupation. It suits buyers who spend significant time at home and value the living and dining experience more than a separate study.
Downsizers who do not require extensive utility spaces may also find its wider common area more familiar and comfortable.
8. Type B5S — 2 Bedroom + Study, 743 sq ft
Best suited for: Hybrid-working couples, young families and buyers seeking maximum flexibility within the two-bedroom category
Type B5S is the largest two-bedroom layout and the only one to include a dedicated study.
The study is positioned near the entrance, while the bedrooms occupy the opposite side of the apartment. The living room opens onto the balcony, and the kitchen and dining area form a continuous common zone.
The most adaptable two-bedroom layout
The study can function as a home office, storage room, hobby space or nursery support area. It keeps both bedrooms available for sleeping, which is particularly important for a couple with a child who also works from home.
For investors, the additional study may differentiate the unit from conventional two-bedroom apartments when targeting tenants with hybrid working arrangements.
B4 or B5S?
Type B5S is only 11 sq ft larger than B4. The study was therefore created by reallocating internal space rather than substantially increasing size.
Buyers must decide whether they prefer B5S’s supplementary workspace or B4’s wider, more open living environment.
9. Type C1 and C1(d) — 3 Bedroom, 990 sq ft
Best suited for: Nuclear families, owner-occupiers and buyers seeking an efficient three-bedroom city home
Type C1 provides three proper bedrooms within 990 sq ft.
One of its main advantages is the combination of wet and dry kitchens. The dry kitchen faces the dining area, while the wet kitchen occupies a more enclosed section behind it.
This arrangement separates heavier food preparation from the main living space.
Efficient family planning
All three bedrooms are grouped together, making the configuration suitable for families with younger children.
The master bedroom has an attached bathroom, while the common bathroom serves Bedrooms 2 and 3 as well as visitors. The living room connects to a balcony, and the rectangular common area should accommodate conventional living and dining furniture.
What is missing
Despite having separate wet and dry kitchens, Type C1 does not provide a dedicated yard, store or separate WC.
Laundry facilities remain within the kitchen zone. For families employing a live-in helper or requiring considerable household storage, this may become a limitation.
Who should buy Type C1?
Type C1 is best understood as an efficient three-bedroom apartment for a nuclear family. It suits parents with one or two children who want proper bedrooms and better kitchen separation without paying for the additional service spaces of Type C2P.
The C1(d) on Level 32 adds an estimated 3.75-metre-high ceiling across the living, dining and dry-kitchen zone.
10. Type C2P and C2P(d) — 3 Bedroom Premium, 1,066 sq ft
Best suited for: Owner-occupier families, households that cook frequently and buyers prioritising utility spaces
Type C2P is 76 sq ft larger than Type C1, but its functional advantages are more important than the numerical increase in floor area.
The premium layout introduces:
- Wet and dry kitchens
- A proper yard
- A store
- A separate WC
- A more clearly defined household service zone
A more complete family home
The yard creates a dedicated area for laundry and household tasks, rather than incorporating them into the main kitchen.
The store can accommodate luggage, cleaning equipment and other bulky household items. Alternatively, it could potentially be used as a domestic helper’s room, while the separate WC provides an additional sanitary facility for the household.
The three bedrooms are grouped along one side of the apartment, while the living, dining and kitchen spaces occupy the other. This creates a clear distinction between the private and social zones.
Who should buy Type C2P?
Type C2P is the more complete option for long-term family occupation. Its service spaces are particularly valuable for families with children, regular cooking, and greater storage needs.
The C2P(d) adds the high-ceiling treatment to the living, dining and dry-kitchen zone, combining household practicality with a more luxurious spatial experience.
11. Type D1P — 4 Bedroom Premium, 1,518 sq ft
Best suited for: Larger families, multi-generational households, affluent owner-occupiers and privacy-focused buyers
At 1,518 sq ft, Type D1P is not simply a three-bedroom layout with an added room.
It introduces a private lift lobby, junior master suite, main master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, three bathrooms, wet and dry kitchens, a yard, a separate WC, and a substantially larger living and dining area.
Private-lift arrival
The private lift opens into a dedicated lobby before entering the apartment.
This provides a greater sense of exclusivity and prevents the main entrance from opening directly onto a shared corridor. It is especially useful for buyers who place a premium on privacy or entertain regularly.
Two ensuite bedrooms
In addition to the main master suite, the junior master bedroom has its own bathroom.
This arrangement suits a multi-generational household. Elderly parents, an adult child or long-staying guests can occupy the junior master suite while retaining greater privacy.
A more luxurious master suite
The master bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom with a bathtub.
The separation between the sleeping, dressing and bathing zones gives the master suite a more complete and luxurious character than those found in the smaller unit types.
Strong household functionality
The wet kitchen is positioned behind the dining area, while the dry kitchen provides a presentable interface with the common space.
A yard and separate WC support laundry and household tasks, making the unit considerably more suitable for a live-in helper than Types C1 and C2P.
Suitable For Larger Or Multi-Generational Families
The balcony is connected to the living room and is relatively substantial. Type D1P is primarily an owner-occupier layout. Its combination of private-lift access, two ensuite bedrooms and complete service spaces makes it suitable for larger or multi-generational families.
12. Type E1P Sky Suite — 5 Bedroom, 2,476 sq ft
Units: #38-08 and #39-08
Best suited for: Affluent families, multi-generational households, senior executives and buyers seeking a landed-home experience within a central high-rise development
Only two E1P Sky Suites are available, occupying Levels 38 and 39.
At 2,476 sq ft, the Sky Suite is 958 sq ft larger than Type D1P. More importantly, the additional area creates a distinctly different residence category.
The layout provides five bedrooms, including a master suite and junior master suite, along with a family room, wet and dry kitchens, a private lift lobby, a yard, a powder room, and multiple household service spaces.
Five bedrooms with a clear hierarchy
The apartment contains:
- A main master suite
- A junior master suite
- Bedroom 3
- Bedroom 4
- Bedroom 5
The master bedroom is positioned in its own private wing and connects to a large walk-in wardrobe and master bathroom.
At the opposite end of the apartment, the junior master bedroom also has a walk-in wardrobe and attached bathroom. Bedrooms 4 and 5 share access to Bath 4, while Bedroom 3 is positioned closer to the private lift and has Bath 3 beside it.
This arrangement gives the household considerable flexibility. Elderly parents could occupy the junior master suite, while children use the remaining bedrooms. Bedroom 3 could also function as a guest suite because it is located slightly apart from the other secondary bedrooms.
A separate family room
The family room is positioned between Bedrooms 4 and 5 and the wet kitchen.
This is a valuable addition for a large household because not every family member needs to use the formal living room at the same time. Children can watch television, study or spend time together in the family room while the main living area remains available for entertaining guests.
It also brings a more landed-home-like quality to the apartment. Instead of relying on a single living room for every activity, the home provides separate formal and informal gathering spaces.
Wet and dry kitchens
The dry kitchen includes an island and sits between the living area and wet kitchen. This allows it to function as both a food-preparation area and a social space.
The enclosed wet kitchen supports heavier cooking and is connected to the yard and household service zone. This separation should be especially useful for larger households or residents who entertain frequently.
Private-lift arrival and guest facilities
The private lift opens into a dedicated lobby beside the main entrance.
A powder room and separate WC are positioned near the lift and household service areas. Guests can therefore use the powder room without entering any of the bedroom zones.
This arrangement is more appropriate for formal entertaining than relying on a common bathroom shared with the bedrooms.
Who should buy the Sky Suite?
The Sky Suite is designed for families who need more than additional bedrooms. It suits buyers who want multiple living zones, space for extended family members, proper entertaining facilities and a clear separation between formal, private and household areas.
It could also appeal to buyers moving from a landed home who want to retain generous internal space while gaining the security, elevated views and facilities of a condominium.
13. Type PH Penthouse — 5 Bedroom, 4,833 sq ft
Unit: #40-08
Best suited for: Ultra-high-net-worth buyers, large multi-generational families, buyers moving from prime landed homes and collectors seeking a unique residence
The Type PH penthouse occupies Level 40 and measures 4,833 sq ft.
It is almost twice the size of the Sky Suite and more than three times the size of the four-bedroom Type D1P. Its scale places it in an entirely different residential category from the rest of the development.
The home includes five bedrooms, multiple family areas, a study, private lift, wet and dry kitchens, several balconies, extensive household service spaces and an estimated five-metre-high ceiling over the dining and family-living area.
A five-bedroom layout designed around bedroom suites
The penthouse contains:
- A main master suite
- A super junior master suite
- A junior master suite
- Bedroom 4
- Bedroom 5
The main master suite occupies its own wing. It includes a large walk-in wardrobe, a substantial master bathroom, and a private balcony.
The super junior master suite is positioned in another section of the home and includes its own walk-in wardrobe and attached bathroom. A second junior master suite also has an ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe.
This means three generations of a family could each occupy a bedroom suite with meaningful privacy.
For example, the main owners could use the master suite, elderly parents could occupy one junior master suite, and an adult child or married offspring could use the other.
Multiple living and family zones
The penthouse does not depend on a single oversized living room.
The principal social area includes a dining space and family-living zone beside the main balcony. An additional living area occupies the upper portion of the plan, while another family room is located closer to Bedroom 5.
These separate spaces allow different activities to take place simultaneously. Guests can be entertained in one zone while children or other family members use the informal living areas.
This spatial separation is particularly important in a 4,833 sq ft home. Simply enlarging one living room would not provide the same level of flexibility.
An estimated five-metre-high ceiling
One of the penthouse’s defining features is the estimated five-metre-high ceiling over the dining and family-living area.
This gives the main entertaining zone the scale of a double-volume residence and differentiates it from a conventional large apartment.
The increased height can support larger lighting features, more dramatic interior detailing and a stronger visual connection with the balcony. It should also make the central common area feel more ceremonial when receiving guests.
Extensive entertaining facilities
The dry kitchen includes a substantial island and is positioned beside the dining area. It can function as a show kitchen, breakfast area or gathering point during social occasions.
The enclosed wet kitchen supports heavier food preparation and is supplemented by another kitchen zone within the lower section of the apartment.
This gives the household considerably more food-preparation capacity than a conventional condominium unit. It may also allow formal entertaining and everyday family cooking to take place separately.
A proper study
The dedicated study occupies a sizeable space within the private portion of the home.
Unlike the compact studies in Types A2S, A3S and B5S, this is large enough to function as a serious home office, library or private meeting room.
It can support a senior executive, business owner or professional who needs to work from home without using a bedroom or common living area.
Strong household service planning
The penthouse includes a yard, utility room, WC, storage areas and multiple kitchen zones.
These facilities allow household operations to take place away from the formal living and dining spaces. The utility room could support a live-in helper, although buyers should confirm the space’s approved use and suitability.
For a home of this size, these back-of-house areas are essential. Without them, household tasks would intrude into the primary living zones.
Who should buy the penthouse?
The penthouse is not intended for buyers simply seeking the highest floor or largest unit.
Its configuration is most relevant to:
- Large multi-generational families
- Buyers moving from a Good Class Bungalow or prime landed home
- Affluent families wanting several independent bedroom suites
- Business owners who entertain at home
- Buyers who require both formal and informal living spaces
- Collectors seeking a unique residence with limited substitutability
From an investment perspective, the penthouse will have a much narrower rental and resale audience than the smaller apartments. Its appeal lies in rarity, scale and exclusivity rather than conventional rental yield.
Which Union Square Residences Unit Type Is Best?
There is no single best layout because the correct choice depends on the buyer’s lifestyle, household structure and investment objective.
Best compact investment unit: Type A1
Type A1 provides a proper one-bedroom configuration at the lowest floor area. It is the most direct choice for investors focused on entry quantum and tenant demand from centrally based professionals.
Best one-bedroom for owner-occupation: Type A2S or A3S
Both layouts offer greater flexibility than Type A1. Type A2S provides more integrated zoning, while Type A3S positions the workspace/storage area nearer the entrance and farther from the bedroom.
Best two-bedroom for bedroom privacy: Type B2
The separation between its bedrooms makes Type B2 suitable for unrelated occupants, long-staying guests or households where the second resident values greater independence.
Best two-bedroom for owner-occupation: Type B4
Type B4’s wider living and dining area gives it a more conventional residential quality than the narrower two-bedroom layouts.
Best flexible two-bedroom: Type B5S
The dedicated study makes Type B5S the most adaptable choice for hybrid workers and couples planning to start a family.
Best efficient family unit: Type C1
Type C1 accommodates three proper bedrooms and wet and dry kitchens within 990 sq ft. It suits families that do not require extensive service spaces.
Best complete three-bedroom home: Type C2P
The yard, store and separate WC give Type C2P a significant functional advantage for longer-term family occupation.
Best four-bedroom family home: Type D1P
The private lift, junior master suite, walk-in wardrobe and complete household service zone make Type D1P suitable for larger and multi-generational families.
Best luxury multi-generational residence: Type E1P Sky Suite
The five bedrooms, two master suites, family room and separated household zones allow several generations to live together without sacrificing privacy.
Most exclusive residence: Type PH Penthouse
The 4,833 sq ft penthouse offers a combination of scale, multiple living zones, three bedroom suites, extensive service areas and an estimated five-metre-high ceiling that cannot be replicated by the smaller layouts.
Final Assessment
Union Square Residences offers more than a conventional progression from compact apartments to larger family homes.
The one-bedroom units are designed around the needs of investors, singles and professional couples. The study variants recognise that compact city residences increasingly need to support hybrid work.
The two-bedroom category gives buyers a meaningful choice between bedroom separation, a wider common area and a dedicated study. Type B2 prioritises privacy between occupants, Type B4 offers a stronger owner-occupier living experience, and Type B5S provides the greatest flexibility.
Among the three-bedroom homes, Type C1 focuses on efficient use of space, while Type C2P introduces the service areas required for more complete long-term family living.
Type D1P marks the transition into the premium segment with its private lift, two ensuite bedrooms and improved household functionality.
The Sky Suites and penthouse then move beyond the conventional condominium format. Their additional space is not used merely to enlarge the bedrooms and living room. Instead, it creates multiple master suites, family rooms, formal entertaining areas, household service zones and stronger separation between generations.
Buyers should therefore look beyond the stated bedroom count and floor area. The most appropriate unit will depend on whether the priority is entry quantum, rental flexibility, hybrid working, family growth, household functionality, privacy or multi-generational living.
For investors, a compact and efficient apartment may provide the most manageable overall quantum. For owner-occupiers, paying more for the right configuration—whether that means a study, wider living room, proper yard, junior master suite or multiple family zones—may deliver far greater long-term value than simply choosing the largest unit within the budget.
