The Keppel Bay Collection: A gateway to prestigious living
Nestled in the heart of Harbourfront and Telok Blangah precincts lies the exclusive Keppel Bay — a haven for those seeking luxury and convenience. Imagine waking up to the gentle sea breeze, with Sentosa’s pristine beaches and vibrant attractions just a stone’s throw away. Or picture a leisurely hike up Mount Faber, immersing yourself in the beauty of day and city night views that stretch as far as the eye can see.
The Keppel Bay area is celebrated for its stunning scenery, with picturesque sea views and lush greenery stretching towards Bukit Chermin, a small hill beside Keppel Harbour. Here, the Singapore Land Authority bungalows add to the charm of the landscape.
Realtor Jay Peck aims to provide discerning buyers with a unique luxury lifestyle through his handpicked selection of condo units, dubbed “The Keppel Bay Collection.”
Among the three condos along this stretch, with one more upcoming development, The Reef At King’s Dock, Caribbean at Keppel Bay stands out with its unique offering — every unit comes with a private lift, and the layouts are predominantly squarish-shaped, featuring good-size enclosed kitchens. Corals, a low-density property in Peck’s Keppel Bay Collection, boasts warm interiors and a cosy, exclusive living experience.
Meanwhile, Reflections at Keppel Bay stands out for its unique curved glass towers that offer panoramic views of Mount Faber and Sentosa. It is renowned for its glossy façade and modern aesthetic.
Peck realised he was onto something extraordinary as he gained his clients’ trust in the locality, be they renters or property owners. He understood that his collection would attract only the most discerning buyers and investors, who grasped the potential for capital gain in owning a unit from the Keppel Bay Collection and its enduring lifestyle benefits.
The resale units from different owners allow buyers to move into an established area without the typical wait associated with new developments. Peck’s approach in presenting his Keppel Bay Collection as a unified offering means various units are available to suit different lifestyles.
Underrated gems
One of the highlights of the Keppel Bay Collection is its proximity to VivoCity, one of the nation’s largest shopping malls, just a leisurely walk away. Additionally, its strategic location provides easy access to the Central Business District (CBD), making it ideal for working professionals looking for a convenient commute.
Despite all these positive factors, buyers looking at Keppel Bay may have reservations about buying properties there for investment or self-stay. “Some may look at plateauing past transactions in the area and wonder whether it’s a solid buy,” he says.
“There are currently some construction works happening closer to Reflections at Keppel Bay, which make it an unattractive project on the surface.”
Negative factors aside, many sellers in the area are seeing profitable returns under Peck’s guidance. With a portfolio of units under his purview, he has successfully matched their units to savvy buyers looking for underrated gems to invest in.
Peck emphasises the importance of selecting a unit that meets current needs and stands the test of time. Having various options makes it easier for buyers to find such a unit, which is why he assembled this collection.
Another concern that some
buyers have when considering Reflections is primarily due to the diverse layouts within the condominium. “Buyers often get overwhelmed by this range of differing options and may give up prematurely,” he says.
To address this concern, he recommends that buyers work with agents with in-depth knowledge of the area’s developments. These agents should understand the buyers’ requirements and guide them towards the units that best suit their preferences. He adds: “I’ve helped many clients set up their dream home among this collection!”
Luxe living at Keppel Bay
Living in Keppel Bay is not just about the luxurious amenities and stunning views but primarily about its lifestyle: A holiday-like ambience with a strong community of locals and foreigners.
The Keppel Bay Collection offers several exceptional units featuring a unique blend of luxury, comfort and style. Together, they showcase the best of waterfront living in the city.
One standout unit is a three-bedroom apartment in Reflections spanning 1,808 sq ft. “The owner undertook major renovations less than four years ago, resulting in one of the larger three-bedroom layouts here,” says Peck. “The kitchen is a highlight, featuring a new dry island kitchen with a customised 90cm oven, another steam combination oven, a separate induction hob and a BBQ grill.”
The renovation features good quality materials, enhancing the unit’s appeal — a trait that Peck looks out for when selecting for the collection. For example, two spacious four-bedroom units for larger families are available in the Reflections tower block. “It’s quite challenging to find a large enough property for bigger families in newer projects that are not exorbitantly priced,” says Peck.
One of these units, spanning 2,605 sq ft, enjoys a balcony — a rare feature in this tower block — and offers stunning sea views. It is tastefully furnished and meticulously maintained. The other four-bedroom unit, covering 2,648 sq ft, provides peaceful green views, creating a serene and windy atmosphere.
At the Caribbean at Keppel Bay, a four-bedroom apartment spanning 1,873 sq ft has a private lift and offers breathtaking views of the yachts and waters. The primarily squarish layout ensures optimal space utilisation, with all bedrooms featuring en suite baths.
Peck also has a listing for a ground-floor four-bedroom unit in Corals at Keppel Bay. He says: “This spacious unit has a private pool and offers stunning views towards Sentosa. All rooms are en suite, and the unit features a huge kitchen with an island, ideal for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining.”
Spacious units, lush greenery
A 1,507 sq ft apartment in the villa block of Reflections is a compelling option for those seeking a two-bedroom unit. “This unit features a squarish layout with a spacious living room, perfect for hosting gatherings,” Peck adds. “Despite being a ground-floor unit, it offers a high level of privacy. The interior has been renovated with a modern, clean design, making it one of the larger two-bedroom units here.”
Two other two-bedroom units in the same property, each around 883 sq ft and 850 sq ft, belonging to the same owner, are on offer. Says Peck: “These units share a similar design theme in the living room, with one of the units featuring a renovated kitchen. While one unit offers views towards Sentosa, the other faces the lush greenery, providing a bright and tranquil living environment.”
A 1,012 sq ft apartment in Reflections is an excellent choice for those interested in a two-bedroom plus study unit. It boasts no visible columns, ensuring an unobstructed living space. It is also shielded from the west sun, providing a comfortable living environment.
He adds: “The current occupant has resided in this unit since its completion and has expressed great satisfaction with its views towards Sentosa and the tallest buildings in CBD.”
A savvy investment
Peck’s company has also been appointed to market Reef at King’s Dock, a new property in the area slated to TOP soon. This development boasts a unique floating pool deck that will enhance the opulent landscape of Keppel Bay.
“My carefully curated units represent the epitome of luxury living in Keppel Bay, and I’m determined that my buyers find a unit that not only meets their needs but also promises enduring value in one of Singapore’s most sought-after residential areas,” says Peck.
The future of Keppel Bay is bright, with the Greater Southern Waterfront and upcoming developments set to elevate the area’s value even further. Investing in the Keppel Bay Collection is not just a purchase but a savvy investment and lifestyle choice that promises luxury and convenience. It is an underrated piece of one of the island’s most prestigious precincts.
