MORI at Guillemard Road is an upcoming freehold residential development by Roxy-Pacific Holdings Limited located on 217-223A Guillemard Road and 1-21A Jalan Molek, District 14. It is expected to have 137 units over a gross floor area of approximately 114,364 sq ft and 37,131 sq ft of land area. It will be a low density eight-storey residential condominium with a basement car park and a sky landscaping deck.

Situated on Guillemard Road, MORI is located within the culturally rich and highly sought-after township of Geylang. It is one of the most promising places to buy property with attractive rental yields, a great location and excellent connectivity.

Being in a location diverse in commercial offerings provides a wide-range of amenities and accessible conveniences at its doorstep, such as public transportation, educational institutions, shopping malls, medical centres and a wide array and diverse range of popular cuisine. This marks MORI as a desirable property for families young and old, individuals, local and foreign investors.  

MORI will be developed by Roxy-Pacific Holdings Limited, a reputable property and hospitality group founded in 1967, most known for their development of small-to-mid sized apartments and condominiums, targeting the middle-to-upper class markets. This would make them an expert in experience for a development like MORI. The group is unafraid to shake up old dynamics and old methods to transform property landscapes into more viable and fulfilling ones in the long run. Amongst many of their previous projects, RV Altitude, View at Kismis and 120 Grange stand out.

MORI is set to launch in October 2021 and the TOP is anticipated for December 2026.

WHAT MAKES MORI AN IDEAL HOME?

MORI is situated within the Rest of the Central Region (RCR), being a short drive to the Central Business District, East Coast Park, Singapore Sports Hub and Changi International Airport. Its proximity to the city centre on the eastern fringe of the city core has no doubt been a key contributor to the area’s popularity. It is a mere 15 minutes away from the Central Business District and in an area where newly launched freehold residential properties are scarce, making MORI a rare gem.

MORI makes an ideal permanent home or investment due to its amazing connectivity to a never-ending list of amenities and conveniences. With a renowned primary school just up the road amongst many other educational institutions, shopping centres for convenience and entertainment, medical centres for medical needs and attention, banks and many more - but one to exclaim is the diverse offering of cuisines in the vicinity.

With major commercial redevelopment plans being made for Paya Lebar Central and the transformation of Geylang Serai Market into a cultural hub, homeowners will find great upside potential in this new business centre on the fringes of the Central Business District.


MORI IS ENVELOPED BY TERRIFIC CONNECTIVITY AND ACCESSIBILITY

Transportation throughout the district makes it highly accessible, with MORI right in the middle of Aljunied MRT on the East-West Line, Dakota MRT and Mountbatten MRT on the Circle Line; all just a few minutes’ walk away. Paya Lebar MRT, which connects the two, is also close by as well as a bus terminal in Kallang. The East-West Line connects the area to the Central Business District in under 15 minutes.

Guillemard Road, where MORI sits on, is itself a major road and it connects with Nicoll Highway at the intersection of Mountbatten Road and Sims Way in the west,  and with Paya Lebar Road at the intersection with Geylang Roadin the east. It only takes 17 mins from here to Orchard Road via CTE and 21 mins via Nicoll Highway.

MORI IS A FREEHOLD PROPERTY

Freehold development projects have plenty of advantages for both own-stay buyers and investors, making them incredibly sought-after assets.

Freehold Properties are Valuable

In recent years, the government has reduced the number of sales of freehold land, which means freehold properties, like MORI, will become more rare in the future. Besides that, MORI is very close to a couple of MRT stations, which is highly uncommon among all apartments and condominiums in Singapore.

In terms of the public’s perception, freehold properties are often desirable because buyers can own them for an indefinite amount of time. This leads the public to see them as a means of wealth preservation. Even if the government collects the property for redevelopment, they will still be compensated at market price, making them a safe investment.

The Urban Redevelopment Authority proposed to re-zone certain areas within Geylang to reduce the residential area, thus making freehold residential properties like MORI scarce and a gem for the taking.

Freehold Properties have more Privacy

Freehold land parcels are usually smaller in size compared to leasehold developments. Due to this, freehold projects tend to have fewer units, as can be seen with MORI 137 residential units. This allows for more privacy and exclusivity in comparison to leasehold projects.

MORI IS DEVELOPED BY ROXY-PACIFIC



A reputable property and hospitality group founded in Singapore in 1967, Roxy-Pacific Holdings Limited (“Roxy-Pacific”) focuses predominantly on the residential and commercial property market, which is further backed by their development and management of several international hotels and resorts including Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy, Noku Maldives, Noku Kyotol, Noku Osaka, and various high-end boutique hotels.

Roxy-Pacific is most known for their development of small-to-mid sized apartments and condominiums, usually targeted towards the middle-to-upper class markets. In the last couple decades, they have managed to launch more than 50 developments comprising over 5,000 residential and commercial units spread across Singapore, Malaysia and Australia.

Fervently committed to sustainability both in their offices and in the projects they develop, Roxy-Pacific believes in cultivating a nurturing and inclusive environment at work and is unafraid to shake up old dynamics and old methods in order to transform the property landscape into one that is more viable and fulfilling in the long run.

With plans to further expand their presence in the international sphere, Roxy-Pacific has begun work on future plans for an industrial development in Australia and a commercial one in Indonesia. Some notable past projects of theirs include Eon Shenton, The Navian, Sunnyvale Residences, St Patrick’s Loft, Jade Residences, and Harbour View Gardens in Singapore, as well as West End Residences, The Hensley and Octavia Killara in Sydney, Australia.
