Its attraction goes beyond its size and number of units. Besides being located just adjacent to the popular Tampines Round Market & Food Centre, this 99-year leasehold mega-development is also a walking distance of Tampines Regional Centre and is served by three MRT stations—Tampines, Tampines West and Simei.
Because of its attractive land price—it was sold for $970 million to developer Sim Lian at $676 psf per plot ratio—potential buyers can expect the prices to be relatively affordable for Treasure. The expected TOP date is December 2022.
Surroundings
Overlooking the future site of Treasure at Tampines, which was the former location for ex-HUDC Tampines Court.
The area is part of a mature estate in Tampines and is relatively quiet and laidback even during peak hours on a weekday evening. Surrounded mainly by low-rise structures and residential flats, most of which are only 11 or 12 storeys high, Treasure at Tampines will likely have units that are unblocked.
Tampines Street 11, the road right in front of Treasure at Tampines, doesn’t see much traffic even during peak hours.
Traffic along Tampines Street 11 is very light, with very few vehicles passing through. Units facing the expressways—the south of the site—might have to contend with higher traffic noise, however. Thankfully though, the southern area is very much buffered by verdant green so there’s at least some noise alleviation.
