The Siena Condo Review
The creative design, flexible spaces with a strategic location makes it an ideal condo as compared to other condos in Singapore. SOHO presents an integrated living concept where living, working and leisure combines in a single structure standing at Farrer Road. The wide range of amenities, well designed infrastructure, advance health care facilities, first class international and local schools and the facilities of safe and sound public transportation makes the condo more demanding for expatriate. This product of SOHO shifted the trend and market a complete lifestyle in this condo rather than a single residential unit. The space planning concept and the unique layout urge the architecture to speak for itself. The design reflexes that contemporary trends and the creative ideas embedded together to allow the spirit to grow, simply defines this condo.
Although the size of the apartments may seem small but with the rising costs of land it is a compromise everyone has to make older condos built during the times when land was cheap are obviously spacious, but the semi white plan and smart planning of our condos allow the buyers to live in a very comfortable and spacious environment. Smart designing has also enabled it to be very good functionality wise and has made it look bigger and more spacious.
It is located in the residential area of Bukit Timah surrounded with the wide range of amenities, from international/local preschools to diverse shopping areas and restaurants, the condo also embraces the lush green landscape of Singapore. Some of the best local schools like Raffles Girls Primary School, Methodist Girls School, Nanyang Girls High School and Hwa Chong Junior College are located in the neighborhood residential area of Bukit Timah. Moreover, the Downtown MRT line and Circle MRT line also passes through the area and connects the residents to the Central Business District and Marina Bay area within minutes. This station named as the Botanic Gardens MRT station is at 8 minute walking distance from the condo.
The proximity to the Singapore Botanic Gardens with exotic greenery offered a great respite to the residents of the condo. This garden is now under the UNESCO site which ultimately gave several benefits to its immediate neighborhood. Residents can have a leisure walk along the green belt or may enjoy a hike at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. An array of amenities like grocery, retail shopping, eateries and banks lies on the Orchard shopping belt minutes away from the condo.
It is the time for a great investment in terms of property, as it is affordable to an extent, but with time the prices will ultimately reach the apex. This condo is grasping the attention of expatriates, they purchase the apartments, rent them out and uplift their business to increase the annual profit. The beautifully treated façade of the building, the modern interior and the comfortable environment also attracts the foreigners. The apartments of this condo are perfect for young families who aspire for a contemporary and an upgraded lifestyle.

Reason Why You Shouldn't Miss The Siena
1. Botanic Gardens MRT Station - It is within minutes of walking to the Botanic Gardens MRT Station which is on the Circle and Downtown Line in Singapore. Circle Line (CCL) is Singapore's 4th MRT line. Circle Line is fully underground and is 35.5km long with 30 stations(excluding Bukit Brown) and is currently in full operations. Along Circle Line, there are a number of vital MRT Stations that is next to the financial, higher education and office districts. Which means that many residents who live at the Siena can take the MRT trains direct to their work place without changing lines. The prominent MRT Stations include Dhoby Ghaut, Esplanade, Promenade, Buona Vista(Bio-polis, Science Park), one-north, Kent Ridge, Labrador Park, Harbourfront, Keppel, Cantonment, Prince Edward and Marina Bay(Marina Bay Financial District). Additionally, Botanic Garden MRT Station also sits on the Downtown Line, which connects one to the north-western and central Eastern regions of Singapore as well as as the name implies, the downtown areas of Singapore. In another word, having Botanic Gardens MRT station at its doorstep gives one direct, easy and fast access to many parts of Singapore.
2. Proximity to good schools in Singapore ensure a good resale value as Singaporeans put education of their children in high priority so getting into close proximity to good schools for the purpose of gaining entry into the school or for shorter commute to the schools are key to many parents. If you are a property investor, do note there are sometimes local or foreign parents who will rent schools with close access to schools for their children. And when you need to sell the Siena one day, there will also be local or foreign parents who may buy it for their kids' schooling needs.
3. The pricing of The Siena is modest. From only $1.022m for a one bed room unit or only about $1,899 psf, this property is not only low quantum but also low in price per square feet. Easy on loans and cash outlay. And since it is low on quantum, it is also easy to achieve a higher yield as well.
