This venture proceeds with the custom of the model Singapore shophouse, with its business shops at ground floor, and living spaces over that. The ground level is slowed down from the street, with an overhanging verandah along the front upheld by sections, that makes the particular five-footway plan.
The 7 protection shophouses at 1953 @ Tessensohn embodies the Art Deco compositional style. These have been combined so cunningly into the 1953 blended turn of events, that the new part proceeds flawlessly from the old. It does as such by getting on and exemplifying the Art Deco themes of the shophouses, for example, smoothed out plan, and solid even and vertical lines.

Oxley Amethyst bought the land for the 1953 Tessensohn improvement in two sections. It paid SGD$14.5 million for the piece of empty freehold land at 3 Tessensohn Road, from a private proprietor in November 2017.
This plot is drafted private with business from the outset floor, and ranges a territory of 462 square meters. At that point in December 2017, Oxley Amethyst bought the bunch of shophouses at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 7A, 9A and 11 Balestier Road for SGD$38 million. These aggregately range an absolute territory of 1,118.4 square meters of freehold land.

The area is described by columns of shophouses, but at the same time is home to a blend of business structures and low-ascent lofts. Anyway there are maturing indications of improvement also, which is maybe unavoidable, given its vicinity to the Orchard Road territory. By rights, this ought to be prime land, and will probably turn out to be so after some time.
For what it's worth, it as of now appreciates solid rental interest. Which is maybe why at the forthcoming Uptown at Farrer, another long term leasehold blended advancement close by, the designer has kept the main part of the private units, 240 of them, to be adjusted condos. They will just sell the leftover 116 condos.
1953 is a freehold advancement situated along Tessensohn Road. It is presently a line of shophouses which will be preserved and an extra structure will be raised behind the current construction. In November 2017, Oxley Holdings, through its entirely possessed auxiliary Oxley Amethyst, purchased the freehold empty land along Tessensohn Road for SGD$14.5 million.
In this manner, in December 2017, through a similar auxiliary, Oxley Holdings bought a group of properties known as 1, 3, 5, 7, 7A, 9, 9A and 11 Balestier Road for SGD$38.0 million. Hence, Oxley Holdings gained the bordering portion of state land and amalgamated the two plots of land which they procured. These three acquisitions will make up the improvement 1953.
There will be 72 units altogether. There will be 58 private units and 14 retail units. The private units will comprise of 2 studio units (441 square feet), 4 one-room units (549 square feet), 28 one+study units (506 to 614 square feet), 4 two+study (614 to 786 square feet), 8 three-room units (786 to 1152 square feet), 2 three+study units (915 to 969 square feet), 1 four-room unit (1399 square feet), 1 two+family penthouse (1130 square feet), 1 three room penthouse (1120 square feet), 5 three+family penthouses (1227 to 1238 square feet), 1 five-room penthouse (1507 square feet) and 1 five+study penthouse (1658 square feet).
1953 is situated along Tessensohn Road. In the event that you are driving from Lavender Street, Tessensohn Road is the subsequent left turn once you drive onto Balestier Road. In the event that you are strolling towards Farrer Park MRT Station, as indicated by Google Maps and I utilized 1 Balestier Road as the beginning stage, the distance is 550 meters and it will require around 7 minutes.
The walk is generally shielded as you stroll along the column of shophouses along Serangoon Road. On the off chance that you are strolling from 1953 to Boon Keng MRT Station, the distance is 400 meters and it will take you around 5 minutes to arrive. The closest access to Boon Keng MRT Station, entrance C, is only slantingly inverse Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital.
Farrer Park MRT Station is found exactly at the city periphery. In the event that you are making a trip to Raffles Place MRT Station, it will take you 8 minutes and cost you $0.93. You should roll out an improvement at Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station.
The fundamental selling point would be the area. I do believe that the vicinity to Farrer Park MRT Station is fairly nice and by and large shielded. Likewise, the improvement is situated at maybe, as I would like to think, the ideal separation from Farrer Park MRT Station.
There is a great deal of rushing about around Farrer Park MRT Station and I would foresee some level of blockage in the event that you live around Farrer Park MRT Station. 1953 is by all accounts from the packed parts of this zone however yet at a fair strolling distance to the MRT station and City Square Mall. This zone is additionally covered with eating and shopping choices.
Lavender Street and Jalan Besar have numerous late night food alternatives and when you drive onto the primary street from Tessensohn Road, you are now on Balestier Road and in only a few of minutes, you will arrive at famous food frequents in Balestier. This advancement is likewise freehold. There is a solid discussion about whether there is a contrast between purchasing freehold or leasehold properties and there are numerous articles that have demonstrated that leasehold properties do perform similarly too and now and again better than freehold properties.
Nonetheless, I do accept that few out of every odd leasehold advancement will be redeveloped and rents will ultimately run out and land will be gotten back to the state. Consider the uber improvement that is Treasure at Tampines where there will be 2,203 units. I don't believe that when that advancement will be redeveloped during its 99-year residency.
Improvements like Mandarin Gardens and Braddel View have set record high requesting costs from SGD$2.79 billion and SGD$2.08 billion individually. I question that designers have the monetary muscle or craving to buy these advancements en coalition. Maybe later on when the market is more grounded and I do accept that and, after its all said and done, a consortium of a couple of huge and monetarily solid designers should step in to make the buy.
Quite possibly such improvements won't ever discover a purchaser all through their rent and at last the land will be gotten back to the state. Thusly, when the leftover rent gets perilously low, property holders will be compelled to sell at exceptionally low costs to recover some different option from to allow the rent to run down. I do accept that the discussion on freehold versus leasehold will be intensely bantered up to the moment that an enormous number of leasehold properties see their rent terms finishing.
The cost is somewhat respectable in the present apparently expanded property market. Try not to misunderstand me, I do feel that current property costs are on the high side. Nonetheless, I do believe that if I somehow happened to fork out in overabundance of $2,000 per square foot for a unit at a 99-year leasehold new dispatch like The Woodleigh Residences, I would prefer to consider an improvement like 1953 where freehold units can be found at sub-$1,900 per square foot costs.
Only for the record, I do imagine that The Woodleigh Residences is horribly overrated by an excessively idealistic engineer. Additionally, practically around the bend is City View @ Boon Keng. A bunch of HDB pads which were sold under the Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS).
A 5-room HDB level at this bunch sold for SGD$1.185 million toward the beginning of 2019. This to me doesn't bode well yet it shows you the condition of property costs in this region. I'm trying to say that on the off chance that you are on the lookout for another venture dispatch, this is maybe one of the advancements you ought to be taking a gander at in the event that you are taking a gander at a store improvement.
As the guide of rural advancement in the Central Region at District 8, 1953, new dispatch townhouse, stands ready at the edge of heap new turns of events. The freehold improvement from the impact in the past contains recreation and work offices, medical care and transport, as they throughout the fall inside simple access with accommodation along Tessensohn. Peruse in for additional subtleties on why 1953 at Farrer Park zone is an exceptionally sought after apartment suite.
Take have a great time the extravagant cluster of accommodations and conveniences so near your doorstep at 1953 condominium, having a MRT station simply a short leave, with a couple of moments' drives to the freeway, arriving at the core of the city and the remainder of Singapore in no time. One can't be requesting more. 1953 additionally contains a feasting zone where occupants can have in the open air eating for their families or friends and family.
Other than extravagant feasting, occupants can likewise make a beeline for Flora Sanctuary to appreciate the nature. 1953 condominium is a home that envelops all you require, associated with wherever you should be. The full advantages of a metropolitan focal way of life are at your doorstep.
1953 Tessensohn is likewise close to passageway or exit of Central Expressway (CTE) and Pan Island Expressway (PIE)..
