In April, Swire Properties unveiled its first ultra-luxury residential project in Singapore. EDEN is an exclusive apartment building inspired by Singapore’s vision as a ‘city in a garden’ and designed by Thomas Heatherwick of Heatherwick Studio. With its iconic hanging balconies and abundant tropical greenery, the property is designed to reconnect its residents with nature. Located in the prestigious District 10 Orchard Road neighbourhood, EDEN offers just 20 apartments, each occupying an entire floor, with a saleable area of over 3,000 square feet. Scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2019, the project’s environmentally friendly features have also earned EDEN a “Green Mark Platinum’’ rating from Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority.
Meanwhile, in July, Swire Properties and Jakarta Setiabudi Internasional Group announced a partnership to develop a luxury residential property in Jakarta. The joint venture company, PT Jantra Swarna Dipta (“JSD”), will bring together Swire Properties’ expertise in designing and developing residential properties and Jakarta Setiabudi Internasional Group’s rich real estate experience in Indonesia. JSD’s debut high-rise apartment building will be located in the upscale neighbourhood of Dharmawangsa in South Jakarta. The development will include a host of bespoke amenities set within a three-hectare urban parkland. This is Swire Properties’ first project in Indonesia.
