Sentosa Cove 升涛湾

Sentosa Cove

is an integrated residential-cum-marina resort development on the eastern coast of Sentosa island, to the south of mainland Singapore. It is largely a residential estate, featuring Singapore’s first and only gated residential community. When fully developed by 2014, it will have about 2,100 homes, which will range from high-rise condominiums to luxury bungalows with adjoining private berths for boats. The development also offers an exclusive marina club with berthing facilities for mega-yachts as well as a hotel and retail outlets in a centralised commercial precinct. The master developer is Sentosa Cove Pte Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC), a statutory board.

Sentosa Cove

covers an area of 117ha made up mostly of reclaimed land, including five artificial islands called Coral Island, Paradise Island, Treasure Island, Sandy Island and Pearl Island. Most of the land is designated for residential accommodation, with the five islands reserved for bungalows. The residential developments are clustered in two main areas, the northern precinct and the southern precinct. When fully developed by 2014, Sentosa Cove will have an estimated 2,100 homes, made up of condominium units (which will form the bulk of the homes), terrace houses and bungalows.

As of April 2009, about 1,700 people were already living in Sentosa Cove. This number is expected to grow to about 10,000 by 2014 and it is believed that more than half of these residents will be foreigners. While foreigners do not face any restrictions in buying the condominiums here, they have to obtain government approval for purchases of terrace houses and bungalows just as in other parts of Singapore. However to make it easier for foreigners to buy landed homes in Sentosa Cove, the government had cut the time taken for their applications to be approved, reflecting the strategic value that it placed on the project. The processing time for applications by foreigners to buy landed properties in Singapore usually takes several weeks, but this has been shortened to just two days for purchases in Sentosa Cove.

In addition to the residential estates, there is also an exclusive marina club in Sentosa Cove called One°15 that is already in operation. The marina at One°15 has 270 wet berths including 13 for mega-yachts, making it the first in Singapore and one of the few in the world that can accommodate such large vessels, which are at least 85ft long.

Complementing the residential and marina developments are a 320-room five-star hotel and a three-storey commercial complex offering a wide range of shops, food and beverage outlets and other amenities. One°15, the proposed hotel and the upcoming commercial complex are located in the central marina precinct, which lies between the northern and southern residential precincts.

Sentosa Cove is divided into two main areas, the North Cove, and the South Cove. Each cove comprises both bungalow and condominium residential plots, with most units configured to either face the artificially-created sheltered waterways, or the open sea. Straddling between the two is a planned commercial area, known as the Marina Village, which includes a hotel and a marina.

The North Cove has three artificial islands called Coral Island, Paradise Island and Treasure Island, all of which are surrounded by an artificial marina enclosed by an outer ring of reclaimed land. Collectively, the North Cove will have 1,528 residential units comprising of 214 bungalows, 30 terraced houses, and 1,284 condominium units.

There are six condominium sites, of which four were successful sold to private developers. The Azure by Centrepoint Homes, and The Oceanfront @ Sentosa Cove by City Developments Limited each held very successful sales campaigns, with units being booked very rapidly even before their respective launches in 2006. Two other plots, known as the Berth by the Cove (awarded to Ho Bee Group) and the Baywater Collection of three condominium parcels, were expected to be launched soon. There are also two significant sites for landed housing, namely the Hillside Collection, and the Lakefront Collection.

Bungalow plots in the South Cove were launched only in the second half of 2006 after the successful sale of most plots in the North Cove, with an eventual total of 156 units. Another 816 condominium units in four sites are also to be sold, for a total of 972 homes in the South Cove. Demand for these homes is expected to be higher than in the north due to the better sea views offered. With a geographic configuration similar to the north, it also has a sheltered waterway with two artificial islands (Pearl Island and Sandy Island).

圣淘沙升涛湾

圣淘沙升涛湾

是一个综合了住宅和游艇码头的度假胜地，位于圣淘沙岛东部海岸，新加坡南部。它主要是住宅地产，具有新加坡第一个也是唯一的门控住宅小区。在2014年全面竣工时，这里将有大约2,100家住宅，将包括高层公寓与附带私人游艇泊位的豪华别墅。新开发地还提供了一个拥有大型游艇停泊设施的独家游艇俱乐部，以及在中心商业区的一个酒店和零售网点。这里的主开发商是圣淘沙升涛湾私人有限公司，是圣淘沙发展公司（议会）法定的的全资子公司。

圣淘沙升涛湾占地面积117公顷面积，主要由填海土地建成，其中包括5个人工海岛，分别为珊瑚岛，天堂岛，金银岛，桑迪岛和珍珠岛。大部分土地指定作住宅，而这5个岛屿专门保留来建造独立别墅。住宅的开发聚集在两个主要地域，北方区和南方区。当2014年全面建成时，圣淘沙升涛湾将有大约2,100家住宅，由公寓单位（这将成为主要的家庭住宅），连栋别墅和独立别墅组成。

截至2009年4月，约有1700人已在圣淘沙升涛湾的生活。这个数字预计会在2014年涨到约10,000，并且这些居民超过一半是外国人。虽然外国人在这里购买公寓不会面临任何限制，但他们必须得到政府批准，才能在这里买连栋或独立式别墅，就像在新加坡其他地方购买一样。然而，为方便外国人来升涛湾买有地房产，政府已经削减了他们申请获批所需的时间，反映了政府在该项目上所采取的具战略意义的价值标准。对外国人在新加坡的购房申请处理时间通常需要几个星期，但在升涛湾的购房申请处理时间已缩短到两天。

除了住宅屋苑，在升涛湾，还有一个已经开始运作的独家游艇俱乐部，叫One° 15。该俱乐部的码头有 270个停泊位，包括13个大型游艇码头泊位，使其成为新加坡首个及世界少数几个能容纳至少85英尺长的如此庞大游艇的码头。

除了住宅和码头开发，还会有一个320间客房的五星级酒店和3层商业大楼，能提供五花八门的商店，餐饮场所和其他设施。One°15，提议建造的酒店和即将推出的商业大楼都位于中央游艇码头区，在北部和南部住宅专用区之间。

圣淘沙升涛湾分为两个主要领域，北湾和南湾。每个湾都包含有别墅和公寓住宅单位，大部分要么面对人工庇护水道，要么面对公海。跨越两者之间的是一片商业规划领域，叫滨海村，其中包括著名的酒店和一个码头。

北湾有3个人工岛屿，称为珊瑚岛，天堂岛，金银岛。所有这些岛都是由一个人工填土建造的海港包围。总的来说，北湾将有1,528个住宅单位，包括214座独立别墅，30座连栋别墅，和1284个公寓单位。

公寓用地有6块，其中4块已成功出售给私人发展商。坊院天青，以及城市发展有限公司的海滨@升涛湾各单位都举行了非常成功的促销活动，甚至在2006年它们各自开发动土之前单位就很快被预定了。另外两个地块，被称为泊位海湾（授予给何美集团）和海纳百川（有3个公寓区），预计也将很快推出。有地房产也有两处重要地段，即秀山小区和湖滨小区。

南湾别墅小区的推出是在2006年下半年北湾销售成功之后，最终共有156个单位。另外4个小区的814套公寓单位也将出售，一共会有972家住宅在南湾。南湾的住宅需求预计会北湾更高，应为这里有更好的海景。同时地理配置效仿北方，这里也有一条庇护水道和2个人工岛。
