Far East Organization, Frasers Centrepoint Limited and Sekisui House, Ltd. have announced plans to launch eCO, an innovative and ecologically-designed residential development situated along Bedok South Avenue 3,400 metres from the Tanah Merah MRT Station. With a strong registration-of-interest, the 748-unit integrated development is the first private residential development project at the Bedok South area to be launched in the past 30 years.
Based on the theme "In harmony with nature", eCO will integrate native flora and fauna from the surrounding landscape with the five residential lifestyles offered in the gated community – SOHO, Suite, Loft, Condominium and Townhouse. Nestled within the mature estate of Bedok, the development is well connected to major arterial roads and expressways such as the ECP and PIE, as well as the Tanah Merah Interchange Station.
"Ecology is about the intricate and self-sustaining relationships between organisms and their environments, and this concept is the inspiration for our latest development eCO. Our vision for eCO is to create an intelligent and sustainable development that contributes to the fabric of the community and its environment," said Chia Boon Kuah, chief operating officer of Property Sales and executive director, Far East Organization. "It will be quality real estate that brings value to buyers, not only in monetary terms but also in the way it promotes community interaction and nurtures the environment. Employing best practices in design and the natural sciences, eCO has been carefully planned to work with the site's natural terrain and surroundings. By preserving the mature rain trees and adding even more greenery to the site, eCO will play a vital part in the local ecology by supporting native flora and fauna, while at the same time draw on nature for the enjoyment of its inhabitants."
In line with the project's ecological theme, residents will be able to enjoy and benefit from a rain garden designed to collect, filter and store rain water to be reused in wter features and irrigation; a comminuty plot allowing residents to grow their own vegetables, fruits and herbs; and a balcony for every unit t enjoy the green surroundings.
With a population of 295,000 Bedok is one of Singapore's most dense planning regions, according to a 2011 report from the Department of Statistics. By 2015, Bedok Town Centre will be revitalised into a vibrant hub with the new town plaza, heritage park, hawker centre, and multi-storey car park. Sports enthusiasts can also look forward to the integrated Community and Sports Complex located within the town centre. When completed, the town centre will also have a fully air-conditioned Bedok Bus Interchange with a direct link to the Bedok MRT Station
