Hamilton Scotts offers a garage in the sky

Source : Business Times - 9 Jul 2008

IF you are the sort who cannot bear to take your eyes off your beloved car when you are ensconced in your home, then make an appointment to view the apartment units at Hamilton Scotts.

Located at 37 Scotts Road, the 30-storey luxury development by developer Hayden Properties is the first in Asia to feature car parking within the apartment units, with the car parking area separated from the living space by double glazing.

Drivers stop their vehicles at a designated point in the basement, exit and undergo a biometric scan, whereupon elevators take the car up to the correct unit in an automated, driverless process.

The project is now open for preview by appointment only. It is understood the units will be priced at about $3,800 per square foot (psf).

The condominium consists of 56 units, including 52 three-bedroom units of 2,700 sq ft and two 3,200 sq ft junior penthouse units. Each of these has parking space for two cars.

The remaining two units are 7,100 sq ft triplex penthouses with interior customised to buyer specifications, serviced by an internal lift and come with a rooftop garden and swimming pool. They can accommodate four cars each.

Hamilton Scotts is slated for completion by 2011.

If living with your car is not your cup of tea, perhaps you might want to visit another luxury residential project: Signature at Lewis. It will be officially launched this Saturday by developer Hiap Hoe Group with a starting selling price of $1,670 psf.

Located at 1 Lewis Road, the 12-storey development comprises 10 studio units (635 sq ft each), 10 two-bedroom units (980 sq ft) and 10 four-bedroom units (1,841 sq ft), as well as two penthouses, with private pool and roof deck, occupying over 3,000 sq ft each.

So far, three units have been booked for an undisclosed price.
