With 170 residential units spread across four low-rise residential blocks and three exclusive two-storey townhouses, The Verandah Residences capitalises on District 5’s evergreen appeal. The freehold condominium project, which sits on the former site of Redwood West, is also a testament to how firms such as Oxley Holdings are still offering thoughtfully developed properties in prime locations.
Situated off peaceful Pasir Panjang Road, each block at The Verandah Residences embraces the elegant architecture of the surrounding enclave, combining the colonial history of nearby shophouses with contemporary references to its newer neighbours. Unit sizes range from one-bedroom residences, which provide 463 square feet of living space, to the four-bedroom townhouses, which provide up to 2,174 square feet of living space.

Colonial hints come in the form of the tasteful black-and-white facades and the eponymous verandahs, courtesy of renowned firm DP Architects. Moreover, the gently overhanging roofs and Juliet balconies are both stylish and functional, encouraging natural ventilation through the open interiors, while sheltering the verandahs from rain and direct sun rays. The common facilities also take on the colonial theme – from the tiles in the swimming pool to the standalone barbecue and dining pavilion, which makes use of traditional-style white screens.
“The Verandah Residences by Oxley Holdings Ltd deconstructs the classic architecture of colonial black-and-white bungalows and reinterprets this into a modern apartment defined by spacious balconies, Juliet balconies, and seamless connectivity with the outdoors; nostalgically echoing the history of Pasir Panjang,” the judges of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Singapore) noted.
The interiors further develop the colonial premise, fusing traditional British style with tropical sensibilities. Whitewashed walls are complemented by black fittings and neutral grey hues throughout, timber is incorporated into the kitchen, and traditional patterned tiles provide the bathrooms with a nostalgic uniqueness. Capturing the essence of heritage gardens, native trees and large accent plants dot the landscape while secluded spaces and sunken planters provide peaceful outdoor retreats for residents.
