Located within the tranquil landed housing estate of Kovan, The Florence Residences is a 99-year leasehold project by property developer Logan Property (Singapore) Company Pte. Limited. Sited along Florence Road and Hougang Avenue 2, the large-scale development will consist of 1,410 units across a significant land area of 36,161 square metres (sq m), making it one of the largest new launch condos in District 19 right now.
Facilities
With a sprawling land area, the developer has the liberty to include 128 facilities and 12 clubs, providing a variety of recreational spaces that aim to facilitate socialisation and a community spirit. Residents can expect a massive 80-metre swimming pool (Island Lap Pool) and numerous smaller aquatic areas for play and relaxation, from water slides to hydrotherapy pools.
According to the developer, the extensive collection of facilities at The Florence Residences is inspired by the concept of club-condo living, with seldom-seen features such as an amphitheatre for outdoor movie screenings, a sparring ring pavilion with punching bag for mixed martial arts and boxing enthusiasts, and a pool table and dart board pavilion.
There’s also a two-storey clubhouse with high ceilings that houses a dining suite, multipurpose suite, gym, jamming studio and a theatrette with karaoke.
Surrounding Amenities
The Florence Residences is sited in a mature part of District 19, with ample amenities surrounding the development. Kovan MRT Station on the North-East MRT line is accessible via an eight-minute walk through the landed housing estate, whereas Hougang MRT station is also easily accessible.
Around Kovan MRT station, residents will find a convenient cluster of amenities that includes the sprawling Kovan Market & Food Centre, as well as a supermarket, retail shops, eateries and enrichment centres within Heartland Mall, a compact neighbourhood mall, and surrounding HDB blocks. Kovan Sports Centre is also a hub for avid football players, with its numerous all-weather futsal courts.
