Kovan Jewel: Pods set up in void decks to cater to requests for conducive work, study spaces

Kovan Jewel – Housing estates and community spaces throughout Singapore will see more work-study pods for residents to use, if ongoing pilots in several neighbourhoods show a strong uptake. These pods, which are portable enclosed cubicles that can seat one to two, can provide a conducive and more private environment for residents to work near their homes, said Minister for National Development Desmond Lee on Sunday. This, as hybrid and work-from-home arrangements initially brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic become established practices.

Although existing study areas in void decks continue to be well-used, Mr Lee said: “(Needs) evolve and change for students as well as working adults for more privacy, especially when they make more confidential calls or business calls. “So these are different offerings for different needs, and we want to provide them flexibility and diversity to enable people to find the facility... that best suits them.” He was speaking to reporters at the official launch of nine such pods in the Boon Lay ward of West Coast GRC, where he is MP.

Kovan Jewel is a freehold development comprises of 34 residential units & 1 shop. Kovan Jewel boasts of numerous amenities that are within a short 5-10 minutes stroll away, such as Kovan MRT Station, Kovan market place, Supermarkets (NTUC Fairprice, Sheng Siong, Cold Storage) & Heartland Shopping Mall.Kovan Jewel has a full range of facilities with lap pool, children’s splash pool, jacuzzi, gym, function room & bbq pit.

The pilot – a collaboration among the Housing Board, People’s Association and pod provider Burztech – is the first involving pods installed at void decks. Pods in ongoing pilots in Clementi, Bukit Timah and Keat Hong that were launched last November and December are in common areas of community centres, or within Residents’ Committee centres. Mr Lee also said that housing has to reflect the broader set of needs and aspirations that Singaporeans young and old now have, indicated by trends such as the rise of co-living spaces by private operators that appeal to youths here.

Kovan Jewel located at 51A Kovan Road then JANSEN Mansions is located at 25 Jansen Road, the 12-unit development sits on approximately 16,592.7 square feet (sq ft) of land with a parcel ratio of 1.4 and a gross floor area (GFA) of approximately 23,229.8 square set. It is planned for residential use, with a lease term of 999 years beginning September 1, 1876.

Kovan Jewel is strategically located within the 1km radius of the highly sought-after schools like Paya Lebar Methodist Girls & Rosyth School (2km). Investments on properties that are located within the radius of renowned primary schools potentially yield higher capital appreciation well above the national average in the long run. Data trends show that the average psf of condominiums within the zones have appreciated by a sizable 77.74% over a 10-year period from 2008 to 2018, while the average psf of condominiums across Singapore within the same time period has only increased by a modest 54.39%.
