Your dedicated fitness park Break your fitness routine at our urban outdoor gymnasium - now open on the lawn in front of South Ridge. With an elliptical, parallel handrail, runner, foot-press, straight bench, twister, upper lift, rower, and bike, it’s got all you need to work up a good sweat. It’s just what the doctor ordered with an extra dose of fresh air and vitamin D.
Electric vehicle charging stations Great news for EV owners in Boulevard Crescent and Claren communities! You can now top up for free at two charging stations that are exclusive to residents. Find them by its signature green flooring at the visitor parking on the podium level in Boulevard Crescent and on the ground floor in Claren. Coming soon to Boulevard Heights, Old Town Residences and Standpoint too!
Lobby spruce up Something exciting is headed to The Residences. We’re giving your lobby some love with new furniture, paint, lights and art to make it the showstopper it deserves to be. Watch this space for a facelift like no other.
rule refresher
Here’s a section for your home, pets, and property to ensure a peaceful, safe and clean community.
SUMMERTIME & PETS
KEEP IT CLEAN
• Please do not allow pets to relieve themselves on bollards or poles. • Pets with white-colored ears and short-nosed pets are prone to summer-related health risks. Limit exercise time outdoors. • Please pick up after your pets. • While travelling, ensure that pets are safely relocated to avoid distress.
• Please use waste bags that fit the chute door and ensure there is no spillage. • Bulky/large items, liquid, or hazardous waste are not to be disposed of through the chute. • Items left in the common areas or corridors are a fire hazard and hindrance. Keep your community clutter-free for a safe exit during an emergency.
RESPECT OTHERS
BALCONY ETIQUETTE
• Photography at the pool encroaches upon others’ privacy. Tuck those cameras away. • Loud parties or noisy work are not allowed after 10 pm. Be considerate.
• Avoid storing items on the balcony. External structures are not permitted. • Plants can be placed on balconies. Be mindful of the community aesthetics.
PARKING ETIQUETTE • Keep your parking bay free of stored items. • Do not misuse the visitor parking bays.
COMMUNITY AMENITIES • Please do not bring children under 16 along to the community gym. • Amenities are designated to different age groups keeping in mind safety and wellbeing of all residents.
vacay hacks for a secure home Secure all entryways, including the windows and balcony. Unplug electrical items to avoid fire risks. Leave your home clean and tidy to avoid pest infestation. Check for any gas leaks before you lock up. Make sure your pest control is up to date. Don't neglect your plumbing - turn off the main water valves for faucets, sink and toilets to avoid water leaks. Leave your contact details with a trusted friend in case of an emergency.
