The Arcady showflat is located along Kitchener Link, Singapore, within the Boon Keng and Farrer Park area. It is positioned near the actual development site, allowing buyers to experience the surrounding neighbourhood. This provides a clearer understanding of the project’s context. It is more useful than visiting an off-site showflat.
2. Is the showflat located near the actual development site?
