We have managed to get our grubby hands on details and some floorplans of The Interlace in District 4 which to no surprise will launch in phases due to the large amount of units. Please keep in mind all these early details are subject to change and might be inaccurate, so take this info with a pinch of salt.

Although we do not know the exact breakdown on how many of each unit types there are, we noted that unit sizes buck the current trend of “Mickey Mouse” units. For example, 2 bedroom units are a good size of between 807 and 1346sf.

The Interlace: Site Layout and Photos

jessica — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:49:25 +0000

As posted in www.h88.com.sg on 7 Sep 2009 by John

We’ve trawled online and found some hi-res pics of CapitaLand’s The Interlace. Looks pretty awesome we must say, though it seems to be one really complex condo – good luck to the future brochure designer!

We’ve managed to find a site layout as well. Guess what facilities we see?

Located on the site of the old Gillman Heights Condo, top floors might potentially get a view of the Pasir Panjang container port. (And no, we don’t think there’s any connection between this design and the aforementioned containers… or is there?)

BIG BIG DISCLAIMER: These are obviously architecture renders and definitely NOT the finalized design, so take this with a pinch of salt. Nevertheless it’s good fun to speculate.

Site Layout

No indication of where north is but it’s safe to assume that top = north, bottom = south.

Hmmm…do you see a 50m lap pool? We also spy with our little eyes 3 distinct tennis courts, 1 FULL length basketball court. We also spot a long snaking jogging track. Looks like there are plenty of roof gardens as well as possible “spa villas” dotted all over the site too. We don’t see any parking lots here, so that means underground parking for the residents. So you see, a picture is definitely worth a thousand words!

More images below:

Potential container sea view

A possible view from Alexandra Road

Do you see what looks like a waterfall feature at the bottom? If it is it looks to really big! Hope it’s good fengshui for all.

We see a kids pool right behind the main pool.

The Interlace: Block location and map overlay

jessica — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:36:53 +0000

As posted in h88.com.sg on 15 Sep 2009

We’ve got more details just in. The Interlace is one complex condo. Took us some time to figure it out but we’ve got it done eventually. We’ve got all the 23 blocks labelled for you, including those that are released for sale, and we’ve broken down the individual tiers with a ‘cool’ animation. Come in and see!

Map Overlay

Image: Google Maps. Note: This is an estimation only. Not to scale.

What cannot be seen here is that the project is sitting on elevated land. And note that from the west to the south-east your view is completely unblocked. One will get the green views of Portsdown area, the Hortpark, Gillman Village and Telok Blangah Hill Park. To the east some flatted factories will be in your way. North-views are not too good with the AYE, an small industrial park and AIA Alexandra building in your way.

It looks to be quite some distance from the coast though, so perhaps only the top few floors might get a sea view. Maybe someone who lived at the old Gillman Heights can enlighten us?

URA Masterplan
A check with the URA Masterplan 2008 shows that directly to the south, the land there is slated for residential use, but at the moment, still “subject to detailed planning”, so you don’t have to worry for now.

Blocks and Facilities
The block layouts confused us for a while. We always thought there were to be 31 blocks because the project is made up of 31 long block segments. Apparently not. There are a total of 23 blocks, so where did the rest go? Well, think of each lift shaft as a block, as the lift shaft goes through various stacked block segments, we have 23 lift shafts, hence 23 blocks. As a result, each segment gets two lift shafts or blocks.

Here’s the map of the blocks and the facilities:

Segment by segment
We’ve also broken up each block segment into tiers, so you can see how the units are stacked.

So that’s a total of 23 lift lobbies and 31 block segments
