Artisan 8 at a Glance

Artisan 8 is a freehold boutique development at 8 Sin Ming Road, on the corner of Jalan Isnin a short walk from Upper Thomson Road. Its developer, Apex Asia (2) Pte. Ltd., is giving the former Sin Ming Centre a new life through additions and alterations to the existing four-storey building: 34 homes on the upper floors, eight shops, restaurants and a supermarket at street level, and parking in the basement.

Buyers who search for Artisan8, Artisan Eight or the Chinese name 福茗轩 are looking at the same address. Four things set it apart: freehold tenure, a small community of 34 homes served by two lobbies and two lifts, an attic storey of penthouses with double-volume living rooms in several layouts, and Upper Thomson MRT station about 260 metres away. The project details page has every particular.

For a home buyer, the mix works in two directions. The homes sit above daily conveniences that will open on the first storey, and the neighbourhood around them is one of Singapore’s best-known food streets, with MacRitchie Reservoir and Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park both within reach.

The Homes at Artisan 8

The 34 homes of Artisan 8 fill the second and third storeys and the attic storey above them, reached from two lobbies, A and B, served by two passenger lifts.

Most living rooms elsewhere are 2.8 metres high.
