This article provides a tour of the facility floor at R&F Princess Cove Phase Two, focusing on the amenities and the overall experience.
Viewing Deck and Sea View
The facility floor, located on level eight, offers stunning views. The viewing deck provides a clear, unobstructed view of Singapore across the sea. This view is permanent because there are no future buildings planned in front of Phase Two. Residents can enjoy this Southeast (SE) view from many units, which is a key selling point, although these units typically come with a premium price.
Causeway and RTS Link
From the facility floor, you can also observe the Causeway, which often experiences traffic congestion. The proximity to the Causeway is a major advantage of R&F Princess Cove, as it is the nearest project to Singapore. In addition, the Rapid Transit System (RTS) is visible, which is a single-stop MRT line connecting Bukit Chagar CIQ directly to Singapore Woodlands North Station. The RTS is approximately 80% complete and is expected to be operational by 2026.
Comfortable Environment
The location by the straits allows for constant sea breezes, creating a comfortable environment on the facility floor.
Swimming Pool and Landscaping
The phase two swimming pool is a highlight, featuring both shallow sections for lounging and deeper areas for swimming. Many units overlook the pool and the sea. Lazy chairs and shower areas are conveniently located nearby. The landscaping throughout Phase Two is well-designed and maintained, demonstrating the effort put into creating a beautiful environment.
Covered Walkway and Jogging Track
A covered walkway provides easy access to other facilities, especially useful during rainy weather. This is an improvement over Phase One. The walkway is equipped with CCTV for added security. A red jogging track encircles the entire facility floor, providing residents with a dedicated space for exercise.
