The Infiniti
Overview & Key Facts
The Infiniti is a 315-unit freehold condominium tucked along West Coast Park in District 5, completed in 2008 by FCL Court Pte Ltd — a subsidiary of Frasers Centrepoint, one of Singapore’s largest and most diversified property groups. Designed by DCA Architects Pte Ltd, the development comprises eight low-rise blocks of up to 12 storeys, spread across a generous 22,966 sqm site that borders West Coast Park’s greenery. The name “Infiniti” nods to the expansive, unobstructed views that upper-floor units enjoy — a sweep of treetop canopy, parkland, and glimpses of the sea that few District 5 developments can match.
Frasers Centrepoint has a long track record in Singapore, with developments ranging from the mass-market Parc Greenwich to the premium Riviere along the Singapore River. The Infiniti sits in their mid-to-upper segment: unit sizes are generous by today’s standards (two-bedrooms from 904 sqft, three-bedrooms up to 1,561 sqft), full-height windows flood interiors with natural light, and the low-rise, low-density configuration — 315 units across 8 blocks on a site larger than many 1,000-unit mega-developments — creates a resort-like atmosphere that residents consistently praise. With a ratio of roughly one unit per 73 sqm of land, The Infiniti feels less like a condominium and more like a horizontal village set within a park.
At a current average of $1,689 PSF and a median transaction price of $1,700,000, The Infiniti is positioned as an accessible freehold entry point in a district increasingly dominated by new-launch 99-year projects priced well above $1,800 PSF. The development’s PSF has climbed steadily from approximately $1,322 to $1,732 over the past five years — a trajectory that reflects the market’s growing recognition of freehold tenure, generous sizing, and the lifestyle premium of living adjacent to one of Singapore’s best-loved coastal parks.
Location & Connectivity
West Coast Park is one of Singapore’s quieter residential pockets — a low-rise, leafy enclave sandwiched between the Ayer Rajah Expressway to the north and the coastline to the south. The Infiniti sits at 39A West Coast Park, directly adjacent to the 50-hectare West Coast Park itself, giving residents immediate access to cycling paths, playgrounds, a cable ski park, and McDonald’s by the sea — amenities that families find invaluable for weekend leisure without leaving the neighbourhood.
The honest transport picture requires candour. The nearest MRT station is Clementi (EW23), approximately 1.23 km away — a 15–17 minute walk that is feasible but not comfortable in Singapore’s heat. This places The Infiniti firmly outside the coveted “within 800 metres of MRT” threshold that many buyers prioritise. The upcoming Cross Island Line will introduce West Coast MRT (CR18), which is expected to improve connectivity meaningfully when operational, but that is still several years away. In the interim, residents rely on a shuttle bus service to Clementi MRT (roughly five minutes), regular public buses along West Coast Road, and the AYE for private transport. The expressway access is a double-edged sword: it provides quick connections to the CBD (15–20 minutes), one-north business park, and Jurong, but units facing the AYE corridor experience traffic noise that varies from tolerable to intrusive depending on floor level and orientation.
Daily amenities are well served within a short drive. Clementi Mall, anchored by FairPrice Xtra supermarket and a popular food court, is five minutes away by car. West Coast Plaza, a neighbourhood mall with eateries, a clinic, and convenience shops, is even closer. The National University of Singapore campus is a stone’s throw away, feeding a steady pool of rental demand from faculty, researchers, and graduate students. For dining variety, the West Coast Market Square hawker centre and numerous coffee shops along West Coast Road provide affordable local options.
The school catchment is a genuine strength. Qifa Primary School is just 440 metres away — comfortably within the 1 km priority enrolment radius. Nan Hua Primary School (710 m) and Nan Hua High School (820 m) add bilingual options, while One World International School’s Nanyang campus (590 m) caters to expatriate families. Clementi Town Secondary School and Clementi Primary School are both within 1.3 km. The proximity to NUS also creates a unique educational ecosystem, with the university’s public lectures, library, and sports facilities accessible to residents.

Facilities
The Infiniti’s facilities punch well above what its 315-unit count might suggest, benefiting from the expansive 22,966 sqm site that gives the development room to breathe. The centrepiece is a resort-style swimming pool with a separate lap pool, spa pool, and jacuzzi, set within landscaped grounds that blend seamlessly into the adjacent West Coast Park greenery. A tennis court, basketball practice court, gymnasium, sauna, clubhouse with function room, jogging track, BBQ pits, children’s playground, and fitness corner complete the communal offerings. The 24-hour security provides peace of mind, and the grounds are consistently described by residents as well-maintained and lush.
“A fantastic place to call home. The amenities are top-notch, including a well-equipped gym and beautiful pool area. Serene gardens and play areas are perfect for kids. The community is friendly and welcoming.”

The low-density layout means facilities rarely feel crowded, even on weekends — a luxury that residents of nearby mega-developments like Normanton Park (1,840 units) or Parc Clematis (1,450 units) cannot take for granted. The integration with West Coast Park effectively doubles the recreational space: residents step out the back gate onto cycling paths, open fields, and a coastal promenade. For families with young children, the combination of on-site playgrounds and the park’s adventure playground and water play area creates an unrivalled outdoor lifestyle within District 5. The main caveat is that monthly maintenance fees exceed $300 — on the higher side for this segment, though the extensive grounds and facilities go some way toward justifying the cost.
Unit Sizes & Layout
The Infiniti offers a well-distributed unit mix across its eight blocks: two-bedroom units (904–1,087 sqft), three-bedroom units (1,238–1,561 sqft), three-bedroom-plus-study (1,346–1,561 sqft), four-bedroom units (1,496–1,625 sqft), four-bedroom penthouses (2,357–2,497 sqft), and four-bedroom-plus-study penthouses (2,648 sqft). By contemporary standards, these sizes are generous — a two-bedroom at 904 sqft is what many new launches now call a three-bedroom, and the four-bedroom units at over 1,500 sqft provide family-sized living space that is increasingly difficult to find below $2 million in District 5.
The design philosophy emphasises natural light and visual spaciousness. Full-height windows in the living areas extend seamlessly to the balcony edge, creating an indoor-outdoor flow that makes units feel larger than their stated floor area. Bay windows and planters add functional nooks that residents use as reading corners or display shelves. The low-rise configuration (12 storeys maximum) means units from mid-floor upward enjoy treetop views over West Coast Park, while ground-floor units in some blocks open directly onto landscaped garden areas. Unit orientation matters significantly here: stacks facing the park and greenery are quiet and premium-priced, while those with exposure to the AYE corridor experience traffic noise that discounts accordingly.

Neighbourhood Comparison
The most relevant comparisons are the new-launch 99-year developments that have reshaped District 5’s pricing landscape. Normanton Park ($1,866 PSF, 99-year from 2019, 1,840 units) is the mega-development benchmark — newer facilities and a massive unit count, but leasehold tenure and the density trade-offs of an 1,840-unit project where pool queues and lift waits are a daily reality. Parc Clematis ($1,884 PSF, 99-year from 2019, 1,450 units) offers a similar proposition: newer finishings and comprehensive facilities, but 99-year tenure and compact layouts where a three-bedroom might start at 1,000 sqft — roughly 240–560 sqft less than The Infiniti’s equivalent. Elta ($2,557 PSF, 99-year from 2024, 501 units) represents the latest pricing benchmark — at over $500 PSF more than The Infiniti with a 99-year lease, the quantum gap illustrates how dramatically new-launch pricing has diverged from resale freehold.
Among freehold alternatives in District 5, Faber Residence ($2,155 PSF, 99-year from 2025, 399 units) is incoming supply but carries leasehold tenure despite its premium pricing. The Infiniti’s freehold status becomes its clearest differentiator in this context: at $1,689 PSF, buyers pay less per square foot than every major competitor while securing permanent tenure and significantly larger units. The trade-off is age (2008 versus 2019–2025 completions) and MRT proximity (Normanton Park and Parc Clematis are both closer to Clementi MRT). For buyers who weight tenure and space above newness and walkability, The Infiniti offers a value equation that the new launches cannot match. The upcoming Cross Island Line station will narrow the connectivity gap, potentially catalysing a further re-rating of West Coast freehold assets.
| Development | Tenure | TOP | Units | ~Avg PSF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| THE INFINITI | Freehold | 2008 | 315 | $1,695 |
| LANDED HOUSING DEVELOPMENT | Freehold | 2021 | 156 | $1,842 |
| NORMANTON PARK | 99 yrs lease commencing from 2019 | 2021 | 1,840 | $1,866 |
| PARC CLEMATIS | 99 yrs lease commencing from 2019 | 2021 | 1,450 | $1,888 |
| ELTA | 99 yrs lease commencing from 2024 | 2025 | 501 | $2,556 |

What Residents Say
“A fantastic place to call home. Spacious living areas, top-notch amenities including a well-equipped gym and beautiful pool area. Serene gardens and play areas are perfect for kids. The community is friendly and welcoming.”
— Resident review via 99.co
“Units facing the greenery are by far the BEST. Although there is noise from the AYE, it is pretty low density noise and easy to tune out after a while. Interior finishings are good, and there is a 5-minute condo shuttle bus ride to Clementi central and MRT, which is very convenient.”
— Owner review via PropertyGuru
“Very expensive monthly fees — over $300 a month. Very noisy environment. The traffic noise is unbearable despite my short visit to the development.”
— Visitor feedback via EdgeProp
The pattern across review platforms reveals a development whose experience is highly orientation-dependent. Residents in park-facing stacks are overwhelmingly positive — they praise the lush grounds, family-friendly atmosphere, spacious layouts, and the unbeatable proximity to West Coast Park. Those in AYE-facing stacks are more critical: traffic noise is the dominant complaint, followed by maintenance fees that some feel are steep for the facilities provided. The consistent thread is that The Infiniti’s locational and lifestyle strengths are structural and enduring, while its weaknesses are largely addressable through careful stack selection at purchase. The shuttle bus to Clementi MRT is a small but appreciated touch that partially offsets the MRT distance.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Freehold tenure — no lease decay, permanent land ownership in District 5
- Generous unit sizes: 2-bedrooms from 904 sqft, 4-bedrooms from 1,496 sqft
- Direct adjacency to West Coast Park — cycling, playgrounds, and coastal access at the doorstep
- Low-density, low-rise (12 storeys, 8 blocks) — resort-like atmosphere rarely crowded
- Strong school proximity: Qifa Primary 440 m, Nan Hua Primary 710 m within 1 km enrolment zone
- Attractive PSF at $1,689 — meaningfully below new-launch 99-year competitors in District 5
- Steady capital appreciation from $1,322 to $1,732 PSF over five years
- Resort-style facilities including lap pool, spa pool, tennis court, and basketball court
- Shuttle bus service to Clementi MRT partially offsets MRT distance
- NUS proximity drives consistent rental demand from faculty and graduate students
- Clementi MRT is 1.23 km away — exceeds the 800 m ideal MRT proximity threshold
- AYE traffic noise significantly affects units in expressway-facing stacks
- Development is 18 years old — kitchen and bathroom finishings may need renovation
- Monthly maintenance fees exceed $300 — higher than comparable-sized developments
- Walkability score of 43/100 — car or bus needed for most daily errands beyond the park
- No direct MRT access until Cross Island Line opens (timeline uncertain)
- Low-rise 12-storey blocks limit high-floor premium and panoramic views
- Limited unit mix data suggests thin resale transaction volume
Verdict
The Infiniti occupies an increasingly rare niche in District 5: a freehold, low-density development with generous unit sizes, resort-style grounds, and direct adjacency to one of Singapore’s best-loved coastal parks. At $1,689 PSF, it sits meaningfully below the new-launch competition — Normanton Park ($1,866 PSF, 99-year), Parc Clematis ($1,884 PSF, 99-year), and Elta ($2,557 PSF, 99-year) — while offering what none of them can: freehold tenure and the spatial generosity of a pre-2010 development. For buyers who think in decades rather than flipping cycles, the absence of lease decay is a structural advantage that compounds over time.
The weaknesses deserve equal honesty. The 1.23 km distance to Clementi MRT is a genuine drawback for MRT-dependent households — this is not a development you buy for public transport convenience. The AYE noise issue is real and stack-dependent: buyers must physically visit and test noise levels before committing. The 3.07% gross yield, while respectable, reflects a development where absolute quantum ($1.76 million average) and rental income ($4,369 average monthly) are both moderate. Monthly maintenance fees above $300 are higher than comparable-sized developments. And at 18 years old, some units will need kitchen and bathroom refreshing — factor $50,000–$80,000 for a meaningful renovation into the purchase equation.
Where The Infiniti genuinely shines is in the lifestyle proposition. The combination of low-rise living, lush landscaping, West Coast Park at your doorstep, strong school proximity (Qifa Primary at 440 m), and a neighbourhood character that feels more like a landed estate than a condo belt is something that no amount of new-launch marketing can replicate. The PSF trend — steady appreciation from $1,322 to $1,732 — confirms the market continues to reward these fundamentals. For families who value space, greenery, and freehold security over MRT proximity and new finishings, The Infiniti remains one of West Coast’s most quietly compelling choices. The future Cross Island Line station will only strengthen that position.
