The Vision
Overview & Key Facts
The Vision is a 281-unit condominium developed by Property Enterprises Development (Singapore) Pte Ltd, a member of The Cheung Kong Group (now CK Asset Holdings), located at 71 West Coast Crescent in District 5. Completed in 2015 on a 99-year lease from 2008 (approximately 81 years remaining), the development stands as a striking 33-storey tower near the West Coast waterfront — the tallest building in the immediate vicinity, rising approximately 115 metres above sea level and delivering panoramic sea views that are its defining selling point.
The Vision was conceived as a premium offering in the West Coast corridor, and the development’s design reflects this ambition. The single-tower format was designed to maximise view corridors: nearly 70% of units enjoy sea views, an extraordinary proportion that sets The Vision apart from the cluster of neighbouring condominiums that share the West Coast Crescent address. The tower’s orientation was carefully planned, and the floor plate narrows toward the upper floors to improve panoramic exposure. The development also introduced Singapore’s first rooftop clubhouse, “The Paragon,” with floor-to-ceiling glass walls providing 360-degree views from the 33rd floor — a genuine amenity highlight.
At approximately $1,591 psf on average, The Vision trades in the mid-range for the West Coast-Clementi corridor, positioned below newer launches but reflecting the premium commanded by its height advantage and sea views. The unit mix includes 281 condo units and 14 strata houses, with configurations ranging from two-bedroom apartments (853 sqft) to strata-landed houses exceeding 4,500 sqft — a breadth that caters to both investors and families seeking a distinctive West Coast address.
Location & Connectivity
The Vision occupies a privileged position in the West Coast corridor, sandwiched between West Coast Park to the south and Clementi Woods Park to the north. This green bracketing gives the development a dual-nature amenity that few condominiums in Singapore can claim: coastal recreational space on one side and forested parkland on the other. The West Coast area has a relaxed, slightly under-the-radar character that appeals to residents who prefer a quieter alternative to the better-known East Coast lifestyle strip.
The West Coast-Clementi area is well-served by educational institutions. NUS Kent Ridge campus is approximately 2 km east, making The Vision attractive to visiting academics and research professionals. International schools including Anglo-Chinese School (International) and the National University of Singapore High School of Math and Science are in the broader vicinity. Clementi Mall provides the nearest comprehensive retail and supermarket options, while the Clementi food centre and West Coast Market Square hawker centre offer affordable neighbourhood dining.
West Coast Park itself is a significant recreational asset. The 50-hectare coastal park features cycling paths, playground clusters, barbecue pits, a multi-storey adventure playground, and direct access to the West Coast promenade — a popular route for joggers and cyclists. For families with children, the park is essentially an extension of the condominium’s outdoor space. The development’s height advantage means that upper-floor units enjoy unobstructed views across the park to the sea and the Southern Islands — a visual amenity that appreciates in value as surrounding development is constrained by the park’s protected status.
Schools & Education

| National University of Singapore | tertiary | ~1.4 km |

Facilities
The Vision delivers a premium facilities suite that matches its positioning as a luxury offering in the West Coast corridor. The centrepiece is The Paragon — Singapore’s first rooftop clubhouse, located on the 33rd floor with extravagant floor-to-ceiling glass windows providing breathtaking 360-degree views of the coastline, Southern Islands, and city skyline. The Paragon houses a sky lounge, function room, and wine cellar bar — spaces that residents regularly describe as the development’s most impressive feature and a genuine entertaining asset.
“The rooftop clubhouse is spectacular. The views from the 33rd floor at sunset are genuinely stunning — you can see across to the Southern Islands and the container port. We use the sky lounge for hosting guests and the wine cellar bar for small gatherings. The swimming pool below is well-maintained and landscaped with tropical greenery. For 281 units, the facilities never feel overcrowded. The massage room and aqua gym are nice touches you do not find in many condos.”

Beyond the rooftop, facilities include a swimming pool and children’s pool set in landscaped gardens, an aqua gym, jacuzzi, themed gardens, barbecue pavilion, function room, media room, massage room, covered parking, and 24/7 security. The design philosophy extends the view narrative throughout the common areas — even the ground-level facilities are oriented to capture glimpses of the sea or park landscape. The 281-unit count keeps the facilities-to-resident ratio favourable, and the MCST has maintained the common areas to the standard expected of a development with premium positioning. The strata houses at ground level have private garden spaces, adding an additional layer of exclusivity to the development.
Unit Sizes & Layout
The Vision offers a diverse unit mix spanning 281 condo apartments and 14 strata houses. Apartment configurations include two-bedroom (853–954 sqft), three-bedroom (1,304–2,200 sqft), four-bedroom (1,641–2,365 sqft), and four-bedroom penthouse units (2,773 sqft). The strata houses range from 4,514 to 4,997 sqft, providing landed-style living within a condominium estate — a format that appeals to families wanting space and privacy without giving up condo facilities and security.
The finishing standard is a step above mass-market: marble flooring in living areas, timber strips in bedrooms, branded kitchen appliances, and premium bathroom fittings. The higher-end units and penthouses feature upgraded specifications including full-height marble cladding in bathrooms. Balconies are generously proportioned across most configurations, designed to frame the views that are the development’s primary selling point. The two-bedroom units at 853 sqft offer a compact but workable investor product, while the three-bedroom and above provide genuine family living space. The strata houses, with their own private lifts and gardens, occupy a niche that is difficult to replicate elsewhere in the West Coast corridor.

Neighbourhood Comparison
The Vision ($1,591 psf, 99-year from 2008, ~81 years remaining) competes in the West Coast-Clementi corridor where several condominiums vie for the “sea view” positioning. The most direct comparison is Whistler Grand ($1,650 psf, 99-year from 2018), which also trades on West Coast sea views from its 36-storey tower. Whistler Grand is newer (completed 2022), has more lease runway (91 years), and offers a comprehensive facilities suite. However, The Vision’s 33-storey height and narrower floor plate means individual units capture wider panoramic views, and its 281-unit count creates a less crowded community than Whistler Grand’s 716 units.
Twin VEW ($1,480 psf, 99-year from 2017) nearby offers a lower entry point with partial sea views from its twin towers, but its larger 520-unit count and position slightly further from the waterfront reduce the view premium. For buyers specifically seeking the sea-view lifestyle, The Vision and Whistler Grand are the primary options, with the choice coming down to newer finishes and more lease (Whistler Grand) versus more distinctive architecture and lower density (The Vision).
For those willing to sacrifice sea views for better MRT access, Kent Ridge Hill Residences ($1,750 psf, 99-year from 2019) near Pasir Panjang MRT offers newer construction with Circle Line connectivity, though at a premium PSF without the waterfront views. The trade-off captures the fundamental tension in the West Coast market: views versus transport accessibility. The Vision clearly prioritises the former.

What Residents Say
“We chose The Vision specifically for the sea views and we have not been disappointed. Our three-bedroom on the 25th floor looks out across West Coast Park to the sea and the Southern Islands. Every evening the sunset is spectacular. The rooftop clubhouse is a real showpiece — visitors are always impressed. The pool area is nicely done and not crowded. The only real downside is the distance to MRT — we drive everywhere, so it does not affect us much, but it would be a problem if we relied on public transport.”
— Owner-occupier, three-bedroom unit, since 2017 (PropertyGuru)
“The balconies are generous and some even face the sea. The arrival plaza and lift lobby feel more upscale than neighbouring condos. It is less than one minute to the nearest bus stop, which helps with the MRT distance. West Coast Park is right there for the kids to play. The strata houses at the base are enormous and beautifully designed. My only complaints are the odd triangular shapes in some units — our living room has an awkward corner that is hard to furnish — and the West Coast Highway can be noisy with windows open.”
— Owner-occupier, three-bedroom unit, since 2018 (99.co)
“Invested in a two-bedder for rental and the yield has been satisfactory. The sea view premium helps with tenant appeal — expat tenants are willing to pay extra for the outlook. Location between West Coast Park and Clementi Woods is great for families, which drives demand. My concern longer-term is the MRT distance — it limits the tenant pool to those with cars or those willing to bus. But for now, occupancy has been consistent.”

- Singapore’s first rooftop clubhouse (The Paragon) on 33rd floor with 360-degree panoramic views and sky lounge
- Premium facilities: aqua gym, wine cellar bar, massage room, themed gardens, function rooms — resort-quality at 281 units
- Dual-park setting between West Coast Park (coastal recreation) and Clementi Woods Park (nature walks)
- Diverse unit mix including 14 strata houses (4,500+ sqft) — rare landed-style living within condo estate
- NUS proximity generates steady academic rental demand from visiting faculty and research staff
- 81 years remaining on lease — comfortable CPF and financing parameters for foreseeable future
- Premium finishing: marble floors, timber bedrooms, branded appliances, and higher specs in penthouses
- AYE expressway access within 5 minutes — CBD 15 min, Jurong East 10 min for drivers
- Clementi MRT is ~1.1 km away — 14-minute walk makes the development car-dependent for daily commuting
- Angular/triangular unit layouts from tapering tower design create odd corners and furniture placement challenges
- West Coast Highway noise affects sea-facing lower-floor units — road traffic audible with windows open
- View premium already priced into PSF — limited room for capital appreciation beyond broader corridor growth
- OCR location at $1,591 psf is not cheap for a 2015-vintage development — comparable PSF available in newer builds
- Limited immediate retail — Clementi Mall and West Coast Market Square require walking or bus ride
- Some unit types have inefficient floor areas where angular walls reduce usable space below nominal sqft
- Strata house premiums are substantial — entry exceeds $5M for what remains leasehold landed living
Verdict
The Vision is a development that lives and dies by its views. The 33-storey height advantage in a low-rise neighbourhood, the 70% sea-view ratio, and the rooftop Paragon clubhouse combine to create a visual experience that is genuinely difficult to replicate at this price point in Singapore. For buyers who prioritise waking up to sea views and entertaining guests against a panoramic backdrop, The Vision makes a compelling case. The West Coast Park frontage, the proximity to NUS, and the 81 years of remaining lease add substance to the proposition.
The weaknesses are equally clear. The 1.1 km distance to Clementi MRT makes this a car-dependent development for daily commuting. The angular unit layouts that maximise views also create furniture-placement challenges and corners that feel wasted. West Coast Highway noise affects sea-facing lower floors. And at $1,591 psf, The Vision is not inexpensive for a 2015-vintage condo in an OCR location — the view premium is real and already priced in. Capital appreciation from here depends on the broader West Coast corridor narrative (NUS expansion, one-north growth, potential MRT improvements) rather than any development-specific catalyst.
The Vision suits a specific buyer: someone who values the daily experience of sea views and coastal living, who is comfortable with car-based mobility, and who appreciates a lower-density development with premium facilities in a family-friendly neighbourhood. It is a lifestyle purchase first and an investment second. For those buyers, the development delivers on its central promise — a room with a view that few other developments in the western corridor can match.
