The Minton

5-mins drive from Serangoon is The Minton, housing 1145 residential units, packed full of facilities and extensive landscape. Arriving at the compound, you are greeted by its massive green wall at the guardhouse. Maintenance on the sloped surface requires a boom lift for access to the topmost part of the wall. Inside, residents are spoilt for choice with the available facilities which include a theme-park water playground, hydrotherapy onsen spa and 90sqm golf course. Animal topiaries are regularly manicured and shaped to perfection.  

Amidst the modern amenities, you see a lush tropical forest abound on the north-eastern side of the development. This verdant setting consists of 1,155 trees and palms in total, as well as 81,300 shrubs and groundcovers. The property’s prized feature- the Amazonian Lily Pond, also proves to be a challenge harmonizing the integration between the water lilies and Koi fishes. A special planter box had to be incorporated to prevent over-grazing.
