Heritage Revival: Jui Residences Clinches Top Development Award
Jun 01, 2022
Jui Residences, built around Serangoon Road's conserved 1954 National Aerated Water factory, won Top Development (Mixed-Used Completed) at the EdgeProp Singapore Excellence Awards 2022.
The EdgeProp Singapore Excellence Awards 2022 named Jui Residences Top Development in the Mixed-Used Completed category, recognising the Serangoon Road project's integration of new residential space with a conserved heritage landmark.
The scheme is built around the former National Aerated Water Company factory, a two-storey Art Deco building completed in 1954 that bottled soft drinks including Sinalco, RC Cola and Kickapoo Joy Juice for seven decades until the company closed in 1999. Developer SDB Asia, the property arm of Malaysian-listed Selangor Dredging, bought the 31,705 sq ft freehold site for $47 million in December 2016; the National Aerated Water building was gazetted for conservation the following year. Rather than clear the site, the design retains the factory's Art Deco detailing and repurposes it for restaurant and office use, while a sky terrace above the new residential tower carries a site-specific artwork, The Bottle Assembly: Filling Voids and Voids Filling, by Dr Colin K Okashimo.
Jui Residences was completed in September 2021 and has since added to its award record, winning a World Gold in the Residential (Mid-Rise) category at the FIABCI World Prix d'Excellence Awards and a Landscape Excellence Award at the EdgeProp Singapore Property Excellence Awards, both in 2023.
