Be a neighbor to Mandai Integrated Resort
With government plans and investment underway to turn the leafy swathe of Mandai into a 126ha eco-tourism hub, the area will house the famous Singapore Zoo, the River Safari, the Night Safari, the Bird Park, and the new Rainforest Park from as early as 2020.
There will also be eco-sensitive accommodations such as camps, tents and family rooms, together with Singapore’s very first Banyan Tree resort.

Direct access to city centre
Just 500m away is the new Springleaf station (on the Thomson-East Coast Line), which will be operational by The Essence’s TOP. The Thomson-East Coast Line is connected to every current MRT line.
Enjoy direct access to Orchard and Marina Bay stations, which are around 20 minutes away on the Southbound track. Also, with Woodlands North station just 3 stations from Springleaf station (Northbound track), Johor Bahru becomes a convenient destination.
Convenient routes to other districts
In addition, The Essence is conveniently located a short distance away from the North-South integrated transport corridor, which is expected to be completed around 2026. Running parallel to the Central Expressway (CTE), it will greatly reduce the time taken for inter-town travel. A cycling path along the entire stretch of the highway will also link up Park Connector Networks and the dedicated cycling path networks within HDB towns along the corridor.
Enjoy a gastronomical adventure
Located near a variety of local and international cuisines, your tastebuds will never be bored!
