Symphony Suites is a 660-unit condo development comprising two- to four-bedroom units.
Since the project is not situated in the heart of Yishun, potential buyers can expect prices to be slightly lower. On top of that, it is being marketed as a ‘no-frills’ project, meaning that its units will not have balconies or private enclosed spaces, thus reducing total sellable area.
For dining or shopping needs, the upcoming Junction 9 is a mere two-minute walk away. Northpoint Shopping Centre is slightly further down, just opposite Yishun MRT. The current mall will be expanded by almost three times, with the completion of the upcoming integrated development, Northpoint City, right next to it. SAFRA Yishun is a two-minute drive away and is the perfect place for some family fun time during the weekends.
There are many schools within the vicinity. Ahmad Ibrahim Secondary School, Chung Cheng High School (Yishun) and Yishun Junior College are all within a two-kilometre radius. As for international schools, GEMS World Academy (Singapore) is only a two-minute drive away.
The development is easily accessible via the SLE, CTE, TPE, Yishun Avenue 2 and Yishun Ring Road.

Signature at Yishun is a 525-unit executive condo development consisting of two- to four-bedroom units.
The project is located in a relatively quiet part of Yishun, so residents will definitely have their privacy. For a quick bite or grocery haul, the upcoming Wisteria Mall slated to open in 2018 will be a five-minute walk away. Northpoint Shopping Centre and Yishun 10, which houses Golden Village Cinemas Yishun, are a five-minute drive away.
Schools in the neighbourhood include Northland Primary School, Orchid Park Secondary School, Northbrooks Secondary School, Yishun Junior College and GEMS World Academy (Singapore).
The development consists of 11 blocks, each 12 storeys high. What is interesting about it is that it pays homage to Singapore’s heritage, in celebration of SG50. Some of the facilities and structures within the project are very clearly reminiscent of the past — a chapteh terrace, five stones lounge pods, and the dragon playground in the pool.
Signature at Yishun is easily accessible via major expressways such as the SLE, CTE and TPE.
