Design Excellence
Design Concept: As semi-detached houses often portraits a combined residential unit forming a huge mass which often hardens the streetscape, the façade of this house was treated to refine or even renew the perception about what a semi-detached house is.
Exterior Aesthetics: The façade is a combination of curtain wall and groove lines which does not fit a certain niche but will appear to a timeless piece. We often take for granted the use of glass but once it is properly utilized, as the 2-level curtain wall in front of the house, it has the power to instil awe and spark imagination. It projects an ingrained beauty and elegance. Complementing the front glass façade are carefully placed groove lines. This combination will not be fated to be just a trend, but it will always carry the meaning of modernity.
Interior Aesthetics & Finishes: Thin metal ledges and c-channels are also used to give an extra kick of modern accent. The exterior colours are properly selected to create contrast which also blend well as a whole. At first storey level, a driveway which leads all the way to the rear of the house has been introduced. It can cater for 4-5 standard sized vehicles. It also creates future possibilities for expansion, or as its own, gives a feeling of being drawn-in into the house. It has a lobby which also acts as a foyer to the living room above. Going to the 2nd storey, an open-concept space which consist of the living room, dining and wet kitchen faces a view of a spacious open terrace through the full-width glass sliding doors. This eliminates the lack of view of a standard living room in the 1st storey which usually is connected to the car porch and the tight side setback. Part of the living and dining are double-volume which maximizes the open-concept feature. The rooms in the mezzanine floor and 3rd storey are place at the rear and front of the house which are provided with abundant natural lighting and ventilation.

Sustainability Excellence
Ecological & Environmental Values: The semi-detached houses are designed to allow the internal spaces to be naturally ventilated from all sides. This allows for cross-ventilation to keep the spaces within the house cool. The walls are constructed with Autoclaved Aerated Lightweight Concrete (ALC) Panels which provides excellent thermal insulation, with a k-value of 9-times less than concrete, helps retain coolness indoors, saving on energy costs. The air conditioners – Therm-Aire comes with proprietary cooling system applying solar thermal technology and incorporating a thermal collector with evacuated tubes to harness renewable solar and ambient heat throughout the entire day. Therm-Aire is the world’s first solar thermal hybrid air conditioning system, reducing enery consumption by up to 55%, with average coefficient of performance (CoP) of above 5. Therm-Aire is recognised locally and worldwide. It is a Certified Green Product by Singapore Green Building Council and has obtained Building and Construction Authority (BCA) – Maximum Green Mark Points. It has also received the Institute of Engineers Singapore Engineering Awards (IES) 2019 and ASEAN Federation of Engineers Organisation (AFEO) Outstanding Engineering Award 2019. Low E Glasses are used for the skylight to help reduce the transmission of heat into the house and thus reduce energy cost. It reduces destructive UV Rays and yet allows natural lightings into the house.
Environmental Friendliness: The features seek to reduce the transmission of heat into the house and by keeping the house naturally ventilated thus lowering the consumption of energy. The use of Therm-Aire air conditioners also lowers the use of electricity to power the air-conditioners by using solar tubes instead. This in turn helps to reduce the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere, creating a greener and healthier environment for all.

We recognise the changing lifestyles and desires of the new millennium home owners and are prepared to do our utmost to meet their needs and requirements.
One of our marketing objectives is also to help prospective buyers visualise the space and layout of the house which they are interested through our 3D Virtual Tours.

Primary Target Audience: Our aspiring home owners are in their 30s to early 50s who are looking for architecturally unique houses with flexible layouts to suit their needs. They are largely high-flying professionals, business owners and millennium entrepreneurs who have accumulated massive amount of wealth in the past years. Household sizes range from small with two persons to multi-generations living. The homes we build can also appeal to newly minted citizens taking into account their way of life and altering the house to suit their needs.
Marketing Strategy: JG Land adopts a careful calibration of cost and returns on our advertising campaign within the allocated budget. Billboards located at development sites are used to advertise and cross sell our products and services. It allows prospective buyers to easily reach out to us and also creates brand recognition for JG Land. Promotions on social media and online advertisements such as Advertorials on The Edge Property are done to promote the company and its developments. We seek to communicate what the company stands for and the Unique Selling Points (USP) of each and every development we carefully crafted. Prospective Home buyers can also visualise the developments through our online virtual tour. This will allow them to see and feel the space of the developments before committing to a purchase. We also work closely with our Marketing and Sales Partners to promote the development to their prospective buyers. We stand ready to support our Partners in going through the development with their clients and sharing with them the JG Land’s story. Having been in the market for more than a decade with our focus on customer service and unique home offerings, our existing customers and partners through word of mouth will often refer their friends or clients to our developments. A budget is also allocated to delight our home-owners during the home purchase and customisation process.
Deployment of Marketing Technology: Using online 3D virtual tour, home buyers can see and feel the space within our developments while we are selling off plans and when the developments are under construction. They will be able to see and feel how the home will look like with furniture and carpentry in place. This helps our prospective buyers in making a more informed decision in the purchase of our developments.
Promotion: 3D renderings and virtual tour of internal spaces within the homes helps our prospective buyers to visualise how the property will look like. Our developments offer utmost flexible in terms of layout and space planning while buyers during the early stage of construction can customise spaces to their requirements, for example, some buyers may want to combine 2 rooms into 1 larger room or to redesignate an area for other usage. Our developments are also sustainable with the use of Eco-friendly air-conditioning which uses solar tubes to lower electrical usage, Aerated Light-weight Concrete Panels that are pre-fabricated offsite and installed onsite amongst others.
Value-added Services: We are able to assist our buyers with initial customisation of the developments during early stage of construction.
