About 21 Richards & Management Office Contact
Development Background
21 Richards is a freehold residential development at 21 Richards Avenue in the Kovan area. Developed by Aurum Land (Private) Limited, it contains 31 homes. The original developer brochure identifies the housing project as Twenty One Richards.
Aurum's other residential work includes Rivage, which appears alongside 21 Richards in the developer's published portfolio. The connection is their developer; the two buildings are in different neighbourhoods and have their own layouts and management arrangements.
Apartments and Penthouses
The original accommodation schedule comprises 23 conventional apartments and eight penthouses. The apartments include one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, while the penthouses include two-bedroom, three-bedroom and three-bedroom-plus-study configurations. This is a varied mix for a development of 31 units.
Some homes were designed with private roof terraces and jacuzzis. Check the particular floor plan before treating either feature as part of a listing. In a penthouse, assess the stairs, the relationship between indoor rooms and outdoor areas, and the amount of usable space on each level.
For a smaller apartment, try a furniture layout that allows for storage, a dining area and any home-working needs. At a viewing, compare the plan with the actual rooms and check whether renovations have changed the original arrangement.
Facilities and Parking
The developer's specification lists a communal swimming pool and gym. It also describes surface parking together with a mechanical parking system. These are useful details to establish before a viewing, particularly for someone intending to keep a car at the property.
Ask management how parking is allocated and, where mechanical parking applies, confirm the vehicle dimensions and operating procedure. Check current facility access and maintenance arrangements in person. A brochure describes the original provision, but does not establish today's equipment condition or booking rules.
Kovan and Everyday Errands
Kovan MRT station on the North East Line is the nearby rail reference point for 21 Richards. The residential address is on Richards Avenue, so plan the pedestrian route from the building entrance to the station rather than relying only on the distance between map markers.
Heartland Mall Kovan, at Block 205 Hougang Street 21, is a local shopping destination. Its official directory includes food outlets, shops and services. This gives residents a practical reference point for combining shopping, a meal and other errands in the Kovan centre.
Walk the route at a time that reflects your routine. Road crossings, uncovered stretches and carrying groceries can affect how convenient a journey feels. If you normally travel by bus, check the boarding side and return route as well as the service number.
What to Check in a Specific Home
Inspect windows, air-conditioning, bathrooms and any outdoor terrace carefully. For homes with a jacuzzi, establish its condition, maintenance history and whether it is included in the agreed inventory.
Request current maintenance charges and any planned works, and confirm the procedures for moving in, deliveries and renovations. Estate.sg's 21 Richards management office listing provides the directory contact details for these enquiries.
