Fulcrum is a freehold condominium on Fort Road, near Katong Park. Its architecture responds to a constrained coastal setting: the tower is turned towards the coastline, while shared spaces extend through the building rather than occupying only its base.
Development background
Chip Eng Seng’s 2014 annual report identifies Fulcrum at 33 Fort Road as a freehold condominium project with 128 homes. Its construction portfolio names CEL-Fort Pte Ltd as the project owner. These records establish the development’s identity within the group’s residential portfolio.
A tower shaped by its surroundings
LAUD Architects’ project account describes a 24-storey tower surrounded on three sides by other high-rise condominiums. The architects rotated the tower towards the coast and raised it above a landscaped base with an activity deck and swimming pool.
The design also uses interlocking loft layouts to orient living rooms towards the sea. At the top, penthouses occupy the 24th storey. These are descriptions of the original architectural intent; the outlook from any particular home depends on its position and the surrounding buildings.
LAUD distributed communal spaces across different levels, creating both smaller places to rest and larger areas for residents to gather. This arrangement brings shared space into the tower itself. Check with management for present facility access, maintenance closures and booking arrangements.
Katong Park and rail connections
At the junction of Meyer Road and Fort Road, Katong Park adds a historical dimension to the neighbourhood. NParks highlights the excavated South-East Bastion of Fort Tanjong Katong and a heritage Mindanao Gum tree. Consult current park notices when planning a visit.
Katong Park MRT station is on the Thomson-East Coast Line. It was one of the seven stations in Stage 4, which opened in June 2024. Check the station exit and onward route to the development’s entrance when arranging a visit.
