Compact Urban Living with a Separate Bedroom
The mini one-bedroom layouts are intended for buyers who want an efficient apartment without giving up the privacy of a dedicated bedroom. The 379 sq ft option provides the most accessible confirmed entry point within the development. It may suit an individual buyer looking for a manageable Westlands residence or an investor targeting tenants who prioritise location over excess floor area.
The 413 sq ft option provides approximately 34 additional square feet. Depending on the floor plan, this may create more flexibility within the living room, bedroom, storage or circulation areas. Buyers should compare both layouts carefully before making a reservation. The larger unit is not automatically the better option, as outlook, floor position, internal arrangement and price may also affect suitability.
