Aspen Heights

Aspen Heights is a large condominium development in the central area of Singapore, near the financial centre of Singapore, as well as being close to several other notable landmarks such as Fort Canning Hill and Plaza Singapura. Construction works began in 1995, and when the condominium opened in 1999, it contained roughly 600 apartments. Currently, the condominium's population is estimated to be 2,610, and it's total land area is estimated to be about 0.12 square kilometres.
Aspen Heights is run by the Resident's Council, a group of seven residents (historically this number was in between five and seven) of Aspen Heights who volunteer to serve on the Council. They volunteer themselves or are nominated by the owners that are present in the Annual General Meeting, held once a year during the last week of October, and are then elected by popular vote, in accordance with Section 41 of the Land Titles (Strata) Act, Chapter 158 of the Statutes of the Republic of Singapore. This council preside over the major decisions made in the condominium, such as the installation, renovation or dismantling of equipment. However, certain large scale works, such as major renovations or upgrading works on common areas or facilities such as the swimming pool, barbecue pit or the fire command centre require a two-thirds majority vote in the Annual General Meeting.
The other party responsible for the upkeep of the condominium is the Managing Agent, or MA, also colloquially referred to as "Management" or "the Management". Unlike the Resident's Council, which is composed of residents of Aspen Heights who volunteer to serve on the council, the Management is composed of three full-time staff members who are responsible for running the day-to-day matters of the condominium, such as processing administrative paperwork, enforcing the by-laws, and addressing everyday concerns of the residents. The Council meets once a month, with Management present, to discuss new proposals for the continuous improvement of the condominium facilities, as well as to monitor progress on ongoing projects.
The current administrators in Aspen Heights are Chairman Lauren Liang, a director in a multinational company, Manager Low Chiu Ping, and Assistant Manager Richard Villalon, a former Regimental Sergeant Major in the Singapore Armed Forces.
