Welcome to the launch of the Reserve Residences, the residential part of a new mixed-use development in Upper Bukit Timah. This project is located next to the Beauty World MRT station and is integrated with a transport hub. It is named after the nearby Bukit Timah Hill and Reserve.
The development aims to enhance Beauty World as a green urban village, as part of URA’s plans to rejuvenate the area. It will offer homes along with retail, food and beverage outlets, and civic spaces, creating a lively neighborhood.
The Reserve Residences will be lushly landscaped to add to the area’s greenery, providing a pleasant living environment close to nature. It’s near Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, the Central Water Catchment rainforests, and Upper Pierce Reservoir.
A pedestrian network will connect the buildings with transport nodes and nature parks, making it easy to walk around.
This standout project is being developed by Far East Organisation and its sister company, Sino Group. Far East has a strong track record in residential, retail, and hospitality developments and is also developing One Holland Village, a similar project in Holland Village.
With its unique features and prime location, The Reserve Residences is a highly anticipated launch, set to become a key retail and F&B hub in Bukit Timah.
This mixed-use residential and commercial project is being developed on a site sold by the government. The land was auctioned using a two-stage Concept + Price Tender approach.
The URA used this method to select high-quality development concepts that fit well with the surrounding area and offer good integration of amenities, connected by pedestrian-friendly streets and public spaces.
In the first stage, the Concept Evaluation Committee shortlisted proposals that met their criteria. In the second stage, the site was awarded to the highest bid among the shortlisted proposals.
Far East Organization and its sister company, Sino Group, won with a bid of SGD$1.03 billion. They submitted three different proposals, with the winning design led by WOHA, a famous Singapore architectural firm.
Their bid just edged out a $1.01 billion bid by Wing Tai Holdings and Mercatus Commercial Trust.
Developers are bidding aggressively for sites across Singapore to replenish their depleting land banks, as most of their current projects are nearly sold out. They also expect housing demand to increase as the Singapore economy gradually recovers this year.
According to the URA, the proposal from Far East Organization and Sino Group shows a well-planned design with spacious building blocks and a thoughtful tropical style.
This new residential and commercial complex will cover about 1,039,000 square feet.
219,672 square feet of this will be a three-story shopping mall with a basement. The mall will include shops, clinics, food and beverage outlets, a supermarket, and education and childcare services. It will be directly connected to the Beauty World MRT station via a pedestrian underpass.
The complex will also be integrated with the new Beauty World Bus Interchange, making it a key transport hub for the Bukit Timah area.
21,500 square feet will be dedicated to a community space designed as an “intergeneration hub” for children, youth, and seniors. Additionally, there will be a 19,375 square foot plaza for community and special events.
The URA stated that “a central atrium located in the heart of the development will be an attractive, naturally ventilated sheltered public space for various seasonal and community events.”
The remaining space will be used for serviced apartments and residential units, many of which will offer clear panoramic views of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
Far East Organisation mentioned that the design is inspired by the natural beauty of the nearby Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. They aim to create a lively urban village surrounded by lush gardens and spaces. The towers are positioned to provide many residents with panoramic views of the nature reserve.
There will also be ‘Forest Gardens’ on the third floor, which will be publicly accessible communal gardens, adding to the greenery visible from the street.
Far East is well-suited for this project due to their extensive experience with mixed-use developments. Their goal is to create a new landmark in the prime Bukit Timah area.

The Reserve Residences Site Plan
The Reserve Residences @ Beauty World is located on a large plot of land in Upper Bukit Timah. This site is rhomboid-shaped and surrounded by roads on all four sides.
The Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) runs along the south-east edge, while Jalan Anak Bukit is on the north-east boundary. Access to the site is from Upper Bukit Timah Road to the south-west and Jalan Jurong Kechil to the north-west, which are less busy and more suitable for entry and exit.
The best views are to the north-east across Jalan Anak Bukit, offering an unblocked view of the greenery of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Bukit Timah Hill.
The development includes four residential blocks sitting above a three-story shopping podium:
- Block 1: A 160-unit serviced apartment block next to the PIE.
- Block 2: An 11-storey low-rise residential block with 12 exclusive garden villas, each sharing a private lift between every two units.
- Block 3: A 16-storey mid-rise residential block.
- Block 4: A 32-storey high-rise residential block, the tallest in the area, serving as a landmark in Bukit Timah.
There are over 70 facilities spread across three main levels (L4, L5, L6) and the Sky Terraces (at L12, L17, L32, and L33).

Location
The Reserve Residences are located at the corner of Upper Bukit Timah Road and Jalan Jurong Kechil, near the upscale Bukit Timah neighborhood. This area has a rich history and still features some old shophouses along its streets.
Public Transport & MRT Line
The Reserve Residences have a direct underground link to the Beauty World MRT station. The LTA and URA designed the station with a ready passage for seamless connectivity to the Beauty World Bus Interchange. Residents will have direct, sheltered access to both the MRT system and bus services.
Beauty World station is on the Downtown MRT Line, which runs along Bukit Timah Road to various destinations including Botanic Gardens, Newton, Bugis, Marina Bay, Chinatown, and Fort Canning. Travel time is 12 minutes to Newton and 22 minutes to Bayfront.
Shops, F&B, Supermarkets, Banks
Residents will have access to a variety of amenities. The Reserve Residences will include a shopping mall serving the wider Upper Bukit Timah community, featuring a range of F&B and retail outlets.
Across Jalan Jurong Kechil is Linq @ Beauty World with its ground-level shops. Nearby, there are Beauty World Plaza, Beauty World Centre, and Bukit Timah Shopping Centre, which, although older, may be ripe for redevelopment, potentially transforming the area into a major shopping hub.
Bukit Timah Plaza, east of The Reserve Residences, is currently a popular shopping center catering well to local needs. Together, these provide a comprehensive range of lifestyle and retail options, including F&B outlets, lifestyle goods and services, supermarkets, banks, and medical and dental clinics.
There are also numerous shops and services around the site, including coffee shops, eateries, cafes, salons, spas, and car accessory outlets. Additionally, Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre are diagonally across the main road, offering something for everyone.
Schools
The Reserve Residences are within 1 KM of Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School, less than a 5-minute walk across Upper Bukit Timah Road. Methodist Girl’s School is also within a 1 KM radius, at King Albert Park MRT station.
The Downtown MRT line provides access to top-ranking schools along Bukit Timah Road, such as Nanyang Girls’ High, Raffles Girls’ Primary, National Junior College, Hwa Chong Institution, and Anglo-Chinese and Singapore Chinese Girls schools.
Bukit Timah also hosts several international schools and tertiary institutions, including Chatsworth International (Bukit Timah Campus), Hollandse School, Singapore Korean International School, Swiss School in Singapore, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic, and the National University of Singapore (Bukit Timah campus).
Lifestyle Amenities
The Reserve Residences are just across Jalan Anak Bukit from Rifle Range Nature Park and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Nature lovers can enjoy hiking trails in the park, while the nature reserve is home to a rich and diverse ecological system with much of the nation’s native flora and fauna.
Accessibility
The location offers quick access to the island-wide expressway network, with the nearest PIE (Pan Island Expressway) exit just a couple of minutes’ drive away. It takes about 25 minutes to reach Changi International Airport and 20 minutes to Raffles Place and the CBD during off-peak hours.
