Property District: West

The Myst condo is a new residential development located at 800 and 802 Upper Bukit Timah Road. It is being launched for sale by CDL Aries, a part of City Developments Singapore.

The project is situated in a mainly residential area and stands out for being quite close to an MRT station. It is about 450 meters, or a 6-minute walk, to Cashew station on the Downtown MRT Line via a sheltered footpath.

Additionally, the condo is near the Central Water Catchment area of Singapore, known for its reservoirs, lush greenery, and natural forests. The name “The Myst” is inspired by the misty mornings over Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.

The Myst Residences offers some open views to the north, west, and south. To the north, there are unobstructed views over low-rise buildings, the Rail Corridor, and greenery. To the south, the views include low-rise buildings and schools, with sightlines stretching to Dairy Farm Nature Park and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Higher floor units on the south side may have views of the greenery on Bukit Timah Hill and its nature reserves.

To the west/southwest, across Bukit Timah Road, is Bukit Gombak, another low-rise area that offers an open outlook.

Homes in this estate are appealing to buyers seeking a quieter, greener environment, providing a laid-back and relaxed atmosphere. Studies have shown that homes near the Central Catchment water bodies and parks are, on average, 2 degrees cooler than the rest of Singapore and benefit from fresher, less polluted air. This could attract future residents, especially considering rising global temperatures.

The residential blocks at The Myst condo use Brise Soleil to block sunlight and reduce heat inside the buildings. The exterior colors are neutral, with wood beiges and dark greys against ivory white backgrounds, giving a look of understated elegance.

All units face north-south to reduce heat gain and catch the prevailing winds. The two residential blocks are side by side, ensuring no overlap and maximizing privacy and views.

Seventy-five percent of the site is dedicated to landscaping and facilities, including two clubhouses. Service areas like M&E rooms and the bin center are hidden in the basement, and the tennis court is sunken to minimize noise.

The project has two entrance and exit points and two side gates, one of which leads to Cashew MRT station via a partly covered walkway.

Concierge services include arrival welcome and assistance, receiving deliveries, making reservations for facilities, hotels, restaurants, and transport, providing wet weather assistance, and helping with booking services like laundry, housekeeping, chef, pet grooming, and handyman services.

Myst Residences is conveniently located near various amenities.

 

 

It is about 500 meters, or a 6-minute walk via a footpath, to Hillion Mall at Bukit Panjang MRT station. Hillion Mall has a wide range of shops, including cafes, fast food outlets, restaurants, bakeries, a food court, a Fairprice supermarket, a bank, salons, clinics, pharmacies, and music schools.

In the other direction, it is also a 6-minute walk (partly sheltered) to Cashew MRT station, offering even more dining and shopping options.

One train stop south is Hillview station, which is a 5-minute walk from HillV2 and the unique Rail Mall. HillV2 is an upscale mall with F&B outlets, lifestyle shops, and a gourmet market. Rail Mall, with its rows of one-storey shophouses, features an eclectic mix of cafes and small shops.

Both HillV2 and Rail Mall provide an interesting change from typical shopping centers, offering pleasant places to hang out, like for afternoon tea or a chat with friends.

For serious shopping, the upcoming Reserve Mall, set to be completed in 2028, is the best option. Part of a mega integrated development at Beauty World along Upper Bukit Timah Road, it will connect directly to Beauty World MRT station via a pedestrian underpass. With over 200,000 sq ft of retail space across four floors, along with older shopping centers like Bukit Timah Plaza, Beauty World will become the retail heart of Bukit Timah.

Myst Residences also stands out for its outdoor options. A 15-minute walk south, past the MRT station, along a park connector, leads to Dairy Farm Nature Park and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, which offer hiking and cycling trails for nature enthusiasts and green spaces for relaxation.

The Dairy Farm and Hillview areas have a higher-than-normal expatriate population, which could lead to healthy rental demand for homes in the area.

The Myst Site Plan

The Myst Singapore site is a pentagon-shaped, almost square, piece of land located off Upper Bukit Timah Road. On its north side, it borders an open space area and Fajar Secondary School.

To the east and south, it is adjacent to the Hazel Park condominium. The east side of Hazel Park has high-rise blocks, while the southern part near the Myst condo consists of low-rise buildings.

The west boundary borders a footpath next to a canal that runs parallel to the main road. This footpath allows residents to walk north to Hillion Mall and south to Cashew MRT station.

Across the canal and fronting Upper Bukit Timah Road is a narrow strip of old shophouses, which are unlikely to be built high in the future.

Thus, the site is relatively unblocked to the north, west, and south, offering potential greenery views, especially for south-facing units. Higher floor units on the south side might have views extending to Bukit Timah Hill and its nature reserves.

The main vehicular entrance to the site will be via a short lane directly from Upper Bukit Timah Road.

Developer

The Myst at Bukit Timah is developed by CDL Aries, a wholly-owned unit of City Developments Pte Ltd (CDL).

City Developments Pte Ltd (CDL)

City Developments Pte Ltd (CDL) is part of the Hong Leong Group, a diversified conglomerate with interests in various sectors. CDL was listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange in 1963, giving it a 60-year track record in property development, investment, and management. Over the years, CDL has developed an impressive portfolio of residential, commercial, and retail properties, hotels, and serviced suites.

CDL is now recognized as an international real estate giant, operating in 112 locations across 29 regions. The company is known for its quality and innovation in the development industry. CDL manages 23 million square feet of residential, commercial, and hospitality assets worldwide and has a global land bank of 3.3 million square feet.

CDL is considered one of Singapore’s most trusted and well-known developers, with a successful track record of over 48,000 homes in Singapore and other countries like Australia, China, Japan, and the UK. Some notable local projects include St Regis Residences, Nouvel 18, Boulevard 88, New Futura at Leonie Hill, Cliveden @ Grange, Gramercy Park, The Oceanfront @ Sentosa Cove, The Sail @ Marina Bay, The Pier at Robertson, Residences @ Evelyn, The Glyndebourne, Amber Park, Golden Hill Villas, and Goldenhill Park.

CDL has also developed several integrated projects, such as South Beach with South Beach Residences on Beach Road, Piccadilly Grand, and Canninghill Piers in collaboration with CapitaLand.

Over the years, City Developments Pte Ltd (CDL) has received numerous building awards and accolades. As of 2021, CDL is the only developer to have won the BCA’s Quality Excellence Award – Quality Champion (Platinum) – for nine consecutive years. This award recognizes developers and builders for their commitment to delivering high-quality homes with excellent workmanship. CDL is ranked as the top developer in BCA’s “Search for Quality Housing” online tool.

In addition, Euromoney’s 2020 Real Estate Survey named CDL as Singapore’s “Best Residential Real Estate Developer.”

CDL has also played a significant role in Singapore’s sustainability drive. Since 2022, the company has adopted a “Conserve as we Construct” approach, investing in resource efficiency and productivity innovations. This commitment has positioned CDL as a leader in sustainability, earning numerous awards for its “green” buildings.

CDL’s dedication to quality and sustainable development has reinforced its reputation as an industry leader.

Location

The Myst condo is located in the private residential Cashew and Hazel Park estate, which features a mix of landed houses and low to mid-rise condominiums. To the east, across the Bukit Timah Expressway, are Chestnut Nature Park and the Central Catchment Nature Reserve. To the south are Dairy Farm Nature Park and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Hill.

This residential enclave has been established for a long time. The landed homes here range from one to three storeys high in various styles. Given their proximity to nature reserves, the road names often have tree or “nut” themes, such as Hazel Park Terrace, Chestnut Crescent, Almond Avenue, and Cashew Road.

Amenities

The closest shopping and dining venue for residents is Hillion Mall, about a 6-minute walk along a footpath. This mall has a food court, fast food outlets, cafes, a Fairprice supermarket, and a range of shops and services.

For a different experience, residents can take a short ride to the HillV2 lifestyle mall or the vintage Rail Mall. HillV2 offers an interesting selection of shops and F&B outlets, including local, Italian, Korean, and Japanese cuisine, as well as bistros and ice-cream creameries. It also has a supermarket, Hillview Market Place, providing a change from usual grocery shopping trips. HillV2 has an upmarket, “hip & cool” vibe.

In contrast, the Rail Mall consists of old single-storey shops with an instagram-worthy facade, featuring a mix of shops, cafes, and bars in a quirky, laid-back environment. Both malls are popular hangouts for residents and visitors from surrounding estates and offices.

In the future, a major retail hub will develop around Beauty World station, two MRT stops down the Downtown Line. Currently, the area has a few old shopping centers, shophouses, and a market and food center. Bukit Timah Plaza has long been the main mall for Bukit Timah residents.

By 2028, the Reserve Mall integrated development at Beauty World is expected to be completed. It promises to become the main retail point of the Bukit Timah district, offering four floors of mall space spanning over 200,000 sq ft, directly connected to Beauty World station. Managed by Far East Organisation, it is likely to provide a comprehensive shopping experience.

Nearest MRT Station and Line

The nearest MRT station is Cashew station on the Downtown MRT Line, about 450 meters or a 6-minute walk via a footpath. The walk is pleasant, with no major roads to cross and a couple of open spaces along the way.

The Downtown Line is very convenient, passing through Bukit Timah with its many schools, the Botanic Gardens (which connects to the Circle Line), and on to Newton, Bugis, Marina Bay, Chinatown, and Tampines, ending at Changi.

 

Schools and Educational Institutions

The Downtown Line is also beneficial for families with children, as it passes through the Bukit Timah education belt. Bukit Timah is known for its highly-regarded schools such as Methodist Girls, Raffles Girls, Nanyang Girls High, NUS (Bukit Timah Campus), National Junior College, Hwa Chong Institution, Singapore Chinese Girls’ schools, and Anglo-Chinese Boys (Barker Road).

If you’re aiming for a place in a Bukit Timah primary school, it might be easier compared to getting a spot in a popular HDB heartland school due to lower housing density and less competition in Bukit Timah.

Nature and Leisure Activities

What sets the Myst location apart is its proximity to nature reserves and parks. Few places have as many large nature reserves nearby, offering walking paths and cycling trails, encouraging a healthier and more relaxed lifestyle amidst greenery.

Accessibility and Connectivity

The Myst condo location is very convenient. Besides being close to Cashew MRT station, it is also near the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE). It’s a 2.5KM drive from the BKE, either via Bukit Panjang Road or Dairy Farm Road.

Once on the BKE, you can head north to join the Seletar Expressway or south to reach the PIE and the city.

Introducing Lumina Grand EC, a new executive condominium located in the northwest of Singapore, at the corner of Bukit Batok Road and Bukit Batok West Avenue 5, right across from the new town of Tengah.

Residents will enjoy the amenities of the established Bukit Batok HDB estate and benefit from the new features being developed in Tengah.

The name “Lumina” comes from the Latin word “Lumen,” meaning bright, reflecting its motto “Live Greener, Live Brighter.” This luxury EC is designed with advanced green and smart features.

The developer, CDL Zenith Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of City Developments Limited (CDL), plans to start Preview E-Applications and Sales in January 2024.

CDL is well-known for its quality projects, including several executive condos. Their last project, Copen Grand EC in Tengah, launched in October 2022 and sold out within a month.

This project is located in Bukit Batok HDB town, near its northwest border, very close to the new Tengah estate across Bukit Batok Road.

While the location isn’t very central or convenient, with no MRT stations or large shopping malls within walking distance, there are still nearby amenities. Just across Bukit Batok Road, at the Parc Residences precinct, there is a retail area with shops and food outlets. Another similar area is at the Plantation Village precinct. Additionally, the nearby Le Quest neighborhood mall has a Fairprice supermarket, a food court, shops, and clinics.

If you don’t mind a slightly longer walk, you can reach both Tengah Plantation and Tengah Park MRT stations on the Jurong Region Line on foot. Tengah Plantation station is a bit closer, about a 12 or 13-minute walk in a straight line.

To get there, walk through Parc Residences and follow the park connector that leads to the station. It’s a pleasant walk, with some parts sheltered and others offering greenery.

Alternatively, you can take a short bus ride to Bukit Gombak station on the North-South MRT Line.

One advantage of this location is its easy access to parks and the park connector network. Bukit Batok Hillside Park is just a five-minute walk east of the site. The park connector network also runs right across Bukit Batok Road. The Tengah estate is filled with green corridors, true to its “forest town” name.

A major draw for families with young children is the new Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) on Tengah Park Avenue, within a 1KM radius. This co-ed school is set to open around 2030, shortly after Lumina Grand is completed.

In addition to the new Tengah estate to the northwest, Bukit Batok also borders the Jurong Lake District to the southwest. Both are growing and developing areas.

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) plans to make Tengah an innovative, sustainable “smart” forest town. It will be Singapore’s newest and most advanced estate, integrating native greenery into its design.

A 5km long, 100m wide forest corridor will run through Tengah, creating a biodiverse rainforest habitat with walking trails throughout the community. This will allow residents to enjoy nature and greenery up close.

Tengah is Singapore’s 24th HDB town, announced by the Ministry of National Development (MND) in 2016. Residents of Lumina Grand will benefit from the many new amenities and features this estate will offer.

The Jurong Lake District (JLD) and the nearby Jurong Innovation District (JID) have even more ambitious plans. URA’s vision for JLD is to become Singapore’s largest business hub outside the city center, creating a vibrant environment for work, play, living, and learning, along with tourism attractions in a lakeside park setting.

The Jurong Innovation District (JID) will be an advanced industrial, innovation, and manufacturing hub spanning 600 hectares. It is expected to create 95,000 jobs, increasing demand for housing and manpower.

Growing areas like these often offer better potential for capital appreciation. The Lumina Grand executive condo is well-positioned to benefit from this growth.

Lumina Grand EC Site Plan

The Lumina Grand site is a mid-sized L-shaped land parcel covering 178,937 square feet. It’s located at the corner of Bukit Batok Road and Bukit Batok West Avenue 5, positioned at a slight angle.

The site is mainly surrounded by other high-rise developments, both existing and planned, such as the new HDB flats at West Scape to its northeast.

Across the roads to the northwest and southwest are also HDB areas. Some, like West Edge, are already completed. Others, like Parc Residences, are still under construction, while the plot to the northwest is currently vacant.

One benefit of these high-rises is that they might block some of the afternoon sun from the west. The roads between the buildings also provide space and a bit of privacy.

On the southeast side, there is another executive condominium called Altura, which was launched for sale in August 2023. By September, Altura had sold 60% of its units, which is a positive sign for the upcoming launch of Lumina Grand EC.

The only side that offers a long-term open view is to the south, overlooking a school site across Avenue 5.

Location

The project is situated in Bukit Batok, near the boundary with the new Tengah town, allowing residents to enjoy amenities from both areas.

It is also just north of the Jurong Lake District (JLD) and the Jurong Innovation District (JID).

Schools

Lumina Grand is well-positioned for families with young children, being within 1 KM of several primary schools, including St. Anthony’s Primary School.

The most notable school is Anglo-Chinese (Primary) School, which will move to Tengah Park Avenue around 2030. This new location is also within 1 KM of Lumina Grand and will become co-ed, making it easier for siblings to attend. Other nearby educational institutions include Dulwich College and Millennia Institute.

Shops, Supermarkets, F&B, Banks

The Lumina Grand EC is not within walking distance to any major shopping centers. However, like most HDB estates, there are neighborhood shops and small shopping centers nearby.

Le Quest neighborhood mall is about 500m, or a 7-minute walk away, offering various shops and services, a food court, other F&B outlets, a Fairprice supermarket, and clinics. Across Bukit Batok Road, you can find HDB neighborhood F&B and retail options at Parc Residences and Plantation Village precincts.

Nearest MRT Station

The location is not very close to an MRT station. If you don’t mind a longer but pleasant walk, Tengah Plantation station on the Jurong Region Line is about 12 to 13 minutes away, partly through a park connector.

Alternatively, you can take a bus to the Bukit Gombak MRT station on the North-South line.

Parks & Leisure Options

The area offers quick access to park connectors and parks. Bukit Batok Hillside Park is within a 5-minute walk. Across Bukit Batok Road is Tengah, known as the “forest town” due to its many green corridors and park connectors. One of these connectors runs just opposite the site.

With enhanced green spaces, waterways, and new parks, residents can enjoy nature up close. These green and blue networks will also boost biodiversity in the area.

Accessibility

Lumina Grand has quick access to the island-wide expressway network. The nearest exit to the PIE (Pan-Island Expressway) is less than 3 KM down Bukit Batok Road. Alternatively, a 5 KM drive up Bukit Batok Road and via Bricklands Road leads to the Kranji Expressway.
