TheReserveResidences-Overview

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.

TheReserveResidences-Nature

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).

Developer

The Reserve Residences, an integrated development, is being built by Far East Organization and Sino Group. Both Far East and its lead architect have extensive experience in developing, designing, and managing high-quality mixed-use projects in Singapore and overseas. In addition to the successful Watertown in Punggol, they are currently working on One Holland Village in the heart of Holland Village.

Far East Organization and Sino Group

Far East Organization, along with its Hong Kong-listed sister company Sino Group, is one of Asia’s leading real estate companies. Established in 1960, the group includes development and investment entities across Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Australia, and Malaysia.

They develop, own, and manage properties across various real estate segments, including retail, office, industrial, commercial, residential, healthcare, and hospitality.

As the largest privately held real estate company in Singapore, Far East has significantly contributed to the transformation of the Singapore skyline. They have been involved in over 780 development projects, such as Altez, Skyline @ Orchard Boulevard, River Place, The Cairnhill, The Scotts Tower, Cyan, Silversea, The Sound, and Seawind at East Coast.

In total, they have added over 55,000 residences to Singapore’s housing market, making up about one in every six private homes in the country. Far East Organization is also Singapore’s largest private residential landlord.

The group is dedicated to building homes that enhance the lives of buyers and tenants. This commitment is reflected in their achievement of 11 FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence awards, the highest honor in the global real estate industry.

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.

TheReserveResidences-Connectivity

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.

The Myst Condo

The Myst Condo Featured Image

The-Myst-Condo-overview

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-Condo-rail map

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.

The-Myst-Condo-surround

 

 

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-Myst-Condo-siteplan

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.

The-Myst-Condo-map

 

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.

The LakeGarden Residences

the-lake-garden-residences overview

Welcome to the Preview of the Lake Garden Residence. The LakeGarden Residences is a new condo facing Jurong Lake, set to go on sale in July 2023. It is being developed by Wing Tai Holdings, a well-respected developer in Singapore.

Although it is not within easy walking distance of an MRT station, the condo offers unobstructed panoramic views of Jurong Lake and its gardens, making it an attractive option. Its location near the Jurong Lake District, known as the “CBD of the West,” is also promising. This area is being transformed into Singapore’s largest business center outside of Raffles Place and Marina Bay.

Summary of the Lake Garden condominium’s main attractions:

Located in the Jurong Lake District, which includes Jurong Gateway and the Lakeside Precincts. This area is set to become a major business, leisure, and residential hub, the largest outside the city center. Jurong Gateway will be the commercial heart of Jurong Lake District and the West Region. Covering 70 hectares around Jurong East Station, it will support various businesses and create jobs close to residents. There are plans for up to 500,000 square meters of office space, providing a potential pool of tenants. Additionally, there will be up to 2,800 hotel rooms and 250,000 square meters of retail and entertainment space.

The LakeGarden condo will be well-served by nearby shopping malls, including JEM, JCube, Westgate, and IMM. One of the most appealing aspects of this development is its proximity to Jurong Lake. It is situated almost within the gardens of the lake, offering wide, unobstructed views of the water and greenery. These views are all east-facing, avoiding the harsh afternoon sun that is common in many other places with similar views.

the-lake-garden-residences-aerial view

The architects have made the most of the beautiful views. Nearly 75% of the Lake Garden Residences units face the lake and its gardens. Additionally, Sky Decks and Sky Terraces offer even more expansive panoramic views.

Jurong Lake and its gardens provide more than just scenery. They offer parks to explore and outdoor activities for sports enthusiasts, right at their doorstep. The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is also building a lakeside village across the lake. This large complex will include dining, shopping, entertainment, and hotel options, along with a new world-class Science Centre. Jurong Lake District is being designed as a new tourism hotspot for Singapore.

The site is conveniently close to major expressways like the PIE and AYE, providing easy access across the island to Changi Airport.

It is one of the few private condominiums to achieve GreenMark Platinum SLE. Key features include:

  • Top-performing Green Mark Building with at least 60% energy savings.
  • True cross ventilation in over 60% of the units.
  • Solar panels offsetting 30% of the electricity usage for the clubhouse, function room, pool, and gym.
  • Energy-efficient appliances.
  • Protection and preservation of the natural ecosystem in the immediate surroundings.
  • Bicycle lots and EV car charging stations.

Lake Garden Residences is being developed by Wing Tai Holdings, a leading developer known for its long track record and association with upscale projects.

In 2008, URA revealed a grand master plan to transform Jurong Lake District (JLD) into a new growth area. Covering 360 hectares, about the size of Marina Bay, it will become the largest regional center outside the CBD.

The plan includes two main areas: a commercial hub at Jurong Gateway and a recreational and leisure center at Lakeside.

URA envisions JLD as a vibrant mixed-use business district and a unique lakeside destination for work and leisure, known as the “CBD of the West.” It will have its own residential population and a lively street scene.

The area will feature over 100 hectares of parks, greenery, and open spaces, including the 90-hectare Jurong Lake Gardens, which will blend seamlessly into the surrounding neighborhoods.

JLD is prioritizing public transport, with more land allocated for cyclists, pedestrians, and active mobility users.

The district already has good MRT connectivity with the East-West and North-South lines. The Jurong Region Line and Cross Island Line will be added, to be completed by 2029 and the 2030s, respectively. These new lines will connect people to major business centers and educational hubs in the West and Central regions within 30 minutes.

The Jurong Region Line will link to the Jurong Innovation District, Nanyang Technological University, and Jurong Industrial Estate. The Cross Island Line will connect to developments in the east and northeast, including Changi Airport.

JLD’s infrastructure is designed to support sustainability, reduce energy usage, and create a better living environment. It will also serve as a test bed for the “intensive smart nation initiative.”

By 2040 to 2050, JLD will add 100,000 new jobs and 20,000 new homes, bringing fresh vibrancy to the west.

The west region is home to Singapore’s two top universities, providing a rich talent pool. Nearby are One-north, the Jurong Innovation District, and Tuas Port, making it ideal for supporting high-value and marine industries with cutting-edge R&D and expertise.

Jurong Gateway

the-lake-garden-residences-view

Located around Jurong MRT station, Jurong Gateway is the commercial hub of Jurong Lake District (JLD) and the west region of Singapore. The area around the station currently has office, institution, and retail spaces. By 2029, it will include more office and community spaces, an integrated transport hub, and a new Jurong Region Line station.

Jurong Gateway will become the largest business hub outside the city, offering 500,000 square meters of office space in a lakeside setting. Additional spaces for food and beverage, retail, hotels, and entertainment will meet the diverse needs of businesses and residents, all connected by multi-level linkways.

Jurong Gateway is also close to the International Business Park, industrial estates, and educational and research institutions, making it an ideal location for company headquarters and businesses in the science, technology, and sustainability sectors.

Lakeside

the-lake-garden-residences by the lake

 

Lakeside covers over 220 hectares of land and 70 hectares of water at Jurong Lake, near the Lake Garden Residences.

It is being developed into a major leisure destination with a family-friendly waterfront promenade and park. Jurong Lake Gardens will be Singapore’s first national gardens in the heartlands.

Lakeside Gardens, which opened in April 2019, features water-play and nature-themed areas, sports and recreational facilities, and restored wetlands.

The rest of Jurong Lake Gardens will be completed progressively from 2021. A lakeside village will offer shopping, dining, and boutique hotel stays by the waterfront. A new waterway will also be created to bring the lake closer to Jurong Gateway.

Additionally, a new world-class Science Centre beside Chinese Garden MRT station is set to be completed around 2025. Plans include four or five new edutainment attractions set against the scenic lakeside backdrop.

This location provides privacy, with no other buildings facing it for quite a distance. The site’s layout will take full advantage of these attributes.

Additionally, with only 20% of the site covered by buildings, a large part of the grounds is dedicated to facilities and landscaping.

Developer

The LakeGarden Singapore will be developed by Winville Investment, a subsidiary of Wing Tai Holdings.

Wing Tai Holdings Limited

Wing Tai Holdings Limited (“Wing Tai” or the “Group”) was founded in 1955 in Hong Kong and incorporated in Singapore in August 1963.

Today, Wing Tai Holdings is one of Singapore’s leading real estate developers and lifestyle companies. Listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange since 1989, it is also an investment holding company with assets exceeding SGD$4.5 billion.

The Group focuses on growth markets in Asia. Under the Wing Tai Asia brand, the network includes Wing Tai Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Malaysia), Wing Tai Properties Limited (Hong Kong), Wing Tai China Pte Ltd (China), and Wing Tai Holdings Limited (Singapore). The Group’s core businesses are property development and investment, hospitality management, and lifestyle retail in strategic Asian markets.

Wing Tai’s corporate philosophy aims to achieve win-win partnerships with clients, business partners, and staff. The company values a track record of quality and utilizes expertise for its extensive product portfolio.

Wing Tai’s logo features the evergreen Tembusu tree, known for its sweet-smelling flowers, extensive branches, and deep roots. Its deeply-fissured bark symbolizes tenacity and strength, reflecting Wing Tai’s philosophy and vision of integrity, growth, and resilience.

Location

The LakeGarden condo is located right at the edge of the growing Jurong Lake District. It can be accessed via Yuan Ching Road on the west and directly fronts Jurong Lake to the east. This is a well-established residential area with a mix of HDB and private housing.

It is also close to other key hubs like the Jurong Innovation District and the International Business Park.

Shops, Supermarkets, F&B, Banks

Being in an established housing estate, The LakeGarden location is well-supported by amenities. The main retail cluster around Jurong East MRT station includes Jem, Westgate, and IMM. While these offer a wide range of shopping and dining options, they are not within easy walking distance, so residents will need to take a short ride to reach them.

For daily shopping needs, the nearby HDB neighborhood shops are more convenient. The Taman Jurong Market & Food Centre and Taman Jurong Shopping Centre, a small neighborhood mall, are about a 6 to 7-minute walk across Yuan Ching Road.

Plans are also in place to set up village-like shops and alfresco waterfront cafes within the gardens of Jurong Lake, which will be much closer.

Healthcare

The healthcare cluster serving the west region is a short walk from Jurong East MRT station and Bus Interchange. It includes Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH) and Jurong Community Hospital (JCH). These two hospitals were the first in Singapore to be built together as an integrated hub, enhancing patient care, convenience, and efficiency. JCH provides a suitable recovery environment for patients who no longer need acute care.

Designed with eco-friendly features, the hospitals use solar energy for landscape lighting and hot water supply, and harvested rainwater for watering rooftop gardens. This healthcare hub is also seamlessly linked to surrounding malls, retail shops, and eateries.

Leisure, Recreation, Sports

Jurong Lake Gardens park is practically at the doorstep of residents. This 90-hectare park is Singapore’s newest national garden in the heartlands. Lakeside Garden, its first zone, was revamped and reopened in April 2019 as a refreshing waterside park, winning an Urban Land Institute Asia Pacific Award for Excellence.

The Japanese Garden and Chinese Garden are currently being redeveloped and are expected to open in 2023/2024.

When fully completed, the park will be a green sanctuary for families, featuring a 70-hectare lake with over 10 kilometers of active waterfront amidst greenery. It will offer a variety of water activities, recreational facilities, nature walks, birdwatching, and waterfront play experiences for kids.

Nearest MRT Station

The LakeGarden location is about 1.2 kilometers, or roughly a 15-minute walk, from Lakeside MRT station. Although it might seem far from town, Lakeside station is just 12 stops, or about a 30-minute ride, to Raffles Place.

Lakeside station is on the East-West MRT line, which runs across the island, connecting the west region to Changi Airport in the east and passing by the One-North precinct with its research hubs and science parks.

Accessibility

The LakeGarden Residences location has quick access to the expressway network. It is less than 2 kilometers from the nearest exit to the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) and 3.5 kilometers from the Pan Island Expressway (PIE), allowing for fast travel to the rest of the island. For example, an off-peak drive to Changi Airport can be completed in about half an hour.

Grand Dunman

Grand Dunman Featured Image

Grand-Dunman-OverviewThe Grand Dunman is a new condo on Dunman Road in the Katong-Mountbatten area, launching in July 2023. Its name hints at its large size and prime location.

Located in District 15’s private residential area within the Marine Parade Planning Area of Singapore, it is close to the city center and the business districts of Raffles Place and Marina Bay.

Grand-Dunman-Cityscape

This development is one of the most exciting and appealing sites to hit the market recently. With 1,008 units spread across 7 residential blocks, it offers a wide variety of facilities and extensive landscaped grounds.

Among the latest condo launches, Grand Dunman stands out with the second-largest land area.

Unlike previous years with many huge projects, most of the current launches are smaller. Only three projects now have close to 1,000 units, compared to four years ago when many had between 1,000 to 2,000 units.

A large land area allows for more facilities and spacious landscaped gardens.

Additionally, having many units means a lively resale market in the future, with enough buyers and sellers to keep it active.

However, size is only beneficial with a good location, and Grand Dunman has both.

The project is located on a government land sale (GLS) site at the intersection of Geylang River and Dunman Road. It was once a school site, nestled in a primarily landed estate bordered by Tanjong Katong Road and Mountbatten Road.

Mountbatten, along with the nearby areas of Marine Parade and Katong, are top housing locations. These neighborhoods are some of the most desirable residential areas outside the traditional districts 9, 10, and 11.

Historically, the area has been filled mostly with private homes, including some Good Class Bungalows, giving it a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere, unlike many other parts of the island. Katong’s rich cultural heritage also adds to its charm, preserving much of old Singapore.

As a mature residential estate, it offers established schools and many amenities.

Grand-Dunman-Lifescape

To the west and north of Grand Dunman, Kallang and Paya Lebar are being transformed into lively lifestyle and economic hubs.

This creates a balance between the old and new, blending nostalgia with a vibrant buzz in the surrounding neighborhoods.

The Grand Dunman condo is unique in having unblocked views. It is a high-rise building surrounded by low-rise landed estates on the northeast, east, and south sides.

These landed estates have been zoned this way for a long time and will stay that way. Few places offer such clear views in multiple directions, especially to the southeast, south, and southwest over the Goodman and Wilkinson landed enclave.

With these houses extending far to the east and south, the condo has a very open outlook. From higher floors, there might even be sea views to the south and likely good wind flows and breezes.

Grand-Dunman-Scape

Easy access to public transport is a major advantage here. The Grand Dunman condo is almost next to Dakota MRT station on the Circle Line, with only Geylang River in between.

The Geylang River at this point is about 40 meters wide, so the nearest station exit is less than 100 meters away, just a few minutes’ walk. It’s about as close to a station as you can get without being right on it.

Dakota station is within a 15-minute ride from Marina Bay and Suntec City.

This location also offers quick access to key areas. It’s less than a 15-minute drive to the CBD and 20 minutes to Changi Airport via the East Coast and Marina Coastal expressways.

Several buses run along Dunman Road, with some heading into the city, from a bus stop right in front of the site.

Floor Plans

Grand Dunman Site Plan

Grand Dunman Singapore is a high-rise condo located in a residential area bordered by Dunman, Mountbatten, and Tanjong Katong roads. It sits on a large triangular plot next to Geylang River.

According to the URA Master Plan, the site is designated for residential use with a 3.5 gross plot ratio. The main vehicle entrance is on Dunman Road to the north.

The land across Dunman Road is currently empty but is planned for high-rise residential development in the future.

The west side of the site is next to the park connector along Geylang River, providing a buffer from the high-rise apartments across the river.

Grand-Dunman-Siteplan

Additionally, a strip of land on the south and east sides of the site is reserved as a drainage area, creating a gap between the high-rise blocks and the landed houses on Poole, Wareham, and Crescent roads.

The views to the east and south are the most attractive, and these directions are also the quietest with minimal traffic noise. This is because there is a low-rise estate with landed houses in these areas.

These houses extend all the way to Meyer Road and Marine Parade. Since the residential towers along East Coast are spaced apart, some units might have sea views between them.

The largely unblocked surroundings of the Dunman condo mean that many units could enjoy plenty of wind and natural light.

Location

Grand Dunman condo is situated along Dunman Road, right next to Geylang River, within the Marine Parade Planning area of Singapore. It is nestled between the landed estates of Tanjong Katong and Mountbatten on one side, and the apartment blocks of the Dakota precinct across the river on the other.

Dunman Road is relatively quiet and not very wide, primarily surrounded by private housing, making the area generally peaceful.

Nearest MRT Station

The Grand Dunman location is approximately 100 meters, or a 2-minute walk, from Dakota station on the Circle MRT Line. This line is convenient as it circles the island and connects with every other MRT line, meaning every line is just one transfer away.

Dakota station is close to the city center, about a 15-minute ride (5 stations) from Marina Bay and the financial district, and Esplanade station at Suntec. By 2026, the line will include Prince Edward, Cantonment, and Keppel stations, completing the loop to Harbourfront.

Eateries, Food Centres, Shops, Supermarkets

One MRT stop up the Circle Line is Paya Lebar MRT station, an interchange with the East-West Line. It connects directly to the mixed-use developments of Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ) and Paya Lebar Square, which are part of URA’s masterplan to transform Paya Lebar into a vibrant city precinct and business hub.

In Paya Lebar, you’ll find homes, modern Grade A office towers, retail malls, and supermarkets. The area offers a wide range of shopping, entertainment, and dining options, including parkside dining. Combined, the malls feature over 350 shops and F&B outlets across 430,000 square feet of retail space.

There is plenty of delicious food within walking distance of Grand Dunman. The famous Old Airport Road Food Centre, known for its popular stalls, is about a 7-minute walk away. Nearby, Tanjong Katong Road is a well-known food haven, offering everything from old-time favorites to quaint cafes in historic shophouses.

Grand-Dunman-map

Schools & Educational Institutions

There are two primary schools within 1 km of Grand Dunman. Kong Hwa School on Guillemard Road is a 6-minute walk via the park connector along Geylang River. Tanjong Katong Primary School is also within this radius, but only for blocks on the southeast corner of the site.

Nearby, there are several well-known secondary schools, including Dunman High, Chung Cheng High, Tanjong Katong Girls’, and the Canadian International School (Tanjong Katong Campus). Chung Cheng High and Tanjong Katong Girls’ School are within a 10-minute walk.

Sports & Recreation

One of the highlights of the East Coast area is East Coast Park and Beach. A short drive down Tanjong Katong Road from Grand Dunman leads to East Coast Park Service Road.

Additionally, the Singapore Sports Hub and Kallang Sports Centre are just two stops away on the Circle Line at Stadium station, and can also be reached via the park connector along Geylang River, ideal for runners and cyclists.

Accessibility

East Coast homes are popular for their proximity to the Financial and Central Business District. From Grand Dunman, it’s a 15-minute drive to Raffles Place via Nicoll Highway during off-peak hours.

The expressway network is also easily accessible, with a 2 km drive down Tanjong Katong Road to the ECP (East Coast Parkway). This provides a quick route to Marina Bay, the city center, and beyond.

Heading east, it’s under a 20-minute drive on the ECP to Changi Airport, making this location especially convenient for frequent travelers who also work in the CBD.
