Luxury Living New Heart Bukit Timah 1
Bukit Timah, Singapore’s prime residential area, has always been the top choice for the affluent. Both locals and expatriates have flocked to this coveted neighborhood for many years, making it a highly sought-after address.
A key factor contributing to the area’s popularity is its strategic location. Situated in the west of Singapore’s Central region, Bukit Timah is conveniently located near key areas such as the CBD and Orchard Road. Bukit Timah Road, a major thoroughfare spanning 25 km, has also played a significant role in the development of the area, making it easily accessible and desirable.
What sets Bukit Timah apart is the unique lifestyle it offers residents. In addition to the convenience of city living, the neighborhood exudes a charm and tranquility that appeals to the affluent.
As a result, properties in Bukit Timah, including landed houses, Good Class Bungalows, and high-end condominiums, continue to experience high demand. The recent launch of The Reserve Residences, a landmark integrated development in the Beauty World neighborhood, is a testament to this, as it became the top-selling residential project in Singapore last year.
One of the main draws of Bukit Timah is its lush greenery. While much of Singapore has been developed into an urban metropolis, Bukit Timah remains a haven of greenery. It boasts several parks and green spaces, including the 163ha Bukit Timah Nature Reserve – Singapore’s first nature reserve and home to Bukit Timah Hill, the country’s highest natural peak. Adjacent to the nature reserve is the 66ha Rifle Range Nature Park, and a significant portion of the Rail Corridor, a 24km green passage converted from a former railway line, passes through Bukit Timah, including the conserved Bukit Timah Railway Station. Other nearby parks include Bukit Batok Nature Park, Hindhede Nature Park, and the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This abundance of greenery provides Bukit Timah residents with a luxury that is rare in Singapore – a peaceful, green environment that serves as an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. These green spaces also offer a plethora of recreational activities, such as mountain biking, hiking, and bird-watching, making it an ideal location for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Apart from its natural attractions, Bukit Timah also boasts excellent infrastructure and amenities. As a mature neighborhood, it has well-established transport, retail, and F&B options. The neighborhood’s large expatriate community has also contributed to its cosmopolitan vibe, with a variety of upscale cafes, restaurants, and eclectic stores. Popular spots in the area include Choupinette, Acqua e Farina, and Atlas Coffeehouse.
Bukit Timah’s rich history has also resulted in a concentration of distinguished schools in the area, making it an attractive location for families. These renowned institutions, such as Hwa Chong Institution, Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School, and Methodist Girls’ School, are among the best in Singapore. The neighborhood also houses several international schools, including the Swiss School and the Hollandse School.
Over the years, Bukit Timah has experienced significant growth, driven by Singapore’s expanding economy, which has led to the development of this prized estate. The latest phase of this development is the rejuvenation of the iconic Beauty World neighborhood. Located along Upper Bukit Timah Road, the area has been a commercial hub for decades, with landmarks such as Bukit Timah Plaza and Beauty World Centre opening in the 1970s and 1980s. The opening of the Beauty World MRT Station in 2015 and URA’s 2019 Master Plan, which outlined plans for the redevelopment of the neighborhood, have sparked a new wave of growth. This includes the construction of a new Bukit Timah Integrated Development, which will house a community club, market, and food center, and a residential development integrated with the Beauty World MRT Station and a new air-conditioned bus interchange. The Reserve Residences, an integrated development comprising residences, serviced apartments, and a retail mall, will be the crowning jewel of this new heart of Bukit Timah.
In today’s context, luxury living goes beyond lavish homes. The Reserve Residences, designed by award-winning architectural firm WOHA, focuses on enhancing the quality of life for its residents. The residences feature biophilic elements that promote well-being, providing convenient access to facilities and amenities, and incorporating smart solutions to simplify daily life. The apartments also offer spacious layouts and high ceilings, allowing for natural light and beautiful views of the surrounding nature reserves. The premium Treetops collection offers unobstructed views of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Bukit Batok Nature Park.
In essence, The Reserve Residences is a true reflection of what luxury living means today – thoughtful design, functionality, and integration with its surroundings. Combined with Bukit Timah’s unique appeal, it comes as no surprise that it is highly sought-after. With a limited number of units still available, interested buyers can visit The Reserve Residences Sales Gallery at 100A Upper Bukit Timah Road, or call 6534 8000 or WhatsApp 9712 2344 for more information.
The URA Master Plan has set its sights on boosting economic growth and generating employment opportunities through the development of new business districts and the improvement of existing ones. For those residing in Elta Condo, this translates to a promising future with a thriving local economy. With the presence of Elta, the potential for employment and business opportunities within the vicinity is even greater.
