Integrated Development at Beauty World MRT Station
Register for Showflat Viewing . By Far East Organisation

Welcome to the launch of the Reserve Residences. The Reserve Residence is the residential component of the newest distinctive mixed-use development, integrated with a transport hub, in Upper Bukit Timah. It is set against the backdrop of Bukit Timah Hill and Reserve, from which it takes its name. The project occupies a very attractive site indeed, beside and directly connected to the Beauty World MRT station.

It is meant to enhance Beauty World as an urban green village, under URA’s rejuvenation plans for the precinct. Besides the transport hub, this landmark project offers homes complemented by retail, F&B, and civic spaces, that add buzz and vibrancy to the neighbourhood.

The Reserve Residences Location Map . Overview

The Reserve Residences will be lushly landscaped, in keeping with, and to add to the overall green-ness of the area. This will make for an appealing living environment in touch with nature. Especially as it is so close to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, the rainforests of the Central Water Catchment area, and Upper Pierce Reservoir.

A pedestrian network will also be built to link the buildings around with the transport nodes and nature parks, for easy walkability.

This stand-out project is being developed by Far East Organisation, and its sister company Sino Group.

Far East comes with a strong track record, and extensive experience, in the residential, retail, and hospitality industry. It is concurrently developing the landmark One Holland Village, a similar integrated development in the heart of Holland Village.

Given its distinct attributes and RCR (Rest of Central Region) zoning, The Reserve Residences is one of the more anticipated launches. Particularly as it sits amidst what is likely to become the main retail / F&B cluster in the whole Bukit Timah.

The Reserve Residences Condo . Selection Criteria

This mixed-use residential cum commercial project is being developed on a Government Land Sale site. The auction for the land was based on a two-stage Concept + Price Tender approach.

The URA adopted this approach to shortlist quality development concepts that are attractive and respond well to the surrounding context. And that has meaningful integration of amenities linked via a seamless network of pedestrian-friendly streets and public spaces.

At the first stage, the Concept Evaluation Committee shortlisted those Concept Proposals that substantially satisfied their evaluation criteria. At the second stage, the site was then awarded to the tenderer with the highest bid among the shortlisted Concept Proposals.

In this case it was to Far East Organization and its sister company, the Hong Kong-listed Sino Group. The partnership actually submitted three different concept proposals, along with the top winning bid of SGD$1.03 billion.

This winning proposal was a design where WOHA, a well-known Singapore architectural firm, was lead architect.

It narrowly beat out the second-highest $1.01 billion bid by Wing Tai Holdings and its partner Mercatus Commercial Trust.

Developers have been bidding aggressively for sites across the island, as they need to replenish depleting land banks. Most of their existing launches have already sold out or are close to doing so. They also expect that housing demand will surge in anticipation of a gradual recovery in the Singapore economy this year.

The Reserve Residences Condo . Design of the Development

According to the URA, the Far East Organization and Sino Group proposal “…demonstrates a well-conceived design strategy in its generously spaced building blocks with a well-considered tropical design.”

Massing Study of The Reserve Residences & Retail Mall

This new residential + commercial complex covers a gross floor area of about 1,039,000 square feet.

219,672 sq ft of that will be in a three-storey + basement shopping mall offering shops, clinics, F&B & supermarket space, and education & childcare services. This is directly connected via a pedestrian underpass to Beauty World MRT station on the Downtown Line.

It is also integrated with the new Beauty World Bus Interchange. Hence it will become a key transport hub for the greater Bukit Timah area.

21,500 square foot will go towards a community space designed as “an intergeneration hub” for children, youth, and seniors. There will be a 19,375 square foot plaza too, that can be used for hosting community and special events.

As the URA had stated, “A central atrium that is located in the heart of the development will be an attractive, naturally ventilated sheltered public space that can accommodate a variety of seasonal programming and community-based events.”

The rest of the space will be used for serviced apartments, and residential units, many of which will enjoy clear panoramic views to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.

According to Far East Organisation, the design of the project is “inspired by the beauty of the site’s surrounding nature, especially the much-loved Bukit Timah Nature Reserve close by.”

They added that, “Our vision is to create a bustling and vibrant urban village nestled within lushly landscaped gardens and spaces. The towers are carefully positioned so that many of the future residents will be able to enjoy panoramic unblocked views of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.”

Furthermore, there will be ‘Forest Gardens’ at the third storey. These will be publicly-accessible communal gardens, that also contribute to the strong presence of greenery visible at street level.

Far East is eminently suited to take on the development and running of this project, given their extensive experience and expertise in mixed-use projects. They aim to create a new landmark mixed-use development in the prime Bukit Timah area.

The Reserve Residences at Bukit Timah . URA’s Master Plan

The Reserve Residences is just one piece of URA’s plans for the redevelopment and rejuvenation of the Beauty World area. But it is also the first large-scale mixed-use launch here in many years.

To the west of the site, above Beauty World station, is another plot that is zoned for mixed use too. When released for sale in future, it is likely to set a new benchmark in value. In synergy with the Reserve Residences at Beauty World, it could turn this location into a bustling and vibrant hub.

In addition, we have a number of rather old shopping centres around the site, that are prime candidates for en-bloc redevelopment. Particularly Bukit Timah Plaza to its east, and Beauty World Centre and Beauty World Plaza to its west.

If and when that happens, it should lift real estate values here, along with the revitalisation of the neighbourhood.

The URA master plan for the area also capitalises on the nature reserves, greenery, and parks that abound here. These will be made more accessible.

The Reserve Residences at Bukit Timah . Near Rail Corridor & Nature Reserves

A “Green Promenade” will be built, running down Upper Bukit Timah Road, and joining the Bukit Timah-Rochor Green Walk. Then there are the Coast-to-Coast Trail, the Rifle Range Nature Park close by, and the Rail Corridor.

Beauty World and the old conserved Bukit Timah Fire Station will become gateways to the nature and heritage sites around here.

The Rail Corridor, along the former railway line, is a “green corridor” transformed into a popular community space.

Along it, some sites like the Bukit Timah Railway Station and Station Master’s Quarters, have been conserved, restored, and re-purposed. The station will serve as both a base for community activities, and a heritage gallery.

The Reserve Residences at Bukit Timah . Locational Attributes

Apart from the above features, there are other notable aspects too. One is the proximity of this zone to the growth centres set out in the URA Master Plan.

The Reserve Residences with Integrated Transport Hub at Bukit Timah Growth Areas

Another is the position of this site at Upper Bukit Timah Road. This Upper Bukit Timah precinct where the Reserve Residences is located, is right across Clementi Road from the upmarket Bukit Timah neighbourhood.

Property over there sell at a premium. Homes at Mayfair Modern and Fourth Avenue Residences were already going at about $1,9xx to $2,4xx PSF a couple of years back.

The overall market has risen a fair bit since then. Added to that is the fact that integrated developments such as this, command a premium in pricing.

Another point of interest is that Bukit Timah Road is known for its education belt. Some of Singapore’s most established schools and tertiary institutes are strung along its length, and a few international schools too.

These are easily accessible to the Reserve Residences residents as well, as they are on the same Downtown MRT line.

The Reserve Condo at Beauty World . About the Neighbourhood

The Reserve Beauty World condo will be a mixed-used high-rise, in keeping with other high-rises fringing Bukit Timah Road.

Further in, away from the main road however, the residential estates become mainly low-rise. They comprise a mix of low-rise condominiums and landed houses along quiet leafy lanes. In between, there are a number of old shophouses housing eateries and small shops.

Homes against Backdrop of Bukit Timah Hill in Singapore

Set against all these is the backdrop of greenery of Bukit Timah Hill Nature Reserve, and Bukit Timah Hill.

This mix of low and high rise, old vs new, greenery, gives the place a good deal of interest and character. It has its own appeal, that draws both young locals, as well as expats.

If you would like to live in such a place, close to nature parks and bits of old Singapore, then Reserve Residence might suit you. Just drop us a line here and we will keep you posted on the launch dates, floor plans, prices, and other details.
