Bukit Timah Collection Top schools, luxurious homes, lush greenery. Think of Bukit Timah, and these are the images that come to mind. Over the years, this neighbourhood has become one of Singapore’s most exclusive estates, and has come to embody fine lifestyles in Singapore.
With the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA) Master Plan 2019, Bukit Timah is getting a new infusion of green lungs, heritage spots and better connectivity, all of which are set to enhance its enduring allure for generations to come.
Allgreen Properties’ Bukit Timah Collection, a trio of upcoming luxury residential developments in prime District 10, is well poised to capture this. Nestled close to Sixth Avenue are the Fourth Avenue Residences and Royalgreen, while over at the Bukit Timah-Tanglin enclave sits Juniper Hill.
Each of the three properties shines in its own unique way, with all offering a refined lifestyle that balances nature and city, serenity and connectivity, peace and wonder; bridging Bukit Timah’s storied heritage and its vibrant future.
Come home to luxury
The largest development at 476 units is Fourth Avenue Residences, which will offer immaculate, unblocked views of greenery and landed homes surrounding it.
Whether it is your morning swim in the 50-metre lap pool, meditation by the floating garden, or gatherings with family and friends at the relaxation pavilion, Fourth Avenue Residences will become an oasis for you to unwind and rejuvenate. Enjoy also the convenience of the development’s unparalleled direct access to Sixth Avenue MRT on the Downtown Line.
Units range from one-bedroom (484 sq ft) at an affordable price of about $1 million to the largest size four-bedroom units of up to 1,496 sq ft.
A short 5-minute walk from Fourth Avenue Residences is Royalgreen, a freehold, 5-storey development along Bukit Timah Road. Ranging from two to four bedrooms (635 sq ft to 1,475 sq ft), this development is a rare opportunity to own a brand-new freehold home surrounded by the very best Bukit Timah has to offer. It is just a 5-minute walk from the Sixth Avenue MRT.
With 285 homes, Royalgreen offers the right balance between maintaining privacy and boasting ample facilities. From the big green lawn, to the mesmerising poolside dining pavilion, to rooftop recreation options like tennis courts and gourmet pavilions, it is like coming home to a tropical getaway, everyday.
Fourth Avenue Residences and Royalgreen sit right in the middle of Singapore’s renowned education belt: Nanyang Girls’ High School, Hwa Chong Institution, National Junior College, Methodist Girls’ School (Primary and Secondary) and Raffles Girls’ Primary School are all within 1 to 2 km.
THE BUKIT TIMAH TRANSFORMATION
Imagine in the future an elevated skypark right at your doorstep that will lead you by foot or by bike to the well-liked national gardens – Jurong Lake Gardens, Gardens by the Bay and the UNESCO World Heritage site Singapore Botanic Gardens.
For residents at Fourth Avenue Residences and Royalgreen, enjoying the green and community spaces will be an everyday reality. The skypark is the first phase of the 11 km Bukit Timah-Rochor Green Corridor, envisioned to link the country’s three national gardens and in the future, Kallang Riverside Park.
The Bukit Timah-Rochor Green Corridor will also connect to the upcoming Rail Corridor, a 24km continuous green stretch that will link Woodlands in the north to Tanjong Pagar in the south. Once a train line that connected Singapore and the Malay peninsula, it will serve as a green spine enthralling visitors with historic railway structures, wildlife like laced woodpeckers and striped tit-babblers, and colourful flora and fauna. The historic Bukit Timah Railway Station, a key highlight of the Rail Corridor, will be transformed into a heritage gallery and community space.
These developments will not just add colour to your Bukit Timah lifestyle – the rejuvenation stands to raise property values in the area as well.
A CONNECTING SANCTUARY TO NATURE & CONVENIENCE
Close by the Botanic Gardens, one of the touchpoints of the Bukit Timah-Rochor Green Corridor, is the 115-unit Juniper Hill, – a member of the Bukit Timah Collection that offers a taste of uptown living, amid tranquil settings.
Located on higher ground on Ewe Boon Road, this freehold development is just a 5-minute drive from Orchard Road, and a 10-minute walk from Stevens MRT, soon to become an interchange for the Downtown and Thomson East Coast Lines. Getting to work at the Marina Bay Financial Centre has never been so convenient.
Within 1 km of Juniper Hill are Anglo-Chinese School (Barker and Primary), St Joseph’s Institution and Singapore Chinese Girls’ School.
Residents of Juniper Hill will enjoy world class hospitality, with an in-house concierge and additional services from the renowned Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore, such as delivery of fresh bakes, laundry services, and assistance with hotel room bookings and dining reservations.
This boutique development is designed with different levels of landscaped facilities. Residents can enjoy quiet moments at the spa sanctuary at the lower landscaped deck, swim a few laps in the 50-metre lap pool at the upper landscape or stargaze from the sky lounge. Otherwise, have a game of tennis with your friends and family.
Have your choice of two-bedroom units (from 592 sq ft) to five-bedroom units as large as 2,217 sq ft.
THE POTENTIAL UPSIDE OF BUKIT TIMAH
Each time you venture out from home, you’ll be reminded of the unrivaled benefits of living in Bukit Timah.
More convenience is coming to the Bukit Timah Collection properties. An upcoming Integrated Transport Hub next to Beauty World MRT station will inject vibrancy into the Bukit Timah area and enhance the overall commuting experience for residents. A possible future interchange with Phase 2 of the Cross Island Line will greatly reduce travel times and improve connectivity.
From Fourth Avenue Residences and Royalgreen, you are directly connected to Marina Bay and CBD via Downtown Line due to the developments’ proximity to Sixth Avenue and Stevens MRT stations.
