FORETT AT BUKIT TIMAH
Freehold Condominium Launch @ Upper Bukit Timah
Here we present Forett @ Bukit Timah. The Forett condo is a new freehold residential project along Toh Tuck Road within the Upper Bukit Timah area. This is part of the RCR (Rest of Central Region) zone of Singapore.
Bukit Timah is a largely private residential estate, comprising a mix of landed homes and low to mid-rise condominiums. The low-rise character, set against the backdrop of the nature reserves and greenery of Bukit Timah Hill nearby, gives an attractive laid back feel to the neighbourhood.
Unlike most landed housing enclaves however, this one is fairly convenient where amenities are concerned. The nearest entrance of Beauty World station on the Downtown MRT line is roughly 10 minutes walk from Forett @ Bukit Timah.
Around Beauty World are also clustered a number of old shophouses and shopping centres, that are prime candidates for rejuvenation. As well as a market, coffee shops, and an assortment of cafes and shops.
The Forett at Bukit Timah is being built on the land of the former freehold Goodluck Garden, that was sold collectively to the Qingjian Group of Companies.
According to Ian Loh, head of investment & capital markets at Knight Frank, the sale presented a “… rare opportunity to acquire one of the largest freehold, residential redevelopment sites within walking distance of an MRT station.”
The land parcel is slightly elevated, with a frontage of approximately 300 metres onto Toh Tuck Road. The wide expanse of grounds allows for more creative design and landscaping.
In the immediate vicinity, there are in fact two other condominium launches for sale currently as well, View at Kismis and Daintree Residence. But while similar in size, both of these are on 99-year leasehold tenures.
