The Reserve Residences: Developed by an Award-Winning Architect for Unmatched Design and Quality

The Reserve Residences is an integrated mixed-use development that is strategically located in the centre of Beauty World Precinct. The upcoming mixed-use development is located at Jalan Anak Bukit, just 4 minutes’ walk away from Beauty World MRT via an integrated underground link, and a 9-minute walk from The Rail Corridor and Rifle Range Nature Park.

Located on high ground, the mixed-use integrated transport hub would offer unprecedented views towards Bukit Timah Hill, increasing into the visible reference points shaping the skyline profile of its Beauty World precinct.

The Reserve Residences is envisaged to be a distinct and appealing mixed-use development featuring integrated transport hub, which reinforces Beauty World’s identity as a the city’s Green Village, enhanced by superior public transportation connectivity. With an MRT train station located just at doorstep, residents in the immediate future will also be able to easily connect to key destinations across the island through public transport, including Botanic Gardens (4 stations), the Orchard Road commercial hub (7 stations) and One-North (8 stations).

The Reserve Residences will feature lush landscaping, heightening the overall feel of greenery within a “beauty world”, and incorporate a compelling lifestyle setting promoting an active nature-led lifestyle. One of these gardens would be open to the public, facing upper Bukit Timah Road and Jalan Jurong Kechil, contributing to a strong presence of greenery that can be seen at the street level. Given its location on the intersection of Upper Bukit Timah Road and Jalan Jurong Kechil, will incorporate a charming, pleasant entry plaza at the ground floor, as shown on the site plan.

The Reserve Residences is set to become the catalyst for revitalising the Beauty World precinct, bringing vibrancy and improved connectivity into the area. An integrated air-conditioned bus interchange will further ease the commute experience for the community.

Experience Distinctive Living at The Reserve Residences: An Iconic Development that Defines the Bukit Timah Landscape

In order to ensure high quality as well as eminent domain development, URA has called for a dual-envelope tender for the site with bidders required to submit their concept proposals and tender prices in 2 separate packages.

The site is designed to be a distinct and appealing mixed-use development featuring an integrated transportation hub, which will reinforce the identity of Beauty World as a urban village with a verdant environment, featuring great transit connections.

In addition to an integrated transport hub, the site would incorporate complementary uses, such as housing, retail, food & beverages, and other serviced-residence, incorporate significant, connected, public realm accessible for community use. The developer will include landscape replacement areas that are equal in size to the land parcels parcel site area.

Given the context of the site and size of the Land Parcel, The Reserve Residences has an opportunity to explore innovative building typologies with suitable forms and sizes, which will be responsive in sensitive ways to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and adjacent developments.

A seamless, underground connection path for residents and visitors to Beauty World MRT station, and pedestrian-friendly connections to surrounding natural attractions, bus stops, and well-designed public spaces will be a key criteria for an integrated development.

The Reserve Residences strategically located on Jalan Anak Bukit, located within Beauty World and Bukit Timah/Dunearn Road area. This Government Land Sale (GLS) drew heavy bids from some of the biggest developers in Singapore in a two-envelope system.

With completion of Coast-to-Coast Trail, pending completion of the Rail Corridor (check out the map here) and Rifle Range Nature Park, as well as new public and private development projects in the area, public bidding sales will further stimulate rejuvenation in the Beauty World Precinct, bringing vibrancy into the neighbourhood, and improving overall commuting experiences through the convenience of connectivity to Downtown Line and bus services.

The integrated transport hub will comprise a bus interchange for Singapore’s region.  The bus interchange will allow for greater accessibility throughout the island. At 7th Mile on Upper Bukit Timah Road, Singapore’s Beauty World neighbourhood has evolved since then from being the village center for the locals, into a township, where 2 storey blocks of shops lined Cheong Chin Nam Road, Chun Tin Road, and Jalan Jurong Kechil, while taller commercial buildings lined Upper Bukit Timah Road.

An alternative recreation option for nature lovers is now opened.  This includes a freshwater wetland converted from the former quarry, a viewing platform looking out 31 metres up from the wetlands, and over 7km of trails and boardwalks – the longest out of any of the Nature Parks of the Central Nature Park network.

Located along the Rifle Range road, Rifle Range Nature Park opened on November 12, 2022 that is just minutes walk from The Reserve Residences.

In addition to having recreation facilities, the Central Nature Park Network plays a critical buffer role to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the Central Catchment, protecting them from development impacts.

This combination of the two trails makes a wonderful bird-watching walk, a short nature hike that is friendly to kids, or an awesome early-morning run through the beautifully picturesque wetland wonderland.

Visitors get a birds-eye view of the park and the surroundings from Colugo deck – a 31-metre-high observation deck located atop the former quarry, making it one of the highest viewpoints at Singapores nature parks. Once you conquer the trail, you are rewarded with a birds-eye view of both the quarry and the city skyline from Colugo Deck. Traverse Colugo Trail for a scenic overlook of the quarry, taking the challenge or the moderate routes.

The Emergence of Integrated Developments in Singapore: A New Era of Convenience and Connectivity

Living in a mixed-use community offers ultimate convenience, something that owner-occupiers as well as tenants are looking for. Singaporean home seekers are hungry for convenience, which is why an integrated condominium development is a dream come true to many. Mixed-use developments offer buyers added convenience, as well as the ability to live and play under the same roof.

With mixed-use properties, residents enjoy the convenience of having a business space close to where they live. Mixed-use developments are appealing to tenants due to the convenience and affordability they provide. Residential units combined with shopping centres are the most common type of mixed development in Singapore.

Compared with single-use residential properties, Integrated Developments generally provide higher rents and are far better value because of the effects on community and the ecosystem that the Integrated Development has. The Reserve Residences provides both connectivity and good location are hard to come by in land-scarce Singapore. Integrated condominium developments are rare too; every estate will only have, at best, one or two projects that could really qualify as integrated.

With a high demand but low supply for these types of properties, developers are unlikely to construct many more such properties in a single neighbourhood. Any competition for tenants or buyers is likely to be from within the same locale given a lack of comparable alternatives.

We have seen units at those developments be highly sought after by people who can afford them. As Singapore’s connectivity improves over time and a lack of land to develop mixed use integrated developments, we anticipate developers of integrated condominium projects are launched, developers will build a 20% to 25% premium over other private condos in the same area,” says Alice Tan, head of consultancy at Knight Frank Singapore.

With the connectivity provided by integrated developments such as transport node and public spaces, residents of such projects will become less dependent on private transport to get around daily, and the facilities offered in The Reserve Residences are without doubt a first of its kind.

Advantages of Downtown Line for The Reserve Residences

The Downtown Link (DTL) is currently the longest, fully-automated MRT line in Singapore. The Downtown Line connects to the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL), giving passengers even more options for trips across the Singapore MRT Network.

The Downtown Line, which is expected to transport up to 500,000 passengers a day, links East and West of Singapore with the Central Business District (CBD) and the Marina Bay area. The fully underground, 42-kilometre-long, 34-station Downtown Line connects North-West and East regions of Singapore in a loop that traverses downtown. The Downtown Line generally runs east-west, starting at Bukit Panjang on Singapore’s northwest side, and running throughout Singapore’s central district, ending at Tampines and Singapore Expo on its east.

The DTL MRT lines offer more direct access into Singapore, reducing commute times for residents living in Beauty World and Bukit Timah by as much as 30% benefitting residents of The Reserve Residences.
