A mixed-use integrated development
The ease and convenience of the mixed-use development that is integrated with the transport hub can’t be overstated, according to Propnex President Ismail Gafoor. In the event that the price of $2,300 per square foot at The Reserve Residences will be an average of 15% over an individual condominium, that’s the price of $2,070 per square foot Gafoor says. “That’s similar to the cost of a brand new suburban apartment located in The Outside Central Region (OCR) currently,” he adds. “But Residences at the Reserve Residences is located on the city’s fringe, as well as the Rest of Central Region (RCR).”

Gafoor anticipates The Reserve Residences to achieve the goal of selling at least “40% to 50%” due to the fact that more than 50% apartments are two- and one-bedders which are sure to draw investors’ attention. “Being an integrated project located within the Bukit Timah region of District 21 is a major draw.”

“The Reserve Residences will be the first development to be a mixed-use project that is integrated with a transportation hub in 2023.” declares Huttons Chief Executive Officer Mark Yip. In Singapore there are just 9 integrated transportation hubs (ITHs). They are defined by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) describes them as air-conditioned bus stations that are connected to MRT stations, and adjacent commercial developments such as shopping malls. Six of them have been completed; three are in the process which includes The Reserve Residences. “Buyers prefer developments that are connected to hubs of integrated transportation for their ease of use as well as their rareness, capital appreciation and rentability” Yip adds Yip.

Although prices for The Reserve Residences may start at $2,300 per square foot however, the range of prices will be quite broad, due to the fact that units are available at the fourth floor and continue to the 32nd floor and the range of types of apartments with different views, according to SRI the managing partner Ken Low.

“Melting Pot from Bukit Timah’
Right across Jalan Jurong Kechil are two additional developments, the freehold 120-unit the Linq @ Beauty World by BBR Holdings and the upcoming 99-year leasehold condominium in Bukit Timah Link, which is owned by Bukit Sembawang Estates.

In November of last year, Bukit Sembawang paid $200 million ($1,343 psf/plot proportion) in exchange for 99 years leasehold 49,633 sq feet site as part of a land tender. The site could yield up to 160 housing units. The project is scheduled to completion before the end of this year.

Based on the fact that the site located at Bukit Timah Link is located in near the Beauty World MRT Station exit SRI’s Low anticipates the developer to market the project as “no less than $2600 per square foot”.

Linq @ Beauty Linq @ Beauty project is renovation of the old Goh & Goh Building by BBR Holdings. It is a mix of residential units, as well as retail and commercial space. It will also be connected via underground with the Beauty World MRT Station. The day of its launch in November 2020 the 115 homes (96%) of the 120 units sold for an average of $2,165 per square foot, based upon caveats filed. The final unit was sold at $2,378 per square foot in December 2021.

In March the 431 square foot one-bedroom apartment at The Linq was sold through a sub-sale of $1.18 million ($2,741 per square foot). The buyer bought the unit at $1.007 million ($2,339 per square foot) and an increase in capital that was 17.2% in just over two years and four months.

The Reserve Residences and these new developments will revitalize the area after completion according to Low. The area could be renewed in the future in the event that the strata-titled owners of older mixed-use developments like Bukit Timah Plaza (completed in the year 1976) or Beauty World Plaza (completed by the year 1982) have success in their collective sales.

The project is scheduled to be completed by 1Q2028 It is expected to be completed by 1Q2028. Reserve Residences is expected to be “the melting pot of The Bukit Timah” says Low. “There aren’t many major shopping malls in the region at present,” he says. “In the near future you’ll get the best of both worldsthat is, a blend of the traditional and the modern.” The new Bukit V will feature more than 220,000 square metres (215,280 square feet) in retail area along with the Cold Storage supermarket, F&B services, educational centers along with medical and health services. Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre, Beauty World Centre (a mall that was built by the government in 1984) and Bukit Timah Plaza will be in walking distance.

Locals to boost demand
Based on the profiles of buyers in new projects launched at both the OCR and RCR in the last three years, it appears that at least 90% of buyers were Singapore residents, according to Eugene Lim, key executive officer and director of market research and intelligence at ERA Realty Network. Lim adds the fact that Singapore permanent residents (PRs) represented the majority of buyers, ranging from 5% up to 7.5% of buyers, foreigners made up a tinier proportion of less than five%.

“We believe that locals will be the primary driver of demand in the Reserve Residences,” says Lim. “Given that the latest cooling measures are primarily affecting foreign investors, it’s unlikely to affect selling for The Reserve Residences.”

The reserve Residences is located within 1km of popular schools like Methodist Girls’ School and Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School. Schools that are highly regarded, such as Raffles Girls’ Primary School, Nanyang Girls’ High School, Hwa Chong Institution, Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), National Junior College and the National University of Singapore are only a short distance away.

“Given it is located near a number of high-quality schools within the Bukit Timah belt area, lots of families will find this project appealing,” says Christine Sun who is the senior vice president of research and analytics at OrangeTee & Tie.

Apart from households, Sun expects units at The Reserve Residences to attract investors interested in the possibility of a long-term rent income. “Such connected developments draw tenants due to the fact that they can travel conveniently to other parts of Singapore because the project is connected to the major transportation hubs such as an MRT station as well as an interchange for buses.”
