Bukit Sembawang Estates is gearing up for the preview of its highly anticipated Upper Bukit Timah project, 8@BT, set to kick off this Saturday, September 7th. Prices start from a competitive S$2,530 per square foot (psf), making it an attractive option for potential buyers.<\/p>\n
With 158 units in total, 8@BT offers a diverse range of layouts, including a strong mix of one- and two-bedroom units, which make up roughly half of the development. For those looking for cozy spaces, one-bedroom units range from 517 to 592 square feet, while two-bedroom units offer a bit more room at 624 to 829 square feet. Larger families can opt for the spacious three-bedroom units (1,001 to 1,270 sq ft) or four-bedroom layouts (1,356 to 1,593 sq ft). And for those seeking the ultimate luxury, 8@BT also offers two exclusive penthouses, each boasting either 1,356 or 1,593 sq ft of space.<\/p>\n
Nestled in District 21, this 99-year leasehold development spans over 49,633 sq ft of land and will house its units in two sleek 20-storey towers. The land was acquired in 2022 for S$200 million, translating to a land rate of S$1,343 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).<\/p>\n
Lisa Goh, Bukit Sembawang\u2019s general manager for marketing and sales, is confident that 8@BT will attract a diverse range of buyers, from young couples and families to right-sizers. She highlighted the development\u2019s prime location, growth potential, and residential focus as key factors driving demand.<\/p>\n
The location is part of an established residential enclave near Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, providing a serene yet connected living experience. In fact, the area has seen strong interest from buyers. Watten House<\/a> and Pinetree Hill<\/a>, for instance, are also in high demand, demonstrating the appeal of this part of Singapore.<\/p>\n Nearby projects like Far East Organization\u2019s The Reserve Residences<\/a> saw a stellar response earlier this year, selling 520 out of 635 units at launch in May at an average price of S$2,460 psf. The Linq@Beauty World, another project in the vicinity, sold 96 per cent of its units at launch in 2020, with prices ranging between S$2,150 and S$2,200 psf.<\/p>\n Looking at broader market trends, recent suburban launches have performed well too. SingHaiyi\u2019s Sora<\/a> in Jurong and Hong Leong Holdings\u2019 Kassia<\/a> in Tampines both recorded strong initial sales, with median prices around S$2,152 psf and S$2,049 psf, respectively.<\/p>\n As the market picks up after the Chinese Hungry Ghost Month, there\u2019s a surge of new condo launches. Sales booking for 8@BT will begin on September 21, and the project is expected to receive its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) by the fourth quarter of 2027.<\/p>\n If you’re looking for a prestigious home in a well-established neighbourhood, 8@BT offers an exciting opportunity to own a piece of Upper Bukit Timah\u2019s future.<\/p>\n
