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.
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.
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).
Lisa Goh, Bukit Sembawang’s 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’s prime location, growth potential, and residential focus as key factors driving demand.
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 and Pinetree Hill, for instance, are also in high demand, demonstrating the appeal of this part of Singapore.
Nearby projects like Far East Organization’s The Reserve Residences 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.
Looking at broader market trends, recent suburban launches have performed well too. SingHaiyi’s Sora in Jurong and Hong Leong Holdings’ Kassia in Tampines both recorded strong initial sales, with median prices around S$2,152 psf and S$2,049 psf, respectively.
As the market picks up after the Chinese Hungry Ghost Month, there’s 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.
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’s future.
