Find Your Serenity: Explore the Peaceful Pinetree Hill at Mount Sinai

In a joint venture of 80/20, both UOL and Singapore Land Group (SingLand) submitted a highest bid of S$671,500,800. The contest for Pinetree Hill was tight for what was expected to be the first of two sites to be sold in Pine Grove under the Bukit Timah Planning Area, within the Central Region of Singapore.

The announcement revealed that the joint venture of UOL Group and its subsidiary, Singapore Land Group, submitted the highest bid for the residential land in District 21 – Pinetree Hill, is expected to deliver approximately 520 units over an expansive site area of 242,561sqft.

Pinetree Hill is located along Ulu Pandan Road, an established private residential area that comprises low to medium density condominiums with gross plot ratio of 2.1, where developer can built up to 24 storey height.

Ulu Pandan is an area situated in the central region of Singapore. As a subzone within Bukit Timah, Ulu Pandan is bounded by Ulu Pandan Road, Holland Road and North Buona Vista Road.

Some of Singapore’s earliest condos were built at Ulu Pandan during the 1970s. Ridgewood, a condominium project, on a 18.5-acre site near  the former site of Singapore American School in Ulu Pandan was completed in 1981.

Described as pioneering efforts in condominium housing in Singapore, the project consisted of a mixture of three-storey terraced houses, five-storey terraced apartments, and condo units located in 20-storey and 22-storey high-rise blocks.  Another pioneering condominium project in the area, Pandan Valley, was launched by Development Bank of Singapore (now known as DBS Bank) in 1977.

More than half of the current area of Ulu Pandan are landed housing. These are concentrated in the east of the district, especially around Mount Sinai and the Holland Rd.

While the sites are not particularly close to any MRT stations, we think that given a tracts of land that are affordable and enclaves of relatively well-liked housing, these sites may attract developers, in an environment of dwindling unsold developer inventory. Given comparable parcel sizes, we would expect the sites to attract a similar level of interest.

After all, the area has not seen a lot of residential launches over the past few years, and from an earlier land analysis by OrangeTee & Tie on Pinetree Hill, we noted the location is a quiet, family-friendly area.

Pinetree Hill, is valued as a private residential enclave, and near schools including Henry Park Primary and Pei Tong Primary School.
