Linq at Beauty World is an upcoming mixed residential cum commerical development that is located in boundary of between Upper Bukit Timah and the prime Bukit Timah area, West Region of the island. It is considered one of the most exclusive residential areas in Singapore. The site of Linq at Beauty World sits along Upper Bukit Timah Road and is bounded by Jalan Jurong Kechil.
Its site was previously resided by Goh & Goh Building, a 4 storeys high building that encompassed of 7 shop units and 7 apartments unit. The land parcel was successfully acquired by Alika Properties Pte Ltd which was a subsidiary of BBR Holdings (S) during a collective sale attempt in 2017. Linq at Beauty World has a total plot size approximately of 30,874 square feet with a plot ratio of 3.0. This is one of the rare freehold sites that is located in this prime residential area.
Other developments that are near to Linq at Beauty World include The Creek at Bukit, High Oak Condominium, Terrene at Bukit Timah, KAP Residences, Meadow Lodge, Tranquilla @ Kismis, Goodluck Gardon, Signature Park and The Hillford.
This upcoming freehold development will have its commercial spaces at its ground level with residential component atop of it. Although this development is not a huge one but it does have many appealing factors that home buyers and real estate investors will be looking for.
For a start, this development has one of the most convenient locations that are among all the new development launches in the Hillview/Upper Bukit Timah estate. It is strategically situated next to a MRT Station.
The development is also opposite to the adjoining Beauty World Centre and the Beauty World Plaza. Although these 2 shopping malls are not new and modern as well as not the ones that have the best appealing outlooks, they are considered as top potentials for redevelopment for the Upper Bukit Timah area. Together with the neighbourhood’s upcoming plans for rejuvenation, it will likely to uplift the values of the properties in the vicinity when that happens.
At the meantime, there is the Bukit Timah Plaza which is approximately 6 minutes of walking away together with the wet market, food centre and also the F&B outlets that is just across the road.
And on top of those, looking at the recent new project launches in the area which spans from the nearby Clementi Road up to the Hillview area, Linq at Beauty World is one of the 2 developments that have land tenure of freehold status. The other one will be Mont Botanik which is located along Jalan Remaja and is not as near to the MRT station as this development.
The nearest freehold new launch located in the Bukit Timah stretch that is comparable will probably be Royalgreen which is close to the Sixth Avenue MRT Station. As compared to Linq at Beauty World condo, Royalgreen belongs to a different level of price range so Linq @ Beauty World will probably be less tedious on its affordability.
The development is also near to the Bukit Timah Natural Reserve which is a huge portion of expansive green spaces that stretch from the Water Catchment area in the Central of the island which will include the MacRitchie Reservoir and the Upper Pierce Reservoir.
There are some interesting plans that are unveiled by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) of Singapore that are in stored for the area of Beauty World where the development is.
On the west direction of the development that is across the Upper Bukit Timah Road will be the site of the MRT station which is an underground one. The land parcel atop of the MRT station has still not been developed at the moment.
In accordance with the Master Plan from URA, this parcel of land has been zoned for mixed use development in the future. This will likely to be attracting quite a number of biddings from the developers when it is released for sale by the URA.
This is especially true as there is no any major new launch for commercial use in this area for a long time. Therefore, Linq at Beauty World, together with this land parcel, will bring more new vibrancy for the Beauty World area.
Another noteworthy major development that is up and coming will be the integrated transportation hub that is located across the Jalan Jurong Kechil.
The land parcels that are released by the URA will be the most at 99 years leases. With its freehold status, it will give the Linq condo an edge over the others in the neighbourhood.
There are also plans that are drawn up by the URA to capitalize on the nature reserves, the parks and the green spaces around to bring them all closer to each other. One of it will be the planned “Green Promenade” which will start running down from the Upper Bukit Timah Road and stretches all the way to the Rochor-Bukit Timah Green Walk.
The close by Rifle Range Natural Park, the Coast-to-Coast Trail as well as the Rail Corridor which will be spurring the rejuvenation of the Beauty World area as well as the nearby old Bukit Timah Fire Station which is under conservation will be serving as gateways to the nature and heritage sites in the surrounding.
The Rail Corridor, which is located along the stretch of the former KTM railway, will be transforming into a “green corridor” which will also comprise of community spaces and is scheduled for completion in 2021.
Certain parts of the Rail Corridor, like the Bukit Timah Rail Station and the Station Master Quarter, will be repurposed, restored and conserves for their rich heritage values. For example, the railway station will be served as a base for communal activities as well as heritage gallery. There is also planning to include more green landscapes to offer the visitors of the Rail Corridor, the nature reserves and parks pleasant walks.
Other that the above, the area also have other attributes that are worthy to note. One of them will be the proximity of the area to the growth centres that are identified by the URA under their Master Plan recently.
Another appealing factor is the address of this freehold development. This portion of the Upper Bukit Timah area, where Linq at Beauty World is situated, is just right across the Clementi Road after the premium Bukit Timah neighbourhood, with its pricing corresponding to.
Over at the Bukit Timah district, the new freehold launch, Royalgreen, is priced from $2,6xx per square foot onwards. Even for those new launches that are of 99 years tenures such as the Mayfair Modern and the Fourth Avenue Residences are priced between $1,9xx and $2,4xx per square foot.
Yet with just short proximity away, the new project launches that are situated on the Clementi Road side are considerably priced lower. Developments such as View at Kismis and Daintree Residence, which both are of 99 years tenure, are pricing between $1,4xx and $1,7xx per square foot.
The Bukit Timah district is also well known for the educational belt is home to some of the most well-established local educational institutions, tertiary centres as well as international education amenities. These education institutes can be easily accessed via the same MRT line that is serving the Linq at Beauty World which is advantageous to school-going children staying in the development. With all these elements especially the closeness to the MRT station had attracted the developer to bid for this land parcel.
The development will be a high rising one together with those others that enveloping the Bukit Timah Road. However, the neighbourhood surrounding it comprises mainly of low-rise estates that has a blend of leafy quiet landed residential estates as well as condominium that are of low-rise. There are also many eateries as well as coffeeshops that dot around the roads nearby.
Against all those will be the setting of the nature reserves and greenery that is in the north eastern direction of the development. The Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is one of the few primary rainforests patches that are remaining in Singapore. Those units in the higher floor are likely to be able to enjoy the views of this nature reserve and also the Bukit Timah Hill.
The diversity provides this area with a big deal of interest and character which the locality will be nothing near to monotonous. This gives the area its own appealing factor not just to locals but as well as expats.
