The locale of Jalan Anak Bukit has long held a quiet charm for West siders in the know. The desirable enclave looks set to offer new and longtime residents the best of nature with its proximity to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the Rail Corridor, providing a seamless retreat from the urban rush. Ongoing efforts to preserve and enhance the area’s natural attractions, such as the recently revamped Rifle Range Nature Park featuring 7km-long trails and a quarry wetland for wildlife observation, further underscore its commitment to conservation.

The area’s amenities are equally impressive. In the last decade, the vicinity of Bukit Timah Shopping Centre, Beauty World Plaza and Bukit Timah Plaza experienced a revitalisation. This resurgence has attracted a diverse array of restaurants, hawker stalls and shops, fuelled by the opening of Beauty World MRT Station in 2015. Plans are also underway to replace Bukit Timah Food Centre with a new market and hawker centre, as the former relocates to a temporary facility later this year.

The significance of nature’s importance to our well-being has influenced upcoming developments like the highly anticipated The Reserve Residences. Here, nature serves as the cornerstone of the innovative design crafted by acclaimed WOHA Architects.

Inspired by the rich flora of Bukit Timah, the multinational award-winning firm has brought its distinctive urban sophistication to this integrated development by Far East Organization and Sino Group.

This development is uniquely placed to capitalise on the unblocked panoramic views and bespoke amenities – especially for residents living in its premium Treetops Collection, where selected units enjoy 270-degree vistas of Bukit Timah’s verdant greenery. 

ABOVE ALL, EXCLUSIVITY AND ELEGANCE

The Treetops Collection is home to 15 limited-edition four- to five-bedroom units in apartments, duplex and penthouse categories, ranging from 1,561 sq ft to 3,003 sq ft in size. These thoughtfully designed units enjoy the best of both worlds, combining landed home-style features with the breezy seclusion of elevated living.

Residences on the 32^nd floor look out to sweeping views of the surroundings, while also enjoying direct access to rooftop facilities like the canopy deck. Those residing on the 17^th floor benefit from direct access to the sky terrace and its array of dining pavilions – offering an extra level of convenience for entertaining guests outdoors. Meanwhile, residents on the fourth floor can head out from their homes directly to exercise on the 600m jogging trail, or stroll amid the carefully cultivated landscaping. 

Residents living in the Treetops Collection will enjoy a premium level of privacy and convenience with each unit featuring either a private lift or direct carpark access, tailored to suit individual preferences.

Elegantly accented with marble fittings, the premium four- to five-bedroom units provide residents the opportunity to wake up to breathtaking views spanning up to 270 degrees. With ample amounts of private enclosed space, residents can savour the sunrise over breakfast, take a mid-day yoga break or simply relax with a glass of wine while enjoying the evening breeze. 

According to Mr Chan Ee Mun, a director at WOHA Architects and the development’s architect, sunlight and fresh air were central themes in designing The Reserve Residences.

He envisions residents embracing the elevated nature of their homes and opening up their apartments fully: “Big open windows frame long views across the nature reserves, while allowing natural daylight to illuminate its interiors and cool breezes to cross-ventilate.” 

The thoughtful layouts of the Treetops Collection also feature generously-sized bedrooms strategically positioned to ensure maximum privacy. Each home is centred around expansive communal dining and living spaces perfectly suited to entertaining a houseful of guests, or simply spending time together with loved ones. The 3.2m-high ceilings help to further enhance the spaciousness, promoting airflow and instilling a sense of grandeur.

These amenities are just one facet of The Reserve Residences’ remarkable blend of contemporary living and verdant greenery – a harmonious integration of luxury and nature that offers a fresh perspective on modern living.

URBAN AMENITIES IN A GREEN OASIS

At The Reserve Residences, you can choose to enjoy a bird’s eye view of the 163-hectare Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and nearby Bukit Timah Hill – or take a leisurely walk to immerse yourself in the lush greenery up close. When it comes to exploring the forests and natural landmarks, residents are truly spoilt for choice. The Rail Corridor and Rifle Range Nature Park are only a nine minute stroll away, while getting to Hindhede Nature Park takes just a 16-min walk.

Walking or jogging within a natural setting provides benefits beyond mere physical exercise — it can serve as a balm to soothe frazzled nerves, enhancing overall well-being. Studies have shown that exercising in nature can elevate mood, alleviate anxiety and depressive symptoms, and even strengthen cognitive functioning. 

For those who prefer to stay within the comfort of their homes, a retreat to nature is always within reach. Spanning seven storeys of The Reserve Residences are over 70 recreational and social facilities that are thoughtfully designed to foster a connection and harmony with nature. Features like the Hammock Garden, Foliage Garden and Palm Grove provide residents with tranquil spaces to unwind after a long day of work or school. 

This proximity to nature is only one aspect of the integrated development. It also features serviced residences, a transport hub and a retail podium with curated selection of lifestyle, food and beverage options as well as a Cold Storage supermarket for the ultimate in convenience. 

The upcoming 219,600 sq ft Bukit V mall will comprise four storeys of retail and civic spaces, enlivened with green pockets where residents and visitors alike can unwind and reconnect with nature.

Mr Chan highlighted that the envisioned mall is poised to become a new focal point for the neighbourhood and community. “This porous, green-fringe central space is lined with lifestyle, food and beverage amenities, retail shops and services,” he said. “It is designed to host large-scale community events and activities that bring people together.” 

While the development’s exceptional amenities and convenience appeals to many, it is the integration of nature’s beauty that truly elevates the living experience at The Reserve Residences’ premium Treetops Collection to new heights.
