Future Direction for Buyers & Investors

The location itself has a lot of advantages because it located right between Goodwood, Newton, and Orchard.

Goodwood

There are many plans to develop larger lands in the Bukit Timah region with a big reserve site – Goodwood Hill. Presently, there are only few landed properties in that area which means that there is potential to develop its surrounding vacant land to fully utilise that piece of land. In this, a potential redevelopment in the future may be possible.

Orchard Road

Adding into view that the Singapore Government planned to rejuvenate Orchard Road into a lifestyle destination, Orchard Road itself has already developed into an area with considerable development and a stable population.

Here at Orchard Road, it is well-known as a retail and dining paradise. New and additional retail, commercial and recreational amenities will definitely boost the attractiveness of living in Paterson and Leonie Hill areas.

Health City Novena

With the upcoming Integrated Medical Hub (HEALTH CITY NOVENA) expected to be complete by 2030, it is forecasted that housing prices in the area will most likely increase.

This development will incorporate a range of hospital and healthcare facilities such as Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Mount Elizabeth Novena and many other healthcare related to create a better healthcare system.

One of the purpose for the HEALTH CITY NOVENA development is to draw medical tourists and businesses across the region to help in growing the population. This in turn helps in growing Newton/Novena as a coveted address.

Once the HEALTH CITY NOVENA is complete, working opportunities are expected to increase, bringing in more population to the area. And once the population increases, the demand for housing in that area will spike.
