If you’re looking for a condo in the Tanglin/Bukit Timah area, you’re in luck. Three freehold condos have had their TOP in the early part of this year, which means you can move in as soon as you’ve paid your down payment. They are The Hyde and Sloane Residences on Balmoral Road, and Juniper Hill on Ewe Boon Road.
The Hyde
Sloane Residences
Juniper Hill
Located in the outskirts of Orchard Road, all three developments are within 1 km (about 10 minutes’ walk) to the Stevens MRT station (Downtown blue line) and Newton MRT station (North-South red line).
For those of you who drive, the CTE, PIE, Bukit Timah Road, Stevens Road, and Orchard Road are all nearby and easily accessible.
From kindergartens right up to secondary schools, there are also many educational institutions in the vicinity of the three developments, so parents with school-going children needn’t worry that their kids’ education will be disrupted in any way.
Among the three projects, The Hyde has the biggest land area at 66,951 sq ft. If your unit happens to face Goodwood Hill, you will enjoy green vistas and views of landed properties from your balcony. Sloane Residence, on the other hand, is the project with the smallest land area at only 55,638 sq ft. However, Sloane Residence is the closest among the three to the nearest shopping mall in that area, which is Balmoral Plaza.
Unit distribution
All three developments are 12 storeys in height. Among the three, Sloane Residences is the least densely populated as there are only 52 units spread across two blocks. The Hyde and Juniper Hill have a total of 117 and 115 units respectively occupying one block each.
