Who are the Developers of Terra Hill?

The developers of Terra Hill are Hoi Hup Realty and Sunway Developments. These two developers have jointly built many quality residences, such as Ki Residences, Rivercove Residence, Parc Canberra, and Parc Central Residence.

Hoi Hup Realty – This is one of Singapore’s leading niche property developers, dedicated to creating living spaces of the highest quality, comfort, practicality, and style. Over the years, it has won numerous industry accolades, including the BCI Asia Top 10 Developers Award from 2017 to 2019, and the BCA Quality Excellence Award – Quality Champion (Platinum) in 2018 and 2019.

Sunway Developments – A subsidiary of Sunway Property, which is a leading property-construction group listed on the Malaysian stock exchange. It has years of experience in managing and developing innovative and quality residential and non-residential properties, including retail, leisure, healthcare, hospitality, and commercial assets across Malaysia, China, India, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Singapore.

What is the Price of Terra Hill Condominium?

Below is the indicative pricing for Terra Hill condominium.

During the launch sale on February 25, 102 residential units (about 37.78%) were sold at an average price of S$2,650 per square foot.

This was lower than the 70% to 85% sales volume achieved during new project launches last year, as a series of new developments were about to launch, such as The Botany at Dairy Farm, Lentor Hills Residences, Blossoms By The Park, Tembusu Grand, The Continuum, and Grand Dunman.

Terra Hill, built on the former site of Flynn Park, was sold en bloc to Hoi Hup Realty and Sunway Developments for S$371 million.

With a land area of 208,443 sqft and a plot ratio of 1.4, Terra Hill’s land rate per plot ratio is approximately S$1,355 per square foot. However, after factoring in the 7% bonus balcony area, the land cost is about S$1,318 per square foot.

Where is Terra Hill Condominium Located?

Terra Hill is located on Yew Siang Road, a small lane off Pasir Panjang Road. The condominium is backed by Kent Ridge Park and faces Pasir Panjang MRT station and Food Centre, which are just 350 meters away.

Next to the Food Centre is the Pasir Panjang Linear Park, which stretches from Labrador Nature Park to West Coast Park, running along the coastline of the Greater Southern Waterfront.

Tucked away at the end of Yew Siang Road, the area is surrounded mostly by landed houses and low-rise private residences, resulting in low traffic flow. Therefore, residents can enjoy a quiet and private living environment.

Just 2-3 bus stops from Terra Hill are Mapletree Business City, the Pasir Panjang Power District (to be transformed into a lifestyle hub), and Alexandra Retail Centre (ARC).

Terra Hill’s Green and Serene Living Environment

Terra Hill is built on a rare hillside plot at the foot of Kent Ridge Park. Kent Ridge Park is a segment of the 10-kilometer-long Southern Ridges, which also encompasses Hort Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, Labrador Nature Reserve, and Mount Faber Park.

The Southern Ridges are home to a variety of flora and fauna, offering panoramic views of the city, harbor, and southern islands.

One of the highlights of the Southern Ridges is the Canopy Walk, a 280-meter-long elevated boardwalk that cuts through secondary forest, providing beautiful views of the surrounding environment and the sea.

There is a small path near Terra Hill that leads directly there.

Located in a low-density residential area surrounded by greenery, residents of Terra Hill can enjoy plenty of fresh air and even sea breezes from the nearby southern coastline. Terra Hill will create a sanctuary for your well-being, allowing you to escape the stresses of modern life and rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul.

Labrador Nature Reserve

Labrador Nature Park is currently undergoing expansion plans to further enhance the ecological connectivity between Labrador Nature Reserve and the surrounding green areas.

In addition to the existing Labrador Nature Reserve (part of the Southern Ridges) and the expanding Pasir Panjang Linear Park (see image), four new nature parks are planned.

These parks will be interconnected via Park Connectors, providing residents with a greener, more enjoyable, and healthier living environment. The four nature parks are:

1. King’s Dock Park, scheduled for completion in 2024
2. Alexandra Nature Park, to be completed around 2025
3. Berlayer Creek Nature Park
4. A park on the former site of Keppel Club

The latter two parks will be developed in sync with new housing projects starting in 2025.

Terra Hill’s Convenient City-Fringe Location

Terra Hill is a city-fringe development located near many commercial, research, educational, and major employment hubs.

For instance, it is just a 14-minute drive to the Central Business District and Orchard Road. Even closer are One North, the National University of Singapore (NUS) and National University Hospital (NUH) (9-minute drive), Singapore Science Park (9-minute drive), Alexandra Technopark (3-minute drive), and Mapletree Business City (2-minute drive).

These major employment hubs are home to many internationally renowned banks, such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, CitiGroup, and HSBC, as well as multinational corporations like Google, Microsoft, Samsung, Cisco, Unilever, Sennheiser, Hewlett Packard, and Hitachi.

Meanwhile, a new commercial development is being built below the Pasir Panjang sub-power station, near Labrador MRT station. Named Labrador Tower, this project will feature a Grade A office tower and a two-story podium with integrated retail and F&B, spanning approximately 670,000 sqft.

Scheduled for completion in 2024 and just one MRT stop from Pasir Panjang MRT, this project will bring vibrancy to the area and is part of the Greater Southern Waterfront transformation.

Many of these locations are interconnected by convenient MRT access (more details below). With such an excellent transport network, Terra Hill is attractive to those working in these areas, as well as those who find properties in the city center too expensive.

Terra Hill’s Excellent Transport Network

Terra Hill condominium is just 350 meters from Pasir Panjang MRT station on the Circle Line. It provides direct access to One North, the National University of Singapore, and the National University Hospital, which are only 2 to 3 stops away.

Three stops in the opposite direction is HarbourFront MRT station, where VivoCity is located. VivoCity is Singapore’s largest shopping mall, where visitors can enjoy a waterfront shopping experience as well as dining and leisure activities.

Across the water is Sentosa, accessible by walking across the boardwalk, or by taking the monorail or a bus.

MRT Interchanges – Terra Hill is 4 stops from the Buona Vista MRT interchange (Circle and East-West Lines) and 3 stops from the HarbourFront MRT interchange (Circle and North-East Lines).

By 2025, when the full Circle Line is completed with the addition of Keppel, Cantonment Road, and Prince Edward stations, residents will have direct access to the Marina Bay interchange (Circle and North-South Lines). One stop further is the Bayfront interchange (Circle and Downtown Lines).

With so many interchanges within easy reach, residents will be able to travel to almost any part of Singapore with great convenience.

Terra Hill: Public Buses and Expressways

Along Pasir Panjang Road, several bus services (10, 30, 51, 143, and 175) provide direct access to places like Tanjong Pagar, Raffles Place, Orchard Road, Singapore General Hospital, Chinatown, City Hall, and Bugis.

Bus 175, traveling in the opposite direction, terminates at Clementi Central, a vibrant town center with two shopping malls: The Clementi Mall and 321 Clementi.

This further enhances the public transport network, offering more travel options. Residents will find it very convenient to get around even without a car.

For those who drive, the West Coast Highway, Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE), and Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) can be reached within 4-10 minutes.

Shopping Malls and Amenities Near Terra Hill

The nearest shopping mall is Alexandra Retail Centre (ARC), just three bus stops from Terra Hill. Although not large, it houses several popular restaurants such as Ichiban Sushi, SBCD Korean Tofu House, and Canton Paradise, as well as fast-food outlets like McDonald’s, Burger King, and KFC.

It also has a Unity pharmacy, a FairPrice supermarket, Cristofori Music School, and a childcare center.

Other shopping malls a bit further away include:

VivoCity – Singapore’s largest shopping mall is just 3 MRT stops away, with a net lettable area of 1,077,382 sqft, consisting of a three-storey shopping center and two basement levels. VivoCity is an integrated entertainment hub for families, tourists, and fashionistas, offering a unique waterfront shopping, dining, and leisure experience.

Harbourfront Centre – A thriving mixed-use development comprising offices, retail shops, F&B outlets, and an international cruise terminal. With access to VivoCity via the nearby HarbourFront MRT, you can enjoy one-stop leisure and shopping.

Queensway Shopping Centre – One of Singapore’s most popular destinations for sportswear, sports equipment, and many other sports-related goods.

Anchorpoint – A small two-storey shopping centre along Alexandra Road, known for its numerous factory outlet stores, including Billabong, Charles & Keith, Cotton On, and D&C. It also has popular F&B outlets like Fish Mart Sakuraya, Jack’s Place, TCC, and Xin Wang Hong Kong Café. Additionally, there is a Koufu food court and a Cold Storage supermarket.

IKEA Alexandra – The renowned Swedish furniture brand that sells a wide variety of affordable and well-designed home furnishings. It’s also a popular spot for value-for-money food, especially its delicious Swedish meatballs.

The Star Vista – Located four stops from Terra Hill, next to Buona Vista MRT station. Besides being a retail mall, it also serves as a civic and cultural center (The Star Performing Arts Centre). It has shops, restaurants, and a Cold Storage supermarket to cater to the needs of nearby residents, students, and workers.

Viva Vista and Icon @ Pasir Panjang – These two small mixed-use developments are located next to each other at the junction of Pasir Panjang Road and South Buona Vista Road. They host several small shops and F&B outlets, including a pub, a few restaurants, a pet shop, a fruit store, and a grocery store.

In addition to the shopping malls mentioned above, major shopping and lifestyle hubs like Orchard Road, Marina Bay, Chinatown, City Hall, Bugis, and Jurong East are easily accessible by public transport.

Other Amenities Near Terra Hill

For grocery shopping, residents don’t need to go far. They can visit the HAO mart in the basement of Bijou, a 120-unit mixed-use development located at the entrance of Yew Siang Road.

Residents can also head to the Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre, Singapore’s main supply and distribution hub for fruits, vegetables, and dried goods. It is just six bus stops away.

Even for those who don’t cook, a wide variety of food can be found at the Pasir Panjang Food Centre, cafes, and small eateries along the main road.

Leisure and Entertainment Attractions Near Terra Hill

Pasir Panjang not only boasts a leisurely and serene natural environment but has also created many interesting entertainment and leisure attractions that are truly eye-catching. Most importantly, these places are all near Terra Hill, making this condominium highly attractive for both own-stay and investment purposes. The leisure and entertainment attractions include:

Sentosa and Downtown South – Sentosa, Singapore’s premier lifestyle and leisure destination, is located opposite VivoCity, just 3 MRT stops away. Besides Universal Studios, the island has many other entertainment and leisure venues, including Adventure Cove Waterpark, Nestopia, Mega Adventure Park, Hydrodash Floating Aqua Park, iFly, Madam Tussauds, and many other attractions.

Meanwhile, Singapore plans to transform Sentosa into Asia’s premier “playground” over the next two to three decades. Under the Sentosa-Brani Master Plan, Sentosa and Pulau Brani will be completely redeveloped into a “new leisure and tourism destination.”

Pulau Brani, currently a port terminal, will be relocated to the new Tuas port by 2027. The vacated site will be transformed into a theme park called Downtown South. This is also part of the master plan to develop the Greater Southern Waterfront, which will inject significant vibrancy into the surrounding areas.

Reflections at Bukit Chandu – This war memorial, located almost next door to Terra Hill, commemorates the Battle of Pasir Panjang during the Japanese invasion in World War II. Housed in a 1930s art deco bungalow, the memorial honors the heroic resistance of the Malay Regiment against the Japanese forces.

Pasir Panjang Power District – Located on the southern coastline, it supplied power for Singapore’s industrialization in the early post-war years. The power station ceased operations in the 1980s and was gradually decommissioned. To rejuvenate this tranquil waterfront area, planners intend to transform it into a multi-purpose lifestyle venue, offering a rich variety of experiences and activities for residents and visitors.

Gillman Barracks – One of Singapore’s modern art hubs, it will undergo renovation to become an arts center focused on sustainable lifestyles. A five-stop bus ride away, you can find several pet-friendly cafes and live music bars, a new family playground, and many other attractions, providing a diverse range of options for tourists and local residents.

Haw Par Villa – Located next to Haw Par Villa MRT station, just one stop away, it is a Chinese-themed park with sculptures and large dioramas depicting scenes from Chinese mythology, folklore, and literature, such as “Journey to the West” and “Water Margin.”

Its most famous attraction is probably the Ten Courts of Hell, which depicts the gruesome punishments sinners receive after death.

It is slightly disappointing that there is only one primary school within a 1-2 km radius of the condominium, which is Blangah Rise Primary School.

However, there are many school options a little further away.

• Radin Mas Primary School
• Fairfield Methodist School (Primary)

Conclusion—An Investment Perspective

With its green, tranquil living environment, convenient and comprehensive public transport network, and the rare experience of hillside living, Terra Hill is sure to attract a lot of attention from both homebuyers and investors.

Furthermore, its proximity to major employment areas and educational institutions creates an ideal space that integrates living, working, playing, and learning.

Surprisingly, however, Pasir Panjang remains relatively low-profile among other Rest of Central Region (RCR) properties in District 15, such as Mountbatten, Katong, and Marine Parade. This may be due to the lack of large-scale new property launches in recent years, with the exception of Kent Ridge Hill Residences (498 condo units + 50 strata landed units) launched in November 2018.

Consequently, property prices are also lower, which will attract more investor attention as the development of the Greater Southern Waterfront gains momentum.

Additionally, Pasir Panjang is predominantly characterized by small to medium-sized residential projects. Therefore, Terra Hill, with its 271 units, is expected to make a significant splash.

Relocation of Pasir Panjang Terminals

The Pasir Panjang Terminals are expected to be relocated to the new Tuas port by 2040, freeing up a large expanse of land for a new waterfront district that will support a variety of developments, including residential, commercial, cultural, and entertainment uses.

These developments, located just 500 meters from Terra Hill, will bring new life and vitality to the area. At the same time, this initiative will help stabilize or even increase housing prices.

Although 2040 may seem distant, property prices are expected to receive a positive boost during the preparatory period. For those with long-term investment plans, investing in Terra Hill will offer a first-mover advantage.

Property Price Trends in District 5

But how have properties in District 5 performed so far? Let’s look at the following three developments:

• The Maylea – An 88-unit condominium on Pasir Panjang Road
• The Stellar – A 162-unit condominium on West Coast Road
• Kent Ridge Hill Residences – A development of 498 condo units + 50 strata landed houses on South Buona Vista Road

The Maylea and The Stellar are freehold condominiums launched in September 2005, while Kent Ridge Hill Residences is a 99-year leasehold residential project launched in November 2018.

The chart above shows that since its launch, the average price of The Stellar (+143%) has outperformed The Maylea (+137%).

It is noteworthy that larger developments like The Stellar, although farther from the MRT station, seem to have greater investment potential.

In comparison, Terra Hill is not only a larger development but also very close to the MRT station, suggesting its investment potential is even more significant.

Next, let’s look at the trend for Kent Ridge Hill Residences. Despite being further from Pasir Panjang MRT (a 9-minute walk compared to Terra Hill’s 4-minute walk), its average price has increased by 14.3% since its launch in November 2018.

Considering it is a new development still under construction, its performance is quite respectable.

This condominium is now fully sold out, which is a testament to its favorable location and strong investment potential amidst the transformation of the Greater Southern Waterfront.

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, other Rest of Central Region (RCR) condominiums in District 15 are expected to launch at higher prices.

Therefore, those looking to invest in property should pay close attention to Terra Hill. If you would like the latest project information and pricing, please contact us via WhatsApp or WeChat.
