When new condominiums launch, developers often prioritize the sales pitch, sometimes overlooking the factors that truly matter to homeowners. In this review of 8@BT, a newly launched condo in the Beauty World and Upper Bukit Timah area, we’ll focus on three key aspects buyers should consider before deciding.
1. Ideal for Families with School-Going Children
8@BT is surrounded by many educational institutions, making it an attractive choice for families. The area boasts proximity to schools like Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore Institute of Management (SIM), and the School of Science and Technology. Families with younger children will also find excellent primary schools nearby, such as Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary and Methodist Girls’ School.
With an estimated completion time of around three years, 8@BT offers a prime location for families planning to settle in an area well-known for its excellent schools. Additionally, for pet owners, the nearby Lorong Kilat, Beauty World Centre, and Bukit Timah Plaza offer veterinarians and pet supply stores for added convenience.
2. More Than Just Beauty World MRT for Accessibility
While the proximity to Beauty World MRT station will certainly be a selling point, it’s important not to overlook the area’s bus connectivity. Directly in front of 8@BT is a bus stop with routes that connect to Bukit Timah and many prestigious schools in the area.
Beauty World Centre, just a short walk away, also offers buses to Bukit Panjang, Bukit Batok, and even the Central Business District (CBD). Bus routes like 77 and 75 can take residents to Orchard and the CBD, while 41 goes to Jurong East and 157 heads to Toa Payoh, offering convenient travel options for all residents.
3. Stunning Views of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and More
One of the key selling points of 8@BT is the stunning views available from its higher floors. North-facing units will enjoy panoramic views of Bukit Timah Hill and the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, offering residents a serene and natural backdrop.
Even the south-facing units, which overlook the Toh Tuck estate, offer unobstructed views, as the nearby buildings are relatively low. Residents on higher floors will even glimpse the lush greenery from Clementi Forest.
Final Thoughts
8@BT offers several strong points that make it a solid choice for both homebuyers and investors. With its proximity to good schools, excellent transport links, and scenic views, this new launch in Beauty World is certainly worth considering—especially given its competitive pricing in a desirable neighborhood.
