Altura

Altura EC is a newly launched executive condominium (EC) located at Bukit Batok West Avenue 8 in District 23 (D23). Altura EC enjoys a unique location nestled between the Bukit Batok heartlands, the Jurong Urban region, and the upcoming Tengah Forest town. Following the launch of The Dew which received its Temporary Occupation Permit in 2003, this is the first EC launched in Bukit Batok in two decades, so this 99 years leasehold project is expected to bode well with home seekers who enjoy living in the West.The nearest MRT station to Altura EC is Bukit Batok MRT (NS2) on the North-South line (NSL) which is an approximate six minutes' drive away. A one station ride to Jurong East Station (NS1/EW24) gives residents access to the East-West line (EWL) along with a host of amenities and malls such as JEM and Westgate. The completion of the Jurong Regional Line (JRL) will further enhance the transportation options available for residents. Come 2030, Tengah Plantation MRT (JE1) will be the closest MRT station to Altura EC. Residents looking to clock their daily step counts can take a 15 minutes' walk to the station.While some may argue that Altura EC may not be closely connected to other parts of Singapore, its close proximity to the Jurong Lake District (JLD) may be well-received by those who frequent the West and the Jurong precinct. A short ten minutes' drive will take prospective residents to the JLD.For those who favour green spaces, the Bukit Batok Hillside Park is also within close distance to the development.Altura EC is a 15 minutes' walk or a four minutes' bus ride away from the Bukit Batok Bus Interchange that is conveniently integrated with the Bukit Batok MRT (NS2) station. With a total of 11 bus routes serving the Bukit Batok Bus Interchange, residents can easily travel to other parts of Singapore. Altura EC is also approximately 1.8km away from the upcoming Tengah Plantation MRT (JE1) on the JRL. Set to launch in stages between 2027 to 2029, the JRL will boost accessibility of places in the further ends of Jurong such as NTU and Jurong Hill. Just one train station away from Bukit Batok MRT, the Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) will facilitate seamless connection between the EWL, the NSL, and the JRL.For drivers, the condo is five minutes' drive to the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) so residents enjoy enhanced connectivity to the central and eastern regions of Singapore. The city centre is just a 20 minutes' drive away via the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) while major business districts like the Jurong Lake District (JLD) and the Jurong Innovation District (JID) are about a 10 minutes' drive away.

All three blocks are designed to face different directions so buyers enjoy wider options when it comes to selecting their desired views. Prospective buyers get to pick between views of neighbouring residential projects or of the future Bukit View Primary School.Buyers who require larger living spaces can consider units with study corners or flexi rooms.Given the strategic position on the fringe of Tengah, future residents will also get to enjoy the exciting developments planned for the area.Moreover, the completion of the JRL slated in 2029 will further enhance the connectivity of residents to the JLD. Complementing the existing EWL and NSL, the new JRL will further increase accessibility to the rest of Singapore so residents can get to major business centres and education hubs.Altura EC will also be close to the upcoming Jurong Innovation District (JID) and Jurong Lake District (JLD), which are massive projects set to transform the western region of Singapore.Qingjian Realty and Santarli Construction won the Altura EC site with a bid price of $266 million, which works out to $661.67 per sq ft per plot ratio (psf ppr). As the only EC launched in 2023, Altura EC sold 61.1% of units on launch day and now has a take-up rate of 87.5%. Altura EC's popularity can likely be attributed to pent-up demand with the last EC, The Dew, launched in the Bukit Batok area over 20 years ago. Furthermore, homeseekers are increasingly open to residing in and around Tengah. Upcoming developments in the collective Jurong and Tengah area provide great potential for further expansion that developers and investors alike are keen to capitalise on.All in all, Altura EC is a project to be considered as homeowners and investors alike get to enjoy first mover advantage in an area with no new ECs. With the condo located amongst new HDB BTO projects, those residing there can expect an increase in demand from HDB upgraders looking to continue residing in the same estate.
