To book a showflat viewing and learn more about Pinetree Hill and floor plans, potential buyers can contact Pinetree Hill's official development team or listed agents.Sitting on a plot size of 22,535 sqm, Pinetree Hill comprises three 24-storey blocks housing approximately 520 residential units. As the entire Pinetree Hill site sits on an elevated plane, all units on lower floors get enhanced privacy compared to other developments on level grounds. As an added bonus, the development is north-south facing so all units are spared from direct sunlight any time of the year. Residential blocks are intentionally staggered to maximise space between the tower blocks. This enhances airflow across all units while also allowing residents to truly enjoy unblocked views of Clementi Forest, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, and the Dover neighbourhood. For homeowners who prioritise having ample space, Pinetree Hill is a project to be considered given the larger percentage of land space set aside for residential blocks as opposed to newer developments in the area. 88% of Pinetree Hill‘s site is set aside for landscaping while the other 12% is assigned to residential blocks. This translates to approximately 466.5 sq ft of space per unit –– arguably generous for new residential launches.Under URA’s master plan, the Ulu Pandan neighbourhood is set to undergo some transformations. These ongoing and upcoming enhancements will not only boost the livability of the area in time to come but also benefit residents. Within walking distance of Pinetree Hill, a nature park will be built in the western part of the Ulu Pandan estate. Under the Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters programme, the Ulu Pandan Canal will be upgraded with a linear park and green corridor with water features integrated into housing projects. A wider park connector will also be incorporated for the residents and parkgoers to conveniently enjoy casual jogs and leisure strolls. Lastly, plans have also been put in place for a new commercial node beside Dover MRT station. Residents will see a barrier-free and sheltered walkway built to improve connectivity to Dover MRT station. Residents will also benefit from a wider range of retail and dining options available at the new commercial node.United Venture Development, a joint venture between UOL Group and Singapore Land Group, won the site with its winning bid of $671.5 million, which works out to $1,318 per sq ft per plot ratio (psf ppr). With existing condos in the area being older mature projects, new launches like Pinetree Hill will open up newer options for new buyers looking to reside in D21 or stay near their parents. To keep up with Singapore’s growing population, the Clementi Forest has been zoned for residential use since the 1980s. In efforts to future-proof housing demands for later generations, a large number of housing developments have been planned for the area which could potentially lead to an uptick in property prices in the area in the future. More specifically, the upcoming BTO project in Dover Forest will see 3,000 flats launched progressively across three phases. This would induce a spike in housing supply in the area, thereby boosting the value of surrounding properties such as Pinetree Hill.
