Bijou is an integrated development at Jalan Mat Jambol in Pasir Panjang. It is a five-storey building featuring 120 residential units and 15 commercial spaces, including a grocery store operated and managed by developer Far East.
Bijou is just across the road from Pasir Panjang MRT station, to which it is currently connected by a sheltered overhead bridge.
Though situated in a relatively quiet enclave, Bijou borders the very busy Pasir Panjang Road, with the West Coast Highway overhead. The development is close to numerous restaurants on either side of the road, including 24-hour minimarts, all of which are within walking distance.
However, Bijou is expected to have its own shops and grocery stores which will inject a dose of modernity in Jalan Mat Jambol while providing its residents, as well as landed house owners in the immediate vicinity, with more amenities within a shorter distance.
Several buses that service both sides and connect Bijou to places like Mapletree Business Park, VivoCity (four train stops down), Jurong, Clementi and even Bedok, make Bijou well-connected and conveniently located.

Reignwood Hamilton Scotts is an über luxury residence that sits next to Sheraton Hotel and is less than a five-minute walk from Newton MRT station.
Developed by KOP Properties and acquired by Reignwood Group, the luxury residence boasts a state-of-the-art sky garage unique to Singapore and Southeast Asia.
The sky garage parks two cars, typically collectors’ cars which are visible en route to the apartment via a glass elevator. The cars sit in a display setting within the spacious living room, like priceless museum pieces.
Orchard Road is a short train ride or 10-minute walk away, so residents at Reignwood Hamilton Scotts will not have to deal with traffic by driving along Singapore’s perennial shopping belt.
Being within walking distance to Newton MRT station, restaurants in the black and white heritage buildings, as well as local cuisine, mark Reignwood Hamilton Scotts as a rare luxury development that is exclusive yet provides great convenience.
Further setting itself apart, Reignwood Group has imbued the development with professional services typically seen in five-star hotels, so as to create an exclusive, high-end atmosphere for its residents. Indeed, living in the lap of luxury is part of the deal here.
