The Skywoods

The Skywoods

Located in a very quiet, as of yet undeveloped part of Bukit Panjang in District 23, The Skywoods is a residential development comprised of six 15 storey towers. Its 420 units range from 1 bed + study up to penthouses. The 3 and 4 bed units at The Skywoods come in a choice of standard and compact, and there is also the option of going for the higher ceilinged (4.25 m) 3 bed ground floor units. The Skywoods is – in Singapore terms at least – an isolated development surrounded by a green, natural environment. This does mean there are no amenities in its immediate vicinity, but it is still only an 8-minute walk to the nearest MRT and shopping mall.

The Skywoods is developed by Bukit Timah Green Development Pte Ltd, a joint venture between Hock Lian Seng Holdings Limited, King Wan Corporation Limited and TA Corporation Ltd.

The Skywoods – Unique Selling Points

The overriding reason that people would choose to live in The Skywoods is the desire to be surrounded by natural beauty and scenery, and that is exactly what you get. It overlooks the 63 hectare Dairy Farm Nature Park, and due to The Skywoods’ position on a slight hill, it offers residents a tranquil and green, scenic and unspoilt view that is almost unheard of in Singapore.

The Skywoods – Accessibility

The relative isolation of The Skywoods (certainly in terms of Singapore) does mean that there are not a host of amenities on its doorstep, but that should not be a concern for those buying property here. That said Hillview MRT Station is only an 8-minute walk from the development. From there you Bugis is a 20 minute ride and you can be in the CBD in under 40 minutes. Residents of The Skywoods with a car can be on the BKE very quickly and easily, a result of the very low traffic volumes in the area, from where the other expressways are accessible.
