[New Launch] Pinetree Hill: A Rising Star in District 21

Until the debut of Pinetree Hill in July 2023, the quiet, leafy private residential enclave of Pine Grove had not seen a new project launch in 14 years. Developed as a joint venture between UOL Group (UOL) and Singapore Land Group (SingLand), the luxury condominium has uplifted capital values in the District 21 neighbourhood.

The development comprises 520 units spread across three high-rise residential towers. This 99-year leasehold project offers a wide variety of unit layouts—ranging from 538 sq ft one-bedroom-plus-study units to a 2,874 sq ft five-bedroom penthouse—catering to diverse lifestyle needs.

Since its launch last year, 63% of the 400 units released in Phase 1 have been sold, achieving an average price of around $2,430 psf. With construction underway, the on-site sales gallery has closed. A brand-new sales gallery featuring refreshed showflats has been set up along Holland Road.

New Phase of Premium High-Floor Units

UOL-SingLand is rolling out a fresh phase of 120 premium units under Phase 2 of Pinetree Hill. These primarily consist of high-floor units across all layout types, boasting expansive, verdant views of the adjacent Clementi Forest and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.

Designed by renowned project architect P&T Consultants, Pinetree Hill is perched on a 10m elevated hillside, with its residential towers elevated 12.6m—or about four storeys—above the ground. Residential units start from the second level, equivalent to eight storeys above Ulu Pandan Road street level.

The towers occupy only 12% of the sprawling 242,563 sq ft 99-year leasehold site. Consequently, 88% of the land is dedicated to landscaped gardens, swimming pools, and communal facilities curated by an acclaimed landscape architect.

A standout feature of Pinetree Hill is the three "Pinetree Nests"—nest-inspired pavilions cantilevered over the scenic 10m slope fronting Clementi Forest.

While a significant portion of the development has been taken up, a choice selection of unit types remains available at Pinetree Hill, spearheaded by the newly released high-floor units in Phase 2. Prices start from $2,313 psf.

Attractive and Sensible Pricing

Priced attractively to suit diverse lifestyles, the units cater well to singles, couples, and young families alike. Pinetree Hill offers a variety of two-bedroom configurations: standard units ranging from 700 to 845 sq ft, premium units spanning 764 to 915 sq ft, and premium-plus-study units at 797 sq ft.

These layouts boast larger floor plates compared to developments launched after the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) revised its harmonisation of floor area guidelines across government agencies on 1 June 2023.

Since the revision, developers have had to recalibrate their pricing strategies for new projects to account for changes in overall saleable area, resulting in comparatively more compact unit sizes in newer launches.

UOL-SingLand acquired the Pine Grove Government Land Sales (GLS) site in June 2022, a year prior to the guideline revisions. For an investment of $2 million, buyers can secure a two-bedroom premium-plus-study unit. Young families can seamlessly convert the study into a nursery or a cosy guest room.

Comprehensive Condominium Facilities and Nearby Amenities

Pinetree Hill features a comprehensive suite of facilities, including a 50m lap pool, a tennis court, a half basketball court, a clubhouse, and dining pavilions. Residents can also hike or stroll along the Clementi Nature Trail, which opened last year. The newly completed 2km nature trail connects the Rail Corridor with the new nature park at Dover Forest.

Families with school-going children will appreciate its proximity to popular primary schools within a 1km radius, including Henry Park Primary School and Pei Tong Primary School. It is also close to the National University of Singapore (NUS), one-north, and the Singapore Science Park.

Situated in District 21, just a stone's throw from prime District 10's Holland Road, Pinetree Hill is conveniently close to lifestyle and dining destinations in Holland Village, Chip Bee Gardens, and Dempsey Hill, as well as shopping hubs like One Holland Village Mall.

Targeting completion in 2027, the project is situated near the existing Dover MRT station on the East-West Line and the upcoming Maju MRT station on the Cross Island Line.

Pinetree Hill is just a 10-minute drive to the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Orchard Road, and the one-north business park, and 15 minutes to the Central Business District (CBD) and Jurong Lake District. It also enjoys seamless connectivity via the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) and Pan Island Expressway (PIE).
