Watten House is a freehold District 11 new condo launch at Shelford Road, a superb Core Central Region (CCR) address in Bukit Timah.

The Bukit Timah condominium will comprise of 180 apartments and will be jointly developed by UOL Group and Singapore Land Group Limited, or more commonly known as SingLand. Both firms will be developing Watten House through a subsidiary United Venture Development (Watten) Pte. Ltd., with UOL holding an 80% in the development and SingLand possessing the remaining 20% of the shares.

Watten House sits on the former site of Watten Estate Condominium, which was acquired by the developers through a tender on 28th October 2021. Transacted at the sale price of S$550.8 million, Watten Estate Condo was sold at a 10.2% premium to the S$500 million reserve price. Watten Estate Condo was completed in 1983 and comprised of 104 apartments.

Locational Attributes

Watten House is nestled in a private residential enclave of landed houses and low-rise apartments, just north of Shelford Road Playground.

The nearest mall of Coronation Shopping Plaza is about 10 minutes from the development.

In terms of connectivity, the luxurious condo is well-connected by the arterial roads of Bukit Timah Road, Dunearn Road, Farrer Road and Adam Road. The expressway of PIE (Pan-Island Expressway) is just a few minutes drive from the development and allows future residents who drive, a quick way to travel to various addresses in Singapore. Alternatively, they can also use the AYE (Ayer Rajah Expressway), which is linked via arterial roads Farrer Road and Queensway.

The development is also well-connected via public transport. There are many buses plying along Dunearn Road and Bukit Timah Road. The nearest MRT station of Tan Kah Kee offers quick access to Upper Bukit Timah areas and places in town like Bugis, Bayfront and Chinatown.

Project Details

The site area of Watten House is approximately 220,241 square feet. Under the 2019 URA Master Plan, the site has a plot ratio of 1.4, which results in a maximum GFA (Gross Floor Area) of 308,337 square feet for the site.

Based on the minimum average apartment size of 100 square metres, the developers can build 286 units at the site.

However, the developers have astutely identified the shortage of large apartments in the Core Central Region (CCR) and will instead chose to build a smaller number of large-format units. Hence, the smallest unit type would be a 3-Bedroom apartment, with the unit mix being 3 to 5 Bedroom apartments.

There will be a total number of 180 apartments housed in eight 5-Storey Residential Blocks.

Primary Schools Around The Project

Watten House is located within 1 km from the famous and popular primary schools of Nanyang Primary School and Raffles Girls’ Primary School (RGPS), which gives parents residing in the development priority admission if balloting is required.

Nanyang Primary School is one of the fifteen Special Assistance Plan (SAP) Primary Schools in Singapore. By virtue of being an SAP primary school, Nanyang Primary School will offer Higher Chinese in its educational curriculum. A primary reason of Nanyang Primary School being perpetually over-subscribed during the annual Singapore Primary One Registration Exercise is it being a mixed school that can enroll young children of either gender.

Raffles Girls’ Primary School is also extremely popular with parents residing in Bukit Timah. Established in 1959, RGPS is one of the two primary schools to pilot the Gifted Education Programme (GEP) in 1984, with the other primary school being Rosyth School. To date, there are only 9 GEP primary schools in the whole of Singapore, hence making RGPS a prime choice for parents with children of primary school-going age.
