The average price of the units sold was S$1,700 psf. 80% of the units sold comprised 1-bedroom/ 1-bedroom + study and 2-bedroom units. The remaining 20% were 3-bedroom units, penthouses and strata houses.

It is nestled within a private residential enclave, and on the edge of Kent Ridge Park. It has great accessibility to public transport, and educational and business hubs, and is located close to the 1,000 ha Greater Southern Waterfront site.
Situated on a 319,250 square feet site, Kent Ridge Hill Residences has 548 units, comprising 1 to 3-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom to 5-bedroom penthouses and 50 strata landed houses. The project also features a wide range of lifestyle facilities.
Mr Paul Ho, chief mortgage consultant at iCompareLoan, said: “the renewed interest in properties like Kent Ridge Hill Residences shows that both occupiers and investors still have an appetite to buy good residential developments.”
Location
Kent Ridge Hill Residences is located on 50 South Buona Vista Road, along Jalan Mat Jambol. It faces Sarhad Ville and Treasure Place, which are right across the road. It sits on a hilltop location, making for excellent Feng Shui, and with sea views and views of Kent Ridge Park, floor to ceiling glass windows from the units offer tranquil and serene backdrops.
What makes this residential development different from the rest of the properties within the location is that it sits on the edge of Kent Ridge Park. Future residents will have direct access to the park, where you can commune with nature and enjoy outdoor family time, any time you wish, be it on a regular busy weekday, or over a long weekend.
The Kent Ridge Park is a historical park full of heritage with 20 fitness stations, a children’s playground, 2 natural ponds with one available for fishing, and its most popular attraction, its 280-meter Canopy Walk.
With an MRT Station within minutes, direct access to expressways, and a location where the future new residential, commercial, and community center of Singapore is set to be developed, which is the Greater Southern Waterfront City, Kent Ridge Hill Residences is one of the most coveted prime residential developments in Singapore to date.
