Accessibility: 3/5

The Botany, located off Dairy Farm Road in District 23, offers homeowners exceptional connectivity and convenient access to nearby amenities.

It is surrounded by lush greenery and nature and is close to Dairy Farm Nature Park and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, with schools nearby as well, including CHIJ (Our Lady Queen of Peace) Primary School and Bukit Panjang Primary School. 

Residents can enjoy excellent island-wide connectivity through major expressways with a two-minute drive to the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE), Pan Island Expressway (PIE), and Kranji Expressway (KJE). This development makes commuting an easy affair for busy professionals driving to the office or for the family during a weekend outing. 

The Hillview MRT station (Downtown Line) is only a 10-minute walk away, connecting you to hotspots like the Central Business District and Newton area. The Circle Line is also just five stops away and the North-South Line is just seven stops away. There are also direct buses to Orchard Road, Somerset, Woodlands, Marine Parade, and Geylang East.

There is an upcoming mall in the new mixed development, Dairy Farm Residences, right next door, which is set to launch by the end of this year. This effectively gives residents unparalleled access to everything they need right from their doorstep.

The development’s biggest star would be its prime positioning, ensuring that residents enjoy a peaceful and serene living experience perfect for homeowners seeking a respite from the urban bustle.

Nestled within a breathtaking international enclave of vast greenery and unobstructed views, The Botany promises a distinctly unique lifestyle for homeowners with expansive open spaces, lush landscaping, and a serene and quiet neighborhood. 

The crown jewel of the development is the stunning standalone Grand Clubhouse, featuring a hilltop co-working space, function room, hilltop gym, and outdoor grill pavilion. The perfect blend of productivity and entertainment, the Grand Clubhouse is designed to inspire creativity and foster a thriving sense of community.

The wellness amenities do not fail to impress either, with a 15m lap pool and 4 other pools located within the development, jogging and cardio trails, an aqua gym, a reflexology path, and – you’re going to love this — a tennis court. (Good luck booking a slot. Everyone loves tennis here and courts are always fully booked.) These amenities are meticulously integrated into the spaces, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle that does not leave out exclusivity and relaxation.

Quality of Fittings: 4/5

Almost every unit is designed with an exceptionally-wide balcony in the living and dining areas, providing homeowners with spectacular views of the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve or the Good Class Bungalow area of Chestnut Avenue – or the pool. Inspired by its natural beauty around the development, The Botany offers a touch of sophistication to your home space by meeting modern design with contemporary living.

Homeowners can indulge in the ultimate living experience with unit types ranging from 1-bedroom+study to rare 5-bedroom units, all featuring spacious and efficient layouts. With a design philosophy that emphasizes a sense of space, the bedrooms are exceptionally spacious and designed to maximize natural light. 

Unit sizes at The Botany start from 506 square feet to 1,765 square feet, with quality fittings and appliances that provide residents with the best in style, convenience, and functionality. From Villeroy & Boch’s sleek and contemporary bathroom fittings, Electrolux’s top-of-the-line kitchen appliances to Hansgrohe’s luxurious bathroom and kitchen faucets.

Healthy Living: 5/5

The Botany offers a living experience that’s intimately in harmony with nature. Surrounded by 413 acres of lush greenery, residents can enjoy the tropical bliss and immerse themselves in the beauty of the natural world.

For passionate explorers, The Botany is surrounded by a plethora of nature parks and trails, providing ample opportunity for outdoor recreation. The Dairy Farm Nature Park is just a three-minute walk away, while the Zhenghua Nature Park is just a nine-minute walk away. The Dairy Farm Park Connector is just a two-minute cycle away by bike, offering a beautiful route for cycling enthusiasts.

The 24KM Rail Corridor is also just a three-minute cycle away by bike, providing residents access to the continuous green passage with wildlife movement between major green spaces. Chestnut Nature Park and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve are both just a short nine-minute cycle away by bike, while the Bukit Batok Nature Park is also easily accessible.

In essence, this project is a haven for those who love to explore and indulge in the beauty of nature. 

Price/Value for Money: 4/5

Based on the above criteria, our call would be that The Botany is well worth its price.

Under the URA Masterplan, Bukit Panjang is expected to undergo a slew of developments that will enhance its livability and provide greater access to amenities to the community. Adding to the excitement is the forthcoming Beauty World Integrated Transport Hub, a massive integrated development at Jalan Anak Bukit that promises many exciting new developments to the neighbouring geography of The Botany. Most importantly, it will connect the Beauty World MRT station with a bus interchange, providing residents with a convenient way to travel to and from home.

Furthermore, the success of the nearby Dairy Farm Residences and the seven plots of land currently available for purchase in the vicinity indicate that the potential for capital appreciation is promising. And The Botany’s reasonable price point makes this project an ideal choice for investors. 

This development is also an ideal choice for families and owner-occupiers alike. With its contemporary aesthetics, resort-style living, lush greenery, and exceptional connectivity, The Botany offers an exceptional living experience that’s luxurious, affordable, and convenient.
