Located at Bukit Batok West Avenue 8, Altura EC is an upcoming executive condominium (EC) by Qingjian Realty and Santarli Construction. It is expected to house 375 family-friendly units with a maximum building height of 60m to 70m in the Singapore height datum.
Residents of Altura EC will enjoy close proximity to schools and shopping malls in the area. They can also take advantage of the nearby nature parks and sports facilities in Bukit Batok Town.
The URA Master Plan
The URA Master Plan aims to promote a liveable and green city, while encouraging sustainability. It also focuses on reinforcing connections within and across neighborhoods, with the construction of new roads, enhanced public transport and improved pedestrian and cycling networks.
Residents can take advantage of the extensive public transportation network in Bukit Batok, and can travel around Singapore quickly and easily via MRT stations on the North-South Line and upcoming Jurong Region Line. Additionally, shopping malls like West Mall and Bukit Batok Town Centre are just a short drive away, offering a range of entertainment and retail options.
Families with children can benefit from the proximity to schools in Bukit Batok, as travel times between home and school are reduced. This makes it easier for kids to pursue their studies, and parents can focus on other priorities without having to worry about long commutes. It can also cut down on the risk of accidents, which can help to improve family safety and reduce stress.
The Jurong Region Line
The Jurong Region Line (JRL) will boost connectivity in the western area of Singapore, linking business parks, schools, shopping centers and other areas. It will also reduce travel time for commuters.
The JRL will be a 24km, 24-station Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line that will operate in 3 phases from 2027 onwards. It will connect residential areas and business hubs in the vicinity of Gek Poh and Pandan Gardens to key destinations, including Jurong Industrial Estate, the Jurong Innovation District and Nanyang Technological University.
Residents of Altura EC will be well-connected to various locations in the West through the JRL, resulting in shorter journey times and increased property values over time. This will make Altura EC an even more appealing residential option for buyers and investors alike.
The JRL will be built through a densely developed corridor, presenting several challenges for its construction. However, Transport Minister S. Iswaran says that the line will be built using “sustainable and modern technologies”. Moreover, each station on the line will be fitted with photovoltaic solar panels to generate renewable energy.
The Strategic Location
The location of Altura EC is extremely strategic, situated near shopping centres in Bukit Batok and Choa Chu Kang. This ensures that residents can enjoy the perks of living in the vibrant urban city without the hassle of driving to the Central Business District (CBD).
Being close to schools also brings a range of benefits for families with young children. Reduced travel time and distance means that parents can have more free time to spend with their children, engage in hobbies or pursue extra-curricular activities.
Aside from the convenience and safety that living close to schools brings, it can also help families save on bus fares or fuel costs. This can be put towards other expenses, such as education fees or future property value appreciation.
The URA Master Plan is expected to transform the area around the Altura EC development in Bukit Batok, which could promote economic growth and create new job prospects. It also plans to introduce new parks, community facilities, and recreational areas. These will improve the quality of life for citizens living in Altura EC, and provide them with ample opportunities to relax and exercise in a serene environment.
The Amenities
The Altura EC development is located at Bukit Batok West Avenue 8 and is expected to attract robust interest from first-time buyers as well as those looking to upgrade their HDB flats. Executive condominiums are considered a viable alternative for many Singaporean households, due to their relatively lower price point compared to private condos.
Residents can access a range of amenities and services within close proximity to the Altura EC development. These include schools, shopping malls, and leisure facilities.
These amenities and services will allow the locals to stay active, healthy, and entertained while also fostering a sense of community. In addition, the master plan for Bukit Batok proposes constructing more parks, playgrounds, and sports facilities to enhance the lifestyle of locals.
Tengah Town, a new forest town, will also be bringing with it a wide range of commercial and retail establishments that are sure to provide residents with improved access to amenities. This will benefit the locals by introducing additional options for shopping, dining, and entertainment.
