Kent Ridge Hill Residences – all the convenience of city living with a hillside address
Save for a few exceptions, Singapore’s terrain is fairly flat and the tallest hill we have in the little red dot is Bukit Timah Hill. The southern region of Singapore is not without its own hilly landscape; the Southern Ridges offers a picturesque gradient which stretches from Mount Faber Park to Labrador Nature Reserve. Kent Ridge Park is part of the Southern Ridges and home to a large biodiversity of flora and fauna.
Direct access to Kent Ridge Park
Amid a slew of new launches in the last quarter of 2018, Kent Ridge Hill Residences stands heads and shoulders above the rest with its unique position by the hillside cocooned amid lush foliage. Perhaps the trump card that propels Oxley’s latest development to a league of its own is its exclusive, residents-only access to Kent Ridge Park from within the development’s grounds.
Easy access to the city
Singaporeans are a practical bunch and most will not choose to live tucked away far from the madding crowd if it takes a long time to commute to work and nearby amenities. Despite being a restive sanctuary, Kent Ridge Hill Residences is just a 15-minute drive away from the Central Business District (CBD) and an eight-minute walk away from Pasir Panjang MRT station on the Circle Line. Even nearer still are commercial hubs Mapletree Business City, one-north and Harbourfront Centre. The world-renowned National University of Singapore and medical hub National University Hospital are reachable within five minutes by car.
Positive vibes at Kent Ridge Hill Residences
For property seekers who believe in the benefits of feng shui, Kent Ridge Hill Residences’ “hillside backing sea facing” (座山望海) location is generally regarded as being positive and favourable. Ideally, homes and cities are supposed to be bound by mountains and near water for protection and wealth.
Potential Capital Upside
After the transformation of the Marina Bay and Marina South area to the glittering commercial and leisure landmark it is today, perhaps the next definitive project on Singapore’s roadmap is the Greater Southern Waterfront master plan. Works are in progress to move the port from Keppel and Pasir Panjang to Tuas in stages. Precious waterfront real estate will be freed up, setting the stage for the construction of a seamless southern belt where commercial and recreational activity operate as one cohesive whole.
Come home to nature’s finest at Kent Ridge Hill Residences
Space is a resource one will find in abundance at Kent Ridge Hill Residences. Sitting on a sprawling site spanning 29,659 sq metres (or five football fields), the five-storey apartment blocks and strata landed homes are well-placed in a spacious environment. Property buyers who value low-density living will find the vastness of Kent Ridge Hill Residences a much desired respite.

At the Forefront of the Greater Southern Waterfront: Developments that Stand to Benefit
Find out what’s in store for the property landscape in areas such as Pasir Panjang
From its humble beginnings as a steamboat barbecue and kite-flying hotspot in the 1990s, the Marina Bay area has transformed into the leading financial hub, civic space and community playground it is today. More than 30 years in the making, the ambitious project has played an important role in shaping the cityscape of Singapore. What’s next in the works to bring the Central Area to the next level?
A new chapter in Singapore’s urbanscape
In August 2017, PSA Singapore moved all its 500 staff from Tanjong Pagar Terminal to the Pasir Panjang Terminal, well ahead of schedule in Singapore’s great port migration. PSA’s city terminals at Keppel and Brani are set to move into the newer facilities at Pasir Panjang. The Tuas mega-port is set to open progressively from 2021, with target completion taking place in 2040.
A green theme – a hallmark set to define the Greater Southern Waterfront
With Sentosa and Pulau Brani being earmarked to be part of the Greater Southern Waterfront, there’s opportunity to up the green quotient in both the islands. In the near future, we could see residences and a themed destination hub arise – nestled amid a lush forest setting.
Future waterfront housing
In District 5, there are a few developments that could benefit as the future waterfront housing belt lifts the prices of homes in surrounding neighbourhoods such as Pasir Panjang. These include the fully-sold The Verandah Residences and the recently launched Kent Ridge Hill Residences both developed by Oxley Holdings Limited.
Kent Ridge Hill Residences – Hillside Address, City Living
Sitting on a piece of land that spans five football fields, Kent Ridge Hill Residences comprises five-storey apartment blocks and strata landed homes that are comfortably spaced out. With plenty of space between blocks and individual units, property buyers who value privacy and spaciousness have one- to three-bedroom apartments, three- to five-bedroom penthouses and strata landed terraces to choose from.
