Pinetree Hill review : A significant attractive GLS site
The GLS land parcel where Pinetree Hill is now at, has attracted much significant attention when it was launched in Feb 2022. As many five local developers placed bids, all eager to capitalize on the high interest and pent-up demand in the Pandan Valley-Pine Grove area. Interestingly, the GLS land parcel was also launched at the same time as Grand Dunman, which we reviewed in an article recently and which did very well in its launch too.
This is not surprising as The Pine Grove (Parcel A) site is very well-connected with three MRT stations and the Ayer Rajah Expressway within a two-km radius. As proximity to MRT stations often ranks high on home buyers’ wish list, the excellent connectivity of the site definitely gives a boost to its desirability.
Pinetree Hill, in particular, marks the first new condominium launch in the neighborhood in 14 years. This development is set to breathe new life into the area.
Quite a significant time has passed since a private property was last unveiled in the vicinity of Mt. Sinai. The resale properties surrounding the region are notably much older. A prime example is Pandan Valley, one of Singapore’s oldest condominiums, with its origins dating back to the 1970s. Not far away, Astor Green emerged in 1995, while Pine Grove has an even more distant history, harking back to 1994. The area exudes a sense of established charm, adorned with properties that have witnessed the passage of time.
The notable age difference plays a pivotal role in setting Pinetree Hill apart in a positive light. With newer and meticulously maintained facilities, the development gains a competitive edge. This distinction is particularly significant for landlords, considering the affluent nature of tenants in the esteemed Bukit Timah area. Such discerning tenants typically prefer modern amenities, making Pinetree Hill an appealing choice for those who seek top-notch living experiences without compromising on quality.
In this article, we will showcase the outstanding features of Pinetree Hill. If you are contemplating the idea of acquiring a unit at Pinetree Hill, continue reading to discover more before you make your way to the showflat preview.

Pinetree Hill : Location
Nestled within the tranquil vicinity of Pinetree Hill lies a charming neighborhood, surrounded by the picturesque landed enclave of Mount Sinai, as well as the established condos, Pandan Valley and Pine Grove. What sets Pinetree Hill apart is its elevated location, offering a sense of serenity and lush greenery, with an impressive 88% of the site dedicated to beautiful landscaping and top-notch facilities.
This delightful haven is situated in the western region of Singapore, with the nearest MRT station, Dover, located approximately 1km away. While it might take around 15 minutes on foot, the distance may not be considered a comfortable walking distance for some residents, potentially affecting the convenience for those who heavily rely on public transportation. Nevertheless, a well-connected bus network in the area could prove beneficial in mitigating this concern.
Furthermore, the upcoming Maju MRT station on the Cross Island Line (CRL) will offer an additional 15-20-minute bus ride connectivity to the region. For drivers, easy access to the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) and Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) will provide a seamless journey to the Central Business District (CBD) in under 30 minutes.

The Clementi Mall, The Star Vista, and Holland Village Shopping Centre are the nearest options available. But then Blossoms by the Park is even closer to these excellent shopping and dining amenities.
Renowned for its extensive array of amenities, Clementi has solidified its status as a well-developed hub, a reputation further reinforced after the recent completion of Clementi Mall. In contrast, Bukit Timah is renowned for its abundant green spaces and lush natural surroundings.
Pinetree Hill prides itself on equal accessibility to the attractions of both Clementi and Bukit Timah. Within a mere 10-minute drive, residents can reach Clementi Mall, enjoying its diverse offerings. Simultaneously, a short seven-minute drive grants easy access to the scenic wonders of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, offering a delightful retreat into nature’s embrace. Such as the newly open Rifle Range Nature Park. But then The Reserve Residences is even close to Nature Parks in Bukit Timah.

Reputable schools in the vicinity include Henry Park Primary School, Pei Tong Primary School, Clementi Town Secondary School, Singapore Polytechnic, and the National University of Singapore (NUS).

Pinetree Hill : Site Plan
Pinetree Hill (see site plan at developer agent web site) comprises three residential blocks, each soaring 24 stories high. Interestingly, two of these blocks boast 8 units per core, while the third one features 7 units per core. The architecture embraces an irregular plot of land, strategically spacing the residential blocks far apart. This design choice seems intentional, likely to create ample room for abundant landscaping and a wide array of facilities interspersed between the blocks.
The units themselves are thoughtfully oriented in a north-south fashion, with Ulu Pandan Road, Pandan Valley, and Pine Grove gracefully delineating the estate’s boundaries. Those fortunate enough to have units facing south towards Pine Grove can revel in captivating views of the lush Dover Forest. However, future developments may alter this serene landscape, as certain parts are earmarked for public housing. On the other hand, units oriented northward offer an unobstructed vista of the vast Clementi Forest, embracing a different aspect of natural beauty.
