Getting a BTO flat is a rite of passage for many Singaporeans. Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming demand for public housing, some couples have found themselves in for a long wait. One couple, bummed about their failed Build-To-Order (BTO) attempts, complained on Reddit on Wednesday (Oct 12), the day that the BTO results were announced for the highly sought-after Central.

If Natura Loft sounds familiar to you, it could be because it has been making headlines for minting million dollar HDBs.
Launched in November 2008 (right smack in the middle of the Global Financial Crisis), Natura Loft was the fourth DBSS project in Singapore that promised condo-like features such as an underground basement carpark (this was not the norm in HDBs then) and a condominium-looking facade.
The developer Qingjian Realty (also the developer of the upcoming Forett at Bukit Timah) braved the gloomy market sentiments and pushed on with its marketing efforts, with four-room flat prices ranging from $465K – $586K, while five-room flat prices ranged between $590K – $739K.

HDB
It would seem quite a number of BTOs launched by HDB in Nov 2020 are located close to MRT stations. Bishan Ridges is no different. The centrally located BTO is less than 10 mins away by foot from the Bishan MRT station, an interchange for two MRT lines (Circle and North-South).
We take a closer look at this upcoming BTO and see which units to pick if you are lucky enough to get a decent queue number.
Overview
Besides its close proximity to Bishan MRT and the adjacent mall, Junction 8, Bishan Ridges also houses its own on-site amenities. The site plan features an area to the west of the site showcasing a number of retail shops, an eating house and a mini mart.
