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.
