Where is Terra Hill Condo Located?

Terra Hill Location.

Terra Hill Condo is located at Yew Siang Road, a short cul-de-sac just off Pasir Panjang Road. Behind it is the Kent Ridge Park while the Pasir Panjang MRT station and Food Centre lie in the opposite direction merely 350m away.

Next to the food centre is the Pasir Panjang Linear Park, which stretches from the Labrador Nature Park to West Coast Park and runs along the shoreline of the Greater Southern Waterfront.

Being tucked away at the end of Yew Siang Road and surrounded by mostly landed and low-rise private housing, there is little traffic. Hence, residents can look forward to a quiet and green living environment.

2-3 bus stops away from Terra Hill Condo are the Mapletree Business City, Pasir Panjang Power District (which will be conserved and transformed into a lifestyle hub), and the Alexandra Retail Centre (ARC).

A Green and Serene Living Environment

Terra Hill will offer a rare hillside living as it is located at the foot of Kent Ridge Park. Kent Ridge Park is part of the 10km-long Southern Ridges, which also includes HortPark, Telok Blangah Hill Park, Labrador Nature Reserve, and Mount Faber Park.

The Southern Ridges is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, and it also offers panoramic views of the city, harbour and the Southern Islands.

One of the highlights of the Southern Ridges is the Canopy Walk, a 280m-long elevated boardwalk that cuts through the secondary forest and offers great views of the surroundings and sea.

There is a path near Terra Hill co do that leads directly to it.

Being surrounded by greenery amid low-density housing, residents will enjoy an abundance of fresh air, and even some sea breezes due to its proximity to the southern shoreline. Given the ongoing covid-19 pandemic, Terra Hill will provide a place of residence to rejuvenate one’s mind, body and soul, as well as taking a break from the stress of modern living.

Labrador Nature Park Network

Plans are afoot to expand the Labrador Nature Park Network to further strengthen ecological connectivity between the Labrador Nature Reserve and its surrounding green areas.

Besides the existing Labrador Nature Reserve, which is part of the Southern Ridges, and the Pasir Panjang Linear Park, which will be extended (refer to picture), four more nature parks have been planned.

Labrador Nature Park Network

These parks will be linked by park connectors, providing an even greener, more pleasant, and healthier living environment for residents. These four nature parks are:

1. King's Dock Park slated to be completed by 2024
2. Alexandra Nature Park to be completed around 2025
3. Berlayer Creek Nature Park
4. Park at the former Keppel Club site

The latter two parks will only be developed in tandem with new housing developments taking place from 2025.
