Why The Botany at Dairy Farm
A landmark development that brings together an unbeatable location and trusted developer pedigree.
Beside Dairy Farm Nature Park and the Bukit Timah reserve
The development takes its name from the Dairy Farm area, and the position is genuinely green: Dairy Farm Nature Park, the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, the Bukit Batok Nature Park and the Rail Corridor are all within a short distance. The Rail Corridor in particular is a 24km green artery running the length of the island, and the Bukit Timah section is one of its best-used stretches.
CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace 568m
CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace is about 568m away and Bukit Panjang Primary about 853m, both inside the one-kilometre priority band. At secondary level, Assumption English School is about 723m and Assumption Pathway School about 848m, with the wider Bukit Timah corridor holding Methodist Girls' School, Nanyang Girls' High and Hwa Chong Institution.
Hillview 804m, Cashew 983m
Hillview station on the Downtown Line is about 804m away and Cashew about 983m - both a walk or a short bus ride rather than a doorstep station. The Downtown Line runs directly through Botanic Gardens, Newton, Bugis, Chinatown and Marina Bay, so a single line reaches the city core.
386 units by Sim Lian, completing 2027
The Botany at Dairy Farm comprises 386 units on 99-year leasehold land, developed by Sim Lian Land Pte Ltd within the Sim Lian Group - one of Singapore's larger homegrown developers, with a portfolio spanning private condominiums and public housing. It launched in March 2023 and is due to complete on 31 December 2027.
Hao Mart 762m, Cold Storage 936m
Hao Mart is about 762m away and a Cold Storage about 936m, with HillV2 about 1,069m and The Rail Mall about 1,117m. The Rail Mall, a strip of restaurants, cafes and specialty shops under the old railway line at Upper Bukit Timah, is one of the more distinctive retail and dining clusters in the west, and Beauty World and Bukit Timah Plaza are a short drive.
A low-density western location
The Dairy Farm and Upper Bukit Timah area is one of the least dense residential parts of Singapore, with landed housing, nature reserves and reservoir catchment land dominating the surroundings. That means outlooks that are unlikely to be built up, and a level of quiet that a denser town cannot offer.

The Botany at Dairy Farm
D23 - Bukit Batok / Bukit Panjang
The Botany at Dairy Farm is a 386-unit residential development in District 23, developed by Sim Lian Land Pte Ltd within the Sim Lian Group. It is 99-year leasehold, launched in March 2023, and is scheduled to complete on 31 December 2027. URA records all 386 units as taken up.
The location is the proposition, and it is a specific one. The development sits in the Dairy Farm and Upper Bukit Timah area, which is among the least dense residential parts of Singapore - surrounded by landed housing, nature reserves and reservoir catchment land rather than by other high-rise estates. Dairy Farm Nature Park, the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, the Bukit Batok Nature Park and the Rail Corridor are all within a short distance, and the Rail Corridor itself is a 24km green artery running the length of the island, with its Bukit Timah section among the most heavily used stretches for walking, running and cycling. For a household that values green space and quiet over proximity to a town centre, this is the basis for being here.
The trade-off is rail distance. Hillview station on the Downtown Line is about 804m away and Cashew about 983m, so both are a walk or a short bus ride rather than a doorstep station. The compensation is that the Downtown Line runs directly through Botanic Gardens, Newton, Bugis, Chinatown, Downtown and Marina Bay, so once on the train a single line reaches the city core and the financial district without a change.
On schooling, CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace is about 568m away and Bukit Panjang Primary about 853m, both inside the one-kilometre priority band, with Assumption English School about 723m and Assumption Pathway School about 848m at secondary level. The wider Bukit Timah corridor adds Methodist Girls' School, Nanyang Girls' High School, Hwa Chong Institution and the international schools along Dunearn Road, all within a reasonable drive.
On everyday provision, Hao Mart is about 762m away and a Cold Storage about 936m, with HillV2 about 1,069m and The Rail Mall about 1,117m. The Rail Mall, a strip of restaurants, cafes and specialty shops beside the old railway line at Upper Bukit Timah, is one of the more distinctive retail and dining clusters in the west, and Beauty World, Bukit Timah Plaza and the Bukit Panjang town centre are all a short drive.

Why The Botany at Dairy Farm Stands Out
A closer look at the factors that make this development a compelling opportunity.
Location & Connectivity
The location here is a deliberate trade, and understanding it matters. The Dairy Farm and Upper Bukit Timah area is among the least dense residential parts of Singapore, dominated by landed housing, nature reserves and reservoir catchment land, which means outlooks that are unlikely to be built up around the development and a level of quiet that no town-centre location can offer. Dairy Farm Nature Park, the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, the Bukit Batok Nature Park and the Rail Corridor are all within a short distance, and the Rail Corridor provides a continuous 24km green route from the city to the north of the island - a genuinely rare piece of infrastructure for daily use. The price of that setting is rail distance: Hillview station on the Downtown Line is about 804m and Cashew about 983m, so both require a walk or a short bus ride, and the Downtown Line runs directly through Botanic Gardens, Newton, Bugis, Chinatown, Downtown and Marina Bay once boarded. Road access is good - the Pan-Island Expressway and the Bukit Timah Expressway are both close, putting the city, the west and the north within reasonable reach, and the Bukit Timah corridor gives a direct route south to Orchard and Newton.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Provision is more limited than in a town centre, which is the natural consequence of the low-density setting. Hao Mart is about 762m away and a Cold Storage about 936m, with HillV2 about 1,069m and The Rail Mall about 1,117m. The Rail Mall is the standout - a strip of restaurants, cafes and specialty shops tucked under the old railway line at Upper Bukit Timah, which gives the immediate area a dining cluster that most low-density locations lack. Beyond that, Beauty World Centre, Bukit Timah Plaza, the Bukit Panjang town centre and Junction 10 are all within a short drive, and the Bukit Timah corridor southwards provides a wide range of retail, dining and medical facilities. On schooling, CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace at about 568m and Bukit Panjang Primary at about 853m are both inside the one-kilometre priority band, with Assumption English School about 723m and Assumption Pathway School about 848m; the wider Bukit Timah corridor adds Methodist Girls' School, Nanyang Girls' High, Hwa Chong Institution and the international schools along Dunearn Road within a short drive. Within the development, the facilities are being provided at condominium standard for 386 units, including swimming pools, gym and communal landscaped areas, with the landscaping designed to respond to the nature-adjacent setting.
Rental & Investment
Rental demand in the Dairy Farm and Upper Bukit Timah area is narrower than in a town centre but more resilient in the segments it serves. The tenant base is dominated by families - both expatriate households attached to the international and premium local schools along the Bukit Timah and Dunearn Road corridors, and Singaporean families who want the nature-adjacent setting and the school access - together with professionals working at the National University of Singapore, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, the Bukit Timah research and education institutions, and the hospitals and business nodes that can be reached via the Pan-Island and Bukit Timah expressways. The nature-reserve setting and the Rail Corridor are genuine differentiators for households that choose this area over a town centre, and the presence of CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace within 568m supports family tenancies specifically. What limits the case is the rail distance - both Downtown Line stations are the better part of a kilometre away, which rules out tenants who insist on walking to the train - and the fact that the surrounding area has limited rental stock, so the comparable pool for pricing is thin. Buyers should underwrite the setting, the school access and the family-tenancy profile rather than short-term yield, and should expect longer average tenancies and lower turnover than a central address.
Area Transformation
The transformation of the Dairy Farm area has been slow, controlled and largely about conservation rather than development - which is precisely what gives the location its value. For most of the twentieth century the area was agricultural and rural, with the Dairy Farm itself operating as a cattle and dairy operation, and the surrounding land was later absorbed into the central catchment and nature reserve system. The decisive intervention came in 2011 when the Keretapi Tanah Melayu railway line was returned to Singapore, and the resulting Rail Corridor was progressively opened as a green public route - a 24km continuous artery through the island that has become one of Singapore's most-used recreational and commuting paths. Dairy Farm Nature Park was developed to provide access to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve without impacting it, and the area has become a focus for nature education and research. Alongside that, the Bukit Timah corridor to the south has been renewed: Beauty World has been redeveloped with the completion of the Beauty World MRT station on the Downtown Line in 2015, and the Upper Bukit Timah and Jalan Jurong Kechil areas have seen piecemeal replacement of older buildings with newer residential projects. Looking forward, the changes to expect are incremental and constrained by the surrounding nature reserve and catchment land, which limits how much can be built. The largest planned change in the wider area is the development of Tengah new town to the west, which will add population and amenity to the region over the coming decade. For an owner at The Botany, the expectation is a nature-adjacent location that stays essentially unchanged - a rare thing in Singapore, and the reason the setting should hold its value.
