At the west of the development is the road Dairy Farm Heights, beyond which lies the condominium of The Skywoods. The road of Dairy Farm Lane divides the southern perimeter of The Botany Condo from the international school of German European School Singapore, or GESS in short or as it is more popularly known as.

The Dairy Farm Lane road and a piece of State Land separates the eastern boundary of the development from the mixed-use development of Dairy Farm Residences. There are 2 land plots in the State Land, with the northern half being currently gazetted as “utility” in the 2019 URA Master Plan, and the southern half being classified as a place of worship.

Project Details

The Botany Condo comprises of 5 Blocks of different heights. Block 3 is the highest at 15-Storey high, while Block 5 is the lowest at 9-Storey high. Block 7 is 13-Storey high and the remaining 2 towers of Block 9 and 11 are 14-Storey high.

As the development has a relatively good size of more than 150,000 square feet in site area, the development offers full condo facilities replete with a tennis court to its residents. With the relatively spacious site area, the blocks are also spaced well apart. In terms of blocks facing one another, the closest block-to-block distance is 26 metres between Block 9 and Block 11. Looking at the closest distance between the side of 1 block to the side of the other block in the development, there is a comfortable gap of 16 metres between Stack 29 of Block 11 and Stack 6 of Block 3.

With the developer having studied the demographics of the vicinity and identifying that the majority would favour purchasing a unit at The Botany for own stay, a large percentage of apartments in the condominium are 3-Bedroom and larger. The 3-Bedroom, 4-Bedroom and 5-Bedroom make up 64% of the unit mix.

The number of 3 bedroom apartments account for a large 45% in the development. Hence, in terms of floor plan types, the 3-Bedroom has the most, with a total of 7 typical layouts to choose from. As the 3-Bedroom units are designed for own stay, all 3-Bedroom would have an enclosed kitchen. For families, the kitchen is a major component. As such, families would always prefer a kitchen that would permit heavy cooking.

All kitchens for units which 3 bedroom and bigger would also incorporate a yard area next to the kitchen to allow for a dedicated space for doing laundry.

Sim Lian Group have astutely judged that there would be demand for bigger units in the primary market, and have thus allocated 57 units of 4-Bedroom and 14 units of 5-Bedroom.

The 4-Bedroom and 5-Bedroom units in the development are designed to be spacious to cater to the needs to bigger families. The kitchens for both bedroom types have both a dry kitchen and a wet kitchen. Besides the various benefits of having a dry kitchen, the presence of a dry kitchen invariably enhances the splendour of the apartment. Often seen as an extension of the living room, the dry kitchen often makes the entire living and dining area look bigger.

The floor plan of the 5 bedroom in particular facilitates multigenerational living as it has a junior master bedroom on one side of the living/dining room, and 4 bedrooms on the other side. The elderly parents can use the junior bedroom, while the younger generation can utilize the other 4 bedrooms.
