Sky Habitat condo

CapitaLand’s iconic Sky Habitat condominium (pictured) in Bishan Central is expected to be ready soon with the 38-storey development now towering above other buildings in the area.

Designed by renowned international architect Moshe Safdie, a key selling point is its futuristic design which includes a rooftop swimming pool offering views of Bishan Park and the city, and three sky bridges connecting the two tower blocks.

The 99-year leasehold project comprises 509 apartments of two- to four-bedrooms as well as one-bedroom + study and two-bedroom + study units, with sizes ranging from about 680 to 3,000 sq ft. The floor area is reportedly much bigger than typical developments nowadays, making it ideal for large families.

Located near Bishan MRT station and Junction 8 shopping mall, Sky Habitat was relaunched a year ago to make it more attractive to price-sensitive buyers and investors. Read more > Slashed prices at Sky Habitat’s relaunch draws buyers

Based on recent caveat data, units have been transacted at around $1,365 psf compared to transacted prices of around $1,580 psf when it was first launched in 2012, making it the most expensive suburban condominium at the time.
