The Pasir Ris 8 Insider

  Pasir Ris will see population growth with new housing options in the coming years. This augurs well for us who stay here now as new housing and new residents will help drive up our property value! I believe the future land prices will not be cheap.     The old bus interchange will be redeveloped into new homes which can "accommodate about 580 to 650 condominium units, with about 18,000 sq m to 23,000 sq m of retail space."  "Based on the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA) Draft Master Plan 2025, the homes will be built on a plot about 2.9ha in size – equivalent to the area of four football fields – that has been zoned for housing, with commercial use on the first storey. In addition, the Government is studying plans for a new neighbourhood in the town, to be located next to Sungei Loyang on a site that is currently largely vegetated."  Source:  https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/housing/pasir-ris-to-get-more-homes-next-to-mrt-statio...

       When I was selecting my unit to buy, I did a study looking at the site plan, street directory/google maps to see which are the better units.   See the image with some of my notes inserted.   For views of the sea (pocket views through flats in front) and park greenery , look for units facing northwards. See the yellow lines which I marked out. These units have better privacy with less units opposite them. Insider tip: While stack 60-63 seem nice with almost unblocked views looking across the pool, they face the BBQ pits (marked 21,22 on image). If you don't mind smelling nice BBQ smoke, the views are nice. IMO, I would pick Stack 10 with some sea views   For quieter facing with less traffic noise , the inner facing (face the swimming pool side) tends to be quieter because they face away from the roads. Stacks 41, 30, 31, 21 are bigger 3 to 4 room units are best in terms of quietness with some views inwards.   I picked an inner faci...

  很多人误以为巴西立偏远且不方便，其实这是一个误解。随着巴西立8的推出，这个东部社区正逐渐走到聚光灯下——原因如下： 1. 超便利的生活方式 想象一下，家门口步行五分钟内，就有两条地铁线、巴士转换站，以及两座大型购物商场。巴西立8是新加坡少有的综合发展项目之一，将便捷的交通网络与超过300家商铺和餐饮选择无缝结合。不论晴天雨天，日常所需可轻易满足。 2. 人口密度更低的市中心 尽管位置优越，巴西立的人口密度却比附近的淡滨尼、勿洛要低。这里的建筑普遍限制在10至13层之间，相比那些超过20层的高密度住宅区，居民拥有更多的生活空间。这意味着更少的拥挤与更高的宁静感——即使在周末也如此。 3. 自然就在家门口 巴西立公园占地超过70万平方米，绵延三公里，非常适合慢跑、骑行或家庭野餐。不久后，一座新桥将直接把巴西立8与公园及海滩相连——步行只需约十分钟。附近还有小贩中心、体育综合设施、国家图书馆，甚至钓鱼池。 4. 宽敞灵活的户型设计 在公寓面积日益缩小的趋势下，巴西立8反其道而行。三房和四房单位的主卧空间宽敞，户型布局也可灵活调整以适应不同的生活方式。没有尴尬的飘窗或浪费空间，只有实用又宜居的设计。 5. 顶尖开发商打造 由建筑巨头和合建筑集团（Woh Hup）支持的宏利地产（Allgreen）负责开发，确保高品质建造和周到规划。他们的项目多次获得建设局（BCA）奖项，为业主带来高质量的居所保障。 总的来说，巴西立8号不仅仅是一座公寓——它融合了便利、舒适、自然与品质，而且价格极具吸引力。你怎么看？这会不会是东部最值得期待的秘密？

I discovered some interesting observations when comparing Pasir Ris 8 against other RCR condos on the east side. The table below shows the travel times using public transport to 2 popular destinations - Orchard and Raffles place. The data was generated using Google Maps, setting the start-off time at  8am on Monday 8 Sep 25. The condo average sale price per square foot (psf) was taken from EdgeProp as of 7 September 2025.  Interesting Observations Among all the condos above, Pasir Ris 8 is located furthest from the 2 destinations. But here are some of my interesting findings. 1. Travel times to Raffles place is almost similar for all the condos. Only a 6 mins variation among the slowest and fastest time. Traveling from Pasir Ris 8 takes 39 mins vs the fastest time of 33 mins from the Continuum. But you have to pay $800 psf more for 6 mins of time saving. Is the price worth it? 2. Only Pasir Ris 8 gives residents a direct MRT line to Raffles place, City hall due to the Green e...

  The Green Premium: Nature raises housing prices From EdgeProp news. Jul 3 2025 Research also shows that exposure to nature has been linked to a host of benefits, such as the better mental health. For example, forest bathing, which involves slow and mindful walks through a wooded area helps to reduce stress and promotes relaxation. “  Our analysis of the average resale prices of 99-year leasehold condos near Jurong Lake Gardens,  East Coast Park , Rifle Range Nature Park, and Bedok Reservoir Park indicates that resale condos also benefit from being near nature. The combined average resale price of such condos within a 1km radius of these parks is higher than that of their counterparts located within a 2km radius.” Interesting read with data and comparisons.
