SkyTerrace@Dawson is probably one of the best HDBs you can stay in without feeling like it is an HDB at all.
And personally, I find that to be extremely appealing.
SkyTerrace@Dawson is 758unit development made up of five towers of 40 to 43 storeys that sit atop a parking podium. One of its key features is the multigenerational units where each studio apartment is fitted with a connecting door that opens into the upper level of a four or fiveroom loft flat. The 65 multigenerational units enable ageing parents and their children to live beside each other while affording them privacy.The 179 highceiling loft units, suitable as home offices, are another key feature of the development.
From its unique, awardwinning architecture, to the lush greenery, huge lawn and its unparalleled connectivity to the park connector, SkyTerrace@Dawson does bring a new level of family living like no other HDB.
Sure, it’s one of the priciest HDBs available for sale in the market right now, but for those who value a high quality of living while enjoying a central location with a sufficient amount of living space in a relatively new block, there are simply not that many options to choose from in the area.
I particularly like the southfacing stacks 06, 16, 14, 24 and 22. It takes full advantage of the roof garden and lawn. In addition, it’s about 100m away from the opposite HDB at Strathmore Green, so residents can enjoy a feeling of exclusivity here.
In addition to the new hawker centre from the completion of the BTOs at Dawson Site A and B, site A would bring in 19 shops, a supermarket, an education centre, a student care centre and an RC centre. Site B will bring in 3 shops, a minimart, a childcare centre as well as a senior citizen centre.
Residents can also look forward to a soontobecompleted 200metre long ecocorridor called the Dawson Community Ecocorridor (DCE) on top of an old 10metre wide stretch of Margaret Drive, just in front of blocks 89 – 91.
After all, it is conveniently at Queenstown, one of the more peaceful and familyfriendly estates (while still being very central) – making it one of the most soughtafter HDB properties in Singapore.
And let’s not forget, it is designed by the esteemed SCDA architects – the brains behind icons like the Marq, Leedon Residence , the upcoming Rivière , and to move further out of Singapore – the stunning
On the same level (19th floor) is the Sky Garden. This one in particular is at block 90.
Every block has several Sky Gardens on various floors – the highest being floor 34. Given each block has multiple Sky Gardens and every block has access to one, it doesn’t really get crowded here most of the time.
The 3storey carpark. It has 359 parking lots to 758 units which is a close 1 lot to 2 unit ratio
