If you are setting your sights on Redhill Peaks, you are aiming for one of the most prestigious public housing addresses in Singapore. This “Prime” project consists of three iconic towers reaching up to 49 storeys, making it a landmark on the city skyline. Given its “Prime” status, it is built for long-term residency, with a 10-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) and a significant 12% subsidy clawback.
Redhill Peaks is the premier “Prime” model development of the February 2026 BTO launch, featuring soaring 49-storey towers located just 5 minutes from Redhill MRT and the iconic Redhill Market. It offers unparalleled city-fringe convenience and potential views of the Greater Southern Waterfront, though it requires a 10-year commitment and a significant 12% subsidy clawback upon resale.
Transport
Unlike other projects in this launch, Redhill Peaks is a true “commuter’s dream.” It is located just a five-minute walk from Redhill MRT station (East-West Line). From there, you are only three stops from Outram Park (interchange for the North-East and Thomson-East Coast lines) and four stops from Raffles Place.
For drivers, the site provides immediate access to Jalan Bukit Merah and the AYE, though you should be prepared for heavy peak-hour congestion given the density of the area.
Site Layout
The site layout of Redhill Peaks is designed to maximise the verticality of its prime city-fringe location, featuring three iconic residential towers that soar between 40 and 49 storeys. Bounded by Redhill Close and Jalan Bukit Merah, the layout focuses on high-density urban living balanced by elevated communal spaces.
The development consists of three main residential blocks: 144A, 144B, and 145A.
- Total Units: 1,052 (comprising 2-room Flexi, 3-room, and 4-room flats).
Most units are oriented in a North-South direction, which is ideal for cross-ventilation and minimising exposure to the harsh afternoon sun.
Because the footprint of the site is relatively compact, HDB has utilised vertical space to provide greenery and recreation. Sky terraces are located on the 19th and 39th floors (Block 144A) and the 39th floor (Blocks 144B and 145A). These terraces offer all residents—even those on lower floors—access to panoramic views of the city and the Greater Southern Waterfront.
The 7-storey Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) features a lush rooftop garden that includes a running track, fitness stations, and a community garden, acting as a secondary social hub.
Unit Selection
With BTO towers reaching 49 storeys, the unit you pick will drastically change your living experience.
Best views, choose high-floor units (above the 35th floor) facing South/South-East. These will offer spectacular, unblocked views towards the Greater Southern Waterfront and the sea. North-facing units on high floors will look towards the lush greenery of the Botanic Gardens and the Dempsey area.
Redhill Peaks Fengshui
For Redhill Peaks, a fengshui analysis is particularly vital because the site sits on a highly “energetic” landform. This project is part of the Western Dragon formation, often described by practitioners as sitting near the “Dragon’s Head.” In fengshui, energy at the head of a dragon is fresh and potent but can be intense—best suited for those with ambitious, resilient personalities looking for career breakthroughs.
With Singapore entering Period 9 (2024–2043), the fire element and the South direction dominate the luck cycle. Here is a breakdown of the best stacks and units based on landform and directional alignment:
1. For Wealth: South-Facing Units
In Period 9, the South is the most auspicious direction. Stacks that face South are considered the “front” of the energy flow, tapping into the governing luck of the current 20-year cycle.
Look for high-floor units in Block 144A and Block 144B that face toward the Greater Southern Waterfront. These units benefit from the “Red Phoenix” formation—having a wide, unblocked view (the “Bright Hall”) that allows positive Qi to gather before entering the home.
2. For Health and Stability: North-Facing Units
North is the second most auspicious direction for Period 9. These units are excellent for those seeking a balance between career success and family harmony.
High-floor units in Block 145A facing toward the Alexandra and Tanglin areas. These units often enjoy a cooler environment as they avoid the direct afternoon West sun, which in fengshui is linked to “excessive fire” that can cause irritability or health issues.
3. Possible ‘Sha Qi’ Stacks
“Sha Qi” or negative energy often comes from external “poison arrows” or environmental disturbances.
Lower-floor units in Block 144B and 145A (specifically Stacks 117, 119, 121, 123, 139, and 141) face the 7-storey Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) may experience sound and light ‘Sha Qi’. These may come in the form of noise from tyres and the glare of headlights - all of which can disrupt the “tranquil Qi” of a home.
If you must choose these stacks, aim for the 10th floor and above to rise above the physical height of the car park.
Also, units directly facing the junction of Jalan Bukit Merah and Redhill Close may experience “rushing Qi” from the fast-moving traffic. High-quality soundproofing or heavy curtains can help “dampen” this energy.
Noise from Roads
Because the project is sandwiched between two major thoroughfares—Jalan Bukit Merah and Redhill Close—traffic noise is a significant concern. Stacks 117, 119, 121, and 123 (lower floors) are particularly exposed to the noise and headlight glare of the main road. If you prefer quiet, aim for units facing the internal courtyard or the 7-storey Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP), which acts as a noise shield.
Schools
Families balloting for Redhill Peaks will find themselves in one of Singapore’s most established educational hubs. The standout feature of this site is its immediate proximity to Gan Eng Seng Primary School, which is essentially right next door. This provides a massive advantage for the Primary 1 Registration Exercise, as the development falls comfortably within the crucial 1km radius, granting residents top-tier priority.
Primary Schools
For the Primary 1 school registration, distance is the most critical factor. Here are the schools you should note:
- Gan Eng Seng Primary School (Within 1km)
- Zhangde Primary School (Within 1km)
- Alexandra Primary School (Within 1-2km)
- Queenstown Primary School (Within 2km)
- Radin Mas Primary School (Within 2km)
Secondary Schools
As your children grow, the area offers a smooth transition to reputable secondary institutions, many of which are within walking distance or a short commute:
- Bukit Merah Secondary School
- Gan Eng Seng School
- Crescent Girls’ School
- Queenstown Secondary School
Preschools and Childcare
For those with toddlers, you won’t need to look far. Redhill Peaks itself will house an on-site preschool integrated into the multi-storey car park. There are also established centres nearby, such as PCF Sparkletots at Radin Mas and several private childcare options along Alexandra Road and Redhill Close.
The abundance of high-quality schools within such a small radius is a major reason why Redhill Peaks is classified as a “Prime” project. It ensures that your children can enjoy a seamless educational journey from preschool through to secondary school without long commutes.
Redhill Future Transformation (2036 and Beyond)
By the time your 10-year MOP ends in the late 2030s, your property will sit at the gateway of the Greater Southern Waterfront (GSW). This massive urban transformation will have replaced the nearby port terminals with a new coastal district twice the size of Punggol, filled with waterfront promenades, commercial hubs, and entertainment zones.
Additionally, the Bukit Merah Town Centre is slated for a full “Remaking Our Heartland” makeover, which will include a new sheltered Town Plaza and enhanced cycling paths connecting your doorstep directly to the Rail Corridor.
