Spanning across 93-hectare of land space, which is approximately the size of 150 soccer fields, the Bidadari estate will be bounded by Upper Serangoon Road, Bartley Road, the Sennett Estate and also Mount Vernon Road. The whole precinct will be carved in 4 seperate districts and the largest of them all will be the Alkaff district.
Bidadari is one of only three areas targeted for residential development under the Land Use plan released by The Ministry of National Development on 31 Jan 2013, to build up to 700,000 new homes for a projected population of 6.9 million in 2030.
There are 11,000 residential homes in the pipeline for Bidadari, while Tampines North and Tengah are the other estates earmarked to be the upcoming New Towns.
Bidadari has been called “The Next Bishan”, one of the much sought after and prime residential estates in Singapore.
Bidadari is set to be transformed into a “distinctive and sustainable tranquil urban oasis”.
To that end, NParks will be building a 10ha Bidadari Park, transforming it into a peaceful retreat retaining its hilly and lush landscape, and celebrating its history and heritage. Bidadari Park will be well-connected to the HDB estates through pockets of open spaces. Part of the tree-lined Upper Aljunied Road (from Upper Serangoon Road to Vernon Park) will be converted into a heritage walk for pedestrians. It will be very pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly and have seamless connections between transport nodes and places of attraction.
To bring greater convenience to residents, a commercial development called Market Square will be built next to Woodleigh MRT station.
The first 3 public housing projects, namely Alkaff Vista, Alkaff Lakeview and Alkaff CourtView – will have a total of 2,139 homes constructed and completed between 2019 to 2020.
To fufil the estate’s vision of have a community within a garden, these projects will set to feature plenty of lush greenery and spaces for social activities, such as garden courtyards, roof gardens and veranda which caters activities for community.
Residents in the Bidadari new town will be able to experience an eco lifestyle as the estate will consist of a 10-hectare Bidadari Park, which will also house the new Alkaff Lake.
On top of that, the residents will also be facilitated with a market square within the vicinity, which will house a bus interchange and food court.
According to the HDB, the planning of such housing environment is to encourage residents within the estate to use lesser of motor vehicles and travel more by foot or cycle instead. To further promote such lifestyle, there will also be schemes such as bicycle and car-sharing provided.
Many are still eyeing to own a home in the new Bidadari estate. The planning of this new town has also sparked interest from the the private property sector,

New Condo in New Bidadari Estate
NEW BIDADARI HOMES TO SIT AMID LUSH GARDENS
Bidadari Estate is planned as a tranquil urban oasis, where residents can relax and connect with family and friends in a garden-like setting. Envisioned as “A Community in a Garden”, Bidadari Estate will feature a centrally-located 10ha Bidadari Park, which will connect to a Central Green Spine. Bidadari Park is well-connected to the residential estates through pockets of open spaces. Part of the tree-lined Upper Aljunied Road (from Upper Serangoon Road to Vernon Park) will be converted into a heritage walk for pedestrians.
Bidadari Estate will be pedestrian and cyclist friendly, with seamless connections between transport nodes, the park and commercial developments. To provide for the needs of new and existing residents, Bidadari Estate will feature a wide range of amenities including a new commercial development next to Woodleigh MRT station. A bus interchange, neighbourhood police centre and other community facilities will be located nearby. Other amenities such as places of worship and health and medical care facilities are also planned for the estate.
The upcoming housing estate will feature lush greenery and social spaces, in line with the area's vision of being "a community in a garden".
Residents in the area will be able to visit a nearby market square and walk around a scenic park and lake.
The 10ha Bidadari Park will house the new Alkaff Lake, named after the Arab family that built the Alkaff Lake Gardens in the area in 1929.
The new Bidadari housing estate will be home to Singapore's first underground air-conditioned bus interchange below Housing Board flats.
The new interchange next to Woodleigh MRT station, expected to be ready by 2019, will cater to five bus services.
It will be "tucked away and hidden from the street view", sitting below a carpark and neighbourhood garden flanked by blocks of flats, according to the HDB's plans seen by The Straits Times.
Other plans to modernise Bidadari have been announced in the past couple of years for the area that was once Singapore's largest grave site. These include an underground service reservoir, a 10ha park and a lake within the park.
The future Bidadari estate will lay claim to a unique feature - Singapore's first underground service reservoir built on low, instead of high, ground.
Holding enough water to fill three Olympic-size pools, the tank will be built beneath the town's planned park to save on surface space and keep the surroundings unmarred.
The land above it will be "integrated with the surrounding park amenities, hence optimising land", PUB has said, adding that high ground available for service reservoirs is "limited".
Top bid of S$1,110 psf ppr expected to lead to sale price of about S$1,800 psf
A RESIDENTIAL site at Woodleigh Lane near Bidadari housing estate is the latest to draw aggressive bidding.
This time, 15 bidders took part, with CEL Unique Development, a joint venture between Chip Eng Seng, Heeton and KSH, putting in the highest bid of S$700.7 million, which translates to about S$1,110 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).
Keen competition was evident, with a tight margin of 0.8 per cent between the first and second bids. The top four bids were also all neck-and-neck with a tight 3.6 per cent margin. A total of five bids came in at above S$1,000 psf ppr.
Analysts say the tender price works out to a breakeven price of S$1,500-1,600 psf, and an eventual sale price of about S$1,800 psf.
Currently, units at nearby new developments are selling at far below that. Poiz Residences and Forest Woods were both transacting at a median price of just under S$1,400 psf in May this year.
A year ago, a psf ppr price figure of above S$1,000 would have caused jaws to drop, but this is gradually becoming a norm in recent tenders.
In June, Singapore Press Holdings and Kajima Development put in a top bid that translated to S$1,181 psf ppr for a mixed-use Bidadari site.
In May, Hong Kong's Logan Property and Chinese developer Nanshan Group put in a bid that works out to S$1,050 psf ppr for a Stirling Road plot. Both this and SPH's bid carried a total quantum above S$1 billion.
Listed Chip Eng Seng and KSH said in disclosures that they plan to build a condominium comprising 16-storey residential blocks on the Woodleigh site, with a total of over 800 units.
Corson and Wingjoy Investment, units of Keppel Land and Wing Tai respectively, put in the second highest bid of S$695 million, or about S$1,101 psf ppr.
City Developments' Verwood Holdings paired up with Logan Property to put in the third highest bid of S$688.1 million, or about S$1,090 psf ppr.
Desmond Sim, head of CBRE Research, Singapore and South East Asia, called the results "unsurprising", as the site had been identified as a high-profile one from the start, being located right beside Woodleigh MRT station and within the up-and-coming Bidadari precinct.
Besides, market sentiment has been picking up for some time now, and developers have been keen to restock their land bank with key development sites in order to keep their businesses running, he said.
Ong Teck Hui, national director for research and consultancy at JLL, said: "The bidding war for residential sites has escalated further in this tender, driven by bidders' determination to secure this attractive site in a market that is potentially recovering."
Indeed, many analysts are anticipating a bottoming-out of the market at the end of this year, and for residential prices to appreciate again starting 2018.
Christine Li, director of research at Cushman & Wakefield added that the tender results show that when a choice city-fringe site is up for sale, there will be no shortage of interest.
Asked if the current land bidding behaviour will undo the effects of property cooling measures, Mr Sim from CBRE said it is difficult for the government to gauge the amount of state land to release for sale, because if it were to attempt to do so, it could easily tip the balance over and create an oversupply situation - a repeat of what happened in 2012.
"One factor that could keeps the property market in check is the resale market. If the resale market finds it hard to match its prices with those in the new home sale market, this could attract some demand going to the resale market instead in the future."
Meanwhile, aggressive bidding in land tenders has already pushed some developers into the private en bloc market.
"With the imbalance between demand for land and the number of development sites available in the government land sales programme, we will likely see more collective sales committees being formed in older estates. More developers will probably seek this avenue as an option for replenishing land banks," Mr Sim said.
At last week's Real Estate Developers' Association seminar, some industry players described the compounding effect of aggressive land bidding, saying that since there can only be one winner for a site, each tender exercise leaves a large amount of capital on the sidelines waiting to be deployed into the next land parcel, thus feeding an upward spiral.
SINGAPORE - The first private land parcel in Bidadari was awarded today to entities linked to Singapore Press Holdings and Kajima Development.
The partners had put in a top bid of $1.132 billion for the 99-year leasehold site, beating a competitive field of 12 bids.
In a press release this evening (June 21), SPH announced that it will build more than 600 private residential units on the first mixed commercial and residential land site in the new township, touted to be the next Bishan.
The 2.54 hectare land parcel next to Woodleigh MRT was hotly contested, as the site is slated o be a landmark project in the popular Bidadari estate.
An SPH spokeswoman said that other than the residential units, there will be a 65,000 sq ft community clu b and a 20,000 sq ft neighbourhood police centre, which were requirements of the tender, as well as a 310,000 sq ft retail and commercial component.
Mr Alan Chan, chief executive of SPH, highlighted the company's experience in developing upmarket residential condominium Sky@Eleven, as well as three malls - Paragon, The Clementi Mall and The Seletar Mall.
"This strategic move shows our commitment in expanding and enhancing our property portfolio," he said, adding that the company's past experience and expertise, strong partnership with Kajima and the site's potential are "winning factors that will contribute to the success of this project."
