THE RAINTREE

The Raintree is a leasehold condominium located at Bukit Drive, Hindhede Road off Upper Bukit Timah Road. The Raintree is designed with the utmost respect for its surroundings. The landscape is like a natural extension of the rainforest, with lush foliage and boulder accents. Private niches scattered around the apartment blocks invite you to take time out and reconnect with your inner self. Taking centre stage is the landscaped upper deck garden, carved out of a hilly contour. Complete with koi-filled ponds, it will lull you into a state of meditative calm.

Enjoy this scape of tranquillity from within the apartments of The Raintree too. The extensive use of glass in place of expected walls brings Nature right into your home with magnificent views of the landscape and the Reserve. Even the sleek glass and steel architecture is imbued with a touch of Nature, with details such as wooden trellises and planter boxes.

Feel free to explore Nature's myriad fascinations, right in your backyard of The Raintree. A protected sanctuary, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is home to more than 1,150 species of plants and over 500 species of animals, including mammals, birds, butterflies, reptiles, amphibians and fishes.
