Three things to know.
CDL solo development
City Developments Limited is one of Singapore's largest property developers, with a multi-decade pipeline of OCR launches. The Myst is on a 99-year leasehold site at 800 Upper Bukit Timah Road, designed by ADDP Architects. CDL's recent OCR product (Piccadilly Grand, Tembusu Grand, Newport Residences) provides reference points for build quality.
Bukit Timah Nature Reserve adjacency
The development sits at the doorstep of the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, with the Rail Corridor and Dairy Farm Nature Park within walking distance. The 24-storey tower's upper floors overlook the rainforest canopy. The brand thesis is "misty mornings in Bukit Timah", a nature-adjacent positioning rare in modern Singapore launches.
Cashew MRT four minutes away
Cashew MRT (Downtown Line, DT2) is approximately 4 minutes on foot. The DTL provides direct access to Bugis, Promenade, and Bayfront. Hillview MRT one stop south serves the Bukit Panjang Plaza and HillV2 retail clusters. Launch weekend (8-9 July 2023) cleared 110 units (27%) at an average $2,057 psf, with starting prices from $1,862 psf.

FAQ
What buyers ask.
Q01Is The Myst still available from the developer?
Yes, primary inventory remains. The project is 93.4% sold per EdgeProp's project page at a weighted average $2,060 psf. Launch weekend (8-9 July 2023) cleared 110 units (27%) at $2,057 psf with starting prices from $1,862 psf. Remaining inventory skews toward larger configurations.
Q02How does The Myst compare to Hillhaven, the closest 2024 neighbour?
The Myst (408 units, Jul 2023, $2,060 psf weighted avg, CDL solo, Upper Bukit Timah Road) and Hillhaven (341 units, Jan 2024, $2,153 psf weighted avg, Far East-Sekisui House, Hillview Rise) both anchor the Hillview-Bukit Panjang nature-adjacent corridor. The Myst's Cashew MRT walk and CDL solo execution differ from Hillhaven's Hillview MRT walk and three-party consortium.
Q03Why is The Myst at a single 24-storey tower?
The site geometry on 800 Upper Bukit Timah Road supports a single-tower configuration. Upper floors deliver Bukit Timah Nature Reserve canopy views, the brand thesis is 'misty mornings in Bukit Timah'. The 408-unit single-tower format is unusual among 2023 OCR launches; ADDP Architects designed it for the nature-frontage thesis.
Q04What is the school catchment for The Myst?
CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace is the nearest primary within 1km. Bukit Panjang Primary, Lianhua Primary, and Assumption English School fall within the broader catchment. German European School Singapore is the international school anchor.
Q05Who is the developer behind The Myst?
The Myst is solely developed by City Developments Limited (CDL) via the legal SPV CDL Aries Pte Ltd. CDL is one of Singapore's largest property developers; recent launches include Piccadilly Grand (2022), Tembusu Grand (2023), and Newport Residences (2024). Architecture by ADDP Architects.
