Located a mere 5 to 7-min walk from Cashew MRT, this exceptional accessibility grants residents seamless connectivity to various key MRT stations along the Downtown Line. The Downtown Line is frequently referred to as the “game-changer” for public transport in Singapore, from Bayfront to Beauty World, Botanic Gardens to Bugis, and Chinatown to Little India. Via the Downtown Line, residents can effortlessly access these bustling hubs, extending all the way to Tampines in the East.
With future expansion of the Downtown Line in the near future, this will further enhance the convenience of The Myst’s location, positioning residents at an even more advantageous point. With upcoming developments in the pipeline, residents can anticipate an even more seamless and efficient transportation network, providing enhanced connectivity and accessibility to various parts of Singapore.

This connects residents to the LRT line, as well as buses that will take them across Singapore easily.

North-south facing units are highly sought after in Singapore due to their numerous advantages.
These units enjoy the benefit of being shielded from direct sunlight throughout the day, resulting in a cooler and more comfortable living environment. Additionally, the wind direction in Singapore makes these units naturally more breezy, enhancing ventilation and airflow.
With all the units at The Myst positioned in this desirable orientation, it ensures that every unit is a great choice, and that there are essentially no bad units per se at The Myst.
All units at The Myst condo offer unobstructed views, allowing residents to enjoy privacy and immerse themselves in the lush greenery that surrounds the area, especially on the higher floors.
Moreover, as the two blocks of The Myst do not overlap, some stacks will even enjoy dual views.
One of the advantages of purchasing a unit at The Myst lies in its inclusion of high-quality fittings and fixtures throughout the development. Buyers can take delight in knowing that every unit is equipped with bathroom fittings from esteemed brands such as Geberit, Kohler, Hansgrohe, and Franke. Furthermore, the kitchen appliances at The Myst are sourced from trusted names like Bosch and Smeg.

Smart air conditioning and lighting controls enable residents to create personalised and energy-efficient environments tailored to their preferences.
While the 2 blocks of residential units at the condo development make up 25% of its total land area, the other 75% is made up of its facilities and landscaping.
According to past statistics, District 23 is one of the best performing districts in the OCR in terms of annual growth.
The developers behind The Myst are CDL, which has been consistently ranked among the best condo developers in Singapore. Since their inception in 1963, CDL has a stellar track record for delivering high-quality residential, commercial, and hospitality properties across the region.
For those seeking a home in a more centrally-located area, The Myst is probably not going to be among their top choices.
While The Myst is located in District 23, home to numerous nature parks and GCBs, it is still far further into the North-West areas of Singapore. Its location may be a turn-off to working professionals who are seeking to live in or nearer the core central regions where their offices and lifestyle revolves around.
Aside from Cashew MRT Station, while Bukit Panjang Integrated Transport Hub is within walking distance, it is still 10 mins away, of which most people will probably use public transport or drive to get there.
The recent successful launches of condominiums in the North-West areas of Singapore, such as The Botany at Dairy Farm and The Reserve Residences, have garnered strong interest and enthusiastic response from buyers. The Botany at Dairy Farm by Sino Group, for instance, achieved an impressive feat by selling nearly half of its 386 units at an average price of S$2,070 per square foot during its launch weekend in March. Similarly, in May, The Reserve Residences, developed by Far East Organization and Sino Group, achieved a remarkable sales rate, with 71 percent of its 732 units being sold during the launch weekend at an average price of S$2,460 per square foot.
These successful launches in the vicinity of The Myst indicate a thriving and high-demand market in the North-West areas. Given the proximity of The Myst to these recent condominium developments, it is expected that the demand for units at The Myst will be equally strong. The allure of the North-West region, coupled with the exceptional quality, desirable location, and outstanding features offered by The Myst, creates a compelling investment opportunity. Prospective buyers can expect the demand for The Myst to be substantial, mirroring the trend observed in the recent successful launches in the area.
When it comes to The Myst, you either love it or hate it. The most defining factor that puts you on the shorter end of the stick is if you are one who wants to be in a more centrally-located area with amenities in walking distance.
On the other hand, if you are one who doesn’t mind living a little further away from the city in the North-west areas of Singapore, The Myst is perfect for you. Aside from having to walk a little further or taking public transport to the nearby amenities surrounding you, The Myst will surely enhance your lifestyles in other areas, such as its top quality condo facilities and home fittings. On top of that, with all units being north-south facing with unblocked views, all residents will be able to enjoy breezy homes with full privacy.
Furthermore, the expected price tag is slated to be highly attractive to the average Singapore resident, with indicative prices starting from $1,862 psf and half of its total units being priced at the ‘sweet spot’ of S$1.5 million and under.
With all these combined, we definitely see The Myst as one of the most exciting launches of 2023.
