Sky Habitat Bishan: Condo Guide to Prices, Units, Location and Who It Suits
Sky Habitat is Moshe Safdie’s 509-unit Bishan condo: two 38-storey towers linked by three sky bridges, completed 2015 near Bishan MRT. Facts, psf, rents, who it suits.
Sky Habitat is probably the most recognisable condo in Bishan. Designed by Moshe Safdie, the architect behind Marina Bay Sands, its two stepped towers on Bishan Street 15 are linked by three sky bridges and can be seen from much of the town. Completed in 2015, it has 509 units and sits a short walk from Bishan MRT and Junction 8.
This Sky Habitat Bishan guide covers the verified facts, unit types, facilities, recent prices and rents, the neighbourhood and who it suits, then compares it with a new launch in the north-east, LinkTown Residences (Hougang Central Residences).

Sources: EdgeProp project page and EdgeProp news (2017, 2019), designboom (2016), accessed 29 Sep 2026. EdgeProp’s data table lists 37 storeys while its 2019 article and designboom cite 38. Distances are straight-line estimates from OneMap.
Units and facilities
According to EdgeProp, Sky Habitat’s 509 homes range from one- to four-bedroom apartments, plus simplex and duplex penthouses. The stepped design means many units have terraces or balconies, and the architects designed for cross-ventilation and multiple outlooks per home. We could not verify a published size schedule, so we have not quoted sizes.
The sky bridges are part of the facilities. EdgeProp reported in 2017 that the level 14 and 26 sky gardens include a gym, outdoor exercise area, karaoke room, movie screening room and a reading and games lounge, while the level 38 bridge has a sky pool with views across the island. At ground level, designboom describes communal gardens and a sunken car park podium.
Sky Habitat Bishan prices and rents
Based on URA caveat data compiled on EdgeProp’s project page for the latest 12 months (accessed 29 Sep 2026):
- Average resale price: about S$2,072 psf
- Range: about S$1,856 to S$2,368 psf
- Highest recorded deal: S$2,368 psf in January 2026, for a 1,216 sq ft unit
- Rents: about S$3.5 to S$6.0 psf per month, averaging about S$4.9 psf per month, an implied gross yield of about 2.8%
For context on demand, EdgeProp reported in 2017 that the project was over 80% sold as at July 2017, two years after completion. Today it trades at a clear premium to most suburban condos of its age, which reflects the design, the Bishan address and the MRT. Our psf guide explains how to compare prices fairly.
Location and amenities
Bishan is a mature, central town. By straight-line distance from OneMap points, Junction 8 is about 400 m from Sky Habitat and the Bishan–Ang Mo Kio Park (river plains side) about 1.1 km.
Schools: Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Primary is roughly 400 m away, Catholic High School (which has a primary section) about 800 m, Townsville Primary about 900 m and Raffles Institution about 950 m. Check OneMap for P1 distance bands.
Transport: Bishan is an interchange of the North-South Line and the Circle Line, so Orchard, Raffles Place and the Circle Line loop are direct or one change away. Drivers have the CTE and PIE nearby. For other Bishan options, see our Bishan condos guide and the older Bishan Park Condominium.
Pros and cons of Sky Habitat
- Pros: a landmark design with sky gardens and a sky pool; short walk to a two-line MRT interchange and Junction 8; about 84 years of lease left; strong school cluster; mid-sized at 509 units.
- Cons: higher psf than most suburban resale condos; the architectural form can mean irregular layouts in some units; maintenance of high-rise sky bridges and greenery may weigh on fees (ask the MCST); rental yield of about 2.8% is modest.
Who Sky Habitat suits
Sky Habitat suits owner-occupiers who value design and a central, well-connected town: families targeting Bishan’s schools, professionals commuting on the North-South or Circle Line, and buyers who want a distinctive home rather than a standard block. It is less of a pure-yield play.
Resale condo or new launch?
LinkTown Residences (Hougang Central Residences) is a new private condo in the north-east, on the Hougang Central mixed-use GLS site with a direct link to Hougang MRT, a new bus interchange and a roughly 300,000 sq ft mall. Hougang becomes an NEL–CRL interchange when Cross Island Line Phase 1 opens, targeted around 2030.
| Sky Habitat | LinkTown Residences | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Completed 2015; resale | New launch; sales expected early 2027 |
| Region | Bishan (Central Region) | Hougang, District 19 (OCR) |
| MRT | Bishan NS17/CC15, short walk | Direct link to Hougang NE14; future CRL |
| Price | ~S$2,072 psf (EdgeProp 12-month average) | ~S$2,500–2,600 psf (analyst estimate) |
| Move-in | On completion of purchase | Expected 2030/2031 |
The comparison is less about town and more about timing and lease: Sky Habitat is ready now, closer to the city and lower in psf, while LinkTown offers a fresh 99-year lease and an integrated hub, at an expected premium and a wait of several years. UOL’s August 2026 results guide a 2H 2027 launch; no prices have been released. Our OCR, RCR and CCR guide and new launch vs resale guide help frame the choice.
Sky Habitat figures are based on publicly reported information and transaction data as at 29 Sep 2026. LinkTown pricing is an indicative analyst estimate, not a released price.
