Published: 16 Jan 2025
Home to the one of the priciest resale HDB flats, City Vue @ Henderson is a replacement site for the Redhill Close Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) project. This relatively new housing project reaches MOP this year, and has seen a number of million-dollar flat transactions.
Wondering if City Vue @ Henderson is worth the hefty price tag? The philosophy of Tian (天) Di (地) Ren (人) in fengshui emphasises on choosing the right place, with the right person, at the right time, so as to achieve balance.
Let’s take an in-depth home fengshui review on this MOP-ed housing development to assess its fengshui qualities beyond its ideal location. Read on!
City Vue @ Henderson: Landform Fengshui
Located at the junction of Tiong Bahru and Henderson Road, City Vue @ Henderson sits in the precinct of Bukit Merah, in Singapore’s district 3. This relatively new resale housing estate sits on the Western Dragon and falls in the fengshui land formation of the “Land of Buffaloes”.
It is believed that the “Land of Buffaloes” houses two buffaloes that fled from Tiong Bahru due to the nearby formation of ”Combination of Four Animals”. Buffaloes are known for their diligence and this quality is reflected in the residents staying in this area. In the face of pressure, they would perform better and display strong determination too.
Exterior fengshui considerations
As one’s external environment accounts for more than interior considerations, it is important to consider features of the surrounding space when selecting a resale flat.
In terms of convenience, City Vue @ Henderson is near to many facilities and amenities in the mature estate where it is adjacent to Tiong Bahru Park, a short walk to Redhill MRT station and the neighbourhood centre that comes with a market and hawker centre.
Nevertheless, this convenient estate at the city’s fringe is also densely populated and crowded. At City Vue @ Henderson, the stacks within each block are built quite close together, so it’s important for potential homeowners to take note of sharp edges pointed towards your potential home, as these are conflict points that are not ideal for fengshui. Affected homeowners or potential resale buyers should consider seeking advice from a professional fengshui practitioner.
One of the best features of City Vue @ Henderson is the spectacular views on the higher floor units, as its name suggests. When analysing a residence, fengshui practitioners tailor their recommendations according to the fengshui principle of accumulating auspicious energies (藏风纳气). A higher floor unit definitely reduces the likelihood of encountering negative forces. However, there are challenges to accumulating auspicious energies.
On the other hand, lower floor units (stack 2, 14, 18, 32, 34, 44, 66, 68) that are located near/ directly face the multi-storey car park (MSCP) are susceptible to Sound Sha [声煞] and Light Sha [光煞]. This could cause disturbances to daily life such as insomnia. The MSCP at City Vue @ Henderson are 4/5 storey tall, so those at the mentioned units may want to take note of this and consider installing a window blind or curtains if you have yet to do so.
Internal fengshui considerations

Did you know that the main orientation of your house will directly influence the overall luck of your household member(s)? The house orientation refers to the facing of your house, which can be measured from the main entrance where qi flows in.

City Vue @ Henderson comprises 5 residential blocks ranging from 27, 40, and 48 storeys. In total, there are 1,232 units of 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-room flats.
Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in Period 9 and Period 1 (years 2024 – 2063), followed by Northwest and Southeast. We have identified the Period 9 Auspicious Homes below. Do you live in any of these units?
Several units at City Vue @ Henderson face North/South, which is ideal in terms of home fengshui in the current Period 9 and Period 1. To further enhance one’s luck cycle during these periods, residents can display emblems with the Water element, such as a water feature to “cool” your home. Take note to avoid Fire-related designs.
While there is no fixed lucky direction that caters to everyone, existing homeowners of units facing East/West or aspiring resale flat buyers may want to seek further opinions.
Also, if your main door faces your neighbour’s main door, do display a round light in between the two doors, or hang a Super 5 Shield at the top of your door frame. From a home fengshui viewpoint, conflicting energies between both households may arise and affect harmony if two main entrances face each other directly.

Did you know?
Events and happenings within a space create energy vibrations that can either be positive or negative. These are not limited to indoor spaces, but could also be infused into the estate that you plan to live in. Hence, it makes sense to understand the history of your to-be neighbourhood, especially recent happenings that could leave traces of remnant energies.
Prior to selecting a resale flat, take a walk in the estate and take note of the features of surrounding buildings that may harbour threats of negative influences or hinder ventilation within your home. The main idea is to garner and ensure the smooth flow of positive Qi (energy) within your new home while avoiding Sha Qi (negative energies).
Sha Qi in the environment surrounding your home can manifest into loss of wealth, accidents, and sickness. If there are sharp edges pointed towards your potential home, then it is best to consider another unit or seek advice from a professional fengshui practitioner.
Also, established residential estates contain stronger ground energies than newer ones. Mixing old and new house developments together will allow newer estates to “absorb” the land’s energies at a faster rate.
Built on the former location of Blocks 95 and 96 of Henderson Road, City Vue @ Henderson is nestled within a well-established estate at the city’s fringe. This is favourable in terms of fengshui, and there is potential for this relatively new residential development to flourish together with its neighbours.
Thrive in Period 9 with good home fengshui
The central location of City Vue @ Henderson has its pros and cons. Beyond its hefty price, this relatively new development has good fengshui potential but units that are facing the less favourable directions of Period 9 would require further analysis.
