Published: 7 Sept 2026
Tucked along Bukit Batok West Avenue 8 next to Lumina Grand, Altura is a 99-year leasehold Executive Condominium (EC) that sold 61.1% of its 360 units on launch day in 2023. Being the first EC to hit the Bukit Batok market in over two decades, its strategic location near Tengah town, Jurong Innovation District and numerous reputable schools is just one of the reasons for its popularity.
With Altura EC gaining its TOP (Temporary Occupation Permit) recently, let’s explore how its orientation and layout stack up for your prosperity and peace of mind. Read on for our in-depth fengshui review on Altura EC.
Landform fengshui: Altura EC in District 23 (D23)
In Singapore, the Five Dragon Landform Fengshui harnesses “hidden dragons”, which are man-made structures that channel energy flow. From the lens of fengshui, roads act as “dragon veins”, skyscrapers as “mountain dragons” offering stability and waterways serve as wealth-attracting “water dragons”.
The five auspicious dragons, namely Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern and Central, along with the Singapore and Kallang Rivers, converge to drive the city’s growth and prosperity, with each dragon influencing a region’s success.
Located along Bukit Batok West Avenue 8, Altura EC sits near the tail of the Western Dragon, a fengshui location known for its dynamic, shifting energies. The Dragon’s Tail symbolises movement, transformation and the need for resilience in the face of change.
This area’s Qi flow can be unpredictable, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It rewards residents who are bold, adaptable and determined. If you can stay flexible and keep your inner resolve steady, you shall be able to ride out the ups and downs and turn setbacks into breakthroughs.
Fengshui formation of Altura EC in D23
Altura EC falls within the fengshui formation of “Strong Dragon Rearing its Head”. This fengshui land formation was created as a result of the dragon’s flight being obstructed by Bukit Panjang Hill and Bukit Timah Hill.
This indicates that this land is suitable for public housing or government offices but not so for industrial estates. People with strong characters may consider residing in Bukit Batok, as you shall be able to prosper along with the “strong dragon”. In fact, this is a suitable residential area for young and healthy people who are seeking success.
Nevertheless, those who are mentally weak may feel oppressed under the influence of the strong-willed and ambitious dragon. Dark colours and metallic furniture should be avoided in the house, while red and bright colours are recommended.
The scenic landscape in Bukit Batok makes it favourable for those in the arts and literary field, while the dragon’s strong ambitions and outstanding capabilities imply great success.
Exterior fengshui considerations

Strategically located near Bukit Batok’s established amenities, the rapidly-developing Tengah Town and Jurong Innovative District, Altura EC’s proximity to nature offers residents the best of both worlds: nature and convenience to amenities and services.
This recently completed private residence sits across the road from Bukit Batok Hillside Park, with Bukit Gombak and the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve also in its vicinity.
In fengshui, mountains govern luck, health and family harmony. Having these elevated features behind or framing the wider sector can represent a reliable Black Tortoise “backing”, which provides residents with strong support and emotional stability. However, further analysis will be required for each unit to affirm this.
Altura sits amid a mix of neighbours, from established HDB blocks to private condominiums like Lumina Grand, placing it within a well-rounded residential enclave. However, some units may feel the pinch of proximity, with homes close to the road, particularly near the basement carpark entrance and facades facing uncomfortably close to the neighbouring tower.
Take note that nearby high-rise buildings can present risks such as Tian Zhan Sha (天崭煞), where a home’s frontage faces an opening between two or more structures that funnels negative energy, or Corner Sha (角煞), where sharp building corners create hidden threats or oppressive energy. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to consult a professional fengshui practitioner.
On a more positive note, families with school-age children will benefit from the convenience of having several esteemed educational institutions in the vicinity. This includes Princess Elizabeth Primary, Dazhong Primary, Swiss Cottage Secondary, Dulwich College and Millennia Institute. For those who are wondering. Altura EC is also within 1km from Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) come 2030.
However, Bukit View Primary School sits directly across the road from Altura EC, making it the most convenient choice for parents and schoolchildren. Stay mindful of noise and heavy traffic during peak hours and active school hours, though. To prepare for noise disturbances at home, residents can consider soundproofing solutions when conducting renovations. This is especially so for Stack 01, 04, 05 and 08 that overlook Bukit Batok West Avenue 5.
Positioned near the cross junction between Bukit Batok West Avenue 5 and Bukit Batok West Avenue 8, lower-floor units at Stack 4 can also expect noise pollution (噪音). Junction roads can be potential landform obstructions that bring Sha Qi. At Altura, there seems to be some buffer with landscaping that can hopefully help to slow the flow of Qi.
Internal fengshui considerations
Homeowners should bear in mind the main orientation of your house, as it 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.
Tip: Did you know a physical Luopan (fengshui compass) is much more sensitive to the Qi, energy of the house, than a digital compass? Use our Free Way Almanac App to estimate the direction of your house! Also, consider a professional fengshui Master to optimise your home direction.

Altura EC comprises 360 premium residential units in 6 blocks of 15 storeys. This recently TOP-ed EC offers 3 Bedroom Premium + Study units to 5 Bedroom Premium units.
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 categorised the units at Altura under the Period 9 Auspicious Home Ranking chart as listed below.
If your unit faces Northwest or Southeast, congratulations, as these are favourable directions in the current fengshui Period. Unfortunately, most stacks at Altura don’t share this luck.
Many units also have their main doors facing directly opposite their neighbours’, which can indicate conflicting energies. We strongly recommend a professional fengshui consultation for an accurate reading and the right mitigations.

Way Fengshui provides professional residential fengshui services with the ultimate aim of helping you to create a harmonious environment in your new home.
Did you know?
Period 9 corresponds with the South, representing a strong Fire element. As such, be mindful of locating important spaces within your premises. For example, it is best to make adjustments if your stove (also of the fire element) is facing South; otherwise, too much fire energy can cause instability and burnout for members in the household.
In fengshui, the stove represents “the female owner of the house”. As such, the state of the stove in your house represents the condition of your mother or wife. If your stove happens to face South, you are highly recommended to consult a professional fengshui master for appropriate fengshui measures.
As for those who are planning to conduct home renovation or move in, don’t forget to choose an auspicious date before you proceed. The information is readily available at the Way Almanac App, and it’s free for all to download!
