Imagine a residence with the space of a mansion, the skyline view of a high-rise building and the facilities of a luxurious condominium. That’s what you’ll get at the Marq on Paterson Hill. Taking high-end living to another level, this newcomer in the prime districts of Singapore is your dream come true.
Space is a given when it comes to The Marq. Forget about those so called luxurious condominiums that are very often just cramped units stacked in the air. The generous people behind The Marq bring to you two different layouts – the signature tower with 6000 sq ft units and the premier tower with 3000 sq ft. They were also clever enough to put in 6.5m double volume space across living and dining rooms. We are serious when we call The Marq mansions in the sky. On top of all that space, you enjoy true luxury in terms of the elegant design and sheer decadence. The Marq is the only development in Singapore that boasts a private 15m lap pool in each unit. Lined on the balcony, you can take a dip while gazing at uninterrupted 180 degrees panoramic view of the Orchard skyline. Now this is luxury.
You don’t pay only for the design; you also pay for the neighborhood. Which is the crème de la crème of high end living in Singapore. Paterson Hill has long hailed as the most exquisite of all districts, even among prime living areas, it is considered the best. Only developers with impeccable taste able to attract the posh crowds start a project here. As such, if you move into The Marq, you’ll be living among some of the coolest and most accomplished people in Singapore. Furthermore, all around you are sophisticated condominiums and private residences, secluded from the hustle and bustle of the world outside like a mini paradise of luxurious living. Yet Paterson Hill is so easily accessible. You are connected to the rest of Singapore through expressways just beyond the neighborhood. A short drive takes you to Raffles Place and Orchard Road is within walking distance. Everything is a breeze!
Trust us when we say life’s very, very good at The Marq. What more can you ask for when you live right beside Orchard Road, the shopping and dining haven? The shopaholic in you would be glad to know that a stroll takes you to all your favorite brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, DKNY, Armani and more! To give those sore legs a break after an intensive shopping session, you could relax at 5-star hotel lounges, try some of the high tea paraphernalia at Hilton, it is heaven. Dinner could be a very difficult decision, prime ribs at Lawry’s, buffet at Carousel, sushi at Aoki all call out to your taste buds. Everyone needs a break from the crazy stress these days. Living at Paterson Hill means you could get one anytime. There are so many spas in the vicinity, we personally recommend Comfort Space at Paragon for a relaxing massage followed by a French manicure. All these right in the neighborhood; you live life to the fullest when you live at The Marq!
Join the ranks of the elite and posh and move into The Marq now! Contact Keith, our professional realtor at keith@singaporeprimedistricts.com for more information on The Marq and other luxurious developments!
Everyone knows where Orchard Boulevard is. But not any Tom, Dick or Harry could live here. Reserved for only the rich and elite, this exclusive stretch of downtown Singapore offers some of the most luxurious homes.
Location is critical, as we at Singapore Prime Districts understand. And Orchard Boulevard fulfills this criterion perfectly. Situated just next to the heart of Orchard Road, it has convenient access to the shopping belt, for starters. The Central Business District is just a 10 minute drive away, so you would never be late for work. You are also well-connected with the rest of the island through the Pan Island Expressway. Despite staying in the midst of downtown, Orchard Boulevard maintains a quaint and serene atmosphere. The only buildings around are sophisticated private residences and 5 star hotels. Filled with lush greenery and the sweet sounds of chirping birds, it’s really a paradise unto itself.
So the area is great, but what about the condominiums? Rest assured, our professional agents have scouted Orchard Boulevard and they are impressed, to say the least. First on our list – the Boulevard Residences. Immensely luxurious and elegant, the high-end condominium is made up of 2 sleek towers linked with a sky bridge. Paneled with full length glass windows, it provides a breathtaking bird’s eye view of the city below. The designers were also thoughtful enough to create units that either faces north or south to avoid the glare from our tropical weather. We also adore their sky terraces where you could enjoy a relaxing yoga session while the cooling breeze brushes against your skin. At Orchard Boulevard, exquisite and tasteful design is a given, not a bonus.
Yes, yes, we know you can’t wait to hear about the shopping. Living so near to Orchard Road, shopping is without a doubt, pretty darn good. Just beyond your doorstep, there’re high-end malls like Forum and Palais Renaissance which are stocked to the roof with big, international labels. Go crazy with the this season offerings from Dolce & Gabbana, Hugo Boss, Louis Vuitton and much more. If that’s not enough for you, stroll further down and Takashimaya and Paragon come within sight. Hold your breath for Chanel, Tiffany’s, Armani and Miu Miu! To all you shopaholics out there, Orchard Boulevard is your sweet demise.
Of course, we at Singapore Prime Districts don’t simply recommend Orchard Boulevard for the shopping, good as it may be. This area is worth buying into because of its laid back lifestyle and exclusivity. Imagine coming home from a hard day’s work without having to face rush hour traffic jam. Then going to 5-class Chinese dinner at Jiang Nan Chun, the signatory restaurant of Four Seasons Hotel. After dinner, enjoy a tangy cocktail in Hard Rock Café with good live music. Or take a slow walk in the tranquil neighborhood. This is what Orchard Boulevard is truly about – suburban lifestyle in an urban setting.
And what are you waiting for? Contact Keith at keith@singaporeprimedistricts.com to move into the elegant and luxurious Orchard Boulevard now!
Everyone defines fun differently. If you were to ask us folks at Singapore Prime Districts, we’d say without a doubt that fun is life in the River Valley area of downtown Singapore. With a front porch lined with high-end retail and a backyard full of thumping clubs and bars, this place simply screams fun, fun, fun!
Clubbing animals and pub crawlers love River Valley. Simply for the fact that there is perhaps no other area in Singapore with more night spots. As the sun sets, funky crowds creep into the district hunting for the perfect chill out session. And they usually have their wish granted. River Valley is home to some of the best clubs and bars in Singapore. Zouk, the Godfather of the local clubbing scene pumps away just within the vicinity. Come down for their world class DJ performances, uber chic girls and guess what – genuine Andy Warhol pieces. Fancy a night of drinking? We at Singapore Prime Districts have our very own pub crawling schedule. Start from a Japanese izakaya for yakitori and sake, move on to Highlander for quality whiskey, then perhaps a strong tequila short from Velvet. Every night in River Valley is party night!
Epicureans and shopaholics too, love River Valley. Simply for the fact that this area is armed with unique fashion styles and decadent restaurants. A trip to the new mall Central would help to explain. Instead of the run-of-the-mill stuff in Orchard, you get independent shops bringing in Korean and Japanese fashion ranging from kawaii to stylish to rebellious. As for those hungry souls out there, we at Singapore Prime Districts know just the fix at Sage, famous restaurant in River Valley and Singapore. Serving up succulent beef cheeks and indulgent desserts, this is the answer to your desires. Just to add some character to the package, River Valley is also an arty district with several galleries. Think you’ve got an eye for art? Make a few purchases for the new dining room, all within the neighborhood!
Rednecks and cab drivers too, love River Valley. Simply for the fact that it is so easily accessible. Closely linked with Orchard, Raffles Place and City Hall you are a short drive away to the office and the shops. No more crazy traffic during the rush hours; you can reach work and hit home in a breeze. Whenever you need a beer to rewind from a day with the bitchy boss, Clarke Quay is just within walking distance. Throw in the fresh air by the river, even the reddest of rednecks could find some inner peace. And this is why we at Singapore Prime Districts too, love River Valley. Simply for the fact that apart from the party crowd, we find calm and quiet in a little café or a stroll around the riverside.
If just like us, this is how you would define fun then contact Keith at keith@singaporeprimedistricts.com for our pub crawling schedule and other exciting lifestyles in River Valley! Don’t drink and drive!
New standards are being set everyday in the arena of luxurious condominiums in Singapore. But few can outlast and outrun the Orchard Residences. Deeply impressed by its sheer extravagance and exclusivity, we at Singapore Prime Districts believe it’s probably the best address on the island.
Take one look at the layout of the Orchard Residences and you’re bought. There’s the exclusive bit. With only 175 super luxurious units and selling by invitation, the Orchard Residences is truly reserved for the rich and elite. Moving in means life among posh people like yourself. The amazing designers also added lustrous fittings to the interior for toe-curling comfort at home. Yet these points pale in comparison to its desirable location. Standing at Orchard Turn, the Orchard Residences parks itself at the most prime of all prime lands in Singapore. Right beneath you are the funky crowds and hustle and bustle of the shopping belt. Stretched to a height of 218m, it’s also easily the tallest building along Orchard Road and that elevates you to a level above everyone else. The panoramic skyline of buzzing downtown should be quite a feast for the eyes. Here’s to a good life – in the sky!
Sounds exciting? That’s just half of the story. The nice people behind this project are offering a better deal – buy a unit and get a shopping mall as well. Attached to the Orchard Residences is ION, the latest high-end retail centre in the city. Life will never be boring again because you can expect more than 400 food and retail outlets popping up from Ion. And they’ll not be cheapskate stuff either. Here’s a list of confirmed flagship stores: Christian Dior, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani. Together, they’ll take up 50,000 sq ft of retail space. That’s a lot of fabulous shopping to be done. What’s best – they’re connected to your doorstep, press a few lift buttons and you’re ready to kill. A nice bit of detail, ION will come with an art gallery aimed to become the venue for important art events. So the next time they bring Salvador Dali to Singapore, you might be able to go in your pajamas.
So who are the masterminds behind this paradise? We thought you’d never asked. They are Sun Hung Kai and Capitaland who rule the Hong Kong and Singapore real estate markets respectively. When the two moguls combined forces on the Orchard Residences and ION, it proved to be a splendid hit. Just the awards could sweep you off your feet. The development has won two EG Retail and Future Project Awards, the Best Architetural Entry and the Best Retail Development over 20 000 m², at MAPIC held in Cannes, France. But the sales speak the loudest. With so many people vying for a unit, the first phase of sale of 98 units was a blast. Now those who failed to get their hands on this beauty are willing to pay much more in the second hand market. With very good reasons too, this is indeed the most attractive development we at Singapore Prime Districts have ever seen in recent years.
Dreaming of moving into the Orchard Residences? Dream no more, contact Keith at keith@singaporeprimedistricts.com and we’ll send you packing for the best address in no time!
You may not have heard of Mount Sophia. And who can blame you? With so much attention paid to Cairnhill, Orchard and Somerset, it’s easy to forget about this quaint area behind the Dhoby Ghaut. In this issue, we at Singapore Prime Districts will show you why you must take note of Mount Sophia, the urban sanctuary in downtown Singapore!
Convenient location, peaceful environment
We don’t call Mount Sophia an urban sanctuary for nuts. The location speaks for itself. This tiny stretch is tugged nicely at the back of Orchard Road, the pumping heart of the city centre. Close to the Pan-Island Expressway and the Fort Canning Tunnel, the rest of Singapore lies at your doorstep. Furthermore, this ideal spot faces Somerset and City Hall so going to work will be a breeze. That only explains the urban part. Here’s the sanctuary. Although Mount Sophia is next door to the busiest street in Singapore, it maintains a serene and relaxing environment. Hidden from the noise along the shopping belt, this area is peaceful and elegant. All around you are sophisticated condominiums and private residences lined with lush greenery. You actually look forward to going home for that calming atmosphere. Mount Sophia is home sweet home indeed.
There’s something for everyone
Apart from a peaceful home, everyone needs some spice in life. Mount Sophia has plenty of that, too. How can life ever be boring when you live nearby so many malls and restaurants? Ladies, grab your purse, this is a haven for you and your girlfriends. You could shop till you drop for luxurious goods in Plaza Singapura, the Cathay and Park Mall. For those with a naughty streak, get a Brazilian wax at Strip, well-known for their kinky designs. Gentlemen, don’t feel left out. Enjoy a powerful workout session with the boys at Fitness First, the mega gym. Or catch the latest action flick at the Cathay cinemas. If just like us, you love food, then Mount Sophia has various restaurants to offer. Try our favorite American restaurant Billy Bombers for piping hot ribs, crispy thick cut fries and creamy milk shakes. Then have the Rochor Original Beancurd for dessert. Life at Mount Sophia can be so sinful.
Great colleges of Singapore
If your child aspires to be the next Picasso or Warren Buffett, then Mount Sophia might be the right place to live. This area is home to many great colleges of Singapore. For the arty child, there is the prestigious college of the arts, LaSalle. Providing students with the best experience in learning the arts, they are linked to over 40 cities globally. Having produced undergraduates who win awards local and abroad, LaSalle is not your run-of-the-mill arts school. For the business-minded child, there is Singapore Management University, the only business school in Singapore that was featured in TIME magazine. Applying the American pedagogy that promotes self-learning and innovative thinking, the ambitious albeit young college boasts graduates who move onto Goldman and Merrill Lynch. Your talented teenagers would find going to school so much more convenient. Why? They could just walk across the street.
We love Mount Sophia because it’s well-connected to the city centre yet spared from the noise and crowds. While you enjoy life in the fast lane downtown, you could return home to a peaceful sanctuary. It’s like having your cake and eating it, too.
