Orchard Residences: Probably the best address in Singapore.

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.
