For the last 100 years or so, Cairnhill has been home to Singapore’s wealthy elite. Many things may have changed over the course of time, but some of the heritage of the precinct still persists. Today, the Cairnhill area remains as one of the most sought-after residential neighbourhoods of Singapore for those who appreciate the tranquility here, in the heart of the city.
The Klimt Cairnhill Singapore . 36-Storeys High Golden Landmark
Rising 36 storeys high, Klimt Cairnhill with its golden facade, will be one of the most distinctive landmarks to tower over the Orchard Road skyline.
It will house just 138 freehold homes, from attractive 2-bedroom apartments, to two luxuriously lavish 6-bedroom penthouses. Each unit, as well as the communal facilities, are meticulously designed and crafted to be a delight to the eye and the senses.

Among its rich offerings will be a conserved heritage bungalow, that evokes memories of a more leisured past. This will be fashioned into an exquisite clubhouse with inviting lounges and private dining rooms, that will provide a charming alternative for entertaining guests.

Klimt Cairnhill off Orchard Road · The Location
This site, being along Cairnhill Road, sits on the boundary of the Orchard Road precinct, the heart of Singapore’s prime district 09. It lies within a mostly residential enclave that comprises other high-end condominiums, as well as a row of conserved heritage shophouses, and luxury hotels.
The Klimt Cairnhill location is convenient to most stuff. It is roughly 7 minutes walk from Newton MRT interchange station that connects the North-South and Downtown MRT lines. It is also an almost similar walking distance, via Anthony Road, to the famous (or infamous) Newton Food Centre.
One advantage of this site appears to be that there is a fair bit of breathing space around. Most of the buildings encircling it are of a low-rise nature, or are a bit further away.
Such as to its south, and south-east, where the row of low-rise shophouses opens out the view for quite a distance. And to its west, where the sprawling grounds of landmark Goodwood Park Hotel provides a similar unobstructed feel.
Like the shophouses, the Goodwood Park Hotel is a low-rise heritage structure, unlikely to be built up in future. So on those sides, the views should keep for some time.

But the nicest views could possibly be northwards, past Trendale Tower and The Scotts Tower, across Scotts Road. Just pocket views however, to the lush greenery of Goodwood Hill, with its old colonial houses scattered amidst a park-like area covered in mature trees.
Cairnhill Road is walking distance to Orchard Road, albeit a longish walk. Hence Klimt Cairnhill residents will be amply-serviced by the longest retail and dining street in Singapore, the Orchard shopping belt.
The Klimt Condo Location View Vicinity
For a closer dining experience, there is Sheraton Towers Hotel within 5 minutes walk diagonally across Scotts Road.
There is a smaller retail, banking and dining cluster at Novena, less than 2 KM up Scotts and Newton roads. Over there are malls like United Square, Novena Square, and Velocity@Novena Square, with a good range of shops, F&B outlets, and supermarkets.
The Klimt Cairnhill location would likely appeal to families with young children looking for a home close to the Bukit Timah education belt too. The Downtown MRT line connects to several highly-regarded schools and international schools, colleges, and tertiary institutions, within a few stops from Newton.
This site is itself within 2 KM of brand name schools such as Anglo-Chinese School, River Valley Primary, St Joseph’s Institution Junior, St Margaret’s Primary, and so forth.

Klimt Cairnhill Singapore As An Investment
The Klimt Cairnhill condo undoubtedly occupies a plum piece of real estate. It is in a pleasant upmarket District 09 neighbourhood, a short walk to Newton MRT station. Tenure is freehold. It is also central, within walking distance to Orchard Road, and close to the CBD.
Many of the qualities that appeal to buyers looking for a home for themselves, could conceivably attract potential tenants too. Which fortunately this area has an ample supply of.
Besides the strong catchment of tenants from the Orchard Road and CBD fairly close by, there are those from the Novena medical cluster as well.
Novena is growing in importance and scale as a medical hub. Under URA’s Master Plan, it is on track to become one of Singapore’s largest healthcare complexes.
Even before all that, the Orchard / Newton / Novena area has traditionally enjoyed very healthy rental demand. Records from the URA website show an encouraging number of rental leases signed monthly.
On the face of it then, this project could appeal to investors looking for a solid property in a good location, as a safe haven to park funds in. Particularly as Singapore’s prime real estate is ranked currently among the most attractive in relation to those in financial centres globally. For more on this aspect, here are a couple of articles among many: Luxury Real Estate Markets in 2020, and Singapore Home Sales.

The Klimt Cairnhill Site Plan
The Klimt Cairnhill site is an irregularly shaped plot of land, accessed via Cairnhill Road along its eastern boundary.
It is actually an amalgamation of 4 land parcels, the biggest of which is from the former Cairnhill Mansions at the top of the site. The other three parcels came from 67 Cairnhill Road and two adjacent plots – lots 836C and 844T of Town Subdivision 27 – that were acquired subsequently.
The total adds up to a land area of 62,903 square feet. Not extremely big, but a very decent size for a freehold site. This allows the architect to create something with more ground for communal facilities and landscaping than many freehold sites can offer.
To the north of the site is another high-rise condominium, the Trendale Tower, but separated by a low-rise facilities section of Scotts 28.
Similarly to the south, the Klimt Cairnhill condo faces the high-rise Ritz-Carlton Residences, but again separated by some very nicely landscaped low-rise section of that as well.
The Klimt Condo Site Location . View Southwards down Cairnhill Road
It is to the south-east and west that the views open out, for mid to high-floor residents especially. Fringing the east of Cairnhill Road is a row of Peranakan conservation shophouses that create the breathing space on that side.
While to the west, in between the high-rise Scotts 28 and High Point condominiums, we have the spreading grounds of the low-rise Goodwood Park Hotel. Beyond that, across Scotts Road, are the Tanglin Club and the American Club.
Altogether, the unobstructed views on this side stretch for quite a distance. However the units facing this way will also get the west afternoon sun, so it is a mixed blessing.

THE KLIMT CAIRNHILL PRICE RANGES
The Klimt Cairnhill prices are not available yet. Please let us know via the Contact Form if you wish to be updated when the indicative pricing is finalised.
THE KLIMT CAIRNHILL PRICE BACKGROUND
The Klimt Cairnhill site comprises four land parcels merged together. The first and biggest of these is 69 Cairnhill Road, the site of the former Cairnhill Mansions.
The developer, Low Keng Huat purchased it in an en bloc sale for SGD$362 million, on 14 February 2018. It was the first collective land sale in the prime Cairnhill area for some time.
This freehold plot has a land area of 43,103 square feet, with a gross floor area of 156,581 square feet. Which means an effective plot ratio of 3.63, higher than the 2.8 for the vicinity.
Based on this plot alone, the land cost worked out to $2,311 per square foot per plot ratio (PSF PPR).
However subsequently, Low Keng Huat through its unit Glopeak Development, acquired three adjacent lots as well in June 2018. These land parcels included 67 Cairnhill Road and two much smaller plots, all freehold.
They cost Low Keng Huat another $100 million, and span some 19,800 square feet, with an allowable 2.8 plot ratio. This equates to a gross floor area of 55,440 square feet, working out to around $1,804 PSF PPR.
Which brings down the overall average land cost of the Klimt Cairnhill site to around $2,179 PSF PPR.
After factoring in the financing, overheads, marketing, construction and other development costs, the break even could be somewhere in the region of $2,750 PSF.
From there it is not hard to envisage a selling price in the $3,x00s range. As a comparison, freehold launches in the Orchard Road neighbourhood such as Boulevard 88, 3 Orchard-by-the-Park, and Nouvel 18, are averaging around $3,3xx to #3,8xx PSF.
Closer at hand, the last three remaining units at The Ritz-Carlton Residences next door are priced at around $3,8xx PSF.
