THE HYDE CONDOMINIUM
Freehold Residences @ Balmoral Road Singapore
Here we present The Hyde condo, a luxurious freehold retreat in the upmarket Balmoral area in District 10. This location is historically, and still remains, one of Singapore’s most exclusive private residential neighbourhoods. Just around the corner from Orchard Road, you arrive here at a completely different world. One of tall mature trees, idyllic repose, and birdsong, that belies its proximity to the city centre.
The Hyde Singapore Orchard Skyline View
This stretch of Balmoral Road along which the Hyde condo is located also offers unobstructed views to the lush greenery of Goodwood Hill. Not many homes in the heart of the city have the luxury of fronting such an expanse of open greenery.

This is also in a quieter part of Balmoral Road, away from the main traffic of Stevens Road, but still within 1 km of Singapore Chinese Girls’ School and Anglo-Chinese School at Barker Road. There are a few clubs in the vicinity – Tanglin Club, The American Club and Raffles Town Club.
The Hyde will comprise 117 apartments and is being developed by Aurum Land Limited, winner of the Best Boutique Developer (Singapore) award in 2015.

Design of The Hyde . By Aurum Land & FDAT Architects
The architecture of the Hyde condo is decidedly modern, inspired by the avant-garde approach of the Serpentine Pavilions in Hyde Park, UK. Its distinctive sculptural profile complements its park-like surroundings, and aspires to a refined quality of detailing and space.
The Hyde 11 Balmoral Road
The apartment units are raised high off the ground to enable panoramic views to Goodwood Hill and beyond. This also allows practically the whole site to be free of buildings, and meticulously landscaped with lush foliage to provide a peaceful setting. In the midst of that, are nestled the facilities, interspersed with greenery to offer subtle screening.
The Hyde Condo Gym
For each apartment, sashless windows and full height glazed façades translate into elegant and expansive uninterrupted views. Added to that are smart home systems that provide residents with multiple layers of security, and diplomat-level privacy for guests too.

Background to The Hyde Condo
The Hyde condo site is actually an amalgamation of two prime parcels of land. It comprises the former Balmoral Mansions 30,200 sq ft parcel at 11 Balmoral Road, and the Balmoral Gardens 36,752 sq ft plot at 11b Balmoral Road.
Aurum Land bought both – Balmoral Mansions in end 2017, and Balmoral Gardens in early 2018 – to be combined and re-developed as one project. This allows a good sized high-end development to be built, with greater scope for landscaping and provision of more facilities. The Hyde condo site also enjoys dual frontages, at main Balmoral Road, and a side road.
The sales of both parcels of land had 100% approval from their respective strata owners. Hence, Strata Titles Board’s approval for the sales were not required, and Aurum could take possession of the sites quickly. Aurum Land would then be able to build and market the new development without undue delay.

Neighbourhood & Context of the Hyde Singapore Condo Site
The Hyde Singapore will be a mid-rise development within the established private residential enclave of the Balmoral Road area, close to its Stevens Road end. It is about 3 minutes walk from Stevens Road, far enough to be away from the main traffic without sacrificing convenience.
This land parcel enjoys dual road frontages. On the south-east is Balmoral Road, while a side lane wends its way around the west and north-west of the site. So it is a further distance from surrounding buildings than most developments here.
In addition, the Hyde condo units facing south and south-east will enjoy unblocked views across Balmoral Road to Goodwood Hill, a park-like area covered in mature trees interspersed with old colonial houses. Lower floor units on this side will get lovely tree views, while high floor units will overlook the greenery to Orchard Road, and the city skyline in the distance.

The land cost for the 30,200 sq ft 11 Balmoral Road was SGD$73.8 million, which together with a development charge of around $10.76 million, added up to SGD$84.56 million.
For 11b Balmoral Road, the 36,752 sq ft former Balmoral Gardens, the land cost was nearly $83 million, which together with a development charge of close to $23.6 million, came to a price tag of around $106.6 million.
Under the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s 2014 Master Plan, both sites are zoned for residential use with a permissible plot ratio of 1.6 (which is the ratio of built up area vs land area).
Given the total land costs plus development charge of $191.16 million for the combined 66,952 sq ft Hyde condo site, the land rate works out to around $1,784 per square foot per plot ratio (PSF PPR).
After factoring in financing, overheads, development, and construction, the break even cost could come close to $2,600 PSF PPR.
The Hyde condo selling price could be benchmarked against similar freehold launches in the vicinity. Such as for New Futura that has seen strong sales recently at an average of $3,500 PSF, and is now 70% sold.
