Leedon Residence

Leedon Residence (spanning 2 to 24 Leedon Heights) is a freehold luxury condominium located in District 10, nestled directly adjacent to the ultra-exclusive Leedon Park Good Class Bungalow (GCB) enclave. It is a CCR (Core Central Region) development. Designed by the internationally acclaimed SCDA Architects, it is widely considered one of the most prestigious mega-luxury projects in Singapore. It offers a sprawling, ultra-low-density sanctuary that stands in stark contrast to the towering, high-density profile of its famous leasehold neighbour, d’Leedon.

Key project facts

• Type & tenure: Private residential condominium on a freehold tenure.

• Completion & scale: Completed in 2015. It features only 381 residential units spread across an absolutely massive 522,326 sq ft (roughly 5 hectares) of land. This gives it one of the lowest unit-to-land-size ratios in the prime districts.

• Developer: Developed by GuocoLand, a developer renowned for high-end luxury residential projects and extensive, botanic-level landscaping.

Location and connectivity

• Address & setting: Located along Leedon Heights, the development is tucked away from the main Farrer Road, ensuring absolute tranquility. Because it borders a GCB enclave, many units enjoy permanent, unblocked views of lush greenery and landed rooftops.

• MRT access: Very convenient for a District 10 property. It is about a 5- to 8-minute walk to Farrer Road MRT(Circle Line), putting residents just one stop away from Holland Village and the Botanic Gardens.

• Road links: Immediate access to Farrer Road and Holland Road, allowing for a quick 10-minute drive to the Orchard Road shopping belt or Dempsey Hill.

Layouts and design

• Unit mix: Unapologetically large. There are no “shoebox” units here. The smallest 2-bedroom units start at a generous 1,044 sq ft, while 4-bedroom units range up to 2,669 sq ft. The project also features massive Garden Suites and Penthouses that can exceed 7,000 sq ft.

• Design approach: Signature SCDA aesthetics—think lofty double-volume ceilings, extensive use of natural materials (timber and stone), and unusually large balconies designed to function as outdoor living and dining rooms.

• Positioning: Exclusively targets Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals (UHNWIs), affluent families, and expatriate top management who want the space of a landed home but the security, facilities, and single-floor plate of a condominium.

Facilities and lifestyle

• Facilities: The 5-hectare grounds allow for extraordinary amenities that smaller boutique condos cannot match. Highlights include a 50-metre lap pool, an arrival court, tennis courts, and a signature 200-metre private forest nature trail right within the estate boundaries.

• Living environment: Serene, majestic, and highly private. Despite its large land size, the community is small and exclusive, feeling more like a luxury wellness resort than a standard residential block.

• Nearby amenities: A short walk to Empress Market for local food and fresh produce. It is also minutes away from the dining enclaves of Holland Village and Dempsey Hill, and within 1km of the highly sought-after Nanyang Primary School.

Market and buyer appeal

• Resale positioning: It is a blue-chip, legacy asset. Because of its massive freehold land plot in a prime District 10 GCB area, it commands top-tier prices, frequently transacting between $2,700 to over $3,000 PSF depending on the unit type and facing.

• Rental demand: A perennial favorite for high-budget corporate expatriates and diplomats who require substantial square footage for entertaining and living.

• Key appeal: Space and Scarcity. In today’s market, finding a relatively new freehold condo in District 10 with 5 hectares of land and units starting above 1,000 sq ft is incredibly rare. It is a genuine trophy asset.
