Orchard Sophia is the new standout freehold property on Sophia Road in the prime District 9 Core Central Region. What makes this 78-unit development so attractive is its value-for-money proposition, as well as its prime and centrally located neighbourhood. Positioned on top of Mount Sophia, the development offers one of the tallest towers in the area with bird’s-eye views of Orchard Road and Istana Park. Most apartments offer either unblocked cityscape views or those over the inner courtyard with its 20m lap pool. The rooftop features a 6,000 sq ft deck with a spa, outdoor gym, lounge, and bar.

At Orchard Sophia, the design inspiration of this boutique luxury hotel was to evoke a sense of exclusive living, from the drop-off point and basement car park, right through to the walkways and communal areas. The colour palette and material selection was integrated to harmonise with the architecture.

Nearby restaurants, entertainment and shopping options provide a contemporary lifestyle destination. The five-minute walk to Plaza Singapura is also connected to the Dhoby Ghaut Interchange on the North-East, North-South and Circle MRT lines. Other precincts such as Tanglin and the Somerset area will feature event spaces and projects catering to youth entertainment.

Since its launch in August this year, about 40% of the units have been sold at an average price of $2,800 psf, making it a relative bargain compared to other RCR projects. Buyers were also attracted to the quality of appliances and fittings provided. In the kitchen, this includes a built-in rack for spices and condiments, a polished backsplash and a sintered stone countertop. Bathroom fittings range from Gessi shower sets, Hansgrohe accessories, Duravit water closets and Geberit flush plates.

The area around Orchard Sophia uniquely combines proximity to Orchard Road and Dhoby Ghaut with a serene residential setting. Of the 78 units, 55 are two-bedroom units ranging from 581 sq ft to 710 sq ft, 15 are one-bedroom units ranging from 441 sq ft to 484 sq ft, 3 are three-bedroom units of 764 sq ft, and 5 are three-bedroom dual key units from 829 sq ft to 840 sq ft.

Families with school-going children can benefit from the range of educational institutions in the vicinity. St Margaret’s Primary is right next door, and other schools close by include Stamford Primary School, LaSalle College of the Arts, School of the Arts, Anglo-Chinese School, and Singapore Management University.

The Tampines North MRT Condo is expected to offer a high standard of modern living, with apartments boasting state of the art appliances and luxurious fittings. With services, facilities and amenities spread throughout the development, residents’ needs will be taken care of with ease. Tampines Ave 11 Condo also offers a range of outdoor activities, such as poolside dining and luxurious sky terraces, providing the perfect opportunity for residents to take some time out and relax in the comfort and security of their own home.

This new launch project is an attractive prospect for homeowners and investors looking for prime real estate in a centrally located neighbourhood when it is complete in December 2024. With quality appliances and fittings, and relative affordability, Orchard Sophia could be an interesting option to consider.
