1. Boulevard 88

Set in the heart of one of Singapore’s most coveted addresses along Orchard Boulevard, Boulevard 88 is the masterwork of renowned architect Moshe Safdie, who also designed iconic landmarks such as Marina Bay Sands and Jewel Changi Airport. This 154-unit freehold residence rises above The Singapore EDITION Hotel, a unique hotel concept conceived by lifestyle visionary Ian Schrager with Marriott International.

Comprising two 28-storey towers, Boulevard 88 is connected at the top by Sky Boulevard, where residents can book the Sky Club for private social functions; a gourmet Sky Kitchen for fine dining; a Sky Lounge for drinks; a Sky Gym and an Infinity Sky Pool. Homeowners can also choose to host guests at the al fresco Patio Lounge at level two, and call on the assistance of CDL’s Signature Residential Services for requests both subtle and sublime.

Perched atop the luxurious JW Marriott Singapore South Beach and ready for immediate occupation, South Beach Residences rises from the 22nd to the 45th level, with an exclusive collection of 190 luxury homes, including penthouses.

4. Haus on Handy

Located in the Handy Road residential area in District 9, Haus on Handy boasts an excellent location just two minutes from Dhoby Ghaut MRT interchange, with easy access to the shopping and dining pleasures of Orchard Road. Comprising two blocks of nine- and 12-storey residential towers, Haus on Handy offers 188 apartments ranging from one- to three-bedroom dual-key configurations.

Meticulously designed, the development is faithful to the history of the site—where stately colonial mansions on Mount Sophia were home to Singapore’s early elites. The crowning jewel of the property is the Club Haus, a sensitive repurposing of the 1890s heritage Tower House, now given a new life as the property’s hub for its Premier Residential Services. Here, residents can enjoy the gym studios and entertain guests at the Club Suite, Club Gourmet, Club Visual, and Club Lounge.

Connecting the Club Haus to the residential towers are plenty of leisure and social spaces, including beautifully landscaped terraces and alcoves, a lap pool, barbecue pavilion, spa retreat and a Sky Garden.
