“Live where others vacation” is the motto of Klimt Cairnhill, and it perfectly encapsulates the unparalleled comfort and exceptional quality of the development. 

Situated in the heart of Orchard, the Klimt Cairnhill Condo is a luxurious development that boasts a 36-story building housing 138 expansive units brought to you by the same developer responsible for multiple notable construction projects, including the People’s Park Complex; the OCBC Centre, which at one time was Singapore’s tallest building.

Klimt Cairnhill was initially launched in August 2021, but was relaunched recently after the show flat was refurbished in January. This couldn’t have come at a better time as foreign buyers’ return to Singapore fuelled the sales significantly. About 38 units have been sold so far, at an average price of $3,778 per square foot (psf). The development’s freehold tenure and strategic positioning in Orchard are key factors to local and foreign buyers’ interest – with up to 40% of buyers consisting of Chinese nationals. 

With units consisting of 2, 3, and 4 bedrooms, the project has something for families of all sizes, from singles or young couples to multigenerational families:

With a growing number of Chinese high-net-worth individuals and Singaporean buyers eyeing homes in the Core Central Region, let’s take a closer look to see if Klimt Cairnhill is truly a worthy investment.

Accessibility: 4/5

Klimt Cairnhill is unparalleled in its strategic positioning right behind Orchard Road and Scott’s Road. And that means residents get the convenience of being just minutes away from the Orchard Road Shopping Belt but without the congestion, noise, traffic, and crowd. 

Additionally, the development offers easy access to public transportation, with the Orchard station and Newton MRT interchange connecting residents to the North-South and Downtown MRT lines:

• NS21 Newton, 0.43km or 4-minute walk
• DT11 Newton, 0.59km or 6-minute walk
• NS22 Orchard, 0.69km or 7-minute walk 
• (Upcoming) TE14 Orchard, 0.83km or 8-minute walk

You’ll also have near-instant access to a plethora of luxury brands and high-street fashion choices at TANGS and ION Orchard, among other high-end shopping centres. The development’s central location also places residents in close proximity to world-famous dining establishments, including Michelin-starred cuisine at Marina Bay Sands, a mere 9-minute drive away.

For those with families, Klimt Cairnhill is an ideal choice due to its proximity to multiple prestigious schools. The Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) is a mere 9-minute walk away, while Etonhouse International Pre-school is just a quick 2-minute drive away. Additionally, the world-class National University of Singapore’s Bukit Timah Campus is only a 7-minute drive away, providing residents with access to highly competitive and internationally recognized degrees.

Other educational institutions located nearby the development: 

Moreover, island-wide connectivity is a breeze, with the Central Expressway just a 2-minute drive away and the Pan Island Expressway just a 7-minute drive away, enabling residents to access all corners of the island with ease. With its unbeatable location and luxurious amenities, Klimt Cairnhill is the perfect choice for those seeking an indulgent and convenient lifestyle.

Facilities: 4/5

Of the multiple jewels of the development, one of the most exciting is its meticulously preserved 1902 Anglo-Malay bungalow which the developer had acquired at 67 Cairnhill Road and is situated on the Garden Court. Instead of redeveloping the old bungalow, the property is being restored to its former glory as an “elevated Anglo-Malayan style bungalow,” based on drawings from the National Archives of Singapore. It will be converted into the future residents’ clubhouse that sits on a 62,904 feet freehold site.

When most people choose between a grounded house and a condo, they accept that they’ll be trading off a garden or outdoor space in exchange for a condo’s convenience. But with Klimt Cairnhill, you can have the best of both worlds. 

You have facilities that stretch out to 5 entire stories with The Garden Court from Floors 1 – 4, which has an extensive green carpet lawn that provides excellent outdoor space and ample compound of a grounded house while still having the many accessibilities of a condo.

You also have an outdoor function terrace, a dining terrace with a heated jacuzzi, a barbeque terrace, and a picnic lawn perfect for social gatherings and entertaining guests. 

Located on the 5th story is The Oasis, an idyllic retreat that features a series of stunning pools, including a massive L-shaped 50m swimming pool, poolside dining pavilion, and reflecting pool, that provides residents with a serene and relaxing environment to escape the hustle and bustle of the metropolis.

The yoga deck and palm deck offer a serene environment for practising mindfulness and soaking up the tropical breezes. The meditation deck and chill-out deck provide a tranquil respite for residents seeking to discover their spirituality and offer a peaceful spot to read.

Overall, the Klimt Cairnhill Condo offers a perfect blend of luxurious and sophisticated facilities, ensuring that its residents can experience a vacation-tier level of comfort in their own residence.

Quality of Fittings: 5/5

The Klimt Cairnhill condo offers an exceptional standard of living, designed with utmost sophistication and attention to detail. 

The Four-Bedroom Prestige unit features expansive living spaces that evoke grandeur and awe. Upon entry, you are greeted by polished marble worktops and backdrop features in the dry kitchen, along with state-of-the-art appliances like an integrated hidden Liebherr fridge and Miele ovens. The unit also features a generously-sized balcony that rivals the living room in size, offering stunning views for an unforgettable dining experience.

Complete privacy and easy accessibility are ensured with the private lift within the unit, while the spacious bedrooms can accommodate king-sized beds for the ultimate comfort. The ensuite bathrooms are diligently crafted with polished marble countertops, gold-accented fittings, and a bathtub adjacent to a full-length window, elevating the bathing experience to a whole new level of indulgence.

Every unit, from the two-bedroom to the four-bedroom options, is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail that is the hallmark of the Klimt Cairnhill condo.

Healthy Living: 4/5 

Despite its central location, the development makes it easy for residents to maintain a healthy lifestyle with its proximity to several nearby facilities, including multiple gardens such as the Art Noveau Garden and Golden Tree gardens located right within the residences on The Garden Court.

The condo’s enviable location also offers residents the perfect opportunity to immerse themselves in Singapore’s lush greenery with its close proximity to several amazing parks, including the world-renowned Singapore Botanic Gardens, Fort Canning Park, and the stunning Gardens by the Bay,  offering residents the opportunity to experience the very best of Singapore’s natural beauty.

For those seeking to maintain an active lifestyle, the development is just a 1-minute drive away from two prestigious country clubs – The American Club and The Tanglin Club – both offering a variety of fitness activities, such as tennis, squash, yoga, pilates, and swimming, providing residents with easy access to healthy lifestyle choices.

Overall, the Klimt Cairnhill condo offers the perfect balance between city living and a healthy lifestyle, making it the ideal choice for those seeking an indulgent and active life.

Price/Value for Money: 5/5

Klimt Cairnhill’s location on Cairnhill Road, also known as the Golden District, is an exclusive address that has long been associated with Singapore’s early business founders, adding to its cachet as a prime investment opportunity. The area has also not seen any new developments in recent years, making Klimt Cairnhill an exceptional opportunity for those seeking to invest in a unique and exclusive property.

Local Demand

Furthermore, with the increasing demand for larger units since the onset of Covid-19, Klimt Cairnhill’s spacious two and three-bedroom units are increasingly attractive to buyers. The development’s proximity to schools, coupled with the recent changes to the Ministry of Education’s primary one school registration system last year that prioritizes applicants living within 1km of the school, makes Klimt Cairnhill a highly desirable option for families looking to secure a foothold in the prime District 9.

The two-bedroom units are also targeted to have a more affordable entry price, providing an excellent investment opportunity for singles and young couples looking to enter the prime District 9 market. 

Foreign Demand

The development has attracted a significant number of foreign buyers, particularly from China, who are drawn to the larger units, freehold tenure, and prime district address. With little new stock of such units available today, Klimt Cairnhill offers a rare opportunity to invest in a highly sought-after property in one of Singapore’s most exclusive locations.

Upcoming Developments & Market Trends

Klimt Cairnhill’s location in the CCR and alignment with the Orchard URA Master plan is a clear indication of the development’s potential for long-term appreciation, what with all the upcoming developments.

Furthermore, with the narrowing price gap between Core Central Region projects and the rest of Central Region projects, CCR properties are offering better value for their price, making it an opportune time for investors to consider investing in CCR properties.
