High Point Condominium: The 1973 Classic Anchored on Orchard Road
Ready for the Next Chapter?
Think of this 22‑storey icon as a steady little sapling on 30 Mount Elizabeth. With 57 apartments, two penthouses, and an unbeatable view, it’s now on the market for an eager developer to reimagine its future.
Why It’s a Must‑See
- Prime Spot: Nestled at the end of a quiet cul‑de‑sac, it’s a stone’s throw from Paragon Shopping Centre and all the Orchard Road buzz—shopping, dining, and even a full suit of medical facilities, from Mouth Elizabeth Hospital to the elite Paragon Medical.
- Luxury Lifestyle: It borders private clubs like Tanglin and The American Club, plus the serene Singapore Botanic Gardens.
- Top‑Notch Schools: Within a kilometre you’ll find Anglo‑Chinese Junior and Eton House International Pre‑School (Claymore). Further out (just 2 km) are prime schools like Anglo‑Chinese Primary, Singapore Chinese Girls’ Primary, St. Joseph’s Institution, and St. Margaret’s.
- Transport Champion: A quick 7‑minute walk to Orchard Road MRT, soon to be a full interchange with the Thomson‑East Coast Line, will soon hook you to the CBD, North and East. Botanic Gardens (Napier station) is only two stops away.
Apartment Numbers (and Sizes)
- Standard units: 268 sqm (2 885 sqft) and 272 sqm (2 928 sqft).
- Penthouses: 589 sqm (6 340 sqft) and 592 sqm (6 372 sqft).
The Development Blueprint
Under the 2019 Master Plan, this 47,606‑sq‑ft “residential” plot can reach a gross plot ratio (GPR) of 2.8 and climb up to 36 storeys. Currently, the building sports a GFA of roughly 211,976 sqft (PR 4.45), with a projected baseline of 213,383 sqft (PR 4.48).
According to Savills, the exclusive marketing arm steering the tender, developers could birth an ultra‑luxury estate featuring up to 98 units—each around 200 sqm (2,153 sqft).*
What the Big Gens Are Saying
“High Point marks the first luxury site on the market this cycle. We anticipate a bunch of local high‑end developers, plus a few from Hong Kong, to grab this gem. Luxury homes are scarcer than fresh sushi in Singapore, and High Point’s perfect for a sophisticated 36‑storey masterpiece aimed at ultra‑high‑net‑worth buyers atop the region.”
— Jeremy Lake, Managing Director, Investment Sales & Capital Markets, Savills Singapore
The Numbers in a Nutshell
Guide price: SGD 550 million, translating to SGD 2,508 per GPR unit when accounting for a 7 % bonus GFA (extra balconies). The bonus GFA brings an extra cost of about SGD 18.8 million. Savills cites hot sales at Parc Nova and Eden as a sign that buyers are willing to shell out for top‑tier luxury.
