Ridout Park has been among the more prominent GCB areas in recent years, less so because of its transactions, but because of the controversy surrounding the rental of 2 massive Black & White bungalows by Ministers K. Shanmugam and Vivian Balakrishnan at 26 and 31 Ridout Road respectively. In 2023, an independent review led by…

Kheam Hock Road is among the more unique roads in Bukit Timah, extending 1.6km from Dunearn Road to Lornie Highway, which was opened in 2019. The road cuts underneath the PIE and through Bukit Brown Cemetery to Lornie Highway, which connects Upper Thomson Road to the PIE, Adam Road and Farrer Road, giving residents increased…

Singapore’s residential property landscape has transformed dramatically over the years. From sleepy kampongs and shophouses to high-rise condominiums of today, the aesthetics of what a ‘home’ should look like has changed significantly. Prices of homes have also moved up in tandem with Singapore’s prosperity. The unintended consequence of this is that many ’boutique’ developers of…

Ridley Park is one of the most exclusive and yet least mentioned GCB areas – in my opinion, it doesn’t get as much attention as the likes of Nassim or Cluny Park but ought to be mentioned in the same breath. You could say that i’m a retrospective genius, since I am writing this after…

Rebecca Park is the smallest GCBA of the 39 in Singapore at just 3.84ha (414,411 sqft). It is located among the cluster of 9 GCBAs and you can get there via Victoria Park or Bin Tong Park. Testament to its size, I estimate that there are only about 23 GCBs within this estate, making it…

If you recall Singapore’s original Monopoly game, Queen Astrid Park was one of 2 most expensive areas alongside Nassim Road, highlighting its ultra luxury status in the local property scene. It is one of the largest GCBAs and includes properties on Coronation Road West. It is located off Sixth Avenue and Holland Road and shares…

Oei Tiong Ham Park is located off Holland Road and situated in the ‘core’ GCB cluster, bordered by 9 GCB Areas including Queen Astrid Park, Leedon Park and Ford Avenue. This GCBA also includes houses along Jalan Sampurna. Some of the GCBs at Oei Tiong Ham Park are within walking distance to Holland Village MRT.…

Nassim Road is Singapore’s most exclusive and prestigious address. Singapore’s most expensive GCB is found here, when Wing Tai’s Cheung Wai Keung sold 33 Nassim Rd, with 84,544 sqft of land, at $230m ($2,720 psf) in 2019 to SG Casa, a trust reportedly owned by Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin. The previous price record was also…

Kilburn Estate was likely named after an area in London within the Borough of Camden although the one here does not actually contain any road bearing such a name. Instead, Yarwood Ave forms the bulk of this GCBA with Wilmonar Ave and Denham Close being the minor roads. It is bounded by Dunearn Road and…

Garlick Avenue is located off Bukit Timah Road and can be accessed primarily from Old Holland Road or Sixth Avenue. Accordingly, it is very close to the 34ha site at Holland Plain (or commonly known as Old Holland Rd Field) which will yield some 2,500 new homes as part of the URA Masterplan. This GCBA…
