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…

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…

Holland Park is bounded by Holland Road and the GCB areas of Ridout Road and Pierce Road. It takes its name from Hugh Holland, an architect, amateur actor and early resident of the area. This GCBA is closely tied with the billionaire Lien family, who derived their wealth from Overseas Union Bank, and continues to…

This GCBA’s name has origins tracing back to John Frazer’s nutmeg plantation in the 1830s, where the land was used for exercising horses. Woollerton Park, having previously been named Gallop Hill, was only named in 1949 after the last pre-war General Manager of Asiatic Petroleum Co (Shell today). Interestingly, this GCBA also shares the name…

Thiam Siew Avenue comprises of some 25 houses with a mix of semi-ds and bungalows, making up almost 265,000 sqft of land. It is a dual lane road connecting Tanjong Katong Road to Haig Road in prime District 15. The lane is surrounded by high rise condos such as Butterworth 8, Versilia on Haig and…

In my previous post, I shared that the First / Third Ave GCBA also includes Second Ave and while that GCBA contains only the “odd” avenues, this one here contains only the “even” ones. Unsurprisingly again, it also includes houses on Fifth Ave, which is actually has a very steep incline as well. As with…

Although its official name only has First and Third Ave, this GCBA also unsurprisingly includes Second Ave and parts of Namly Hill and Namly Ave. Many people know this GCBA to be home to our former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong. Fourth / Sixth Avenue belong to another GCBA which I will cover next. Located…

Brizay Park GCBA is accessed via Old Holland Rd / Wilby Rd and shares a common boundary as Garlick Ave GCBA. The Old Holland Rd area is home ground for the MGS Alumnae given its <1km distance. The nearest MRT is King Albert Park, which will be within a 12-15 min walk for most homes…
-
The Holland Rise GCBA comprises of just 2 no-through roads – Holland Rise and East Sussex Lane. While no through roads are usually hallmarks of exclusivity, its location just off Holland Road is both a boon and a bane. Boon because it’s the only GCBA on the same side of the road as Lor Mambong…
