Scotts Square Residence is the go-to freehold condo for those looking for luxury living with great features like a rooftop infinity pool. We doubt anyone would regret this high purchase price, as the rooftop pool excels any outdoor fun.
if you’re looking for a luxury condo near Orchard Road shopping belt, then Scotts Square residence will be perfect for you. Freehold condominiums are hard to come by along the main road, but there are some other options such as Lucky Plaza Apartments and to a certain extent Orchard Towers.
None of which are synonymous with luxury or have any facilities to speak of. Of course, the more famous luxurious option would be the Orchard Residences, but this is a 99-year leasehold property. So, if you’re looking for freehold status, modern living, and to be right on Orchard Road, you really only have one prime candidate here: the Scotts Square condo.
One of the great things about the Scotts Square condo is that you’re just a short walk to MRT. Coming out of the development gives you access via an underground passage to Tangs Plaza, where you can get into the MRT station. Perhaps the only downside here would be that if it’s raining, you will need your umbrella for the walk to Tangs. In the future, once the Thomson-East Coast Line is up, the connectivity will be improved even further, with the construction site right next to Ion.
One last potential downside of the location of Scotts Square condo is the proximity to schools. There are two international schools within walking distance of the condo, namely International Schools Singapore (ISS) and Chatsworth International School. In terms of good local schools, Raffles Girls’ School, Singapore Chinese Girls’ School and Anglo-Chinese School are not too far off, but they’re not close enough to walk to either.
For parents with younger children, there are MindChamps Preschool at Paragon and Pat’s Schoolhouse at Claymore, both within walking distance. However, considering the unit sizes and development, we do not think this will be an issue for most prospective buyers as the Scotts Square is really more for investors and couples without children or older, more independent children.
Scotts Square residence has a perfect rectangular shape, this is beneficial because it’s close to the ERP but also close to the Orchard Shopping Belt. Unfortunately, there is no access to the lower levels of the building from the back – only a pedestrian entrance at Nutmeg road. For a prime city development, this is really good enough. One potential drawback of this location would be the traffic flow in and out of the building. The building is located near a pedestrian crossing, which could cause traffic to build up during peak hours.
We were quite surprised by the size of each unit for a prime condo complex, especially because new launches over the past few years have been at 500 square feet or more. The private lift lobby does take up some space, but it is still very liveable. However, there are no penthouse apartments, with the biggest apartment coming in at 1249 square feet. So, if you need more space than a three-bedroom, the Scotts Square condo would not be able to accommodate your needs.
When you arrive at the condo, it’s hard not to notice how spacious and welcoming the drop-off point is right in the middle of Scotts Square. It feels like you’re pulling up to a hotel in a big city!
Located in the entrance to the building at the lobby is where you can instruct deliveries to be sent in the event that you are not home. You can collect these when you get back. This should come in handy for many people
Scotts Square probably has a higher average selling price than a luxury condo in a different area, but not so much if you compare it to other places in this area, such as Twentyone Angullia Park and Ritz-Carlton Residences. Additionally, you have to take into account that the Scotts Square condo is in the most prime location and the most convenient as well.
For sale, Scotts Square units were once priced as high as $4, 803 PSF. With time and lower demand, apartments now average at around 40% of those prices so they’re much more affordable today. Additionally, the unit size at Scotts Square are substantially smaller than that of TwentyOne Angullia Park Residence and the Ritz-Carlton Singapore. It means that for a more affordable quantum you can also get a better value.
We think that the Scotts Square condominium is an impressive development if you’re looking for luxury urban living. The views of downtown are unparalleled, and the amenities are also top-notch.The location is beautiful and the facilities are among the best you’ll find. The lobby area, pool, gym and private elevator to each unit are just the icing on the cake. The garden has obviously been maintained meticulously over the years. It only received TOP last year, but it looks like it could have received that award anytime within the last decade.
If you’re a fan of the hotel experience, then this development will be right up your street. they put a lot of thought into the design and everything screams quality. As always with a city condominium, if you are fine with the smaller unit sizes and hustle and bustle in Orchard Road, this is quite a special oasis in town that you just have to visit for yourself.
With a city condominium, there are many small units and a bustling lifestyle. If you are fine with these aspects of the condo, the Scotts Square Residences in Singapore is a special oasis.
