Most Exclusive Freehold Condos in Singapore: 10 Boutique Luxury Residences to Know
In Singapore, land is the rarest luxury of all. Most prime homes sit on 99-year leases, which is why freehold condos in Singapore draw such quiet reverence from those who have already seen everything. Own it once, and it is yours in perpetuity, to hold, to pass down, to never think about again.
Here are the luxury freehold condos Singapore’s most private buyers keep close: small-scale addresses where the neighbours are few and discretion comes standard.
What Makes a Boutique Freehold Condo Worth Owning
Boutique condos in Singapore share a few traits. They have fewer residences, generous or full-floor layouts, private lifts and addresses in Districts 9 and 10. There, the Botanic Gardens, Orchard Road and the Tanglin clubs sit minutes apart. Scarcity does the rest. When a freehold home in these enclaves comes to market, it rarely comes twice.
The 10 Best Freehold Condos Singapore Has to Offer
1. Les Maisons Nassim
Fourteen homes in three five-storey blocks by WOHA Architects, on Nassim Road. Residences run from 6,049 to 12,077 sq ft, and the super penthouse sold for $75 million in 2021. If privacy has a postcode, this is it.
2. Sculptura Ardmore
Carlos Zapata’s sculptural tower rises 36 storeys with just 34 apartments, crowning the highest point of Ardmore Park. Living spaces face the greenery of Draycott Park, a view that feels private despite being minutes from Orchard Road.
3. Nassim Jade
Thirty-nine residences at 3 Nassim Road, ranging from 1,841 to 3,455 sq ft. It is mature and generously proportioned, a quieter way into one of Singapore’s most storied addresses.
4. Le Nouvel Ardmore
Forty-three freehold residences in the Ardmore–Draycott enclave, often called Singapore’s “billionaire belt.” The development has set fresh price highs over the years.
5. Park Nova
Shun Tak’s 54-residence tower at Tomlinson Road and Orchard Boulevard. A unit here reached $6,593 psf in January 2025, among the highest prices ever recorded for a Singapore condo.
6. The Nassim
Fifty-five homes on Nassim Hill, completed in 2015. Spacious luxury condominiums are scarce in this enclave, and this is one of the few.
7. Ardmore Residence
Fifty-eight units across 36 storeys at 7 Ardmore Park, with private lifts and a residence concierge by Capella Singapore. You get hotel-grade service and home-grade privacy.
8. The Marq on Paterson Hill
Sixty-six units, launched in 2007. It was the address that first crossed $6,000 psf in 2011 and remains a benchmark for trophy living.
9. Nassim Park Residences
Four five-storey blocks and 100 units, larger in scale but still low-rise in feel. Homes are mostly four-bedroom from 3,175 sq ft, with penthouses reaching 8,073 sq ft.
10. Draycott Eight
Low-density rather than strictly boutique: 136 residences on roughly 153,000 sq ft, with a conserved heritage clubhouse. Four-bedroom homes near 3,000 sq ft make it a gentler entry into the Ardmore address.
Choosing Your Freehold Address
The right choice depends on what you value most: the hush of Nassim, the skyline of Ardmore or the polish of Orchard Boulevard.
