The Orchard Residences
Posted by luxuryasiahome on October 28, 2007
“The Orchard Residences” is named for its most coveted and strategic location at the gateway of Orchard Road and for its affinity to the world-famous shopping street’s lead in luxury city living. It is also Orchard Road’s tallest landmark building, a stature and distinction approved by the authorities.
A limited 175 exclusive, super luxury apartments housed in the district’s tallest and most architecturally-definitive landmark aim to offer a lifestyle of timeless elegance and privacy in the midst of the vibrant city below. Standing at a commanding height of 218 metres and with no buildings nearby to rival its stature, the 56-storey residential tower will offer residences with breathtaking, unobstructed panoramic 360º views of Singapore.
Besides its world-famous and most expensive address, The Orchard Residences will also set unparalleled benchmarks in every aspect of luxury living by way of its all-encompassing design features that maximize its views and are attentive to every lifestyle need of those who have progressed well beyond personal success. All units will have unique enclosed alcoves that extend from the living and dining areas, as well as large master bathrooms with a curvilinear facade for optimal enjoyment of the views.
The Orchard Residences is also named for its pièce de résistance: a 75,000 square foot high-rise garden which architects have referred to as the development’s ‘fifth elevation’. True to its iconic building concept and design, which drew inspiration from the site’s heritage as an orchard, the re-creation of a private orchard located on the 9th floor will provide a habitat of quiet and serenity, amidst a spring-time botanic ambience for the exclusive use of its residents.
