Residents of d’Leedon celebrated the completion of the eight-hectare project by witnessing a world record-setting feat on Saturday.
Musician William Close played the world’s longest stringed instrument, the Earth Harp, which was stretched from the development’s clubhouse rooftop to the 36th floor of another tower at the other end.
He said, “The belief that architecture is frozen music is what brought me to perform this monumental record-setting feat at d’Leedon, one of the most remarkable architectural projects in Singapore. I hope the audience could experience the association between my emotive music and the breathtaking, flowing silhouette of d’Leedon.”
Located at Leedon Heights in District 10, the project is the largest residential developments in Singapore, in terms of the total number of units.
CapitaLand Singapore, Hotel Properties Limited, and other joint venture partners were present at the celebration.
Lim Ming Yan, CapitaLand President and Group CEO, said, “Indeed, d’Leedon has created a new page in the history of Singapore for being the first high-rise residential project to be designed by internationally-renowned Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Zaha Hadid, and also for hosting a record-setting feat of having the longest stringed musical instrument ever played in the world – a performance that was visually and musically spectacular.”
d’Leedon offers 1,703 apartments units and 12 semi-detached houses, and 85 percent of the project were sold as at the end of September.
