With just 109 residential units, Amber Skye is an exclusive luxury residential development in the much sought-after East Coast / Tanjong Katong / Marine Parade area.
There are numerous other condo projects in the vicinity, a testament to the area’s status as the place to live in the East.
Amber Skye’s excellent design and environment make it a sanctuary away from the hectic city life for which Singapore is well known. This explains the development’s façade, which is supposed to represent the movement of waves.
Its units range from one- to three-bedroom configurations, as well as villas and penthouses.
Each unit has its very own private lift, quality marble flooring, high ceilings, and designer bathroom and kitchen fittings; most of the units also boast en-suite bathrooms.
The development is located near reputable schools such as Chung Cheng High, Tanjong Katong Girls’ School, and Tao Nan School, malls like 112 Katong and Parkway Parade, and exclusive clubs such as the Chinese Swimming Club and Singapore Swimming Club.
It is also a short drive from East Coast Park, easily accessible via the ECP, MCE and Nicoll Highway, and close to the upcoming Marine Parade and Amber MRT stations.

Hillion Residences is the first mixed-use development in western Singapore that incorporates residential units with a shopping mall, bus interchange, and MRT and LRT stations.
The 546-unit condo features one- to four-bedroom apartments, as well as penthouses, within three residential blocks that sit atop four storeys of retail space. At the same time, its name is a reference to the meaning of “Bukit Panjang” (long hill), befitting its proximity to Bukit Panjang Park and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
With a mall just below it and a direct connection to a bus interchange, residents have everything they could ask for in a single development: transport services, F&B outlets, and shops to suit every need. But if that’s not enough, the nearby Bukit Panjang Plaza and Junction 10 will vastly increase your retail options.
To add to the convenience of living at Hillion Residences, the upcoming Bukit Panjang, Cashew and Hillview MRT stations are all in the vicinity, alongside the Petir, Senja and Ten Mile Junction on the Bukit Panjang LRT line.
Hillion Residences is also a good choice for families, as there are many schools nearby, including Pioneer Junior College, Zhenghua Primary School, West View Primary School, Bukit Panjang Primary School and more.
