Cairnhill Nine is a mixed development consisting of condominium units and serviced residences. Developed by CapitaLand, this 30-storey über luxury development is situated on prime Orchard Road land and at 122 metres, is touted as the area’s tallest building.
In addition to the 30-storey residential tower with 268 units, Cairnhill Nine features a 20-storey serviced residence development called the Ascott Orchard Singapore.
To be connected via a link bridge to Paragon Shopping Mall, Cairnhill Nine’s residents won’t have to travel far for any leisure activity, when the entirety of the Orchard Road shopping, dining and entertainment belt is at their doorstep. Schools such as Chatsworth International School and Anglo-Chinese School (International) Singapore are also nearby.
On top of its connectivity, Cairnhill Nine is also shielded from much of the noise from the busy Orchard Road area, due to its location behind Heeren, in a quieter part of Orchard.
Each bedroom type is designed differently in Cairnhill Nine, with specific colour schemes and aesthetics to differentiate them.
The units also come partially furnished, with built-in cabinets (they are the first in Singapore to use Air Door technology), kitchen appliances and unique sliding wardrobes.
