Condo Review: Meyer House
Updated: Aug 21

Meyer House - An ultra-luxury home in the East.
Located in the prestigious Meyer Road area in District 15, the freehold Meyer House is developed by a joint venture between Singapore-listed property firm UOL Group and privately-held property development and investment firm Kheng Leong Co.
They approached a trio of famous names in design to create this condominium in the East which can rival those in the traditional prime districts. This set a new benchmark at Meyer Road.
Based on the site's gross plot ratio of 1.4, the developers could have redeveloped the site into a new private condo of 203 units, with each apartment averaging about 700sqf in size.
However, there was a lack of high-end spacious units in the East Coast area. As such the developers opted to develop just 56 luxurious units at Meyer House.
"Nassim of the East" is thus born.

Location
District 15 has always been a highly sought after location, both for own stay and for investment. According to an article by Edgeprop, District 15 is one of the Top 5 most-searched districts by property buyers.
Meyer road is the prime area of District 15. This is where rich businessmen have lived for many generations. A huge part of Meyer Road is reserved for landed properties, with a segment of it zoned only for bungalows.
For many die-hard East Coast fans, Meyer Road is definitely the most prestigious area in the East. It is no wonder developer UOL and Kheng Leong set their eyes only on Meyer Road when they want to build this ultra-luxury condo aka "Nassim Of The East".

Surrounding Amenities
Meyer House is surrounded by greenery. Step out of the side gate and you will step into the Meyer Road Playground. Though this is a public playground, developers UOL and Kheng Leong are seeking approval to redevelop and enhance the public park at their own cost. They want to make the playground feels like an extension to the development's internal landscape garden.

Balcony
The balconies for all the units are designed as an extension to the living room. It is uniquely built as it uses an outer layer of venetian blinds to keep out sun or rain; and an inner layer that retains 95% of the air-conditioning.

Furnishings
The units are fully fitted with timber flooring in the living room and full marble bathrooms with Axor bathroom fittings,

In the kitchen, Miele kitchen appliances including double-door integrated refrigerator, washer and dryer will be provided.

Conclusion
Meyer House is a highly differentiated product and appeals to a niche group of buyers. It is akin to an art piece and is a trophy property that can be passed from generation to generation.
