It has been quite a while since there has been any new freehold launches in the Newton / Novena district. The last ones were 26 Newton and 8 Derbyshire (that has since sold out). 26 Newton has just a small handful of units left. (If you are interested in those, just drop us a line). So a few parties have already expressed interest in the 10 Evelyn condo that is opening for sale next month October. It is being developed by Amara Holdings (owner of Amara Hotel).

The location of this project is fairly convenient. From the side gate of 10 Evelyn opening onto Newton Road, it takes just 5 minutes walk to get to the nearest shopping centre, United Square. That's provided you cut diagonally across, and into Surrey Road, as a short cut there. There are a couple of other malls as well, Velocity and Square 2, located diagonally across the junction, at the Novena MRT station.

Coming from 10 Evelyn itself, that should take around 9 minutes walk to reach, both the MRT station and those two malls. So the nearer MRT station is actually Newton station, which also happens to be an interchange station joining the North-South MRT Line going down to Orchard Road, and the Downtown Line that heads towards Marina Bay.

Description of the 10 Evelyn Condo



This is 5 storey high freehold development. It comprise 56 apartments ranging from one bedders to 3 bedders. There are more of the one and 2 bedroom units, with only 4 units being 3 bedders. These are all two-level penthouses, with the master bedroom and bathroom at the 2nd level. The kitchenette is open concept, but designed in a U-shape so you could enclose it yourself if you want to.

If this project interests you, take a look at our 10 Evelyn page or register for updates.

The 10 Evelyn launch was supposed to have been in early September. Then it got delayed, partly because the showflat was not ready. The 10 Evelyn showflat is not on the site nor a separate building as is the case usually. Instead it is at 100 AM at Tras Street, part of the Amara building. It just showcases a one bedroom unit, but you do get to see the finishes and fixtures provided.
