Meyerhouse
What does S$3,124 psf actually buy you on Meyer Road in 2026 — and is paying a freehold premium for a 56-unit boutique worth it when a fresh wave of leasehold and freehold launches is reshaping the entire Marine Parade-Tanjong Rhu corridor? That is the question buyers circling MEYERHOUSE keep returning to. The development has been quietly trading above S$3,000 psf since its 2024 reset (as of 2026-05), even as the average D15 condo trades closer to S$2,200–S$2,400 psf, and most direct comparables on Meyer Road sit in the S$1,800–S$2,600 band. The premium is real, the architecture pedigree (WOHA, Yabu Pushelberg, Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl) is genuine, and the private-lift-to-every-unit format is genuinely rare in Singapore. The question is whether those three things justify what is now roughly a 30–40% PSF gap over its neighbours. This review walks through the data, the trade-offs, and where MEYERHOUSE fits in a portfolio.
Overview & Key Facts
MeyerHouse is not merely a condominium — it is a statement of intent about what ultra-luxury residential living on Singapore’s East Coast can look like. Completed in 2021 by UOL Group in joint venture with Kheng Leong Group, this 56-unit freehold development at 128 Meyer Road occupies the former Nanak Mansions site and delivers a product that belongs more to the Nassim Road conversation than the typical District 15 one. The development was designed by WOHA Architects — the Singapore firm behind the World Building of the Year 2018 (Kampung Admiralty) — with interiors by the globally acclaimed Yabu Pushelberg, whose portfolio spans the Four Seasons, Park Hyatt, and Edition hotels. Landscape design by Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl completes the triumvirate.
The numbers tell the story of exclusivity: just 56 units across five low-rise storeys, set within grounds that include a one-hectare forested park. The unit mix is entirely large-format — 10 three-bedroom apartments (1,862–2,110 sqft), 40 four-bedroom apartments (2,820–3,444 sqft), and 6 penthouses (5,662–5,683 sqft). There are no one-bedrooms, no two-bedrooms, no compact investment units. MeyerHouse was conceived as a place to live, not a place to flip. Every unit has a dedicated private lift and lobby, and all four-bedroom and penthouse units come with an exclusive private car park space — a feature Singapore’s market had not seen before at this scale.
At a median price of $7,697,000 and average transaction of $7,960,162, MeyerHouse operates in a quantum bracket that excludes casual buyers by design. The development won Top Luxury Development (Residential) at the EdgeProp Singapore Excellence Awards 2020 and the Apartment/Condominium Winner at the International Property Awards (Asia Pacific) — recognition that reflects the calibre of execution. For buyers who understand the difference between expensive and valuable, MeyerHouse represents the East Coast’s most ambitious attempt at genuine luxury since the corridor’s transformation began.
Location & Connectivity
Meyer Road runs parallel to the coastline between Tanjong Katong and Amber Road, and has long been one of East Coast’s most coveted residential strips. MeyerHouse at 128 Meyer Road sits on the quieter, more residential stretch, buffered from the East Coast Parkway by a generous belt of landed properties. This arrangement preserves upper-floor sea views while providing a noise buffer that developments directly fronting the ECP lack. The immediate neighbourhood is low-density and leafy — a character that the development’s five-storey height deliberately respects rather than dominates.
The Thomson-East Coast Line has fundamentally altered Meyer Road’s connectivity calculus. Tanjong Katong MRT (TE25) is approximately 660 metres away — an 8–9 minute walk that is comfortable if not truly doorstep. Katong Park MRT (TE26) provides a second option at 950 metres. The TEL connects directly to Marina Bay in roughly 10 minutes and Orchard in about 20 minutes without transfers. Before the TEL opened, Meyer Road was effectively car-dependent; the new line has materially upgraded the transport equation, a structural change that MeyerHouse buyers who entered before the TEL’s completion benefit from retroactively.
Daily amenities are well covered. Parkway Parade — the anchor mall of Marine Parade — is a short drive away with Cold Storage, cinema, food court, and extensive retail. i12 Katong and Katong V offer closer alternatives, while the Katong and Joo Chiat heritage precincts deliver one of Singapore’s richest food and lifestyle corridors within reach. East Coast Park is accessible via the Marine Parade underpass, providing beach, cycling paths, and waterfront dining that most of Singapore can only visit on weekends.
The school catchment serves families well. Tanjong Katong Primary School sits at 1.0 km, Tao Nan School at 1.14 km, and CHIJ (Katong) Primary at 1.15 km — all within or near the 1 km priority enrolment zone. For international schooling, Canadian International School (Tanjong Katong campus) is 1.37 km away, and EtonHouse International at Broadrick is 1.33 km. Broadrick Secondary and Tanjong Katong Girls’ School round out the secondary options within 1.5 km.

Facilities
For a 56-unit development, MeyerHouse’s facilities are curated rather than exhaustive — and that is the point. The centrepiece is a 50-metre lap pool set within the one-hectare forested park that Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl designed to evoke the rolling landscapes of the English countryside. A clubhouse, function room, indoor gym, sun deck, tennis court, BBQ pavilion, and children’s playground complete the communal offering. Security is 24-hour with concierge service befitting the price point.
“The grounds are beautifully maintained — it feels more like a private estate than a condo. The 50-metre pool is almost always empty. You never queue for anything.”
— Resident review via PropertyGuru
The landscape design deserves special mention. Where most condominiums treat greenery as decorative filler between concrete facilities, MeyerHouse treats the forested park as the primary amenity. Mature trees were preserved during construction, and the resulting grounds have a density of vegetation that new developments cannot replicate even with aggressive planting. Walking through the grounds feels closer to entering a botanical garden than a condominium car park. This is not accidental — Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl is the same firm behind Singapore’s Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park and the Alexandra Canal Linear Park.
The honest caveat: the gym, while adequately equipped, is compact relative to the price bracket. Serious fitness users may find it limiting compared to what a standalone gym membership provides. However, the counter-argument is compelling — with only 56 units, every facility operates at effectively private-residence utilisation rates. The pool, tennis court, and BBQ areas are available on demand rather than by booking or queuing. For residents coming from larger developments, this alone justifies the premium.
The defining facility feature, however, is architectural rather than recreational: every unit has a dedicated private lift lobby and direct lift access. Four-bedroom and penthouse units additionally have exclusive private car park spaces. This eliminates shared corridors and common lift lobbies entirely, creating a living experience that is functionally closer to a landed home than a condominium. MeyerHouse was the first residential development in Singapore to offer this configuration at scale.
Unit Sizes & Layout
MeyerHouse’s unit mix is radically simple: 10 three-bedroom units (1,862–2,110 sqft), 40 four-bedroom units (2,820–3,444 sqft), and 6 penthouses (5,662–5,683 sqft). There are no studios, no one-bedrooms, no two-bedrooms. The smallest unit in the development is 1,862 sqft — larger than the biggest unit in most new launches. This is a deliberate product decision by UOL that signals exactly who MeyerHouse is for: families and individuals who require space and are willing to pay the quantum for it.
The four-bedroom units, which constitute 40 of the 56 apartments, are the development’s sweet spot. At 2,820–3,444 sqft, they offer layouts that are genuinely palatial by Singapore standards. Each bedroom comfortably accommodates king-sized furniture with room to spare. Living and dining areas are proportioned for actual entertaining, not the “efficient” compromises of new-launch compacts. Kitchens are fitted with Gaggenau appliances — the same brand specified in many Good Class Bungalows — and wet and dry kitchen separation is standard. Bathrooms feature Laufen sanitary ware and natural stone finishings curated by Yabu Pushelberg.
The three-bedroom units at 1,862–2,110 sqft serve as the development’s entry point, though “entry point” is relative when the starting price exceeds $7 million. These units still dwarf the three-bedrooms at competing developments — compare 1,862 sqft to Grand Dunman’s three-bedrooms starting around 958 sqft or Emerald of Katong’s at roughly 1,000 sqft. The six penthouses at over 5,600 sqft each occupy the top floor and offer private roof terraces with unobstructed views towards the sea.
| Bedrooms | Transactions | Avg PSF | Avg Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 BR | 4 | $2,688 | $5,019,654 |
| 5 BR | 39 | $2,580 | $8,261,753 |
Pricing & Market Position
Based on 43 recorded transactions, sale prices range from $4,889,000 to $14,200,000, averaging $7,960,162.
Rents range from $12,000 to $36,000 per month across 27 rental transactions. Current rental yield sits at approximately 3.0%.
Price Appreciation
From 2021 to 2024, the average PSF has appreciated by 22.5% (from $2,550 to $3,124 psf).
Neighbourhood Comparison
Comparing MeyerHouse to its District 15 neighbours requires acknowledging that the comparison is somewhat artificial. Grand Dunman ($2,537 PSF, 99-year from 2022, 1,008 units) and Emerald of Katong ($2,640 PSF, 99-year from 2023, 846 units) are mass-market new launches with compact units and leasehold tenure — they serve a completely different buyer profile. Their three-bedrooms at 950–1,050 sqft are roughly half the size of MeyerHouse’s smallest unit. The PSF comparison is misleading because the absolute quantum and the living experience are incomparable.
Among freehold competitors, The Continuum ($2,790 PSF, freehold, 816 units) offers freehold tenure in District 15 but at vastly higher density with smaller units and without the bespoke design credentials. Amber Park ($2,537 PSF, freehold, 592 units) by City Developments is the more relevant comparison — a freehold Amber Road address with generous sizing completed in 2023. Amber Park offers larger unit counts and more conventional luxury finishings at a lower PSF, making it the pragmatic freehold alternative for buyers who want space without MeyerHouse’s architectural ambitions. Aalto, also on Meyer Road, provides another freehold comparison with private lifts and sea views, though its 2010 vintage shows in the finishings.
The most instructive comparison, however, is with District 10’s ultra-luxury segment. Developments like The Nassim ($3,500+ PSF, 55 units) and Eden ($3,200+ PSF, 20 units) share MeyerHouse’s DNA: extreme low density, freehold tenure, celebrity architects, bespoke interiors, and quantums that filter for committed owner-occupiers. MeyerHouse’s PSF trend — $2,550 rising to $3,124 — suggests the market is gradually recognising this positioning. The discount to District 10 equivalents reflects East Coast’s historically lower price ceiling, but the gap may narrow as the TEL matures and the Katong corridor’s transformation continues. For buyers priced out of Nassim Road but unwilling to compromise on design quality and exclusivity, MeyerHouse offers the closest experience outside the prime districts.

What Residents Say
“The interiors are on another level entirely. Yabu Pushelberg’s touch is evident everywhere — the door hardware, the cabinetry, the stone selections. It feels like living in a boutique hotel, except it’s home.”
— Owner review via PropertyGuru
“The private lift and lobby for each unit is the single best feature. No shared corridors, no bumping into neighbours at the lift. It genuinely feels like a landed home stacked vertically. The forested park is stunning — my children play there every weekend.”
— Long-term resident via 99.co
“Beautiful development but management can be a bit uppity. Delivery riders get treated poorly at the guardhouse, which is embarrassing. The pool is gorgeous and always empty though — you feel like you own the place.”
— Resident review via EdgeProp
“We moved from a much larger development and the difference in daily experience is night and day. No queuing for the pool, no fighting for BBQ slots, no strangers in the lobby. The trade-off is that the gym is small and there’s no co-working space. But for the peace and privacy, we would not go back.”
— Owner feedback via Boulevard
The resident feedback pattern at MeyerHouse is remarkably consistent compared to most developments. Those who bought into the vision — the architecture, the space, the privacy, the craftsmanship — are overwhelmingly positive. The forested grounds, the private lifts, and the near-zero competition for facilities generate genuine enthusiasm that reads as pride of ownership rather than post-purchase rationalisation. Criticisms, where they surface, tend to focus on management attitude (particularly towards delivery and service personnel) and the inherent limitations of a 56-unit development: a compact gym, limited on-site social infrastructure, and a quietness that some find peaceful and others find isolating. ECP noise is mentioned but less frequently than at neighbouring developments, likely because MeyerHouse’s low-rise profile sits below the noise corridor that affects taller towers. The consistent thread is that residents value what MeyerHouse chose to be — a crafted, private, low-density estate — rather than what it chose not to be.
- Genuine private-lift-to-every-unit format. All 56 units have a dedicated lift opening into a private lobby — not a shared lift core. This is structurally rare in Singapore; even at the luxury end, most projects share a lift between 2–4 units per floor. The format means zero shared corridors, hotel-grade arrival, and a landed-home feel in a stacked block (as of 2026-05). Worth modelling the lifetime maintenance cost via the total cost of ownership calculator before assuming the format is friction-free.
- Freehold tenure on Meyer Road. Most Meyer Road / Tanjong Rhu stock is 99-year leasehold (The Line @ Tanjong Rhu, Meyer Mansion, Costa Rhu cluster) or older mixed-tenure. Freehold inventory in the corridor is structurally scarce, which protects bargaining power on the resale exit (as of 2026-05). Compare the long-run implications via our freehold vs 99-year leasehold complete analysis.
- Unit sizes that no new launch will replicate. 3-bedrooms start at 1,862 sqft and the penthouse hits 5,683 sqft (as of 2026-05). For context, most post-2023 D15 launches price 3-bedrooms at 1,000–1,250 sqft to keep absolute quanta below S$3.5m. MEYERHOUSE sizes are now a structural moat — see why this matters in our unit size sweet spot analysis.
- Architecture and interior collaboration. WOHA architecture, Yabu Pushelberg interiors, and Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl landscape. This is the only Singapore residential project to combine all three in the last decade (as of 2026-05). It is the design pedigree that EdgeProp's project profile repeatedly flags. Hardware, stone selections, and cabinetry are visibly above the D15 norm.
- Two TEL stations now within reach. Tanjong Rhu MRT (TE23) opened June 2024 and Katong Park MRT (TE24) is part of TEL Stage 5 on track for 2026 (as of 2026-05). Per LTA's Thomson-East Coast Line page, the corridor finally gets parallel-rail redundancy on top of ECP road access. Walking times to MEYERHOUSE drop materially. Stress-test the commute against your daily anchor via our commute-time map.
- Tightly-held supply. Only 43 sales have been recorded since 2021 (as of 2026-05) — just 17 in 2021, 25 in 2022, zero in 2023, one in 2024. The owner base is selling reluctantly. That is a positive resale signal: low turnover at this PSF level usually means residents bought to live, not to flip. Audit the broader corridor liquidity using our D15 district page.
- Rare 5-storey block with 30m pool. The low-rise envelope keeps the development feeling private; the 30m pool serves only 56 units, so capacity-per-unit is materially higher than at 200–400 unit comparables. Anecdotal reviews from Stacked Homes' Meyer House review repeatedly highlight near-empty pool sessions (as of 2026-05).
- The PSF premium is now ~30–40% above the Meyer Road comparable set. MEYERHOUSE last cleared at S$3,124 psf (Jan 2024). The Seafront on Meyer transacted at S$1,808–S$2,599 psf in the last 12 months, with an average of S$2,290 psf. The View @ Meyer hit S$2,400 psf in May 2025 (as of 2026-05). Per PropertyGuru's Seafront on Meyer page, current corridor depth is S$2,290–S$2,712 psf. A buyer is paying for the design + lift format; the question is whether the next exit buyer agrees. Run the scenarios in our ROI calculator before committing.
- Quanta-driven liquidity risk. 1,862 sqft 3-bedrooms at S$3,124 psf imply ~S$5.8m absolute quanta; penthouse-scale units push past S$14m (as of 2026-05). The buyer pool at S$5m+ in D15 is structurally thinner than at S$2m–S$3m, which is where most D15 stock trades. Resale exits can be slow even when PSF holds — only one transaction cleared in all of 2024. Model the financing stack with our mortgage calculator and the TDSR calculator.
- Rental yield around 3.0% — respectable but not exceptional. Rents range S$12,000–S$36,000/month across 27 leases, on quanta that imply ~3.0% gross (as of 2026-05). That is broadly in line with the D15 luxury freehold band, but it does not compensate for the PSF premium versus newer leasehold projects. Pressure-test your assumptions with our rental yield optimization guide.
- New supply on the doorstep. The Tanjong Rhu Road GLS site cleared at S$1,455 psf ppr in late 2025 (top bid by the CDL/Bedrock Ventures JV), and Meyer Blue is launching with a sea-view freehold tilt nearby (as of 2026-05). Both will deepen corridor liquidity but compete for the same buyer wallet. EdgeProp's GLS coverage sets the baseline for what new-launch psf will look like by 2027–2028. Track the launch wave via our new-launches map.
- The Meyer Road frontage is busy. The site fronts a 4-lane road with constant peak-hour East Coast Parkway feeder traffic. Lower-floor sea-view units in the immediate corridor have historically traded at a small discount versus higher-floor stack — the 5-storey envelope at MEYERHOUSE means "higher floor" tops out at level 5 (as of 2026-05). Stack noise exposure varies materially within the block.
- Maintenance fees scale with private-lift format. Every unit being served by its own lift means lift count and lift-shaft footprint per unit are unusually high for a 56-unit block, which feeds into managing-agent and sinking-fund costs over the long horizon (as of 2026-05). Ask the property manager for the 5-year MCST fee trajectory before assuming the premium-format upside has no carrying cost.

]
MEYERHOUSE earns its premium conditionally. For a multi-generation owner-occupier who values privacy, design pedigree, and freehold tenure in a corridor about to be parallel-served by Tanjong Rhu MRT (TE23, open 2024) and Katong Park MRT (TE24, TEL Stage 5 in 2026), the S$3,124 psf clearing level (as of 2026-05) is defensible — the private-lift-to-every-unit format and 1,862-5,683 sqft floor plates are structurally non-replicable in any new D15 launch. For a yield-first investor or a quanta-sensitive upgrader, the math does not clear: the ~3.0% gross yield and S$5.8m+ entry quanta lose to multiple alternatives both within D15 (Meyer Blue, future Tanjong Rhu GLS) and adjacent districts. The decisive question for any prospective buyer is whether they value the architecture, the format, and the freehold legacy enough to absorb a ~30–40% PSF premium over their direct comparables — and to accept that resale liquidity at this quanta band is thin (only one transaction in all of 2024). Anchor that decision with our affordability calculator, the stamp duty calculator, and a conversation through our advisor finder.
