10 Evelyn is a 56-unit freehold boutique condominium on Evelyn Road in Singapore’s District 11 Newton belt, a six-minute walk from Newton MRT (NS21 / DT11) and one Downtown Line stop from Orchard Road. Designed by Mok Wei Wei of W Architects and developed by Creative Investments Pte Ltd under the Amara Holdings umbrella, the project comprises four 5-storey-with-attic blocks around a central lap-pool courtyard. Unusually for a listing tagged a “new launch”, 10 Evelyn has already obtained its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP Obtained 2022) and its Certificate of Statutory Completion. The current release is a private-treaty sale of developer-held stock, transacted on an as-is-where-is basis with immediate handover.

Design language — a “village-scale” boutique
10 Evelyn follows the signature Mok Wei Wei approach: low-rise blocks broken up with pitched-roof gables, terracotta-stained vertical gardens on all four residential volumes, and a central courtyard animated by a 20-metre lap pool. Mok describes the brief in his own words: “We crafted 10 Evelyn as a unique boutique development with a village-like scale and ambience.” The elevational strategy deliberately reads as residential (not institutional), which fits the surrounding Newton landscape of low-rise strata blocks and older walk-up apartments.
Communal facilities are concentrated rather than sprawling: a gymnasium, the 20m lap pool, pool deck with sun-loungers, landscape courtyard with a lawn, and a side gate opening onto Newton Road for walk-out access.
Location — prime Newton at a 7-minute MRT walk
Evelyn Road is one of the quiet residential roads that branch off Newton Road, tucked between the Newton interchange (MRT NS21 / DT11) to the east and the Singapore Botanic Gardens belt to the west. From 10 Evelyn, the project brief confirms a 7-minute walk to Newton MRT, a 9-minute walk to Newton Food Centre, a 10-minute walk to United Square Shopping Mall and 15 minutes’ walk to Anglo-Chinese School (Primary). By car, Mount Elizabeth Novena is 3 minutes, Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) is 5 minutes, ION Orchard is 7 minutes and Singapore Botanic Gardens is 10 minutes.
| Destination | Mode | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Newton MRT (NS21 / DT11) | Walk | 7 min |
| Newton Food Centre | Walk | 9 min |
| United Square Shopping Mall | Walk | 10 min |
| Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) | Walk | 15 min |
| Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital | Drive | 3 min |
| ION Orchard / Orchard MRT | Drive / 1 MRT stop | 7 min drive |
| Singapore Botanic Gardens | Drive | 10 min |
For schools: Anglo-Chinese School (Primary), Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), Singapore Chinese Girls’ Primary, St Joseph’s Institution Junior and St Margaret’s Primary are listed within the catchment. Secondary-tier options include Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road), Raffles Girls’ School, St Joseph’s Institution and SJI International. Tertiary-level neighbours include LASALLE College of the Arts and the MOE Language Centre.
Sales mechanism — private treaty with immediate keys
Because 10 Evelyn has already obtained TOP and CSC, the sales process differs from a typical off-plan new launch. Developer units transact via Private Treaty on an “As Is Where Is” basis, meaning buyers take delivery of the unit in the condition it stands at the point of sale. The payment schedule is compressed relative to progressive-payment off-plan purchases:
Payment schedule at a glance:
- Booking / OTP: 1% Option Fee.
- Exercise: further 4% (within 2 weeks of OTP) — payable to Creative Investments Pte Ltd.
- Stamp duties: Buyer’s Stamp Duty + ABSD (if any) payable within 14 days of OTP exercise.
- Completion: balance 95% due within 8 weeks of exercise — typical mortgage financing drawdown applies.
Booking payee is Creative Investments Pte Ltd; bank transfer details are provided in the sales kit. Buyers should always verify the Option to Purchase template, the Sale & Purchase Agreement and the Title Deed through their own conveyancing solicitor before paying any exercise fee.
Worked example — BSD, ABSD and cash-at-exercise
Illustration: S$3.5 million purchase, Singapore Citizen first property
- 1% OTP = S$35,000 (paid at option).
- 4% Exercise = S$140,000 (paid within 2 weeks).
- Buyer’s Stamp Duty (BSD) on S$3.5m = S$144,600. (1% on first S$180k + 2% next S$180k + 3% next S$640k + 4% next S$500k + 5% next S$1.5m + 6% on the S$500k above S$3m.)
- ABSD (Singapore Citizen, first residential) = 0%.
- Indicative 75% LTV mortgage = up to S$2.625m. Minimum 5% cash (S$175,000) is already covered by the 5% option + exercise, leaving the remaining 20% (S$700,000) to be funded from cash and/or CPF OA.
- Minimum cash outlay by completion = ~S$319,600 cash (option 1% + exercise 4% + BSD) plus any CPF or cash component to top up the 25% downpayment if CPF OA is insufficient.
For Permanent Residents first property, add 5% ABSD = S$175,000. For Foreign Buyers, add 60% ABSD = S$2.1m. Always stress-test against the 55% Total Debt Servicing Ratio.
Who it suits
- Owner-occupier families who need to move in immediately — school starts, expatriate assignments, lease expiries — and cannot wait for an off-plan project’s 3-4 year construction window.
- Upgraders from HDB prioritising walking-distance MRT access and an ACS / SCGS 1 km catchment.
- Freehold-income investors who want rent-ready stock to begin yielding from month one, with no progressive-payment interest drag.
- Downsizers looking for a low-rise boutique community rather than a high-density tower.
Developer track record — Creative Investments Pte Ltd (Amara Holdings)
Creative Investments Pte Ltd is the project vehicle for 10 Evelyn under the Amara Holdings group. Amara Holdings is an SGX-listed hospitality and real-estate operator (stock code A34) with a residential pipeline that extends beyond its Amara-branded hotel portfolio at Tanjong Pagar and Tanjong Beach. The group’s residential development strategy has typically targeted freehold boutique formats in the Core Central Region, with 10 Evelyn sitting in that same strategic lane.
Key takeaway. 10 Evelyn’s unusual angle is not its design, although Mok Wei Wei’s boutique elevational vocabulary is a genuine draw — it is the combination of a completed freehold District 11 address with a private-treaty payment mechanism. Buyers who would normally queue for an off-plan CCR launch are effectively skipping the construction-risk window and inheriting a commissioned building. Trade-offs: smaller total pool of remaining units, less price discovery (no public launch day), and the immediate 95%-at-completion cashflow profile rather than 3-4 years of progressive payment.
Frequently asked questions
Is 10 Evelyn freehold?
Yes, 10 Evelyn sits on freehold land at 10 Evelyn Road, Singapore 309312, within the Newton Planning Area (District 11).
Has the building received TOP and CSC?
Per the developer’s information sheet: TOP Obtained 2022 and CSC Obtained. Buyers therefore take delivery of a fully completed building, not an off-plan unit.
How many units are there?
56 residential apartments across four 5-storey-with-attic blocks, plus 56 carpark bays and 2 special lots.
Who designed 10 Evelyn?
Mok Wei Wei of W Architects. The firm is Singapore-based and well regarded for tropical-modern residential work at boutique scale.
What is the sale mechanism?
Private Treaty sale of developer-held units on an “As Is Where Is” basis. Payment structure: 1% Option Fee, 4% Exercise within 2 weeks of OTP, stamp duties payable, 95% completion within 8 weeks of exercise.
What schools are within 1 km?
Anglo-Chinese School (Junior & Primary), Singapore Chinese Girls’ School, St Joseph’s Institution Junior and St Margaret’s Primary are listed in the catchment. Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road), Raffles Girls’ School and St Joseph’s Institution are within the secondary-tier distance band.
Is Newton MRT walkable?
Yes — approximately a 7-minute walk. Newton is an interchange between the North-South Line (NS21) and the Downtown Line (DT11), and is one MRT stop from Orchard.
What ABSD applies to a Permanent Resident buyer?
5% ABSD applies to a Permanent Resident purchasing a first residential property (on top of Buyer’s Stamp Duty). See the worked example above for a S$3.5 million illustration, and our ABSD Singapore Complete Guide 2026 for the full rate table.
Does the “As Is Where Is” basis mean no defects liability?
Buyers should read the Sale & Purchase Agreement carefully, as developers typically still carry a defects liability period (DLP) under the Housing Developers (Control and Licensing) Act for a completed project. The “As Is Where Is” clause in a private-treaty sale typically speaks to the condition of the unit at point of sale (fit-out, finishes, existing wear) rather than structural defects. Obtain a legal review before exercising.
Is financing available the same way as off-plan?
Because the unit already has TOP, banks will typically require a full loan drawdown at completion (95% of price within 8 weeks of exercise), rather than staged progressive payments. Buyers should pre-approve their In-Principle Approval (IPA) before signing the OTP.
Is 10 Evelyn the same as 10 Evelyn Road Condominium?
Yes — the common naming on URA caveats and in the sales kit is “10 Evelyn”, developed by Creative Investments Pte Ltd and architected by W Architects.
