This translates to views even for ground floor units and enhanced privacy for residents.The meticulous division of residential units into two distinct tower blocks creates a sense of spaciousness despite being on a relatively small land plot. Intentionally spaced 63 metres apart, the north and south blocks are also purposefully staggered to maximise unobstructed views of the city for all units.Units come in one to four-bedroom configurations with three penthouse units. Notably, one and two-bedders make up the bulk of units.D9 falls under the Central Area URA Master Plan. Under the Central Area Master Plan, Orchard will be refreshed in planned stages to incorporate more activities in the area. Instead of solely being a shopping belt, Orchard will have more to offer by expanding the land use diversity and creating more jobs and business opportunities.The completion of the TEL also significantly boosts connectivity to the city centre, further reinforcing the condo’s investment potential.Orchard Road will be upgraded from a shopping haven to a mixed-use urban corridor with seamless connectivity to the Singapore Botanic Gardens and Fort Canning Park. This will form a portion of a 6km green corridor linking key historic landmarks along the Singapore Botanic Gardens, The Istana, Fort Canning Park and the Singapore River.Irwell Hill Residences is arguably one of the condos with the best locales in the area given its D9 location and a much shorter walking distance to Great World MRT station opposed to various other condos in the area.For investors looking at the prospects of rental yields, the presence of quite a few other older condos dating back to the 70s and 90s may give the development a competitive edge in the rental market.The future rejuvenation of the Orchard/Paterson area will also give the area a new facelift with new developments introduced that can further add to the capital growth of the development.Check out Irwell Hill Residences listings for unit for sale and for rental in PropertyGuru Singapore.
