The d’Leedon has just completely sold out, in August 2018. If you are looking for another new residential condominium around this District 10 / District 11 location to buy, you might want to consider 10 Evelyn or The Atelier.
These new developments are in many ways very different from d’Leedon, almost diametrically opposite in fact. For a start, 10 Evelyn is comparatively much smaller. Just 56 units versus the 1,715 units at d’Leedon. It is also a low rise project, 5 storeys high, compared to the 36 storey high towers of d’Leedon.
The 10 Evelyn condominium is therefore designed on a small intimate scale, with four blocks clustered around a central courtyard that features a 25m long lap pool and some facilities. Contrast this with the sprawling d’Leedon site that spans over 800,000 square feet of land, with 7 soaring towers, 3 huge pools, 2 clubhouses, a big gym, and innumerable spas, jacuzzis and so on, supported by its own 7 shops.
The other noteworthy difference is that d’Leedon is a 99 year leasehold property, while the Atelier and 10 Evelyn condo are on freehold land. All three projects however, are firmly rooted in established prime private residential estates, on the outskirts of the Orchard Road shopping district, and within 5 minutes drive of it.
All are also within walking distance of an MRT station. While d’Leedon is around 6 minutes walk from the Farrer MRT station on the Circle Line, 10 Evelyn is almost mid-way between the Novena and Newton MRT stations on the North-South Line, and the Atelier condo is about 7 minutes walk from Newton station. From 10 Evelyn, you could get to either station within 7 to 8 minutes walk. But the 10 Evelyn and Atelier locations are slightly more convenient in that they have 3 shopping centres within walking distance too – namely United Square, Velocity @ Novena, and Square 2. In fact, United Square is barely 5 minutes walk away, offering quick grocery shopping and dining options.

The other interesting fact is that both D’Leedon and 10 Evelyn are designed by brand name architects. d’Leedon is famous for having the late London-based architect Zaha Hadid as its design architect. 10 Evelyn on the other hand, is designed by home-grown internationally recognised W Architect, who have been responsible for several award-winning designs. Each has its own distinct theme – d’Leedon with its curvilinear forms, and 10 Evelyn with its solid but elegant forms that exude a home-like appeal.
