Where is dleedon

There is a side gate here that leads you to the main Farrer Road. You can also access the Empress market from here, and the main bus stop.

One thing to note here is that the Empress market is a small food court, so relying on buying dinner here can leave you with limited options after a while. They seem to cater more for the lunch crowd. Thankfully aside from the glut of fitness stations, there is a full-sized basketball court in an attractive shade of purple.

Just taking a moment to appreciate a Zaha Hadid creation. Indeed, it does give you a futuristic vibe. At the end of the swimming pool, is the second clubhouse with the gym right at the bottom.

It is undoubtedly bigger than the average condo gym, with numerous exercise machines. But for this many units, I think it can be overly crowded during peak hours. The gym should really be bigger, or maybe even have more than one gym instead of all the outdoor fitness stations. There is a long water feature that surrounds the deck, where you get another view of the first swimming pool.

You know that a developer has a lot of land to work with when their water features are bigger than some condo swimming pools! This pool area feels quieter and more private for sure. Perhaps also because it is near the low rise villas. This could be an option for those who want a landed living feel with lots of space, but yet with the security and facilities that a condo provides.

As promised, round the back, there is a third tennis court. This comes along with more seating spaces, a barbeque pit, and another fitness station. Like the second pool, this area is generally more secluded and feels a lot more private. The D Leedon condo is located along Farrer Road and as the largest development in the area, is quite a sight to behold as you are driving along Queensway or from Farrer Road.

Even though you cannot access the development from the main road, it is on the better side of Farrer Road in my opinion. Farrer Road is terrible when it comes to peak hours.

So in the early mornings and knock off work hour, Farrer Road gets really heavy traffic. So the trade-off for accessibility to the major highways is the heavy traffic flow. So unlike condos like Gallop Gables and Sommerville Park on the other side, where there is nowhere else to go, you can get to places like Holland Village, Coronation, Hwa Chong, and even Sixth Avenue through all the small roads.

Of course, this is not something you will be doing all the time, but when the main roads are all jammed up it is a super convenient option to have. So if you come back via Queensway, it is an easy turn in at Leedon Heights. If you are driving to town, you would not have to do a U-turn at Empress Road.

Instead, you can go via Leedon Heights and out from Cornwall Gardens. This leads you to Holland Road, from which you can drive straight to Orchard, or turn right to go towards Queenstown. The site levels are re-organized into a series of terraced plateaus to maximise the areas dedicated to communal amenities. Connectivity and navigation within the site and towards the surrounding city become driving elements for overall site organisation. Car circulation is minimised by routing the part of the main driveway into the basement level, creating a pedestrian-friendly landscape throughout the whole development.

Environmental considerations and the location along the equator determined the orientation of the towers along the East-West axis in order to minimize solar gain. Sustainable features are introduced to allow generation and re-use of energy on site and minimize its consumption.

The residential programme accommodates units, distributed in 7 towers and 12 semi-detached villas, developing a GFA of over 2,2 million sqft. The concentration of residential units in towers with small footprint creates the opportunity for a fantastic public space for the residents and visitors at the ground level.

The bulk of the residential program is organized into towers, which grow from private gardens within the site landscape. Organic towers stand out in the park, emerging from the green layer as organic forms. The lower floors kink inwards to highlight the point where buildings meet the ground, enabling minimal site coverage and the creation of highly private gardens which are unique given the scale and density of the development.

The towers are designed with the concept of a petal which informs the plan layout, with a varying floorplan on different levels providing a range of sizes within the same vertical composition. The cut are also a design solution to accommodate and minimize the visual impact of external air conditioning units.

The petal typology works with the different apartment sizes, namely 4 petal plan for the Tower accommodating the largest units, a 6 petal arrangement for the mid-sized ones, and an 8 petal arrangement for the smallest unit types. There is also a variation of the 6 petal typology where there are 12 units per floor which can be combined, giving residents the possibility to buy a 2 bed and invest on the neighbouring 1 bed, which can be merged together once the family grows.

The demand for different unit types and sizes, ranging from 1 bedroom plus study to 4 bedrooms of different dimensions, is catered for by varying the floorplan size on different levels, creating over unique floor plans and a variety of volume modulation in the towers elevations.

The towers culminate at the top with a series of fingers stepped at different heights, which blend the transition between the architectural fabric and the sky. This distinctive feature of the different petals terminating at different levels, creates fantastic opportunities for penthouses with rooftops gardens and pools directly accessible from the petals below or on the side.

Garden duplex units are provided at the base of the towers, with private car park space underground. With direct access from the garage these special units benefit from higher floor to ceiling height and a private garden at ground floor. The interior of the residential unit is organized with entry and views in mind. Wonderful Place to live at. Posted by Victoria Ling on 14 Oct Wonderful place to live at.

Posted by Ming Teo on 08 Apr Their diversified global real estate portfolio includes joined developments, shopping malls, serviced residences, offices and housing projects. The types of units available are 12 semi-detached penthouse style units, giving that extra space and privacy. The 8 retail units on site also provide an extra level of convenience to the residents. Holland Village is 1 stop in the other direction. Dempsey Hill and Holland Village are both nearby, with the rich variety of drinking and dining options that they provide.

Posted by Jay on 15 Feb I've lived in D'Leedon for 2. The grounds and facilities are lovely and it is well suited for a family with young children or one seeking enrolment in nearby schools.
