A two-storey semi-detached house at 61 Jalan Kelawar has been put up for sale by tender, with offers expected to hover at around $7.84 million or $2,500 per sq ft, revealed sole marketing agent Knight Frank.
Enjoying a nine-metre frontage along Jalan Kelawar, the freehold property occupies a 288.0 sq m (3,100 sq ft) site that is zoned “residential, two-storey semi-detached” under the 2019 Master Plan.
The house is situated within an exclusive residential enclave near the Orchard Road shopping belt as well as the future Orchard Boulevard MRT station.
Knight Frank noted that the immediate vicinity is “predominantly residential in nature, comprising landed housing as well as high-end condominium and apartment developments”.

Given the site’s location, the property is expected to receive strong interest, said Ian Loh, Head of Capital Markets for Land & Building, Collective & Strata Sales, Knight Frank Singapore.
“We continue to see very strong interest for high-end homes and landed houses, especially those in popular locations. Landed homes in close vicinity of Orchard Road are very rarely available, thus we expect the property to attract strong interest,” he said.
The tender for 61 Jalan Kelawar closes on 22 December.

Apex Asia Management Group Unveils Artisan 8 – A Rare Freehold Mixed-Use Development in Prime Upper Thomson
Apex Asia Management Group (AAMG) is proud to announce the official preview of Artisan 8, a rare freehold mixed-use development located at 8 Sin Ming Road, in the well-established Bishan–Thomson neighbourhood. This marks the first freehold mixed-use launch in District 20 since 2019, offering a unique opportunity for both homebuyers and investors looking for quality homes in a mature, city-fringe location.
Artisan 8 is a boutique development that comprises 34 residential units and 8 ground-floor commercial shops, all thoughtfully designed to provide a seamless blend of private living and everyday convenience. The residential units range from one- to four-bedroom layouts, with a limited collection of penthouses catering to a diverse range of lifestyle needs. Indicative prices start from $998,000 for a one-bedroom unit, $1.598 million for a two-bedroom, $1.989 million for a three-bedroom, and $2.7 million for penthouses. The commercial units, priced from approximately $3,400 per square foot, are suitable for a wide range of uses including food and beverage, convenience retail, and lifestyle services. These shops are expected to enhance daily living for residents while also offering strong rental and capital appreciation potential for investors.
Located in a prime city-fringe enclave, Artisan 8 enjoys excellent transport connectivity. It is situated just 200 metres, or a three-minute walk, from Upper Thomson MRT station on the Thomson–East Coast Line, and a ten-minute walk from Marymount MRT station on the Circle Line. The development is also well connected to major expressways, including the Central Expressway (CTE) and the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE), offering convenient access to the rest of the island.
Families will find Artisan 8 especially attractive, as it is located within 1 kilometre of two of Singapore’s most established schools—Ai Tong School and Catholic High School. This close proximity to reputable educational institutions, combined with the project’s freehold status, adds long-term value for owner-occupiers and investors alike.
In addition to its strong transport and education credentials, Artisan 8 is surrounded by a vibrant lifestyle environment. Residents can enjoy an array of popular cafés, eateries, and daily amenities in the Upper Thomson area, as well as green escapes such as MacRitchie Reservoir. This unique blend of urban convenience and tranquil greenery is a key highlight of the development’s appeal.
Artisan 8 was developed following AAMG’s acquisition of the former Sin Ming Centre in April 2024. Designed with a vision to integrate artistry and function, the project is a tribute to timeless craftsmanship and intentional design. The name “Artisan” reflects this design philosophy, while the number “8” symbolises prosperity and harmony, rooted in both the address and cultural tradition.
The on-site showflat, located at 8 Sin Ming Road, is now open for public preview. Visitors can view a fully fitted 721 square foot two-bedroom unit. Interested parties are welcome to contact any of the appointed agencies—ERA, Huttons, PropNex, or SRI—for enquiries and viewing appointments.
