The government is releasing fewer freehold land parcels for residential development these days, so if you come across a freehold new launch – what’s more that is close to Orchard Road – consider it a rare opportunity.
And certainly, Cairnhill 16, Klimt Cairnhill and The Peak @ Cairnhill II are limited opportunities that no serious buyer would let go of without weighing the benefits of owning one.

Klimt Cairnhill
With its gilded façade, it’s no wonder that Klimt Cairnhill is known as the Golden Palace
The Peak @ Cairnhill II
Location
Cairnhill 16 is sited on Cairnhill Rise while The Peak @ Cairnhill II has a Cairnhill Circle address, but both are in fact just opposite one another. Klimt Cairnhill is just another road away on Cairnhill Road.
All three projects are surrounded by big household names on Scotts Road and Orchard Road. Goodwood Park Hotel, Far East Plaza, Grand Hyatt Singapore, Scotts Square, Tang Plaza, Lucky Plaza, Paragon and Mount Elizabeth Hospital – well, those are your neighbours.
There are three MRT stations within a 1km radius from all three developments, and they are Orchard, Somerset and Newton. Plus, here are the schools within 1km from home.

Cairnhill 16 and The Peak @ Cairnhill II provide private lifts for all units, while Klimt Cairnhill has private lifts for all except its 2-bedders.
Cairnhill 16 and Klimt Cairnhill have separate dry and wet kitchen for all units except their 2-bedders. The Peak @ Cairnhill II doesn’t have separate dry and wet kitchens.
Ladies of the house who desire walk-in closets, take note: Cairnhill 16 has this feature for its 4-bedders while Klimt Cairnhill has for all its units except its 2-bedders. The Peak @ Cairnhill II units don’t come with walk-in closets.
Penthouse suites in Klimt Cairnhill and The Peak @ Cairnhill II come with the added luxury of a private Jacuzzi.
The Peak @ Cairnhill II is the only project with household shelters for its units.
Cairnhill 16’s TOP is a good four years away (15 Sep 2026) and currently all of its 39 units are still available for sale. Klimt Cairnhill’s expected TOP is in 2024 and, at this moment, there are still 131 units on offer. The Peak @ Cairnhill II has sold 17 of its 60 units so far, so there are still 43 units available.

If you’re interested to know the buyer profile, here are the breakdowns for Klimt Cairnhill and The Peak @ Cairnhill II.
Comparing two-bedroom units for all three projects
Cairnhill 16
For Cairnhill 16, we’re looking at a 775-sq-ft unit. This can be found in stack 3, which faces south and overlooks the Orchard area where plenty of skyscrapers are in sight. Units in higher levels enjoy a full scenic view of the skyline.
The 2-bedder has a squarish layout but this unit is equipped with a private lift. The private lift first leads to the living room followed by the dining area and kitchenette with a second entrance to the unit at the left.
Klimt Cairnhill
For Klimt Cairnhill, we are looking at a 829-sq-ft two bedder. This can be found on stack 4, which faces north and overlooks Newton Flyover and Scotts Road with a skyscraper skyline view.
All 2-bedders in Klimt Cairnhill are located on stacks 4 and 5. By right, both stacks are able to enjoy views of Goodwood and Novena City, but from stack 5, you are only able to spot Novena City because the view towards Goodwood is slightly blocked by stack 4.
The 2-bedders in Klimt Cairnhill don’t come with private lifts like in Cairnhill 16 and The Peak @ Cairnhill ll.
However, there’s plenty of cabinet space in the kitchens, so those inclined towards heavy use of their kitchens will probably prefer Klimt Cairnhill.
The Peak @ Cairnhill II
Lastly, for The Peak @ Cairnhill ll, we’re looking at a 2-bedder with the same unit size as Klimt Cairnhill’s 2-bedder which is 829 sq ft. This is the smallest 2-bedder unit in The Peak @ Cairnhill ll and it can be found either on stack 2 or stack 4. Stack 2 faces north and west, while stack 4 faces south and east.
The north view overlooks the Newton Flyover and Scotts Road with skyscraper views. From here, you can also see Goodwood and Novena City.
The east view overlooks the iconic Istana, Bukit Timah Road and Kallang. The South view overlooks the Orchard area where plenty of skyscrapers are in sight. Units in higher levels enjoy a full scenic view of the skyline.
The west view faces Tanglin and the Botanic Gardens as well as Cairnhill Road with skyscraper views.
Both stacks enjoy views of two different directions because they have planters and bay windows in both bedrooms which the other two projects do not have. Both stacks face the entrance and exit of the development too.
In all, The Peak @ Cairnhill ll’s 2-bedders are a good option for those looking for excellent views from their units.

Facilities
Below is a list of facilities available in the three projects. It’s good to note that all three projects come with luxury facilities like Jacuzzi.
For those who enjoy social events and entertaining, Cairnhill 16 has different kinds of themed pavilions such as its feature, 660 and tepanyakki pavilions.
Klimt Cairnhill is the only project without sky terrace facilities, but it compensates with a host of facilities spread across six levels. One of its highlights is the poolside-dining pavilion where residents can host parties by the pool. Its clubhouse is a grand conserved bungalow that now boasts lounges and private dining rooms. Klimt Cairnhill is also pet friendly.
The Peak @ Cairnhill II has only a handful of facilities, but these are the essentials that people love, such as a gym, swimming pool and a rooftop common area for outdoor chilling. Drivers would be pleased to hear that The Peak provides mechanical parking facilities where vehicles will be automatically driven to and from the car parks.
