Nassim Road is Singapore’s pièce de résistance in the Good Class Bungalow (GCB) sector, an address that speaks of prestige, legacy riches and architecture distinctiveness. Such an exclusive enclave is home to some of the most precious landed properties, where large freehold land lots range from 15,000 sq ft to over 40,000 sq ft — each with an unprecedented degree of seclusion and grandeur. The proximity of the estate to Orchard Road, the Singapore Botanic Gardens, as well as top-notch international schools makes it highly desirable to ultra-high-net-worth individuals both from abroad and within.
The Nassim GCB market is of the utmost rarity and highly coveted for wealth preservation. Transactions are few, as homes are typically owned by long-established families, institutional investors and discriminating foreign purchasers who have fulfilled stringent ownership requirements. Transactions in recent times have achieved record-breaking prices time and again, reflecting the resilience of this market even in periods of economic instability. Ninety per cent of Nassim homes are custom-designed masterpieces that integrate contemporary luxury with heritage conservation for buildings of architectural significance. Land supply is tightly controlled, and demand is never slackening. Nassim Road remains one of the most exclusive and desirable GCB enclaves in Singapore’s high-end property market.

The site at this Nassim GCB spans an impressive total land area of approximately 58,784 sq ft, comprising three distinct plots that offer a unique blend of heritage and modern luxury. Plot 1, the largest at approximately 28,138 sq ft, is a conservation plot, preserving the rich architectural heritage of the estate while allowing for tasteful enhancements. Complementing this, Plot 2 (15,779 sq ft) and Plot 3 (14,867 sq ft) provide additional opportunities for bespoke development, whether as extensions of the main residence or as separate exclusive dwellings. This rare assemblage of land within Singapore’s most prestigious GCB enclave presents endless possibilities for customisation, making it an unparalleled offering in the ultra-luxury property market.
The potential buyer could build up to three new bungalows or a single large bungalow and possibly convert the conservation bungalow in the rear into a clubhouse or entertainment venue. This prime site is up for sale for all three plots or just the rear plot with the conservation bungalow for an asking price of $130.89 million or $4,296 psf.

Nassim GCB: Where Heritage Meets the Future of Architecture
Renowned architect Edmund Ng of Edmund Ng Architects (ENA) was invited to impart his professional knowledge and innovative ideas on harmoniously integrating modern elements to improve the appearance and livability of the colonial-styled Nassim GCB.

Amid the tree-lined serenity of Nassim Road, a colonial-era mansion stands out as a testament to Singapore’s architectural heritage. Its terracotta-tiled roofs, louvred timber windows and elegant verandahs tell a story of a time when homes were designed to breathe, adapt and live in harmony with the tropical climate.
“This Nassim GCB represents a masterfully conserved Good Class Bungalow, seamlessly marrying heritage preservation of the highest order with contemporary refinement. Unlike the sleek mansions that dot today’s landscape, this estate is a triumph of time-honoured craftsmanship, where every architectural detail was meticulously studied, preserved and enhanced,” describes Ng.

Guided by Ng’s vision, ENA has created a timeless design that seamlessly integrates heritage conservation with contemporary luxury. The thoughtful and transformative architectural approach cultivates a respectful dialogue between past and present, preserving the estate’s historical integrity.
“This is not just a house — it is a living legacy, where the principles of conservation meet discreet technological innovation to deliver an unparalleled living experience,” Ng adds.
