When one thinks of city living, few projects come to mind, much less freehold projects. The Hyde is a rare project in this regard, providing you a living experience in the heart of the city (Tanglin Area) all the while being a freehold property. Furthermore, The Hyde is located along 11 Balmoral Road, which is sandwiched between the education belt along Bukit Timah Road and the bustling shopping district along Orchard Road. Be it play or study, The Hyde covers the best of both worlds.
Background
The Hyde is an exclusive freehold condominium by Aurum Land. It is a 12-storey building with 117 rare residences located in the Tanglin area, along 11 Balmoral Road.
The developer of the Hyde, Aurum Land, is the winner of the Best Boutique Developer Singapore 2015 and a wholly-owned subsidiary by Woh Hup Group.
