The Meyerise
Overview & Key Facts
The Meyerise occupies one of Singapore’s most coveted residential addresses — Meyer Road in District 15 — a freehold seafront enclave that has long been synonymous with quiet prestige and East Coast living at its finest. Developed by Hong Leong Holdings Limited and designed by P&T Consultants, this 239-unit freehold condominium was completed in 2016 and comprises two slender 31-storey towers on a 10,613-square-metre site at 93, 95, and 97 Meyer Road.
What distinguishes The Meyerise from even its well-heeled Meyer Road neighbours is the developer’s decision to build tall and slim rather than squat and dense. With only eight stacks across two towers, approximately 75% of units command unobstructed views of the sea, the city skyline, or the surrounding landed estate — a proportion that few developments in the corridor can match. The strategic positioning means that even mid-floor units on sea-facing stacks enjoy the kind of panoramic vistas that are typically reserved for penthouses elsewhere.
PropertyLimBrothers’ review describes it as “District 15’s freehold project with panoramic sea and city views” — a characterisation that neatly captures its core proposition. At an average of $2,662 psf over the last 12 months with a gross yield of 2.6%, The Meyerise sits in the upper-mid tier of District 15 pricing — below the ultra-luxury Meyer Blue and Meyerhouse, but commanding a premium over older freehold stock along the same stretch. The buyer profile reflects the address: 73.6% Singaporean, 12.9% PR, 12.2% foreign, and 1.3% corporate — a healthy mix that underscores both local owner-occupier confidence and expatriate rental demand.
Location & Connectivity
Meyer Road is the quieter, more exclusive sibling of Amber Road in District 15’s freehold belt. While Amber attracts traffic from Parkway Parade and the Marine Parade commercial strip, Meyer Road remains a low-traffic enclave flanked by a landed estate to the north and East Coast Park to the south. Multiple feeder roads lead onto Mountbatten Road, which means the area is unlikely to suffer from congestion even as the district densifies. For drivers, the East Coast Parkway (ECP) is virtually at the doorstep — the CBD is 10–12 minutes away, Changi Airport under 20 minutes.
The opening of the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) has been transformative for this stretch. Tanjong Katong MRT is approximately 820 metres from The Meyerise, while Katong Park MRT is 870 metres — both on the TEL. This gives residents a genuine two-station option: Tanjong Katong connects northward to the city, while Katong Park provides southbound access to Bayshore and the future Marine Parade interchange. Before the TEL, Meyer Road condos were essentially car-dependent; the line has removed that stigma entirely, though 820 metres is still a 10–12 minute walk rather than a doorstep commute.
For daily amenities, Parkway Parade is a 5-minute drive or short bus ride — one of the East Coast’s anchor malls with Cold Storage, a cinema, and extensive F&B. i12 Katong is even closer, offering a more boutique mall experience with Gourmet Market and lifestyle retailers. The Katong food scene — one of Singapore’s richest — is within a 5-minute drive, centred around East Coast Road with its Peranakan heritage shophouses, laksa stalls, and independent cafes.
For families, Tanjong Katong Primary School (1.18 km) and Tao Nan School (1.31 km) are the closest government primary schools. The area is also well-served by international schools: Canadian International School (Tanjong Katong campus), Chatsworth International School (East), and EtonHouse International School are all within a short drive — a key factor for the expatriate tenant pool.

Facilities
With 239 units, The Meyerise is a mid-sized development — large enough to support a meaningful set of facilities, but compact enough that overcrowding is never an issue. The centrepiece is a 480-square-metre swimming pool flanked by a cascading bridge feature, supplemented by a fun pool (75 sqm), children’s pool (50 sqm), chaise pool (55 sqm), and Jacuzzi (50 sqm). The total aquatic offering is generous for a development of this scale — roughly 710 sqm of water features serving 239 units translates to nearly 3 sqm of pool per unit, well above the industry average.
The clubhouse serves as the social hub, housing a multi-purpose lounge, gymnasium, and reading pavilion. A rooftop BBQ pavilion offers elevated entertaining with views, while the tennis court provides a sporting option that many newer, smaller developments have dropped entirely. There is also a steam room, a kitchenette within the clubhouse for cooking enthusiasts, and a fitness corner on the grounds.
The facilities are finished to a standard befitting the development’s positioning — Hong Leong’s reputation for build quality is evident in the common areas, landscaping, and pool deck. That said, facilities enthusiasts comparing The Meyerise to mega-developments like The Meyerise’s own neighbours (such as the 1,024-unit Costa Rhu or the upcoming Grand Dunman with 1,008 units) should calibrate expectations: a 239-unit condo cannot offer the same breadth of amenities as a development four times its size. What The Meyerise delivers instead is exclusivity — you rarely share the pool with more than a handful of residents, and the BBQ pavilion is bookable without the weeks-long wait common in larger developments.
“The pool features multiple jet loungers and a cascading bridge, and kids enjoy the pools with different areas. Tennis court is well maintained.”

Unit Sizes & Layout
The Meyerise offers 10 distinct floor plan types across 239 units, ranging from 2-bedroom units at 871–883 sqft up to spectacular penthouses at 5,382–5,483 sqft. The core of the mix comprises: 2-bedroom (A1: 872 sqft, A2: 883 sqft), 3-bedroom (B1: 1,281 sqft, B2: 1,313 sqft, B3: 1,270 sqft, B4: 1,302 sqft), 4-bedroom (C1: 1,819 sqft), 4-bedroom + study (D1: 2,056 sqft, D2: 2,013 sqft), and penthouses. The unit sizes are generous by 2016 standards — 3-bedrooms averaging 1,290 sqft sit comfortably above the 1,000–1,100 sqft that has become the norm in recent new launches.
Every unit in The Meyerise comes with private lift access — a feature that was genuinely luxurious in 2016 and remains a significant differentiator. The lift opens directly into a private foyer for each unit, providing a level of privacy and exclusivity that common-corridor designs simply cannot replicate. For families with young children or elderly parents, the security and convenience of stepping from lift to home without navigating a shared hallway is a meaningful quality-of-life upgrade.
Finishings are high-end throughout: marble flooring in living and dining areas, kitchen appliances from Brandt and De Dietrich, ducted air-conditioning throughout common areas, and hot water supply to bathrooms. The build quality reflects Hong Leong’s pedigree — fit and finish are noticeably above the mass-market new launches that have proliferated in the district since 2020.

Neighbourhood Comparison
The District 15 freehold corridor is one of Singapore’s most competitive sub-markets, and The Meyerise’s positioning requires careful comparison. Grand Dunman ($2,537 psf) offers 1,008 units on a 99-year lease with direct Dakota MRT access — it is the scale-and-connectivity play, but buyers sacrifice freehold tenure and the Meyer Road address premium. Emerald of Katong ($2,640 psf) is the value new launch, also 99-year, positioned closer to Tanjong Katong MRT with a Sim Lian price advantage — but it lacks sea views and the established resident community that The Meyerise offers.
Amber Park ($2,536 psf) by CDL is the closest comparable in the Amber belt — 592 units on a 99-year lease with a rare 213,675-sqft land parcel and proximity to Tanjong Katong MRT. It is newer (TOP 2024) and larger, but again carries leasehold tenure. The Continuum ($2,790 psf) offers freehold status further inland at Thiam Siew Avenue, but trades sea views for landed-enclave quiet and proximity to Paya Lebar.
The Meyerise’s freehold advantage is significant over a multi-decade horizon. In a district where 99-year new launches are now pricing above $2,500 psf, a freehold development at $2,662 psf with proven capital appreciation, private lifts, and sea views looks increasingly attractive on a relative-value basis. The trade-off is size: at 239 units, The Meyerise lacks the mega-development facilities breadth and resale liquidity of a Grand Dunman or Amber Park. For buyers who prioritise tenure, views, and exclusivity over facilities volume and MRT proximity, it remains one of the strongest cards in District 15.
| Development | Tenure | TOP | Units | ~Avg PSF |

What Residents Say
“Blk 93 has unblocked sea views, especially beautiful at night with the ships’ lights twinkling in the distance. Private lift to each unit, great ocean view, nice pool facilities, large BBQ pits, tennis courts and a large function room complete with a kitchen. And best of all, direct access to the pedestrian underpass to get on the East Coast Park bicycle lane.”
— Resident review via 99.co
“Direct underground pass located at the back gate that gets you across the ECP and to the beach. How awesome and safe to cycle to the park. The ramps make it so much easier for strollers and bicycles.”
— Resident review via 99.co
“High-end condo where most residents are business people or expats. Less noisy compared to other condos. The pool has multiple jet loungers and a cascading bridge — kids love the different pool areas.”
— Resident review via 99.co
The pattern across review platforms is remarkably consistent: residents prize the sea views, private lift access, and the East Coast Park underpass above all else. The development scores 4.6 out of 5.0 on 99.co from 16 reviews — one of the higher ratings in the district. Singapore Expats recommends it for city living, outdoor activities, families with children, and luxury seekers. The resident demographic skews toward professionals, business owners, and expatriate families — a profile that keeps the development quiet and well-maintained. Common criticisms are few: some residents note that the facilities, while well-maintained, are not extensive compared to mega-developments, and that the 820-metre walk to MRT can feel long in Singapore’s heat.

Verdict
The Meyerise is the kind of development that ages well. A freehold Meyer Road address, Hong Leong build quality, private lift access in every unit, generous floor plans, and direct East Coast Park connectivity via an underpass — these are attributes that become more valuable over time, not less. The 21% PSF appreciation over the past five years ($2,180 to $2,640) confirms that the market agrees.
At $2,662 psf, it is competitively positioned within the District 15 freehold segment. Amber Park next door trades at $2,536 psf (99-year leasehold), while new launches like Grand Dunman ($2,537, 99-year) and Emerald of Katong ($2,640, 99-year) command similar or higher prices without the freehold tenure that The Meyerise offers. The Continuum at $2,790 psf is a freehold alternative further from the sea. For buyers who value tenure security and a proven track record over the new-launch premium, The Meyerise represents compelling relative value.
The question marks are familiar ones for this segment. MRT access at 820 metres is workable but not walk-out convenient — the TEL has been a game-changer for the area, yet The Meyerise remains better suited to car-owning or ride-hailing households than daily MRT commuters. The 2.6% gross yield is adequate but unexceptional by RCR standards, reflecting the higher entry quantum. And with only 239 units, the resale market is inherently less liquid than larger developments — sellers may need patience to find the right buyer at the desired price.
For owner-occupiers seeking a freehold East Coast lifestyle with sea views, quality finishings, and the kind of quiet prestige that Meyer Road has always represented, The Meyerise is one of the strongest options in the corridor. For investors, the freehold tenure provides structural downside protection, and the TEL-driven connectivity improvement is still being priced in. Either way, this is a development that rewards long-term holders — and penalises short-term speculators looking for quick flips.
