 Anderson Green
Upscale Singapore
Condominium.
21 Anderson Road. Next to Stevens Road, 5-minute walk to Orchard Road.
Between Gardenville Condo and the Avalon Condos. Near Shangri-la Hotel.
Completed in March 1999.
No. of units: 34. One block of 10 stories.
VERY LOW DENSITY CONDO IN A HIGH CLASS DOWNTOWN LEAFY RESIDENTIAL ENCLAVE
5 unit types:
Type A1 3+study+utility room, 2411sf inclusive of open terrace at first storey.
Type B 3+study+utility room, 1916sf from 2nd - 8th storey.
Type C 3+utility room, 1668sf from 2nd - 8th storey.
Penthouses are:
Type D1, 4+study+utility room, 4941 sq. ft inclusive of open terrace and roof garden, on
9th & 10th storey.
Type E, 4+utility room, 4316 sq. ft inclusive of open terrace and roof garden.
These penthouses have the following interesting features:
The one on the extreme left side of the building closer to Anderson Road (#09-04) has
better unobstructed views than the right-sided penthouse (#09-01) as there are other tall
buildings obstructing the views. However, the authorities do not permit access to the
balcony of the master bedroom by the occupants for the #09-04 penthouse.
LEVEL 1: (9th storey). There is the private lobby from the private lift. The living area
is separated from the dining area by the staircase which goes to level 2. As the wooden
steps have large gaps when seen in 2000. The toddler or climber may be at risk and
therefore this type of housing excludes families with young kids. The living area is not
the usual rectangular shaped but is curved and opens out to a private terrace where you
can put a table and 4 chairs to appreciate the sun rise. The dining area opens out into a
small balcony at the side of the building.
For Type D1, the bedroom 4 (with long bath) and study room (no wardrobes) are located on
level one. Type E has only bedroom 4 (no long bath but shower).
Below is a description of a penthouse #09-01. 4 penthouses (top floor) with
clear full length windows & roof terrace.

Kitchen - Ice-making Amara
refrigerator, Bosch oven & hobs of stainless steel with ducting to the outside the
kitchen (unlike most condos), kitchen has air conditioning, a favoured attraction for
Caucasian wives, city gas, hot & cold water.
For Type D1, the kitchen and yard areas are not separated unlike Type E. Both have small
utility rooms which may not be able to accommodate a maid.
Prospective tenants with $15,000 rental budgets usually have maids in Singapore.
Type E has a powder room and store but not in Type D1.
LEVEL 2: (10th storey). Master bedroom with walk-in closet, spacious bathroom with glass
blocks to let in sunlight, dual basin, bidet, water closet and a pentagon shaped jacuzzi
bath There is the shower though. The other 2 bedrooms have attached bathrooms but no long
baths, just shower cubicles.
There is a family area away from the master bedroom, outside bedroom 3 and this provides
some peace. However, the family area is curved in shape and looks down the living room
below. Again, this design pose a risk of falling down to the living area for toddlers and
climber-kids.
ROOF TERRACE. The area is relatively large and does not have so many ugly piping seen in
some penthouses. The light-coloured tiles make the roof terrace look inviting to host
parties. The faucet and electrical points permit barbecue and entertainment of guests.
BUILT-IN AREA. Approximately 2800 -
3000 sq. ft for those areas excluding the roof terrace, according to the Developer's
representative.
Washing machine and dryer (European brands, taking 5kg
loads) will be stacked up one upon the other in one area of the kitchen for smaller
units.
Bigger kitchen in the 4-bedroom units.
Rubbish chute outside apartment is a good idea as the smell and cockroaches will not be
present inside the apartment.
Utility room - small but has attached bathroom except for Type E which has a separate W.C.
A short maid may be able to sleep in this utility room.
Bathrooms - all bedrooms have attached baths, except the study room. Master bedroom's
bathroom has only hair-dryer but not shaver electrical points. The 4+1 has a glass-blocks
bringing in bright daylight. A vertical rectangular window permits outside views. The long
bath is a triangular-sized jacuzzi and looks too short and shallow for the average
Caucasian. There is the shower cubicle. Dual basin, bidet and WATER CLOSET available.
Powder room - yes in Types A1, B, C and E but not D1.
Many American wives will want a powder room as this means guests do not need to use the
bathrooms of the bedrooms.
FACILITIES:
Impressive entrance lobby
which has granite flooring. 2 lifts.
24-hour security. Private lift lobby, audio & visual intercom systems, 24-hour
security & video surveillance of lift lobby.
Swimming pool (rectangular shape) with jacuzzi at one end, wading pool & sauna.

Near Orchard Road via a 5-minute walk from Stevens Road.
This condo gives a good impression that only high
quality finishes are used,from the basement car park to the penthouse.
Its pastel colours, beautiful but small pool and landscaping has a resort-type ambience
which will attract Caucasians.
The American and Tanglin Clubs, Starbucks and Planet Hollywood cafes and the popular
Orchard Road are within a 15-minute walking distance.
2. Walking distance to Orchard Road. About 20-minute walk to Orchard subway.
3. Many supermarkets, cafes and pubs around the downtown area. Jasons
Supermarket will be the Caucasian favourite.
4. Many food and beverage outlets, Lido Cineplex and shopping malls in Orchard
Road.
5. Beautiful unobstructed green tree views for 4+1 units near Anderson Road.
6. Many taxis.
7. A prestigious address and residential area with the multi-millionaires as
neighbours.
8. The spacious and grand looking entrance
lobby atrium is one characteristic uncommon in new downtown condos and this may be an
important feature for expats who feel the need to impress visitors.
9. The glass blocks in the bathroom of the master bedroom and some gaps bring
in natural tropical daylight and this feature attracts many expats.
10. The floor to ceiling glass ceiling brings
in daylight and is a favoured feature amongst Caucasians.
Disadvantages:
1. A smaller long bath tub in the master bedroom may not suit tall Caucasians.

but some families are worried that their hyperactive child may crash into the glass
windows and fall down the building.
