About Cairnhill Nine
Cairnhill Nine is a 30-storey condominium at 9 Cairnhill Road in District 9 (Orchard, Cairnhill, River Valley). It was developed by CapitaLand and designed by RSP Architects Planners and Engineers. The tower has 268 apartments, from one-bedroom units to penthouses, and received its Temporary Occupation Permit on 10 October 2016. The land is held on a 99-year lease that began on 12 May 2014.
The condominium forms one half of an integrated development. The other half is Ascott Orchard Singapore, a 220-unit serviced residence at 11 Cairnhill Road. The complex sits directly behind Paragon and is joined to the mall by a covered link bridge.
Interesting facts
The site was previously Somerset Grand Cairnhill, a 146-unit serviced residence. In 2012 Ascott Residence Trust agreed to sell it to CapitaLand for $359 million for redevelopment, and to buy back the new serviced residence component once built.
CapitaLand described the scheme as its first integrated serviced residence and condominium project.
At 122 metres, CapitaLand billed the tower as one of the tallest buildings in the Orchard Road district.
Unlike most of its neighbours on the hill, which are freehold, Cairnhill Nine is a 99-year leasehold property.

Orchard MRT (North South and Thomson-East Coast Lines) and Somerset MRT (North South Line) are each about 5 to 8 minutes away on foot.

The conserved terrace houses of Cairnhill Road and Emerald Hill are a short walk uphill. Newton Food Centre is the nearest hawker centre.
