About Riva Lodge

Riva Lodge is a small freehold apartment block at 36 Leonie Hill, Singapore 239230, in District 9 (Orchard, Cairnhill, River Valley). It dates from the mid-1990s: one property database gives 1994 as the completion year and another estimates 1995. The building has 25 units over a maximum of 13 storeys, on a compact site of about 1,678 sq m. Property directories list Robin Development (Pte) Ltd as the developer.

It is one of the smallest strata developments on Leonie Hill and has only basic shared facilities, such as a barbecue area, playground and car park, with no swimming pool reported. Little else has been published about the building, so the notes below draw partly on the street and its surroundings.

Interesting facts

  • With 25 units, Riva Lodge is a fraction of the size of its neighbours. Twin Peaks nearby has 462 units and Leonie Gardens up the hill has 138.

  • The gross floor area is recorded as about 4,699 sq m, which works out to a plot ratio of roughly 2.8 on the 1,678 sq m site.

  • About the street: Leonie Hill is one of the hills of the wider Tanglin and Orchard area, whose slopes carried gambier, nutmeg and pepper plantations in the 19th century before becoming a residential enclave.
