Interesting facts
OneMap records the official building name as The Vermont on Cairnhill, with three postal codes: 229745, 229746 and 229747, one for each block.
Cairnhill Rise has been substantially rebuilt since 2010. The Vermont (2013), Alba (2015) and Cairnhill 16, which replaced the older Cairnhill Heights after a 2018 collective sale, all date from this period.
The street name goes back to Charles Carnie, who built a house on what became Carnie Hill around 1840. He retired to Scotland in 1859, and his house was pulled down in 1884 after a bank bought the property.
Anglo-Chinese School has long ties to this hill. NLB Infopedia notes that the school was based at Cairnhill from 1928 to 1949, and its junior school occupied premises here from 1985 to 2008.
