Beside the Istana: Hijauan on Cavenagh Wins Best Residential Development
Jun 01, 2019
Hijauan on Cavenagh, JGP's 41-unit low-rise condominium beside the Istana, was named Best Residential Development, Singapore at the Asia Pacific Property Awards International 2019-2020.
Hijauan on Cavenagh was named Best Residential Development, Singapore at the Asia Pacific Property Awards International 2019-2020. The award recognises the 41-unit freehold condominium at Cavenagh Road, developed by SDB Asia Pte Ltd and completed in 2015.
The site sits directly beside the Istana, the official residence of Singapore's President and Prime Minister — a location that favoured a design kept deliberately low and understated. JGP's low-rise blocks lean into a retro material palette, with vertical groove lines and glass railings breaking up the horizontal massing, and layouts built around privacy and space efficiency for the exclusive address.
Hijauan's developer, SDB Asia, is part of the same Selangor Dredging Berhad (SDB) group that saw its Village @ Pasir Panjang project take a FIABCI World Gold award that same year — a strong showing for the group's Singapore portfolio in 2019.
