It is not just a mega private condominium project, but it is also one of the last government land parcels available for sale in District 3.
However, if you’ve been on the lookout for new private homes in the area, you are probably overwhelmed by all the choices around which stretches all the way from Queenstown to the Redhill precinct.
So let’s dive in and see how does this Stirling Road new condo stands out from the rest. Is Stirling Residences really a good buy?

As for Nanshan Group, the joint-partner for the development of Stirling Residences, it has been very active in the nation’s real estate scene and has taken part in 8 out of 11 land tenders.
Its biggest accolade so far would be the development of Thomson Impressions condo in 2016. In addition, the group was also involved in other commercial projects in Singapore such as Tai Seng Centre, Mercure Bugis, and Park Regis.
Stirling Residences Location
Stirling Residences is located along Stirling Road within the Queenstown estate – in District 3 of Singapore. The estate was one of the first “new towns” being built in the country’s history and possesses a rich heritage in Singapore’s real estate scene.
As convenience is usually the top criteria for most home buyers out there, the condominium is situated within close proximity to Queenstown MRT station.
This will provide convenience to residents at Stirling Residences for them to travel to different parts of the island and yet having to endure painful noises generated from the train tracks.
For drivers, Stirling Residences is well-connected to key locations such as the Marina Bay Financial District, the Central Business District (CBD) and the Orchard Road shopping belt via major roads and expressways, such as the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE), Alexandra Road and Tanglin Road; all destinations are within a mere 10 to 15-minute drive away.
In addition, this new launch condo at Queenstown is also close to various top educational institutions. such as Gan Eng Seng Primary School, Crescent Girls’ School, and the Global Indian International School; major retail malls which include the likes of IKEA Alexandra, Anchorpoint Shopping Centre, and Queensway Shopping Centre.

Unlike any of the neighboring condos in Queenstown, Stirling Residences will feature an abundance of condo facilities – 80 different selections in total.
It consists of a 50-meter infinity lap pool. a state-of-the-art gymnasium, putting green for golf enthusiasts, tennis court, outdoor dining and massage pavilions.

Also, head to the cozy 30-meter pool and the Aqua Gym if you require some quiet time away from the bustling activities within the compound.

Stirling Residences Review
When the 2.11-ha Stirling Road site was sold to Logan Property and Nanshan Group for over $1 billion back in May 2017 via the government land sales (GLS) programme – which was then a record-breaking bid, the property market has been eagerly anticipating what these 2 reputable developers can come up with.
So here we have it – Stirling Residences. It is by far the biggest private residential development in the entire Queenstown estate and definitely iconic enough to be considered as one of the landmark properties in the area.
It’s like how some other developments became clear representations of the precincts which they are in over time, such as Reflections at Keppel Bay, The Sail at Marina Bay, J Gateway at Jurong, City Square Residences at Farrer Park or even Rivergate at Robertson Quay.
And most of the time, these developments do command a slight premium over some of their closest neighbors.
At the point of our honest Stirling Residences review, the project has managed to offload a total of 869 out of 1,259 units since launch (till 8 November 2019), at an average per square foot (psf) price of $1,790.
Honestly, it’s really not too shabby considering the fact that all these transactions took place right after the latest property cooling measures were announced (which took effect on 06 July 2018).
For reference sake, here are the 10 latest transactions to-date (from EdgeProp):
| DATE | ADDRESS | AREA (SQ FT) | PSF PRICE (S$) | PRICE (S$) |
| 27-Oct-19 | 23 STIRLING ROAD #10-xx | 1,346 | 1,776 | 2,389,000 |
| 26-Oct-19 | 23 STIRLING ROAD #30-xx | 657 | 1,881 | 1,235,000 |
| 22-Oct-19 | 21 STIRLING ROAD #31-xx | 624 | 1,914 | 1,195,000 |
| 18-Oct-19 | 25 STIRLING ROAD #29-xx | 506 | 1,998 | 1,011,000 |
| 15-Oct-19 | 25 STIRLING ROAD #29-xx | 635 | 1,874 | 1,190,000 |
| 14-Oct-19 | 21 STIRLING ROAD #22-xx | 657 | 1,831 | 1,202,000 |
| 14-Oct-19 | 25 STIRLING ROAD #28-xx | 506 | 1,985 | 1,004,000 |
| 13-Oct-19 | 21 STIRLING ROAD #37-xx | 1,055 | 1,871 | 1,974,000 |
| 13-Oct-19 | 21 STIRLING ROAD #10-xx | 635 | 1,979 | 1,257,000 |
| 13-Oct-19 | 23 STIRLING ROAD #15-xx | 441 | 2,062 | 910,000 |
So the question is – if you are considering your choices within the Queenstown estate, what are your choices for projects which are still under construction and how do they line up against Stirling Residences in terms of price (based on transactions during the last 6 months)?
| PROJECT NAME | COMPLETION | TENURE | AVERAGE PSF PRICE (S$) |
| Queens Peak | 2020 | 99-year | 1,829 |
| Margaret Ville | 2021 | 99-year | 1,886 |
| Stirling Residences | 2022 | 99-year | 1,763 |
As you can see, Stirling Residences ain’t as pricey or being priced even higher than its neighbors like what most people would think. In fact, the developers have priced this new Queenstown condo at a very attractive rate.
Stirling Residences versus Queens Peak
Of course, some may argue that Queens Peak is more value-for-money as it is closer to the Queenstown MRT station. But then again, it really depends on one’s needs and requirements in a private property. Do note that some of those iconic landmark properties I have mentioned earlier are not even near a train station, thus it doesn’t really determine the future value of a property.
Because what Stirling Residences can offer to prospects is the scale and the lavishness of living in a private condominium. Some homeowners just treasure lifestyle more than convenience. Anyway, the condominium is just around 240 meters away from Queenstown MRT station – which will take you less than 5 minutes to walk there.
Stirling Residences versus Margaret Ville
When comparing Stirling Residences and Margaret Ville, it would be deciding on the lifestyle you’re looking for instead of convenience. At Margaret Ville, it’s the lower density living and exclusivity that really stands out from the rest of the condominium projects.
Personally, one of the top criteria for owning a private property is that it has to PRIVATE.
And that’s something I don’t really see at the 1,259-unit Stirling Residences compared to the 309-unit Margaret Ville. But if you are a social butterfly and someone who loves the abundance of facilities (kids will certainly appreciate these), then Stirling Residences is really a no-brainer choice.
Final word
Without a doubt, Stirling Residences does cover most of the aspects of what a true condominium in Singapore should be. T
he location of the condo is just excellent, the offerings within are simply marvelous and there’s really nothing to complain about the price. It really boils down to your personal needs and preference.
Being backed by the wealth of experience by 2 renowned property developers and well-located in the city fringe region of Singapore, Stirling Residences will certainly be a masterpiece in the making and homebuyers should be giving it some serious thoughts.
