The site was assembled from private land. Low Keng Huat bought the former Cairnhill Mansions en bloc for S$362 million in February 2018, then paid about S$100 million in June 2018 for a neighbouring bungalow and adjacent plots (EdgeProp, 26 August 2021). Low Keng Huat describes the bungalow as a restored 1902 Anglo-Malay house, now the project's clubhouse.

How much has Klimt Cairnhill sold for?
| Period | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Land, 2018 | S$362 million for Cairnhill Mansions (February), plus about S$100 million for adjoining plots (June) | EdgeProp, 26 August 2021 |
| Launch, August 2021 | Typical units from S$3,532 psf; 2-bedroom units from S$2.93 million | EdgeProp, 26 August 2021 |
| Developer sales to September 2024 | 124 of 138 units sold, 14 three-bedroom units left; three-bedroom sales from S$4.85 million to S$6 million (S$3,388 to S$4,010 psf); both penthouses sold, for S$26 million and S$27.5 million | EdgeProp, 5 September 2024 |
| Last 12 months to September 2026 | 3 resales, average S$3,457 psf, range S$2,836 to S$3,803 psf (S$3.4 million to S$7.68 million) | Stacked Homes; EdgeProp gives the same average and range |
| March 2026 | S$3.4 million (S$3,803 psf) for an 893 sq ft 2-bedroom | Stacked Homes |
| 2 June 2026 | S$4.06 million (S$2,836 psf) for a 1,432 sq ft 3-bedroom bought in April 2023 for S$4.85 million (S$3,388 psf) | EdgeProp, 9 July 2026 |
| July 2026 | S$7.68 million (S$3,733 psf) for a 2,056 sq ft 4-bedroom | Stacked Homes |
We checked the arithmetic: S$4.06 million ÷ 1,432 sq ft is about S$2,835 psf and S$4.85 million ÷ 1,432 sq ft is about S$3,387 psf (published psf figures use unrounded prices). The June 2026 resale was S$790,000, or about 16.3%, below that unit's 2023 purchase price, before any stamp duties or costs. EdgeProp reported it as only the second resale in the project and the first below S$3,000 psf. With three resales in a year, averages are not a reliable guide to value; compare like-for-like units using URA caveats.
What do Klimt Cairnhill units rent for?
Stacked Homes' figures for leases starting September 2025 to August 2026 show a median of S$10,800 a month, with medians of S$7,000 for 2-bedroom, S$11,100 for 3-bedroom and S$17,000 for 4-bedroom units. We do not quote a rental yield, because estimates differ between sites (Stacked Homes and EdgeProp give different figures) and a yield depends on each buyer's purchase price.
Who might Klimt Cairnhill suit?
This is a summary of trade-offs, not a recommendation. Klimt Cairnhill's distinctive features are freehold tenure, a single tall tower with a gold-toned facade, and a conserved 1902 bungalow as its clubhouse, a walk from both Newton MRT and Orchard Road. The trade-offs: launch prices started above S$3,500 psf, resales are few, and the one resale reported by EdgeProp in 2026 was at a loss against its 2023 purchase price. Foreigners and second-home buyers pay Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty; see our ABSD guide. For nearby projects, see our District 9 and 10 guide and the Kopar at Newton review.

Correction
30 September 2026: An earlier version of this page gave the address as "13 Cairnhill Road", named the developer as "Sustained Land (Singapore)", and said Klimt Cairnhill was completed in 2019 with 25 units of 1,076 to 2,153 sq ft. Klimt Cairnhill is at 71 Cairnhill Road, was developed by Low Keng Huat, was completed in 2025 and has 138 units from 829 sq ft two-bedders to 5,920 sq ft penthouses. The walk to Newton MRT is about 580 m, not 600 m to the north. Unsupported claims about pricing "north of S$4 million" for three-bedders, appreciation prospects, collective sale prospects and nearby schools and amenities were removed, as was an offer of a paid "full report". The cover image was replaced with the developer's own artist's impression.
