Joining a series of new launches in the Jervois area, including Petit Jervois and Jervois Treasures, launched back in 2018 and 2019 respectively, is Jervois Mansion. It bears almost the same name as its predecessor on the same site, Jervois Mansions, a 32-unit condominium developed by Kimen Realty. Naming it Jervois Mansion then was Kimen’s bid to retain the legacy of the past, while signalling that the new site will undergo a collective change.
The original Jervois Mansions will make way for a new 130-unit Jervois Mansion.
Roxy-Pacific Holdings is roped in as development manager. With a wide range of residential projects like Fyve Derbyshire and View at Kismis under its belt, Roxy-Pacific has no lack of experience and it does suggest Kimen’s intention to make the new Jervois Mansion more vibrant than its more laid-back forerunner.
What’s surrounding Jervois Mansion?
Jervois Mansion resides in a context characterised by embassy buildings and a Good Class Bungalow (GCB) area to the north (essentially, atas) and a band of taller residential developments to the south. Sitting at the bend of a small side street off the main road, Jervois Close, the immediate site is quiet and serene, although you may experience some noise from the adjacent church especially on the weekends (service times are on Sunday mornings).
The condominium site is situated amongst lush greenery, embassies and other GCBs.
Along the serene Jervois Close.
Valley Point, a small shopping mall to the east of the site and just a street down is the nearest spot for residents at Jervois Mansion to get their basic amenities. There are a couple of supermarkets, a few eateries and other retail outlets there. Venture further, and you’ll get to the bigger shopping centres like Great World and Tiong Bahru Mall, both of which are still within a 15-min walking distance.
There are lots of cheap food options nearby. The nearest hawker centre, Zion Riverside Food Centre (which recently underwent a revamp), is 10 mins by foot, while Beo Crescent Market is an estimated 11-min walk away.
If you are looking for restaurants, most are situated within the nearby malls, but it’s also just a 6-min and 7-min drive respectively to Dempsey Hill and Ion Orchard, where you will be spoilt for choice in terms of food options.
Jervois Mansion is a short drive to Ion Orchard, the start of the shopping belt in Singapore.

Public transportation options could be better. The nearest bus stops are opposite Valley Point mall or along Delta Road, while the nearest train stations are the existing Tiong Bahru MRT station along the East-West Line and the upcoming Great World station along the Thomson-East Coast Line (target for completion in 2022). The former is a 15-min walk away while the latter takes 17 mins by foot—not the most ideal in Singapore’s warm weather.
If you do manage to walk to the MRT stations, both stations are just a few stops away from Singapore’s Central Business Districts, the Orchard Road shopping belt and the Marina Financial District. Tiong Bahru station is two stops away from Tanjong Pagar station, while Great World station is one stop to Orchard station (where the shopping belt starts) and four stops to Shenton Way station.
It is assumed that if you can afford to stay in Jervois Mansion, it is unlikely you will need to rely on the MRT stations. Nevertheless, the upcoming Great World and the existing Tiong Bahru MRT stations are still within walking distance.
For joggers or cyclists, you will love being next to the Alexandra Park Connector (PCN). This PCN will lead you along the Singapore River (with great views!) to take you to areas like Robertson Quay, Clarke Quay, Merlion Park and Marina Bay, popular pit stops for cyclists.
Jervois Mansion is located close to the park connector that leads you along the Singapore River.
What’s inside Jervois Mansion?
Architecture + Landscape: What they lack in nearby public transport, they make up for it in the amenities inside. But first, the remarkable façade. The design architect for Jervois Mansion is by international practice Serie Architects, who are known for a number of local big-name projects like One Pearl Bank and Oasis Terraces in Punggol.
Artist impression of One Pearl Bank.
Serie Architects took their inspiration from the conserved black-and-white colonial houses in the nearby GCB zone, not only in terms of appearance, but also in managing Singapore’s warm and humid climate.
There are six blocks housing a total of 130 units, each like a freestanding villa covered with ‘living façade’—through the use of roof gardens, balconies and planters—to help create a sort of natural blanket made up of shrubs and plants in a bid to create cooler interiors. Painted white, the planters offer a stark visual contrast against the black frames, not unlike those 19th century bungalows.
The facade for Jervois Mansion will integrate cascading plants to beat the tropical heat.
To alleviate the heat further, the facades come with low-emissivity glass panels. These reduce the heat coming in, while still letting natural light permeate the interiors. Other heat-reducing efforts include using grille door gates and aluminium sliding screens in the balconies with a radial pattern to encourage cross ventilation.
Fences are incorporated throughout the development, but are hidden within the lush landscape designed by renowned local landscape architect, Salad Dressing. It will be designed such that Jervois Mansion appears like a fence-less housing cluster to merge with the adjacent neighbourhood.
Jervois Mansion will appear fenceless, surrounded by verdant greenery.
Facilities + Activities: The villas, called quarters, are interconnected with several courtyards, open landscaped spaces that offer plenty of breathing room and green respite from each villa. Along with the courtyards, linked pavilions will also house facilities and amenities for the residents here.
Each building is segmented into different quarters for different functions.
The green courtyards are filled with canopy trees, lawns, shrubs and floral habitats that are designed to allow each plant species to grow and flourish naturally.

What’s even more interesting though is how the living environment will be populated by plant species that are edible, usable or medicinal. This will then be used as sites for the foraging walks regularly conducted by the condo management to foster community spirit and a deeper appreciation for sustainability and the surroundings.
This, along with the other activities conducted within Jervois Mansion is what makes this condominium stand out from the others. So if you’re all for some kampung spirit, this is it. Other activities regularly held include fish feeding, bird watching, camping and stargazing. There are also plans to conduct regular workshops on farm-to-table cooking, flower arrangement, terrarium building and yoga.
As a resident, you’ll also get to enjoy the gym, different pool types, a walking trail, and gardens on first storey of the development. There’s even a hammock lawn, lawn swings and a lily pond at this level.
Lawns, ponds and gardens surround the landscape of Jervois Mansion so you’ll always feel one with nature.
Move up to the roof terraces at the various quarters to enjoy other facilities like an urban garden and garden shed at the Harvest Quarter, work pods and fitness stations at the Social Quarter, wilderness spa and a rain shower facility at the Wellness Quarter, a sun tanning lawn at the Sunrise Quarter and an alfresco lounge and a tandem swing at the Family Quarter. For junior, they’ll be right at home at the Junior Quarter, with its creative wall, adventure kids’ play area and a sandcastle station.
Enjoy a spot of urban gardening at the roof terrace.
With just 130 units, the amount of facilities does seem excessive. It’s a good and bad thing—you get to have adequate facilities for all, but it is likely to incur a higher maintenance cost.
Smart Home Features: Moving inside, each unit comes with a smart home system that will integrate the systems of your air-conditioning, digital lock and doorbell into a single hub for easier control. With this smart system, you’ll get to pre-register your guests for added security and view who’s at the door. The system also sends you alerts for parcel collection and allows you to book facilities.

Let’s take a quick look at nearby freehold condo RV Residences (TOP: 2014), which is located near to Great World mall, and see its price trends. You’ll notice that there hasn’t been a huge price appreciation, with prices remaining relatively consistent over the years.

There are a lot of freehold properties in this River Valley/Jervois Road area, so you are likely to face some stiff competition when it comes to selling or renting your unit out. On the plus side, most of the condominiums along Jervois Road are relatively of age, which can put future buyers off because of higher renovation or repair costs. While the older condos have larger spaces, the higher square footage also means a higher price point, placing a group of buyers out of reach.
When it comes to rent, you are likely looking at an average rental yield of about 2.6%*, based on the past 6-month transactions of condominiums in the area.
