Buyers and tenants are attracted to District 9, which includes Orchard Road, River Valley and Cairnhill. This district is part of Singapore’s Central Business District and has become a must-visit spot for Singapore tourists. Spanning almost 2.2km, Orchard Road represents one of Singapore’s best retail, dining and entertainment boulevards, catering to any taste or budget and ranging from luxury brands to high street fashion. District 9 has a huge selection of exclusive cosmopolitan bistros and on the other end of the scale, a number of popular international fast food restaurants. Fronting Orchard Road, ION Orchard Mall is home to designer brands, as well as Sephora’s largest store in the area. Another major shopping mall in this district is Great World, which caters to locals, with a Cold Storage supermarket, Best Denki electrical store, and Golden Village Cinema. Cairnhill is home to the first freehold Ritz-Carlton property in Asia - the Ritz-Carlton Residence. This property sets a new standard of luxury living in Singapore as these homes feature magnificent finishings, excellent facilities and exemplary services from the legendary The Ritz-Carlton.

As a major financial and business hub, the Central Region stands as the dynamic city centre of Singapore. Spanning 13,150ha in land area, the region hosts Singapore's only UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to many of the country's national monuments, such as the Merlion Park and Statue of Raffles. Although the region is designated mainly for commercial activities, it houses residential developments ranging from HDBs to bungalows. There is also plenty of greenery in the region, linked by 19km of park connectors. According to the Master Plan 2019, Orchard and Downtown will be rejuvenated as a lifestyle hub to include more mixed developments which offer live, work and play opportunities. New housing will be constructed in the Marina South Area with community facilities and amenities. Stage-6 of the Circle Line opening by 2025 will also enhance the Central Region's connectivity.
