A boutique 41-unit address on the Mount Sophia slope, with St Margaret's Primary literally next door and Dhoby Ghaut's triple-line interchange about 400 metres away. Preview opens 25 July, booking day 1 August 2026 — indicative prices from $1.2xxM. An honest read, not a sales pitch.

A 41-unit address on a heritage slope, minutes from Orchard.
Sophia Meadow is a small thing in a tightly held corner of District 9. Sin Thai Hin Holdings paid roughly S$33.59 million for a 13,783 sq ft plot at 132 Sophia Road, on a gross plot ratio of 2.1, and what goes up is a boutique low-rise of around 41 homes.
The pitch writes itself on location alone. St Margaret's School (Primary) is about 63 metres away — close enough to be the next building over, and inside the Primary 1 priority band. Dhoby Ghaut, where the North-South, North-East and Circle lines meet, is roughly 400 metres on foot. The Orchard Road shopping belt starts a few hundred metres further on.
The timeline is now set: the developer has scheduled a preview for 25 July 2026 and a booking (launch) day of 1 August 2026, with indicative prices from $1.2xxM for a one-bedroom, $1.7xxM for a two-bedroom and $2.4xxM for a three-bedroom. Those are indicative starting figures, not a firm price list, and no unit sizes have been published yet — so a reliable PSF can't be worked out, and anything claiming a sell-through percentage before booking day is marketing, not data. The full unit mix and floor plans are still to come, and the official unit count remains open: databases list 41, the developer markets 43.
One more thing worth getting right up front: the tenure. The land was freehold, owned by the Presbyterian Church, which is why some listings say "freehold." But the developer bought it on a fresh 103-year lease from March 2024, so the homes are 103-year leasehold — not freehold, and not the 99-year some sites show.
Indicative pricing is out — here's the read.
The developer's June 2026 preview release sets indicative starting prices by bedroom type. A one-bedroom from $1.2xxM is a relatively accessible entry quantum for a District 9 Core Central Region address — the developer's "attractive entry price into CCR living" angle, and a fair one on absolute dollars.
One caveat: these are indicative starting figures, and the developer hasn't published unit sizes, so a reliable PSF can't be derived yet. Any confident "S$3,240 psf" figure floating around is still speculative. To read the eventual price list, we'd weigh the ~S$33.59m land cost (a break-even floor), nearby Sophia-area launch comps, D9 / CCR resale velocity, and a boutique-exclusivity premium against the leasehold discount.
| Project | District | Units | Tenure | PSF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sophia Meadowsubject | D9 | 41 | 103-yr | Indicative from $1.2xxM (PSF TBC) |
| Orchard Sophia | D9 | 78 | Freehold | Launch ~S$2,750 psf (Aug 2023) |
| The Collective at One Sophia | D9 | 367 | 99-yr | ~S$2,750 psf · ~10% at Nov 2024 preview |
| Sophia Hills | D9 | 493 | 99-yr (TOP 2018) | Resale ~S$2,100 psf |
| Parc Sophia | D9 | 152 | Freehold (TOP 2011) | Resale ~S$1,700–1,830 psf |
Comparable figures are launch or resale PSF for nearby Sophia-area projects at last update. The Sophia Meadow row shows the developer's indicative starting quantum, not a PSF — unit sizes aren't published yet, so we won't publish a fabricated per-square-foot figure to make the columns line up.
One-, two- and three-bedrooms — full mix still to come.
The developer's preview release confirms Sophia Meadow will offer one-, two- and three-bedroom types, priced indicatively from $1.2xxM, $1.7xxM and $2.4xxM respectively. What's still missing is the detailed breakdown — how many of each, and the floor areas — so we won't guess at counts or sizes we can't yet verify.
The official count is itself still open: property databases list 41 units, while the developer markets 43. That, the mix and the floor plates will be confirmed when the price list and brochure are released at preview.

132 Sophia Road, on the Mount Sophia slope.
The site sits at 132 Sophia Road in District 9, on the heritage Mount Sophia slope between River Valley and the Bras Basah arts precinct. St Margaret's School (Primary) is about 63 metres away — adjacent, and inside the Primary 1 priority band.
Dhoby Ghaut MRT, where the North-South (NS24), North-East (NE6) and Circle (CC1) lines converge, is roughly 400 metres on foot, with the distance verified on OneMap. From there the Orchard Road shopping belt and the rest of the city are a few stops in any direction.
What's within reach.
Mount Sophia is one of the more walkable corners of the city fringe. A P1-priority primary school is next door, a triple-line MRT interchange is a few minutes away, the Orchard and Dhoby Ghaut malls are within strolling distance, and Fort Canning Park is just down the slope. Most of daily life here doesn't need a car.

The Mount Sophia thesis, both sides.
The case for
- St Margaret's School (Primary) is about 63 metres away — effectively next door, with Primary 1 priority admission.
- A triple-line MRT interchange at Dhoby Ghaut sits roughly 400 metres on foot.
- A heritage Mount Sophia address, minutes from the Orchard Road shopping belt.
- Boutique 41-unit exclusivity in a tightly held part of D9.
- A relatively accessible CCR entry quantum — one-bedrooms from $1.2xxM on the developer's indicative guide.
The case against
- The homes are 103-year leasehold, not freehold — despite freehold-land marketing.
- Just 41 units means minimal on-site facilities.
- Only indicative quantums so far — with no published unit sizes, PSF and true value can't be assessed yet.
- The completion year is unresolved — EdgeProp estimates 2027, the developer markets 2029.
Where we'd steer you away
If you need true freehold tenure, full-size condo facilities, or certainty on completion timing, Sophia Meadow isn't the fit today. Wait for the price list, or look elsewhere.

What buyers keep asking.
- Is Sophia Meadow freehold or leasehold? +
- Sophia Meadow is a 103-year leasehold development, not freehold — despite marketing that references freehold land. The land at 132 Sophia Road was freehold, owned by the Presbyterian Church; the developer bought it on a fresh 103-year lease from March 2024, so the homes you buy are 103-year leasehold. Some seed listings show "freehold" or "99-year"; the corroborated tenure is 103-year leasehold.
- How many units does Sophia Meadow have? +
- Sophia Meadow has 41 units according to property databases (EdgeProp, 99.co), though the developer markets 43. As of June 2026 the listed inventory is 41; the discrepancy will be resolved by the official count at launch. Either way it is a boutique low-rise; the unit mix has not yet been published.
- When is Sophia Meadow's TOP? +
- Sophia Meadow's completion date is unresolved as of June 2026. EdgeProp estimates a 2027 TOP, while the developer markets completion on 30 November 2029. The two sources conflict and neither has been confirmed, so we present both rather than pick one. The official date will firm up closer to launch.
- Is the "93% sold" figure for Sophia Meadow real? +
- No — any "93% sold" or "S$3,240 psf" figure for Sophia Meadow circulating online is speculative marketing. The preview opens 25 July 2026 and booking (launch) day is 1 August 2026, so as of June 2026 no units have been sold, EdgeProp records it at 0% sold, and no URA caveats exist. There is no genuine sell-through to report until booking day.
- Who is the developer of Sophia Meadow? +
- Sophia Meadow is developed by Sin Thai Hin Holdings, with the project held under the entity Sin Thai Hin Development Pte Ltd, per en-bloc filings from 2024. The developer acquired the 13,783 sq ft site at 132 Sophia Road for approximately S$33.59 million, on a gross plot ratio of 2.1.
- What is Sophia Meadow's address and district? +
- Sophia Meadow is at 132 Sophia Road, Singapore 228186, in District 9 — the River Valley and Mount Sophia precinct in Singapore's Core Central Region. It sits on the Mount Sophia heritage slope, minutes from the Orchard Road shopping belt and the Bras Basah arts district.
- How far is Sophia Meadow from an MRT? +
- Sophia Meadow is approximately 400 m from Dhoby Ghaut MRT, a triple-line interchange serving the North-South (NS24), North-East (NE6) and Circle (CC1) lines, with the distance verified on OneMap. Bencoolen (DT21) is ~697 m, Rochor (DT13) ~724 m and Bras Basah (CC2) ~870 m as of June 2026.
- Which schools are within 1 km of Sophia Meadow? +
- Sophia Meadow sits roughly 63 m from St Margaret's School (Primary) — effectively next door and inside the Primary 1 priority band — with ACS (Junior) about 876 m away, also within 1 km. Distances are verified on OneMap. School of the Arts (~500 m), NAFA (~400 m) and SMU (~700 m) are also close by.
- What's the indicative price for Sophia Meadow? +
- The developer's indicative guide (June 2026) puts one-bedrooms from $1.2xxM, two-bedrooms from $1.7xxM and three-bedrooms from $2.4xxM — a relatively accessible entry quantum for a District 9 Core Central Region launch. These are indicative starting prices, not a firm price list; the developer typically finalises pricing at the 25 July preview. Note that unit sizes haven't been published, so a reliable PSF can't be derived yet — any confident PSF figure circulating online is still a guess. For context, nearby Orchard Sophia launched around S$2,750 psf in August 2023 and The Collective at One Sophia previewed near S$2,750 psf.
- What is the unit mix at Sophia Meadow? +
- The developer's June 2026 preview release confirms Sophia Meadow will offer one-, two- and three-bedroom types, but the full breakdown — how many of each, and the floor areas — has not yet been published. It remains a boutique low-rise of around 41 units, with the detailed mix and floor plans due at the 25 July preview. Join the e-brochure list to be notified first.
- Is Sophia Meadow a good buy? +
- Sophia Meadow's appeal is a P1-priority primary school next door, a triple-line MRT ~400 m away, a heritage Mount Sophia address minutes from Orchard, and a relatively accessible CCR entry quantum (one-bedrooms from $1.2xxM on the developer's indicative guide). The trade-offs as of June 2026: 103-year leasehold rather than freehold, just 41 units so minimal facilities, only indicative prices so far (no unit sizes published, so PSF can't be checked), and an unresolved completion year (2027 vs 2029). The preview is 25 July with booking day 1 August 2026 — weigh both sides before committing.
This page will be updated continuously as Sophia Meadow approaches its 25 July preview and 1 August booking day.
