While copper is rarely associated with luxury, District 9’s latest luxurious development is hoping to challenge that notion. 

Kopar At Newton is the latest 99-years leasehold luxury condo development in District 9 set to TOP in 2023. After successfully selling 77 units at launch, Kopar At Newton is a clear indication that demand for luxury condominiums in the coveted District 9 is still high. 

Once ready, its striking, copper-tinged exterior will be hard to miss, especially since it is located just minutes away from Newton MRT and opposite Newton Food Centre!

Sprawling across a land size of 125,340 sqft, Kopar At Newton offers a total of 378 units, with units ranging from 1 to 5-bedders and penthouses. There are no villas or strata homes here - Kopar At Newton is all about scaling new heights when it comes to luxury living.

With all units split across two 23-storey blocks, it is obvious what the developers CEL Developments had in mind with this project: exclusivity, and unobstructed views. Excitingly Kopar At Newton also offers posh amenities that take up 70% of the development site. This is great news for home buyers who prioritise having a space to unwind or entertain.

Development Analysis

Designed to offer the "experience of staying at a high end hotel", the opulence of this condo starts from its grand entrance. The impressive arrival area also even comes with a concierge service to help you lug your groceries, give your guests directions, or simply keep you company as you wait for your private transport's arrival.

Kopar At Newton offers a lifestyle sanctuary that puts a spotlight on holistic wellness with a touch of opulence. The project’s facilities are split into three main groups - Stella, Aura, Vita. 

Stella amplifies the social experience in Kopar At Newton, comprising a stunning Clubhouse that overlooks the Grand Lawn - a feature that is perfect for families looking to entertain and keep their kids occupied at the same time. 

Embellished by a grand teardrop chandelier and artfully designed interior, this is definitely a step up from basic function rooms in other developments!

The facilities grouped under Aura are dedicated to personal wellness. Boasting amenities like a hot & cold spa, Microbubble spa, Nail Salon and Hydrotherapy pool, we think this is the perfect way to unwind after a long hard week. 

We especially like how these facilities are located away from the guesthouse, so you can truly bask in the experience without any noise interruptions. 

Lastly, Vita is dedicated to complement your active lifestyle, with a tennis court, forest walk and multiple Pavilions that allow you to spend quality time with your family and while breaking a sweat!

Another grand feature worth pointing out is the grand 50m lap pool, which is again sealed off by lush greenery for privacy. Gym junkies will appreciate that the gym is located on the second floor overlooking the pool!

As Kopar At Newton is located between Kampong Java Road, Bukit Timah Road and Makeway Avenue, road noise might be a cause of concern, which is why the developers have ensured that residential units are placed at least 30 metres away from the road to minimise any noise. 

As with any developments sandwiched in between multiple buildings in the city, the view from your unit is key. While the views are generally unblocked across all directions, some offer better city views than others.

Kopar At Newton Unit & Floorplan Review

Out of the 378 units offered in Kopar At Newton, only 21 units of 5-bedders are offered, and the same exclusivity goes towards the 8 penthouses. It is not surprising to see that 1 and 2-bedders make up the majority of the project’s offering, as Kopar At Newton’s prime location can potentially command higher rental yield in the long run for investors. 

The units in Kopar At Newton are of "standard" size for a new launch, however it is worth noting that 4-bedders and above come with private lifts and Junior Suites (a plus if you are living with your older folks or extended family).

Kopar At Newton - 2 Bedroom Unit Review

The 2-bedders at Kopar At Newton come with two configurations: classic and deluxe. The difference? Deluxe units come with an extra common bathroom while the classic requires you to share the master bathroom. Let’s take a closer look at the deluxe unit!

A trend that we’ve observed with newer developments is the placement of an open kitchen right at the entrance of your home. If entertaining is a hobby of yours, the lack of ample counter space or an island kitchen might be a dealbreaker. 

That said, the walking space is quite comfortable and the addition of built-in appliances (above) definitely does make space-saving an easier task.

The unit’s longish layout thankfully makes fitting a dining table and sofa set an easy feat. As we can see from the showroom, there’s still ample walking room even after installing a television console and side cabinet. 

Could you stretch it and place a 6-seater table? It’s possible, but if space is your priority we suggest sticking with a 4-seater. 

On to the common rooms! One thing we'd have to highlight is the fact that the first common rooms doesn't come with a built-in wardrobe. This allows the developers to turn it into a full study here and we must admit, it definitely looks cosy! 

The master bedroom does give you a decent walking space, even after fitting in a queen bed. Thankfully, there are floor-to-ceiling windows in the master bedroom so you can wake up and bask in the gorgeous view!

The master bathroom does exude the luxurious vibe of a posh hotel, we especially like the dark tones of the cabinets and functional fittings like mirrored cabinets and a rain shower.

Choosing The Best Stacks 

Looking for a 2-bedroom unit at Kopar At Newton? We’d recommend stacks 12 (Classic) & 13 (Deluxe) as they offer a view of the pool and the upcoming Avenir project. Stacks 3 & 8 (both Deluxe units) are decent too, however you might be susceptible to road noise from Bukit Timah Road or traffic from the Guest House.

Kopar At Newton - 3 Bedroom Deluxe Review

Similar to the 2-bedders, there are two configurations for the 3 bedroom units: classic and deluxe. While they roughly share the same layout, the deluxe unit offers additional space allocations for a household shelter (great if you are living with a helper who may need an extra room) and an additional bathroom and utility space. 

Perhaps it is the way the 6-seater dining table is positioned, but the dining area does feel a little tight, especially since it is flushed directly to the wall. Perhaps a horizontal layout might work better, but we reckon it might still feel a little constricted. 

While the longish layout of the kitchen provides ample counter top space, it might be a little too tight for more than 3 people at a time. On the upside, we like that the stove is placed closer to the window for more ventilation after heavy cooking. 

The bathroom at the end of the utility space is rather small - we think that it might be more practical to remove the toilet and sink to make space for a stacked washer and dryer. 

Moving along to the common bedrooms, they are of standard size (which should be enough for most uses), however we like that both rooms come with floor-to-ceiling windows.

The common bathroom is pleasantly spacious, with enough distance away from the shower area and sink (a plus to prevent the entire floor from getting wet). 

For a 3-bedder, the master bedroom is definitely of a good size! The layout is functional as well - a full-length window adds in more natural daylight, while the ‘walk-in’ wardrobe also makes getting ready in the morning way easier with proximity to the bathroom.

As for the room itself, there's still plenty of space to move around after placing a queen size bed.

The master bathroom is a replica of the common bathroom, and there are unfortunately no ‘his & hers’ sinks here. Despite that, it is still a well-designed bathroom, and the addition of a rain shower is always a plus. 

Choosing The Best Stacks

There are only 4 stacks with 3-bedders: 2 & 11 for Deluxe and 6 & 16 for Classic. We recommend going for stacks 2, 6 & 11 as they not only offer decent views, but have less exposure to afternoon sun as well.

Kopar At Newton - 5 Bedroom Luxury

As one of the biggest units at Kopar At Newton, the 5 Bedroom Luxury unit truly embodies its status as a luxury condo. 

With over 1,819 sqft of space, the 5 Bedroom Luxury comes with a private lift (and lobby), a separate wet and dry kitchen as well as three ensuite bathrooms that will cater perfectly to larger families. 

Your private lift lobby leads you directly into a massive living space. Now imagine coming home to this everyday! 

Both functional and beaming with understated elegance, the dry kitchen acts almost a centerpiece for your living room. Throw in a few high chairs and you’ve got a spot for casual dinners or sumptuous brunch! 

Moving along to the wet kitchen, it does somehow pale in comparison when it comes to design, we would’ve liked to see more colour or texture here. However, it’s a good size to allow for heavy cooking and includes a second built-in oven that’ll come in handy for weekend roasts.

The utility room is thankfully big enough to get most household works done. We’d recommend turning the additional bathroom into a washing/dryer space to truly maximise the usable space in this area. 

Now onto the bedrooms! This 5 Bedroom Luxury unit comes with 3 common rooms in total and since they do not differ in layout and style, you may consider converting them into separate study rooms if required. 

The junior suite on the other hand is a rather peculiar one as there seems to be little to no differentiation in comparison to the common rooms (save for the longer entrance). Do note that the views would also differ since each room faces a different direction. 

If luxury is what you want, luxury is what you’ll get with this master bedroom! We like that the ID has created a seamless contrast of warm wooden touches and white ascents, making the master feel bigger than it really is. Even after fitting in a king bed, side table and a dresser, there is still plenty of space to move around.

While the master bathroom is luxurious in its own right, we can’t help but notice that the choice of tiles here has made the space busier than it should be - but we reckon this is something that you’ll probably get used to as you soak in your tub, wine in hand.  

Choosing The Best Stacks 

The 5 Bedroom Luxury units face directly into the infinity-edge pool, and while you do get plenty of sunlight all year round, you’d receive the least road noise and close proximity to the stellar Clubhouse.
