Factsheet
Why Duet @ Emily
A landmark development that brings together an unbeatable location and trusted developer pedigree.
A conserved heritage building with a modern rear annex
Duet @ Emily is built around a conserved three-storey heritage building with a basement and attic, paired with a new seven-storey rear extension that carries the residential units. It is a genuinely unusual format for District 9, where most stock is either older walk-ups or tall new towers.
Twenty freehold units and nothing more
The entire development is 20 apartments, all freehold. A boutique of this size on a 5,549 sqft site produces a level of privacy that a large condominium cannot match — there is no long corridor of neighbours and no shared amenity competing for space.
Little India and Rochor MRT at the doorstep
Little India station is about 300m away and Rochor around 370m, putting the Downtown Line and North East Line within a few minutes' walk. Selegie Centre is roughly 260m off for buses, and Orchard and the CBD are both a short ride.
St Margaret's Primary roughly 360m away
St Margaret's School (Primary) is about 360m from the address and Farrer Park Primary around 910m. The School of the Arts (SOTA) sits roughly 550m away, and Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) is within about a kilometre.
Out on Mount Emily Road, in among the city fringe
Little India Arcade is 300m away, The Verge and Peace Centre roughly 345m, and FairPrice about 260m. The wider Orchard retail belt, Bugis and Dhoby Ghaut are all within easy reach of a District 9 address.
Compact facilities matched to 20 homes
A landscaped courtyard at basement level, and on the second floor a communal planter box, lounge with swing seating, yoga area, indoor gym, BBQ pit and dining area. For a boutique this size the amenity list is deliberately short rather than padded.

Duet @ Emily
D09 - Orchard / River Valley
Duet @ Emily does something most District 9 launches cannot: it keeps a piece of the street's past and builds over it. The conserved three-storey heritage building on the site, complete with basement and attic, is retained and paired with a new seven-storey rear extension that holds the apartments — 20 freehold units in total on a 5,549 sqft site at 2, 4 and 6 Mount Emily Road.
The location is unusually walkable for the district. Little India MRT is about 300m away and Rochor roughly 370m, so both the North East Line and the Downtown Line are within a few minutes on foot. Selegie Centre is 260m off for buses, Orchard and Bugis are a short ride in either direction, and the CTE is close by for the rest of the island.
Inside, the layout is tight and considered rather than sprawling. Apartments run from one-bedroom executive units at about 409 sqft to two-bedroom lofts reaching 1,335 sqft, with the lofts making use of the height the conservation building allows. Amenities are scaled to the building: a landscaped basement courtyard, and on the second floor a lounge with swing seating, yoga area, indoor gym, BBQ pit and dining area, linked across the site.
Pricing starts at $1,010,000 for a one-bedroom executive unit, with two-bedroom homes from $1,334,000 and lofts up to $2,350,000. The project launched in July 2026 and units are being taken up steadily. This is a small, owner-occupier-led building rather than a rental machine — the appeal is the heritage character, the freehold tenure and the walk to two MRT lines, and buyers should weigh it against newer, larger District 9 projects that offer more facilities but far less character.

Why Duet @ Emily Stands Out
A closer look at the factors that make this development a compelling opportunity.
Location & Connectivity
Duet @ Emily is unusually well served on foot for a District 9 address. Little India MRT is about 300m away and Rochor about 370m, giving access to both the North East Line and the Downtown Line within a few minutes. Selegie Centre, roughly 260m off, is a bus interchange point for the area. Orchard, Bugis and Dhoby Ghaut are each a short ride away, and the CTE is close for the CBD, Marina Bay and the expressways north.
Amenities & Lifestyle
FairPrice is about 260m away, Little India Arcade 300m, and The Verge and Peace Centre roughly 345m, so everyday retail is genuinely walkable. St Margaret's School (Primary) is about 360m from the address and the School of the Arts about 550m, with Farrer Park Primary and Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) within roughly a kilometre. Tekka Centre and the Little India food and market cluster sit just beyond that.
Rental & Investment
Mount Emily Road sits between Little India and Dhoby Ghaut, a location with a long-standing tenant base of expatriates and city workers who want to be able to walk or take one short ride to the CBD. A 20-unit boutique has very little competing stock inside the building itself, which is a positive for a landlord, but it also means comparables are thin — rental performance here will be judged against other small District 9 and Selegie-area apartments rather than a deep set of identical neighbours. Loft and larger two-bedroom layouts should let better than the compact one-bedroom units, since the freehold-plus-heritage profile appeals to tenants who could otherwise rent a larger unit further out.
Area Transformation
The most concrete change to this address is the retention itself: keeping the conserved heritage building and building the new accommodation as a rear extension means the street's established low-rise character is preserved rather than replaced by another tower. More broadly, the Mount Emily and Selegie area sits between two intensifying nodes — Little India and Rochor, where large mixed-use redevelopment has been underway, and Dhoby Ghaut, already an interchange of three MRT lines. That combination tends to support both amenity and land values over time. Buyers should note that the surrounding area is predominantly older conservation and low-rise stock, so the likely change is gradual improvement rather than a dramatic transformation.
