In Singapore, "mansion" most commonly refers to the name of a residential development, typically a condominium or apartment, rather than a landed bungalow or luxury detached home. There are multiple well-known developments with “Mansion” in their name, located in prime districts and catering to buyers seeking exclusivity and premium urban living.
- Meyer Mansion: A freehold apartment in District 15 along Meyer Road, completed in 2024. It offers luxurious waterfront living with proximity to East Coast Park, key expressways, and amenities like shopping malls and reputable schools. Recent sale prices range from S$2,734 to S$3,164 per square foot, with an average rental yield of 2.8%.

When Singaporeans discuss "mansions," especially in residential context, it usually points to these luxury apartment/condo developments. It’s rare for the term to refer to classic landed mansions, as landed property is typically called "bungalow" or "good class bungalow" locally. Mansion-named developments are favoured for their premium location, amenities, and upscale finishes, ideal for those seeking exclusive urban lifestyles.
