Properties for sale or rent within walking distance to Shaw cinemas (including IMAX theatres)
It’s great when you can live in a neighbourhood with easy access to a shopping mall, food outlets, transport hub and a top-grade cinema. Even more so if they’re within walking distance (or a lift ride down) from your front door.
While most of us are usually satisfied with Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Videos or Apple TV+ services at home, nothing beats the occasional late-night jaunt to a nearby movie theatre to catch that blockbuster film – like the recent ‘made-for-IMAX’ Dune by Denis Villeneuve.
No one can say no to watching these films on gigantic 19-metre-high (or larger) screens with discrete 12-channel surround sound. In fact, you can check out upcoming movies filmed for the IMAX experience.
Not only that, experiencing a movie with your loved ones (especially with your kids) before heading back just in time for bed is a luxury not everyone has. There’s a distinctive thrill and bond when you discuss what you’ve watched with your family on the walk home.
While there are many great cinema chains in Singapore, like Cathay Cineplexes and Golden Village, we’re focusing on the 8 Shaw theatres, particularly its five Shaw IMAX cinemas in Singapore.
If you’re a big cinematic experience-type of person and you’re in the midst of house-hunting (to rent or buy), we’ve highlighted a few condos around the area (or above the theatre) but included a listing which, may include several resale HDB apartments as well.
1. Shaw IMAX Theatre at Lido Cineplex, Shaw Centre (Orchard)
Located in the prestigious District 10 in the heart of Orchard Road, Shaw’s flagship cinema, Lido Cineplex, is at the intersection of Orchard Road with Scotts Road and Paterson Road, conveniently linked by underpasses directly to Orchard MRT Station and Wheelock Place.
District 10 is also commonly associated with one of the most affluent residential estates in Singapore. Residents can enjoy wide open green spaces, a plethora of dining options and excellent condo facilities. Since most condos are older in this district, the average unit size is very generous compared to today’s newer developments. There are several condos within walking distance to Shaw Centre, a few of which include:
● The Claymore – walking distance: 6 min (500m)
● Tate Residences – walking distance: 5 min (400m)
● Ardmore Park – walking distance: 11 min (900m)
● Draycott 8 – walking distance: 9 min (800m)
● Scotts 28 – walking distance: 9 min (750m)

5. Shaw IMAX Theatre at Jewel (Changi Airport)
As one of the coolest places on the island, finding an IMAX theatre at the Jewel Changi Airport is like the icing on the cake for an enjoyable day out. While there are no condos within walking distance to the Jewel (there are several a short 7-minute drive away, like Sunhaven, Hedges Park and Parc Olympia), the nearby hotels make a movie outing very possible during a staycation stint.
● YOTELAir Singapore Changi Airport – Walking time: 3 min (120m)
Located on the 4th floor of Jewel Changi Airport.
● Crowne Plaza Changi Airport, an IHG Hotel – Walking time: 6 mins (500m)
Located at Terminal 3, this award-winning hotel (voted World’s Best Airport Hotel in 2020 by Skytrax World Airport Awards) for six consecutive years is already seamlessly connected to Jewel Changi via the SkyTrain and link bridge.
● Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore – shuttle bus provided (7 min drive)
Located on the grounds of Laguna Country Club, the gorgeous Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore is a sanctuary retreat within the city, giving Sentosa staycations a run for their money. While walking to Jewel from the hotel is not feasible, we’d recommend taking the regular shuttle bus for hotel guests.
The remaining Shaw cinemas do not have IMAX but promise just as good movie-outing experiences for you and your family.
6. Shaw Theatres at The Seletar Mall (Sengkang)
Opened in 2014, Shaw Theatres at The Seletar Mall was the brand’s first foray into its concept of boutique neighbourhood cinemas. The mall offers an extensive range of F&B outlets since 30 per cent of the space area is dedicated to F&B.
● H2O Residences – walking distance: 6mins (500m)
● High Park Residences – walking distance: 9mins (700m)
● Summer Villas – walking distance: 10 mins (800m)
● Rivertrees Residences – walking distance: 9mins (750m)

In conclusion, cinema chains have done a great job of strategically being positioned in neighbourhoods and areas that are well populated and offer a wide variety of lifestyle amenities to many residents.
For suburban locations that are a bit farther out, there tend to be more HDB flats than condos (think JCube and NEX), but it’s still a well-thought-out plan given the convenience of public transport available. Likewise, while Jewel doesn’t have any condos within walking distance, that is hardly a deterrent for avid cinema-goers. If anything, it’s a genius plan to offer an IMAX cinema experience at one of the most popular lifestyle addresses in town.
