one-north has quickly become one of Singapore’s most attractive districts for both investors and homebuyers. Backed by strong tenant demand and ongoing transformation, the key question today is clear: Is now the right time to enter District 5—and where is the next growth opportunity?
Resale prices in District 5 have risen by around 17% over the past two years, while rental demand remains resilient despite a moderation in transaction volumes. This signals a market shifting into a more sustainable phase of growth—creating a compelling window for new launches like Hudson Place Residences to capture future upside.
Hudson Place Residences: A New Entry into a Growing District
Hudson Place Residences is an upcoming new launch located along Media Circle, within the one-north precinct (District 5) by a consortium of Chinese developers, Qingjian Realty, Forsea Holdings, CYZ Land, and Jianan Capital. It sits adjacent to Bloomsbury Residences, a neighbouring project by the same consortium, which was launched in April 2025 and has achieved 86% take-up to date.
Expected to launch in May 2026, the development comprises 327 units, ranging from 2- to 4-bedroom layouts as well as penthouses. Prices are expected to start from approximately $1.4M (around $2,200 psf) for a 2-bedroom unit.

Entering the market at a stage where one-north is still evolving as a residential enclave, it offers buyers a chance to secure a foothold before the precinct reaches full maturity. As infrastructure, amenities, and residential density continue to build up, early entrants may benefit from both capital appreciation and rental growth over time.
Resale & Rental Price Trends in District 5: What the Data Is Telling Us

On the rental side, transaction volumes have gradually declined from an average of 668 per month in 2024 to 456 per month in 2026 year-to-date. Despite this slowdown in activity, rental prices have continued to edge up from around $5.20 psf in 2024 to $5.50 psf in April 2026. This suggests that while demand is becoming more selective, tenants are still willing to pay for well-located and quality units, supporting overall rental resilience in the district.

What This Means for Buyers Considering Hudson Place Residences
Although one-north is still developing as a residential district, its proximity to established areas like Buona Vista and Queenstown, together with major employment hubs such as Biopolis, Fusionopolis, and Mediapolis, underpins its long-term growth trajectory. As these elements continue to come together, the precinct is set to evolve into a more complete live-work-play environment—supporting stronger demand and sustained growth in the residential market.
For buyers, this presents a timely opportunity. New developments like Hudson Place Residences are entering the market while these growth drivers are still unfolding, positioning them to benefit from both future capital appreciation and rental demand.
