Hudson Place Residences: one-north's Yield Machine
Live where the tenants already are. Hudson Place Residences plants 327 homes in two towers at Media Circle, in the middle of one-north's R&D, tech and media hub, a precinct with tens of thousands of knowledge workers and almost no private homes to house them. The Qingjian-led consortium priced it to move, and it moved: 201 units, 61.5%, on the May 2026 opening weekend at an average of $2,458 psf, the best-selling launch of the month, with every 3-bedroom gone. Here is the independent case.
Scored against the same independent 100-point framework used across the PropertyNet Insider Benchmark. No developer fees, no sponsored placements.
Why This Score
An average of $2,458 psf undercut its Media Circle neighbour's benchmark despite launching a year later, and nearly 80% of buyers paid below $2.5 million, quantums the rental math can actually support. The 61.5% opening weekend validated it emphatically. The deduction reflects that remaining stock skews to the larger, dearer formats after the 3-bedder sell-out.
A walk-to-work address for one-north's workforce, a full club-and-pools facilities deck across the podium and rooftop, and efficient 2 and 3-bedroom formats built for the precinct's tenant profile. The deduction reflects no doorstep MRT, a thin school catchment, and an address that appeals to a specific, employment-led buyer rather than everyone.
one-north keeps compounding: Biopolis, Fusionopolis and Mediapolis continue to add employers, the Media Circle masterplan is turning the precinct into a live-in district, and private housing supply inside one-north remains structurally short of its workforce. The deduction reflects the 99-year tenure and that future Media Circle parcels will keep arriving.
The tenant pool is deep and professional, vacancy in the precinct runs short, and the low entry quantums keep the future resale buyer pool wide. The deduction reflects the 99-year lease, direct competition from neighbouring Bloomsbury Residences and later Media Circle launches at resale, and an investor-heavy profile that can synchronise exits.

Why This Location Matters
one-north is the rare precinct where the demand story needs no imagination: Biopolis, Fusionopolis and Mediapolis surround the site with a professional workforce that mostly commutes in, because the precinct has never had enough homes. Hudson Place puts its residents a stroll from those campuses, with one-north MRT and the Buona Vista interchange a short walk or ride away, and Star Vista, Holland Village and Rochester Commons as the lifestyle orbit.

The Product and Facilities
Two towers, 15 and 23 storeys, rise over a landscaped podium that carries the 35-metre main pool, spa and social pools, the Hudson Club's dining and lounges, a gym, study pods and social courts, with the rooftop Hudson Terrace adding a tennis court and skyline decks. The formats are tuned precisely to the precinct: efficient 2-bedders for professionals and couples, family 3-bedders that sold out on day one, and a small crown of suites and penthouses.

The Investment Case
The bull case is arithmetic: a walk-to-work tenant pool measured in the tens of thousands, entry quantums mostly under $2.5 million, and a launch price that undercut the precinct benchmark. That combination is why it out-sold everything in May. The honest counterweights: a 99-year lease, no doorstep MRT, and the certainty of more Media Circle supply, including Bloomsbury next door, competing at exit. Strong Buy at 82/100, with the 2-bedroom formats as the natural instruments.

The Bottom Line
Hudson Place Residences is the cleanest demand-supply story of 2026: hundreds of homes dropped into an employment hub that has always been short of them, priced under the precinct benchmark, with the market's answer, 61.5% in a weekend and every 3-bedder gone, doing the arguing. The 99-year lease, the MRT walk and the future Media Circle pipeline are the honest caveats. Strong Buy at 82/100, with the 2-bedders as the instruments and the tenant pool as the thesis.
