Hudson Place at Media Circle is one of Singapore’s most anticipated new launch condominiums of 2026 — a rare residential development set in the heart of one-north, Singapore’s premier innovation and media district. Developed by a joint venture involving a major Singapore developer, this project offers a unique proposition: live in Singapore’s most dynamic knowledge economy hub, surrounded by tech giants, biomedical companies, media studios, and world-class research institutes.
What Is Hudson Place and Where Is It Located?
Hudson Place is a new launch condominium development located at Media Circle, within the one-north precinct of Singapore, falling under District 5. The development sits adjacent to Mediapolis — Singapore’s integrated hub for media, interactive digital media, and infocomm technology companies — alongside established tenants including Netflix, Walt Disney, Ubisoft, and Bandai Namco Entertainment.
The one-north precinct is one of Singapore’s most deliberately planned urban environments, developed by JTC Corporation and designed by world-renowned urban planner Zaha Hadid. It encompasses Biopolis (biomedical research), Fusionopolis (ICT and media), Launchpad (startups), and Mediapolis (media and digital companies). This concentration of knowledge-economy employers makes the surrounding area highly attractive for professional tenants and owner-occupiers employed in these industries.
Location Highlights
- MRT Access: Walking distance to one-north MRT Station (Circle Line) and Buona Vista MRT (Circle Line / East-West Line interchange). Approximately 10–15 minutes on MRT to CBD.

- Education: NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (within 1km), Anglo-Chinese Junior College, INSEAD Asia Campus
- Shopping/Amenities: Rochester Mall, Star Vista Shopping Centre, Holland Village (10 min), Queensway Shopping Centre (10 min)
- Parks: Kent Ridge Park, West Coast Park, Clementi Forest (future nature corridor)
Why Hudson Place at Media Circle Is Significant
Residential supply within the one-north precinct is deliberately constrained by JTC’s master plan — this is an employment and R&D zone, not a residential estate. New launch condominiums here are rare events. The last major launch in the immediate vicinity was The Rochester (launched 2006, fully sold) and one-north Residences (launched 2010, fully sold), both of which have appreciated substantially and maintain strong rental demand from one-north employees.
Hudson Place therefore represents a genuine scarcity opportunity: a new launch in a supply-constrained location with an extremely strong and growing captive tenant pool. With one-north’s employed population exceeding 50,000 professionals and expected to grow as Singapore expands its digital economy ambitions, rental demand for nearby residential units is structurally strong.
Hudson Place Indicative Prices and Unit Mix
Based on information available ahead of the official launch, Hudson Place is expected to offer the following indicative unit mix and pricing:
| Unit Type | Size (sqft) | Indicative PSF | Indicative Price |

All prices are indicative, subject to change without notice, and must be verified directly with the developer or appointed agents.
Investment Analysis — Hudson Place Rental Yield Potential
One-north is one of Singapore’s strongest rental markets due to the captive professional tenant pool. Analysis of comparable projects suggests the following rental ranges:
- 1-Bedroom (549–614 sqft): Indicative rent $3,500–$4,500/month → Gross yield 3.0%–3.8% on indicative purchase prices
- 2-Bedroom (700–850 sqft): Indicative rent $5,000–$6,500/month → Gross yield 3.3%–4.0%
- 3-Bedroom (1,098–1,292 sqft): Indicative rent $7,000–$9,500/month → Gross yield 3.2%–3.8%
These yield estimates are indicative and based on current market rental data for comparable properties in the one-north vicinity. Actual yields are subject to market conditions and may vary. Past rental performance is not indicative of future results.
Capital appreciation drivers:
- Structural supply scarcity — one-north residential land is restricted
- Employer expansion: Singapore’s Digital Economy Framework targets 200,000 tech jobs by 2030
- Infrastructure: Greater Southern Waterfront development strengthening the entire southern Singapore corridor
- Education corridor: NUS expansion plans increase academic tenant demand
- The previous two one-north area launches (The Rochester, one-north Residences) both achieved strong capital appreciation
Who Should Buy Hudson Place?
Hudson Place suits several buyer profiles particularly well:
Tech and Media Professionals
If you work at one-north — whether at Netflix, Ubisoft, A*STAR, or any of the 500+ companies in the precinct — Hudson Place offers a genuine live-where-you-work opportunity. Walking distance to the office eliminates commuting costs and adds hours to your week. This is a rare privilege in land-scarce Singapore.
Investors Targeting Expatriate Rentals
One-north employers typically relocate senior professionals from overseas on generous relocation packages — these tenants expect quality rental accommodation close to their workplace and are willing to pay meaningful premiums. The demographic tends toward stable, long-duration tenancies (2–4 years per tenancy).
NUS-Adjacent Families
Parents whose children attend NUS High School or who have older children at NUS University often seek accommodation close to campus. This creates a secondary tenant demographic alongside the corporate tenants.
Long-Horizon Capital Appreciation Buyers
For buyers with a 10–15 year horizon, one-north’s structural supply constraints and Singapore’s continued investment in its knowledge economy create a compelling case for long-term appreciation.
Key Risks to Consider
As with all property investments, there are risks to acknowledge:
- High entry price: At indicative $2,400+ PSF, Hudson Place is premium-priced. A market correction could see near-term value erosion before long-term appreciation resumes.
- Tech sector sensitivity: Rental demand is heavily correlated with one-north’s tech and media employers. A downturn in Singapore’s tech sector could soften rentals.
- Leasehold vs Freehold: Confirm the tenure with the developer. If 99-year leasehold, factor leasehold decay into long-term valuation.
- Limited unit count: Smaller developments have fewer comparable transactions, which can create pricing volatility at resale.
