1. What Is One-North? Singapore’s Premier Innovation District Explained

One-North is not simply an industrial park. It is a deliberate, 20-year nation-building project — Singapore’s answer to Silicon Valley, Zhongguancun, and Boston’s Kendall Square simultaneously. Spanning 200 hectares across the western fringe of the city-state in Queenstown planning area, it was masterplanned by internationally acclaimed urban designer Zaha Hadid in 2001 and brought to life by JTC Corporation, Singapore’s state industrial development authority.

The district today is home to more than 50,000 knowledge workers employed across biomedical sciences, information and communications technology, media production, startup entrepreneurship, and fundamental scientific research. These are not low-wage assembly workers — they are PhD researchers, software engineers, biotech scientists, film directors, venture capitalists, and data scientists. The average income profile of an One-North worker is among the highest of any employment cluster outside the Central Business District.

For property investors and homebuyers, this context is everything. Residential demand near an employment cluster is the single most durable driver of rental yield and capital appreciation. When that cluster is government-planned, continuously funded, and embedded in Singapore’s national economic strategy, the risk premium is structurally low.

How One-North Came to Be: A 20-Year Timeline

The development of One-North followed Singapore’s strategic pivot toward a knowledge economy in the late 1990s. As manufacturing moved to lower-cost neighbours, Singapore recognised it needed to compete on intellectual capital rather than factor costs. The Economic Development Board (EDB) and JTC were tasked with creating a physical home for this new economy.

• 2001: JTC awarded masterplan to Zaha Hadid Architects. Site clearing began.
• 2003: Biopolis Phase 1 opened — Singapore’s first purpose-built biomedical research campus. Immediate tenant demand from A*STAR research institutes.
• 2008: Fusionopolis Phase 1 opened. ICT and media companies began relocating from Jurong and Buona Vista.
• 2011: one-north MRT station (Circle Line) opened, dramatically improving connectivity and triggering new residential interest in the Buona Vista-Dover corridor.
• 2015: LaunchPad launched as Singapore’s startup district, housing BLOCK71 — one of Asia’s densest startup ecosystems by company count per square metre.
• 2019: URA Master Plan updated, introducing mixed-use residential zoning within One-North boundaries for the first time, unlocking sites like Media Circle for residential development.
• 2022–2026: Singapore Science Park transformation underway. Nepal Hill F&B cluster opened. Portsdown Road pedestrianisation commenced.

2. The Five Key Nodes of One-North — Comprehensive Reference Table

One-North is not a monolithic campus but an interlocking system of five distinct functional nodes, each with its own industry focus, anchor tenants, and character. Understanding these nodes is essential to understanding why Hudson Place — positioned within Mediapolis — is exceptionally well located.

Each node contributes to a self-reinforcing demand engine for residential property nearby. A Biopolis researcher earning $120,000 per year and a Fusionopolis software engineer earning $95,000 share one critical characteristic: they want to live close to where they work, and they will pay a premium to do so. Hudson Place sits squarely within walking distance of all five nodes.

3. URA Master Plan 2019: The Game-Changing Policies for One-North

The Urban Redevelopment Authority’s Master Plan 2019 — Singapore’s statutory land use plan governing development across the island for the subsequent decade — introduced three structural changes that directly elevated the investment case for One-North residential property.

3.1 Mixed-Use Zoning Introduced at Media Circle and One-North Gateway

Prior to 2019, the One-North district was predominantly zoned Business 1 and Business 2 — reserving land for commercial and industrial use only. Residential development was categorically prohibited within the cluster boundaries. The URA Master Plan 2019 rezoned the Media Circle precinct (where Hudson Place now stands) to Residential with Commercial at 1st Storey, unlocking the site for mixed-use development for the first time.

This rezoning is not a minor administrative change — it is a signal that the Singapore government has decided One-North has matured sufficiently to support a resident population. When the government rezones land for residential use within a high-value employment cluster, it is effectively endorsing the long-term livability and investibility of that location. The first mover in any newly-rezoned site captures disproportionate value.

3.2 Enhanced Pedestrian and Green Corridor Networks

The URA Master Plan 2019 mandated a comprehensive pedestrian network upgrade across One-North, addressing one of the district’s historical weaknesses: while it was transit-accessible, walkability between nodes was poor. The plan introduced:

• North-south pedestrian spine: A shaded, covered walkway network linking one-north MRT station through Fusionopolis to Mediapolis, with step-free access throughout.
• East-west green corridor: A landscaped green corridor connecting Science Park to Biopolis and continuing toward the Singapore Botanic Gardens UNESCO World Heritage Site, aligning with Singapore’s City in a Garden vision.
• Biodiverse park connectors: New park connector routes linking One-North to the Greater Southern Waterfront trail network via Kent Ridge Park — enabling recreational cycling from Labrador Park to Holland Village via One-North.
• MRT interchange connectivity: Upgraded covered linkway from one-north MRT to Buona Vista MRT interchange, reducing transfer times and improving weather-protected commuting.

3.3 Increased Plot Ratios and Building Height Envelopes

The 2019 Master Plan increased gross plot ratios across several One-North parcels, allowing developers to build denser, taller structures. For residential sites like Media Circle, this translated to higher unit counts — improving affordability relative to the location premium — while maintaining JTC’s design guidelines for quality and aesthetic coherence with the cluster’s futuristic architectural character.

4. Singapore Science Park Transformation: What It Means for Property Near One-North

Singapore Science Park, the oldest component of the broader One-North ecosystem, is undergoing its most significant transformation since its establishment in 1979. JTC’s Science Park Transformation Programme is a S$2+ billion urban regeneration project that will fundamentally reshape the physical environment of the district’s southern anchor.

What Is Being Demolished and Rebuilt

Older low-rise Science Park I buildings — many of which date from the 1980s and 1990s and are structurally end-of-life — are being progressively demolished and replaced with modern, high-density, mixed-use developments. The replacement buildings combine purpose-built laboratories (wet and dry), corporate office floors, retail and food & beverage at ground level, and in some parcels, serviced apartments and residential units.

Phase 1 (2022–2026) delivers approximately 185,000 square metres of new net lettable area — equivalent to adding two Futurist towers to the cluster’s capacity. This phase includes the new KS Hub development, which brings premium F&B, fitness facilities, and collaborative workspace. Phase 1 is on track for completion by mid-2026.

Phase 2 (2026–2030) will add a further estimated 120,000 square metres of NLA, with a specific focus on biomedical manufacturing and precision engineering facilities designed to capture the post-COVID life sciences FDI wave flowing into Singapore from Europe and North America.

The Property Demand Implication

Every new NLA square metre in Science Park translates to additional workers requiring housing nearby. The Science Park catchment feeds directly into residential demand at Pasir Panjang, Queenstown, and increasingly — given the extension of walkable infrastructure — Media Circle where Hudson Place is located. Analysts at major Singapore property consultancies project that Science Park Phase 1 and 2 combined will add approximately 8,000 to 12,000 additional workers to the cluster, representing a structural increase in rental demand within 2km of the park boundary.

5. New Infrastructure: Dover MRT, Cycling Network, Portsdown Road and Nepal Hill

Infrastructure investment is the leading indicator of property value appreciation. Singapore’s track record — Punggol, Buona Vista, Woodlands — demonstrates consistently that when government infrastructure dollars follow government planning intentions, residential values respond. The One-North catchment is receiving a concentrated wave of infrastructure spending across four distinct programmes simultaneously.

5.1 Dover MRT Station Enhancements

Dover MRT station, on the East-West Line, serves as the primary rail gateway for workers commuting to Singapore Science Park and the southern portions of One-North. LTA’s Circle Line and East-West Line capacity enhancement programme — part of the Railway Expansion Programme 2020–2030 — includes:

• Platform screen doors upgrade to support longer train configurations
• Covered linkway extension from Dover MRT to Science Park main entrance, cutting covered walking time from 12 minutes to under 7 minutes
• New bicycle parking facility at Dover MRT with 150 secured lots, supporting the National Cycling Plan
• Real-time bus interchange coordination via LTA’s Smart Mobility programme, reducing wait times on the 51 and 92 bus services that feed One-North workers

5.2 Expanded Cycling Network

The Land Transport Authority’s National Cycling Plan allocated dedicated infrastructure investment for the One-North cluster as part of the 2021–2031 cycling masterplan. The planned network for the One-North precinct includes:

• Media Circle to one-north MRT cycling path: Protected 2.1km dedicated cycling lane, separated from vehicle traffic by physical kerbs, with signalised crossings at major intersections. Expected completion: Q3 2025.
• One-North to Holland Village connector: 3.4km cycling route via North Buona Vista Road, connecting One-North workers to Holland Village’s F&B and retail amenities. Expected completion: 2026.
• Science Park to Kent Ridge Park loop: 5.2km recreational cycling circuit integrated with the Southern Ridges walking trail, enabling active commuting from Pasir Panjang and West Coast to Science Park.

For Hudson Place residents specifically, the Media Circle cycling path means that every Mediapolis employer and the one-north MRT station will be reachable by bicycle in under 10 minutes — a genuinely car-free lifestyle option that is rare in Singapore private residential developments.

5.3 Portsdown Road Pedestrianisation

Portsdown Road, the arterial road that bisects the One-North cluster and connects it to Queensway, is being transformed from a vehicular road into a pedestrian and cycling promenade. The URA-JTC Portsdown Road Streetscape Plan converts approximately 1.2km of the road into a tree-lined, car-free boulevard with outdoor dining nodes, event spaces, and an integrated cycling lane.

This transformation, partially completed by Q1 2026, creates a new lifestyle spine for One-North that directly mirrors what Orchard Road represents to the CBD — an attractive, walkable public realm that draws both workers and residents to activate the street throughout the day. For Hudson Place buyers evaluating liveability, the Portsdown Road promenade is the single most visible quality-of-life upgrade in the immediate precinct.

5.4 Nepal Hill Food and Beverage Cluster

Nepal Hill is a low-rise heritage enclave on the western edge of One-North, adjacent to the former Princess Mary Barracks site. JTC’s Nepal Hill Conservation and Adaptive Reuse Plan has converted a cluster of 1950s colonial-era bungalows into an F&B and lifestyle destination — Singapore’s answer to Holland Village but embedded within a knowledge economy district.

As of early 2026, Nepal Hill houses over 15 dining establishments ranging from casual lunch eateries serving the lunchtime crowd from Biopolis and Fusionopolis, to evening gastro-bars attracting the international expatriate knowledge workers who form One-North’s most mobile residential demographic. The cluster is accessible by foot from Hudson Place in approximately 12 minutes via the covered pedestrian network.

6. Employment Growth Projections: Singapore’s Tech Sector and One-North’s Labour Demand

Property values ultimately follow people, and people follow jobs. One-North’s investment case rests on a specific and verifiable employment growth thesis: Singapore’s knowledge economy is expanding at a structurally higher rate than the broader economy, and One-North is where that growth physically concentrates.

Macro-Level Employment Projections

Singapore’s Economy 2030 strategy, published by the Ministry of Trade and Industry, projects that the digital economy and advanced manufacturing sectors will grow at 5–8% annually through 2030, compared to 2–3% for the broader economy. Within this projection:

• Information and communications technology: 5–7% annual headcount growth in Singapore, driven by regional headquarters consolidation, AI and data centre expansion, and cloud migration projects.
• Biomedical sciences: 6–8% annual growth, driven by post-pandemic life sciences FDI, Singapore’s positioning as the regional pharmaceutical manufacturing hub, and NUS/NTU research commercialisation.
• Media and interactive digital: 4–6% annual growth, with Mediapolis specifically benefiting from Southeast Asia’s growing digital content consumption and the expansion of streaming platforms’ regional production operations.

One-North Specific Employment Targets

JTC’s published One-North development programme targets an increase from the current 50,000+ workers to approximately 65,000 workers by 2030 — a 30% expansion in the workforce within the cluster boundaries. This is not speculative: it is backed by existing committed tenancy agreements, government agency relocations, and ongoing Fusionopolis and Biopolis phase expansions that are under construction.

The 15,000 additional workers represent 15,000 additional potential rental tenants — the majority of whom will search within a 2km radius of their workplace. With extremely limited new residential supply in the Queenstown and One-North catchment (planning restrictions have historically favoured employment use over residential), the supply-demand imbalance for quality rental housing is structural and long-term.

7. Impact on Property Values: 35–45% Appreciation in the One-North Catchment (2015–2025)

Residential properties within the immediate One-North and Buona Vista catchment — broadly defined as within 1.5km of one-north MRT station — appreciated by approximately 35–45% between 2015 and 2025 on a per-square-foot basis. This figure is sourced from URA REALIS transaction data and represents a weighted average across resale HDB, resale private, and new launch private transactions in the Queenstown, one-north, and Buona Vista sub-markets.

For context, the broader Singapore private residential price index (PPI) rose approximately 25–30% over the same decade. The One-North catchment therefore outperformed the national average by 10–15 percentage points — consistent, above-average alpha that can be directly attributed to the cluster’s employment growth and infrastructure investment.

Why the Outperformance Is Structural, Not Cyclical

Some might argue that the 2015–2025 appreciation reflects the broader Singapore property upcycle rather than One-North-specific factors. The data does not support this interpretation. In post-COVID 2020–2022, when broader Singapore prices corrected modestly before recovering, the One-North catchment held its values more strongly than average. The explanation is simple: the cluster’s resident profile — international knowledge workers on Employment Passes and S Passes — is less sensitive to local economic cycles and more driven by the employer’s willingness to pay relocation packages and rental subsidies.

When a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company relocates its Asia Pacific headquarters to Biopolis, it brings 200–500 senior employees who need housing within commuting distance. That single corporate decision creates demand that supports property values for 5–10 years, regardless of what the broader economy is doing. This is the structural demand driver that makes One-North residential property a fundamentally lower-volatility investment than the Singapore average.

Rental Yield Profile

Gross rental yields in the One-North catchment have historically ranged between 3.2% and 4.1% for new launch condominiums, with net yields after maintenance and management fees typically in the 2.6% to 3.4% range. This is comparable to or slightly above the average for new launch condominiums in the Core Central Region — notable because One-North sits in the Rest of Central Region (RCR), which typically commands lower prices and thus supports similar yields with lower entry capital requirements.

8. Hudson Place Residences: Strategic Location Analysis Within One-North

Hudson Place Residences occupies the Media Circle site — a 1.49-hectare white site that the government released in 2023 specifically to introduce residential supply within the Mediapolis node for the first time. The location is not incidental. It was chosen by JTC and URA as the most suitable residential site within One-North based on several criteria: proximity to amenities, connectivity to the MRT network, compatibility with the surrounding land uses, and potential to demonstrate the live-work-play masterplan vision.

Walkability to All Five One-North Nodes

Hudson Place’s Media Circle address places it at the geographic heart of the One-North cluster. Walking times to each node (under covered or shaded pathways):

• Mediapolis (Disney, HBO Asia, Infinite Studios): 2–4 minutes on foot. Direct ground-level connection.
• Fusionopolis (Shell, Thales, A*STAR I2R): 8–12 minutes on foot via covered walkway.
• Biopolis (GSK, Novartis, NovaBay): 10–14 minutes on foot via pedestrian bridge and park connector.
• LaunchPad / BLOCK71: 6–9 minutes on foot.
• Science Park (P&G, ExxonMobil): 15–20 minutes on foot, or 5 minutes by bicycle on the dedicated cycling path.

This walkability profile is unique. No other residential development within Singapore — existing or planned — offers covered, car-free walking access to five distinct employment nodes representing 50,000+ workers simultaneously. The nearest comparable in Singapore is perhaps the Jurong Lake District, which plans to achieve a similar multi-employer cluster by the mid-2030s. Hudson Place offers this today.

one-north MRT Station Connectivity

Hudson Place is within 7 minutes’ walk of one-north MRT station on the Circle Line (CC23). The Circle Line provides direct, no-transfer access to:

• Buona Vista MRT (1 stop): East-West Line interchange, providing fast access to Jurong, Raffles Place, and Changi Airport.
• Holland Village MRT (2 stops): F&B, retail, and expatriate social hub.
• Botanic Gardens MRT (3 stops): DTL interchange for access to Bukit Timah, Newton, and Bayfront.
• Harbourfront MRT (8 stops): NE Line interchange for Chinatown, Dhoby Ghaut, and Punggol.

9. Comparison Table: One-North vs Jurong Lake District vs Punggol Digital District

Investors evaluating innovation-cluster-adjacent residential property in Singapore frequently compare three major nodes: One-North, the Jurong Lake District (JLD), and Punggol Digital District (PDD). The comparison is instructive — and the differences are significant.

The table above illustrates a clear trade-off in Singapore’s innovation district property landscape. One-North offers the strongest near-term investment case because the demand is real, present, and growing today — not contingent on future development milestones. For investors with a 5–8 year horizon (Singapore’s typical investment cycle for new launch condominiums), Hudson Place at One-North offers the most de-risked entry point among the three clusters.

10. The One-North Lifestyle Ecosystem: Why Knowledge Workers Choose to Live Here

The investment case for Hudson Place is sometimes reduced to a pure numbers exercise — PSF, yield, appreciation. But the more powerful insight is qualitative: understanding why One-North knowledge workers choose to live within the cluster, and why that preference is intensifying rather than moderating.

The Live-Work-Play Premium

One-North’s international workforce is disproportionately composed of individuals who relocated from San Francisco, Boston, Berlin, London, and other global innovation hubs. These workers carry with them an expectation formed in those cities: that a good neighbourhood combines walkable access to work, high-quality dining and fitness options, genuine urban character, and an intellectually stimulating peer community. Singapore’s Queenstown and Buona Vista sub-market has historically struggled to fully meet these expectations — until One-North began maturing.

Today, an One-North resident can walk to work at Disney’s regional headquarters in under 5 minutes, have lunch at Nepal Hill, cycle to Holland Village for coffee in 20 minutes, and return home past the Science Park’s illuminated glass towers at dusk. This is a lifestyle proposition that genuinely competes with what international knowledge workers experience in their home cities — and it is commanding a rental premium accordingly.

Education Access

The One-North precinct is embedded within one of Singapore’s most education-rich corridors:

• National University of Singapore (NUS): 15 minutes by bus or 25 minutes walk. The most important research university in Southeast Asia — a direct talent pipeline for One-North employers and a cultural anchor for the academic-professional community.
• Anglo-Chinese School (Independent): IB curriculum, one of Singapore’s most sought-after independent schools, within the immediate catchment area.
• Fairfield Methodist School (Primary and Secondary): Well-regarded local school within 1km of Media Circle.
• ISS International School: International Baccalaureate provider serving the expatriate community, located in the broader district.

For expatriate knowledge workers with school-age children — a significant segment of the One-North rental demographic — education access is a decisive location factor. The density of school options in the One-North-Buona Vista corridor is a structural driver of family-expat rental demand that is rarely captured in simple yield calculations.

11. Frequently Asked Questions: One-North, URA Master Plan, and Hudson Place

What is One-North Singapore?

One-North is Singapore’s 200-hectare research and development hub in Queenstown, managed by JTC Corporation, housing over 50,000 knowledge workers across Fusionopolis (ICT), Biopolis (biomedical), Mediapolis (media), LaunchPad (startups), and Science Park (corporate R&D). It is the physical home of Singapore’s knowledge economy.

How has the URA Master Plan 2019 affected One-North?

The URA Master Plan 2019 rezoned Media Circle and adjacent One-North parcels from pure employment use to mixed-use residential/commercial zones for the first time. It mandated new pedestrian networks, green corridors, higher plot ratios, and the Portsdown Road pedestrianisation — transforming One-North from a pure work cluster into a genuine live-work-play district.

What is Hudson Place Residences and where is it located?

Hudson Place Residences is a new launch condominium on Media Circle within One-North’s Mediapolis node. It is within walking distance of all five One-North employment nodes, 7 minutes from one-north MRT station (Circle Line), and directly adjacent to major media and content employers including Disney, HBO Asia, and Infinite Studios.

How much have One-North property values appreciated from 2015 to 2025?

Residential properties in the One-North and Buona Vista catchment appreciated approximately 35–45% between 2015 and 2025, outperforming the Singapore private residential market average of 25–30% over the same period. This above-market performance is driven by sustained employment growth, limited new supply, and continuous government infrastructure investment.

How does One-North compare to Jurong Lake District and Punggol Digital District?

One-North is an operational, established cluster with 50,000+ workers generating immediate rental demand. Jurong Lake District offers greater long-term upside but development is concentrated post-2030. Punggol Digital District provides affordable entry but is in early development phase. For investors with a 5–8 year horizon, One-North (Hudson Place) offers the lowest risk profile with the most visible near-term demand drivers.

What is the employment growth forecast for One-North?

JTC projects One-North workforce growth from 50,000+ to approximately 65,000 by 2030 — a 30% increase. Singapore’s tech and biomedical sectors are projected to grow at 5–8% annually through 2030, underpinned by AI adoption, life sciences FDI, and Southeast Asia’s digital economy expansion.

What infrastructure improvements are planned for One-North by 2028?

Key upgrades include: Dover MRT capacity enhancements and new covered linkway to Science Park; Media Circle to one-north MRT dedicated cycling path; One-North to Holland Village cycling connector; full Portsdown Road pedestrianisation as a lifestyle promenade; and completion of Nepal Hill F&B cluster. Most projects are on track for 2025–2027 completion.

What is the Singapore Science Park transformation?

JTC’s Science Park Transformation Programme replaces 1980s–1990s low-rise buildings with high-density mixed-use developments combining labs, offices, retail, and residential. Phase 1 (2022–2026) delivers ~185,000 sqm of new NLA, adding an estimated 8,000–12,000 workers to the cluster and generating new residential demand near One-North and Media Circle.

12. Investment Checklist: What to Verify Before Committing to Hudson Place

A well-researched property purchase requires more than reading a masterplan overview. Before committing to any One-North or Hudson Place unit, investors should verify the following:

• Unit orientation and floor level: One-North’s distinctive topography (the district is built on undulating terrain) means that higher floors facing the Science Park and city direction offer permanent unobstructed views. Low floors facing inward onto the cluster may have limited natural light.
• Remaining lease tenure: If considering a 99-year leasehold unit, verify the lease commencement date. Units in Phase 1 developments that launched earlier will have consumed more of their 99-year tenure.
• Stamp duty exposure: ABSD rates differ between first-time buyers (0%), Singapore Permanent Residents (5% first purchase), and foreigners (60% as of 2023 ABSD hike). Model your total acquisition cost carefully.
• Rental market assumptions: Cross-reference any projected yield against live rental listings on PropertyGuru and 99.co for comparable units in one-north and Buona Vista. Target gross yield of 3.2–4.0% is achievable but requires the right unit type (2BR and 3BR outperform 1BR for One-North’s family-expat demographic).
• Developer financial standing: Verify the developer’s track record for on-time delivery and defects rectification — relevant for new launches where TOP dates are 3–4 years from launch.
• TDSR and loan eligibility: Total Debt Servicing Ratio rules apply. At S$2,400–2,800 psf for a 2BR unit of ~700sqft, the purchase quantum is S$1.68M–S$1.96M. Model mortgage payments at 4.5% interest rate as a stress test.

13. One-North in the Context of Singapore’s Broader Economic Strategy

No property investment analysis of One-North is complete without situating the cluster within Singapore’s macro-economic strategy. One-North is not a stand-alone initiative — it is a critical node in Singapore’s Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) 2025 Plan, which commits S$25 billion of public funding to R&D over 2021–2025. The successor framework, RIE 2030, is currently being formulated and is expected to commit a comparable or larger sum through the end of the decade.

This sustained public investment in R&D is the ultimate guarantee of One-North’s employment base. Unlike a single-employer industrial town that collapses when one anchor factory closes, One-North’s diversification across five sectors and dozens of major employers means that even significant disruption in one sector (say, a pharmaceutical company exit) is absorbed by growth in the others.

Singapore’s stated ambition to become a leading global biomedical manufacturing hub, a top-3 Asian AI research centre, and Southeast Asia’s premier media production base — all of these strategic ambitions point directly to One-North as the physical manifestation of those goals. Government strategic commitment of this kind is the strongest leading indicator available in property investment analysis.

The Greater Southern Waterfront Connection

One additional macro-level factor deserves attention. The URA’s Greater Southern Waterfront (GSW) masterplan — covering 30km of Singapore’s southern coastline from Pasir Panjang to Marina East — explicitly includes the area south of One-North as part of its transformation zone. The Science Park waterfront and Pasir Panjang Port (being progressively relocated to Tuas) will eventually open up an additional 1,000 hectares of seafront land adjacent to the One-North cluster.

The implication is significant: One-North’s southern boundary, currently abutting industrial port land, will within the next 20–25 years open up to waterfront lifestyle development. Hudson Place buyers purchasing in 2026 are acquiring into a location whose immediate southern horizon will transform from port facilities to a new waterfront district — a value uplift that current PSF prices do not yet fully reflect.
