Newport Residences at Anson Road is arguably the most anticipated CCR new launch condo of Singapore’s 2025/2026 cycle — a bold mixed-use development by City Developments Limited (CDL) at one of the CBD’s most prominent addresses. Positioned at the intersection of Singapore’s financial district and the rapidly transforming Tanjong Pagar/Shenton Way live-work-play corridor, Newport Residences offers an ultra-rare combination of CBD convenience and premium residential living.
Newport Residences — Project Overview
Newport Residences is a landmark mixed-use development that redefines premium living in Singapore’s Central Business District. Here is a complete snapshot of the project:
| Developer | City Developments Limited (CDL) |
| Site Address | Anson Road, District 2 (D2) — former Fuji Xerox Towers site |
| Tenure | 99-year leasehold |
| Total Residential Units | ~246 residential units (plus serviced apartments and hotel components) |
| Development Type | Mixed-use (residential + serviced apartments + hotel) |
| Unit Types | 1-Bedroom to 4-Bedroom + Penthouses |
| Expected TOP | 2029 / 2030 (indicative) |
| Nearest MRT | Tanjong Pagar MRT (EWL) — walkable; Shenton Way MRT (TEL) — within walking distance; Outram Park MRT (EWL/CCL/TEL interchange) — nearby |
As a CDL project with a mixed-use programme — residential, serviced apartments, and a hotel — Newport Residences goes far beyond a conventional condominium. Residents benefit from hotel-grade concierge services, shared amenity floors, and the vibrancy of a live-work-play precinct built into a single address.
Newport Residences — Location Analysis
Location is where Newport Residences truly earns its premium positioning. Anson Road sits at the beating heart of two of Singapore’s most dynamic urban precincts: the CBD’s financial core and the rapidly evolving Tanjong Pagar–Shenton Way corridor.
CBD skyline access: Newport Residences is surrounded by Singapore’s tallest buildings — One Raffles Quay, International Plaza, and the Marina Bay financial towers are minutes away. This is ground zero for Singapore’s finance, legal, and professional services sector.
Food, culture, and lifestyle: The location punches above its weight for lifestyle offerings. Ann Siang Hill and Tras Street deliver some of Singapore’s best independent F&B and nightlife. Maxwell Food Centre — consistently ranked among Singapore’s finest hawker centres — is a short stroll away. Lau Pa Sat, Singapore’s most iconic food hall, is within easy reach. For curated retail and dining, Guoco Tower and Tanjong Pagar Centre (one of Singapore’s most successful integrated developments combining offices, residences, and retail) are effectively next door.
Transport connectivity: Tanjong Pagar MRT (East West Line) is within comfortable walking distance, connecting residents to Raffles Place, City Hall, and Jurong East without a transfer. The newer Shenton Way MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) — which is also within the walkable catchment — dramatically enhances connectivity: direct access to Marina Bay, Orchard Road, Stevens, and Bedok on a single line. With the Outram Park interchange (EWL/CCL/TEL) also nearby, Newport Residences residents have arguably the most comprehensive MRT access of any new launch condo in Singapore’s CBD.

Newport Residences Floor Plans & Unit Mix
Newport Residences offers a curated unit mix designed to serve the full spectrum of CBD residential demand — from high-yield rental-optimised 1-bedrooms to ultra-premium penthouses with panoramic skyline views.
| Unit Type | Indicative Size | Target Profile |
|---|---|---|
| 1-Bedroom | 500–600 sqft | Sole occupant, rental-focused investor |
| 2-Bedroom | 750–1,000 sqft | Couples, DINK professionals, rental investment |
| 3-Bedroom | 1,200–1,500 sqft | Family occupier, senior executive |
| 4-Bedroom | 1,800–2,200 sqft | Ultra-premium, senior exec family, wealth buyer |
| Penthouse | Full-floor / sky layouts | UHNW buyer, panoramic CBD views, trophy asset |
Key architectural features expected at Newport Residences include floor-to-ceiling windows on every unit (maximising the CBD skyline views the address commands), sky gardens on select floors, and hotel-grade concierge services inherent to the mixed-use development structure. Rooftop facilities — pool, gym, club lounge — are expected to reflect CDL’s premium product positioning, consistent with the standard set by their prior landmark projects such as Gramercy Park and New Futura.

Newport Residences Indicative Prices 2026
Pricing for Newport Residences has not been officially released as at publication. Based on comparable CCR D2 benchmarks and CDL’s developer positioning, the following indicative price ranges are widely anticipated by market analysts:
| Unit Type | Indicative PSF | Indicative Quantum |
|---|---|---|
| 1-Bedroom | $3,000–$4,200 psf | From ~$1.7M |
| 2-Bedroom | $3,000–$4,200 psf | From ~$2.5M |
| 3-Bedroom | $3,000–$4,200 psf | From ~$4.0M |
| 4-Bedroom | $3,000–$4,200 psf | From ~$5.5M |
| Penthouse | Market premium | From ~$8M+ |
CCR comparable benchmarks: Wallich Residence, the ultra-premium tower within Tanjong Pagar Centre, transacts in the $3,500–$4,500 psf range in the resale market. V on Shenton, an older freehold CBD address, trades at $2,500–$3,500 psf resale. Newport Residences, as a brand-new CDL product in the same micro-market, is expected to command a new-build premium over these resale benchmarks — justified by fresh lease, new facilities, and CDL’s institutional build quality.

Newport Residences Rental Yield & Investment Case
The CBD rental market is one of Singapore’s most resilient and liquid residential rental segments. Demand is driven by expatriate professionals — particularly in finance, banking, legal, and consulting — who place an extremely high premium on zero-commute access to the CBD. Newport Residences, sitting directly on Anson Road, addresses this demand with unmatched directness.
Indicative rental projections:
| Unit Type | Indicative Monthly Rental | Indicative Gross Yield |
|---|---|---|
| 1-Bedroom | $5,000–$7,000/month | ~3.0–3.5% |
| 2-Bedroom | $8,000–$12,000/month | ~2.8–3.5% |
Exit liquidity in the D2 CBD market is among the strongest in Singapore. Institutional investors, family offices, UHNW buyers, and expat end-users compete actively for quality CBD residential assets. CDL’s brand premium — and the built-in vibrancy of the mixed-use development — add to Newport Residences’ long-term resale story. CDL projects have historically outperformed generic developer products in capital appreciation over 5–10 year cycles.

Is Newport Residences Worth Buying in 2026?
The honest answer: yes, for the right buyer — and with a clear-eyed view of the ABSD implications at this quantum.
The bull case is compelling: District 2 CCR address with walkable TEL (Shenton Way) access. CDL developer quality with a proven track record of premium CBD builds. A mixed-use programme that delivers hotel-style amenities and live-work-play vibrancy. Approximately 246 residential units in a micro-market where supply is structurally constrained. A rare new-build opportunity in a precinct where virtually all comparable addresses are resale.
The primary hurdle is ABSD: At a $1.7M+ entry for a 1-bedroom, Singapore Citizens purchasing their second property face an ABSD of 20% (~$340K on a $1.7M unit). For foreigners, the 60% ABSD at this quantum is prohibitive — a $1.7M 1-bedroom carries ~$1.02M in ABSD alone. This narrows the realistic buyer pool to: SC first-property buyers, PRs (with ABSD planning), decoupled couples, and institutional/UHNW foreign investors for whom ABSD is an acceptable cost-of-entry for a trophy CBD asset.
For Singapore Citizen first-property buyers, Newport Residences represents one of the most compelling value propositions in the 2025/2026 new launch cycle: a genuine D2 CBD address, CDL quality, and direct TEL access, in a rising precinct where Tanjong Pagar Centre’s success demonstrates sustained long-term demand. For this buyer, Newport Residences is not just a home — it is a foundational wealth asset.
