Kopar At Newton's Excellent Transportation Links
Kopar At Newton is well-served by public transportation. Beside the many buses plying the area, the Newton MRT station is just 5 minutes walk from the condo. With the Newton station being an interchange for the North-South and Downtown Lines, it provides residents great convenience when travelling around Singapore, be it for work or leisure.
In fact, both MRT lines bring commuters straight into the Marina Bay area and Singapore's financial centre in Raffle Place. And if you are driving, it takes less than 15 minutes to reach Singapore's Central Business District (CBD).
The Kopar At Newton is also close to two major expressways - the Central Expressway (CTE) and Pan-Island Expressway (PIE). Given its closeness to two major expressways, it will cut down travelling time for those driving to work outside the central area of Singapore.
New North South Corridor (NSC) To Further Improve Transportation Links
The North South Corridor (NSC) will be Singapore’s longest Transit Priority Corridor. Targeted to be completed by 2026, it will span 21.5 from the northern region such as Yishun, Sembawang and Woodlands to the city centre and East Coast Parkway. This new corridor will feature dedicated bus lanes, cycling trunk routes and pedestrian paths, to serve public bus commuters, active mobility users and pedestrians.
When completed, it will provide smoother and faster journeys for everyone, whether you are driving or taking public transport. It will also help to alleviate the congestion on the Central Expressway (CTE) and major arterial roads such as Thomson, Marymount Road and Newton. Inadvertently, this will improve the living environment for residents of Kopar At Newton due to the reduced noise and air pollution, while helping Singapore to achieve its car-lite vision.
Kopar At Newton To Benefit From The Novena Master Plan
Health City Novena
Health City NovenaThe Kopar At Newton condo is well-served by many first-class medical facilities nearby in Orchard Road and Novena. These include the following:
- Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre and Hospital
- Paragon Medical Centre
- Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital
- Novena Medical Centre
- Tan Tock Seng Hospital
- Thomson Medical Centre
However, it will get a further boost from the development of an integrated medical hub by 2030 under the Novena Master Plan. Called Health City Novena and a short distance from Kopar At Newton, it will extend beyond healthcare. Besides health services, research and education, there will also be commercial, leisure and public spaces for people to enjoy.
Once Health City Novena is completed, demand for properties around Kopar At Newton is expected to increase due to the inflow of healthcare professionals and personnel from supporting services working there. This will underpin property values in the area.

Kopar At Newton - An Investment Overview
Below is an investment overview of Kopar At Newton.
After examining the factors above, there is no doubt that Kopar At Newton's central and strategic location will be one of its major selling points. As the saying goes, the location creates desirability, desirability creates demand, and demand raises real estate values.
Given its upscale location in District 9 and so close to the Newton MRT station, it is a natural draw for potential tenants. In fact, there is already a strong catchment of tenants around the area and the development of Health City Novena will substantially increase the demand for housing in time to come.
Strong Rental Demand
The Newton/Novena areas have traditionally been popular neighbourhoods. They have attracted strong rental demand due to their central location and easy access to a wide range of amenities. As can be seen, by the Urban Development Authority (URA) rental data below, there has been a healthy number of leases being signed.
Rental Yields
Return On Investment (ROI)
Of course, rental demand is just one key aspect of property investment. What is even more important perhaps, is the rental yield or return on investment (ROI). But how does Kopar At Newton fare in this regard?
Chip Eng Seng's winning bid of 1,192 psf/pr (per sq feet per plot ratio) for this prime piece of real estate at the Government Land Sale (GLS) is relatively low. This compared very favourably to Allgreen's winning bid for the Fourth Avenue site at Bukit Timah at $1,540 psf/pr and Frasers Property's bid for the Jiak Kim Street site off Kim Seng Road at $1,733 psf/pr
Kopar At Newton's land price is also considerably lower than Chancery Court's en-bloc sale of $1,610 psf/pr, a 99-year leasehold site, to Far East.
Below is a sample of transacted prices for Allgreen's Fourth Avenue Residences and Frasers Property's Riviere gathered from the URA.

Transaction Prices of Riviere (click to enlarge)
Therefore, with Kopar At Newton priced at an average of 2,350 psf in such a plump location, it is very competitive vis-a-vis other new property launches recently. For example, One Holland V, Martin Modern and Fourth Avenue have been priced from $2,300 to $3,000 psf. And closer to Kopar At Newton, the Pullman Residences nearby is selling close to $3,000 psf. Although the Pullman Residences is on freehold land compared to Kopar At Newton's 99-year leasehold, the premium for a freehold property over a 99-year leasehold usually ranges from 15% to 25%. In this regards, Kopar At Newton's pricing is very attractive.
With Kopar At Newton's lower prices, rental yields will be higher as tenants pay the same rent regardless of land tenure. In other words, the Kopar At Newton will give astute investors a comparative price and yield advantage. In addition, there is a misconception among many property buyers that a freehold property is a better investment than a leasehold property. This is not always the case, which is highlighted in the article: Singapore Property Investment - 7 Key Factors.

A Brief History of Newton Circus
The Kopar At Newton is locate beside the Newton Circus, which was originally known as Syed Ali Road. But it was renamed in 1914 after assistant municipal engineer Howard Newton (1877–18964). This is to prevent confusion with Syed Alwi Road in Little India where the popular Mustafa Shopping Centre is located.
The Newton Circus was constructed in 1933 with eight converging roads - Bukit Timah Road, Dunearn Road, Newton Road, Keng Lee Road, Kampong Java Road, Bukit Timah Road, Clemenceau Avenue and Scotts Road. Due to the heavy traffic, traffic lights were installed on 6 May 1987 after the “give way to the right” traffic principle was no longer able to manage traffic congestion effectively. They were originally operational only during the rush-hour periods, but were subsequently adjusted to work 24 hours on March 2011 as traffic conditions become increasingly heavy.
Back in the early 1900s, Newton Circus used to be the site of a railway station which was owned by the Malaysian government. Opened in 1903, the railway track stretched from Tank Road (near Clemenceau Avenue) and passed by several places that included Orchard Road and Newton Circus, before ending in Kranji. However, the railway lines in town were removed in the 1930s to make way for new roads in the area.
Fast forward to today, the Newton Circus is a prime location where many high-end landed condos are located. Being close to Orchard Road, properties in the area are very sought-after, whether for investment or own stay.
