Who are the Developers of Hudson Place Residences?
Hudson Place Residences is a joint venture project between three developers: Qingjian Realty, Forsea Holdings, and Hoovasun Holding. The same Qingjian - Forsea partnership was responsible for developing Bloomsbury Residences, the first residential development to be launched in the Media Circle precinct.
- Qingjian Realty: A well-established developer in Singapore's residential property market, it has delivered a broad range of residential projects spanning private condominiums and executive condominiums. Some of these include Jadescape (Shunfu Road), Forett at Bukit Timah, Le Quest (Bukit Batok), Altura EC, and Tenet EC. The group is recognised for its focus on smart home integration and design innovation.
- Forsea Holdings: As a subsidiary of China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), it brings significant international real estate development experience to the consortium. The wider CCCC group's real estate arm has developed over 300 million square feet of real estate assets globally, valued at approximately US$28 billion. In Singapore, Forsea Holdings has co-developed Bloomsbury Residences and Hillock Green in Lentor Central.
- Hoovasun Holding: A Singapore-incorporated private investment firm that primarily positions itself as a strategic minority partner in property development, it has collaborated with Qingjian Realty and Forsea Holdings in several Government Land Sales (GLS) tenders.
What are the Expected Prices for Hudson Place Residences?
The official price list for Hudson Place Residences has not been released at the time of writing, with the launch expected in April 2026.
Nevertheless, based on land cost analysis, the estimated launch price is anticipated to be between $2,400 to $2,500 psf, derived from the site's land cost of $1,037 psf.
For context, Bloomsbury Residences located next to it, was sold at an average price of $2,474 psf during its launch in April 2025.
Since Hudson Place Residences was secured at a lower land cost, there is potential for more competitive pricing. However, due to the current conflict in the Middle East, which has spiked oil and commodity prices, construction and material costs have risen considerably.
This will potentially offset the initial advantage gained from the lower land acquisition cost.
Where is Hudson Place Residences Located?
Hudson Place Residences Location
Hudson Place Residences is located at Media Circle in District 5, specifically within the One-North / Mediapolis subzone of the Queenstown Planning Area.
The site is bounded by Media Circle and Media Walk, and is close to Portsdown Road.
Nearby is Bloomsbury Residences, two additional GLS land parcels yet to be developed, and Infinite Studios - Singapore’s first purpose-built media hub, designed specifically to serve the film, video, and interactive media industries.
The nearest MRT stations are Kent Ridge and One-North on the Circle Line, approximately 1.2 to 1.3 away.
A Brief Overview of One-North and Media Circle
One-North, aka Singapore’s Silicon Valley, is a government-planned innovation hub spanning approximately 200 hectares near Buona Vista, part of the Queenstown planning district.
Developed by JTC Corporation, One-North is home to a concentration of businesses, research institutions, and start-ups across key industries, which include biomedical sciences, infocomm technology, and media and entertainment.
One-North Map & Zoning
The precinct is organised into several zones:
- Biopolis focuses on biomedical research.
- Fusionopolis houses technology and media companies.
- Launchpad is a startup ecosystem providing a collaborative environment for nascent companies, incubators, accelerators, and venture capitalists across various tech sectors.
- Mediapolis is the hub for media production, housing major tenants including the Infinite Studios complex.
Hudson Place Residences is located within the Mediapolis zone of the broader One-North district.
Over the years, the government has progressively incorporated residential components alongside its commercial and research functions, creating a live-work-play environment.
Recent residential launches in and around the precinct include One-North Eden, Blossoms by the Park, The Hill @ One-North, Bloomsbury Residences, and Lyndenwoods. All of them have attracted strong demand from both homebuyers and property investors, attesting to their favourable locational attributes and long-term investment potential.
This is despite the precinct’s lack of an organic residential community feel of more established housing estates – a factor those buying for their own stay may wish to bear in mind.
Transport Connectivity
Public Transport: Hudson Place Residences is not within comfortable walking distance of any MRT stations.
One-North Rider
The nearest stations are Kent Ridge and One-North on the Circle Line, about 1.2-1.3 km away. However, they can be easily accessed by taking public Bus 191 and the One-North Rider. In the future, autonomous self-driving shuttle buses, currently under trial, may offer another alternative.
MRT Connection: The Buona Vista MRT station (an interchange for the Circle/East-West Line) is just 1-2 stops from the One-North and Ken Ridge stations, respectively. This will offer residents direct access to many key destinations such as the Jurong Lake District, the Central Business District and Downtown Singapore. Residents will also benefit from the completion of the entire Circle Line this year, with the Keppel, Cantonment, and Prince Edward stations set to be opened.
Expressway Access: Drivers will benefit from the development’s proximity to the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE), connecting residents to the CBD, Alexandra, and Jurong Lake District with relative ease. The Pan Island Expressway (PIE) is also accessible by a short drive, enhancing connectivity to the rest of the island.
Cycling Infrastructure: The one-north precinct is rapidly evolving into a model of urban mobility with the development of extensive cycling routes, including dedicated paths and secure bike-parking facilities, connecting Mediapolis to the wider district. Coupled with shaded, pedestrian-friendly pathways and the One-North Park connector, these "active mobility" corridors offer residents a sustainable and efficient alternative for short-distance travel and "first-and-last-mile" connectivity.
Shopping Malls, Dining Options and Amenities Nearby
Residents of Hudson Place Residences have access to several shopping and lifestyle destinations within a short drive or public bus ride:
- Geneo: Located approximately 1.07 km away within One-North, it is a mixed-use life sciences hub, featuring advanced labs, offices, F&B, and "work-live-play" serviced apartments.
- Rochester Mall: Approximately 1.5 km away, this lifestyle mall houses several F&B, enrichment centres, and wellness establishments - a popular destination for families in the area.
- The Star Vista: About 1.7 km away, The Star Vista at Buona Vista features a diverse range of retail, dining, and entertainment options, including a CS Fresh supermarket. Its proximity to Buona Vista MRT makes it a convenient shopping destination for residents.
- Holland Village: A short drive away, it is a vibrant lifestyle destination blending bohemian charm with upscale dining, eclectic bars, and a mix of retail shops, along with a hawker centre for affordable local eats.
- Clementi Mall: A family-friendly, integrated suburban mall with direct links to MRT and bus interchange, making it very convenient. It offers a range of fashion, groceries, dining, and health services, along with key anchors like FairPrice Finest, Popular, and the Clementi Public Library.
- Queensway Shopping Centre: A well-known destination is popular for sports equipment, footwear, apparel, and optical shops.
- Anchorpoint Shopping Centre: Located opposite Queensway Shopping Centre and IKEA Alexandra, it offers a mix of retail and dining options, a Koufu food court and CS Supermarket.

Investment Potential of Hudson Place Residences
Although Hudson Place Residences’ investment appeal is strong, anchored by nearby research institutions, MNCs, and a strong rental base of professionals, pricing will be key, especially with the lack of an MRT station within walking distance.
Bloomsbury Residences is a case in point. During its launch in April 2025, it achieved an average price of $2,474 psf. As of March 28, 2026, it is almost 82% sold despite the lack of immediate MRT access and HDB upgraders’ demand within Media Circle.
Given Hudson Place Residences’ (Media Circle Parcel A) lower land cost of $1,037 psf ppr compared to Bloomsbury Residences’ $1,191 psf ppr, there may be potential for a more competitive pricing.
Nevertheless, recent tender outcomes for adjacent parcels - including one with no bids (Media Circle Parcel B) and another rejected for low pricing (long-stay serviced apartments) - reflect cautious developer sentiment for the area. This may prompt the developers of Hudson Place Residences to price their project competitively.
Meanwhile, at the recent land tender for the Dover Drive site on March 26, 2026, it was awarded to Chinese developers Forsea Holdings, Qingjian Realty, and Jianan Capital at a land rate of $1,556 psf ppr - a new GLS benchmark for the Rest of Central Region.
The site is about a 300m walk from the One-North MRT station (Circle Line), and is surrounded by established educational institutions such as Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), Anglo-Chinese Junior College, Fairfield Methodist Primary School, National University of Singapore and INSEAD.
Hence, this makes Hudson Place Residences an attractive choice given its much lower land cost of $1,037 psf ppr, especially for those who are not too concerned about having immediate MRT access.
Greater Southern Waterfront Transformation
Hudson Place Residences may also benefit from its proximity to the Greater Southern Waterfront (GSW) in the long-term.
The relocation of western port terminals will free up about 2,000 hectares for new mixed-use precincts, supported by enhanced transport connectivity, which includes the completion of the Circle Line, with the Keppel, Cantonment, and Prince Edward MRT stations to be opened this year.
While the benefits will only be realised gradually, the transformation of GSW will position District 5 for sustained growth and improved investment appeal over time.
Comparative Market Analysis
Given that Media Circle is an emerging residential precinct, there are no comparable transactions to draw from to assess Hudson Place Residences’ investment potential.
However, we can examine how two nearby developments have performed since their launch - Normanton Park and One-North Eden, launched in January and April 2021, respectively.
The more recent developments such as Blossom by the Park, The Hill @ One-North, and Lyndenwoods are omitted due to a lack of transaction data.
One-North Eden is located approximately 400m from One-North MRT. In contrast, Normanton Park is located about 1.1km from Kent Ridge MRT - a distance broadly comparable to Hudson Place Residences' distance from the nearest MRT.
According to the chart below, the following results are observed:
Average Price Gain (psf) - Normanton Park vs One-North Eden
| Project | No. of Units | Launch Date | Total Gain Since Launch | Average Annualised Gain (Transacted) |
| Normanton Park | 1,840 condos + 22 landed units | January 2021 | 11.98% | 3.23% |
| One-North Eden | 165 | April 2021 | 18.85% | 6.27% |
Based on the transacted data, One-North Eden has delivered stronger performance since launch, achieving an overall average price gain (psf) of 18.85% and an average annualised return of 6.27%, compared to Normanton Park, which recorded an overall average price gain (psf) of 11.98% and an annualised return of 3.23%.
The outperformance of One-North Eden can be attributed to its closer proximity to the One-North MRT station.
That said, Normanton Park’s performance remains relatively stable and respectable, particularly when considering its significantly larger scale (over 1,800 units) and broader buyer profile.
Taken together, the results suggest underlying demand support across both developments catering to various buyer profiles.
Conclusion
Hudson Place Residences will probably attract a niche segment of homebuyers and property investors who prioritise locational convenience, specifically those who work in and around One-North, willing to invest for the long term as the district develops into a live-work-study-play location, with robust rental demand, and a distinctive living environment that sets it apart from conventional housing estates.
Most suitable for:
- Professionals working in One-North, Mediapolis, and nearby business parks
- Owner-occupiers prioritising convenient access to education options for their children
- Long-term investors seeking employment-driven rental demand from high-earning corporate tenants
- Buyers who are willing to ride on the district’s ongoing development
- Homebuyers who appreciate a quiet, low-density environment with reduced footfall compared to mature estates
- Owner-occupiers who prioritise access to green spaces and curated lifestyle nodes
Least suitable for:
- Buyers who prioritise doorstep MRT access
- Buyers who prefer mature estates with established community infrastructure and social vibrancy
- Short-term investors or speculators seeking to flip their properties for a quick profit
- Buyers expecting a fully-equipped residential neighbourhood at TOP
