Hudson Place Residences Price: 3BR Might Start From $2.08M
We broke down the $1,037 land cost into an estimated launch price and stacked it against Bloomsbury, The Hill, ELTA, and LyndenWoods. Total price comparisons — not PSF — and the catch with the same developer owning both sites.

Qingjian paid $1,037 psf ppr for the plot next to their own Bloomsbury Residences — 13% less than what they paid for Bloomsbury. Our formula estimates Hudson Place launching around $2,313 psf, putting 3-bedrooms from approximately $2.08M and 2-bedrooms from $1.32M. The catch: the same developer owns both sites and has no incentive to undercut Bloomsbury's $2,509 psf average. With The Hill trading below its own launch price and 1,200+ units in the Media Circle pipeline, the one-north corridor's absorption capacity faces a real test.

Qingjian Realty just bought the plot next to their own development.
In March 2025, a consortium led by Qingjian Realty and Forsea Holdings placed the top bid for Media Circle Parcel A — the GLS site directly adjacent to their Bloomsbury Residences, which launched in April 2025. The winning bid: $315 million, or $1,037 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).
That is 13% less than the $1,191 psf ppr they paid for the Bloomsbury Residences site in January 2024.
The development has since been named Hudson Place Residences. Two high-rise residential towers. Approximately 325 units. Commercial space on the first storey. An estimated Q2 2026 launch, with the sales gallery reportedly opening in April 2026.
For buyers watching the one-north corridor, this Hudson Place Residences review starts with one number: 13%. A 13% land cost discount against the condo literally next door suggests lower launch pricing — and in a micro-market where Bloomsbury set the $2,474 psf benchmark, even a modest discount could bring 3-bedroom prices below $2.1M.
But there is a structural wrinkle. The same developer owns both sites. Qingjian has no incentive to undercut Bloomsbury, where units are still selling. The pricing strategy for Hudson Place Residences will be calibrated to protect Bloomsbury's valuation while still attracting buyers to the newer project.
This is a GLS analysis — floor plans and confirmed pricing are not available yet. We cover what the land cost signals about Hudson Place Residences price expectations, what our pricing formula estimates, what the competition looks like, and who should be paying attention when the showflat opens.
How We Review: The QPE Framework

Every review on this site runs through our QPE framework — Quality, Price, Exit.
Quality covers developer track record, land size, layouts, MRT access, views, and facilities. Price examines total price (not psf) and how it compares against what the market has tested — is there a price gap, or are you paying above proven territory? Exit asks who buys from you when it is time to sell, what the demand pool looks like, and what competing supply exists at resale.
All three need to check out. If one fails, you need to know which one — and why.
Hudson Place Residences GLS: The Land at Media Circle
Media Circle Parcel A went to tender under the Confirmed List of the 2H2024 Government Land Sales programme. The tender closed on March 4, 2025, drawing just three bids — a modest level of interest that signals developer caution toward this micro-market.
| Rank | Bidder | Total Bid | Land Rate (psf ppr) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Qingjian Realty + Forsea Holdings + Hoovasun Holding | $315,000,000 | $1,037 |
| 2 | EL Development | $298,000,000 | $981 |
| 3 | SingHaiyi Group | $295,000,000 | $971 |
The winning bid sat 5.7% above EL Development in second place. Not a runaway victory — and the tight clustering of all three bids suggests developers broadly agreed on a narrow range for what this land is worth.
Hudson Place Residences site specifications:
| Detail | Data |
|---|---|
| Location | Media Circle (Parcel A), one-north |
| Site area | 82,125 sqft / 7,630 sqm |
| Maximum GFA | 303,865 sqft |
| Plot ratio | 3.7 |
| Estimated units | ~325 |
| Tenure | 99-year leasehold |
| Zoning | Residential with commercial at 1st storey |
| Expected TOP | 2030 |
The commercial component at the first storey is worth watching. Media Circle currently has limited everyday amenities — no neighbourhood coffee shops, no convenience stores, no wet market within easy walking distance. Bloomsbury Residences is addressing part of this with Bloomsbury Shoppes (under construction), and Hudson Place's ground-floor commercial space could add another node of daily convenience for residents and the surrounding workforce.
Two towers, 325 units. By new launch standards, the Hudson Place condo is a mid-sized development — large enough for a proper pool and gym setup, compact enough that monthly maintenance fees should stay reasonable.
The land sits directly south of the Bloomsbury Residences site, bounded by Media Circle road and adjacent to Infinite Studios. From the plot, Mediapolis is a short walk northwest, and the broader one-north employment cluster — Biopolis, Fusionopolis, and the university research campuses — stretches further north and east.
Demand in one-north has been driven by the concentration of research, media, and technology jobs — and it is this employment base that every new launch in the area is betting on.
Hudson Place Residences Price: What the $1,037 Land Cost Signals
Here is where the land cost becomes a number you can use.
We use a standardised GLS pricing formula to estimate launch pricing from land cost:
Hudson Place Residences — GLS Pricing Formula
| Land cost | $1,037 psf ppr |
| + 72% development costs | $1,784 |
| + 8% harmonised costs | $1,929 |
| + 20% margin | $2,313 psf |
Shortcut: land cost x 2.23 = estimated launch PSF. Breakeven at $1,929 psf.
Developer breakeven sits around $1,929 psf. Our estimated launch PSF — with a standard 20% margin — comes to approximately $2,313 psf.
Knight Frank's Leonard Tay independently estimated starting prices from $2,300 psf (EdgeProp, March 2025), landing within 1% of our formula output. When two different methodologies converge on the same number, the estimate carries more weight.
What that means in total price — our Hudson Place Residences price estimate (using Bloomsbury unit sizes as proxy, since the same developer typically repeats successful unit formats):
| Unit Type | Est. Size (sqft) | At $2,313 psf | At $2,400 psf (higher floors) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2BR | 570 | $1.32M | $1.37M |
| 2BR Premium | 650 | $1.50M | $1.56M |
| 2BR + Study | 690 | $1.60M | $1.66M |
| 3BR | 900 | $2.08M | $2.16M |
| 3BR Premium | 975 | $2.26M | $2.34M |
| 4BR + Study | 1,175 | $2.72M | $2.82M |
These are estimates based on our formula and Bloomsbury's unit mix — not confirmed pricing. Actual unit sizes and prices could differ when Hudson Place Residences launches.
The Bloomsbury comparison is the key reference point. Bloomsbury Residences launched at $2,300-$2,600 psf, with early buyers who secured units at $2,300-$2,400 psf getting particularly strong entry prices. The project currently transacts at approximately $2,509 psf on average. Recent sales show where prices have settled: a 990 sqft unit sold at $2,506,000 ($2,531 psf) and a 1,098 sqft unit sold at $2,873,000 ($2,617 psf). The highest recorded sale hit $2,716 psf for a 689 sqft unit in November 2025. If Hudson Place launches at $2,313 psf — our formula estimate — that represents a 6.5% discount to Bloomsbury's launch average.
| Bloomsbury Residences | Hudson Place (Est.) | Difference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Land cost (psf ppr) | $1,191 | $1,037 | -12.9% |
| Launch PSF | $2,474 (actual avg) | ~$2,313 (formula) | -6.5% |
| 2BR from | $1.37M | ~$1.32M | -$50K |
| 3BR from | $2.17M | ~$2.08M | -$90K |
| 4BR from | $2.87M | ~$2.72M | -$150K |
Notice the gap compression. A 12.9% land cost difference translates to roughly a 6-7% launch price difference. Developers absorb part of the land cost saving into their margins rather than passing it all through to buyers. And since the same consortium built both projects, they have every reason to keep Hudson Place Residences pricing close enough to Bloomsbury that existing Bloomsbury owners do not feel short-changed.
Our expectation: Hudson Place Residences could launch between $2,300 and $2,400 psf, with the headline "starting from" figure near $2,300 for the smallest 2BR on the lowest floor. Average transacted PSF could settle higher, around $2,350-$2,450, once floor premiums and unit mix are factored in.
The Developer Behind Hudson Place: Qingjian's Media Circle Play
Qingjian Realty is not new to Media Circle. With the Hudson Place Residences site awarded, they now control two adjacent residential plots on the same street — a rare level of influence over supply and pricing in a single micro-market.
Their track record with Forsea Holdings:
| Project | Location | Land Cost | Units | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bloomsbury Residences | Media Circle | $1,191 psf ppr | 358 | Launched Apr 2025, 90 units sold at launch (25%) |
| Hudson Place Residences | Media Circle (adjacent) | $1,037 psf ppr | 325 | Expected launch Q2 2026 |
| EC at Jalan Loyang Besar | Pasir Ris | $729 psf ppr | ~710 | Awarded Aug 2024 |
Qingjian is also the lead developer on the Dover Drive GLS site — a separate JV with CCCC and Jianan Capital, further up the one-north corridor at Buona Vista. That site's land cost came in at $1,556 psf ppr, a record for the area, with an estimated launch PSF above $3,400.
Between Bloomsbury (358 units), Hudson Place (325 units), and Dover Drive (~625 units), Qingjian is building over 1,300 new homes in the District 5 corridor. No other developer has that kind of footprint in this part of Singapore right now.
Du Dexiang, managing director of Qingjian Realty, said after winning the Hudson Place tender: "We are confident in the upcoming transformation of Media Circle, supported by a well-designed master plan and the government's continued investment in one-north precinct as announced in the 2025 budget." Forsea Holdings director Wang Xin described one-north as "akin to Singapore's Silicon Valley." (EdgeProp, March 2025)
For Hudson Place Residences buyers, the upside of a repeat developer is predictability. Bloomsbury gives a direct preview of what Qingjian delivers: their layout design philosophy, finishes standard, and facility planning. If Bloomsbury's unit sizes and room configurations translate to Hudson Place — and with the same developer-architect team, they likely will — buyers can walk into the Bloomsbury showflat and get a reasonable preview of what to expect.
Hudson Place Residences floor plans are not available yet. Based on Bloomsbury's unit mix — no 1-bedrooms, 2BR starting at 568 sqft, 3BR at 900 sqft (Bloomsbury Residences factsheet) — Hudson Place could follow a similar product strategy, skewing toward larger units that serve own-stay upgraders and longer-term investors rather than shoebox flippers. We will update this review with a full floor plan analysis when the sales kit drops.
Hudson Place Residences Location: One-North's Employment-Led Address
Hudson Place Residences sits inside Singapore's designated innovation corridor. One-north is not a typical residential neighbourhood — it is a curated employment cluster housing research institutions, media companies, technology firms, and the National University Hospital ecosystem. For anyone asking whether the Hudson Place condo is worth considering, the location story starts with jobs, not lifestyle.
MRT access:
- One-North MRT (CC23): Approximately 1.0-1.1 km walking distance via Media Circle road. That is outside comfortable doorstep MRT range (typically under 500m). Residents are looking at a 12-15 minute walk or a short bus ride.
- Buona Vista MRT (EW21/CC22): Approximately 1.2 km. An interchange station connecting the East-West and Circle lines, with access to Star Vista mall — but the additional distance makes it a bus-dependent connection for most.
This is the honest trade-off at Hudson Place Residences. You are not buying MRT adjacency. The project is positioned as a work-adjacent address — walking distance to Mediapolis and Infinite Studios, a manageable commute to Biopolis and Fusionopolis, but a bus or drive to the nearest MRT station.
Key employment and research nodes near Hudson Place Residences:
| Destination | What Is There | Approx. Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Mediapolis | Media, entertainment, and technology companies | ~300m |
| Infinite Studios | Film and production facilities | ~200m |
| Biopolis | Biomedical research hub (A*STAR institutes) | ~800m |
| Fusionopolis | Technology and engineering hub | ~900m |
| NUH / NUS | National University Hospital, university campus | ~1.5 km |
| INSEAD / ESSEC | International business schools | ~1 km |
Daily amenities:
The immediate surroundings are still developing. Media Circle was historically an industrial-media zone, and residential amenities are arriving alongside the new housing. Bloomsbury Shoppes (under construction) will add commercial space next door. The nearest established retail hub is Star Vista and The Metropolis near Buona Vista MRT, both approximately 1.2-1.5 km away.
Grocery runs, dining out, and daily errands currently require a short drive or bus ride. This will improve as the Media Circle residential cluster matures and commercial spaces at both Bloomsbury and Hudson Place come online — but for the first few years after TOP, expect limited walkable retail compared to established neighbourhoods.
Schools:
Fairfield Methodist Primary School is within the broader Queenstown area, but this is not a neighbourhood where school proximity drives purchases — the tenant and buyer pool skews toward professionals and researchers, not young families optimising for PSLE.
Character of the neighbourhood:
One-north has a distinctive feel that separates it from most Singapore residential districts. The black-and-white colonial bungalows along Portsdown Road, the research campus architecture, the startups, laboratories, and media production houses — it reads closer to a university town than a typical HDB-upgraded corridor. If your daily life revolves around the one-north cluster, Hudson Place Residences is arguably one of the most convenient new-build addresses available. If it does not, you are paying for proximity to someone else's workplace.
Media Circle Supply Pipeline: What Is Coming
Hudson Place Residences does not exist in isolation. Media Circle has multiple GLS parcels at various stages of development, and the total incoming supply will shape both rental demand and exit liquidity for every project in this cluster.
Confirmed and upcoming residential supply near Hudson Place Residences:
| Site | Status | Est. Units | Tenure | Key Detail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bloomsbury Residences | Launched Apr 2025 | 358 | 99 years | 90 units sold at launch, remaining units being marketed |
| Hudson Place Residences (Parcel A) | Awarded Mar 2025 | ~325 | 99 years | Expected launch Q2 2026 |
| Media Circle Parcel B | Tender closing Apr 29, 2025 | ~500 | 99 years | Adjacent to Parcel A, larger site (107,936 sqft) |
| Media Circle Reserve List (1H2025) | Not yet triggered | ~520 | 60 years | Long-stay serviced apartments only, not condos for sale |
If Parcel B gets awarded and developed, Media Circle alone could see over 1,200 new private homes within a few years — in a precinct where the existing residential stock sits under 1,000 units. That is a significant supply injection into a small micro-market.
The 60-year leasehold serviced apartment site on the Reserve List is a different product (long-stay serviced apartments, not units for sale), but it adds to the overall housing supply in the area and could compete for the same tenant pool that Hudson Place investors are targeting.
For Hudson Place Residences buyers, the question is whether one-north's employment base is deep enough to absorb this supply without softening rents or resale values. The one-north precinct employs an estimated 50,000+ workers across its research, media, and technology hubs. The government continues to invest in the corridor — the 2025 Budget reaffirmed one-north's status as a priority innovation district, and URA's master plan signals continued intensification rather than a plateau.
One structural advantage Hudson Place has: Qingjian controls pricing for both Bloomsbury and Hudson Place. They have no interest in flooding the market — expect a calibrated launch strategy that spaces out sales across both projects rather than competing with themselves.
Hudson Place Residences vs Bloomsbury, The Hill, and ELTA
Buyers in the $1.3M-$3M range in District 5 are cross-shopping a specific set of projects. Here is how Hudson Place Residences stacks up against the most relevant competition — and what the competition editorials are saying.
Bloomsbury Residences — The Direct Neighbour
Bloomsbury is the most direct comparison for Hudson Place Residences. Same developer, same street, launched one year earlier.
| Metric | Bloomsbury Residences | Hudson Place (Est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Land cost (psf ppr) | $1,191 | $1,037 |
| Total units | 358 | ~325 |
| Launch PSF (avg) | $2,474 | ~$2,313 (formula) |
| Current avg PSF (Q1 2026) | $2,509 | Not launched |
| Highest transacted | $2,716 psf (689 sqft, Nov 2025) | N/A |
| 2BR from | $1.37M (568 sqft) | ~$1.32M (est.) |
| 3BR from | $2.17M (900 sqft) | ~$2.08M (est.) |
| 4BR from | $2.87M (1,175 sqft) | ~$2.72M (est.) |
| MRT distance | ~800m to One-North MRT | ~1.0-1.1 km to One-North MRT |
Bloomsbury has a slight location edge — it sits closer to One-North MRT and will have Bloomsbury Shoppes at its doorstep. Hudson Place's pitch is the lower entry price. Whether the estimated $90K saving on a 3BR (roughly 4%) is enough to offset the slightly longer walk and later completion is the buyer's judgment call.
Bloomsbury's Q1 2026 median PSF of $2,549 suggests prices have firmed since launch. That could give Qingjian confidence to price Hudson Place closer to $2,400 than $2,300 — narrowing the gap buyers are hoping for.
The Hill @ One-North — What Happens When Pricing Stretches
The Hill @ One-North launched in April 2024 at Slim Barracks Rise, closer to One-North MRT than either Bloomsbury or Hudson Place, at an average of $2,595 psf. It sold just 30.3% at launch — one of the weakest new launch performances of 2024.
Since then, resale transactions have settled around $2,466 psf on average — below its own launch price (EdgeProp). Some units have transacted as low as $2,073 psf (September 2025, a 947 sqft 3BR).
| Metric | The Hill @ One-North | Hudson Place (Est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Land cost (psf ppr) | $1,210 | $1,037 |
| Launch PSF (avg) | $2,595 | ~$2,313 |
| Current avg PSF | $2,466 | N/A |
| Total units | ~142 | ~325 |
| MRT proximity | Closer to One-North MRT | ~1.0-1.1 km |
The Hill's experience is a data point for anyone evaluating Hudson Place Residences. Strong land cost, decent MRT proximity, reputable one-north address — and yet prices moved backward after launch. Hudson Place's lower land cost provides more pricing room, but the underlying demand question is the same: is the one-north employment cluster generating enough residential buying interest to support multiple new launches above $2,300 psf?
ELTA — The Family-Oriented Alternative in District 5
ELTA launched in February 2025 at Clementi Avenue 1, one MRT stop from Buona Vista on the East-West Line. Different positioning entirely — family-oriented, MRT-fronting, 501 units — but it sits in the same District 5 budget range that Hudson Place Residences targets.
ELTA sold 65% at launch at an average of $2,537 psf (99.co). Starting prices: 1BR+Study from $1.16M (506 sqft), with 3BR pricing in the high $1.9M to mid-$2M range.
For buyers deciding between the two: ELTA offers MRT adjacency, a larger project scale, and a family-friendly Clementi address backed by strong school catchments. Hudson Place offers a later TOP (2030), a yield-oriented one-north address, and a potentially lower 3BR entry price. They serve different lifestyles — ELTA is for families commuting across Singapore, Hudson Place is for professionals whose daily life centres on the one-north cluster.
LyndenWoods — The Pre-Harmonised Benchmark
LyndenWoods is the other one-north comparison buyers should know about. Located closer to the MRT than Hudson Place, LyndenWoods is a pre-harmonised project — approved before the June 2023 harmonisation rules that changed how developers calculate unit sizes. That matters because pre-harmonised units tend to have different efficiency profiles compared to newer projects like Bloomsbury and Hudson Place.
LyndenWoods launched at an average of $2,200-$2,300 psf and has since seen transactions climb into the $2,400-$2,600 range. Recent transaction data:
| Date | Size (sqft) | Price | PSF |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 2025 | 1,292 | $2,935,000 | $2,272 |
| Oct 2025 | 1,292 | $2,971,000 | $2,356 |
| Recent | 1,292 | $3,043,000 | ~$2,355 |
| Average | 1,023 | — | $2,414 |
The highest recorded transaction at LyndenWoods sits around $2,600 psf.
Here is the comparison that matters — and it is not a PSF comparison.
Total Price Over PSF: The One-North Lesson
In October 2025, a 1,292 sqft unit at LyndenWoods sold for $2,971,000 at $2,356 psf. Last month, a 1,098 sqft unit at Bloomsbury sold for $2,873,000 at $2,617 psf.
At first glance, LyndenWoods looks "cheaper" — $2,356 psf versus $2,617 psf is a $261 per square foot difference. But flip to total price and the picture reverses: the LyndenWoods unit cost $98,000 more than the Bloomsbury unit.
The buyer who paid $2.97M for LyndenWoods got a bigger unit, yes — but they also paid more money. And Bloomsbury is a newer, post-harmonised project. For anyone comparing Hudson Place Residences against the one-north field, PSF alone will mislead you. Total price determines what actually leaves your bank account, what your loan quantum looks like, and what your monthly mortgage costs.
This is exactly why we lead with price, not PSF, in every review on this site.
Even at $2,700 psf — what would feel expensive on a PSF basis — a Hudson Place Residences 3BR at ~1,098 sqft would cost approximately $2.96M. That is still below the last few LyndenWoods transactions for a 1,292 sqft unit at $3,043,000. The PSF number is higher, but the cheque you write is smaller.
What the Competition Editorials Are Saying
NewLaunchesReview published the most detailed editorial coverage of Hudson Place Residences to date — a full review and separate price guide. Their positioning: "yield-first, work-adjacent." A development designed for investors targeting the one-north rental pool rather than families or lifestyle buyers.
Their key arguments:
- Employment adjacency over MRT adjacency — the primary value proposition is walking distance to Mediapolis, Biopolis, and Fusionopolis, not train connectivity
- Narrow but repeatable buyer pool — resale demand would be structurally specialised, driven by rental yields rather than broad mass-market appeal
- Pricing must stay competitive — if Hudson Place prices too close to MRT-fronting alternatives, the rental-yield logic weakens
We broadly agree with this read. Where we add nuance:
The same-developer dynamic changes the pricing calculus. NewLaunchesReview flags the lower land cost but does not fully explore what it means that Qingjian owns both adjacent sites. The developer will price Hudson Place to complement Bloomsbury, not cannibalise it. Expect strategic differentiation — perhaps different unit emphasis, different buyer targeting — rather than a pure price undercut.
The supply pipeline deserves more weight. With Parcel B (up to 500 units) closing its tender in April 2025, and the Reserve List serviced apartment site (520 units) available for activation, Media Circle could absorb over 1,700 new residential and serviced apartment units. That volume of supply in a micro-market this small has not been stress-tested.
The Hill's underperformance is more than context — it is evidence. At $2,595 psf launch pricing, The Hill has seen its resale prices fall below its own launch average. Any pricing analysis for Hudson Place needs to reckon with the fact that the one-north corridor has already produced a project that did not hold its launch price. Is Hudson Place Residences worth buying at $2,300+ psf when a nearby one-north project could not sustain $2,595? The land cost difference provides some cushion, but the demand question remains open.
Stacked Homes has not published a dedicated Hudson Place Residences review as of this writing — their one-north coverage has focused on the Media Circle Parcel B tender dynamics. 99.co has listing pages but no editorial analysis. For buyers doing due diligence, substantive editorial coverage of this project remains thin.
Who Should Buy Hudson Place Residences — And Who Should Think Twice
Floor plans and confirmed pricing are not out yet, so buyer profile matching is preliminary. Based on what we know about the land, location, and the developer's likely product strategy:
Investors targeting one-north rental demand are the primary audience for Hudson Place Residences. The tenant pool is anchored by Mediapolis, Biopolis, Fusionopolis, NUH, INSEAD, ESSEC, and NUS — institutions that generate recurring demand for modern rental units near the workplace. Lee Sze Teck of Huttons Asia noted "a strong pool of quality tenants given the high proportion of foreigners working in one-north and Science Park" (EdgeProp, March 2025). If rental yields hold at 3.5-4% gross (typical for new launches in this PSF range), a 2BR at $1.32M generating $3,800-$4,400 per month in rent could work. Verify these rental assumptions against Bloomsbury's actual achieved rents when that data becomes available.
Young professionals and DINK (dual-income, no kids) couples working in the one-north corridor could treat Hudson Place as a live-work base. Low-maintenance, new-build quality, walking distance to the office, and a lower entry price than Bloomsbury next door. If you do not need MRT connectivity because your daily commute is a 10-minute walk to Mediapolis, the distance from the train station matters less.
Academic and medical professionals at NUH, NUS, or the research campuses could consider own-stay if they value proximity to work over a more established residential neighbourhood. Quieter surroundings than the Buona Vista interchange area, newer than the existing one-north housing stock.
Who should think twice before buying Hudson Place Residences
Families expecting school proximity to drive resale value. School is not a concern here — and that is not a negative. One-north's buyer and tenant pool is dominated by professionals, researchers, and expats working in the corridor. The people buying or renting at Hudson Place are not choosing based on 1km primary school catchment. When you eventually sell, your exit buyer is also not choosing based on schools. In areas where schools do not drive demand, obsessing over school proximity is solving the wrong problem. Focus on what actually moves the needle for this micro-market — employment density, rental yield, and MRT access. For more on how we evaluate what matters at each project, see our QPE framework.
Buyers who rely on MRT for daily commuting. If your workplace is not in one-north and you depend on the train for daily travel, the 1.0-1.1 km walk to One-North MRT is a real friction point. Projects like ELTA or developments near Buona Vista interchange serve commuters more directly.
Buyers expecting strong price appreciation. The Hill's track record — launching at $2,595 psf and now trading below that — suggests the one-north corridor rewards steady rental yield more than capital gains. If you are buying for price growth rather than rental income, the one-north corridor has not proven that thesis yet.
Buyers uncomfortable with supply concentration. With Parcel B and the serviced apartment site potentially adding 1,000+ more units to Media Circle alone, the rental market could face internal competition within 3-5 years. If your investment thesis depends on rental scarcity in this cluster, that assumption needs stress-testing against the pipeline.
Should You Buy Hudson Place Residences? Not Enough Data Yet
Downside risk: Not rated.
This is a GLS analysis. Floor plans are not available, confirmed pricing has not been released, and the unit mix is unconfirmed. We do not rate downside risk until we can assess all three QPE dimensions — Quality, Price, and Exit — with actual product data.
What the numbers suggest so far:
The land cost arithmetic is favourable. At $1,037 psf ppr — 13% below Bloomsbury next door — Hudson Place Residences has structural room to price below the one-north benchmark. Our formula estimates launch pricing around $2,313 psf, putting a 3BR at approximately $2.08M. If that holds, it would represent one of the lower entry points for a new-build 3BR in the one-north belt.
What we still need before rating Hudson Place Residences:
- Floor plans. Room sizes, layout efficiency, kitchen configuration — these determine whether Hudson Place is a genuine alternative to Bloomsbury or a compromised product at a lower price point
- Confirmed pricing and unit mix. Qingjian may choose a different unit size strategy from Bloomsbury. Smaller units at lower total prices to target investors? Or larger units chasing a different buyer segment?
- Parcel B tender results. If another developer wins Parcel B at a higher land cost, Hudson Place's pricing position strengthens. If Parcel B draws weak interest, it raises questions about broader developer confidence in the Media Circle cluster
- Bloomsbury's ongoing sell-through. How quickly Bloomsbury moves its remaining units over the next 6-12 months will signal the real depth of demand for Media Circle addresses at $2,400-$2,500 psf
Where the entry price needs to land:
Based on recent transactions at both Bloomsbury and LyndenWoods, a good entry into the one-north area sits at approximately $2,300-$2,500 psf for a 3BR. In total price terms:
- A ~904 sqft 3BR at that range: approximately $2,080,000-$2,260,000
- A ~1,098 sqft 3BR at that range: approximately $2,526,000-$2,745,000
These numbers are supported by actual transactions. Bloomsbury's recent 990 sqft at $2,506,000 ($2,531 psf) and LyndenWoods' 1,292 sqft units at $2.9M-$3.0M bracket the range. If Hudson Place Residences launches within this band, the price is anchored to proven demand. Above $2,700 psf, you start competing in the upper end of the one-north range — still defensible by the data (even at $2,700 psf, a 1,098 sqft 3BR at ~$2.96M undercuts LyndenWoods' latest $3,043,000), but the margin for error shrinks.
One strategy to watch: developers typically set their guide price at the lowest floor, then load premiums into higher floors and larger units. If Qingjian's guide price for Hudson Place starts at $2,300 psf, that could be the ground-floor 2BR price — with average transacted PSF settling closer to $2,400-$2,500 once the full unit spread is accounted for. Given that Bloomsbury still has remaining units to sell, Qingjian may position Hudson Place's guide price attractively to draw foot traffic to the showflat, knowing the headline "from $2,300 psf" is a powerful draw even if the average buyer ends up paying more.
The question for buyers considering Hudson Place Residences:
Is the estimated $90K-$150K saving over Bloomsbury (across unit types) enough to justify a slightly longer MRT walk and a later TOP date? That is a personal calculation — not one we can make from GLS data alone.

Hudson Place Residences — Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy Hudson Place Residences?
Too early to judge. Floor plans and confirmed pricing are not out yet. The land cost is 13% cheaper than Bloomsbury next door, which could translate to lower launch prices — but the same developer controls both sites.
What is the expected price of Hudson Place Residences?
Based on the $1,037 psf ppr land cost, we estimate launch pricing around $2,300-$2,350 psf. That puts a 2BR from approximately $1.32M and a 3BR from $2.08M.
When does Hudson Place Residences launch?
Expected Q2 2026. The sales gallery is reportedly opening in April 2026.
Is Hudson Place Residences near MRT?
It is approximately 1.0-1.1 km from One-North MRT on the Circle Line — outside doorstep MRT range. Buona Vista MRT interchange is about 1.2 km away.
Hudson Place Residences vs Bloomsbury Residences — which is better?
They share the same developer and sit side by side on Media Circle. Bloomsbury launched at $2,474 psf average. Hudson Place's lower land cost suggests launch pricing around $2,300-$2,350 psf — roughly $90K less for a comparable 3BR. The trade-off: Bloomsbury is closer to the upcoming Bloomsbury Shoppes commercial node.
Who is the developer of Hudson Place Residences?
Qingjian Realty and Forsea Holdings, with Hoovasun Holding as a minority investor. The same consortium behind Bloomsbury Residences next door.
How many units does Hudson Place Residences have?
