AMO Residence

Another condo that’s relatively close to an MRT station would be AMO Residence. Launched back in July 2022, AMO Residence generated a fair bit of buzz in the property market because it was the first condo launch in Ang Mo Kio since 2014. In fact, it was so popular that it sold out 98% of units on the very first day of launch.
According to reports, the selling price of units on launch day averaged about $2,100 psf. This also set a new record in terms of launch prices, for properties in the Outside Central Region (OCR). AMO Residence also features 5-bedroom units, which isn’t very common in condo projects today. Overall, there are many things to like about AMO Residence, and we haven’t even gotten to the perks of its location yet.
Speaking of which, the condo is actually not too far away from 2 MRT stations: Mayflower and Bright Hill, both of which are adjacent stations along the Thomson-East Coast Line. Homebuyers were probably also attracted to the proximity of reputable schools like Ai Tong Primary and CHIJ St Nicholas, and that Ang Mo Kio is a beloved estate that many Singaporeans would love to live in.
Indicative prices: Upwards of $2,118 psf

Marina One Residences

If you’ve always wanted to live in close proximity to the hustle and bustle of the city, you probably can’t get any better than Marina One Residences.
Located right at the heart of Marina Bay and next to places like Lau Pa Sat, Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay, Marina One Residences is just about as opulent and luxurious as you can get for a residential project. It was completed in 2018, and so while it isn’t exactly new, it is still a fairly young project.
Naturally, you can expect prices to be out of reach for most people, and only those with very deep pockets can afford units here. According to online reports, the psf price for units climbed as high as $3,490, although the average price has since tapered down to just under $2,400 psf in the last 6 months.
In terms of proximity to MRT, the closest MRT stations would be Marina Bay and Downtown, which is just a really short walk away. The good thing though, is that these stations give you access to 4MRT lines, which is very convenient for zipping around and across Singapore.
Indicative prices: $1,981 – $3,300 psf
TOP: Completed in 2018
Nearest MRT station: Marina Bay, Downtown

The Reef at Kings Dock
Another dream for many Singaporeans is being able to experience waterfront living, which oddly enough, isn’t that common despite Singapore being an island nation. However, the good news is that as the government begins to develop the Greater Southern Waterfront, more and more residential properties will sprout up, granting more options for a home by the waters.
One such property is The Reef at King’s Dock, a 99-year leasehold condo located at Keppel Bay which sold about 65% of its units on launch day with an average price of about $2,330 psf.
If you’re keen to find out more and possibly purchase a unit, you might be interested to know that the developer is offering some discounts for certain units. For instance, 3-bedders are seeing discounts of up to $60,000.

- There are a total of 270 units on offer and is expected to TOP in Q3 2026.

Pasir Ris 8

Moving away from the South and to the East, one of the hottest condo launches here in recent years has to be Pasir Ris 8. Considering that over 96% of its units have already been snapped up – 85% of them sold on launch day back in July 2021 – it seems that many people are firmly on board the East Side Best Side wagon.
There are many positives to speak about Pasir Ris 8. For one, the condo will be a main feature of the newly-revamped Pasir Ris New Town. It’ll also be part of the upcoming Pasir Ris Mall which has an integrated transport hub, so a bus interchange and Pasir Ris MRT Station will be just minutes away on foot.
The average selling price of a unit ranges from $1,596 – $2,258 psf. To give you a sense of how much that is in terms of the total selling price, a 4-bedder unit we found is listed online for just over $2.34M.
Indicative prices: $1,596 – $2,258 psf

Sceneca Residence
Image credit: Singapore Real Estate
Sceneca Residence was the first condo launch of 2023, and during its opening weekend in January, sold 60% of its units, the majority of which were 1-bedder and 2-bedder units. The average transacted price was around $2,072 psf, or around $958K for a 1-bedroom unit and $1.33M for a 2-bedroom unit.
Just like Pasir Ris 8, Sceneca Residence will feature a handful of commercial spaces on the lower floors, and the residences will be built on top of that. This sets Seneca Residence apart from other developments that are purely residential, mainly because of the added convenience of having things like F&B joints, grocery stores, and other amenities just downstairs. The condo will also be just opposite the existing Tanah Merah MRT station, which is great as it’ll give you access to the East-West Line.
Indicative prices: $1,896 – $2,155 psf

Bartley Vue

Moving away from the fringes of the East and heading closer to central Singapore is Bartley Vue which was launched in Aug 2021. It is a significantly smaller development, with only 115 fully-fitted residential units.
Apart from being within walking distance of Bartley MRT, Bartley Vue’s location is also very convenient in that it has great connectivity to major highways like the PIE, KPE and CTE. Being at the fringes of the CBD, residents will be able to easily zip to the city either by public transport or by car!

Grand Dunman

If waterfront living ranks high on your list but you don’t want to stay in the South of Singapore, then Grand Dunman might just be up your alley. Located along Dunman Road and next to the Singapore River, Grand Dunman is a newly-launched condo that just had its sales preview in July 2023.
The condo is located just under 300m from the Dakota MRT station, which is just a really short walk away. Dakota sits on the Circle Line, so that’ll mean easy access to places like Dhoby Ghaut and even Marina Bay. There’ll also be another nearby MRT station coming up in the future: Katong Park, which sits along the Thomson-East Coast Line.
Otherwise, you’ll also be spoilt for choice with the many malls not too far away, the likes of which include Paya Lebar Quarter, KINEX, Parkway Parade, and Kallang Wave Mall.

While the condo is not too far away from Hillview MRT station, it’s a slightly further walk away compared to the others listed in this article.

Canninghill Piers

Back in 2021, what was probably the condo launch of the year was Canninghill Piers. In case you’re unfamiliar, Canninghill Piers is a sprawling 696-unit 99-year leasehold condominium project, sitting on the former site of Liang Court.
The condo was launched in November 2021, selling out 77% of units on its first day at an average selling price of $3,000 psf, making it one of the most expensive properties in recent history.
For starters, the location of Canninghill Piers is undoubtedly its main highlight. It’s located right in the heart of Clarke Quay so the vibrant nightlife is quite literally at your doorstep. If you’re familiar with the area, you’ll know that it is right next to Fort Canning, and just across the road from The Central.
In terms of proximity to MRT stations, the condo is right next to Fort Canning MRT station, which is along the Downtown Line and just about a 1-minute walk away. There is also Clarke Quay MRT station, which is just slightly further out at a 2-3 minute walk. The project is set to TOP in phases, starting from 2024 onwards.

Uptown at Farrer

Another condo in Central Singapore worth checking out is Uptown at Farrer. Just as its name suggests, the property is situated in the Farrer Park precinct. The condo was completed in 2021, making it a fairly new property.
One of the big pluses of Uptown at Farrer is that it is within walking distance from the existing Farrer Park MRT, which serves the North-East Line. In addition, you’re also right next to shopping places like City Square Mall and the 24/7 Mustafa Centre, so all your shopping and grocery needs are easily covered. The area is also chock-full of eateries that often open till the wee hours of the morning, meaning all your late-night hunger pangs can easily be satisfied at just a short walk away.
A quick check online shows that there are some units being listed for sale. For example, a 2-bedder unit is being listed for $1.33M, and a significantly larger 5-bedroom unit at $3.99M. Definitely worth considering if you’re looking to stay at the fringes of the city and Orchard Road shopping belt.

Leedon Green

If your preference is to stay in a brand-new development in the highly-coveted prime District 10, then Leedon Green might fit the bill. It’s currently in its final stages of construction and slated to TOP next year with 638 freehold units along Farrer Road. Fun fact: the site used to belong to an older condo called Tulip Garden, which went en bloc in 2018.
The closest MRT station to Leedon Green is Farrer Road MRT, which is about an 8-10 minute walk away. There’s also Holland Village MRT, but it’s a significantly further walk, so we’d recommend taking a bus there instead.
Because of its excellent location and strong potential for a decent profit in the years to come, most of Leedon Green’s units have already been snapped up, save for a small handful of units. Don’t expect prices to come cheap though: the average selling price on launch weekend was about $2,838 psf, and the highest it went to was $3,387 psf.
Indicative prices: $2,319 – $3,468 psf
