“Media Circle… no MRT at doorstep… is it worth it?”
When people first hear about Hudson Place, the reaction is usually the same.
But if you understand the government’s long-term plan, One-North might finally get the recognition it deserves.
And honestly — Hudson Place could be at the forefront of this next phase.
It starts with one simple question — is there real demand here?
Before we talk about future potential, let’s look at what’s already happening.
Recent launches within the One-North have seen strong take-up rates — Bloomsbury Residences (82%) & LyndenWoods (99%).
These are not small boutique projects.
These are developments where buyers are committing with real money, despite the same “concerns” most people initially have.
So what does that tell us?
👉 Buyers are already comfortable with this location
👉 Demand is already present — not something we need to hope for
And once demand is proven…
The question naturally evolves into:
👉 “At what price will people continue buying here?”
And this is where the government’s role becomes important
Because demand alone is not enough — it needs direction.
One-North is not growing by chance.
It is part of a deliberate, long-term national strategy.
With developments like:
- Dover–Medway residential precinct
- Expansion of Singapore Science Park & NUH
- Continued growth of Mediapolis
What you’re seeing today is already a working ecosystem.
But what it’s becoming…
👉 is a complete live-work-play district
And historically, when infrastructure and planning move in this direction…
👉 Prices tend to follow.
But not all demand is equal — and this is where One-North stands out
Most locations rely on general housing demand.
One-North doesn’t.
It is built around high-value industries — tech, biomedical, media.
And that changes the entire profile of the buyer pool.
Because now it’s not just about how many people are here.
It’s about:
👉 Who these people are
👉 How much they earn
Higher-income professionals don’t just rent — they eventually buy.
And that creates a more resilient layer of demand, especially at resale.
Which brings us to something most buyers overlook — entry price
Once you understand demand and income profile…
The next logical question is:
👉 “Am I entering at the right price?”
Hudson Place sits on land bought at around $1,037 psf ppr.
But nearby GLS sites?
Already crossing $1,556 psf ppr.
This gap is important.
Because it reflects different points in time.
You’re effectively entering based on:
👉 Yesterday’s land cost
While future projects will be priced based on:
👉 Tomorrow’s benchmarks
And in property…
👉 The advantage is rarely obvious at exit — it is created at entry.
Now here’s where it gets interesting — future connectivity
Up to this point, the main hesitation is usually the same:
“No MRT at doorstep…”
But infrastructure doesn’t stay static.
There has been increasing attention on a future Tengah Line, which could potentially pass through Mediapolis / One-North.
If this materialises, the entire narrative changes.
What feels like a limitation today…
👉 becomes a strength tomorrow
Because now you have:
👉 Entry before connectivity is priced in
👉 Exit after accessibility improves
And this is a pattern we’ve seen repeat itself across Singapore.
So where does that leave Hudson Place?
If you’re looking for something that is:
- Obvious
- MRT-at-doorstep
- Easy to understand immediately
Then this may not stand out to you at first glance.
But if you connect the dots:
- Proven demand already happening
- Strong government backing
- High-income employment base
- Entry price ahead of future launches
- Potential improvement in connectivity
Then the picture becomes clearer.
👉 This is not a hype-driven project
👉 It is a fundamentals-driven opportunity
