Tanjong Pagar, Anson & Downtown Core

District 2 sits at the gateway to the Greater Southern Waterfront, which is the largest long-term redevelopment in Singapore. The scarcity here is specific and structural: freehold tenure inside the Central Business District barely exists, and no policy change is going to create more of it.

What actually matters here

  • Newport Residences is one of very few freehold developments in the CBD — 246 units on the former Fuji Xerox Towers site, which sold 57% on its launch weekend in January 2026.
  • Average pricing was $3,370 psf excluding the penthouse, as at 1 February 2026. Nothing more recent has been published, so ask for the current availability chart rather than relying on that figure.
  • The Greater Southern Waterfront will reshape this district over the next two decades. That is an argument for holding period, not for a quick flip — particularly with Seller’s Stamp Duty now running four years.

Transport

  • Tanjong Pagar MRT on the East–West Line, with several developments offering direct access
  • Upcoming Circle Line stations extend connectivity through the waterfront

Schools nearby

  • Cantonment Primary School
  • CHIJ St Theresa’s Convent

School proximity affects Primary One registration priority. Confirm distances against the MOE school finder before you buy on this basis — the 1 km boundary is measured door to door, not by district.
