one-north, Buona Vista & West Coast
District 5 is the one place in Singapore where the rental argument is structural rather than hopeful. one-north is a purpose-built innovation district — Biopolis, Fusionopolis, the research institutes and a coming artificial-intelligence hub — which means a deep, stable, well-paid tenant pool sitting directly beside the housing.
What actually matters here
- Hudson Place Residences sold 61% of 327 units on its launch weekend in May 2026 at an average $2,458 psf, and went on to be Singapore’s best-selling project in June 2026.
- The next one-north launch is not expected until 2027 at Dover–Medway, which gives current stock a real scarcity window rather than a marketed one.
- 99% of launch buyers were Singaporean or permanent resident — this is not a foreign-investor market despite the yield story.
Transport
- one-north and Buona Vista MRT, connecting the Circle and East–West Lines
- Direct access to the research campuses on foot rather than by car
Schools nearby
- Fairfield Methodist School
- New Town Primary School
- Anglo-Chinese Junior College
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.
