Guide To New Singapore Condominium Launches In 2025

Posted on
by

With mortgage rates heading down from record highs and inflation slowing, it’s no wonder that new condominium launches in 2025 have seen impressive takeup rates. 

The Orie, touted as the first private residential launch in Toa Payoh since 2016, saw 668 of its 777 units sold to kick off the year. This was almost matched a monthly by Parktown Residences in Tampines, which moved a remarkable 1,041 of its 1193 units on launch day.

This sales momentum carries over from the second half of 2024, especially towards the end, and shows no sign of slowing down, with over 2,000 units already sold in these past two months. 2025 should be an exciting year, especially for those looking to upgrade from their HDB flats when they reach the minimum occupation period this year.

Here are some upcoming condominium launches you can look forward to in 2025:

Condominium Project District Available No. of Residential Units Tenure
1. Aurea 7 188 99 years
2. Lentor Central Residences 26 477 99 years
3. Arina East Residences 15 107 Freehold
4. Orchard Boulevard 10 280 99 years
5. W Residences Singapore – Marina View 1 683 99 years
6. Marina Gardens Lane 1 795 99 years
7. Bloomsbury Residences 5 358 99 years
8. Amber Sea 15 132 Freehold
9. Former Robertson Walk 9 348 999 years
10. Zion Road 9 610 99 years
11. Canberra Crescent 27 375 99 years
12. Newport Residences 2 246 Freehold

#1 Aurea

Neighbourhood District 7 – Middle Road, Golden Mile
Location 802 Beach Road
Number of Units 188
Tenure 99-Year Leasehold
Developer Far East / Perennial Holdings 
Expected Preview Previews have begun, officially launches 8 March

Aurea is the definition of exclusive, with only 188 units in this 45-storey residential tower. It is uniquely connected to the conserved Golden Mile Complex, one of the few remaining icons of an era of brutalist architecture in the early years of Singapore’s independence.

In the past three years, sale prices at the nearby Midtown Modern average at $2,867 psf, while Midtown Bay averaged at $3,290 psf. 

You can therefore expect prices at Aurea to average around $3,000 psf, a pretty price to pay for the (currently) unblocked views of the Kallang Basin and Marina Bay.

#2 Lentor Central Residences

Neighbourhood District 26 – Upper Thomson, Springleaf
Location Lentor Central
Number of Units 477
Tenure 99-Year Leasehold
Developer Hong Leong / Guocoland / CSC Land
Expected Preview Previews have begun, officially launches 8 March

Lentor Hills is a new neighbourhood planned around an existing hillock. The vision of a private residential enclave on a hill is clearly popular with buyers, and the Lentor projects that have launched over the past three years enjoyed strong take-up rates. Back in January, developer GuocoLand reported that Lentor Modern was fully sold, Lentor Hills Residences has sold 99% of its units and Lentor Mansion is 97% sold.

In the past three years, Lentor Modern sale prices averaged at $2,108 psf, while Lentor Hills Residences averaged at $2,115 psf and Lentor Mansion averaged at $2,265 psf.

Expect Lentor Central Residences prices to be slightly above the $2,000 psf region for this two-block development, one with 27 storeys and the other 28.

#3 Arina East Residences

Neighbourhood District 15 – Katong
Location 6C / 6D Tanjong Rhu Road
Number of Units 107
Tenure Freehold
Developer ZACD Group
Expected Preview Q1 2025

Built on the site of the former La Ville condominium, it boasts two 20-storey blocks. Its proximity to Dunman High School, Singapore Swimming Club and the newly opened Katong Park MRT station make it an appealing option for families with young children.

In the past three years, sale prices in the other older freehold condominiums along Tanjong Rhu Road have been hovering around the same region. The Waterside averaged $1,797 psf, De Centurion averaged $1,838 psf and Crystal Rhu averaged $1,850 psf. The exception is The Line@Tanjong Rhu, completed in 2016, which now commands average sales of $2,295 psf.

Expect to pay a new launch premium for Arina East Residences, where prices should start from $2,400 psf.

#4 Orchard Boulevard

Neighbourhood District 10 – Tanglin
Location Orchard Boulevard
Number of Units 280
Tenure 99-year Leasehold
Developer UOL / SingLand
Expected Preview Q1 2025

This is the first residential land parcel to be released in the Orchard/Tanglin area since 2018, and it is right next to the Orchard Boulevard MRT. Developers UOL and Singapore Land narrowly won the auction against 3 other bidders. 

The best comparison in terms of prices would be Cuscaden Reserve, which is built on the land parcel that was released in 2018 and is located just 300m away. Over the past three years, sales at Cuscaden Reserve averaged $3,029 psf.

We can therefore expect prices at the Orchard Boulevard site to start above $3,000 psf.

#5 W Residences Singapore – Marina View

Neighbourhood District 1 – Marina
Location Marina View
Number of Units 683
Tenure 99-Year Leasehold
Developer IOI Properties Group
Expected Preview Q1 2025

Expect to live in the lap of luxury in this 51-storey skyscraper overlooking the CBD. Seamlessly integrated with the 5-star W Hotel at the foot of the development and connected to the Shenton Way MRT station, it boasts the perfect blend of exclusivity and convenience.

Marina One Residences and V on Shenton are two nearby condominium developments completed in 2017. Over the past three years, their resale prices have averaged $2,339 psf and $2,104 psf respectively.

Prices at W Residences Singapore – Marina View would likely average around $2,800 psf or more, based on their value proposition of premium hotel-style services.

#6 Marina Gardens Lane

Neighbourhood District 1 – Marina
Location Marina Gardens Lane
Number of Units 795
Tenure 99-year Leasehold
Developer Kingsford Huray
Expected Preview Q1 2025

Living next to Gardens by the Bay is now a reality as the first land parcel in the Marina South precinct has been awarded. The views of Marina Bay, Marina Barrage and the Straits of Singapore will be unprecedented. Of the five potential residential sites (remaining to be awarded?), this is the closest to the upcoming Marina South MRT station.

Developers Kingsford Huray have the opportunity to set the price point for the Marina South precinct. Having bid over $1 billion for the land, they are undoubtedly keen to recoup that amount. The nearest condominium is Marina Bay Residences, which is still commanding an average of $2,231 psf, despite being a much older development.

Initial prices of the Marina Gardens Lane development should start around $2,800 psf.

#7 Bloomsbury Residences

Neighbourhood District 5 – Pasir Panjang
Location Media Circle
Number of Units 358
Tenure 99-year Leasehold
Developer Qingjian Realty / Forsea Holdings
Expected Preview Q1 2025

The rapid development of the one-north region makes this location particularly appealing, especially to those in the media, technology and research industries. Families will appreciate the relative proximity to schools like Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), Fairfield Methodist School and NUS, as well as United World College, Tanglin Trust School, INSEAD Asia Campus and ESSEC Business School.

While there is no other similar development in its immediate vicinity, we can look at the recently launched Blossoms By The Park and The Hill @ One North as indicators. The median prices were $2,447 psf and $2,585 psf respectively, and they are much closer to Buona Vista MRT station.

To remain attractive to both Singaporeans and foreigners, Bloomsbury Residences would need to match those prices at about $2,500 psf.

#8 Amber Sea

Neighbourhood District 15 – Amber Road
Location 30 Amber Gardens
Number of Units 132
Tenure Freehold
Developer Far East Organisation
Expected Preview Q2 2025

This quiet yet highly accessible East Coast location borders the highly sought-after Marine Parade region and East Coast Park. The new Tanjong Katong and Marine Parade MRT stations on the Thomson-East Coast Line enhance the connectivity of the location.

There are several other freehold condominiums in the vicinity, where median prices over the past three years range from $2,144 psf at The Esta and $2,390 psf at The Sea View.

Due to the competition, it is not surprising that Amber Sea prices start around $2,600 psf.

#9 Former Robertson Walk

Neighbourhood District 9 – River Valley
Location 11 Unity Street
Number of Units 348
Tenure 999-year Leasehold 
Developer Frasers / Sekisui House
Expected Preview Q2 2025

When Robertson Walk ceases operations at the end of May this year, it is a golden opportunity for developers Frasers Property to create a luxury residential enclave next to the Singapore River in the heart of Robertson Quay. With a 999-year lease, this might as well be a freehold condominium.

Two other developments in the area also boast 999-year leases, UE Square and Vivace. Over the past three years, the median price for sales has been $2,031 psf and $2,138 psf respectively, despite their relative age. The much newer Martin Modern, despite being a 99-year leasehold, commands a median sale price of $2,692 psf.

We can therefore expect the residences at the new Robertson Walk to be priced around $2,800 psf.

#10 Zion Road (Parcel B)

Neighbourhood District 9 – River Valley
Location Zion Road
Number of Units 610
Tenure 99-year Leasehold 
Developer Allgreen Properties
Expected Preview Q3 2025

Over the past 2 years, the Havelock area has begun to evolve with the arrival of the Thomson-East Coast Line, bringing new life to the region. What is interesting is that this land parcel is directly opposite Great World City, which is also managed by developers Allgreen Properties, a golden opportunity for the new condominium to create some synergy with the recently renovated mall.

Nearby condominiums include Tiara, The Trillium and Melrose Park. Reflecting the area’s connectivity via the Thomson-East Coast Line and proximity to Orchard Road, median unit prices here range from $2,221 psf to $2,608 psf despite their relative age.

The new development will undoubtedly push its price point to around $2,700 psf.

#11 Canberra Crescent

Neighbourhood District 27 – Sembawang
Location Canberra Crescent
Number of Units 375
Tenure 99-year Leasehold
Developer Peak Nature / Huatland Development
Expected Preview Q3 2025

HDB upgraders from the surrounding Sembawang neighbourhood will appreciate this upcoming development at Canberra Crescent, one of the few private housing options in the area. It is near to Bukit Canberra, an integrated sports and community hub that houses the largest ActiveSG gym, and across from Sembawang Community Club, which is currently undergoing major renovation and will be ready next year.

The best comparison here would be with The Commodore and The Watergardens at Canberra. Both launched in 2021 and the median price for sales over the past three years is $1,495 psf and $1,469 psf respectively.

The Canberra Crescent location will likely match that at about $1,500 psf.

#12 Newport Residences

Neighbourhood District 2 – Tanjong Pagar
Location 80 Anson Road
Number of Units 246
Tenure Freehold
Developer CDL / Hong Leong Properties
Expected Preview 2025

Prime downtown project Newport Residences will be built on the former Fuji Xerox Towers and was originally expected to launch back in 2023. However, a series of property cooling measures led the developers to postpone the launch till a more appropriate time.

The rare freehold development in the CBD, it is a convenient 3-minute walk from the future Prince Edward Road MRT station. The mixed-use development has residential units from the 23rd to 44th floors, with a super penthouse on the 45th.

There are two other freehold properties in the vicinity, Onze @ Tanjong Pagar and The Arris. Over the past three years, median prices have been $2,225 psf for both, which is impressive, considering The Arris is a much older building.
