Hudson Place Residences

Hudson Place is the cheapest new launch in D5 — and the best-valued D5 project in our scoring series at 7.2. At $2,200+ PSF starting price, you're paying 13.7% above the D5 modern resale average — the tightest new launch premium in our entire scoring series. For a brand-new 99-year leasehold product from the same developer that just cleared 85% at Bloomsbury ($2,474 PSF), that pricing is genuinely competitive. The land cost story makes it even more interesting: the same Qingjian-Forsea consortium just won the Dover Drive GLS site at $1,556 PSF PPR — that's 50% above what they paid for Hudson Place. When the Dover project launches in 2027-2028 at an estimated $2,800+ PSF, every Hudson Place buyer becomes a beneficiary of that price anchor. You're buying into a corridor where your developer is actively building the next comparable above you.

The MRT situation is worse than the marketing suggests. One-north MRT is 1.1km away — a 13-14 minute walk, not the 'doorstep MRT' some agent materials claim. Bloomsbury is closer to MRT. Blossoms by the Park is 200m from Buona Vista. Hudson Place is the furthest from an MRT station of any recent D5 launch. And here's the family-buyer red flag: there is NO primary school within 1km. We verified this independently — New Town Primary is 1,241m away, outside the MOE priority registration zone. Agents claiming otherwise are measuring wrong. For investors, the one-north thesis needs to be strong: 62,000 workers in a 5,545-home precinct creates structural rental demand, but the 2.2% new launch premium means your upside depends on the corridor growing into the price — not immediate capital gain.
