Joint developers of Bloomsbury Residences, Qingjian Realty and Forsea Holdings saw around 2,500 visitors over the long Hari Raya Puasa weekend on March 29 to 31.

Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA Singapore, says the response from both homeowners and investors "has been very encouraging".

The 99-year leasehold Bloomsbury Residences will be the first residential development in Media Circle at one-north, which is being positioned as a live, work, play cluster.

According to Chu, the project is near educational institutions such as Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), INSEAD business school's Asia campus, National University of Singapore and Tanglin Trust School.

Lifestyle and F&B amenities in the area include The Star Vista, Rochester Mall, Rochester Park, Gillman Barracks, and Timbre+ One North.

The 358-unit Bloomsbury Residences is scheduled for launch on April 12. Indicative prices for the 358-unit development will start from $1.36 million ($2,396 psf) for a 570 sq ft two-bedroom unit, about $2.16 million ($2,396 psf) for a 904 sq ft three-bedroom plus study unit, and $2.86 million ($2,443 psf) for a 1,173sq ft four-bedroom plus study unit.

In addition to the two-, three- and four-bedroom units, the project at Media Circle in one-north will also have eight penthouses, ranging from four- to six-bedroom units with sizes of 1,345 sq ft to 2,131 sq ft.

"Bloomsbury Residences offers not just a home but a chance to be part of an exclusive live-work-learn-play ecosystem," says ERA's Chu. "Its proximity to educational institutions, business hubs, and lifestyle amenities makes it an ideal choice for professionals, researchers, and families."

He sees investors capitalising on the potential rentability of apartments in the one-north area.
