As Singapore’s one-north precinct accelerates into its next phase of growth, a new residential launch is set to take shape in Media Circle — one of its most closely watched enclaves. Jointly developed by Qingjian Realty, Forsea Holdings, CYZ Land and Jianan Capital, Hudson Place Residences introduces a fresh expression of city living, where innovation, connectivity and lifestyle converge.
The project follows the strong performance of Bloomsbury Residences, another condo by the same developers that saw over 80% of its units taken up within a year. That momentum reflects growing buyer confidence in Media Circle, and the wider one-north area — a district increasingly recognised for its transformation into a vibrant live-work-play environment.
Positioned within this dynamic ecosystem, Hudson Place Residences is not just a new launch — it is part of a broader shift redefining how urban living is experienced in Singapore.
The ‘new Queenstown’: Where heritage meets innovation
While Hudson Place Residences sits firmly within the one-north innovation corridor, it is equally part of Queenstown — one of Singapore’s most established and sought-after residential towns.
This positioning offers a rare duality. Residents are surrounded by leading research institutions and a concentration of multinational corporations within one-north, which today houses more than 400 companies spanning biomedical sciences, infocomm technology and media. The area is also close to established educational institutions such as INSEAD, the National University of Singapore and Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), as well as Tanglin Trust School, reinforcing its live-work-learn appeal.

At the same time, the familiar conveniences of Queenstown — from retail amenities and dining options to transport connectivity — remain just minutes away. The area has also seen strong price growth in recent years, with resale HDB flats crossing the million-dollar mark, reflecting sustained upgrader demand and underpinning the long-term residential appeal of the district.
This interplay between old and new gives rise to what can be described as the “new Queenstown” — a district shaped not only by its heritage, but also by its future direction.
Government plans for the area reinforce this outlook. Under URA’s Master Plan, the wider Queenstown and one-north precinct is earmarked for continued growth as a key innovation and employment hub, alongside the introduction of new housing, enhanced connectivity and community spaces. Plans for the Mediapolis area alone include thousands of new homes over time, supporting a growing residential population within the district.
Connectivity is also set to improve. New MRT lines — including the Tengah Line, which is being studied to serve areas such as Queensway and Bukit Merah — as well as the West Coast Extension of the Jurong Region Line, are expected to enhance rail access across the western region. Additional lines such as the Seletar Line are also under study, supporting the longer-term expansion of Singapore’s rail network.
With these developments in the pipeline, the district is expected to evolve into a high-density live-work environment similar to global tech clusters.
Drawing inspiration from global metropolitan living
The concept behind Hudson Place Residences reflects a broader vision of modern city living — one shaped by global influences and the energy of leading metropolitan centres.
Its name takes inspiration from Hudson Yards in New York City, New York, a district known for its integration of premium residences, Grade A office spaces and striking architecture. Designed as a destination for professionals, creatives and global talent, Hudson Yards represents a new model of urban living — where lifestyle, work and culture intersect seamlessly.
That same spirit is echoed at Hudson Place Residences. The development’s contemporary architecture, refined material palette and urban sensibility are designed to reflect the vibrancy of the surrounding one-north district. The result is a residential environment that feels cosmopolitan, forward-looking and perfectly aligned with the spirit of the one-north innovation ecosystem.
Elevated design, open living
One of the defining architectural features of Hudson Place Residences lies in its elevated residential towers, which are raised over 13m above ground level.
This design approach enhances both the visual and spatial experience of the development. Units are positioned to enjoy more expansive views, including vistas of the low-rise Wessex Estate and, for some, glimpses of the southern coastline.
At the same time, the elevated residential blocks free up ground-level space for landscaping and communal facilities. This creates a more open, resort-like environment — a contrast to the density typically associated with city-fringe developments.

The overall effect is a development that enjoys expansive vistas while remaining thoughtfully integrated with its surroundings.
Smart living in Singapore’s tech hub
Located within one-north — Singapore’s key research and technology cluster — Hudson Place Residences integrates smart features that reflect the district’s forward-looking character.
Technology is integrated across both the common areas and individual homes. In the shared spaces, parcel delivery robots assist with deliveries, and at the tennis court, automated tennis robots relieve that tedium of ball-picking. Within each apartment, residents can expect smart home systems that allow convenient control of key functions such as lighting and air-conditioning.
These features are designed to complement everyday living, offering a more efficient and seamless residential experience within a high-tech environment.
Facilities designed for contemporary lifestyles
Hudson Place Residences offers an extensive range of 48 facilities designed to support both relaxation and active living.
Residents have access to two swimming pools, a tennis court, a fully equipped gym and two clubhouses. A grand lobby sets the tone on arrival, reinforcing the development’s sense of identity and presence.

At ground level, retail space provides conveniences within easy reach. Located across Bloomsbury Shoppes, this creates a broader retail area, offering greater convenience and variety for residents. The retail component is complemented by a plaza and a linear park, providing shared spaces for recreation and community interaction.

Together, these features create a self-contained environment that caters to the rhythms of modern urban life.
Homes tailored for different needs
The development offers a curated mix of unit types, ranging from two-bedroom units of 646 sq ft to larger 4-bedders of up to 1,432 sq ft, as well as a limited collection of luxurious single floor plate penthouses.
Layouts are designed with efficiency in mind, complemented by modern finishes and integrated smart home features. Selected four-bedroom units come with private lift access, offering an added layer of exclusivity.
This range makes Hudson Place Residences appealing to a broad spectrum of buyers — from young professionals working within the one-north ecosystem to families seeking larger homes within a well-connected city-fringe location.
District on the rise
Beyond the development itself, the broader transformation of the Queenstown and one-north area adds another dimension to Hudson Place Residences’ appeal.
Plans for new housing supply, enhanced transport infrastructure and upcoming community nodes are set to reshape the district over the next decade. Based on government announcements, more than 80,000 new homes are planned across various parts of Singapore over the next 10 to 15 years, with areas such as Queenstown and the Greater one-north precinct identified as key growth locations. Initiatives centred on technology and innovation — including spaces designed to support AI-driven enterprises — further reinforce one-north’s position as a key employment cluster. Already, it supports over 400 companies and a significant professional workforce.
This employment base underpins rental demand in the area. Based on URA data, city-fringe locations such as Queenstown have continued to see resilient rental performance, supported by proximity to business hubs and educational institutions. With ongoing expansion in one-north, the tenant pool is expected to grow over time.
Improved connectivity, including potential future MRT developments and pedestrian links, is expected to integrate Media Circle more closely with surrounding neighbourhoods. At the same time, recent land tenders in nearby areas have seen firm developer interest, reflecting confidence in the district’s long-term prospects and contributing to the gradual establishment of new price benchmarks.
Taken together, these developments point to a district undergoing sustained, long-term evolution — one that supports both liveability and investment potential.
