One-North Residences

One-North Residences at 7 & 9 One-North Gateway is a 99-year leasehold condominium located in District 5, situated in the heart of Singapore’s research and technology hub. It is an RCR (Rest of Central Region) development. Distinguished by its sleek, full-glass façade and modern architectural lines, the project was one of the pioneers of the “work-live-play” concept in the area. It serves as a high-energy, expatriate-heavy alternative to the mixed-use The Rochester nearby or the much newer One-North Eden.

Key project facts

• Type & tenure: Private residential condominium on a 99-year leasehold tenure (starting from 2005).

• Completion & scale: Completed around 2009 with 405 residential units, making it a medium-sized development that feels exclusive yet vibrant.

• Developer: Developed by Vista Development Pte Ltd, a joint venture between reputable heavyweights UOL Group, Kheng Leong, and Low Keng Huat.

Location and connectivity

• Address & setting: Located at 7 & 9 One-North Gateway, the project sits directly amidst the Biopolis and Fusionopolis clusters, offering a true urban lifestyle where the workplace is literally a stone’s throw away.

• MRT access: Exceptionally connected, sitting between two MRT stations. It is a short walk to One-North MRT (Circle Line) and Buona Vista MRT (East-West and Circle Lines), providing rapid access to the CBD, Marina Bay, and HarbourFront.

• Road links: Immediate access to the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) allows for a quick 10–15 minute drive to the CBD or the Tuas industrial belt.

Layouts and design

• Unit mix: Offers a variety of layouts from 1- to 4-bedroom units, including loft-style apartments and duplexes with high ceilings. The unit at #07-09 would typically enjoy the project’s signature large windows.

• Design approach: The design is distinctly modern and cosmopolitan, featuring full-height glass windows that maximize natural light and city views. The “SOHO-style” vibe of the units appeals strongly to young professionals and singles.

• Positioning: Targets a niche demographic of tech professionals, researchers, and media creatives working in the One-North precinct who prioritize proximity to work and a modern aesthetic over traditional family-style layouts.

Facilities and lifestyle

• Facilities: Features a “sky-high” lifestyle with amenities such as an infinity lap pool and a sky gymnasium that offer panoramic views of the surrounding tech park and greenery.

• Living environment: Buzzing and dynamic. Unlike quiet suburban condos, this development pulses with the energy of the business park. It is surrounded by unique dining concepts at Rochester Park, Timbre+, and The Star Vista.

• Nearby amenities: Residents have immediate access to Cold Storage at The Star Vista and a plethora of cafes and restaurants at Fusionopolis and Galaxis, catering to both daily needs and social dining.

Market and buyer appeal

• Resale positioning: Generally trades at a competitive price point compared to the newer launches in the area (like Blossoms by the Park), offering a lower entry quantum for an established product in a high-demand location.

• Rental demand: One of the highest rental yield performers in the district. The consistent influx of foreign talent into the One-North R&D hub ensures a steady stream of high-quality tenants and minimal vacancy periods.

• Key appeal: The ultimate “walk-to-work” asset. For investors, it offers a captured tenant market; for residents, it offers a chic, low-maintenance home in the middle of Singapore’s “Silicon Valley.”
