Singapore’s property market continues to evolve, and the upcoming Media Circle Plot 2 GLS (Government Land Sales) new launch in 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated residential projects in recent years. Situated in the heart of the vibrant one-north precinct, this development promises to blend cutting-edge urban living with unparalleled connectivity. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, an upgrade seeker, or a seasoned investor, Media Circle Plot 2 offers a compelling proposition. In this comprehensive article, we dive deep into the project overview, location advantages, price estimates, investment case, and frequently asked questions — with a special no-commission offer from Alvin Tan of ERA Realty.

Project Overview

Media Circle Plot 2 is a 99-year leasehold residential development located within the one-north business park, a thriving ecosystem of technology, research, and creative industries. The site was awarded under the Singapore Government’s GLS programme for the 1H2025 land sales cycle, with construction expected to commence in late 2025 and launch for sale in 2026. The project will comprise approximately 500 to 600 units, spread across two towers of around 20 to 25 storeys each, with a mix of 1-bedroom to 4-bedroom units, including dual-key configurations for multi-generational living.

The development is designed to achieve BCA Green Mark Platinum certification, featuring smart home automation, energy-efficient fittings, and extensive landscaping. Residents will enjoy facilities such as a 50-metre lap pool, sky gym, co-working lounges, children’s play areas, barbecue pits, and a rooftop garden with panoramic views of the city skyline. Car park lots will be limited to encourage walking, cycling, and public transport usage, aligning with Singapore’s Car-Lite Singapore vision.

One of the standout features of Media Circle Plot 2 is its integration with the Media Circle mixed-use precinct, which includes retail, F&B, and community spaces on the lower floors. This means residents can step out of their homes and directly access supermarkets, cafes, and lifestyle services without needing to travel. The project is also designed to be pedestrian-friendly, with covered linkways connecting to nearby transport nodes and amenities.

Location & Connectivity

Media Circle Plot 2 enjoys a prime location at the intersection of Media Circle and Portsdown Road, within walking distance to one-north MRT station (Circle Line). The station provides direct access to the city centre, Marina Bay, and HarbourFront, with an interchange at Buona Vista for the East-West Line. For drivers, the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) and Pan Island Expressway (PIE) are minutes away, offering seamless connectivity to the rest of the island.

The surrounding one-north district is home to global tech giants like Google, Apple, Grab, Sea Limited, and Dyson, as well as research institutions such as A*STAR, Biopolis, and Fusionopolis. This creates a strong rental demand from professionals in the tech and biomedical sectors. Within a 2-km radius, residents will find Rochester Mall, Star Vista, Holland Village, and The Metropolis — all offering extensive dining, shopping, and entertainment options.

Families will appreciate the proximity to top-tier schools such as Henry Park Primary School, Fairfield Methodist School (Primary & Secondary), Anglo-Chinese School (Primary), and National Junior College. International schools like Dover Court International School and Waseda Shibuya Senior High School are also nearby. The area is well-served by healthcare facilities including National University Hospital (NUH) and Farrer Park Hospital.

Price Estimates

Based on recent GLS land bids in the one-north area and comparable new launches in 2024–2025, we estimate the average launch price for Media Circle Plot 2 to be between S$2,400 and S$2,700 per square foot (psf). This positions it competitively against nearby projects like Rivière (S$2,800–S$3,200 psf), One-North Eden (S$2,200–S$2,500 psf resale), and The Atelier (S$2,600–S$2,900 psf).

For a typical 1-bedroom unit (500 sq ft), the starting price is expected to be around S$1.2 million. A 2-bedroom (700 sq ft) could range from S$1.7 million to S$1.9 million, while a 3-bedroom (1,000 sq ft) may cost between S$2.4 million and S$2.7 million. Larger 4-bedroom units (1,300 sq ft) could exceed S$3.3 million. Early-bird discounts and corporate bulk purchases may offer slight savings during the launch phase.

It is important to note that GLS projects typically have no additional buyer’s stamp duty (ABSD) for Singapore citizens purchasing their first property, and the Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD) applies only if sold within the first three years. The Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) for Singapore PRs and foreigners will apply as per prevailing rates (5% for PRs, 60% for foreigners as of 2025 policy). Always consult a licensed property agent for the latest tax implications.

Investment Case

Media Circle Plot 2 presents a strong investment case for several reasons:

1. Proven Rental Demand – The one-north area consistently enjoys low vacancy rates (below 5%) due to the concentration of technology and research companies. Rental yields for nearby condos average 3.5% to 4.2%, which is attractive compared to the islandwide average of 2.8%.
2. Capital Appreciation Potential – With the Cross Island Line (CRL) and Jurong Region Line (JRL) expanding connectivity, and the ongoing development of the Greater Southern Waterfront, property values in the one-north corridor are expected to appreciate by 8%–12% over the next 3–5 years.
3. Limited Supply – The GLS programme for one-north has been tightly controlled, with only a handful of residential sites released in the past decade. This scarcity supports price stability and growth.
4. Future-Proof Design – With smart home features, EV charging points, and green certifications, the development is aligned with Singapore’s Smart Nation and Green Plan 2030 initiatives, making it attractive to environmentally conscious tenants and buyers.
5. Exit Strategy – The project’s location near the one-north MRT and major employment hubs ensures a broad pool of potential buyers when it comes time to sell. The ABSD remission for developers also means that the project will be priced competitively to move units quickly.

For investors looking for a turnkey solution, Alvin Tan of ERA Realty offers a no-commission service for both purchase and subsequent rental management, ensuring that your investment journey is seamless and cost-effective.
