The verdict · for an investor
One Shenton · Apartment · District 01 · Leasehold
One Shenton is a mixed picture — a real case, with real caveats.
There's a genuine case here, but weigh the caveats below before you commit — the fundamentals and the record don't all point the same way.
Why it's pushing up
What matters most for you
- Convenient — MRT about 4 min on foot; 11 supermarkets, 9 food & retail spots nearby.
- Rentable — ~4.1% gross yield; transport nearby keep tenants coming.
And what makes it better
- Every unit type has risen — 5-bed +13.4%, 3-bed +13.0%, 4-bed +11.5% since 2021.
- Inside Marina Bay & CBD core — a government-committed long-term catalyst.
What's holding it back
- Leasehold, ~78 years left — the lease clock weighs on price and financing the older it gets.
- No Primary-1 priority school within 1km.
- The market's near the top of its cycle — mind your entry price.
Should I buy?
There's a case — weigh the caveats first.

No agent, no listing, no one paying us — so we’ll say it plainly, whichever side of the table you’re on, for the size you picked.
If you’re buying
≤ $1.16M
Aim at the middle or below. A patient buyer has been getting closer to $1.12M.
If you’re selling
~$1.21M
List at the top of fair; realistic close is $1.16M–$1.17M unless it’s a high floor.
Why no rush either way: Seller’s Stamp Duty means a buyer can’t sell penalty-free for ~4 years — so you’re holding regardless. That’s your leverage to negotiate down now, not overpay.
The reality check — does the gain even make sense?
Our blunt read: ~$325k over 10 years at this project’s own pace. It works — but forward from a cycle top, treat it as a maybe, not a promise. This is our own POV, not a forecast — the pace is the project’s own (~2.5%/yr), and past pace never promises the future.

If you’re buying — the outlook
One Shenton
Core Central Region (CCR) · District 01 · ~$1,840 psf · 4.1% yield
Prices are near the top of the cycle, and the government is still cooling it — but cheap loans and steady immigration are holding them up. For One Shenton, its own prices have been flat lately. Over a 4-year hold, expect sideways-to-modest — not a big jump.
On balance, the wind is roughly even.
What it means for you: At ~$1,840 psf, One Shenton is priced about level with similar new projects nearby — no bargain, but you're not overpaying versus its peers. Its own prices are only creeping up (~2.5%/yr over ~5 years). The real watch-out: about 3,173 brand-new units come up for sale in this district — direct competition for when you sell. Buying near the top of the cycle just as that lands can cap your gains. So — use the incoming supply as your reason to negotiate the price down now, don't overpay, and plan to hold past the 4-year stamp-duty window before selling.
The signals behind it
Dots show how much weight each one carries.
Holds prices back
Prices are near the top — up 33% in 5 years, well above the 4.6%/year long-run pace. Less room left to climb.
Holds prices back
One Shenton's own prices have softened — about -2% in the latest year.
Supports prices
The prime districts (CCR) lagged the others since 2004 — more room to catch up.
Holds prices back
The government is still cooling the market — the latest was SSD back to 4 years at 16/12/8/4% (2025). That caps how fast prices can run.
Supports prices
Loan rates are cheap right now (~1.08%) and falling. Easy to carry — which supports prices, but also means more buyers competing with you.
Supports prices
Against salaries, prices aren't expensive by past standards — people can still afford to buy.
Supports prices
Lots of new people keep moving to Singapore (non-residents up ~16% over 5 years) — steady demand for homes and rentals.
Holds prices back
About 3,173 new units are still unsold in this district — plenty of fresh supply that can hold prices and rents back.
About neutral
New launches in this district are selling at a middling pace (~49% sold).
Holds prices back · small effect
The government keeps releasing a lot of new land (~9,200 units this half-year) — more future supply that can weigh on prices years down the road.
Holds prices back
Foreign buying has collapsed since the 60% tax — only ~1.4% of buyers now. For the prime market you're looking at, that's a real missing piece of demand.
About neutral
Rents at One Shenton have been flat over the last couple of years.
Supports prices · small effect
There's more CPF money sitting ready to put toward a home than a few years back — a small support in the background.
Supports prices · small effect
The economy is growing (5% last year) and jobs are steady (1.9% unemployment) — no alarm bells.
Supports prices · small effect
Building costs are high (up ~39% since 2010) and still creeping up — developers can't build cheap, which puts a floor under new-launch prices.
Built from real public data (URA price index back to 1975, plus rates, immigration, rents, the economy). It prepares you — it never promises a price.
How far could it go — and when?
Is the price high? ~$1,840 psf is ~8% below similar nearby projects (~$1,991). about right
(The whole prime average is ~$2,284 psf — but that lumps in older stock, so we compare like with like, not against that.)
What’s realistic here? Its own record and its real neighbours — not the market.
One Shenton has grown ~2.5%/yr over ~5 years. Similar nearby: The Sail @ Marina Bay 1.3%, Marina One Residences -5.3%, Marina Bay Residences -1.8%, V On Shenton -2.4% — a -5.3–1.3%/yr spread (most around -1.8%).
You can’t sell for ~4 years without a penalty. Seller’s Stamp Duty is 16/12/8/4% in years 1–4, then 0% — so the honest question is what happens from year 4 on.

Our own read, not financial advice. We don’t predict a price — we show what your target would need, and when, against what this project and its real neighbours have actually done.
