Newport Residences: Freehold Mixed-Use Development in the CBD
Built on the site of the former Fuji Xerox Towers, Newport Residences isn't just another CBD high-rise — it's a proper vertical community. As a rare freehold integrated development, it brings homes, Grade-A offices, and a lively retail podium together under one roof, so everyday convenience is right downstairs and the freehold tenure helps the home hold its value over time.
The Dunamis Benchmark
Everything at Your Doorstep
Grade-A offices, retail, and F&B sit under one roof—so work, errands, and dining stay steps from your lift lobby instead of another cross-town trip.
Living Above the City
Homes sit from roughly 200m upward, lifting you above the street grid for calmer light, unblocked sightlines, and a sense of privacy rare in the CBD.
The Rain-Proof Commute
A direct lobby-to-MRT link to Prince Edward Road station means you step indoors at home and step out again at the platform—no umbrella dash across Tanjong Pagar.
In Early on the Waterfront
You sit right at the gateway of the Greater Southern Waterfront—the biggest shoreline makeover the city has planned, meeting today’s CBD. Getting in early means you’re positioned to benefit as the whole area takes shape.
The Market Logic
Here's what makes Newport stand apart from the rest of the Downtown rebuild: nearly all the new CBD land being released is 99-year leasehold, while Newport offers Forever Freehold ownership — in a part of the city going through the biggest transformation Singapore has seen.
Why a Freehold Condo in CBD Singapore Is So Hard to Find
As the Greater Southern Waterfront and Downtown Core take shape, almost all the new homes coming up are leasehold. Newport is one of the few freehold options left in the CBD — a place you own outright, in a part of town that's still growing.

Capital Preservation

Everything Under One Roof
Shops, restaurants, and offices all sit within the development itself. Most CBD homes ask you to give up everyday convenience; Newport simply doesn’t make you choose.
Freehold CBD Value
Owning a freehold home in the heart of the CBD is a real advantage. While the 99-year plots around it slowly lose value as their leases run down, yours doesn’t.
Tri-Node Access
Easy connections to the financial district and the airport across three different MRT lines—which is exactly what makes well-paid expat tenants want to live here.
Built for Lower Running Costs
The BCA Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy rating means the building is designed to keep energy and running costs down for years to come, even as those costs rise elsewhere.

Site Plan Strategy: Architectural Intelligence
01. Homes Sit Above the Shops
The homes are placed well above the shop and office floors, which gives you real privacy and a proper sound buffer from all the activity below in District 2.
02. Views That Stay Open
The tower is angled to capture the sea and city skyline and keep those views open—and an unblocked view is one of the things that holds its value best when you come to sell.
03. Straight Through to the MRT
The layout connects the residential lobby directly into the Tanjong Pagar network, so getting from your front door to the financial district is a smooth, sheltered walk.
04. Permanent vs. Temporary Value
While most new homes in the CBD are 'rented' from the government for 99 years, Newport is yours forever. This means your home stays valuable while the buildings around it start to lose value as their leases run out.

DUNAMIS INSIGHT: THE COLLECTION PROFILES
If you’re buying your first home in the city, the 1-bedroom units (86 in total; 19 left) and the 1-bedroom plus study (22 units; 12 left) are the easiest way into a freehold CBD address. Instead of paying rent, you’re building equity, you cut your commute to almost nothing, and you’re left with the kind of unit that’s always easy to rent out down the line.
If you’re buying to invest, the 1-bedroom and 1-bedroom plus study still give you more to choose from than the much tighter 2-bedroom pool. Worth knowing: with only 2 standard 2-bedroom units left, the 1+Study is the deeper pool to look at if the 2-bedroom layout you want isn’t available.
If you’re a family or looking to upgrade, the standard 3-bedroom units are almost sold out, while the 3-bedroom Premium and 4-bedroom Premium give you the room a family needs. Worth knowing: the 3-Bedroom Premium gives families more to pick from and better sea-facing units than the nearly sold-out standard 3-bedrooms. The 4-bedroom Premium and Super Penthouse are the ones to look at if you want freehold space to keep in the family for the long term, here in District 2.

Newport Residences: The Dunamis Strategic Verdict
The big draw at Newport Residences is its tenure. While the CBD around it is being rebuilt with 99-year leasehold plots, Newport stays Forever Freehold — so your home isn't slowly losing value to a shrinking lease, generation after generation. The wider price picture backs this up: Singapore's 2006-2026 condo price chart shows the district's premium compressing against new leasehold supply across cooling-measure cycles, which makes scarce freehold stock more valuable, not less.
On top of that, it's the first private home in Singapore to earn the BCA Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy (SLE) rating — which, beyond the milestone, means lower running costs and a building that's ready for tighter energy rules down the line.
The bottom line: a rare chance to own a freehold home outright at the gateway to the Greater Southern Waterfront.

Newport Residences is developed by City Developments Limited (CDL), one of Singapore's most established developers with a track record of delivering flagship mixed-use assets across the CBD.
The expected TOP is 1 March 2030. This timeline provides a structured capital preparation window and aligns well with a progressive payment schedule for buyers planning their transition.
Yes. Newport Residences is a rare Forever Freehold asset in the CBD — one of the last opportunities to secure permanent land ownership in District 2. Unlike the surrounding 99-year leasehold developments being built across the CBD regeneration zone, your capital is protected from lease decay from the day you purchase.
Yes, for buyers thinking long term. Freehold tenure, a trusted developer in CDL, a direct link to three MRT lines, and a spot right at the gateway of the Greater Southern Waterfront all add up to a home that should hold its value well, stay easy to rent out, and have good room to grow over time.
