As Singapore’s property landscape continues to evolve, 2026 is shaping up to be another year of noteworthy residential launches. At the forefront of this next phase is Hong Leong Group, through its real estate arms City Developments Limited (CDL) and Hong Leong Holdings Limited (HLHL), which will introduce a diverse mix of private condominiums across the Core Central Region (CCR) and Outside Central Region (OCR).

Together, these upcoming projects reflect a calibrated approach to residential development that balances lifestyle appeal, connectivity and long-term value.

Newport Residences

Newport Residences is a rare freehold mixed-use development located at 80 Anson Road in Singapore’s Downtown Core. Redeveloped by CDL on the former Fuji Xerox Towers site, the project will be among the city’s first to integrate serviced apartments, offices, restaurants and residential homes within a single tower. Comprising 246 ultra-luxury residential units, the landmark project will appeal to both homebuyers and investors seeking long-term value within the Central Business District (CBD).

Connectivity is a defining feature of the development. Newport Residences sits within a 500-metre radius of Tanjong Pagar MRT station on the East-West Line and is also close to the upcoming Prince Edward Road MRT and Cantonment MRT stations on the Circle Line. Combined with its integrated commercial and lifestyle offerings, the development enjoys seamless access to Singapore’s financial, retail and dining hubs, underscoring its appeal as both a liveable address and an investment asset.

Looking ahead, the Downtown Core is set to evolve into a more vibrant mixed-use district where living, working, and leisure converge. The Anson Road precinct, where Newport Residences is located, is expected to integrate more closely with Raffles Place, blending office, retail and residential uses to rejuvenate the CBD. This long-term urban vision further enhances the development’s attractiveness to buyers seeking a stake in the city’s transformation.

Tengah Garden Avenue

Situated within Singapore’s newest forest town, the Tengah Garden Avenue project is being jointly developed by a Hong Leong Holdings-led consortium comprising GuocoLand and CSC Land Group. The development will be Tengah’s first major mixed-use private condominium, featuring approximately 860 units alongside ground-floor commercial space.

Residents will benefit from proximity to the upcoming Hong Kah MRT station on the Jurong Region Line (JRL), placing the project just one stop from the future Tengah Town Centre and offering a direct rail connection to Jurong Lake District, Singapore’s second CBD. The site also lies within 2km of the future Anglo-Chinese School (Primary), which is slated to become co-educational in 2030—an added draw for family-oriented buyers.

Earlier residential projects in Tengah have demonstrated strong demand. Copen Grand, the estate’s first EC developed by CDL and MCL Land, sold out within a month of its 2022 launch. Its successor, Lumina Grand, a 512-unit EC by CDL launched in 2024, has also been fully sold.

As the first private condominium in Tengah, this upcoming development is expected to appeal to a broader pool of buyers compared to ECs, which are subject to eligibility conditions such as income ceilings and a five-year minimum occupation period. With this being Hong Leong Group’s third development in the estate, the project represents a key opportunity for buyers seeking early entry into a new town positioned for long-term growth.

Lakeside Drive

The Lakeside Drive site is zoned for residential use with commercial space on the first storey, anchored by a supermarket. CDL plans to develop a 570-unit residential project comprising five 16-storey blocks, with comprehensive facilities and beautiful landscaping.

The development benefits from immediate access to Lakeside MRT station and the expansive Jurong Lake Gardens. It is also located near several primary schools, including Lakeside Primary, Shuqun Primary and Rulang Primary. Connectivity in the west will be further enhanced with the phased completion of the Jurong Region Line (JRL) between 2027 and 2029, including the transformation of Boon Lay MRT station into an interchange linking the JRL and East-West Line.

What’s Driving 2026 Launches

An estimated 17 new private condominium projects and five ECs are expected to launch in 2026, with Hong Leong Group accounting for three private developments. While overall supply is moderating, demand remains supported by buyers seeking a balance of lifestyle, connectivity and long-term value.

What sets 2026 apart is the breadth of choice on offer, from freehold city living at Newport Residences, to nature-centric homes in Tengah and Lakeside. Collectively, these launches reflect a market where thoughtful planning and evolving lifestyle preferences converge, offering homebuyers and investors a compelling range of opportunities in the year ahead.
