Midtown Modern is a new launch mixed-use development above Bugis MRT station.

This is a project that is by no means similar to any other condominium nearby.

What so unique is that they are linked to a massive Grade A office spaces, retail and F&B outlets.

How will Guoco Midtown Modern transform Bugis?

If you heard of what Guocoland offered in 2020, it was under Guoco Midtown I development with a residential tower housing 219 units only.

This time around, they will develop Guoco Midtown II with 558 luxurious units, plus a commercial space of 21,528s sqft on the 1st floor.

Midtown Modern is jointly developed by Guocoland, Hong Leong Holdings, and Hong Realty.

The condo sits on a land size of close to 125,000 sqft, which is about 55% larger than the latest new launch nearby, The M.

World-Class Integrated Development

By combining 2 sites, this is a mega integrated development in the core central region (CCR) of Singapore, with a massive land size of 350,000 sqft.

It will comprise:

1. A 30-storey office tower with 770,000 sqft of premium Grade A office space
2. 3 concept Retail Clusters with around 5,000 sqm F&B and retail space
3. Two condominiums with 777 units — Midtown Bay and Midtown Modern
4. A 5-storey Network Hub building, a purpose-built business, and social networking club. The network hub is designed as a members-only business and social club that caters to both office tenants at Guoco Midtown and residents at Midtown Bay and Midtown Modern.

And all these will attract additional 10,000 office workers, residents, and visitors into the district.

In addition, Guoco Midtown has also joined the effort in sustainable development, Singapore green plan 2030.

Nearly 27% of total area of the entire building will be occupied by greeneries (30 thematic gardens and landscape).

Not only that, Guocoland will adopt new technology to collect, filter and reuse the rainwater. That will serve as 20% of Guoco Midtown’s usage.

Where is the Midtown Modern condo located?

Imagine living where you work, and working where you live! And no, we are not turning you into a virtual reality…

Bugis MRT interchange is right below your home! This is the address many people dreaming about.

Midtown Modern is situated in the heart of Singapore’s bustling city center and is to be juxtaposed to a series of shophouses along Tan Quee Lan Street.

Actually, Midtown Modern is under Guoco Midtown II which is the extension from the Guoco Midtown I that includes Grade A office tower.

Accessibility

Seriously, unless you choose to, or you might not even want to travel out of the area at all.

Fortunately, Guocoland managed to bid both pieces of government land sales along Beach Road and Tan Quee Lan Street.

Now, they name it Guoco Midtown I and II.

A new underground pedestrian network will be linking each other to Bugis MRT, an interchange for the East-West and Downtown Lines.

A new overhead bridge will be built to join from Guoco Midtown I to Suntec City.  where the offices and the Suntec City Mall is, as well as the Promenade MRT interchange for the Downtown and Circle Lines.

It will also be sheltered linked above ground to neighbouring buildings such as South Beach, which has a direct link to the Esplanade MRT station on the Circle Line; and is within a short walk to Raffles City and City Hall MRT interchange station for the North-South and East-West Lines.

So yes, we are near to 4 MRT stations and 3 of them are MRT interchange.

Who is the Developer?

Midtown Modern is jointly developed by Guocoland, Hong Leong Holdings, and Hong Realty.

Just by hearing the name, you would know Guocoland is the developer of this project.

In 2019, the richest man in the UK, James Dyson bought the super penthouse at Wallich Residence, for $73.8mil. Built by Guocoland and it is now the tallest building in Singapore.

Another project with the concept “city living in a garden” – Martin Modern at River Valley is currently under construction and expect to be completed in 2021.

Other luxury masterpieces by Guocoland include Leedon Residence and Goodwood Residence.

So by now, you should know Guocoland is a high-end residential developer with top-notch quality.  However, before they moved into the high-end territory, they have completed several projects, and below are their portfolio:

• Martin Modern (under development)
• Meyer Mansion (under development)
• Midtown Bay (under development)

Latest Price Guide & Analysis:

There are 4 newer projects nearby that can be take as reference.

They are Duo Residences, South Beach, The M and Midtown Bay.

Duo and South Beach have already TOP a few years back.

For the past 24 months record, Duo Residences average price is $2,113psf. Whereas South Beach Residences set the benchmark price in District 7 above $3,300psf.

In my previous video, I have mentioned the integrated development deserves a premium of 20% over the condo price nearby.

The past transaction record at The M shows an average price of $2,461psf with almost 80% sold. Plus 20% will be $2,953psf.

That’s also the average price at Midtown Bay.

Honestly, we don’t have the official price list as of now.

There is the starting guide price given:

Midtown Modern Official Price Guide

• 1 Bedroom starts from $1.1xmil
• 2 Bedroom starts from $1.4xmil
• 3 Bedroom starts from $2.2xmil
• 4 Bedroom starts from $3.6xmil
• 4 Bedroom Premium starts from $4.5xmil

Based on the land bid by Guocoland and Hong Leong, it translates to an estimated breakeven cost of $2,268psf.  After factor in the 20% profit margin, the selling price would be above $2,722psf.

Meanwhile, the other project at the Guoco Midtown I, Midtown Bay had been transacted as low as $2,438psf to as high as $3,804psf.  We noticed that those transacted over $3,000psf were the 1 and 2-bedroom units.

From the locality perspective, Midtown Modern should be a better location than Midtown Bay due to the direct access to the Bugis MRT interchange.

Hence, if both priced the same, seems like Midtown Modern would be a better choice right?

However, do take note that their TOP date is 3 years apart (Midtown Bay – 2022 and Midtown Modern – 2025).

In conclusion,  if you are looking for your own stay, you may want to compare the surrounding in depth.

In my opinion, if you are looking for an investment purpose, I would prefer Midtown Modern.
