Project Overview

Newport Residences is a freehold mixed-use development by City Developments Ltd. (CDL), located at 80 Anson Road in Singapore’s Downtown Core (District 2). 
It occupies the former site of the Fuji Xerox Towers, with a total site area of approximately 54,802 sq ft, and consists of residential units from levels 23 to 45 above the mixed-use podium. 
The development is designed to amalgamate residences, serviced apartments, offices and retail — giving residents convenience in the heart of the city.

Location & Connectivity

• Address: 80 Anson Road, Singapore 079907, in District 2 (Tanjong Pagar / Downtown Core)

• Nearest MRT: Tanjong Pagar MRT Station (East-West Line) ~6 minutes walk. Future station: Prince Edward Road MRT Station (Circle Line) ~3 minutes walk when completed.

• Road access: Close to major roads such as Anson Road, Keppel Road, and expressways such as AYE/MCE, enabling quick access to Orchard Road, Sentosa and other parts of Singapore.

• Surroundings: As part of the CBD and key redevelopment zone (including the upcoming Greater Southern Waterfront), the location is poised for transformation and long-term value.

Product & Features

• Tenure: Freehold — a rare offering in the core CBD region.

• Number of units: Around 246 residential units in the tower portion.

• Unit types: 1-bedroom to 4-bedroom units, including premium and penthouse units.

• Layout & design: Developed by CDL with architecture by ADDP Architects in collaboration with Nikken Sekkei; integrated mixed-use podium offering offices, serviced apartments and retail, creating convenience for residents. Facilities & views: Units from level 23 upward enjoy elevated city skyline and sea-views. There are also sky terraces, landscaped gardens, pool-level amenities, etc.

Investment & Appeal

• Location in the heart of the CBD gives strong appeal for both owner-occupiers and investors seeking prestige address, access to business, lifestyle and rental markets.

• Freehold tenure means long ownership horizon and attractive to buyers seeking legacy asset rather than short-term flip.

• Mixed-use development adds convenience (retail, F&B, serviced apartments) which enhances liveability and differentiation.

• The impending upgrade of the Tanjong Pagar/Anson precinct — including the Greater Southern Waterfront re-development — offers long-term upside potential.

• Scarcity of freehold new launches in such central location adds to investment appeal.

Price & Unit Summary

• Site details: 1 block, 23-45 storeys, site area ~54,802 sq ft.

• Unit breakdown: Example floor-plan data shows 1-bed (~431-495 sq ft), 2-bed (~646-753 sq ft), 3-bed (~980 sq ft) etc.

• Price market: As a freehold CBD development, pricing would reflect premium levels. (Exact launch price ranges may vary depending on stack/floor/view.)

• Availability: At time of data, number of units left includes 1-bed (86), 1-bed + study (22), 2-bed (24), etc.

Schools

While Newport Residences is located in the CBD and therefore less surrounded by the typical landed-estate school catchments, some schools in relative proximity include (within ~2 km radius):

• Outram Secondary School – servicing central region.

• Additional schools and tertiary institutions are accessible via good public transport given the central location.

Key Takeaways for Investors / Buyers

• Location premium: Freehold asset in a core CBD precinct (Tanjong Pagar/Anson) offers rarity and prestige.

• Freehold advantage: Few new-launch freehold units exist in the downtown area; therefore limited supply supports value retention.

• Flexibility: Unit mix from 1-bedroom to larger units means ability to suit investors, professionals, families.

• Hold horizon: Because this is a high-quantum, premium product with TOP ~2030, buyers should be comfortable with medium-to-long-term hold and manage costs accordingly.

• Unit selection matters: Higher floors, sea views, corner stacks will typically command premium — good for differentiation and resale.

• Tenant pool & rental appeal: With CBD location, professionals working in the area, expatriates and serviced-apartment synergy are positives for rental demand.

• For owner-occupiers: This is a lifestyle choice. For investors: expect premium pricing and likely longer holding time but strong asset value proposition.
