Buona Vista-one-north: Singapore’s Silicon Valley
The Buona Vista-one-north precinct is Singapore’s most concentrated technology and knowledge economy hub. The 2km corridor between Buona Vista MRT (CCL/EWL interchange) and one-north MRT (CCL) hosts:
- Biopolis: 8 interconnected blocks housing A*STAR research institutes, biomedical MNCs (Novartis, Roche, Pfizer regional labs), and startup incubators
- Fusionopolis: InfoComm and media tech hub with global firms (EA, Ubisoft Singapore, ByteDance), NUS spinoffs, and deep tech startups
- INSEAD Asia Campus: World’s #2 MBA programme — generating executive rental demand from faculty, MBA students, and visiting scholars
- NUS (National University of Singapore): 5-min drive, feeding research talent into Biopolis ecosystem
- Rochester Park / Galaxis: Grade A tech office campuses with multinational tenants
New Launch Condo Pipeline: Buona Vista-one-north 2026
New launch supply in this precinct is scarce due to limited GLS sites and predominantly commercial/institutional zoning:
- One Holland Village (Sereen & Leven) — closest major new launch to Holland Village MRT (CCL), 5-min from one-north, 544 residential units combined
- Normanton Park — 1,862-unit mega-development near NUS, indicative resale from $1.8M for 3-bedroom
- GLS potential: Port Road and Portsdown Road sites adjacent to the one-north precinct

The Biomedical Tenant Premium: Why This Precinct Yields Well
Buona Vista’s most valuable tenant segment is biomedical researchers and tech executives:
- A*STAR researchers on Singapore government fellowships: stable 2–3 year tenancies, furnished unit preference
- Pharma MNC staff on corporate leases: $5,000–$10,000/month for 2–3 bedroom furnished units
- INSEAD MBA students and visiting faculty: 10–12 month academic leases, unfurnished acceptable
- Deep tech startup founders: Often funded by government grants, prefer proximity to Fusionopolis for networking
Indicative gross rental yields: 2.8%–3.6% for new launches, with high absolute rents and low vacancy from this captive professional tenant pool.
Holland Village Lifestyle Access: The Buona Vista Premium Driver
The 600m walk from one-north MRT to Holland Village MRT gives Buona Vista residents seamless access to Singapore’s premier expat lifestyle precinct — without paying Holland Village premium prices. This proximity arbitrage has historically sustained Buona Vista condo values at 80–90% of Holland Village pricing for equivalent unit sizes.
