He cited the Pinery Residences and Vela Bay, developments that breached the S$2,500 psf threshold.Hudson Place Residences presents an attractive entry opportunity into the Rest of Central Region market, noted Fong.PropNex estimates the prices of future such launches to be 20 to 30 per cent higher than the current pricing at Hudson Place Residences amid rising land and construction costs.Sustained momentumAgainst this backdrop, the real estate company expects continued sales momentum for the development in the months ahead.On top of its proximity to one-north, Hudson Place Residences is also situated near major employment nodes, such as the Science Park, the National University of Singapore and the National University Hospital.The project is also close to schools such as Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) and Fairfield Methodist School, as well as retail offerings at Star Vista and One Holland Village.Fong concluded that Hudson Place Residences will likely be the final major new launch for the second quarter of this year before the market enters the quieter June school holiday period.He added that market activity is expected to pick up again next quarter, with several launches lined up, including Lentor Gardens Residences and Dunearn House.Decoding Asia newsletter: your guide to navigating Asia in a new global order.
