One Bernam
One Bernam is a 364-unit boutique-scale luxury condominium on Bernam Street in District 2 (Tanjong Pagar/CBD), jointly developed by MCC Land and Hao Yuan Investment on a 99-year lease commencing 2019, with TOP achieved in 2021. Sited at the gateway of the Tanjong Pagar precinct — the southern anchor of Singapore’s Central Business District — the project trades on CBD-core walkability, dual-MRT connectivity, and the post-pandemic Greater Southern Waterfront narrative published in the URA Master Plan.
This review evaluates One Bernam against the dimensions that matter for a Core Central Region (CCR) purchase: the 99-year lease runway (~93 years remaining at time of writing) per the URA tenure framework, the dual-MRT walkshed to Tanjong Pagar (EWL) and Maxwell (TEL), the boutique-scale facility load implied by a 364-unit floor-plate, and the comparative value against CCR peers Wallich Residence, Sky Everton, and 76 Shenton.

Snapshot as of 2026-05 — figures above reflect publicly available URA/HDB data at the time of this editorial review (as of 2026-05).
Tanjong Pagar sits at the southern edge of the Core Central Region (CCR) per URA Master Plan zoning, anchoring the Bernam Street–Tras Street–Anson Road triangle that the Greater Southern Waterfront masterplan identifies as the next-decade redevelopment frontier once Tanjong Pagar Container Terminal relocates to Tuas. The district price heatmap shows D2 as a stable CCR pocket where PSF sits a notch below the Orchard–Cairnhill (D9) and Marina Bay/Sentosa Cove (D1/D4) cores but well above OCR comparables, with luxury supply weighted toward 99-year leasehold rather than freehold.
Connectivity is the precinct’s defining feature: Tanjong Pagar MRT (EW15) on the East-West Line and Maxwell MRT (TE16) on the Thomson-East Coast Line are both within a 4–6 minute walk of One Bernam, delivering one-transfer access to Raffles Place, Orchard, Marina Bay, Bukit Timah, and Woodlands. Lau Pa Sat hawker centre, Tanjong Pagar Plaza, Maxwell Food Centre, and the Marina Bay financial district are all within a 10-minute walk. Green relief is thinner than mature OCR neighbourhoods but anchored by Pearl’s Hill City Park, Ann Siang Hill Park, and the upcoming Greater Southern Waterfront promenade extensions.
On lease economics: a 99-year tenure from 2019 leaves One Bernam with ~93 years remaining at time of writing, comfortably above the 60-year threshold where CPF and bank LTV haircuts begin to bite per MAS Notice 645. The CCR setting and dual-MRT positioning support a premium-rental thesis aimed at expatriate executives and dual-income professional households — segments where ABSD reform under the IRAS ABSD framework has materially compressed the foreign-buyer pool since April 2023. The side-by-side comparison tool and lease decay calculator let you model lease curve drag and yield differentials against freehold CCR peers.
Overview & Key Facts
One Bernam is a 364-unit mixed-use residential and commercial development at Bernam Street in District 2, completed in 2024 on a 99-year leasehold from 2019. With approximately 92 years remaining on the lease, the development occupies one of Singapore’s most actively transforming urban precincts — the Tanjong Pagar–CBD corridor, a district that has evolved from a colonial-era port and warehousing quarter into the city-state’s most dynamic inner-city lifestyle and business address.
Developed by MCC Land (Singapore) Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of the Beijing-headquartered state-owned China Metallurgical Corporation (MCC Group), One Bernam represents the company’s continued commitment to Singapore’s premium residential market following a well-regarded track record that includes M Suites, Canberra Residences, and Parc Botannia. The mixed-use ground-floor commercial podium, hotel-grade lobby, and curated resident amenity deck confirm the developer’s intent to deliver a product positioned at the lifestyle-forward CBD investor and urban professional segment rather than the conventional condominium market.
The 364 units are distributed across a single high-rise tower spanning 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom configurations — compact by historical CBD standards, but sized for the contemporary urban buyer who prioritises address and access over floor area. With an average transacted price of $2,133,942 (approximately $2,608 PSF) and an average rental of $5,224 per month, One Bernam’s data profile confirms both the premium commanded by its near-new CBD position and the robust tenant demand generated by its proximity to Singapore’s Central Business District employment core.
At $2,608 PSF, One Bernam sits firmly in the upper tier of District 2 leasehold pricing — a premium that prices in the new-build vintage, the mixed-use positioning, and the transforming Tanjong Pagar precinct premium. The implied gross yield of approximately 2.94% (based on $5,224/month rent against a $2,133,942 average price) is competitive for a new CBD leasehold development, where investor appeal centres on capital appreciation from precinct transformation and the perennial strength of CBD rental demand rather than yield maximisation.
Location & Connectivity
One Bernam sits at Bernam Street, a short road running off Tanjong Pagar Road in the heart of Singapore’s Central Business District. The address places residents in one of the city-state’s most geographically compressed districts: within a 10-minute walk, residents can access the traditional Tanjong Pagar conservation shophouse belt, Maxwell Food Centre, Ann Siang Hill’s boutique bar and restaurant quarter, the Marina Bay financial precinct, and the Raffles Place commercial core. This density of destinations within walking distance is essentially unique in Singapore’s residential market.
MRT connectivity is exceptional. Tanjong Pagar MRT (EW15) on the East West Line is approximately 400–500 metres from the development — a 5-minute walk to one of the CBD’s most well-connected interchange hubs, providing direct access to Raffles Place (1 stop), City Hall (2 stops), and Jurong East (30 minutes). The newer Shenton Way MRT (TE19) on the Thomson-East Coast Line, located on Shenton Way approximately 700 metres away, adds a second line to One Bernam’s MRT access profile. From Shenton Way, residents can reach Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands, and the eastern districts directly on the TEL, and connect to Stevens and Woodlands via the northern TEL corridor. Two MRT lines within comfortable walking distance from a single residential address is a connectivity benchmark that few Singapore CBD condominiums can match.
The Tanjong Pagar precinct that surrounds One Bernam is undergoing its most significant transformation since the conservation shophouse belt was gazetted in the 1980s. The former Tanjong Pagar Railway Station — Singapore’s historic terminus, now designated as a national monument — anchors a precinct-wide redevelopment that includes the Greater Southern Waterfront master plan, expected to transform the coastline from Pasir Panjang to Marina East into a new mixed-use urban precinct over the next two decades. For One Bernam buyers, this precinct transformation is a long-horizon capital appreciation thesis layered on top of the immediate CBD address premium.
The immediate lifestyle environment is already fully formed. Maxwell Food Centre — awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand for multiple stalls, most famously Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice — is a 5-minute walk. Ann Siang Hill’s restaurant and bar strip, Club Street’s boutique café and cocktail culture, and Amoy Street’s award-winning restaurant row are all within 10 minutes on foot. Duxton Hill, one of Singapore’s most photogenic and densely dining neighbourhoods, is approximately 400 metres away. The lifestyle density within walking distance of One Bernam is a genuine differentiator for urban buyers who prioritise walkable access over suburban quiet.

Facilities
As a purpose-designed urban lifestyle tower, One Bernam’s facilities deck is positioned to complement the mixed-use podium and hotel-grade lobby that define the development’s ground-level identity. The amenity offering includes a swimming pool, gymnasium, sky terrace with panoramic views, function rooms, co-working lounge, BBQ facilities, and a children’s pool. The mixed-use commercial component on the ground floor activates the street-level environment with F&B and retail tenants, reinforcing the development’s urban lifestyle positioning.
The sky terrace is One Bernam’s signature amenity feature: positioned at height in a CBD tower, it offers residents views toward Marina Bay and the city skyline that are inaccessible from ground-level residential developments. For an urban professional who has spent the day in a CBD office, the ability to take in city views from a residential amenity deck within the same precinct is a genuine quality-of-life proposition. The co-working lounge is a practical inclusion that acknowledges the hybrid work patterns of the development’s target demographic — remote-work professionals and CBD executives who need flexible work-from-home infrastructure.
“The lobby feels like a five-star hotel. The sky terrace views at night are spectacular — Marina Bay Sands, the CBD towers. For a CBD address at this price point, the facilities are genuinely impressive.”
— Resident review via PropertyGuru
The mixed-use ground floor is a facilities differentiator that conventional residential-only condominiums cannot replicate: resident access to ground-level commercial tenants without leaving the development effectively extends the on-site amenity offering beyond what the residential facilities deck alone delivers. At a CBD address where the surrounding precinct is already dense with dining and retail options, this podium activation reinforces rather than duplicates the neighbourhood offer.
Unit Sizes & Layout
One Bernam’s 364 units span a 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom configuration range, with the unit mix reflecting the development’s positioning as a CBD investor-grade and urban professional product. Unit sizes are compact by historical Singapore condominium standards — a deliberate design choice that keeps absolute quantum accessible for CBD address buyers while maintaining high PSF pricing consistent with the location premium. 1-bedroom units begin at approximately 441 sqft; 2-bedroom configurations range from approximately 700 to 861 sqft; and 3-bedroom units reach approximately 1,044 to 1,109 sqft. Dual-key configurations are available, providing rental flexibility for investors who want to simultaneously owner-occupy and generate rental income from a studio component.
The layouts reflect contemporary CBD high-rise design principles: efficient use of floor plate, full-height windows to maximise natural light and city views, and integrated kitchen designs suited to the urban lifestyle buyer who uses the nearby Maxwell Food Centre and Amoy Street restaurant row as much as a home kitchen. Ceiling heights are standard for a 2024-vintage tower. The finishings reflect the developer’s hotel-grade positioning — MCC Land has described the development as applying hospitality design standards to the residential unit, with high-specification kitchen appliances and bathroom fittings consistent with what international hotel brands specify for serviced residences.
High-floor units command significant premium over lower floors, reflecting the unobstructed city and marina views available from the tower’s upper levels. Units facing Marina Bay deliver arguably Singapore’s most iconic residential view: the Marina Bay Sands integrated resort, the Marina Bay waterfront, and the Central Business District skyline. For investment-grade units intended for the short-stay or serviced residence segment, this view premium is a material rental and resale differentiator.
The dual-key configuration is worth specific attention for investor-buyers. By permitting a studio and main apartment to be separately tenanted, dual-key units at One Bernam allow investors to generate two income streams from a single ownership title — a structure particularly relevant in the CBD rental market, where short-stay serviced residence demand from relocating professionals and corporate tenants is concentrated. The $5,224 average monthly rent reflects the blended profile; individual dual-key rental yields may exceed the development average for investors who optimise unit configuration and tenant profile.

Neighbourhood Comparison
The most structurally relevant comparison for One Bernam is Altez at Enggor Street, a 280-unit 99-year leasehold completed in 2014 in the same Tanjong Pagar–Shenton Way micro-market. Altez transacts at approximately $2,100–$2,300 PSF — a $300–$500 PSF discount to One Bernam that reflects its older vintage (2014 versus 2024) and shorter remaining lease (~87 years versus ~92 years). For buyers who prioritise proven leasing track record and a slightly lower entry point over the newest-build premium, Altez offers comparable CBS address exposure with a 10-year longer occupancy history.
Icon at Gopeng Street is a 646-unit 99-year leasehold completed in 2007, one of the pioneering mixed-use residential towers in the Tanjong Pagar CBD transformation. Icon transacts at approximately $1,600–$1,900 PSF, meaningfully below One Bernam, reflecting its older vintage (2007 versus 2024), 2000s-era unit specifications, and shorter remaining lease of approximately 80 years. Icon’s larger unit count and longer leasing history provide more transaction depth for comparison analysis, but the specification gap between a 2007 and 2024 tower is material for buyers who value contemporary finishings and modern amenity standards.
V on Shenton at Shenton Way is a 510-unit mixed-use tower completed in 2016, offering a more recent vintage comparison at approximately $2,000–$2,200 PSF. Like One Bernam, V on Shenton operates a mixed-use commercial podium and is positioned at the CBD professional and investor segment. The ~$400–$600 PSF premium One Bernam commands over V on Shenton reflects the newer build (2024 versus 2016), the Bernam Street address’s proximity to the Tanjong Pagar conservation and Duxton Hill lifestyle belt, and the near-new lease term.
For buyers considering freehold CBD alternatives, Skysuites@Anson on Enggor Street — a freehold tower completed in 2014 — offers a permanent tenure CBD address at approximately $2,200–$2,500 PSF. The freehold premium at this PSF level is relatively narrow compared to the wider Singapore residential market, reflecting the CBD’s historically leasehold-dominant supply profile and the strong investor demand that supports leasehold CBD assets at near-freehold PSF levels. For buyers who specifically want freehold title in the CBD, Skysuites@Anson is the most direct comparable; for buyers who are indifferent to tenure over a 30-year hold horizon, One Bernam’s newer build and 92-year lease are strong arguments for accepting the leasehold structure.
| Development | Tenure | TOP | Units | ~Avg PSF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ONE BERNAM | 99 yrs lease commencing from 2019 | 2021 | 364 | $2,587 |
| NEWPORT RESIDENCES | Freehold | 2026 | 487 | $3,128 |
| ICON | 99 yrs lease commencing from 2002 | 2007 | 646 | $1,791 |
| SKYSUITES@ANSON | 99 yrs lease commencing from 2008 | — | 360 | $2,230 |
| SKY EVERTON | Freehold | 2021 | 262 | $2,800 |
| SPOTTISWOODE RESIDENCES | Freehold | 2014 | 351 | $2,204 |
Lease Decay Analysis
The 99-year lease runs from 2019, meaning approximately 7 years have already been consumed. Roughly 92 years remain — still comfortably within the range where most banks will offer full financing without restrictions.
| Year | Lease remaining | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 (now) | ~92 years | Full bank financing available |
| 2049 | ~69 years | CPF usage still unrestricted for most buyers |
| 2058 | ~59 years | Approaching 60-year threshold — CPF limits begin for some |
| 2078 | ~39 years | Significant financing restrictions for next buyer |
| 2118 | Expiry | Lease reverts to state |
For a buyer purchasing today with a 10-year horizon (exit around 2036), the lease situation is essentially a non-issue — you’d be selling a property with ~82 years remaining, which is still very bankable. The risk profile changes for longer holds.

What Residents Say
“Living here feels like being in a city hotel that you own. Everything is at your doorstep — Maxwell for breakfast, Duxton Hill for dinner, Tanjong Pagar MRT for everything else. The Shenton Way TEL station around the corner makes the connectivity unbeatable.”
— Owner review via PropertyGuru
“The lobby and sky terrace are genuinely premium. The views from the upper floors toward Marina Bay are some of the best in any Singapore residential building. As an investment property the rental demand is strong — my unit was tenanted within two weeks of TOP.”
— Investor-owner review via EdgeProp
“We are expats renting here. The location is ideal — I walk to my office in Tanjong Pagar and my partner cycles to Raffles Place. Maxwell Food Centre is our regular breakfast spot. The unit is compact for a family but perfectly fine for a couple.”
— Tenant review via 99.co
“The Tanjong Pagar neighbourhood keeps getting better. New bars and restaurants opening every month. For a young professional this is the best address in Singapore at any budget — you live in the city rather than commuting to it.”
— Resident review via SRX
The resident and tenant feedback pattern at One Bernam is consistent: strong satisfaction with the CBD walkability, the dual MRT access, and the Tanjong Pagar lifestyle precinct; acknowledgement that the compact unit sizes make the development better suited to couples and urban professionals than to families with children; and broad appreciation for the hotel-grade lobby and sky terrace amenity positioning. Investors report strong rental demand and fast leasing velocity consistent with the development’s proximity to Singapore’s CBD employment core. The tenant profile skews toward expatriate professionals, finance and legal sector executives, and young Singaporean professionals who prioritise urban lifestyle access over space.
1. CBD-core dual-MRT positioning. Tanjong Pagar MRT (EWL) and Maxwell MRT (TEL) within a 4–6 minute walk gives One Bernam a dual-line walkshed that few CCR projects can match. The TEL connection (opened 2022) layers in direct access to Orchard via Napier and Newton, and a one-transfer ride to Woodlands North, materially improving the rental-tenant catchment for north-shuttle professionals.
2. Premium CBD walkability for daily living. Lau Pa Sat, Maxwell Food Centre, Tanjong Pagar Plaza, and the Marina Bay financial district are all sub-10-minute walks. For dual-income professional tenants and owner-occupiers who value zero-commute access to the CBD, this concentration of work, F&B, and transit infrastructure is the structural appeal of D2 versus OCR rental product.
3. Greater Southern Waterfront optionality. The URA Master Plan earmarks the Tanjong Pagar waterfront for residential, commercial, and recreational redevelopment once the container terminal relocates to Tuas (target ~2027 onward). One Bernam sits within the immediate hinterland of this redevelopment, providing a 10-to-20-year optionality kicker that freehold buyers in mature districts cannot replicate.
4. Lease runway is comfortable. At 99 years from 2019, ~93 years remaining at time of writing means lease curve discounts do not bite within the realistic resale horizon for a 2026 buyer (~25 years). CPF and bank LTV apply at full headline rates per MAS Notice 645.
5. TEL connectivity is still re-rating. The Thomson-East Coast Line is not fully open; Stages 5–6 will extend the line east through East Coast and Marine Parade. Maxwell MRT’s value as a TEL interchange will compound as the line completes — a structural tailwind not fully priced in at TOP.
1. 364-unit boutique scale dilutes facility load. A 364-unit floor-plate is small for a CCR luxury project — comparable projects like Sky Everton (262 units) and 76 Shenton are similarly compact, but the facility-cost-per-unit math means MCST contributions can run higher than larger 500–800-unit developments. Buyers should examine the MCST budget and sinking-fund trajectory carefully — the cash flow calculator should explicitly model maintenance fee escalation.
2. CBD foreign-buyer ABSD constraints. Singapore’s April 2023 ABSD reform pushed the foreigner ABSD rate to 60%, structurally compressing the traditional CCR foreign-buyer pool that previously underpinned premium-rental absorption in D1/D2/D4/D9. Resale liquidity at the top end of the D2 price band depends heavily on dual-income SC/PR professional households and Singapore-incorporated investment vehicles — a thinner pool than the pre-2023 market.
3. 99-year leasehold versus freehold CCR alternatives. Within walking distance, freehold options like 76 Shenton and the older Tanjong Pagar conservation shophouse stock offer perpetual tenure. One Bernam’s 99LH (~93 years remaining) will trade at a structural discount to freehold peers, and lease-curve sensitivity will grow as the project ages past year 30. Model the spread carefully via the lease decay calculator.
4. Post-TOP price discovery is still maturing. TOP in 2021 means One Bernam has only ~5 years of secondary-market data at time of writing, much of it captured during the post-pandemic CCR re-rating that lifted CBD-fringe PSF substantially. Sustained price discovery through a full rate cycle is still pending — the price heatmap shows how volatile recent transaction PSF has been.
5. East-West Line congestion and TEL execution risk. Tanjong Pagar MRT sits on the heavily loaded EWL, with morning-peak crowding well-documented at Tanjong Pagar and Outram Park. TEL Stages 5–6 timeline slippage would delay the Maxwell-interchange re-rating thesis. Neither risk is project-specific but both factor into the rental-yield underwriting for D2 CBD product.
Good fit: Dual-income professional SC/PR households earning S$25k+ combined who prioritise zero-commute CBD access, value the TEL re-rating optionality at Maxwell, and want CCR exposure without the Orchard/Marina Bay quantum premium. Owner-occupier financial-sector professionals, lawyers, and consultants whose office sits within the Marina Bay/Raffles Place/Tanjong Pagar triangle capture the maximum walkability dividend. Investors with a 10–15-year horizon who underwrite a Greater Southern Waterfront completion thesis and tolerate 99LH lease-curve risk also fit.
Marginal fit: Family buyers with school-age children — D2 has thinner primary-school catchment than mature OCR or D10/D11 districts, and the precinct’s green-space provision is below mature-estate norms. Foreign buyers face the 60% ABSD layer per IRAS ABSD rules, which materially distorts the entry-yield math — only viable for buyers with a structural reason to be in Singapore CCR (PR pathway, long-stay employment).
Poor fit: Buyers seeking freehold tenure (consider 76 Shenton or D9/D10 freehold alternatives via the comparison tool), households needing material green space and family-amenity provision, yield-chasing investors comparing against suburban OCR product (the CCR yield discount is structural, not a mispricing), and buyers below the S$2M–S$3M quantum band who would be better served by D3 or D5 alternatives. Households relying on a single income should stress-test MSR and TDSR caps from MAS Notice 645 against CCR-grade quantum — the affordability ceiling can bite.
Verdict: a coherent CCR pick for CBD-core professional households with a 10–15 year horizon. One Bernam’s structural appeal sits in three places: the dual-MRT walkshed combining EWL and TEL within minutes of the door, the Greater Southern Waterfront redevelopment optionality embedded in the URA Master Plan, and the daily-living density of Lau Pa Sat, Maxwell, and Tanjong Pagar Plaza that supports both owner-occupier quality of life and premium-rental absorption. For dual-income professionals working in the Marina Bay/Raffles Place corridor, the commute mathematics alone can justify the CCR PSF premium.
The honest constraints are the 364-unit boutique scale (facility-load math runs higher per unit than mid-scale projects), the post-April-2023 ABSD reform that has compressed the foreign-buyer pool that historically supported D2 rental absorption, the 99LH tenure versus freehold CCR alternatives still on the market, and the still-maturing post-TOP price discovery through a full rate cycle. Buyers should size their loan against TDSR (55%) per MAS Notice 645, model the full ABSD layering for their citizenship status, and explicitly factor the lease-curve trajectory beyond year 30 of remaining tenure.
If your household has the dual-income capacity, values direct CBD walkability and TEL connectivity, and has the conviction to underwrite a 10-to-20-year Greater Southern Waterfront completion thesis, One Bernam is a credible CCR purchase that should compound on infrastructure delivery. If you need freehold tenure, material green space, or yield parity with OCR product, the value proposition fits a different decision frame — CCR product is designed for a different buyer.

How does One Bernam compare to Wallich Residence and Sky Everton?
All three are CCR 99-year leasehold luxury condominiums on the southern CBD fringe. Wallich Residence sits atop Tanjong Pagar Centre with super-luxury sky-condo positioning and a smaller unit count; Sky Everton (D2, ~262 units, TOP 2023) is the closest direct peer on tenure, segment, and timing. One Bernam differentiates on the Maxwell MRT (TEL) proximity that Wallich and Sky Everton do not match equivalently. Use the side-by-side comparison for current PSF and tenure deltas.
What ABSD applies for foreign buyers?
Per the IRAS ABSD framework as amended in April 2023, foreigners pay 60% ABSD on residential purchases. PRs pay 5% (first property) or 30% (second). Singapore Citizens pay 0% (first), 20% (second), or 30% (third and subsequent). The 60% foreign-buyer rate has materially compressed the CCR luxury-rental absorption thesis that previously underpinned D2.
What loan caps apply for a CCR purchase?
TDSR is capped at 55% per MAS Notice 645. LTV starts at 75% for the first housing loan (cash + CPF down-payment of 25%, of which at least 5% in cash) and drops to 45% for the second housing loan and 35% for the third. Foreign buyers and corporate purchases face additional CPF restrictions. Always stress-test against a 4% TDSR floor rate.
