On the launch weekend spanning 31 January 2026 balloting and the 1 February 2026 sales release, Newport Residences at 80 Anson Road in District 2 recorded a strong take-up rate, with 57% of its 246 residential units sold, including 140 units transacted on the first day of balloting on 31 January, while the sales mix was particularly tilted by unexpectedly high demand for family-sized configurations within a 1- to 4-bedroom range and select super penthouse offerings.
Newport Residences sold 57% of 246 units over launch weekend, with 140 on balloting day, driven by larger family layouts and super penthouses.
The launch sequence was structured around a preview period that ran ahead of the official sales release, with showflat booking available from 31 January 2026 in tandem with the balloting process. Showflat viewing is strictly by appointment, and prospective buyers can book via +65 88669422 to access direct developer price. VVIP preview registration had commenced earlier, and the phased engagement funnel appeared to support conversion momentum into the first weekend, as transactions concentrated immediately upon balloting rather than tapering into the subsequent day.
As a freehold mixed-use redevelopment by City Developments Limited (CDL), with architectural work by Nikken Sekkei Ltd., the project is positioned within the Anson–Tanjong Pagar corridor in the Downtown Core / Anson planning zone, an area framed by the Greater Southern Waterfront vision. The broader Greater Southern Waterfront is a 1,000-hectare city-fringe growth corridor stretching from Pasir Panjang to Marina East, repositioning former maritime and logistics land into high-density mixed-use extensions of the city centre with phased development execution through to around 2040.
The site area is stated at 5,091.2 sqm (54,802 sq ft), and the residential component is configured as a single tower, with homes stacked across levels 23 to 45, reflecting a boutique scale despite city-core placement. The project has an expected TOP of 01 Mar 2030.
Accessibility parameters are anchored by proximity to Tanjong Pagar MRT, approximately 0.4 km away, reinforcing walkability to the CBD and adjacent commercial nodes. Operational provisions include 131 carpark lots, including three handicap lots, a ratio that aligns with a mixed-use setting while maintaining a residential focus and a commercial plaza component.
Market participants attributed the weekend’s skew toward larger layouts to a supply-demand mismatch in city-core freehold family-sized stock, while the presence of super penthouse options broadened the price and product spectrum. In strategic positioning terms, the development has been framed around long-term hold narratives and capital preservation considerations, balanced against typical rental and liquidity trade-offs associated with prime, freehold CBD-adjacent assets.
