Midtown Modern is a 99-year leasehold integrated development located at 16 Tan Quee Lan Street in District 7 (D7). Situated within the Guoco Midtown in Bugis, Midtown Modern offers residents a unique blend of cultural heritage and the city centre’s modernity.

Residents also enjoy unrivalled access to all parts of Singapore, with the Bugis MRT station (EW12/DT14) at its doorstep. Its strategic location on the fringe of the Central Business District (CBD) also makes getting to work a breeze, even during peak hours. Midtown Modern’s largest selling point is its high connectivity to all parts of Singapore due to its strategic central location. All it takes is one escalator ride from the development’s Arrival Plaza to get to both the East West Line (EWL) and Downtown Line (DTL). Residents can conveniently access other major train lines, such as the Circle Line and the North-South Line, by taking a short walk to Esplanade MRT station (CC3) and City Hall MRT station (NS25/EW13), respectively. Those driving can conveniently access major expressways such as the Central Expressway (CTE), the East Coast Parkway (ECP), and the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE). All it takes is an eight-minute drive to work given Midtown Modern‘s proximity to Raffles Place.

Midtown Modern is a joint venture between GuocoLand, Hong Leong Holdings, and Hong Realty. Focusing primarily on property management, investment, and development, as well as hotel operations, GuocoLand has been publicly listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) since 1978. GuocoLand’s other reputable projects, such as Leedon Residence, Wallich Residence, and Sophia Residence, have won environmental sustainability awards, such as BCA’s Green Mark Award. Hong Leong Holdings and Hong Realty have spearheaded multiple projects both locally and across Asia. Notable developments under their belt include premium residential projects such as The Watermark, Aalto, and The Meyerise. Sitting on a site area of approximately 124,118 sq ft, Midtown Modern houses 558 residential units across two tower blocks 30 storeys high. Midtown Modern also comes with an integrated retail podium and presents residents with approximately 10 thematic gardens and landscaped areas. Units range from 1 to 5-bedders and penthouse units to cater to a wide range of buyer profiles. Recognising “the lifestyle preferences of homeowners today, who need larger homes with ample spaces for hosting and entertaining guests, as well as catering to a variety of living and home-working needs”, GuocoLand launched the “Midtown Modern Sky-Bungalow Collection”. The Sky-Bungalow Collection comprises six exclusive double-storey homes created by combining 4-room premium units stacked together. Situated on the highest floors of the North and South towers of Midtown Modern, Sky-Bungalow residents will be treated with panoramic views of Singapore’s cityscape. Units facing south can enjoy views of Marina Bay, while east-facing units will get views of the Kallang River. West-facing units will be presented with views of Orchard and Bukit Timah, while units facing Rochor Road will get views of the neighbouring Duo Residences. Located in D7, the condo falls under part of the core central region in the Bugis precinct. The central area is home to Singapore’s global business and financial hub and serves as a vibrant lifestyle destination for locals and visitors alike. Rejuvenating works in the pipeline will grow the area by diversifying land use to accommodate more jobs and business opportunities. The completion of the TEL in the central area by 2025 will also significantly boost connectivity to the city centre, further reinforcing the investment potential of the condo. Heritage-rich precincts in the area, such as Kampong Glam, Little India, and Chinatown, will further be injected with new life through continued place-making efforts in collaboration with local communities and businesses. While park spaces and streetscape improvements have been planned for D7 under the URA Master Plan 2019, new residential developments in the area will be far and few. The introduction of more office spaces in Bugis with the completion of Guoco Midtown and the redevelopment of Shaw Tower is expected to drive rental demand for homes in the area, including Midtown Modern. On the whole, with both the Bugis MRT station and a host of amenities readily available right at the doorstep, Midtown Modern is a promising development with high potential for capital gain and rental yields, particularly for those who appreciate the convenience of living in the city.
