Connectivity to three MRT stations, direct access to restaurants on the ground floor and unmatched views of the sea and city — Newport Residences has it all. A rare freehold property at the nexus of the Central Business District (CBD) and the future Greater Southern Waterfront, the 215m-tall mixed-use development by City Developments (CDL) showcases the enduring appeal of a prime location.

Located near the existing Tanjong Pagar MRT Station, the upcoming Newport Residences will boast easy access to Prince Edward Road MRT Station and is just down the street from Cantonment MRT Station — two of three stations that will open in 1H2026 and complete the Circle Line loop between HarbourFront and Marina Bay MRT Stations.

Newport Residences is seamlessly integrated into the CBD and the Marina Bay Financial District, thanks to its Anson Road address right at the heart of Tanjong Pagar in District 2.

Families with school-going children will also note the proximity to Cantonment Primary School and CHIJ (Kellock).

Plans to revitalise the Downtown area will further enhance its attractiveness not only for work, but also for living and play. Formerly the site of the Fuji Xerox Towers, Newport Residences will face the future Greater Southern Waterfront, a continuous promenade stretching from Marina Bay to Pasir Panjang that will undoubtedly be a premier waterfront destination brimming with recreational opportunities.

Newport Residences occupies the very top of Newport Plaza. This mixed-use development will also comprise serviced apartments from levels 10 to 22, Grade A offices from levels two to nine, and F&B establishments on the ground floor.

Newport Residences is designed by renowned Japanese architecture firm Nikken Sekkei, in collaboration with local firm ADDP Architects. Described as a “small vertical town”, Newport Plaza celebrates the “work, live, play” concept and prioritises the well-being of office workers and residents alike.

Each component of the mixed-use development will also be served by dedicated lift lobbies, ensuring efficient movement for residents and visitors of Newport Plaza.

By carving multiple break-out spaces like stepped roof terraces, sky terraces and sky gardens at different levels, each component of Newport Plaza has its own communal space.

The design, which mimics “cascading gardens”, interweaves nature and building — creating a healthy building ecosystem while minimising solar heat gain.

The residential component comprises 246 units, spread across levels 23 to 45 with a Super Penthouse on the top floor. With typical apartment configurations of up to four-bedroom units, the majority of homes at Newport Residences are one- or two-bedroom apartments, offering spectacular views of the city and the sea for selected units.

All residents will enjoy a suite of premier residential services, including delivery acceptance, transport, housekeeping arrangements and restaurant reservations, subject to service fees.

Newport Residences features four landscaped lifestyle gardens, spanning the residential storeys: a Play Garden on level 25, a Wellness Garden on level 29, a Fitness Garden on level 37, and a Horizon Garden on level 41.

These are thoughtfully positioned at different corners, each offering a unique view of the surrounding skyline.

Residents can also unwind at two dedicated levels of lifestyle facilities. Newport Residences’ Club Vista on level 34 features a gym, lounge and co-working and dining spaces; while the Newport Sky roof garden houses pools for children and adults.

Also situated on the rooftop are BBQ facilities and the Sky Club, a multi-purpose event space perfect for hosting.

Newport Plaza is the first private residential and mixed-use development to receive the prestigious BCA Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy Award.

A solar photovoltaic system is expected to replace 30% of energy consumption in selected residential common areas such as the function rooms, gymnasium and swimming pool.

That focus on efficiency also extends into residential units. Each residence is equipped with smart home features, including app-controlled air conditioning, lighting, surveillance and doorbells.

Homeowners who love to entertain will delight in their fully equipped kitchen, featuring designer appliances from V-Zug and Liebherr that elevate even the simplest meal.

An oven-cum-steamer is provided for three-bedroom units, while four-bedroom premium units are equipped with an oven and a steamer.

Those in four-bedroom premium units will also receive an undercounter wine chiller and a dishwasher.

Living areas feature fine marble flooring, while engineered timber is used in the bedrooms, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere in the private corners of your home. These are elegantly appointed with fittings from Dornbracht and Duravit.

A spacious, freestanding long bath is even provided in the four-bedroom premium units.
