Singapore’s Master Plan is the statutory document governing land use for the next 10–15 years. For property buyers, it’s the single most important public document: it reveals which plots will be intensified, rezoned or redeveloped. Here’s the One-North chapter, translated from planner-speak.
Headline: One-North Is Being Densified
The 2025 Master Plan reaffirms One-North as a key innovation and business cluster, with additional gross floor area (GFA) allocated across Fusionopolis, Biopolis and Mediapolis. Residential plot ratios around the periphery have been raised to support the expanded workforce.
What This Means Practically
- More jobs — GFA expansion translates into 10,000+ new knowledge-worker jobs over the next decade.
- Tighter residential supply relative to that workforce, pushing rental demand.
- Upgraded amenities — JTC and URA have flagged additional F&B, childcare and retail quota.
- Transport investment — Circle Line Stage 6 closes the loop, and the future Cross Island Line will serve Clementi.
Specific Growth Drivers
Fusionopolis West
New plots allocated to semiconductor and deeptech tenants. Expect higher-salary workforce concentration.
one-north Gateway
Mixed-use intensification around Buona Vista MRT. Future retail and F&B upgrades likely.
Mediapolis
Additional studio and post-production capacity — secondary workforce of creative professionals, often single-tenant landlords’ best rental segment.
Residential Implications
URA has been selective about releasing residential GLS sites inside One-North. Slim Barracks Rise (home to The Hill @ One-North) is one of the few residential plots within the precinct — which is the structural reason for the project’s scarcity premium.
What to Watch Next
- Future GLS tenders on adjacent Slim Barracks Rise and Portsdown parcels.
- Announcements on Rail Corridor adaptive reuse.
- Further CC Line frequency upgrades.
Investment Takeaway
The combination of (1) continued workforce expansion, (2) tight residential supply and (3) government investment in transport is textbook “buy the cluster early.” Buyers with a 5–10 year horizon are positioning ahead of the supply curve.
