Peck Hay Road: A Location and Connectivity Guide to the Newton GLS Condo

By Davis Ng ·

Peck Hay Road sits in one of the most quietly prized pockets of District 9 — a short, leafy road off the Cairnhill and Newton fringe, minutes from Orchard yet set back from its bustle. The upcoming 99-year leasehold private condominium here, a CDL and Hong Leong Group project of around 315 homes rising to a planned 39 storeys, is one of the more closely watched core-central launches of the cycle. This guide covers the location, the connectivity, the schools, and what the tender result tells us about likely pricing — with every market figure attributed to a named source.

As always, the developer's official price and floor plans are not yet released, so treat the analyst figures below as sourced estimates, not the launch price. The confirmed numbers will appear on our price page as soon as CDL publishes them.

Where exactly is Peck Hay Road?

Peck Hay Road runs off the Newton and Cairnhill area in prime District 9, the heart of Singapore's traditional prime residential belt. The setting is the appeal: an established low-rise enclave wrapped by greenery and good-class bungalow land, yet within a few minutes of both the Orchard shopping belt and the Novena medical and lifestyle cluster. For buyers who want a central address without sitting directly on a main shopping artery, this in-between position is exactly the draw.

Connectivity: Newton MRT on the doorstep

The standout connectivity fact is the distance to Newton MRT — roughly 210 metres, about a three-minute walk. Newton is an interchange between two lines, which is what gives this address its reach:

From Newton MRTLineWhat it unlocks
City and Marina Bay directionNorth-South Line (NSL)Direct to Orchard, Dhoby Ghaut, City Hall and Marina Bay
Cross-island directionDowntown Line (DTL)Direct to Bugis, the CBD at Downtown, and out to Bukit Timah and the east

An interchange a three-minute walk away means a resident reaches Orchard in a single stop and the Marina Bay financial core without a transfer, while the Downtown Line opens a second, separate corridor across the island. For a core-central home, that dual-line access is a meaningful part of the long-run value, not just a convenience.

By road

Orchard Road's malls — ION Orchard, Paragon and Ngee Ann City — are about a five-minute drive, as are the Novena and Velocity health and lifestyle cluster and United Square. The Central Expressway (CTE) is close for trips north and to the city.

Schools: an established District 9 catchment

One of Peck Hay Road's enduring strengths is its school catchment — a cluster of long-established names within the distance bands that drive Primary One priority. Always confirm exact distances on the MOE school finder before relying on them:

  • Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) — within 1 km.
  • Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) — within 1 km.
  • Singapore Chinese Girls' Primary School (SCGS) — within 1–2 km.
  • St. Joseph's Institution Junior — within 2 km.

Having two ACS campuses within the 1 km band is a genuine differentiator for families, and a factor that tends to support resale demand in this pocket over time.

What the tender tells us about pricing

The Peck Hay Road GLS site drew strong interest. The tender closed on 11 June 2026, and the CDL and Hong Leong joint venture submitted the top bid of S

,865 per square foot per plot ratio — about S$542.4 million — at the top of four bids. Land cost is the single biggest input into a launch price, so analysts moved quickly to model the likely range. Here is what they project, attributed to source:

AnalystProjected guide
DBSBreakeven around S$3,200–3,300 psf; launch in the mid-to-high S$3,000 psf range
CBREAverage around S$3,450–3,550 psf
ERAAt least around S$3,500 psf
Knight FrankAverage around S$3,700–3,900 psf

These are independent projections, not the developer's price. The actual launch pricing will reflect construction costs, the unit mix and market conditions at launch, and CDL has not released it. We will not speculate beyond what analysts have published; the official figures will go on the price page, and you can request the e-brochure and floor plans the moment they are out.

The developer

CDL and the wider Hong Leong Group are among Singapore's most established developers, with a core-central and city-fringe track record that includes Tembusu Grand, Newport Residences, The Myst, Norwood Grand, Republic Plaza and South Beach. For a prime-district project where execution and finishing standards matter to resale, that track record is part of the underwriting.

What to do now, before launch

Because this is a private condominium rather than an EC, your borrowing is assessed under the 55% Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) rather than the MSR — there is no income ceiling. The useful preparation is to size your budget honestly against the analyst ranges above and your own financing. Run the numbers on our mortgage calculator, and read the financing page for the loan and stamp-duty mechanics on a core-central purchase.

  • Set a realistic budget using the sourced analyst ranges, not a hopeful one.
  • Get financing in principle so you can move on booking day.
  • Register for first-day information via our showflat registration for floor plans, unit mix and indicative pricing, and watch balance units for availability.

Peck Hay Road's case is built on durable fundamentals: a three-minute walk to a two-line MRT interchange, an established prime-district school catchment, and an Orchard-fringe address with a credible developer. Verified milestones will be posted on our registration status page as they land.
