Reserved for the few: Discover the Penthouse Collection at Bloomsbury Residences

There is a certain appeal to coming home above it all — to expansive living spaces, wide balconies, and a home designed not simply around everyday needs, but around the way one aspires to live.

At Bloomsbury Residences in Media Circle, that experience is embodied by its exclusive Penthouse Collection, where expansive layouts and elevated spaces offer a distinctive take on city-fringe living.

The 358-unit development has been well received since its launch, with more than 90% of its homes sold and just 28 units remaining across the development. Among the remaining choices are its penthouses and four-bedroom-plus-flexi homes, giving buyers looking for larger residences a final opportunity to make Bloomsbury Residences their home.

Developed by Media Circle Development — a joint venture among Qingjian Realty, Forsea Holdings, ZACD Group and Jianan Capital — Bloomsbury Residences comprises three residential towers and is the first high-rise residential development with shops in Mediapolis.

Penthouse living, elevated

The four-bedroom penthouse spans 1,345 sq ft and is priced from $3.605 million, or $2,680 psf — an attractive entry point for a penthouse in the Rest of Central Region.

The single-level home has a higher 3.1m ceiling, enhancing the sense of space across its wide living and dining area. This opens onto an equally broad balcony, extending the communal area for entertaining or simply unwinding at home.

A gourmet kitchen features a wide opening that allows it to integrate with the living and dining areas, giving homeowners greater freedom to personalise the space.

For larger households, the five-bedroom penthouses range from 1,668 to 1,916 sq ft, with prices from $4.47 million (2,680 psf).

Their layouts emphasise wide living and dining frontages, generous balconies and adaptable study or flexi spaces. Selected configurations feature island-style dry kitchens and powder rooms, while master suites come with walk-in wardrobes, bathtubs and double sinks.

The development’s two largest six-bedroom penthouses have been sold at $2,700 psf, including one sold on launch day, demonstrating demand for its largest homes.

Premium appliances further complement the interiors, including Miele kitchen appliances, and Axor bathroom fittings by Hansgrohe.

Space for families to grow

Beyond the penthouses, the remaining larger homes include 1,421 sq ft, four-bedroom-plus-flexi units, planned with privacy and adaptability in mind.

A private lift opens into a dedicated lobby, while a wide living area extends towards a large balcony. Wet and dry kitchens cater to different cooking and entertaining needs, and the master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe.

A flexi space can become a home office or shared workspace, while removable walls allow parts of the home to be reconfigured as a family’s needs evolve.

With just 358 units, residents can enjoy the development’s range of facilities in a relatively low-density setting, with fewer households sharing the common spaces. These include a 50m lap pool, family and social pools, tennis court, gym, function room, clubhouses, co-working spaces and private work pods. Bloomsbury Shoppes, with retail and F&B spaces located within the development, adds to the everyday convenience.

At the heart of one-north’s transformation

For owner-occupiers, Bloomsbury Residences’ appeal extends beyond the home.

Media Circle is part of the wider transformation of one-north, Singapore’s research, technology and innovation hub. The area is home to more than 400 companies spanning biomedical sciences, infocomm technology and media, while the upcoming Kampong AI is set to further strengthen the district’s position as an employment hub.

Families are also close to an established education belt that includes Tanglin Trust School, Fairfield Methodist School, Anglo-Chinese Junior College and the National University of Singapore.

The area’s evolution is set to continue. Plans for one-north and the wider Queenstown area include more housing in Dover and Mediapolis, alongside additional shops, eateries and community spaces. For residents, this creates the prospect of living close to both world-class employment and education opportunities while remaining surrounded by established neighbourhoods.

Closer to home, Fusionopolis offers retail and dining options, while The Star Vista and Buona Vista MRT Station are about a seven-minute drive away, while one-north MRT station is a 10-minute walk away.

Holland Village and Dempsey Hill are approximately nine minutes away. Residents will also enjoy a shuttle service to the MRT station during the development’s first year.

Majority of homeowners will enjoy open views towards the low-rise Wessex Estate, bringing greenery into a setting closely connected to one-north’s urban and employment nodes.

The project’s strong take-up provides another indication of buyer confidence in Media Circle. According to the developer, buyers have largely been professionals, managers, executives and technicians, with Singapore citizens and permanent residents forming the core buyer profile.

There is a broader pricing context. Bloomsbury Residences’ site was acquired in 2024 for $395.29 million, or about $1,191 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr). In comparison, the nearby Dover Drive residential and commercial site was awarded in March for $951 million, or about $1,556 psf ppr — around 31% higher.

Market watchers have estimated that the future development at Dover Drive could see starting prices of between $2,750 psf and $3,100 psf. Against this backdrop, the remaining penthouses at Bloomsbury Residences, priced from $2,680 psf, present buyers with an attractive entry point into a larger home within the wider one-north area.

Construction at Bloomsbury Residences is also progressing well. For families planning their next move in the near future, the development offers the opportunity to secure a new home within an established and growing precinct, with a shorter wait ahead compared with buying into a project at an earlier stage of construction.

For those looking to make Media Circle their next home, the remaining penthouses and four-bedroom-plus-flexi residences combine space and exclusivity with the opportunity to live at the heart of one-north’s continuing transformation.
