one-north and Mediapolis around Hudson Place Residences

Hudson Place Residences stands in the middle of one-north, the district planned by JTC for research, technology and media, in its media quarter, Mediapolis. This guide describes the district’s parts and how close each one is, using the developer’s brochure and the distances on OneMap.

Mediapolis and Hudson Place Residences

Mediapolis is the part of one-north built for media and production, and Media Circle runs through its centre. Infinite Studios, the production studios at 21 and 23 Media Circle, are the immediate neighbour, about 100 metres from the site in a straight line, and the Mediacorp campus on Stars Avenue is about 430 metres away; the brochure gives about three minutes’ walk to it. The architect’s brief notes that from about the 7th storey of Block 18 the view opens over the studios.

The brochure’s map of the district marks the new private homes planned around Mediapolis and the offices and studios already there, with the Ayer Rajah Expressway along its southern edge.

Fusionopolis, Biopolis and the Business Parks near Hudson Place Residences

North of Mediapolis, Fusionopolis gathers technology and engineering firms; its Galaxis building is about 1.1 kilometres from the site, and the brochure gives about three minutes by bicycle to the offices there. Biopolis, the biomedical research cluster, is about 1.2 kilometres away, about four minutes by bicycle in the brochure’s table, and INSEAD’s Asia campus on Ayer Rajah Avenue is also about 1.2 kilometres away. The brochure lists The Metropolis at Buona Vista about five minutes away by bicycle and the Singapore Science Parks about six minutes’ drive.

Measured on OneMap (SLA) from the site; walking routes are longer.

Food and Green Space in one-north for Hudson Place Residences

For a meal near the offices, Timbre+ one-north, the food park at Ayer Rajah Food Centre, is about a kilometre from the site, and the brochure gives about four minutes by bicycle to it and to one-north Park, the strip of green that runs through the district. Galaxis and The Star Vista add shops and restaurants, and the Wessex Estate across Portsdown Road brings quieter cafés.

Hudson Place Residences at the Centre of one-north

The brochure’s theme is living at the centre of it all: being near where ideas are formed and careers advance, with less time spent commuting. For residents of Hudson Place Residences who work in the district, the walk or ride to work is short, and the Circle Line connects the rest of one-north. The MRT and transport guide covers the trains, and the Wessex Estate and Rail Corridor guide the green side of the neighbourhood.
