FAQ
“What’s actually left to buy, and what does it cost?”
Midtown Bay is a completed building, so what is on offer here is developer stock in a finished tower rather than an off-plan purchase. You can walk the actual unit, on the actual floor, with the actual view, before you decide. Availability moves unevenly across a mix of 219 homes and 23 unit types, and several unit types run to only four units in the whole building, so a plan that interests you may come from a genuinely small pool. See the live table below for the current unit-by-unit breakdown.
| Type | Area Size (From) | Area Size (To) | Price (From) | Price (To) | Available Units | Total Units | Maintenance Fee (est.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom | 409 sqft | 527 sqft | $1,488,000 | $1,988,000 | 37 | 107 | $382.80 / mth |
| 2 Bedroom | 732 sqft | 775 sqft | $2,468,000 | $2,688,000 | 4 | 72 | $459.36 / mth |
| 2 Bedroom Duplex | 990 sqft | 1,152 sqft | $2,810,000 | $4,108,000 | 23 | 32 | $459.36 / mth |
| 3 Bedroom Duplex | 1,324 sqft | 1,324 sqft | $5,052,000 | $5,452,000 | 4 | 8 | $535.92 / mth |
| Total | 68 | 219 |
Midtown Bay is sold under the standard Progressive Payment Scheme used for private residential property in Singapore, tied to construction milestones rather than a single deferred lump sum. The schedule is set by the Housing Developers Rules and is the same for every private residential purchase in Singapore; it is set out in full, stage by stage, on our mortgage calculator page.
The practical difference at Midtown Bay is that the tower is finished, so every one of those construction milestones has already been reached. Rather than spreading across several years, the tranches up to and including TOP become payable together shortly after the Sale and Purchase Agreement is signed. That compresses the drawdown considerably compared with an off-plan launch, and it is the single most important thing to work through with a banker before committing. How much of each stage is met by cash, CPF or bank loan depends on your chosen loan quantum. This summary reflects the standard schedule and is not financial advice.
Payment is made into the project account rather than to the developer directly, which is the statutory protection every Singapore private residential purchase from a licensed developer carries. Midtown Bay holds its project account with DBS Bank Ltd, account number 003-700131-7, in the joint names of Midtown Bay Pte. Ltd. and Guoco Midtown Pte. Ltd.
The developer entity is Midtown Bay Pte. Ltd., company registration number 201725820H, holding Housing Developer’s Licence C1302.

219 homes inside a 950,600 sqft development that is mostly offices
Midtown Bay is not a standalone condominium. It is the residential component of Guoco Midtown, a S$2.4 billion mixed-use development occupying roughly 226,300 sqft of land at 120 to 130 Beach Road, at a plot ratio of 4.2 and a total gross floor area of approximately 950,600 sqft. Midtown Bay’s own share of that is approximately 163,330 sqft. The rest is Grade A office space, retail and food and beverage, a conserved colonial building, and a large amount of public realm.
Denton Corker Marshall’s design decision was to break the site into ten separate buildings rather than one mega-structure, ranging from single and two-storey retail pavilions up through the conserved three-storey former Beach Road Police Station and the five-storey Network Hub, to the office tower and the residential tower. Threaded between them are ten gardens and two large sheltered public squares, together making up roughly 170,000 sqft of landscape and public space, plus more than 34,000 sqft of vertical greenery.
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Midtown Bay (residential) | 1 tower, 33 storeys, approximately 130m, 219 units, approximately 163,330 sqft GFA |
| Guoco Midtown (office tower) | 30 storeys, 770,000 sqft GFA, floor plates of 27,000 to 30,000 sqft |
| Network Hub | 5-storey urban social and business club, approximately 80,000 sqft across five levels |
| Retail and F&B | Midtown Square, Midtown Market and Midtown House, approximately 32,290 sqft across 2 storeys |
| Midtown House | The conserved former Beach Road Police Station, 3 storeys |
| Midtown Square / Midtown Square | Approximately 10,100 sqft, about 14 metres high, with direct access to the office lobby and the underground pedestrian network |
| Midtown Market | Approximately 10,900 sqft, linked to Midtown Square by the internal Seawater Street |
| Green and public spaces | 10 gardens totalling approximately 170,000 sqft, plus more than 34,000 sqft of vertical greenery |
| Car parking | 428 lots across the development, of which 175 are residential lots for Midtown Bay |
The office tower has its own pick-up and drop-off point. Midtown Bay shares its drop-off with Network Hub, not with the offices. Access into the residential tower runs through a secured lift lobby and secured level access, with a digital lock at each unit’s main door, and concierge services are provided.
Residential car parking sits in the multi-storey car park block rather than a basement, on levels 2B and 3 to 6, with 175 lots designated for Midtown Bay. The multi-storey car park itself is common property, so members of the public and office tenants may use lots there too, which is worth understanding before assuming the car park is residents-only.
The residential bin centre is at ground floor of the multi-storey car park. There is no basement anywhere in the development; refuse is moved by a pneumatic discharge system that sends waste directly from the rubbish chutes to the bin centre. Each unit’s chute sits along the common corridor behind a door that conceals it when not in use.
Vehicular ingress and egress is from Beach Road and Nicoll Highway, at a combined width of approximately 10 metres. The development’s electrical substation sits at the first storey of the multi-storey car park.
Network Hub is the five-storey building sitting roughly 21 metres from the residential tower, and it is the reason Midtown Bay’s own facility list looks shorter than a typical condominium’s. It is a members-only urban social and business club of approximately 80,000 sqft across five levels, operated separately from the condominium rather than being a condominium clubhouse.
What sits inside it: a 40m lap pool with pool deck lounges at roof level, a bamboo garden with a 100m jogging track, a fitness hub, a meeting room, a refreshment area, an event terrace, a social corner and a relax sanctum. Alongside the recreational side it carries networking lounges, MICE and conference facilities, collaborative work spaces, and venues for private dining and social gatherings, including a fully equipped kitchen where a host can bring in a private chef. The larger event spaces are sized for gatherings of up to 200 guests.
Because it is run as a club rather than as strata common property, its membership and access terms are set by the operator rather than by the condominium’s management corporation.
The residential tower sits approximately 70 to 80 metres from the office tower and approximately 21 metres from Network Hub. A covered linkway at ground floor connects Midtown Bay to the office tower.
Two public squares sit between them. Midtown Square, also referred to as the Midtown Square, is the larger sheltered plaza at about 14 metres high with direct access to the office lobby and to the underground pedestrian network. Midtown Market is the more bustling of the two, a covered street-market space under hanging gardens, connected to Midtown Square by a new internal street called Seawater Street. Seawater Street can be closed to traffic so the public spaces link up for large weekend events.
Suntec City is reached either by the overhead pedestrian link at Level 3 of the residential multi-storey car park, or by the escalator at the Network Hub drop-off.
Shared car parking, what Network Hub is and how it is run, and how the residential tower is separated from the offices and the public squares are all worth walking through properly.
Four MRT stations on four lines, and an air-conditioned tunnel to the nearest one
Midtown Bay sits at 122 Beach Road in District 7, within the Downtown Core, at the intersection of two development corridors, Beach Road and Ophir-Rochor Road. The address links three office micromarkets, City Hall, Marina Centre and Bugis, and that is the single fact that shapes everything else about the location: it is a home address placed in the middle of a working district rather than at the edge of one.
Bugis Interchange is reached through a sheltered, air-conditioned Underground Pedestrian Network with two entrances into Guoco Midtown, one inside the office tower lobby and one at Midtown Square. City Hall, Esplanade and Promenade are all within walking distance overground. Between them the four stations cover the East-West, Downtown, North-South and Circle lines.
| Destination | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Bugis MRT Interchange (EW12 / DT14) | 0.4 km | 5 min walk |
| Esplanade MRT Station (CC3) | 0.6 km | 2 min drive |
| City Hall MRT Interchange (EW13 / NS25) | 0.9 km | 2 min drive |
| Promenade MRT Interchange (CC4 / DT15) | 1.1 km | 3 min drive |
| Bras Basah MRT Station (CC2) | 1.3 km | 3 min drive |
| Nicoll Highway MRT Station (CC5) | 1.6 km | 4 min drive |
| Suntec City and Suntec Convention & Exhibition Centre | 0.7 km | 8 min walk |
| Bugis Junction | 0.7 km | 9 min walk |
| Raffles City | 1.0 km | 2 min drive |
| National Library | 1.0 km | 5 min drive |
| Esplanade Theatres on the Bay | 1.2 km | 4 min drive |
| Raffles Hospital (North Bridge Road) | 1.2 km | 2 min drive |

| Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) | 4.4 km | 6 min drive |
This matters more here than at a suburban address, because the appeal of the location is walking to an office rather than driving to one. Approximately 5.6 million sqft of office space in the vicinity is reachable from Guoco Midtown via sheltered walkways, and more than 7 million sqft of offices sit within 1 km of the site.
The sheltered network runs in two layers. Underground, the Underground Pedestrian Network connects to Bugis Interchange and onward to the wider City Hall, Bugis and Marina Centre pedestrian networks. Overhead, a pedestrian link bridge at Level 3 of the residential multi-storey car park reaches Suntec City, with a second route via the escalator at the Network Hub drop-off. Within Guoco Midtown itself, a covered linkway at ground floor connects the residential tower to the office tower.
Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts is 0.9 km away, roughly a 2-minute drive. Stamford Primary School and LASALLE College of the Arts are both 1.3 km, and Singapore Management University is 1.4 km. St. Margaret’s Primary School is 2.0 km, Farrer Park Primary School 2.9 km, and St. Joseph’s Institution Junior 3.4 km.
Further out, River Valley Primary School is 3.6 km, James Cook University 3.9 km, Kong Hwa School 4 km, Dunman High School 5 km and Canadian International School 5.5 km. This is a city-centre address rather than a school-catchment one, so the practical read is that the schools are reachable by a short drive rather than a walk.
Ten bus services stop at Midtown Bay, and between them they cover a wide spread of the island without a transfer.
Towards the south and west: service 57 runs to One Raffles Quay and VivoCity via Bukit Merah; service 100 to One Raffles Quay, VivoCity and Queenstown; service 196 to Buona Vista, NUS and Clementi; service 10 to Keppel Distripark, Mapletree Business City and Kent Ridge in one direction and Changi General Hospital and Tampines in the other.
Towards the north: service 980 to Novena, Thomson and Sembawang; service 107M to Woodleigh, Serangoon and Hougang; service 961C to Outram Park, Beauty World, Bukit Panjang and Woodlands.
Towards the east: service 14 to Siglap, Tanah Merah and Bedok; service 16 to Dunman, i12 Katong and Bedok; service 70 to the National Stadium, Paya Lebar, Tai Seng and Yio Chu Kang. Services 14, 16 and 961C also run westward past Dhoby Ghaut to Orchard.
The North-South Corridor runs adjacent to Guoco Midtown, and it is worth separating what has a date attached from what does not.
What is scheduled: the Land Transport Authority states that the corridor will be completed in phases from 2027. The viaduct portion from Admiralty Road West to Lentor Avenue is targeted to open in 2027. The tunnel portion, which runs from Lentor Avenue down to the East Coast Parkway and is the stretch relevant to this address, is targeted for 2029.
What is still at concept stage: once vehicular traffic moves into the tunnel, the surface streets above are to be repurposed for walking, cycling, buses and community space. LTA appointed a master plan consultant for those surface streets in August 2024, and the published concept includes turning Ophir Road into a public space connecting Kampong Gelam and Bugis. No completion date has been published for the surface street works, and the master plan remains in development. Details are on LTA’s North-South Corridor page.
Guoco Midtown was conceived as the piece that completes a precinct already well into redevelopment. Immediately around it, South Beach and DUO were both completed in the second half of the 2010s, the Suntec City retail revamp finished in 2015, and Raffles Hotel and Raffles Hospital both reopened after major works in 2019.
GuocoLand extended its own footprint across the road at Tan Quee Lan Street with Guoco Midtown II and Midtown Modern, so the Beach Road and Ophir-Rochor stretch now carries three GuocoLand developments in sequence rather than one. The district also hosts the Singapore Grand Prix street circuit and the National Day Parade in the surrounding Marina Centre area each year, which is part of what makes the precinct busy in a way most residential districts are not.
Numbers on a page only tell part of the story. Book a viewing and we will walk you through the underground link to Bugis, the public squares and the surrounding amenities in person. Viewings are by appointment, 10am to 7pm.
No two units in the tower face each other, and the closest neighbour is about 70 metres away
Midtown Bay stands approximately 130 metres tall over 33 storeys, on a floorplate of ten stacks. Levels 1 to 6 are car park, so the first homes start at Level 7, level with the pool garden. Levels 7 to 24 carry the single-storey apartments, Level 25 is given over entirely to the sky terrace, and Levels 26 to 33 carry the duplexes, each spanning two floors. The design places no unit directly opposite another within the tower, so the question is not whether you face a neighbour’s window but which building across the road you look towards.
| Stacks | Looks towards | Approximate distance |
|---|---|---|
| 01, 02, 03, 04 | DUO | 225 to 250 m |
| 05, 06 | Suntec City | 70 to 74 m |
| 07, 08, 09, 10 | South Beach | 100 to 115 m |
Higher floors look out over Marina Bay and the sea towards the Marina Bay Sands area on one side of the tower, and over the low-rise Bugis shophouses and the city on the other. The lower residential floors sit closer to the height of the surrounding podiums and neighbouring buildings, so the outlook there is more of a street-level city view than a panorama.
The stack-by-stack distances above are the practical measure of that. Stacks 05 and 06 have the shortest gap to a neighbour at roughly 70 to 74 metres to Suntec City, which is close by the standards of a 130-metre tower. Stacks 01 to 04, at 225 to 250 metres from DUO, have the longest clear run. This is a city-centre site, so every outlook is a built one, and the difference between stacks is how much distance sits in front of that build.
The duplexes occupy Levels 26 to 33, above the Level 25 sky terrace, which makes them the highest homes in the building by a clear margin. Each one spans two floors, and there are four duplexes in each of the ten stacks, entered at Levels 26, 28, 30 and 32.
Because they sit at the top of the tower, they clear the surrounding podium heights entirely and take the widest outlook available on the site, regardless of which stack they occupy. The three-bedroom duplexes, on stacks 05 and 06, are the ones looking towards Suntec City and Marina Centre from the greatest height in the building.
The facade is a combination of glass and aluminium cladding. The glass is laminated and slightly reflective and tinted, which is the standard response to a west and south-facing city site.
Units carry a combination of full-height and non-full-height windows depending on the type, and a combination of top-hung and casement openings, again depending on the unit type. Window openings are restricted to 30 degrees for safety across the building. No special or unusual facade or landscape materials are used beyond the glass and aluminium.

Four bedroom configurations, twenty-three unit types, and what each one actually gives you
Midtown Bay’s 219 homes divide into four bedroom configurations and twenty-three distinct unit types, from a 409 sqft one-bedroom up to a 1,324 sqft three-bedroom duplex. The single-storey apartments run Levels 7 to 24 and the duplexes run Levels 26 to 33. The naming convention is worth learning before you read the tables: an “a” suffix (A2a, B1a, B6a-DP) marks a mirrored version of the same layout in a different stack, a “-G” suffix marks the Level 7 variant that opens onto a private enclosed space instead of a balcony, and “-DP” marks a duplex.
1 Bedroom without balcony (Types A1a, A3a, A3)
| Type | Beds | Baths | Size | Outdoor space | Stack | Levels | Units |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A1a | 1 | 1 | 409 sqft | None | 02 | 07 to 24 | 18 |
| A3a | 1 | 1 | 452 sqft | None | 04 | 07 to 24 | 18 |
| A3 | 1 | 1 | 463 sqft | None | 03 | 07 to 24 | 18 |
This is the most consequential thing to know before you shortlist a stack at Midtown Bay, and it is easy to miss because it does not appear as a separate line in any unit mix table. Stacks 02, 03 and 04 carry no balcony at any level. The floor plans for those stacks show an air-conditioner ledge and a reinforced concrete ledge marked as non-strata area, and nothing else outside the glass line.
That covers all 54 one-bedroom units in those three stacks, plus the twelve two-bedroom duplexes above them, sixty-six of the 219 homes in the building. Every other stack has either a balcony or, at Level 7, a private enclosed space.
Whether that is a drawback depends entirely on what you want from a city apartment. The practical upside is that the quoted floor area is entirely enclosed, air-conditionable internal space rather than partly outdoor, so a 409 sqft A1a is 409 sqft of room. The trade-off is no outdoor seating and no ventilation from an open balcony door. Balcony screens are provided on every balcony elsewhere in the building, so the balconies are not fully open in the conventional sense either.
All eight one-bedroom types carry the same room list: one bedroom, one bathroom, an open kitchen, and a combined living and dining area. What separates them is proportion and the amount of space given to living and dining rather than to the bedroom.
The design intent across the whole development is entertaining at home, and the one-bedroom layouts are where that shows most clearly. The living and dining areas are deliberately oversized relative to the total floor area, to the point that a one-bedroom of under 500 sqft is designed to seat six to ten guests. In most units a sliding glass door, rather than a solid wall, separates the bedroom from the living area, so the two can be opened into a single space when you are hosting and closed off when you are not. Ceiling heights help here too, at approximately 3.2 metres in both the living room and the bedroom.
1 Bedroom with balcony or private enclosed space (Types A1, A2, A2a, A1-G, A2a-G)
| Type | Beds | Baths | Size | Outdoor space | Stack | Levels | Units |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | 1 | 1 | 474 sqft | Balcony | 09 | 08 to 24 | 17 |
| A2 | 1 | 1 | 484 sqft | Balcony | 08 | 08 to 24 | 17 |
| A2a | 1 | 1 | 484 sqft | Balcony | 07 | 08 to 24 | 17 |
| A1-G | 1 | 1 | 517 sqft | Private enclosed space | 09 | 07 only | 1 |
| A2a-G | 1 | 1 | 527 sqft | Private enclosed space | 07 | 07 only | 1 |
A1-G at 517 sqft and A2a-G at 527 sqft are the two largest one-bedroom units in the building, and each exists exactly once: A1-G is unit #07-09 and A2a-G is unit #07-07. They are the Level 7 versions of A1 and A2a, sitting at the same level as the pool garden, and the extra area comes from a private enclosed space in place of the balcony the units above them get.
A2 and A2a are the same layout mirrored, both 484 sqft, in stacks 08 and 07 respectively. There is no difference in size or room list between them, only in which way the plan is handed and therefore which way the unit looks.
One quirk of the Level 7 floor plate: it holds nine homes rather than ten. There is no unit at #07-08, because that position is where the pool garden meets the tower.
2 Bedroom (Types B1, B1a, B2, B3, B3-G)
| Type | Beds | Baths | Size | Outdoor space | Stack | Levels | Units |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B1a | 2 | 2 | 732 sqft | Balcony | 05 | 07 to 24 | 18 |
| B1 | 2 | 2 | 732 sqft | Balcony | 06 | 07 to 24 | 18 |
| B2 | 2 | 2 | 743 sqft | Balcony | 01 | 07 to 24 | 18 |
| B3 | 2 | 2 | 753 sqft | Balcony | 10 | 08 to 24 | 17 |
| B3-G | 2 | 2 | 775 sqft | Private enclosed space | 10 | 07 only | 1 |
The five two-bedroom types span a narrow 43 sqft, from 732 sqft to 775 sqft, and all five carry the same room list: Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2, Bath 1 and Bath 2, an open kitchen, and a combined living and dining area opening onto a balcony or, at Level 7, a private enclosed space. B1 and B1a are the same 732 sqft layout mirrored, in stacks 06 and 05.
The differences between the rest come down to room proportions and how the kitchen is arranged along the entry wall, rather than any single named feature that one type has and another does not. B3-G, the single Level 7 unit #07-10, is the largest at 775 sqft.
Two bathrooms in a 732 sqft two-bedroom is more generous than the size alone suggests, and it is what makes these types workable for sharing rather than only for a couple.
2 Bedroom Duplex (Types B5-DP, B6-DP, B6a-DP, B7-DP, B7a-DP, B4-DP, B2-DP, B3-DP)
| Type | Beds | Baths | Size | Outdoor space | Stack | Entry levels | Units |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B5-DP | 2 | 2 | 990 sqft | None | 02 | 26, 28, 30, 32 | 4 |
| B6-DP | 2 | 2 | 1,012 sqft | None | 03 | 26, 28, 30, 32 | 4 |
| B6a-DP | 2 | 2 | 1,012 sqft | None | 04 | 26, 28, 30, 32 | 4 |
| B7a-DP | 2 | 2 | 1,023 sqft | Balcony on both floors | 07 | 26, 28, 30, 32 | 4 |
| B7-DP | 2 | 2 | 1,023 sqft | Balcony on both floors | 08 | 26, 28, 30, 32 | 4 |
| B4-DP | 2 | 2 | 1,033 sqft | Balcony on both floors | 09 | 26, 28, 30, 32 | 4 |
| B2-DP | 2 | 2 | 1,130 sqft | Balcony on both floors | 01 | 26, 28, 30, 32 | 4 |
| B3-DP | 2 | 2 | 1,152 sqft | Balcony on both floors | 10 | 26, 28, 30, 32 | 4 |
Every two-bedroom duplex splits the same way. The lower floor holds the living and dining area, the kitchen and Bath 2, and is where you receive guests. The upper floor holds both bedrooms and Bath 1, and is private.
The upper floor also carries a built-in furniture platform, which is a raised, fixed platform sized to take a sofa bed comfortably. In practice it becomes a third sleeping space for occasional guests, a study, or simply a quiet corner, without occupying either bedroom. It is a permanent built-in feature of the plan rather than an option.
The eight types run from 990 sqft to 1,152 sqft. B6-DP and B6a-DP are the same 1,012 sqft layout mirrored, in stacks 03 and 04, as are B7-DP and B7a-DP at 1,023 sqft in stacks 08 and 07. B5-DP, B6-DP and B6a-DP, sitting in the three no-balcony stacks, have no outdoor space on either floor.
The duplexes are marketed with three configurations, and it is important to be clear that only the first is the base provision.
As delivered, a two-bedroom duplex is a residential unit: entertaining downstairs, two bedrooms and the platform upstairs.
The dual key setup treats each floor as a separate dwelling, with one of the upper-floor bedrooms converted into a living and dining room so that floor becomes self-contained. This is a flexible configuration option carried out by the purchaser, not something the unit arrives with, so it involves renovation work and its own approvals.
The home office setup reverses the two floors: the upper level becomes the private living, dining and sleeping half, and the lower level takes workstations and an enclosed director’s room for meetings. Using a residential unit as a home office is subject to the prevailing home office scheme guidelines, which govern who may work there and what kind of business may be run. Confirm the current rules before you buy on that basis.
3 Bedroom Duplex (Types B1-DP, B1a-DP)
| Type | Beds | Baths | Size | Outdoor space | Stack | Entry levels | Units |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B1a-DP | 3 | 3 | 1,324 sqft | Balcony on both floors | 05 | 26, 28, 30, 32 | 4 |
| B1-DP | 3 | 3 | 1,324 sqft | Balcony on both floors | 06 | 26, 28, 30, 32 | 4 |
There are eight three-bedroom duplexes at Midtown Bay in total, four each in stacks 05 and 06, and B1-DP and B1a-DP are the same 1,324 sqft plan mirrored. They are the largest homes in the development and the only ones with a third bathroom.
The upper level carries Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2, each with its own ensuite bathroom, plus the furniture platform, which here reads as a quiet study, and a balcony. The lower level carries the living and dining area, the kitchen, its own balcony, and a well-sized Bedroom 3 with Bath 3, which is what makes the lower floor genuinely self-contained rather than just a reception level.
That arrangement is why the dual key configuration works particularly cleanly on this type: the upper floor already has full facilities for a family, and the lower floor already has a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen of its own. As with the two-bedroom duplexes, the dual key split is a purchaser configuration rather than a base provision.
For units on Levels 7 to 24, the walls between bedrooms cannot be removed. That constrains how far a two-bedroom apartment can be opened up into a larger one-bedroom.
What can be opened is the boundary between the living area and the bedroom. For the majority of units the base provision there is a sliding glass door rather than a solid wall, so living and bedroom can be run together as one space or closed apart, which is the mechanism behind the entertaining-focused layouts.
The kitchen base provision is open across the building. It can be enclosed, but that is renovation work rather than an option offered at handover. There is no piped gas anywhere in the development; every kitchen has an electric induction hob.
We can send over the detailed floor plan for any unit type, including room dimensions, so you can check furniture fit and the balcony line before you view.

The interiors are by Peter Tay Studio, whose founder is a President’s Design Award winner, and the approach across all 219 homes is the same: a single, consistent material palette rather than a package that steps up by unit size. What differs between a 409 sqft one-bedroom and a 1,324 sqft duplex here is floor area and room count, not the brand of the oven.
| Item | Brand or specification |
|---|---|
| Combi steam oven | V-ZUG |
| Cooking hob | V-ZUG, electric induction (no piped gas in the development) |
| Cooker hood | V-ZUG |
| Integrated fridge | Liebherr |
| Washer cum dryer | Whirlpool (a single combined unit, not separate machines) |
| Bathroom wares | Villeroy & Boch |
| Bathroom fittings | Hansgrohe AXOR |
| Air-conditioning | Daikin DX multi-split system with inverter |
| Kitchen cabinets | Customised |
| Wardrobe | Customised, combination of sliding and casement doors, interiors lit |
| Main door | Digital lock set |
| Area | Finish |
|---|---|
| Living and dining | Marble, generally 600mm x 600mm |
| Bedrooms, Levels 7 to 24 | Marble |
| Balcony | Mosaico homogeneous tiles, 50mm x 50mm |
| Walls | Paint finish |
| Lift lobby areas | Tile finish, remaining walls painted |
Each unit is fitted with a wireless smart home readiness hub, supplied under the D’SmartHome banner, covering four things: the living room and bedroom lighting points, the ceiling fan, the air-conditioner, and the digital lock.
The word to read carefully is “readiness”. The hub is installed in every unit as standard, but setting up the customised system that connects it to your specific lighting products and air-conditioning units is a one-time arrangement between the owner and the third-party vendor, and an internet subscription is separately the owner’s own arrangement. The hub is provided whether or not you choose to have that setup done.
Several things a buyer might assume are standard are not fitted here, and knowing them up front saves a surprise at handover.
No household shelter in any unit, in any unit type, anywhere in the building. No bay windows and no planter boxes. No yard and no separate laundry area, which is why the washer and dryer come as a single combined Whirlpool unit. No bathtubs and no sunken baths in any unit. No shoe cabinet. No blinds. No bidet spray, though the connection point for one is provided if you want to add it. No internal light fittings are supplied for the unit itself; only the balconies come with a light fitting already in place.
What is provided at the balcony, beyond the light: a power point and a water point, which is more than many developments give you and makes the balcony genuinely usable for plants or a small outdoor setup.
Every balcony in the development is fitted with a balcony screen as standard. These are the approved designs for the building, and they may not be removed or replaced with a different design.
That is a real constraint worth understanding before you buy: the balcony is not a blank slate. You cannot enclose it with your own louvres or glazing, and you cannot swap the screen for something more open. The upside is a consistent facade and a degree of shading and privacy already built in.
Marble, the AXOR fittings and the V-ZUG kitchen are hard to judge from a specification list. Book a viewing and walk an actual completed unit.
“What facilities are there, and which ones belong to the condominium?”
This is the question that needs the most care at Midtown Bay, because the facilities split across two separate things. Midtown Bay’s own condominium facilities sit on two levels of the residential tower, Level 7 and Level 25. Network Hub, the five-storey members’ club next door with the 40m lap pool and the 100m jogging track, is a separate building within Guoco Midtown. Both are real, but only the first is strata common property of the condominium, and only the first is what the maintenance fee pays for.
| Level | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Level 7 | Pool Garden with the main pool, Pool Deck, 3 Pavilions, Fitness Area, Garden Court, Wellness Garden, Foliage Garden, Lawn Garden, Outdoor Shower, Accessible Washroom, Management Office |
| Level 25 | Skyline Terrace, Bayview Terrace, Garden Terrace, Residential Lift Lobby, Accessible Washroom |
| Roof | Water tanks |
| Level | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Roof / Level 7 | 40m Lap Pool, Pool Deck Lounges, Meeting Room |
| Level 7 | Fitness Hub, Bamboo Garden with 100m Jogging Track, Event Terrace, Social Corner, Refreshment Area, Relax Sanctum |
| Level 1 | Drop Off shared with Midtown Bay, Pavilion, Water Garden |
Midtown Bay’s own main pool sits in the Pool Garden at Level 7 and measures 30m by 5.2m at a depth of 1.2m. It is a proper lap-length pool for a 219-unit development, with a pool deck and outdoor shower alongside it and the fitness area, garden court and four separate gardens wrapped around it on the same level.
The 40m lap pool that appears in a lot of Midtown Bay material is a different pool. It belongs to Network Hub, at the roof of the five-storey club building, with its own pool deck lounges. It belongs to Network Hub rather than to the condominium.
The same distinction applies to the 100m jogging track in the bamboo garden and the Fitness Hub: those are Network Hub facilities, while the Fitness Area at Level 7 is the condominium’s own.
Midtown Bay has no clubhouse or dining lounge of its own. Entertaining space is provided outdoors instead, and it is worth knowing exactly what that amounts to.
At Level 7, three pavilions in the garden each carry a six-seater dining set, plus one electric hot plate for barbecuing.
At Level 25, the Skyline Terrace carries two eight-seater dining sets with a lounging area, plus two electric hot plates. Level 25 also holds the Bayview Terrace and the Garden Terrace, and being a full sky level with no apartments on it, it is the highest common space in the building.
For anything larger, the answer is Network Hub, whose event spaces are sized for gatherings of up to 200 guests and which has a fully equipped kitchen where a host can bring in a private chef. The design logic of the whole development is that the club absorbs the functions a conventional condominium clubhouse would carry.
Unlike a tower that gives a whole level over to facilities, Level 7 at Midtown Bay does both. The pool garden and its surrounding gardens occupy part of the floorplate, and nine apartments occupy the rest, which is why Level 7 has nine homes where every other residential level has ten.
Those nine are the “-G” types, and they open onto a private enclosed space rather than a balcony, at garden level. It is the one part of the building where a home has ground-level outdoor space, and it comes with the trade-off that the space sits alongside the shared pool garden rather than in isolation.
Level 25, by contrast, is a pure sky terrace with no apartments at all, which is why the duplexes start at Level 26 rather than continuing straight up from Level 24.
The split between the condominium’s own gardens and Network Hub is much easier to understand standing in the middle of it than reading about it. Book a viewing and see both.

| Unit type | Types | Size range | Units | Share value | Estimated monthly fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom (without balcony) | A1a, A3, A3a | 409 to 463 sqft | 54 | 40 | $382.80 |

| 2 Bedroom Duplex | B2-DP to B7a-DP | 990 to 1,152 sqft | 32 | 48 | $459.36 |
| 3 Bedroom Duplex | B1-DP, B1a-DP | 1,324 sqft | 8 | 56 | $535.92 |
| Total | 219 |
The rate is $9.57 per share value per month, before GST, on the 2024 schedule.
One consequence of the banding is worth noting before you compare running costs across types. The 2 Bedroom and the 2 Bedroom Duplex sit on the same share value of 48, so a 732 sqft two-bedroom apartment and a 1,152 sqft two-bedroom duplex pay exactly the same monthly fee despite a 420 sqft difference in size. The only step up above that is the 3 Bedroom Duplex at 56 shares, and the only step down is the entire one-bedroom range at 40 shares, where a 409 sqft A1a and a 527 sqft A2a-G also pay identically.
Floor-to-floor height is 3.5 metres throughout the residential tower, which is generous, and the finished ceiling heights inside the unit vary by room rather than by unit type.
| Room | Approximate ceiling height |
|---|---|
| Living room | 3.2m |
| Bedroom | 3.2m |
| Kitchen | 2.75m |
A 3.2 metre ceiling in the bedroom as well as the living room is unusual, and it is a large part of why the smaller units read as more spacious than their floor area suggests. The kitchen drops to approximately 2.75 metres to carry mechanical and electrical services above it.
There are 175 residential car park lots against 219 homes, so there are fewer lots than units. Allocation is not one lot per unit; it works on a first come, first served basis.
Residential lots sit at Level 2B and Levels 3 to 6 of the multi-storey car park block, not in a basement, because the development has no basement at all. The multi-storey car park is common property of Guoco Midtown, so public visitors and office tenants may also use lots within it, and residents’ designated lots are the ones on those levels.
For a city-centre address with a five-minute sheltered walk to an MRT interchange, a car park ratio below one per unit is a deliberate design position rather than an oversight. If a car is essential to you, confirm lot availability with the sales team before committing.
Security runs on a secured lift lobby and secured level system, so a lift will only release at the levels a resident’s access permits, and each unit’s main door carries a digital lock set. Concierge services are provided.
The residential lift lobbies are naturally ventilated or mechanically ventilated rather than air-conditioned, which is a common cost and energy decision but worth knowing if you expect a cooled corridor.
Refuse runs on a pneumatic discharge system with no basement involved. Each unit’s rubbish chute sits along the common corridor behind a concealing door, and waste is discharged directly to the residential bin centre at the ground floor of the multi-storey car park.
Water tanks sit at Level 1 and at roof level. The development’s electrical substation is at the first storey of the multi-storey car park.
A GuocoLand project, delivered through two group companies on one licence
Midtown Bay is developed by Midtown Bay Pte. Ltd., company registration number 201725820H, which holds Housing Developer’s Licence C1302 jointly with Guoco Midtown Pte. Ltd., company registration number 201725806H. Both are GuocoLand Limited companies, and the Building and Construction Authority’s record names both as project developer. The wider Guoco Midtown development sits with Guoco Midtown Pte. Ltd., and the two entities share the project account. There is no outside joint venture partner in the structure.
GuocoLand has been listed on the Singapore Exchange since 1978. In Singapore it has developed 36 residential projects yielding approximately 11,000 apartments and homes, alongside the integrated mixed-use development Guoco Tower, which at 290 metres is the tallest building in the city-state.
Beyond Singapore the group operates in China, Malaysia and Vietnam, with a portfolio spanning residential, hospitality, commercial, retail and integrated developments.
Its Singapore residential work includes Wallich Residence, Martin Modern, Leedon Residence, Goodwood Residence, Midtown Modern, Lentor Modern, Lentor Hills Residences, Lentor Mansion, Lentor Central Residences, The Avenir, Springleaf Residence, Penrith, Tengah Garden Residences, Faber Residence and River Modern.
Denton Corker Marshall is the design architect, an Australian practice with high-profile work internationally. Its design position on this site was to reject a single mega-structure in favour of ten separate buildings of varying scale, from one and two-storey retail pavilions through the conserved three-storey police station and the five-storey Network Hub up to the office and residential towers, so that the development reads as a piece of street-based city rather than a compound. Design Director Adrian FitzGerald described the intent as creating a people-oriented, street-based integrated development, with a great deal of the design effort spent on the public realm rather than the buildings alone.
DP Architects is the project architect and Ortus Design the landscape architect. Meinhardt (Singapore) covers both civil and structural and mechanical and electrical engineering, AECOM is the quantity surveyor, and China Construction (South Pacific) Development is the main contractor.
The interiors are by Peter Tay Studio. Peter Tay is a President’s Design Award winner known for a minimalist, rectilinear approach, and his stated aim for Midtown Bay was spaces simple enough in their material palette to adapt across living, working and entertaining rather than being fixed to one use.
A 219-home residential slice of a S$2.4 billion development
The structural fact that shapes everything else here is proportion. GuocoLand acquired the Beach Road site in the government land sales exercise for S$1.622 billion, which works out to S$1,706 per square foot per plot ratio, and the total development cost of Guoco Midtown came to S$2.4 billion. Against a total gross floor area of approximately 950,600 sqft, Midtown Bay’s share is approximately 163,330 sqft. The residential component is the smaller part of a development whose economics are driven mainly by 770,000 sqft of Grade A office.
That is unusual, and it cuts in a specific direction: 219 homes is a very small residential population to sit inside a precinct of this scale, in a district where private housing stock has always been thin relative to commercial floor space.
The tenure is 99 years leasehold with the lease commencing 2 January 2018, which is the date the clock started, not the date of TOP or of any individual purchase.
That matters because a buyer purchasing today is buying into a lease that has already been running for several years. Legal completion is expected in June 2027, three years after Temporary Occupation Permit was obtained in June 2024. Work the remaining lease term into any financing calculation, since CPF usage and loan tenure rules in Singapore are both sensitive to remaining lease at the point of purchase and to the buyer’s age.
The tenant and owner-occupier logic for an address like this is proximity to work rather than proximity to schools or parks, and the numbers around the site are specific.
Guoco Midtown’s own office tower carries 770,000 sqft of Grade A space over 30 storeys with floor plates of 27,000 to 30,000 sqft, roughly 70 to 80 metres from the residential tower and connected by a covered linkway. Beyond it, approximately 5.6 million sqft of office space in the vicinity is reachable via sheltered walkways, and more than 7 million sqft of offices sit within 1 km. Four MRT stations across four lines are within walking distance, one of them through an air-conditioned tunnel.
Set against that, the residential supply immediately around the site is limited. District 7 is predominantly commercial, and the private residential stock in the Beach Road and Bugis stretch is small relative to the office floor space it sits among. That imbalance between where people work and where they can live in this precinct is the underlying demand argument, and it is a structural one rather than a cyclical one.
Buying into a finished development removes several of the uncertainties that come with an off-plan launch, and introduces one consideration of its own.
Removed: construction risk, the wait for handover, the gap between an artist’s impression and the built result, and the guesswork about what the view from a specific floor of a specific stack will actually be. You can stand in the unit and look out of the window before you decide.
Introduced: the payment schedule compresses. Because every construction milestone has been reached, the progressive payment tranches up to and including TOP become payable together shortly after the Sale and Purchase Agreement rather than over several years, so the financing profile is closer to a resale purchase than to a launch. That is a cash flow question to settle with a banker early rather than late.
The first has dates. The North-South Corridor runs adjacent to Guoco Midtown, and the Land Transport Authority has published a phased timeline: the viaduct portion from Admiralty Road West to Lentor Avenue targeted to open in 2027, and the tunnel from Lentor Avenue to the East Coast Parkway, which is the stretch that reaches this end of the city, targeted for 2029.
The second does not. The repurposing of the surface streets above the tunnel, including a published concept for turning Ophir Road into a public space linking Kampong Gelam and Bugis, is still at master planning stage. LTA appointed a master plan consultant in August 2024 and public engagement is ongoing. No completion date exists for it, and it should be read as an intention rather than a schedule.
Separately, and already delivered, the surrounding precinct has been through a sustained redevelopment cycle: South Beach, DUO, the Suntec City retail revamp, and the reopening of Raffles Hotel and Raffles Hospital after major works. GuocoLand added Guoco Midtown II and Midtown Modern across the road at Tan Quee Lan Street.
We can walk you through what the land cost, the remaining lease and the compressed payment schedule imply for a specific stack and unit type you have in mind.
Detailed answers to the questions buyers ask most often
Stacks 02, 03 and 04. Their plans carry no balcony at any level, so the whole of the quoted size is enclosed internal space rather than part indoors and part out. That covers the one-bedroom types A1a at 409 sqft, A3 at 463 sqft and A3a at 452 sqft on Levels 7 to 24, and the two-bedroom duplex types B5-DP, B6-DP and B6a-DP above them, 66 of the 219 homes in total. For anyone comparing per square foot against a layout that counts a balcony into its area, these three stacks are the like-for-like ones.
V-ZUG across the cooking line: a combi steam oven, an electric induction hob and a hood. The fridge is an integrated Liebherr and the cabinetry is customised. The base provision is an open kitchen, which is a large part of what gives the smaller layouts their sense of volume, and it can be enclosed later as renovation work. Cooking is electric induction throughout the development.
A private enclosed space opening onto the pool garden in place of a balcony, and more floor area with it. Each -G unit is 43 sqft larger than the type directly above it in the same stack: A1-G at 517 sqft against A1 at 474, A2a-G at 527 sqft against A2a at 484, and B3-G at 775 sqft against B3 at 753. There is one of each, at #07-09, #07-07 and #07-10, so three homes in the building have this.
Yes, both. A duplex is delivered as a residential unit, and either arrangement is a configuration the purchaser sets up. For dual key, each floor works as an independent dwelling once one upper-floor bedroom becomes a living and dining room; the three-bedroom duplex takes it most naturally because its lower floor already has a bedroom and bathroom. For a home office, the upper level becomes the private living side and the lower level takes workstations and an enclosed director’s room. Prevailing home office guidelines apply.
-DP marks a duplex. The forty duplexes occupy Levels 26 to 33 across all ten stacks, and each spans two storeys, entered at Level 26, 28, 30 or 32. The lower floor carries the living, dining and kitchen and the upper floor the bedrooms, along with a built-in furniture platform that suits a sofa bed, a study or storage. Ten duplex layouts exist, eight of them two-bedroom and two three-bedroom.
They are the only three-bedroom homes in the building and the largest at 1,324 sqft. Two layouts, B1-DP and B1a-DP, are the same plan mirrored, in stacks 06 and 05, four units each and eight in the whole development. They sit directly above the B1 and B1a two-bedroom stacks, which face Suntec City at 70 to 74 metres, and at Levels 26 to 33 they clear the surrounding podium levels entirely.
On Levels 7 to 24 the architect’s schedule gives approximately 3.2 metres of finished ceiling to living and dining areas, on a floor-to-floor height of 3.5 metres. One-bedroom layouts carry 3.2 metres in the bedroom as well. Kitchens run to approximately 2.75 metres, where the mechanical and electrical services sit above, and bathrooms to 2.4 metres. A 3.2 metre ceiling at these unit sizes is unusual, and it is a large part of why the smaller homes read as larger than their floor area suggests.
Villeroy & Boch bathroom wares with Hansgrohe AXOR fittings throughout, in every unit type. Laundry is a Whirlpool washer cum dryer supplied as a single combined machine, so the function sits inside the apartment rather than in a separate service area. Wardrobes are customised with lit interiors, and every main door carries a digital lock set tied into the smart home hub.
Three deliberate features, none of them a printing fault. Level 7 carries nine homes rather than ten, because the stack 08 position at that level carries the terrace connection instead of a unit. Level 25 is a full sky terrace with no apartments at all, which is why the duplex rows resume at Level 26 rather than continuing from Level 24. And Levels 27, 29, 31 and 33 carry no unit numbers, because each duplex is entered at the level below and the storey above belongs to it. The arithmetic closes exactly: nine, plus 170 across Levels 8 to 24, plus 40 duplexes, is 219.

=== 2. CURRENT AVAILABILITY ===
Live unit-by-unit availability and pricing move too frequently to reproduce reliably in a static reference. Check the live pricing and availability table on this page, or confirm directly with the developer sales team, for current stock and prices by unit type. Several unit types run to only 4 units in the entire building, so pools for specific plans are small.
=== 3. PAYMENT SCHEME ===
Midtown Bay is sold under the standard Progressive Payment Scheme for private residential property in Singapore.
Booking (Option to Purchase): 5 percent
Sale and Purchase Agreement (within 8 weeks of Option date): 15 percent
Foundation work completion: 10 percent

Partition walls completion: 5 percent
Roofing and ceiling completion: 5 percent
Doors, window frames, electrical wiring and internal plastering completion: 5 percent
Car park, roads and drains completion: 5 percent
Temporary Occupation Permit issuance: 25 percent
Legal completion: 15 percent
Total: 100 percent.
IMPORTANT CONSEQUENCE OF A COMPLETED BUILDING: every construction milestone has already been reached, so the tranches up to and including TOP fall due together shortly after the Sale and Purchase Agreement rather than spread across years of construction. The financing profile is closer to a resale purchase than to an off-plan launch. Cash, CPF and loan split at each stage depends on the buyer’s chosen loan quantum; not financial advice.

NORTH-SOUTH CORRIDOR (adjacent to Guoco Midtown): Land Transport Authority states phased completion from 2027. Viaduct portion from Admiralty Road West to Lentor Avenue targeted to open 2027. Tunnel portion from Lentor Avenue to East Coast Parkway targeted 2029. Surface street repurposing above the tunnel is at master planning stage with no published completion date; the master plan consultant was appointed August 2024 and the published concept includes turning Ophir Road into a public space connecting Kampong Gelam and Bugis. Source: LTA, https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/upcoming_projects/road_commuter_facilities/north_south_corridor.html
SURROUNDING PRECINCT (already delivered): South Beach, DUO, the Suntec City retail revamp, and the reopening of Raffles Hotel and Raffles Hospital after major works. GuocoLand also developed Guoco Midtown II and Midtown Modern across the road at Tan Quee Lan Street.
=== 6. VIEWS AND ORIENTATION BY STACK ===
Tower height: approximately 130 metres, 33 storeys, 10 stacks.
No unit in the tower faces another unit in the tower.
Nearest neighbouring building by stack (approximate):
Stacks 01, 02, 03, 04 – DUO – 225 to 250 metres
Stacks 05, 06 – Suntec City – 70 to 74 metres
Stacks 07, 08, 09, 10 – South Beach – 100 to 115 metres
Higher floors look towards Marina Bay and the sea in the direction of Marina Bay Sands on one side, and over the low-rise Bugis shophouses and the city on the other. Lower residential floors sit closer to surrounding podium heights and read as street-level city views.
Duplexes at Levels 26 to 33 are the highest homes in the building, above the Level 25 sky terrace, and take the widest available outlook.
Three-bedroom duplexes are on stacks 05 and 06, the stacks facing Suntec City.
FACADE AND WINDOWS: facade of glass and aluminium cladding. Glass is laminated, slightly reflective and tinted. Combination of full-height and non-full-height windows depending on unit type. Combination of top-hung and casement openings depending on unit type. Window openings restricted to 30 degrees for safety. No special facade or landscape materials beyond glass and aluminium.

=== 9. UNIT LAYOUT NOTES AND FLEXIBLE CONFIGURATIONS ===
NO-BALCONY STACKS: stacks 02, 03 and 04 carry no balcony at any level in the building. This covers types A1a, A3 and A3a (54 units, Levels 7 to 24) and types B5-DP, B6-DP and B6a-DP (12 units, Levels 26 to 33), a total of 66 of the 219 homes. Those plans show only an air-conditioner ledge and a reinforced concrete ledge marked as non-strata area. Practical effect: the quoted floor area is entirely enclosed internal space rather than partly outdoor.
BALCONY SCREENS: fitted to every balcony in the development. These are the approved designs and may not be removed or replaced with a different design, louvre or glazing. Balconies cannot be enclosed by the owner.
BALCONY PROVISIONS: light fitting, power point and water point provided at balconies. No internal light fittings are supplied for the unit itself.
LIVING AND DINING DESIGN INTENT: living and dining areas are oversized relative to total floor area, designed for entertaining at home. A one-bedroom of under 500 sqft is designed to seat 6 to 10 guests.
WALLS: on Levels 7 to 24, the walls between bedrooms cannot be removed. For the majority of units the boundary between the living area and the bedroom is a sliding glass door rather than a solid wall, so the two spaces can be combined or closed apart.
KITCHEN: base provision is an open kitchen. No piped gas anywhere in the development; electric induction hob throughout. Enclosing the kitchen is renovation work, not a handover option.
FURNITURE PLATFORM (duplexes only): a built-in raised platform on the upper floor, sized to take a sofa bed comfortably. Usable as a guest sleeping space, a study or a quiet corner. Permanent built-in feature, not an option.
DUPLEX SETUP 1, RESIDENTIAL (base provision): 2-bedroom duplex has living, dining and entertaining on the lower level, two well-sized bedrooms plus furniture platform on the upper level. 3-bedroom duplex has two ensuite bedrooms plus platform and balcony on the upper level, and living, dining, kitchen, Bedroom 3 and Bath 3 on the lower level.
DUPLEX SETUP 2, DUAL KEY (flexible configuration option by purchaser, not a base provision): each floor becomes a separate dwelling. On the 2-bedroom duplex, one upper-floor bedroom is converted into a living and dining room to make that floor self-contained. On the 3-bedroom duplex the upper floor is already complete with full functions for a family and the lower floor is already self-contained with its own bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.
DUPLEX SETUP 3, HOME OFFICE (flexible configuration option by purchaser; prevailing home office scheme guidelines apply): upper level becomes a private sanctuary for living, dining and resting. On the 2-bedroom duplex the lower level takes a small office setup with workstations and an enclosed director’s room. On the 3-bedroom duplex the upper level can be set up as a 1-bedroom unit with the platform taking a sofa bed, and the lower level takes 2 workstations, a director’s room and a lounge area for hosting business partners.
NOT PROVIDED IN ANY UNIT: household shelter, bay windows, planter boxes, yard or separate laundry area, bathtub or sunken bath, shoe cabinet, blinds, bidet spray (connection point provided), internal light fittings.

=== 11. FACILITIES ===
Facilities split between Midtown Bay’s own condominium facilities and Network Hub, a separate members’ club building within Guoco Midtown. Only the former is strata common property of the condominium.
MIDTOWN BAY LEVEL 7: Pool Garden, Pool Deck, Pavilion x3, Fitness Area, Garden Court, Wellness Garden, Foliage Garden, Lawn Garden, Outdoor Shower, Accessible Washroom, Management Office, M&E Space and Genset
MIDTOWN BAY LEVEL 25: Skyline Terrace, Bayview Terrace, Garden Terrace, Residential Lift Lobby, Accessible Washroom. No apartments on Level 25.
MIDTOWN BAY ROOF: water tanks
MAIN POOL (Midtown Bay, Level 7): 30m x 5.2m, 1.2m depth
BARBECUE: Level 7 has 1 electric hot plate. Level 25 has 2 electric hot plates.
DINING SETS: Level 7 has 3 pavilions each with a 6-seater dining set. Level 25 Skyline Terrace has 2 x 8-seater dining sets with a lounging area.
NO CLUBHOUSE OR DINING LOUNGE within Midtown Bay itself.
NETWORK HUB (separate members’ club, approximately 80,000 sqft over five levels): 40m Lap Pool and Pool Deck Lounges and Meeting Room at roof / Level 07; Fitness Hub, Bamboo Garden with 100m Jogging Track, Event Terrace, Social Corner, Refreshment Area and Relax Sanctum at Level 07; Drop Off (shared with Midtown Bay), Pavilion and Water Garden at Level 01. Also carries networking lounges, MICE and conference facilities, collaborative work spaces, private dining venues, and a fully equipped kitchen for a host to bring in a private chef. Event spaces sized for gatherings of up to 200 guests. Membership terms sit with the club operator, not with the condominium’s management corporation.
NOTE ON POOLS: there are two distinct pools. Midtown Bay’s own 30m x 5.2m main pool at Level 7, and Network Hub’s 40m lap pool at the roof of the club building. The 100m jogging track and Fitness Hub are Network Hub facilities; the Fitness Area at Level 7 is the condominium’s own.
LEVEL 7 IS BOTH A FACILITY FLOOR AND A RESIDENTIAL FLOOR: the pool garden occupies part of the floorplate and 9 apartments occupy the rest, which is why Level 7 has 9 homes where other residential levels have 10.
=== 12. MAINTENANCE FEES ===
Rate: $9.57 per share value per month, before GST (2024 schedule).
1 Bedroom without balcony (A1a, A3, A3a), 409 to 463 sqft, 54 units: 40 shares, $382.80 per month
1 Bedroom with balcony or PES (A1, A1-G, A2, A2a, A2a-G), 474 to 527 sqft, 53 units: 40 shares, $382.80 per month
2 Bedroom (B1, B1a, B2, B3, B3-G), 732 to 775 sqft, 72 units: 48 shares, $459.36 per month
2 Bedroom Duplex (B2-DP to B7a-DP), 990 to 1,152 sqft, 32 units: 48 shares, $459.36 per month
3 Bedroom Duplex (B1-DP, B1a-DP), 1,324 sqft, 8 units: 56 shares, $535.92 per month
BANDING CONSEQUENCE: the 2 Bedroom and 2 Bedroom Duplex sit on the same share value of 48, so a 732 sqft two-bedroom apartment and a 1,152 sqft two-bedroom duplex pay identically despite a 420 sqft difference. All one-bedroom types sit on 40 shares, so a 409 sqft A1a pays the same as a 527 sqft A2a-G.

=== 15. INVESTMENT CONTEXT ===
Land cost: Guoco Midtown site acquired for S$1.622 billion, S$1,706 per square foot per plot ratio.
Total development cost of Guoco Midtown: S$2.4 billion.
Proportion: Midtown Bay’s approximately 163,330 sqft GFA sits within Guoco Midtown’s approximately 950,600 sqft total GFA. The office component alone is 770,000 sqft. The residential component is the smaller part of a development whose economics are driven mainly by Grade A office.
Scale: 219 homes is a small residential population for a precinct of this size, in a district where private housing stock is thin relative to commercial floor space.
Tenure position: 99 years leasehold commencing 2 January 2018, so the lease clock started well before purchase. CPF usage and loan tenure rules in Singapore are sensitive to remaining lease at purchase and to buyer age.
Demand fundamentals: Guoco Midtown’s own office tower carries 770,000 sqft of Grade A space approximately 70 to 80 metres from the residential tower. Approximately 5.6 million sqft of office space in the vicinity is reachable via sheltered walkways, and more than 7 million sqft sits within 1 km. Four MRT stations across four lines within walking distance, one via an air-conditioned tunnel.
Completed-building effect: construction risk, handover wait and view uncertainty are removed. In exchange, the progressive payment tranches up to and including TOP fall due together shortly after the Sale and Purchase Agreement, so the financing profile resembles a resale purchase rather than an off-plan launch.
Infrastructure with dates: North-South Corridor viaduct portion targeted 2027; tunnel portion to East Coast Parkway targeted 2029 (LTA).
Infrastructure without dates: repurposing of NSC surface streets, including a concept for Ophir Road as public space linking Kampong Gelam and Bugis, is at master planning stage with no published completion date.
=== 16. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ===
Q: Which stacks give you the most enclosed floor area? A: Stacks 02, 03 and 04. Their plans carry no balcony at any level, so the whole of the quoted size is enclosed internal space rather than part indoors and part out. That covers the one-bedroom types A1a at 409 sqft, A3 at 463 sqft and A3a at 452 sqft on Levels 7 to 24, and the two-bedroom duplex types B5-DP, B6-DP and B6a-DP above them, 66 of the 219 homes in total. For anyone comparing per square foot against a layout that counts a balcony into its area, these three stacks are the like-for-like ones.
Q: What does the kitchen come with? A: V-ZUG across the cooking line: a combi steam oven, an electric induction hob and a hood. The fridge is an integrated Liebherr and the cabinetry is customised. The base provision is an open kitchen, which is a large part of what gives the smaller layouts their sense of volume, and it can be enclosed later as renovation work. Cooking is electric induction throughout the development.
Q: What do the Level 7 “-G” types have that the units above them do not? A: A private enclosed space opening onto the pool garden in place of a balcony, and more floor area with it. Each -G unit is 43 sqft larger than the type directly above it in the same stack: A1-G at 517 sqft against A1 at 474, A2a-G at 527 sqft against A2a at 484, and B3-G at 775 sqft against B3 at 753. There is one of each, at #07-09, #07-07 and #07-10, so three homes in the building have this.
Q: Can the duplexes be set up as dual key or as a home office? A: Yes, both. A duplex is delivered as a residential unit, and either arrangement is a configuration the purchaser sets up. For dual key, each floor works as an independent dwelling once one upper-floor bedroom becomes a living and dining room; the three-bedroom duplex takes it most naturally because its lower floor already has a bedroom and bathroom. For a home office, the upper level becomes the private living side and the lower level takes workstations and an enclosed director’s room. Prevailing home office guidelines apply.
Q: What does the “-DP” suffix mean, and how are the duplexes entered? A: -DP marks a duplex. The forty duplexes occupy Levels 26 to 33 across all ten stacks, and each spans two storeys, entered at Level 26, 28, 30 or 32. The lower floor carries the living, dining and kitchen and the upper floor the bedrooms, along with a built-in furniture platform that suits a sofa bed, a study or storage. Ten duplex layouts exist, eight of them two-bedroom and two three-bedroom.
Q: What makes the three-bedroom duplexes different from every other layout? A: They are the only three-bedroom homes in the building and the largest at 1,324 sqft. Two layouts, B1-DP and B1a-DP, are the same plan mirrored, in stacks 06 and 05, four units each and eight in the whole development. They sit directly above the B1 and B1a two-bedroom stacks, which face Suntec City at 70 to 74 metres, and at Levels 26 to 33 they clear the surrounding podium levels entirely.
Q: What ceiling height do the apartments have? A: On Levels 7 to 24 the architect’s schedule gives approximately 3.2 metres of finished ceiling to living and dining areas, on a floor-to-floor height of 3.5 metres. One-bedroom layouts carry 3.2 metres in the bedroom as well. Kitchens run to approximately 2.75 metres, where the mechanical and electrical services sit above, and bathrooms to 2.4 metres. A 3.2 metre ceiling at these unit sizes is unusual, and it is a large part of why the smaller homes read as larger than their floor area suggests.
Q: What is provided in the bathrooms and for laundry? A: Villeroy & Boch bathroom wares with Hansgrohe AXOR fittings throughout, in every unit type. Laundry is a Whirlpool washer cum dryer supplied as a single combined machine, so the function sits inside the apartment rather than in a separate service area. Wardrobes are customised with lit interiors, and every main door carries a digital lock set tied into the smart home hub.
Q: Why does the unit distribution chart look irregular? A: Three deliberate features, none of them a printing fault. Level 7 carries nine homes rather than ten, because the stack 08 position at that level carries the terrace connection instead of a unit. Level 25 is a full sky terrace with no apartments at all, which is why the duplex rows resume at Level 26 rather than continuing from Level 24. And Levels 27, 29, 31 and 33 carry no unit numbers, because each duplex is entered at the level below and the storey above belongs to it. The arithmetic closes exactly: nine, plus 170 across Levels 8 to 24, plus 40 duplexes, is 219.
