Avenue South Residence: City-Fringe Living on the Greater Southern Waterfront
Updated 2026-10-27
Avenue South Residence is a 1,074-unit leasehold development on Silat Avenue in District 3, completed in 2023 by UOL. With the Circle Line now closing its loop at nearby Cantonment and Keppel stations, and the Greater Southern Waterfront transformation under way, the development sits at the centre of one of Singapore's most watched corridors.
What is Avenue South Residence?
Avenue South Residence is a 99-year leasehold condominium at 1 Silat Avenue in the Kampong Bahru area of District 3, developed by UOL and completed in 2023. It comprises two 56-storey towers and five conserved low-rise heritage blocks, housing 1,074 units in total.
The twin towers are among the tallest residential buildings in the southern corridor, offering unobstructed views of Keppel Harbour, the city skyline and, from higher floors, the sea. Facilities include pools, a gym, barbecue pits, a mini golf zone, a boulder climb and a function room on the 56th floor with panoramic views. Maintenance sits at around S$295 per month.
How far is Avenue South Residence from the nearest MRT?
The nearest MRT station is now Cantonment (CC31), which opened on 12 July 2026 as part of Circle Line Stage 6. Keppel station (CC30) opened on the same date. Before these stations arrived, the closest option was Outram Park, roughly a 16-minute walk away.
Cantonment station sits within a shorter walk and places residents on the full Circle Line loop, connecting directly to HarbourFront, Buona Vista, one-north and Marina Bay without transfers. The CTE and AYE are both accessible by car within minutes, putting the CBD under a ten-minute drive. Bus services along Silat Avenue and Kampong Bahru Road also connect to Orchard and Bugis.
Prices and housing stock at Avenue South Residence
Hombble currently lists 140 units for sale at Avenue South Residence, all condominiums. The average asking price is S$1,721,755 for an average size of 724 square feet, which works out to about S$2,367 per square foot.
Recent resale transactions across the development have ranged from roughly S$1,800 to S$2,450 per square foot, depending on floor level, facing and unit size. The lower end of the range typically reflects compact one-bedroom units or heritage-block apartments, while the higher per-square-foot figures correspond to upper-floor tower units with sea or city views. The development has seen a softening in per-square-foot prices over recent quarters, in line with a broader cooling in new-completion resale volumes across the city fringe.
Which schools are near Avenue South Residence?
Several well-regarded primary schools fall within the surrounding area, including Radin Mas Primary School, CHIJ (Kellock) and Zhangde Primary School. Bukit Merah Primary School and Alexandra Primary School are also nearby.
For secondary education, Crescent Girls' School, Outram Secondary School and Henderson Secondary School are all accessible within the broader Bukit Merah district. Multiple childcare centres operate in the neighbourhood, among them Montessori Spooner on Spooner Road and Modern Montessori at Bukit Merah.
Amenities and daily life around Silat Avenue
Tiong Bahru Plaza, about a ten-minute walk north, is the main neighbourhood mall and houses a FairPrice supermarket, food court and a range of retail shops. The Tiong Bahru estate itself is one of Singapore's most established food and cafe districts, with Tiong Bahru Market offering hawker staples alongside a growing cluster of independent cafes and bakeries along Yong Siak Street.
Closer to the development, smaller convenience options include FairPrice Shop and Hao Mart outlets. For larger grocery runs, VivoCity at HarbourFront is a short drive or bus ride south. The area is notably quiet for its proximity to the CBD, with mature trees along Silat Avenue and low-rise HDB blocks creating a settled residential feel.
Outlook: Greater Southern Waterfront and what it means for this address
Avenue South Residence sits on the northern edge of the Greater Southern Waterfront, Singapore's largest urban redevelopment programme since Marina Bay. The plan covers roughly 2,000 hectares of southern coastline from Pasir Panjang to Gardens by the Bay, with land being progressively freed as port operations relocate to Tuas by 2027.
The former Keppel Golf Course site, a short distance south, is being redeveloped into a new residential neighbourhood of around 9,000 HDB and private homes. HDB launched its first BTO project on this site, the Berlayar estate of approximately 1,960 units, in June 2026. Combined with the new Circle Line stations and waterfront promenades planned for the Keppel area, the southern corridor is gaining infrastructure and population density that did not exist when Avenue South Residence was first marketed.
For current owners, the transformation strengthens the long-term location story but also introduces new competing supply. For buyers considering entry now, the asking prices already reflect some of this upside, so the practical question is whether the pace of infrastructure delivery and the scale of the waterfront precinct justify current per-square-foot levels relative to comparable city-fringe developments further from the action.
