Cube 8 Condo: Guide to Prices, Units, Location and Who It Suits

Cube 8 is a residential tower on Thomson Road, between Novena and Toa Payoh, developed by City Developments Limited (CDL). It is one of the smaller freehold projects in District 11, and people searching for a “Cube 8 condo” are usually weighing a city-fringe freehold address against newer, larger developments. Unlike the other guides in this series, which cover western Singapore, Cube 8 is in the central area. This guide sets out its facts, unit sizes, recent prices and rents, and who it suits, based on publicly reported information.

Cube 8 at a glance

Source: EdgeProp project page (URA records), OneMap and LTA, accessed 29 September 2026. Straight-line distances are shorter than the actual walk.

Unit sizes and layouts

Floor plans published on EdgeProp show a mix aimed at both owner-occupiers and investors:

• One-bedroom: about 560 sq ft
• Two-bedroom: about 890 to 930 sq ft
• Three-bedroom: about 1,340 to 1,480 sq ft (the most common type)
• Four-bedroom and penthouses: about 1,900 sq ft up to around 3,200 sq ft

Because it is a single tower, stack and facing matter a lot. Views, afternoon sun and exposure to road noise can differ sharply between stacks, so compare units on the same side of the building. Our guide on choosing a stack covers what to check. We have not verified a facilities list, so confirm it with the managing agent.

Cube 8 condo prices and rents

Based on URA caveat data shown on EdgeProp, resale transactions in the 12 months to September 2026 ranged from about S$1,787 to S$2,173 psf, averaging about S$2,024 psf. The highest deal in that period was S$2,173 psf for a 1,421 sq ft unit in July 2026. With 177 units, only a handful of units change hands each year, so check individual caveats rather than relying on the average.

On rents, URA rental data on EdgeProp shows an average of about S$5.0 psf per month over the past year, in a range of roughly S$3.9 to S$6.7 psf per month, with an implied gross yield of about 3.0%. The Novena medical cluster, including Tan Tock Seng Hospital, and the city-fringe location support rental demand.

By buyer profile, EdgeProp records about 75% Singaporean buyers, 14% PRs and 10% foreigners.

Location and amenities

Thomson Road is a major artery, so Cube 8 is well served by buses, with stops about 110 m away near the Thomson Flyover. Based on EdgeProp’s amenity data:

• Shopping: VIIO @ Balestier, Zhongshan Mall and Toa Payoh Mall are the malls in EdgeProp’s list, with FairPrice and Don Don Donki among nearby grocers.
• Primary schools: CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh) is within 1 km; Marymount Convent, St. Joseph’s Institution Junior, Pei Chun Public, Singapore Chinese Girls’ Primary and Kheng Cheng are within 2 km. Verify on OneMap.
• Secondary and JC: Catholic Junior College is about 830 m away; Beatty Secondary, Singapore Chinese Girls’ School, Raffles Girls’ School (Secondary), St. Joseph’s Institution and Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road) are within 2 km.

Owner reviews on EdgeProp mention noise from the nearby PIE and relatively high maintenance fees. These are individual opinions, but worth checking on a viewing: open the windows, and ask the managing agent for the current fee for your unit size.

Transport

Toa Payoh MRT on the North-South Line is about 820 m away in a straight line. Mount Pleasant station on the Thomson-East Coast Line is listed by EdgeProp as nearby, but LTA says it “will open in tandem with the completion of developments” in the area, with the date to be advised. For drivers, the PIE is close by.

Pros and cons

Who Cube 8 suits

• Buyers who want freehold in the city fringe with a relatively small, quieter development.
• Families targeting schools in the Novena, Toa Payoh and Bukit Timah belt.
• Medical professionals and landlords focused on tenants working around Novena.

Resale condo or new launch?

Cube 8 is a completed freehold tower in a central location; a suburban new launch trades location for a fresh lease, new facilities and, in some cases, rail at the door. One example is LinkTown Residences (Hougang Central Residences), an integrated condo planned directly above Hougang MRT, a future North-East Line and Cross Island Line interchange, with a new mall and bus interchange on site. It is being developed by CapitaLand Development, UOL and Kheng Leong, with about 830 homes and expected completion around 2030/2031. Analysts expect an average of around S$2,500 to S$2,600 psf; prices have not been released yet.

It is notable that a new OCR integrated launch is expected at a higher psf than this completed CCR freehold resale. That reflects the premium buyers pay for brand-new projects and integrated transport hubs, not a like-for-like comparison. Our new launch vs resale guide and LinkTown price estimate explain the assumptions, and the project overview has the facts.

LinkTown figures are estimates. Based on publicly reported information as at September 2026.
