Eight Riversuites: Condo Guide to Prices, Units, Location and Who It Suits
Eight Riversuites is an 862-unit, 99-year condo on Whampoa East beside the Kallang River, near Boon Keng MRT. Facts, recent psf, rents and who it suits.
Eight Riversuites is a large riverside condo on Whampoa East, close to Boon Keng MRT and the Bendemeer food centre. When it was selling new, it was one of the more active city-fringe launches for buyers on a mass-market budget, and today it trades often on the resale market. This guide covers the Eight Riversuites facts, recent prices and rents, and who it suits, based on publicly reported information.

Eight Riversuites prices and rents
Based on URA caveat data shown on EdgeProp (12 months to September 2026):
- Average resale price: about S$1,833 psf.
- Range: about S$1,227 to S$2,055 psf.
- Highest psf in the period: about S$2,055 psf in August 2026, for a 700 sq ft unit.
- Rents: averaging about S$6.1 psf per month (range roughly S$3.2 to S$7.8 psf pm), an implied gross yield of about 4.0%.
For context, EdgeProp reported in 2015 that Eight Riversuites accounted for the largest number of new-sale caveats among city-fringe units of 701 to 900 sq ft in its price band at the time. EdgeProp’s records also show that a little over half of buyers came from HDB addresses, which fits its reputation as an upgrader-friendly city-fringe condo. These are past figures, not predictions.
Location and amenities
Eight Riversuites sits beside the Kallang River, with the park connector along the river close by for walks and cycling. Bendemeer Market and Food Centre is about 330 m away, and a FairPrice outlet is nearby. EdgeProp lists The Venue Shoppes as the nearest mall, with larger malls such as City Square Mall a few stops away by train.
For families, EdgeProp lists Bendemeer Primary, Hong Wen School and St. Andrew’s School (Junior) within 1 km, and St. Andrew’s Junior College about 1.2 km away. Verify on OneMap before relying on primary school priority.
Boon Keng (NE9) is on the North-East Line, which runs direct to Farrer Park, Little India, Dhoby Ghaut and Outram Park, and in the other direction to Serangoon (Circle Line interchange), Hougang and Punggol. Geylang Bahru (DT24) on the Downtown Line is another option. Drivers are close to the CTE and PIE.
Pros and cons
- Pros: short walk to an NEL station; riverside setting; one stop from Farrer Park and a quick ride to the city; relatively new for a resale condo (2016); an active resale and rental market.
- Cons: 99-year lease already running since 2011; limited large-mall shopping within walking distance; some units face the river canal or surrounding blocks rather than open views; large developments can feel busy around shared facilities.
Who Eight Riversuites suits
It suits buyers who want a city-fringe home near an MRT station at a lower average psf than many newer RCR projects: HDB upgraders, young families, and investors targeting tenants who work in the city or at the hospitals along the North-East Line. Buyers who want to move in now rather than wait for a new build will also find it practical.
It may suit you less if you want freehold tenure, a mall at the doorstep or a brand-new building.
Resale condo or new launch?
Because Eight Riversuites is on the North-East Line, a natural new-launch comparison is LinkTown Residences (Hougang Central Residences), a new integrated condo planned above Hougang MRT (NE14), five stops up the same line from Boon Keng.

| Tenure | 99 years from 2011 | 99 years (GLS site awarded January 2026) |
| Region | RCR (District 12) | OCR (District 19) |
| Units | 862 | About 830 (reported) |
| Transport | ~420 m to Boon Keng (NEL) | Directly linked to Hougang MRT; future Cross Island Line interchange |
| Retail | Food centre and neighbourhood shops nearby | Integrated ~300,000 sq ft mall and bus interchange |
| Price | ~S$1,833 psf average (12 months to Sep 2026, URA via EdgeProp) | ~S$2,500 to S$2,600 psf (analyst estimate; prices not yet released) |
Eight Riversuites is closer to the city and available now at a lower average psf, but its lease started in 2011. LinkTown Residences offers a fresh 99-year lease, a mall and a direct MRT link, with completion expected around 2030/2031 and a higher expected psf.
