Highline Residences is a Keppel Land condo on Kim Tian Road, on the edge of Tiong Bahru. Its tall, slim towers designed by W Architects stand out among the surrounding HDB blocks, and its short walk to Tiong Bahru MRT, Tiong Bahru Plaza and the famous market makes it one of the more sought-after city-fringe resale condos. This guide sets out the Highline Residences facts, recent prices and rents, and who it suits, based on publicly reported information.

Unit types and sizes
EdgeProp describes a unit mix of one- to four-bedroom apartments. Floor plans published on its project page range from a one-bedroom of about 506 sq ft to larger units of roughly 2,260 sq ft, with two-bedroom plans of about 635 to 743 sq ft and three-bedroom plans of roughly 880 to 1,200 sq ft. The highest psf deal in the past year was a 1,109 sq ft unit. As always, check which parts of the strata area are usable; our guide to reading a floor plan explains the common traps.

Highline Residences prices and rents
Based on URA caveat data shown on EdgeProp (12 months to September 2026):
- Average resale price: about S$2,500 psf.
- Range: about S$2,075 to S$2,841 psf.
- Highest psf in the period: about S$2,841 psf in August 2026, for a 1,109 sq ft unit.
- Rents: averaging about S$7.6 psf per month (range roughly S$4.4 to S$9.2 psf pm), an implied gross yield of about 3.6%.
When it was selling new, EdgeProp reported in December 2017 that Keppel Land had about 50 units left at the 500-unit project, with steady monthly sales based on URA developer sales data. These are past figures, not a forecast.
Location and amenities
Location is Highline’s main strength. EdgeProp’s amenity data puts Tiong Bahru Market and Food Centre about 290 m away, Tiong Bahru Community Centre about 280 m, and Tiong Bahru Plaza (with a FairPrice supermarket) about 360 m, above the MRT station. A FairPrice outlet on Kim Tian Road is even closer. The Tiong Bahru heritage estate, with its cafés and pre-war flats, is a short stroll away.
For families, EdgeProp lists Alexandra Primary, CHIJ (Kellock) and Zhangde Primary within 1 km, and Gan Eng Seng Primary, Radin Mas Primary, Cantonment Primary and River Valley Primary within 2 km. Verify on OneMap before primary school registration.
Tiong Bahru (EW17) on the East-West Line is one stop from Outram Park, where you can change to the North-East Line or Thomson-East Coast Line, and a few stops from Raffles Place and the CBD. Havelock (TE16) on the Thomson-East Coast Line gives a second route to Orchard and the Marina Bay area. Our condo near MRT guide explains how to judge real walking distance.
Pros and cons
- Pros: short walk to Tiong Bahru MRT and plaza; close to the CBD; Tiong Bahru’s food and heritage character; relatively new (2018); architect-designed towers of up to 35 storeys, with views from higher floors; solid rental demand from city workers.
- Cons: higher psf than many other RCR resale condos; 99-year lease running since 2013; a dense urban setting with limited greenery on site; smaller units in the mix mean some layouts are compact.
Who Highline Residences suits
It suits professionals and couples who work in the CBD or around Outram, buyers who like Tiong Bahru’s lifestyle, and investors targeting city-based tenants. It may suit you less if you want freehold, a lower entry psf, or a quieter suburban setting with more space for the money.
Resale condo or new launch?
Highline’s average of about S$2,500 psf sits right at the lower end of the S$2,500 to S$2,600 psf analysts expect for LinkTown Residences (Hougang Central Residences), a new integrated condo planned above Hougang MRT (NE14). From Tiong Bahru it is one stop to Outram Park, then direct on the North-East Line to Hougang.
| Highline Residences | LinkTown Residences | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Completed 2018; resale | New launch; sales expected early 2027 (UOL’s August 2026 results guide a 2H 2027 launch) |
| Tenure | 99 years from 2013 | 99 years (GLS site awarded January 2026) |
| Region | RCR (District 3) | OCR (District 19) |
| Units | 500 | About 830 (reported) |
| Transport | ~360 m to Tiong Bahru (EWL) | Directly linked to Hougang MRT; future Cross Island Line interchange |
| Price | ~S$2,500 psf average (12 months to Sep 2026, URA via EdgeProp) | ~S$2,500 to S$2,600 psf (analyst estimate; prices not yet released) |
At similar psf, the choice is about what you are buying. Highline is closer to the city and ready to live in, but its lease started in 2013. LinkTown Residences offers a new lease, an integrated mall and bus interchange, and a future two-line MRT interchange in the north-east, with completion expected around 2030/2031. Read our new launch vs resale guide, the LinkTown price estimate and the LinkTown Residences overview. For another city-fringe option, see our City Square Residences guide.
