105 Sophia Road, Singapore 228170
Sophia Regency is a 38-unit freehold block at 105 Sophia Road, developed by East Asia on a 12,328 sqft site, 1 block of 5 storeys across 8 stacks. It is the smallest and newest freehold address on the Mount Emily slope, and it is built almost entirely for singles, couples and investors rather than families.
The transport is the headline. Dhoby Ghaut (NS24, NE6, CC1), Bencoolen (DT21), Little India (NE7, DT12), Rochor, Somerset and Bras Basah all sit inside 1km, which is 6 stations across 6 lines, with 14 more inside 2km including Orchard and Novena. Almost nothing in Singapore is more than 30 minutes from this door.
Two primary schools fall inside the 1km priority band, Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) and St. Margaret’s School (Primary), with Farrer Park, River Valley and St. Joseph’s Institution Junior in the 1km to 2km ring. Under MOE’s P1 registration framework home-school distance decides priority in the later phases, and ACS (Junior) inside 1km is a genuinely valuable position. Our P1 registration guide explains how the phases run.
The mix is compact throughout: 24 one-bedders and 14 two-bedders, 38 homes in total. There is no 3-bedroom stock, so the family who wants the ACS catchment has to want it in 2 bedrooms.
On tenure: Sophia Regency is freehold, on a hill where the largest project, Sophia Hills, is 99-year. Freehold title on a small cheque in the Core Central Region is the specific offer here.

Mount Emily holds 33 projects and about 2,476 units, mostly small freehold blocks from the 2000s and 2010s. Sophia Regency is one of only 2 new freehold projects on the hill, alongside Duet @ Emily, and neither has an established resale record yet.
Sophia Regency is too new to have a resale record of its own, so the hill around it sets the reference, and the hill is well documented.
The hill itself is well priced. Over the same 2 years Duet @ Emily, the other new freehold project here, transacted at a median $2,506 psf, Liv on Sophia (2016) at $2,325 psf, Liv on Wilkie (2017) at $2,313, 1919 (2015) at $2,194, Sophia Hills (2018, 99-year) at $2,115, Parc Emily (2008) at $2,103 and Sophia Residence (2014) at $2,009. That puts the working band for Mount Emily at roughly $2,000 to $2,500 psf, with the newest freehold stock at the top of it.
For reference, the project launched from $1,599,000 at $3,272 psf in November 2022. That launch rate sits well above every completed project on the hill, which is the single most important thing a buyer here should understand.

The plans in the bank are limited to 2:
A 753 sqft layout with 2 bathrooms and a store.
A 947 sqft layout with 1 bathroom and a store.
Both are coded as 2-bedroom, and no 1-bedroom plan is on file at all even though 24 of the 38 homes, nearly two thirds of the project, are one-bedders. Anyone buying the compact stock here is buying a layout we cannot yet show, so ask for the developer’s plan directly and we will check the area against the sales record.
At the hill’s working band of $2,000 to $2,500 psf, a 753 sqft home implies roughly $1.51M to $1.88M and a 947 sqft home roughly $1.89M to $2.37M. Those are reference figures from the subzone, not prints from this project.
Supply: Mount Emily holds 33 projects and about 2,476 units, an average of 75 homes each. The hill’s conservation fabric and small plots mean nothing of scale can be assembled, so new freehold supply arrives in 20 to 40 unit blocks or not at all. Sophia Regency and Duet @ Emily are the entire current crop.
Demand: there is no HDB town in Rochor and no upgrader pool, so the buyer here is a city investor or a first-time private buyer, and tenants carry the longer-term case. Six MRT lines within 1km, plus the ACS (Junior) catchment, is an unusually strong combination for a project at this quantum.
Rental: Sophia Regency is too new to have a letting record, so there is no yield to quote. Comparable compact stock on the hill lets steadily, but that is context and not evidence for this address. Our rental yield guide sets out how we will test it once leases appear.
The honest take: the launch rate carries a new-build premium over the hill’s completed stock, there is no resale record yet to check it against, only 2 floor plans are on file for a 38-unit project, and 5 storeys with 38 homes means facilities will be minimal. The URA Master Plan shows what is committed around Selegie and Rochor before you commit.
City professionals and couples who want freehold title within walking distance of 6 lines, families balloting for ACS (Junior) or St. Margaret’s who can live in 2 bedrooms, and investors who want a small cheque in the Core Central Region. Owner-occupiers who value the walk to work are the natural fit.
Buyers who want scale, facilities and a visible transaction record should look at Sophia Hills on the same hill, which is 99-year but far more liquid. Anyone who needs 3 bedrooms has no option in this block.
