9 Slim Barracks Rise, Singapore 139742
Blossoms by the Park is a 275-unit 99-year leasehold mixed development at 9 Slim Barracks Rise, and it solves the problem the rest of one-north lives with. Two things do the work: two MRT stations inside a few hundred metres, and an oversubscribed primary school inside the 1km ballot band. EL Development launched it in April 2023 and TOP is expected in the fourth quarter of 2027.
Buona Vista (EW21/CC22) links the East West and Circle Lines about 200m from the lobby, with one-north (CC23) about 350m the other way. That is two lines on foot, in rain, with groceries, and it is the compromise most homes in this precinct never escape. Commonwealth, Holland Village, Kent Ridge and Dover fill the 2km ring.
For families, Fairfield Methodist School (Primary) sits inside the 1km radius that decides ballot priority under P1 registration, and it is one of the west most consistently oversubscribed schools, with fewer than 1,500 private homes inside that radius. Our complete guide to the 2026 Primary One registration exercise explains how the phases and distance bands actually decide a ballot. Henry Park Primary School and New Town Primary School follow inside 2km, and the secondary layer within 1km is Fairfield Methodist School (Secondary) and Anglo-Chinese School (Independent).
A single 27-storey tower holds the 275 homes above ground-floor commercial space on a 7,957.3 sqm site at a plot ratio of 3.0, which is what pushes one tower up rather than spreading blocks across the plot. The mix runs eight formats across four bedroom counts, from 549 sqft one-bedroom-plus-study units to 1,507 sqft four-bedroom premium layouts. 125 units are compact and 150 carry three bedrooms or more, including an unusual 50-unit dual-key tier at 915 sqft.
Tenure runs 99 years from 10 January 2022, so a buyer taking keys in late 2027 starts with roughly 93 years on the lease. The carpark holds 110 residential lots plus seven commercial lots against 275 homes, a low provisioning ratio that a two-car household should treat as a shortlisting question. The pricing is where the rest of the story shows up.

EL Development is a Singapore developer founded in 2007 from the construction firm Evan Lim & Co, with a steady record across residential and industrial projects. Its portfolio includes Pullman Residences Newton, Blossoms by the Park, Parc Riviera, Symphony Suites, and Illuminaire on Devonshire, reflecting practical planning and efficient use of space. The firm is known for disciplined project execution, reliable delivery timelines, and a grounded approach to design and specifications. Its construction heritage supports sound build quality and technical capability, including experience in industrial developments. For buyers, the value lies in functional layouts, straightforward finishes, and projects that are executed as planned without unnecessary complexity.
Blossoms by the Park gives an owner two buyer pools instead of one. The investor prices it off the walk to Buona Vista and the one-north tenant base, the parent prices it off the Fairfield Methodist radius, and those two groups rarely soften at the same time. The sections below cover the trading record, the ladder and the supply behind it.
As of July 2026, the last sixty caveats at Blossoms by the Park cleared between $2,017 and $2,673 psf with a median around $2,457 psf. Over the twelve months to July the median sits lower at $2,397 psf across only 19 caveats, so the recent tape is both thinner and softer than the longer window. That is the normal shape of a sold-out project once the launch crowd clears: fewer trades, and prices set by whoever needs to move rather than by a price list.
The land bid explains why the floor sits where it does. EL Development paid $320,100,000 on 11 October 2021, or $1,246 psf per plot ratio, and launch pricing ran $2,196 to $2,750 psf against it. The record since is emphatic at Blossoms by the Park: 276 caveats against 275 units, with 225 landing in the launch year, then 29 in 2024, 17 in 2025 and five by July 2026. The developer price list shows every residential row sold out, and the only line left is a commercial restaurant unit at $13,000,000. Buyers today are negotiating with an owner, not with EL Development.
Position frames the premium. Bloomsbury Residences sits 1.28km away with its nearest station at 960m, and Hudson Place Residences is 1.41km away on a similar footing, as our Hudson Place Residences review sets out. Same precinct, same tenant pool, a station walk two to three times longer. Skye at Holland brings 666 units at 940m for 2029 from the other side. What Blossoms by the Park charges over the Media Circle set is the price of that walk, and it is the cleanest thing to test unit for unit.
One technical note before you compare. This project was acquired before GFA harmonisation took effect, so its strata areas still include aircon ledges that the newer rulebook excludes. Set its psf against a post-harmonisation launch and you are not comparing identical square feet.
Buying into a sold-out project means the price is whatever one seller will take that month, which cuts in your favour as often as against you. Before you offer, speak to us and we will run the stack and the recent prints with you, honest advice, no pressure. WhatsApp us.
The Blossoms by the Park floor plan set is short and deliberate. The compact half is 125 units: 25 one-bed-plus-study at 549 sqft, 50 two-bedders at 678 sqft and 50 two-bed-plus-study at 721 sqft, the formats a single professional or a couple on a two-year posting actually takes. Above them sit the 50 dual-key three-bedders at 915 sqft, the 1,044 and 1,076 sqft three-bedroom pair, and the 1,302 and 1,507 sqft four-bedders.
Price the ladder at the July 2026 median of about $2,457 psf and it reads cleanly: the 549 sqft lands near $1.35m, the 678 sqft two-bedder around $1.67m, the 721 sqft version close to $1.77m, the 915 sqft dual-key about $2.25m, the 1,044 sqft three-bedder roughly $2.57m, the 1,302 sqft four-bedder near $3.20m and the 1,507 sqft premium about $3.70m. Treat those as arithmetic on the caveat record rather than quotes, because subsale asks in a thin market move around them.
The prints show the spread. A 721 sqft two-bed-plus-study cleared $2,355 psf for $1,698,000 in July 2026, a 1,507 sqft four-bedroom premium $2,386 psf for $3,596,000 in February 2026 and a 1,884 sqft penthouse $2,017 psf for $3,800,000 in May 2026. Set those against the 549 sqft one-bedder that went at $2,692 psf in June 2023 and the 915 sqft dual-key at $2,662 psf in October 2024, and the pattern is plain: the early compact trades set the high psf marks and the large formats have come in under them.
The dual-key tier is the format worth a second look. It lets an owner live in the main unit and rent the studio portion against the mortgage, or house a multi-generation family behind two front doors, and in a district with this tenant depth that flexibility is worth more than it would be in a suburban town. Our rental yields guide sets out what the belt has been sustaining. The deck behind it runs a 50m lap pool, a wellness pool, a kids pool, a gym with steam rooms, a yoga deck and a viewing pavilion, with a side gate into one-north Park.
Count the pocket rather than the district. The One North subzone holds seven private projects and about 2,038 units in total, and they arrive in a queue. On the day Blossoms by the Park hands over in late 2027, only 1,353 of those units will be standing: the three completed estates, The Hill @ One-North with 142 homes in 2026, and this project. Bloomsbury adds 358 in 2028 and Hudson Place 327 in 2030 behind it. Owners here become landlords before the bulk of the new supply lands.
The demand side is deeper than the supply side by a wide margin. The 253 HDB blocks in Queenstown hold about 44,030 flats, 21,821 of them 4-room or bigger, which is the pool a private step comes out of. It is why a 275-unit tower beside an interchange does not need a national market to clear.
The planning area is the honest counterweight. Queenstown holds 89 private projects and about 16,428 units, and the pipeline after 2026 puts 666 units at Skye at Holland and 462 at Penrith into 2029, with 335 more on Dover Road in 2030. Those launches compete for the same upgrader, though none carries both an interchange walk and the Fairfield radius.
The completed benchmarks frame the exit. Stirling Residences brings 1,259 units from 2022, Commonwealth Towers 845 from 2017, Queens Peak 736 from 2020 and Margaret Ville 309 from 2021. Every one of them runs the same 99-year tenure, so what separates them is position, product and lease age, not lease maths. Our Q2 2026 property market review puts the Rest of Central Region in national context.
Behind all of it sits the employment engine. Biopolis, Fusionopolis and Mediapolis put biomedical firms, research institutes and start-ups inside a fifteen minute walk, and the URA Master Plan keeps adding laboratory, office and residential capacity across one-north on a published schedule. The site also sits on high ground, and 27 storeys clears most of the district height-controlled campus blocks, so the upper stacks look across the greenery towards the southern ridges.
Blossoms by the Park suits investors who want the district best MRT access, parents working the Fairfield Methodist radius, and owner-occupiers employed inside one-north who value the walk over the floor area. The exit audience at TOP is the same two-sided pool, which is the structural advantage here: a landlord selling in a soft rental year can still sell to a parent, and the reverse holds.
Fit matters in the other direction too. Large families will find the Blossoms by the Park mix tops out at a 1,507 sqft four-bedder, so the Media Circle launches carry the bigger formats. The Buona Vista junction brings traffic hum to the lower west-facing stacks, which is a stack question rather than a project question. And 110 residential lots against 275 homes is the limit to settle before you shortlist, not after.
Thinking about Blossoms by the Park? Its spread against the newer Media Circle launches is the cleanest comparison in one-north right now. Before you commit, speak to us. We will run the numbers with you, honest advice, no pressure. WhatsApp us.

Blossoms by the Park presents a good opportunity, especially for rental yield and stable tenancy given its location and product mix. But if your primary goal is high short-term capital gains, the upside may be more moderate, this is a more conservative value-investor or long-term hold proposition.
Blossoms by the Park is suitable for families, especially those who value connectivity, lifestyle convenience, and space in a central neighbourhood. If your family prioritises large green plots, ultra-quiet suburban roads or landed space, you may want to compare with more suburban options, but given the location, it offers a strong blend of family living + convenience.
