Cuscaden Reserve is the newest tower in the Tanglin pocket west of Orchard Road: a 28-storey, 192-unit development at 8 Cuscaden Road, completed in 2023 by SC Global, New World and Far East Consortium on a 99-year lease. It trades at a median $3,203 psf, and its own subzone shows exactly what that number is buying.
Orchard Boulevard MRT (TE13) is the closest station, and it sits within 500m of the building. Napier (TE12) and Orchard (NS22/TE14) both also fall within the wider 1km band, giving the tower 3 stations to choose from without a car.
One honest fact up front: no primary school falls within the 1km ballot radius. Alexandra, Anglo-Chinese (Junior and Primary), Queenstown, River Valley and Singapore Chinese Girls’ all sit in the 1km to 2km ring instead. Under MOE’s P1 framework, that matters to balloting families, and our P1 registration guide walks through exactly how the phases work.
The mix says what this tower is built for: 22 one-bedders, 136 two-bedders and 18 three-bedders, with nothing larger. More than 70% of the building is 2-bedroom stock, which is the format this page’s numbers below are built around.
On tenure: the 99-year lease runs from 2018, which leaves roughly 91 years as of 2026, one of the youngest clocks in the Tanglin subzone. For a tower this new, the lease question is not urgent, and the buying case rests on location instead.

Tanglin holds 8 projects and about 855 units, ranging from 1980s-era freehold blocks to Cuscaden Reserve’s own 2023 completion. The subzone prices almost entirely by age and tenure, and Cuscaden Reserve sits in the middle of that ladder, newer than most, but leasehold where several neighbours are freehold.
Most Cuscaden Reserve resale transactions fall between $2,858 and $3,364 psf, with a median of $3,203 psf. That covers 15 transactions recorded with URA across 2025 and 2026, what units actually sold for, not asking prices.
Tenure explains most of the spread against its neighbours. Park Nova (TOP 2024, freehold) traded at a median $5,092 psf, and Boulevard 88 (2023, freehold) at $4,041 psf, both well above Cuscaden Reserve’s 99-year pricing. Closer in age but further down the ladder, 3 Orchard By-The-Park (2017, freehold) sold at $3,606 psf, while the older Cuscaden Residences (2002, freehold) traded at just $2,659 psf. Cuscaden Reserve’s own leasehold status is the clearest reason it prices below the freehold newcomers on the same road.
Recent prints, as of 2026: a 936.5 sqft 2-bedder at $2.92M on a mid floor, a 2,099 sqft 2-bedder at $7.3M in March 2025, and a 1,872.9 sqft unit at $6M in January 2026. The 2026 prints have clustered around $3,200 to $3,250 psf, close to the trailing median.

The size ladder, priced at the $3,203 psf median:
2-bedders, 753 to 936 sqft, mostly 2 baths, some with a study: about $2.41M to $3.00M.
2-bedders at 2,099 sqft with a study, the widest format in the tower: about $6.72M.
3-bedders, 1,163 sqft with 2 baths and a study: about $3.73M.
The 1-bedroom stock exists in the unit mix, but no confirmed floor size for it appears in our transaction ladder, so we have left the exact 1-bedroom sqft out rather than repeat an unverified figure. What the confirmed sizes show is a tower built almost entirely around 2-bedroom formats, with the 3-bedders and the one outsized 2,099 sqft unit acting as the exception, not the rule.
Supply: the Tanglin subzone holds 8 projects totalling about 855 units. The newest addition is Park Nova (2024, 54 units), which prices well above Cuscaden Reserve, and no further residential land is confirmed for the pocket. Cuscaden Reserve remains the newest 99-year tower on the street.
Demand: this is tenant demand, not upgrader demand, since Orchard has no HDB feeder town of its own. 80 leases were signed since January 2025 across the tower’s confirmed formats, against 192 total units, so roughly 4 in 10 homes here have changed tenants inside 18 months.
Rental: 1-bedders let at a median $6,000 a month, 2-bedders at $7,200, and 3-bedders at $10,000. Gross yields run about 2.9% to 3.6% across the formats, strongest on the smaller units.
The honest take: the site is compact at 5,722 sqm, which caps how much facility space 192 units can share, and there is no genuine family format above 1,163 sqft. Our rental yield guide covers how we read the letting numbers, and the URA Master Plan shows what else is planned for the Tanglin and Orchard corridor.
