DUO Residences is Bugis’s landmark integrated address: a 49-storey, 650-unit tower by Ole Scheeren, completed in 2017 by M+S, the Temasek and Khazanah joint venture. It trades at a median $2,250 psf while the newer towers next door trade from $2,550 up, and it out-rents almost everything in the Core Central Region.
The station is under the building. Bugis MRT (EW12/DT14) connects through a sheltered basement link, and 9 stations sit within 1km across five lines, from City Hall to Promenade. Andaz Singapore, Grade A offices and DUO Galleria’s dining share the same complex.
One honest fact up front: no primary school falls within the 1km ballot radius. Anglo-Chinese (Junior), Farrer Park and St. Margaret’s sit in the 1km to 2km ring. Under MOE’s P1 framework, that matters to balloting families, and our P1 registration guide explains exactly how. This tower’s buyers are rarely here for the ballot.
The mix says what the building is: 311 one-bedders, 197 two-bedders, then 55 three-bedders, 36 four-bedders and 2 penthouses. Nearly half the tower is compact stock built to let, and the letting numbers below show it working.
On tenure: the 99-year lease runs from 2011, leaving roughly 84 years as of 2026. For a CCR address at this price point, that clock is younger than most of the resale competition.

Bugis prices by generation. The 2023 to 2024 towers set the ceiling, DUO sits a full tier below on price while holding the only integrated hotel-office-retail stack in the subzone. The 4 sections below put numbers on that gap.
Most DUO Residences resale transactions fall between $2,123 and $2,401 psf, with a median of $2,250 psf. That covers 37 transactions recorded with URA across 2025 and 2026, what units actually sold for, not asking prices.
The structural gap is the story. Over the same 2 years The M (TOP 2023) traded at a median $2,550 psf and Midtown Modern (2024) at $3,001 psf, with Midtown Bay above that. DUO’s discount to the new generation runs 12 to 25% for a bigger site, a taller tower and the same station. City Gate (2014) trades at $2,126 and Concourse Skyline (2008) at $1,967.
Recent prints, as of August 2026: a 560 sqft 1-bedder at $1.31M, a 947 sqft 2-bedder at $2.35M on the 46th floor, and 1,528 sqft 3-bedders between $3.29M and $3.5M. 2026 prints run $2,137 to $2,481 psf, with the 41st floor and above setting the top of the band.

The size ladder, priced at the $2,250 psf median:
1-bedders, 420 to 743 sqft: about $945,000 to $1.67M.
2-bedders, 818 to 1,184 sqft, 1 or 2 baths: about $1.84M to $2.66M.
3-bedders, 1,432 to 1,722 sqft with 3 baths plus store: about $3.22M to $3.87M.
4-bedders, 1,841 to 1,927 sqft with 4 baths: about $4.14M to $4.34M.
Penthouses at 2,519 and 3,778 sqft crown the tower.
Layouts are efficient city formats: the hexagonal facade gives many stacks floor-to-ceiling bays with Marina Bay or Kallang views, and the 49th-storey height means the view premium is real and priced stack by stack.
Supply: the Bugis subzone’s residential stock is 3 modern towers: DUO (650 units), The M (522) and Midtown Modern (558), plus a handful of boutique buildings. Nothing new has launched in the subzone since Midtown Modern in 2021, and no residential site is on the pipeline here. The newer two price a full tier above.
Demand: this is tenant demand, not upgrader demand, and it is deep: 513 leases signed since January 2025, against 650 units. The offices and Andaz downstairs, plus the CBD 2 stops away, keep a captive professional tenant pool on the doorstep.
Rental: 1-bedders let at a median $4,600 a month, 2-bedders at $6,800, 3-bedders at $10,000. Gross yields run about 3.7 to 4.2%, where 2.5 to 3% is the CCR norm. On yield, DUO is the outlier in its own postcode.
The honest take: no school radius, one shared facilities deck for 650 units, and hotel-and-office traffic through the shared plaza. This is a city machine, not a family estate, and it should be bought as one. Our rental yield guide covers the letting math, and the URA Master Plan shows the Bugis-Ophir corridor’s next phase.
Investors chasing CCR yield with resale-level entry, city professionals who want the station under the lift lobby, and regional buyers who want a recognisable landmark address. The 3- and 4-bedders suit owner-occupiers who work downtown and trade the school radius for 9 stations.
Balloting families should look outward, and buyers who want the newest finish in Bugis are better served by Midtown Modern or The M, at their premium. For everyone else, DUO is the cheapest way into an integrated Bugis address, and the numbers say the tenants agree.
