18 Mount Sophia, Singapore 228482; 28 Handy Road, Singapore 229240; 30 Handy Road, Singapore 229241
Haus on Handy is CDL’s boutique address on Handy Road, and the pitch here is location, not price discovery: zero resale transactions have been recorded with URA in 2025 or 2026, so this review works from rents, floor plans and subzone peers rather than a median psf. The 99 year leasehold project at 28 and 30 Handy Road and 18 Mount Sophia was completed in 2023 by CDL. Two low rise blocks of 12 storeys hold 188 units across 22 stacks.
The MRT is the address. Dhoby Ghaut interchange sits within 500m of the door, and the walk covers 3 lines, North South, North East and Circle. Bencoolen station is inside the same 500m band, with Bras Basah, Rochor, Somerset, Fort Canning and Bugis all within 1km.
One school falls inside the 1km ballot radius: Saint Margaret’s Primary School. Under MOE’s P1 registration framework, home school distance decides ballot priority in the later phases, and our P1 registration guide walks through the phases. Anglo-Chinese Junior, Farrer Park, River Valley and St Joseph’s Institution Junior sit in the 1km to 2km ring.
The 188 homes split 69 one bedders, 93 two bedders and 26 three bedders, with no 4 or 5 bedroom stock at all. That mix keeps the building compact and rental focused rather than family scaled.
On tenure, the 99 year lease runs from May 2018, leaving roughly 91 years as of 2026. That is one of the youngest clocks in the Mount Sophia pocket, and it matters more than usual here because the price case below has almost no transaction record to lean on.

Dhoby Ghaut’s condo row has almost nothing this new. Haus on Handy is the youngest completed stock in its own subzone and sits on the busiest interchange in the district, yet URA has not recorded a single resale print since completion. The 4 sections below work with what the record does and does not show.
Haus on Handy has zero transactions recorded with URA across 2025 and 2026. That is not a gap in this review, it is what the market has actually done: no resale unit has changed hands and reported to URA in this window, so there is no median psf to quote and none should be invented.
What the record does show is the subzone. In the Dhoby Ghaut pocket, Visioncrest (TOP 2007) traded at a median $2,395 psf across 17 transactions, Suites at Orchard (2014) at $2,095 psf, One Oxley Rise (2009) at $1,963 psf, and Nomu (2009) at $2,556 psf on a thin 2 transactions. None of these projects carry a livefree.sg page yet. Haus on Handy is newer than all 4, which argues for pricing at or above the top of that band once a print does land, but that is a read on the neighbourhood, not a fact about this address.
Rents tell the demand side instead. 148 leases have been signed since January 2025 against 188 total units, at medians of $4,300 for a 1 bedder, $5,500 for a 2 bedder and $7,700 for a 3 bedder. That is a tenant market moving fast, even with the sale side quiet.

The ladder, in sqft, since no 2025-26 median psf exists yet to price it against:
1 bedders, 560 to 570 sqft, one plain and one plus store format.
2 bedders, 592 to 926 sqft, all single bath, several with a plus store option pushing size up toward 850 and 926 sqft.
3 bedders, 947 to 1,141 sqft, 2 bath, with a plus store variant at 1,119 and 1,141 sqft.
Every format tops out under 1,150 sqft. This is a building built for rental turnover and single professional or couple occupancy, not family scale, and the plus store options across the 2 and 3 bedroom bands are the only nod to storage need.
Supply: the Dhoby Ghaut subzone holds 9 projects totalling about 960 units. Haus on Handy, completed 2023, is the newest of the 9. Nothing has launched in the pocket since, and nothing in the subzone peer list is under construction.
Demand: with no HDB town feeding this address, the demand case is tenant depth, not upgrader arithmetic. 148 leases since January 2025 against 188 units is a turnover rate few CCR projects match, and the interchange underneath explains why: young professionals and students at the nearby institutions form the bulk of the tenant pool.
Rental: medians run $4,300 for a 1 bedder, $5,500 for a 2 bedder and $7,700 for a 3 bedder. Gross yield cannot be honestly calculated with no recorded sale price, so treat any yield figure quoted elsewhere for this address as unverified until a transaction lands.
The honest take: buying here today means pricing off subzone peers, not off Haus on Handy itself, because URA has nothing on file yet. 2 low rise blocks on a 4,796 sqm site keep facilities modest, and Handy Road itself carries daily traffic. Our rental yield guide covers how we read letting numbers once price data exists, and the URA Master Plan shows what else is coming to the Museum planning area.
Tenant focused investors comfortable buying ahead of a transaction record, city professionals who want a triple line interchange under their block, and buyers who value the newest completion date in the Mount Sophia pocket over a proven resale trail.
Buyers who need price certainty before they commit should wait for the first print, or look at Visioncrest or Suites at Orchard in the same subzone, both of which carry an active transaction history even without a livefree.sg page. For everyone else, Haus on Handy is a location bet dressed as a condo.
