The Hill @ One-North is a 99-year leasehold mixed development at 15 to 19 Slim Barracks Rise, and it is the smallest address in the precinct by a wide margin. Two things set it apart: just 142 homes across three low blocks, and the first keys in the one-north cluster. Kingsford launched it on 20 April 2024, with TOP expected in the fourth quarter of 2026, so this is a project counting down to handover rather than out to a distant one.
Buona Vista (EW21/CC22) and one-north (CC23) bracket Slim Barracks Rise, covering the East West and Circle Lines without a bus ride in between. Buona Vista is roughly 200m from the door and one-north roughly 350m, with Commonwealth (EW20) a third station inside 1km. A Circle Line commute reaches HarbourFront and Botanic Gardens without a transfer while the East West Line covers Raffles Place and Jurong, and Holland Village, Dover and Kent Ridge fill the 2km ring.
Schools are a genuine strength for a project this small. Fairfield Methodist School (Primary) sits inside the 1km band that decides a Primary 1 registration outcome, and Fairfield Methodist covers the secondary stage within the same radius. Henry Park Primary School and New Town Primary School follow inside 2km, alongside Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) and Queensway Secondary School. The international bench is unusually deep: Tanglin Trust, ACS (International), Dover Court and the United World College of South East Asia are all within 2km.
Three blocks of 10 and 11 storeys hold the 142 homes on a 5,936.6 sqm site at a plot ratio of 2.1. The mix skips one-bedders entirely: 72 two-bedroom units run 732 to 958 sqft, 64 three-bedders 947 to 1,259 sqft and six four-bedroom homes 1,227 to 1,410 sqft, across twenty layout types. Even the two-bedroom band starts at a size many projects would call a compact three.
Tenure runs 99 years from 10 January 2022, so a buyer taking keys at TOP starts with roughly 95 years on the lease, about as fresh as leasehold gets. Carpark provisioning is 138 lots plus four accessible lots against 142 homes, close to one per unit but not quite there. The trading record is where the rest of the picture sits.

The Hill @ One-North sells scarcity. One hundred and forty-two homes make it one of the smallest new developments in the Rest of Central Region, the six four-bedroom units are the rarest format on any shortlist in this precinct, and it reaches keys before every other launch around it. What follows is the record so far, the layout ladder and the pocket it sits in.
As of the most recent record, the last sixty caveats at The Hill @ One-North cleared between $2,074 and $2,506 psf with a median around $2,466 psf. Over the last twelve months of trading the median sits slightly higher at $2,485 psf across 86 caveats, with a top print of $2,590 psf, so pricing firmed as the stock ran down. Entry prices at launch were $1,819,020 for a two-bedroom, $2,356,900 for a three-bedroom and $3,076,000 for a four-bedroom, against launch-era estimates of roughly $2,073 to $2,708 psf.
The land bid explains the entry level. Kingsford paid $162,388,000 for the Slim Barracks Rise Parcel B site, or $1,210 psf per plot ratio, which by current standards came cheap. That is why the 2024 pricing at The Hill @ One-North now reads as the pocket baseline against the newer launches, rather than as its ceiling.
The caveat curve is short and decisive: 55 in the 2024 launch year, 84 through 2025 and two more in January 2026, 141 transactions against 142 units. The silence since January is empty inventory rather than weak demand. It also means a buyer today is shopping the subsale and resale market, and the price is whatever a private seller will take.
Context sits within walking distance. Blossoms by the Park is 190m away with 275 units for 2027, the direct comparison on connectivity at nearly twice the density. Bloomsbury Residences adds 358 units at Media Circle for 2028 and Hudson Place Residences 327 units for 2030, both trading connectivity for price, as our Hudson Place Residences review explains from the other side. One technical note before you compare: this project was acquired before GFA harmonisation, so its strata areas still include aircon ledges the newer rulebook excludes.
With the developer stock gone, every purchase here is a negotiation with one owner, and the right price depends on which of twenty layouts you are looking at. Speak to us before you offer and we will run the comparable prints with you, honest advice, no pressure. WhatsApp us.
The Hill @ One-North floor plan set is drawn around families and executive tenants rather than investors chasing the smallest quantum. The two-bedroom tier is 72 units from 732 to 958 sqft across nine layout variants, with study-inclusive formats through most of the range. The three-bedroom tier is 64 units from 947 to 1,259 sqft, again split between standard and study layouts. Six four-bedroom homes from 1,227 to 1,410 sqft cap the ladder, and with only six of them in the building they are the scarcest format on any resale shortlist in this pocket.
Run the arithmetic at the recent median of about $2,466 psf and The Hill @ One-North ladder maps out like this: the 732 sqft two-bedder lands near $1.8m and the 958 sqft format around $2.35m, the 947 sqft three-bedroom about $2.35m and the 1,259 sqft three-bedroom near $3.1m, with the four-bedroom band running roughly $3.0m to $3.5m. Treat those as arithmetic on the caveat record rather than quotes.
The prints show where the value sat. In January 2026 a 775 sqft two-bedroom transacted at $2,450 psf for $1,898,750 and a 1,227 sqft unit at $2,160 psf for $2,650,000. In October 2025 a 1,044 sqft three-bedroom cleared $2,450 psf for $2,557,800, and in September 2024 a 1,410 sqft four-bedroom went at $2,301 psf for $3,245,000. The large formats carry the lowest psf here, so quantum buyers bought the cheapest square feet in the building.
The facilities are themed around a rainforest idea and sized honestly for the project scale: a lap pool, kids pool and jacuzzi cove, a clubhouse and gym, then the Rainforest Waterfall, Cascading Stream, Lantern Trail and Serenity Garden filling the ground plane, with a side gate towards one-north Park. Our guide to boutique condos covers the trade-off plainly: 142 homes fund a modest deck compared with a 500-unit estate, because the same maintenance base pays for whatever gets built. What you get back is fewer neighbours per lift lobby and a carpark you can cross in a minute.
Size the pocket properly. The One North subzone holds seven private projects and about 2,038 units, and The Hill @ One-North is 142 of them, under seven percent. Only three of the seven are standing today, so this project takes the pocket from 936 completed private homes to 1,078, and it does that a full year before the next launch hands over. A landlord here is competing against a handful of neighbours rather than a hundred identical stacks in the same building.
That thinness cuts both ways and it should be said once, plainly. Small supply supports rent and it slows resale, so a seller in a quiet quarter may be waiting for the buyer who wants exactly this format. The counterweight is the format itself: 136 of the 142 homes are family-sized two and three-bedders in a district that mostly builds for tenants, so the buyer pool includes parents working the Fairfield radius as well as investors.
The demand side is deep. Roughly 44,030 HDB flats sit in Queenstown, 21,821 of them 4-room and above, which is the local upgrader base. Against that, the planning area holds 89 private projects and about 16,428 units, with 666 units at Skye at Holland and 462 at Penrith both landing in 2029 and 335 more on Dover Road in 2030.
The wider planning area frames the exit. Stirling Residences at 1,259 units from 2022, Commonwealth Towers at 845 from 2017, Queens Peak at 736 from 2020 and Margaret Ville at 309 from 2021 are the completed benchmarks. Tenure is 99 years across all of them, so the comparison is position, product and price, and our Q2 2026 property market review sets current pricing in national context.
Underneath it all is the tenant engine. Biopolis, Fusionopolis and Mediapolis surround The Hill @ One-North with researchers and technology professionals who look for a walking-distance home first, and housing inside the district boundary is thin against that workforce. The URA Master Plan keeps adding floor space on a published schedule, so the tenant base grows on a timetable rather than on hope, and our rental yields guide explains what that headline has to cover before you rely on it.
The Hill @ One-North suits buyers who want one-north exposure with real MRT access and boutique privacy, parents working the Fairfield Methodist radius, and landlords who value early completion into a district that is still building. The exit audience is the same short list, which is the honest shape of a 142-unit project: a narrower pool, but one that has few alternatives when it wants this address at this scale.
Renters see a clean brief. A near-new low-density address with two MRT stations inside 350m, a lap pool and a clubhouse, walking distance to Fusionopolis and Biopolis, is exactly what a relocating researcher or a young professional couple hands their agent. Until Blossoms by the Park completes in 2027, this is the newest completed address in the pocket, and landlords get to price that window.
Fit matters in the other direction too. Facility maximalists get more deck for their money at the larger launches, and two-car households should note the 138 lots against 142 homes.
