The Orie

At The Orie you are buying the town as much as the tower. Toa Payoh carries fifty years of built amenity, a school bench most districts cannot match and, until this site went to tender, nothing new to sell a private buyer. The market answered fast, with 742 caveats lodged against 777 units by August 2026. The sections below cover the pricing, the ladder, the supply behind it and where the fit breaks.

The Orie Prices: The Benchmark a Decade in the Making

Start with the land. The Lorong 1 Toa Payoh site was secured for $968,000,000, a land bid of $1,360 psf per plot ratio, and the launch price list worked forward from that number. That bid reset central-region expectations, and it now sets the reference for whatever comes to tender next in this corridor.

As of August 2026, the last sixty caveats cleared between $2,395 and $3,044 psf at a median around $2,687 psf. Across the twelve months to August 2026 the median reads $2,713 psf over 29 caveats in a tighter $2,606 to $2,839 band, so pricing has held its level since the launch surge rather than drifting either way.

On the developer side there is little left to choose from. The two, four and five-bedroom types are sold out. What remains is the one-bedroom-plus-study from $1,467,000 at $2,838 psf and the three-bedroom dual-key from $3,024,000 at $2,676 psf. A buyer who wants any other format is negotiating in the subsale market instead, which changes the terms of the conversation entirely.

The neighbours frame the number. Gem Residences is the closest read at 578 units completed in 2019, roughly 130m away and now trading as young resale. One district over, Park Colonial brings 805 units from 2021, The Tre Ver 729 riverfront homes from 2022, The Woodleigh Residences 667 mall-integrated homes from 2023 and The Poiz Residences 731 from 2018. All of them run the same 99-year tenure, so the comparison is position, product and lease age rather than lease arithmetic. The freehold Arcady at Boon Keng sits on the other side of that question, and our guide to 99-year versus freehold sets out what the difference is and is not worth.

One technical note before you compare. The Orie was tendered after GFA harmonisation took effect, so its strata areas are measured under the stricter rulebook that leaves aircon ledges out. Older neighbours sell square feet that include area this project’s do not, and the honest comparison adjusts for that before it reads a psf gap.

The Orie Floor Plans: Twelve Layouts Across Two Towers

The Orie floor plan set is deliberately complete. It opens with 78 one-bedroom-plus-study homes at 517 sqft. The two-bedroom band is the largest single block at 310 homes: 78 one-bath units at 592 sqft, 77 two-bath at 646 sqft and 155 premium formats from 678 to 700 sqft. The family tier matches it almost unit for unit, with 78 three-bedders at 850 sqft, 78 three-bedroom premium layouts from 1,023 to 1,044 sqft and 39 dual-key homes at 1,130 sqft for households running two front doors. Above them sit 78 four-bedders at 1,216 sqft, 39 four-bedroom premium-with-study at 1,367 sqft and 77 five-bedders at 1,453 sqft.

Price that ladder at the August 2026 median of about $2,687 psf and it reads plainly. The 517 sqft one-bed-plus-study lands near $1.39m, the two-bedroom band between $1.59m and $1.88m, the 850 sqft three-bedder near $2.28m and the premium three-bedroom formats between $2.75m and $2.80m. The 1,130 sqft dual-key comes to about $3.04m, the 1,216 sqft four-bedder close to $3.27m and the five-bedroom top around $3.90m. Treat those as arithmetic on the caveat record rather than quotes, since stack, floor and facing move each one.

The live prints confirm the shape. A 1,130 sqft dual-key changed hands at $3,066,000 in August 2026, a 1,367 sqft four-bedroom at $3,748,000 in January 2026 and a 1,453 sqft five-bedroom at $4,018,000 in November 2025. Further back, a 646 sqft two-bedder cleared at $1,834,000 in October 2025 and a 517 sqft one-bed-plus-study at $1,485,000 in May 2025, the compact formats carrying the project’s highest psf as they usually do.

Forty storeys is the other half of the product. Toa Payoh is a town of low and mid-rise blocks, so high floors at The Orie look across the central region with little in the way, and no competing site nearby can replicate that. The facilities deck runs past forty stations, anchored by a 50m lap pool, a tennis court, a gymnasium with steam rooms, three gourmet pavilions, a co-working lounge, a pets corner and a meditation deck, threaded through podium and sky levels rather than gathered around one ground-floor pool. Maintenance fees are tiered simply at $375 a month for the one-bedroom-plus-study, $450 for the two and three-bedroom types and $525 for the dual-key, four and five-bedroom formats.

Is The Orie Worth Buying? The Supply Picture

Start from the pocket, not the district. The Braddell subzone holds just two private developments and about 1,367 homes, and the other one is Trevista, 590 units from 2011. The Orie is the only project under construction inside it. Private housing has never been the main event in this pocket, which is exactly why a single launch moves the whole conversation here.

Now the demand side. Toa Payoh town runs 386 HDB blocks and 50,074 flats, and 26,037 of them are 4-room or larger, the flat types upgraders sell from. That pool is many times deeper than the private stock beside it, and over 4,000 BTO flats in the cluster have crossed their minimum occupation period in the past decade. Our analysis of the real cost of holding your HDB sets out the arithmetic they run, and our HDB upgrading roadmap covers the sequencing most of them get wrong.

Supply is not about to catch up. The Toa Payoh planning area holds 41 private projects and roughly 11,112 homes, of which only 13 projects, some 6,193 units, date from 2016 or later. The pipeline after 2026 has exactly one entry, and it is The Orie itself. District 12 tells the same story from further out: 117 condominiums, about 11,622 private homes, only twelve projects under ten years old.

Absorption already answered the demand question. 742 caveats against 777 units by August 2026, with 735 of them lodged in 2025 alone, is not steady take-up. It is a project that cleared in its launch year and has run on balance stock since. Our Q2 2026 property market review puts the Rest of Central Region band in national context, and our 2026 new-launch shortlist ranks the wider field a buyer is choosing from.

The URA Master Plan carries the forward story. Caldecott holds future residential parcels that will be tendered against later land and construction costs, and those benchmarks tend to anchor the stock already standing. Two stops the other way, the expanding Novena health cluster renews a tenant stream of healthcare professionals and longer-stay medical visitors every year.

Who The Orie Suits

The Orie suits Toa Payoh upgraders who want to stay in the town they already know, school-driven families working four options inside the 1km band, and investors backing the tenant depth that Novena and the international campuses generate. St. Joseph’s Institution International, the Australian International School, Brighton College and EtonHouse International at Thomson all sit within 2km, which is why the family-sized stock here should let as readily as the compact stock.

Plan for the owner who comes after you. At completion the exit audience is the same upgrader wave, plus renters looking at the newest full-facilities address in a fifty-year-old town, 372m from Braddell and five stops from Orchard, against rental supply that is mostly older and smaller. Landlords holding the compact stacks get first claim on that gap, and our rental yields guide sets out what this belt has actually been sustaining once fees and vacancy are counted.

Fit matters in the other direction too. Lorong 1 runs beside the town’s busiest spine, so a household whose first priority is quiet should shop a calmer pocket. The Q4 2028 completion asks patience of exactly the families whose MOP window is open now, and a completed neighbour hands over keys the month the paperwork clears. Parking at The Orie is 627 lots against 777 homes, so two-car households should ask about allocation early rather than late.

Thinking about The Orie? The premium over the corridor’s completed resale is the live question, and it moves by stack, floor and facing rather than by headline. Before you commit, speak to us. We’ll run the numbers with you, honest advice, no pressure. WhatsApp us.
