Union Square Residences: a dated launch review checklist

A current due-diligence framework for the residential, mixed-use and regeneration claims.

Published 12 November 2024

Updated September 2026. This is a dated launch retrospective, not a current price, availability or investment statement.

Assess the residential proposition independently

The original review presented Union Square Residences within a mixed-use Singapore River regeneration narrative. Buyers should evaluate the exact residence, access, servicing, construction programme and shared uses rather than assume the wider precinct creates value.

Use current records

Check URA developer-sales information for the relevant reference month and current transactions for comparable units. Compare total quantum, layout efficiency, floor, facing and tenure with completed alternatives.

Pressure-test regeneration claims

  • Which public plans are approved and funded?
  • Which benefits are already operating?
  • What construction and traffic disruption remains?
  • How do commercial uses affect privacy and costs?
  • Who is the likely future buyer at this quantum?

A landmark description and regeneration story do not guarantee capital growth or rental demand.
