Homejourney Editorial
Hawaii Tower is a long-established freehold Singapore condo along Meyer Road in prime District 15 (East Coast, Marine Parade), known for its exceptionally large three-bedroom units and tranquil, resort-like feel just opposite East Coast Park.[1][4][2] This Homejourney guide brings together verified data, on-the-ground experience and practical advice to help you decide whether Hawaii Tower fits your home or investment plans.
Hawaii Tower is a mid-1980s freehold condominium in Marine Parade, fronting Meyer Road with four blocks (73, 74A, 75 and 77 Meyer Road) rising up to 21 storeys.[1][4] It sits in one of District 15’s most established private residential enclaves, with East Coast Park just across the ECP and the new Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) MRT stations nearby.[2]

According to URA’s Master Plan, this part of Meyer Road is zoned for private residential use, creating a low-density, predominantly condo/landed environment with an established reputation for tranquillity and proximity to East Coast Park.[2]
Homejourney verifies project details against URA records and MCST sources to give you a safe, trusted starting point before you commit to any transaction.[7]
Hawaii Tower is unusual by today’s standards because it offers primarily one large unit type: three-bedroom apartments of about 2,239 sq ft, far bigger than most modern three-bedders that often range between 900–1,200 sq ft.[1][4][8]
| Unit Type | Approx. Size (sq ft) | Typical Layout Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 3-bedroom | ~2,239 sq ft (all units similar)[1] | Large living/dining, enclosed kitchen, yard, helper’s room/utility, 3 bathrooms |
Listings and project information consistently state that all 135 units are 3-bedroom configurations of roughly 2,239 sq ft, making this a niche, family-centric development.[1][3][8] There is no official evidence of smaller 1- or 2-bedroom configurations, studios, or typical penthouse variations, although some high-floor units effectively enjoy penthouse-like views due to the 21-storey height.[1]
From viewing multiple units over the years, typical Hawaii Tower apartments share these characteristics (layout details may vary slightly by stack and renovation):
As a 1984 development, Hawaii Tower did not launch with built-in smart home systems, but many owners have retrofitted smart lighting, digital locks, and Wi-Fi-enabled aircon controls over time.[1][3] When assessing units, pay attention to:
For a 135-unit project, Hawaii Tower offers a solid spread of full-condo facilities, reflecting its original positioning as a higher-end, spacious development along Meyer Road.[1][4][5]
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Swimming pool, tennis courts, squash court, clubhouse[1][4][5] |
| Social | BBQ pits / barbeque area, function / clubhouse spaces[1][4][5][6] |
| Kids | Playground[1][4] |
| Parking | Covered car park / parking[1][4] |
| Security | 24-hour security, gated compound[1] |
The resort-style pool is a central feature, often noticeably less crowded than in mega-developments because there are only 135 units sharing the facilities.[1][6] Long-term residents often highlight the ability to get a tennis court slot or pool lane without much competition, especially on weekday evenings.
Security is standard for private condominiums in this area – guarded entrance, visitor registration, and CCTV coverage of common areas.[1] As with any older development, you may want to review MCST circulars and AGM minutes (via your lawyer or agent) for upcoming major maintenance works, which could impact future sinking fund contributions.
Hawaii Tower’s location along Meyer Road is one of its key selling points: a quiet, upmarket residential stretch with direct access to East Coast Park and quick connectivity to both the CBD and Changi Airport.[2][4]
With the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) opening progressively, the nearest stations are:
Edgefield-style sources and local walking experience indicate around 400–500m to Katong Park MRT, which is manageable for most residents, though families with young children may prefer stroller-friendly routes via sheltered walkways where available.[2][4] Several bus services along Mountbatten Road and Tanjong Rhu Road connect to the CBD, Orchard, Marine Parade and Paya Lebar, providing alternatives to train travel.[2]
Hawaii Tower sits just off the East Coast Parkway (ECP), which is the primary expressway for much of the East Coast area.[2] In typical off-peak conditions:
The area also connects reasonably quickly to Nicoll Highway and the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE), although you typically access KPE via Mountbatten or Tanjong Katong / Fort Road, depending on your route.[2] For drivers, parking is within the compound, and you avoid the typical congestion of Marine Parade Central since Meyer Road is mainly residential.
District 15 is one of Singapore’s most established city-fringe private residential areas, covering Tanjong Rhu, Meyer, Marine Parade, Katong, Amber Road and Joo Chiat.[2] This district is prized for:
Meyer Road itself is considered one of the most prestigious stretches within D15, with many older, spacious condominiums like Hawaii Tower alongside newer premium launches.[2]
From living and working around East Coast and Marine Parade, one of the biggest advantages of Hawaii Tower is how quickly you can get to both nature (East Coast Park) and daily essentials (supermarkets, malls, hawker food) within a 5–10 minute drive or short bus ride.[1][2][5][7]
Key nearby retail and grocery options include:
For residents who prefer not to drive, buses along Mountbatten Road and Marine Parade Road connect quickly to these nodes, and grocery delivery is standard across the area.
District 15 is one of Singapore’s foodie hotspots, and Hawaii Tower sits within a short drive or a comfortable cycle to many favourites:[1][2]
For residents, a realistic pattern is: weekday dinners at Marine Parade or nearby hawker centres, and weekend walks or cycles to East Coast Park for brunch or seafood dinners by the sea.
According to URA and MOE school location data, as well as neighbourhood information for Marine Parade and Katong, residents at Hawaii Tower can access several notable schools (distances are approximate and should be verified for MOE distance priority during P1 registration):
The Meyer / Mountbatten belt is traditionally popular with families precisely because of this mix of good local and international schooling options within a short commuting radius.
Healthcare and recreation options include:
From experience, living near East Coast Park fundamentally changes your weekend habits – it becomes easy to do morning jogs, cycling with kids, or casual picnics by the sea without the hassle of driving and parking far away.

As a large-format freehold condo in D15, Hawaii Tower generally trades at a lower PSF but higher absolute quantum compared to newer, smaller-unit projects nearby.
Based on recent rental listings and typical D15 freehold resale trends, a reasonable working range (as of 2025–2026) for Hawaii Tower 3-bedroom ~2,239 sq ft units would be:
These are estimates extrapolated from URA caveats for comparable-sized freehold units in Meyer/Amber and are not official valuations. Buyers should always cross-check current caveats, which Homejourney can help interpret via Projects Directory and the dedicated Hawaii Tower project page Projects .
Indicative rental data for Hawaii Tower shows monthly rents ranging around S$6,200–S$8,900 for 3-bedroom units of about 2,200–2,500 sq ft over the last year, depending on floor, condition and furnishings.[3][4] One recent listing, for example, advertised a 3-bedroom unit at about S$8,900/month for ~2,500 sq ft.[3]
Using rough numbers:
This gives a gross rental yield of approximately 2.1%. After accounting for property tax, maintenance fees and occasional vacancy, net yields might trend below 2% for many owners.
This yield profile is typical for large-format freehold condos in prestigious city-fringe locations, where buyers often prioritise capital preservation, long-term appreciation and lifestyle enjoyment over high yields.

In broad strokes (not specific numbers), Hawaii Tower usually:
For investors, this means you should be comfortable with a bigger upfront cheque and moderate yield, betting more on long-term land value and the scarcity of large freehold units in an established prime city-fringe district.
Every development has trade-offs. Homejourney’s role is to highlight both the strengths and potential drawbacks clearly so you can make a safe, well-informed decision.
Ultimately, whether Hawaii Tower is “worth the price” depends on how you value size, tenure, and location versus building age and renovation needs.
Hawaii Tower’s investment story is driven mainly by its freehold land, limited supply of large-format units, and the long-term uplift of the East Coast / TEL corridor.
Key factors supporting long-term value:
Risks or uncertainties to consider:
From observed rental listings and local leasing experience, typical tenants at Hawaii Tower include:
With monthly rents for large units in the S$6,000–S$9,000+ range, landlords usually target higher-income households and may face slightly longer vacancy if the unit is not competitively priced or well-renovated.[3][4]
Resale liquidity is generally decent for Meyer Road freehold condos, particularly when the broader D15 market is healthy, but the pool of buyers for S$4M+ large apartments is naturally narrower than for mass-market units.
