Avg Ann. of -0.66% — bottom 13% within its 2015-era cohort. Weak capital appreciation, even when judged against vintage peers.
1 primary school within 1km (ST. JOSEPH'S INSTITUTION JUNIOR, 0.70km away). Adequate but narrow school optionality.
74 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.
0.59km from Novena Mrt Stn (NS20) — short walk to MRT, good transport convenience.
Rental yield of 3.56% — above-average income return.
Freehold tenure — no lease decay concerns, preserves long-term value.
Limited future-catalyst exposure — nearest is Newton–Orchard mixed-use precinct at 1.62km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
Primary schools within 1km: ST. Joseph's Institution Junior.
