Avg Ann. of -0.82% — bottom 12% within its 2013-era cohort. Weak capital appreciation, even when judged against vintage peers.
1 primary school within 1km (CHIJ PRIMARY (TOA PAYOH), 0.62km away). Adequate but narrow school optionality.
26 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.
0.77km from Novena Mrt Stn (NS20) — short walk to MRT, good transport convenience.
Rental yield of 2.72% — below-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 1.66km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
Primary schools within 1km: CHIJ Primary (TOA Payoh).
