Solid, middle-of-the-pack project. Standout strengths: tenure, schools. Key weaknesses: future transformation, project size.

Factor breakdown

Project's Historical Performance25% weight

6/10

Avg Ann. of +4.11% — but from only 4 resale sales in the last 10 years, too thin a sample to read capital appreciation reliably, so the score is discounted toward the cohort average.

Primary School Effect20% weight

9/10

2 primary schools within 1km (nearest: HONG WEN SCHOOL at 0.55km). Exceptional school catchment — strong appeal for families with young children.

Project Size16% weight

3/10

11 units — very small project; niche product with thin resale market.

MRT Proximity13% weight

4/10

1.04km from Novena Mrt Stn (NS20) — weaker MRT access, likely requires bus or car for most trips.

Rental Yield10% weight

7/10

Rental yield of 3.79% — strong income return.

Tenure10% weight

10/10

Freehold tenure — no lease decay concerns, preserves long-term value.

Future Transformation6% weight

3/10

Limited future-catalyst exposure — nearest is Newton–Orchard mixed-use precinct at 1.99km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.

Primary schools within 1km: HONG WEN School, ST. Joseph's Institution Junior.
