Factor breakdown

Project's Historical Performance25% weight

2/10

Avg Ann. of +1.67% — bottom 11% within its 2002-era cohort. Weak capital appreciation, even when judged against vintage peers.

Primary School Effect20% weight

2/10

No primary schools within 1km — school access is limited, particularly for parents prioritising Primary 1 registration.

Project Size16% weight

5/10

150 units — boutique development. Lower transaction frequency and limited shared facilities.

MRT Proximity13% weight

9/10

380m from Orchard Boulevard Mrt Stn (TE13) — direct, walk-in MRT access. Strong commuter appeal.

Rental Yield10% weight

2/10

Rental yield of 2.33% — weak income return.

Tenure10% weight

10/10

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

Future Transformation6% weight

4/10

Limited future-catalyst exposure — nearest is Newton–Orchard mixed-use precinct at 1.56km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
