Avg Ann. of +3.12% — near-median performance within its 1980-era cohort (43th percentile).
1 primary school within 1km (RAFFLES GIRLS' PRIMARY SCHOOL, 0.55km away). Adequate but narrow school optionality.
272 units — good project size supporting active resale market and adequate facilities.
1.05km from Tan Kah Kee Mrt Stn (DT8) — weaker MRT access, likely requires bus or car for most trips.
Rental yield of 3.48% — above-average income return.
99YR tenure — about 48 years remaining; severe lease decay meaningfully constrains financing, resale pool, and long-term value retention.
Limited future-catalyst exposure — nearest is Bukit Timah Turf City new housing cluster at 0.79km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
Primary schools within 1km: Raffles Girls' Primary School.
