Solid, middle-of-the-pack project. Standout strengths: tenure. Key weaknesses: total returns, project size.

Factor breakdown

Project's Historical Performance25% weight

4/10

Avg Ann. of -1.21% — but from only 2 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

7/10

2 primary schools within 1km (nearest: ANGLO-CHINESE SCHOOL (PRIMARY) at 0.60km). Strong school proximity — a genuine advantage for young families.

Project Size16% weight

3/10

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

MRT Proximity13% weight

7/10

0.69km from Newton Mrt Stn (DT11) — short walk to MRT, good transport convenience.

Rental Yield10% weight

4/10

Rental yield of 2.92% — below-average income return.

Tenure10% weight

10/10

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

Future Transformation6% weight

5/10

Moderate future-catalyst exposure — nearest meaningful driver: Newton–Orchard mixed-use precinct at 0.74km. Some forward-looking tailwind, but the impact is more diffuse than for adjacent-zone projects.

Primary schools within 1km: Anglo-Chinese School (Primary), Singapore Chinese Girls' Primary School.
