175 units — boutique development. Lower transaction frequency and limited shared facilities.
60m from Orchard Mrt Stn (NS22) — direct, walk-in MRT access. Strong commuter appeal.
Rental yield of 2.61% — below-average income return.
99YR tenure — about 79 years remaining; some long-term decay exposure but not imminent.
Limited future-catalyst exposure — nearest is Newton–Orchard mixed-use precinct at 1.24km, far enough that the impact on this project is modest.
