How the figures are worked out
- Plans are not drawn to the same scale. Tap a plan to zoom; the developer’s page is linked under it. Floor plans: Chong Kuo Development Pte Ltd, The Essence sales brochure. Developer's plans, subject to change; areas are approximate and include the balcony, air-con ledge, private enclosed space and any strata void. The 5th storey '-R' homes share their storey's drawing (dotted lines mark the high ceiling); 1st storey '-G' homes share the 2nd storey drawing, with the private enclosed space drawn above it. Mirror units are drawn once.
- Sun is hours of direct sun a day after 2pm, averaged over the year at the middle storey of the stack, after shade from the buildings around it. The table shows each layout’s coolest stack.
- Prices are the median of each layout’s recent resales (caveats lodged), not an asking price; storey and condition move a home’s price either way.
- Cash and instalment assume a Singapore citizen buying a first home, 75% loan at 2.5% over 30 years; the instalment is once the loan is fully drawn.
