What Could Work Against You

- The 13-unit size cuts both ways: exclusivity, but thinner resale liquidity and higher per-unit maintenance contributions than larger estates.
Best suited for
Who This Actually Suits
Buyers most likely to be happy here: single professionals, mrt-walkable commuters, cbd walking distance and yield-focused investors. Smaller-format units and RCR (Rest of Central Region) location suit solo buyers with a CBD-oriented career.
For long-term hold (10+ yr), it can work — but weigh the trade-offs before committing.
multi-generational families should probably look elsewhere. Larger unit configurations or dual-key layouts make this viable for 3-generation households.
