The Merlot

THE MERLOT
Over the 12 months to Mar 2026, The Merlot recorded 1 resale transaction at a median $1,382 psf (median price $1,220,000), and 12 rental contracts at a median $3,400/mo, a gross rental yield of 3.3%. Source: URA caveat data, as of Mar 2026.
The Merlot's median of $1,382 psf over the trailing 12 months places its pricing below roughly 63% of District 8 condos; resale liquidity has been limited with 1 caveat lodged; the 3.3% gross rental yield sits above the ~3% private-market benchmark. Figures reflect URA-registered resale caveats and exclude new-launch sales; weigh unit-specific factors — floor, facing and remaining lease — against this project-level average.

En-Bloc Potential
A heuristic read of land/redevelopment fundamentals — not a prediction that a collective sale will happen. Whether one succeeds hinges on owner consent, reserve-price expectations, and market timing. Only ~1 in 10 en-bloc attempts complete, and realised premiums have averaged ~14% (owners often expect 40%+). For an ageing leasehold, weigh this against near-certain lease decay while you wait.
