The Tre Ver
The Tre Ver is UOL Group and United Industrial Corporation's 729-unit riverfront flagship along the Kallang River in District 13, sitting between Potong Pasir MRT (NEL) and the maturing Bidadari estate. TOP-ed in 2021 on a 99-year lease from 2018, the project still offers roughly 92 years of runway — a meaningful premium over the typical resale RCR competitor with 85-90 years left. The development's identity rests on three pillars: UOL's reputation for build quality and active estate management, an unbroken north-facing river frontage that is genuinely scarce in the Rest-of-Central Region, and the gravitational pull of Bidadari's new town transformation just one MRT stop away. For owner-occupiers, the proposition is straightforward: a near-new RCR asset with city-fringe accessibility (8 minutes to Dhoby Ghaut on the NEL) at a pricing tier still below comparable CCR product. For investors, the calculation is more nuanced — 729 units means rental absorption depends heavily on the broader Potong Pasir/Bidadari catchment scaling its tenant pool, and the riverfront orientation, while attractive, sits within a designated flood plain that buyers should diligence carefully. On balance, The Tre Ver represents a defensible RCR position with above-average lease runway, but it is not a scarce-supply play.

The Tre Ver is a joint venture between UOL Group and United Industrial Corporation (UIC), two of Singapore's most established mainboard-listed developers. UOL's residential portfolio spans more than four decades and includes Avenue South Residence, Amber Park, and Meyer House — projects consistently noted by industry observers for their landscaping budgets and post-handover defect rectification. UIC, while less visible in the consumer market, contributes deep institutional capital and a longer holding-period bias, which historically translates into less aggressive cost engineering during construction. Together, the partnership delivered The Tre Ver on schedule in 2021 despite COVID-era supply chain disruption that pushed many peer projects six to twelve months beyond their projected TOP dates. Post-handover, the MCST has been notably active in maintaining the riverfront promenade and the project's signature cantilevered pool decks. Buyers evaluating UOL product should consult the BCA CONQUAS band for the development and review the AGM minutes for any unresolved defect claims — both are reasonable proxies for build quality that complement headline brand reputation.
Overview & Key Facts
The Tre Ver is a 729-unit riverfront condominium at Potong Pasir Avenue 1 in District 13, developed by UVD (Projects) Pte Ltd — a 50:50 joint venture between UOL Group and United Industrial Corporation (UIC). Completed in 2022, this development occupies the former Raintree Gardens HUDC site, which was collectively sold in 2016 for $334.2 million. The architectural pedigree is exceptional: The Tre Ver is designed by WOHA Architects, the Singapore firm celebrated globally for biophilic design masterworks like PARKROYAL on Pickering and Oasia Hotel Downtown. Two Asia-Pacific Property Awards — for Architecture and Development — were won before sales even launched.
At an average PSF of $1,980 and a trailing yield of 3.41%, The Tre Ver offers one of the strongest value propositions in the RCR. It is priced below every immediate competitor: Woodleigh Residences ($2,223), Park Colonial ($2,133), and Poiz Residences ($1,862 but with less land and no riverfront). The 3.41% yield — the highest among its peer set — reflects genuine rental demand from professionals drawn to the river setting and UOL’s build quality.
The trade-off is MRT proximity. Woodleigh MRT is 720 metres away and Potong Pasir MRT is 880 metres — both on the North-East Line. These are walkable distances, but neither is the 3-minute doorstep convenience that headline-grabbing condos advertise. For a development that excels in design, nature integration, and value, The Tre Ver asks buyers to accept a slightly longer commute in exchange for 200 metres of Kallang River frontage and WOHA’s signature biophilic architecture.
Location & Connectivity
The Tre Ver sits along a serene stretch of the Kallang River in Potong Pasir, a mature residential estate in District 13 that has quietly undergone significant transformation. The development commands over 200 metres of river frontage, with a landscaped promenade that connects to the Kallang Park Connector — a cycling and jogging network that links to Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park upstream and the Kallang Basin downstream. For runners and cyclists, this is an extraordinary asset: uninterrupted green corridors stretching kilometres in both directions, accessible directly from the condo’s ground level.
The most significant neighbourhood catalyst is Bidadari New Town, HDB’s flagship estate barely 800 metres to the northeast. Bidadari brings The Woodleigh Mall (opened 2022), Alkaff Lake, a 10-hectare Bidadari Park, and thousands of new residents who generate demand for services, retail, and community infrastructure. For Tre Ver residents, Bidadari effectively backfills the amenity gap that Potong Pasir historically suffered from — the nearest full-sized mall was previously NEX at Serangoon (2 km). The Poiz Centre at Potong Pasir MRT also provides local convenience retail and dining.
The stretch of Kallang River along The Tre Ver has been transformed under PUB’s Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Waters) programme. What was once an industrial drainage channel is now a naturalized waterway with lush riparian planting, kayak access points, and a riverside promenade. WOHA deliberately preserved the majority of existing mature trees along the riverfront, integrating them into the condo’s landscape design. The result is a surprisingly tranquil waterfront setting that feels far removed from its District 13 postal code.
Transport connectivity centres on two North-East Line stations: Woodleigh MRT (720m, ~9-minute walk) and Potong Pasir MRT (880m, ~11-minute walk). From either, Dhoby Ghaut interchange is four stops away, connecting to the North-South and Circle Lines. For drivers, the CTE and PIE are immediately adjacent, providing a 10–15 minute drive to the CBD. Schools within proximity include Stamford Primary (370m) and St. Andrew’s Junior College within walking distance, though the primary school options are not in the elite tier.

Facilities
Across its 201,405 sq ft of land — one of the largest residential plots in the Potong Pasir area — The Tre Ver delivers resort-grade facilities that leverage the riverfront setting to maximum effect. Three distinctive swimming pools anchor the landscape: an infinity pool overlooking the Kallang River, a lap pool within the garden podium, and a wading pool with hammock islands. The aqua gym, jacuzzi beds, and poolside cabanas create a resort atmosphere that UOL developments are known for. A fully equipped gymnasium, tennis court, BBQ pavilions, children’s playground, and function rooms complete the offering. The landscape cascades from the towers down toward the river in a series of terraced gardens designed by WOHA to blur the boundary between architecture and nature — an effect that earned the development its architectural awards.
“The hammock islands in the pool are pure genius — you float there on a weekend afternoon with the river as your backdrop and forget you’re in Singapore. UOL’s build quality is a cut above; after three years, everything still feels almost new. The landscaping is what makes Tre Ver special — it genuinely feels like a resort, not a marketing promise.”

Unit Sizes & Layout
The Tre Ver offers 729 units across nine blocks (three at 20 storeys, two at 19 storeys, four at 8 storeys), with 33 floor plan variations from 1-Bedroom (484 sq ft) to 4-Bedroom (1,335 sq ft). The unit mix is notably balanced compared to city-fringe competitors: a healthy proportion of 3- and 4-Bedroom units caters to families, not just investors. UOL’s finishing quality is consistently praised — marble bathroom floors, quality timber-look flooring, Hansgrohe fittings, and solid cabinetry are standard. Eighty percent of units enjoy either river views or swimming pool views, with the remaining twenty percent overlooking Woodleigh Park and the Bidadari skyline.
For river views, prioritise the tower blocks (20-storey) facing south and southwest toward the Kallang River. Mid-to-high floor units in these stacks command the best views and strongest resale premiums. The low-rise 8-storey blocks offer a more intimate, landed-like experience with garden-level access, but trade panoramic views for privacy and greenery. North-facing stacks overlook Woodleigh Park and the incoming Bidadari estate — pleasant and evolving views, though less dramatic than the river frontage. The 3-Bedroom units (around 1,000–1,100 sq ft) represent the sweet spot for own-stay families: spacious by today’s standards, with efficient layouts that waste minimal space on corridors.

Neighbourhood Comparison
In the Potong Pasir–Woodleigh corridor, The Tre Ver competes against three strong alternatives. Woodleigh Residences ($2,223 PSF, 667 units) sits directly above Woodleigh MRT with integrated mall access via The Woodleigh Mall — unbeatable MRT convenience, but at a 12% PSF premium and without riverfront views. Park Colonial ($2,133 PSF, 805 units) is closer to Woodleigh MRT than The Tre Ver and offers a colonial-themed design, but at a 7% PSF premium without the river frontage or WOHA architectural pedigree. Bartley Ridge ($1,698 PSF, 868 units) near Bartley MRT offers the lowest entry price in the area but is an older development (TOP 2016) without the design distinction or river setting.
The Tre Ver’s distinct advantage is the combination of riverfront positioning, WOHA architecture, UOL build quality, and sub-$2,000 PSF pricing — no competitor matches all four. Buyers who prioritise MRT convenience should choose Woodleigh Residences. Those who want the best quality-to-price ratio in a nature-integrated setting should choose The Tre Ver.
| Development | Tenure | TOP | Units | ~Avg PSF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| THE TRE VER | 99 yrs lease commencing from 2018 | 2021 | 729 | $1,989 |
| THE WOODLEIGH RESIDENCES | 99 yrs lease commencing from 2017 | 2021 | 667 | $2,229 |
| BARTLEY RIDGE | 99 yrs lease commencing from 2012 | 2018 | 868 | $1,708 |
| PARK COLONIAL | 99 yrs lease commencing from 2017 | 2021 | 805 | $2,145 |
| THE POIZ RESIDENCES | 99 yrs lease commencing from 2014 | 2019 | 731 | $1,867 |
| SENNETT ESTATE | Freehold | 2021 | — | $1,928 |
Lease Decay Analysis
The 99-year lease runs from 2018, meaning approximately 8 years have already been consumed. Roughly 91 years remain — still comfortably within the range where most banks will offer full financing without restrictions.
| Year | Lease remaining | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 (now) | ~91 years | Full bank financing available |
| 2048 | ~69 years | CPF usage still unrestricted for most buyers |
| 2057 | ~59 years | Approaching 60-year threshold — CPF limits begin for some |
| 2077 | ~39 years | Significant financing restrictions for next buyer |
| 2117 | Expiry | Lease reverts to state |
For a buyer purchasing today with a 10-year horizon (exit around 2036), the lease situation is essentially a non-issue — you’d be selling a property with ~81 years remaining, which is still very bankable. The risk profile changes for longer holds.

What Residents Say
“We looked at Park Colonial and Woodleigh Residences, but the moment we walked the Tre Ver grounds along the river, the decision was made. The WOHA landscaping is genuinely beautiful — the terraced gardens cascading down to the water are extraordinary. Our 3-bedder is finished to a standard I’ve not seen in other RCR condos at this price.”
— Owner-occupier, Stacked Homes forum, 2024
“I rent out my 2-bedder at $3,850 a month. The tenant is an expat engineer who cycles to work along the Kallang Park Connector. At sub-$2,000 PSF purchase price, the yield is excellent by RCR standards. The UOL quality means minimal maintenance issues — I’ve had zero repair calls in two years.”
— Investor-owner, HardwareZone property forum, 2025
“The MRT walk is the only real downside. Potong Pasir station is about 11 minutes on foot — fine on a cool morning, uncomfortable in the afternoon heat. I usually grab a bus from the stop right outside the condo. But for what you get — the river, the pools, the finishing quality — it’s hard to find better value anywhere in D13.”
— Resident since 2023, 99.co review, 2025
The investment case rests on four pillars and one meaningful caveat. First, the 99-year lease commencing in 2018 leaves roughly 92 years of runway as of this review, which positions the asset favourably against the typical D13 resale comparable at 85-90 years — a difference that begins to matter at the ten-to-fifteen-year holding horizon when buyers start pricing in lease-decay discount curves. Second, UOL's developer pedigree supports a modest brand premium that has held through resale cycles for the developer's other RCR projects. Third, the NEL connectivity and Bidadari halo provide a structural tailwind to tenant demand that should outlast any near-term cyclical softness. Fourth, the riverfront frontage is genuinely scarce within the RCR. The caveat: 729 units is a large absorption number, and any concentrated owner exit phase — typically four to six years post-TOP — can pressure transaction prices even when underlying demand is healthy. Investors should pencil out gross yield carefully using the rental yield calculator against current rental comparables, and stress-test the holding cost using the mortgage calculator for a range of MAS-tracked interest rate scenarios. The URA caveats database remains the cleanest source for transaction-level price discovery.
The Tre Ver is a credible RCR position for buyers who value lease runway, developer pedigree, and a genuine riverfront amenity over scarcity-driven capital upside. For owner-occupiers prioritising connectivity and a near-new finish, the project compares favourably against most D13 and D14 alternatives in the same price band. For investors, the 729-unit absorption profile and flood-plain consideration argue for entering at the lower end of the prevailing transaction range and underwriting a six-to-eight-year hold rather than a three-to-five-year flip. The Bidadari halo and NEL connectivity provide a structural floor under rental demand that should harden over the next five years as the new estate matures. Net assessment: a solid B+ RCR asset with above-average lease runway, fairly priced at current market levels, and best suited to medium-horizon holders rather than short-cycle traders.

The Tre Ver's facility set is built around its riverfront frontage, with a 200-metre lap pool, cantilevered pool decks projecting over the Kallang River, and a continuous landscaped promenade that connects to the broader Park Connector Network. The 50-metre infinity pool, three additional themed water features, a fully-equipped gym, function rooms, and a tennis court round out the resort-style amenity package. The clubhouse design — credited to UOL's longstanding collaboration with WOHA Architects — uses cross-ventilation and deep eaves to reduce reliance on air-conditioning in common areas, a small but compounding contributor to lower monthly maintenance fees relative to peer 700-plus-unit projects. Maintenance fees as reported by owners run in the typical RCR range for the unit-mix profile, and the sinking fund position at recent AGMs has been characterised as healthy. The riverfront promenade is a genuine differentiator: while several D13 and D14 projects market "water views," The Tre Ver's frontage is contiguous and walkable rather than glimpsed across a road, which materially affects how the amenity is used day-to-day.
The Tre Ver's address along Potong Pasir Avenue 1 places it within a five-minute walk of Potong Pasir MRT on the North-East Line, putting Dhoby Ghaut at eight minutes, HarbourFront at eighteen, and Punggol at twenty-two. The NEL's direct connection to the Circle Line at Serangoon and the Downtown Line at Little India gives residents three-line reach within fifteen minutes — a connectivity profile competitive with many CCR addresses. The Bidadari new town, one MRT stop north, is adding roughly 10,000 BTO units, a regional sports hub, and the upcoming Woodleigh Mall extension, all of which deepen the catchment without directly competing for the same buyer pool. Road access via the PIE and CTE is straightforward, with town-centre travel times of fifteen to twenty minutes outside peak. Schools within one kilometre include Stamford American International School and Cedar Primary, while Maris Stella High School sits just over the one-kilometre threshold. For a granular view of how D13 pricing compares against neighbouring city-fringe districts, the price heatmap is the cleanest starting point.
Three risk vectors deserve diligence. The first is absorption pressure: with 729 units, even a modest cohort of investor-owners simultaneously listing for rent or sale can soften pricing in the immediate term, and Potong Pasir's surrounding rental tenant pool — while growing with Bidadari — is still maturing. The second is flood-plain exposure: the Kallang River corridor is a designated flood-prone area under PUB's drainage classification, and while the development itself was engineered to current code with elevated ground floors and improved drainage, prospective buyers should review the PUB flood management maps and confirm contents-insurance availability at competitive premiums. The third is RCR pricing positioning: The Tre Ver transacts at a premium to many D13 alternatives but at a discount to inner CCR comparables, which means upside is bounded by what buyers will pay to stay on the city-fringe rather than cross the CTE into D11 or D9. Before committing, compare the project side-by-side against alternative D13 and D14 launches using the compare tool, and benchmark the all-in psf against the district median to confirm the entry price is defensible relative to the broader market.
The 729 units span seven blocks ranging from twelve to twenty-three storeys, with a mix that skews toward one- and two-bedroom configurations consistent with UOL's RCR investment-focused product strategy. One-bedroom units start around 484 square feet, two-bedrooms range from 657 to 786 square feet, three-bedrooms from 947 to 1,184 square feet, and four-bedroom premium and penthouse stacks extend to 1,755 square feet. Layout efficiency is strong on the two- and three-bedroom stacks, where bay windows and planter voids — common dead-space culprits in 2018-launch product — were largely eliminated in favour of usable internal floor area. North-south orientations dominate the river-facing blocks, an important consideration in Singapore's solar geometry where east-west exposure can add meaningfully to air-conditioning load. Buyers should verify stack-specific facings on the developer's site plan, as the curved block geometry means a small number of units face directly east or west despite the project's overall north-south alignment.
