The Tre Ver

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

Strengths & Weaknesses

Verdict

The Tre Ver is that increasingly rare thing in Singapore’s property market: a development where the quality genuinely exceeds the price point. At $1,980 PSF, it undercuts every major competitor in the Potong Pasir–Woodleigh corridor while delivering WOHA-designed architecture, UOL build quality, and 200 metres of Kallang River frontage. The 3.41% trailing yield is the highest in its peer set, confirming that renters are willing to pay a premium for the river lifestyle and finishing quality. For buyers seeking the best quality-to-price ratio in the RCR, The Tre Ver is a benchmark.

The weaknesses centre on location practicalities. The MRT walk — 720 metres to Woodleigh, 880 metres to Potong Pasir — is manageable but not convenient in tropical rain or Singapore’s midday heat. The Potong Pasir neighbourhood, while improving rapidly with Bidadari’s maturation, still lacks the walkable urban buzz of more central locations. And the 91-year remaining lease, while adequate, means this is not a development to hold indefinitely without monitoring the lease clock post-2050.

The honest verdict: The Tre Ver is best suited for owner-occupiers who prioritise quality of living environment over MRT doorstep access — people who value waking up to river views, swimming in hammock-island pools, and jogging along the Kallang Park Connector. It is also a strong investment proposition at sub-$2,000 PSF with a 3.41% yield floor. But buyers who need to commute daily by MRT and value every minute of walking time should consider Woodleigh Residences or Park Colonial, which trade river frontage for closer station access. The Tre Ver rewards those who slow down enough to appreciate what WOHA and UOL built here — a riverside retreat within the city.
