THE FOLIAGE
UrbanLens Analysis
THE FOLIAGE commands $1,629 PSF -- 1% above what District 05 typically fetches ($1,618 PSF). Kent Ridge MRT is 1183m away (15-min walk), functional but not a headline selling point. Against ELTA at $2,547 PSF, the 36% discount is worth examining closely.
Prices have surged 17.0% in two years. That is strong performance, though buyers entering now face elevated downside risk. Just 2 transactions in two years -- thin liquidity means pricing carries wide confidence intervals. For context, PARC CLEMATIS has gained 5.9% over the same period.
Being freehold means zero lease-decay anxiety. Full CPF eligibility, maximum LTV, and a universally bankable asset. At 4.0% gross yield versus the RCR average of 3.5%, rental returns are above-market. The $4,455/month median rent makes this genuinely compelling for income investors.
The 88-unit size hits a practical sweet spot -- enough scale for decent facilities without the oversupply risk of mega-developments.
