As the project is scheduled to obtain a Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) in March 2026, investors are expected to start generating rental income, which could support their loan instalments, Chu reckons.

Based on EdgeProp Landlens data, average monthly rents of existing apartment projects in the area, such as Altez, Eon Shenton and 76 Shenton, command rental rates ranging from $6.90 psf to $7.40 psf.
Looking ahead, Chu says the reduced competition from foreign buyers due to the hike in Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) imposed in 2023 has opened up more opportunities for local buyers to enter the market.
"Local demand is expected to continue being the key driver for Central Core Region (CCR) properties moving forward, with competitive pricing making these developments a desirable and stable investment choice," adds Chu.
