The site is leasehold, with about 0 years left to run. A tail that short materially narrows the pool of banks willing to finance a purchase. It sits on about 5,007 sqm of land with roughly 12,518 sqm of gross floor area.

1 transaction has been recorded here, at a median of S$390 psf. The most recent was in August 2025.

Observed medians on the street span S$1.14 to S$2.67 psf per month. These are street-level figures from undated JTC snapshots, not a rent quoted for this property.

An INDICATIVE street-level yield, not a yield for any particular unit: the current-quarter JTC street rent divided by the street's strata sale PSF median.

Street figures cover strata deals only — land and strata PSF are not comparable.
