Investment Value
The development, which is just next to the MRT train and couples with the fact its freehold status are definitely rare especially in the Western Region of the island. With the current port shifting out and the future development will definitely bring the increase in property valuation.

Moreover by looking through the rest of the surrounding plots, this development is one of the few that has a 3.0 gross plot ratio. It is due to the fact that the port was still around during the time of construction that’s why this development has to remain as low rise. In order to change the plot ratio will definitely take some time. Once the port has completely shifted out, this development need not wait for the change of the plot ratio before it can redevelop.
