The Continuum Review — Thiam Siew Ave · D15
HuatScore: 74/100 — Solid Choice!
Is The Continuum a good buy?
HuatScore rates The Continuum 74/100 — a "Solid Choice!" verdict. That makes it a solid buy for buyers who prioritise a central, well-connected address and investors chasing a workable ~3.4% yield. Strongest card: Both anchors locked in. Main watch-out: Thin transaction volume. Negotiate hard — pricing leaves little margin of safety.

What works in its favour
- Both anchors locked in: 819m to KONG HWA SCHOOL [SAP] and 726m (~9-min walk) to Cc9 MRT (Exit F). Strictly within the P1 1km zone, plus walkable to the nearest MRT entrance. This is the non-negotiable demand anchor — kiasu parents AND yield-chasing investors are both your buyers.
- Popular primary inside 1km — KONG HWA SCHOOL: KONG HWA SCHOOL is SAP. These primaries are heavily oversubscribed, so addresses inside the 1km P1 zone hold a durable premium — kiasu parents will pay up to keep this option open.
- Sensible price gap: Launch PSF only +13% above local resale benchmark. Headroom for capital appreciation intact.
- Deep future upgrader pool: Live count: 20 HDB blocks within 2km cross the 5-year MOP between 2025 and 2028 (of 344 HDB blocks total within 2km). These upgraders are your most natural buyers when you exit.
What to watch out for
- Thin transaction volume: Only 0 resale deals in the past year. Equity trap risk — when you want to exit, very few buyers to anchor against.
- Quiet resale demand: Demand pulse 0/100 — only 0.0% annual turnover (0 resales/12mo). Thin secondary-market activity; exits can be slow.
- 4 new launches competing in D15 · Katong / East Coast: 4 active private launches in your district right now. More competing supply softens both rental and resale pricing power.
Who The Continuum suits
- Buyers who prioritise a central, well-connected address
- Yield investors — ~3.4% gross is workable; favour larger unit types
- Forward-looking buyers comfortable waiting for precinct transformation to deliver
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who need a margin of safety — pricing is full and leaves little room for error
- Short-term flippers — stamp duty + agent fees demand a 5-year minimum hold
- Families for whom P1 school access is the primary criterion
Huat Kueh says
Freehold + 816 units in D15? Rare combo. Just don't choke on the 20% gap.
