What works in its favour
- Both anchors locked in: 702m to ANDERSON PRIMARY SCHOOL and 27m (~0-min walk) to Lentor MRT (Exit 1). 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.
- 3-bedder × investment — appreciation sweet spot: Sells into the deepest pool — owner-occupier families. That demand floor drives durable capital appreciation. The investor default for total return, not just headline yield.
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.
- 6 new launches competing in D26 · Upper Thomson / Springleaf: 6 active private launches in your district right now. More competing supply softens both rental and resale pricing power.
Who Lentor Modern suits
- Value-focused buyers comfortable with the location tradeoff
- Yield investors — ~3.2% gross is workable; favour larger unit types
- Forward-looking buyers comfortable waiting for precinct transformation to deliver
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers hunting deep relative value — the market has already priced in most of the story
- Short-term flippers — stamp duty + agent fees demand a 5-year minimum hold
- Buyers wanting a guaranteed top-tier primary within 1km walking distance

39 resales in a year, #1 in D26 — liquid. No resale deals logged all year — price discovery all yours.
