What works in its favour
- Rental demand supports ~3.5% gross: Rental scores 9/10 — tenants are findable in this pocket, so an investor is not underwriting long vacancy between leases.
- Genuinely well-connected: Location scores 8/10 — MRT and daily amenities are within practical reach, which is what keeps both tenant demand and the resale pool deep.
- Precinct has a catalyst: Growth scores 8/10 — infrastructure or Master Plan work in the area gives this a reason to re-rate beyond general market drift.
- Entry price leaves room: Value scores 7/10 at ~$2,400 psf (entry from $1.25M) — you are not paying for the whole story upfront, which is where a margin of safety comes from.
What to watch out for
- Not a school-belt play: Schools score 5/10 — families treating P1 proximity as the deciding criterion will find better odds elsewhere, which thins one important slice of the resale pool.
Who Media Circle Parcel A suits
- Buyers who prioritise a central, well-connected address
- Yield investors — ~3.5% 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
- Families for whom P1 school access is the primary criterion
Huat Kueh says
One-North still transforming, 650 units — upside got runway. Solid all-round. Worth a proper viewing.
