Trilive Review — Potong Pasir · D13
HuatScore: 73/100 — Solid Choice!
Is Trilive a good buy?
HuatScore rates Trilive 73/100 — a "Solid Choice!" verdict. That makes it a solid buy for value-focused buyers comfortable with the location tradeoff and patient own-stay owners. 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: 604m to HOLY INNOCENTS' PRIMARY SCHOOL [SAP] and 700m (~9-min walk) to Kovan MRT (Exit C). 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 — HOLY INNOCENTS' PRIMARY SCHOOL: HOLY INNOCENTS' PRIMARY 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.
- Tight new-launch competition: Only 1 active private launch in your district — scarcity supports resale liquidity and pricing.
- Real gross yield: 3.6%: Yield is above the SG private market median (~3.2%). Decent cash flow buffer if interest rates climb. Based on URA median rent (2026Q1) over the project's real resale PSF.
What to watch out for
- Thin transaction volume: Only 3 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 10/100 — only 3 resales in the last 12 months. Thin secondary-market activity; exits can be slow.
Who Trilive suits
- Value-focused buyers comfortable with the location tradeoff
- Own-stay buyers or patient long-term investors not dependent on yield
- Buyers who value a stable, established neighbourhood over speculative upside
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
- Buyers wanting a guaranteed top-tier primary within 1km walking distance
Huat Kueh says
Holy Innocents' Primary School at 604m. P1 crowd already eyeing. Only 3 deals the whole year — sell also must queue.
