Project Reviews · By Jamus Lee
Every project run through the same five checks — location, developer, unit mix, price against comparables, and exit. Including the launch pipeline and the Government Land Sales tenders that set tomorrow’s prices.
The lighting is warm, the furniture is three-quarter scale so the rooms read larger, and the queue outside suggests you should decide today. None of it is dishonest. It is simply designed to do a job, and the job is not helping you compare.
A framework is what stops the feeling from doing the deciding. Every project on this site goes through the same five checks, in the same order, whether or not I am marketing it. Same questions, same evidence, so two projects can actually be set side by side.
These reviews are conditional by design. You will not find "buy now" here. You will find who a project suits, who it does not, and what would have to be true for it to work at the price being asked.
The Method
None of these is clever on its own. Running all five, in order, on every project is what stops a good story from covering a bad price.
Published Reviews
1,056 homes off Lorong Chuan in District 19, on two joined land plots at $1,355 psf ppr and about 400m from a Circle Line that now runs as a full loop. Why one developer owning the whole street protects buyers, what Chuan Park next door proves, and what a fair launch price would be.

327 homes at Media Circle in one-north, on land bought at $1,037 psf ppr and about 74% sold at an average $2,482 psf. Why a 12.9% land discount became a 1.7% price discount, where the 110 unsold units are hiding, and what the Dover Drive benchmark really implies.

133 freehold homes in Novena, on land Far East Organization bought in 2010 at $847 psf ppr. What sixteen years of carry does to that discount, why the estimated price undercuts the 99-year sites next door, and where the location story runs out.

380 homes in District 11 on land at $1,410 psf ppr, already launched and 55% sold at an average $3,125 psf. Take-up ran from 100% to 14% across ten layouts, the cheapest unit sold worst, and the school claim does not hold.

212 low-rise homes in District 10, on a site URA capped at a plot ratio of 1.4 and six storeys. What that constraint produces, what the estimated $2,980–$3,360 psf means at the actual unit sizes, and how the land cost reads against the full CCR set.

776 planned homes in District 11 on land costing $1,297 psf ppr — the cheapest central site of this cycle. Why $578 million became $1,014 million, and what that does and does not imply for the launch price.

1,268 homes in District 20 by UOL, CapitaLand and Singapore Land, on land bought at $1,178 psf ppr. The cost stack, the breakeven, and what the District 20 resale record supports.

The Lentor estate is now several plots deep. What that concentration of supply means for pricing, and how this project sits against its immediate neighbours.

CDL outbid five rivals by 10.4% for the Lakeside Drive site. The cost stack behind a $2,510–$2,840 psf estimate, the 2026 school ballot odds, and whether Jurong justifies the premium.

A small District 4 project in the prime centre. Why scarcity cuts both ways on exit, and what a boutique unit count does to resale liquidity.

What A Review Can't Do
A review can tell you whether a project is fairly priced and who it suits. It cannot tell you which stack to ballot for on your budget, whether your sale proceeds arrive in time, or what the stamp duty position looks like in your specific case.
That part is done unit by unit, with your actual figures, usually a few weeks before a preview rather than on the day. If you are shortlisting something, bring the shortlist.
