Our take
Freehold in Novena with a short walk to the MRT is rare, and a 133-unit tower will feel quiet. The trade-off is price: even the smallest layouts are around the $2M mark, so this is realistically a purchase for upgraders with substantial sale proceeds or savings, not a stretch purchase.
Remember the stamp duty arithmetic if you still own your HDB flat: buying a private home before selling can trigger ABSD, so plan the sale first. See our upgrader guide.
Who it suits
- Upgraders with a larger budget who want freehold and a central location.
- Buyers who value a small, quiet development over a big facility list.
- Not for budget-conscious first-time condo buyers.
