Dunearn? They better not make us change the name after buying… later really don’t earn how? 😂
🏡 Dunearn Road GLS — worth your $$$?
380 units. Good-sized development.
Expected TOP: 2030.
Biggest selling point? These two blocks have some of the highest vantage points in Bukit Timah — views that are genuinely hard to come by.
But coming, here are 5 things that stood out to me.
1️⃣ Only 228 car park lots.
For a 380-unit project, that’s a little tight.
2️⃣ MRT… but is it really?
Yes, there are TWO MRT stations nearby… except you’re almost perfectly in between them. Personally, I can’t imagine many buyers who can afford Bukit Timah not owning a car.
3️⃣ The unit mix surprised me.
It’s almost a 50-50 split between 2-bedders and larger owner-occupier units (3 & 4 bedrooms). What surprised me most? No 5-bedroom layouts. Buyers in this district generally have the purchasing power for larger family homes.
4️⃣ Unit sizes feel small.
Efficient? Yes.
Spacious? Not quite.
5️⃣ The biggest question: Pricing.
Let’s compare.
📍 Fourth Avenue Residences (99-year) is currently transacting around:
• Small units: $2,100–2,200 psf
• Larger units: $2,700–2,800 psf
Once a new launch starts pushing $2,900 psf, I’d be looking at alternatives like Royal Green instead — it’s only about 4 years old and FREEHOLD.
My $0.02 👇
The good news? The developer didn’t overpay for the land, so there’s room to price this sensibly.
If they’re serious about making this launch attractive, I’d only be interested if I can secure a larger 3-bedroom at below $2,800 psf.
Otherwise, I’d rather look at Royal Green or even wait for Thomson Reserve.
In fact… I reckon quite a number of buyers are holding their horsies for Thomson Reserve.
And honestly?
I probably would too.
What do you think — buy at launch, go for a younger freehold resale, or wait for the next one? 👇
Let me know your thoughts!💭
