Capital appreciation factors

Rental and income considerations

Delivered sub-communities provide early rental evidence. Premium pricing usually means lower gross yield than outer communities.

Supply and liquidity

Supply is spread across several distinct sub-communities with different product levels. Compare like-for-like within the same sub-community when assessing resale competition.

Main strengths

  • Central positioning compared with most new villa communities
  • Lagoon and beach amenity
  • Clear product ladder from townhouses to mansions

Main risks

  • Premium entry pricing narrows the buyer pool at resale
  • Lower gross rental yield than outer communities
  • Timing differences between sub-communities
