Five dimensions · transparent research · not financial advice
Our 0–100 investment score combines five market dimensions using operational inventory, published transaction bands and district rental benchmarks. Weights vary by project type.
Tenant pool depth, re-let velocity and cross-border commuter exposure.
Measures primary tenant segments — local families, Singapore commuters, or overseas owner-management. Mount Austin, Bukit Indah and R&F score highest; Forest City is owner-management weighted with weaker local rental demand.
Gross rental yield vs entry price and carrying costs.
Derived from average rent and typical resale entry bands. Danga Bay and Mount Austin show stronger gross yields; Forest City is lower due to entry price and void risk.
Typical void periods and effective occupancy.
Void weeks converted to effective occupancy. Commuter (R&F) and family (Bukit Indah, Mount Austin) districts show shortest voids; Forest City longest.
Resale volume, listing turnover and mortgage acceptance.
Mature districts (Danga Bay, Bukit Indah) resell faster; resort-scale Forest City turns slower but suits long-hold owner-management.
Infrastructure, RTS, Iskandar jobs and supply pipeline.
Medini and Eco Botanic benefit from Iskandar corridor growth; R&F tied to RTS / border policy; Forest City growth narrative is lifestyle-long-term vs local rental.
