Key facts
- Verdict: Good
- Region: Rest of Central Region

- Developer: MK 25 Pte Ltd
- Avg PSF: ~$1,475 psf

What works in its favour
- Genuinely well-connected: Location scores 7/10 — MRT and daily amenities are within practical reach, which is what keeps both tenant demand and the resale pool deep.
- Entry price leaves room: Value scores 7/10 at ~$1,475 psf (entry from $0.85M) — you are not paying for the whole story upfront, which is where a margin of safety comes from.
- Rental demand supports ~3.2% gross: Rental scores 7/10 — tenants are findable in this pocket, so an investor is not underwriting long vacancy between leases.
What to watch out for
- Not a school-belt play: Schools score 6/10 — families treating P1 proximity as the deciding criterion will find better odds elsewhere, which thins one important slice of the resale pool.
- Plan a patient exit: Exit scores 6/10 across 81 units — a thinner resale pool means fewer comparables and a longer runway to sell. Budget five to eight years minimum.
- Growth is incremental, not catalytic: Growth scores 6/10 — the thesis here is stability rather than transformation, so expect the area to track the market rather than lead it.
Who Guillemard Suites suits
- Value-focused buyers comfortable with the location tradeoff
- Yield investors — ~3.2% gross is workable; favour larger unit types
- Buyers who value a stable, established neighbourhood over speculative upside
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers hunting deep relative value — the market has already priced in most of the story
- Short-term flippers — stamp duty + agent fees demand a 5-year minimum hold
- Buyers wanting a guaranteed top-tier primary within 1km walking distance
