EMERALD OF KATONG
How is this worked out? — the five sub-scores
Emerald Of Katong is a leasehold project in D15 Marine Parade with limited yield data, thin liquidity and strong school demand (Tanjong Katong Primary School within 1 km). It sits in no designated growth node.
- Family demand buyers
- pure rental-yield investors
- capital-growth-led investors
- Confirm the exact unit stack, facing and floor — our figures are project medians.
- Stress-test cashflow at +1–2% interest in the calculator below.
- Verify the school 1 km boundary & current MOE rules — priority is not a guarantee.
Investment report
A plain-language read on Emerald Of Katong — genuine strengths, honest risks, an independent fair-value range and a Buy / Watch / Avoid position, all from the data above.
- Oversubscribed primary school (Tanjong Katong Primary School) within 1 km — a durable family-demand anchor.
- Well-sized 846-unit project — larger developments trade at firmer $psf and resell faster.
- Entry $psf sits ~62% above the D15 median — a location/quality premium that has to keep being earned.
- Thin liquidity (2 sales/12 mo) — a slower, choppier exit and a softer price signal.
- Check nearby new-launch & upcoming TOP supply — a fresh project within walking distance can cap rents and resale for a few years.
Fair-value range
Several independent value bases — more informative than a single median. The combined range weights the project-specific bases most.

Popular schools nearby
Proximity to an oversubscribed primary school is a major driver of family demand. Being within 1 km gives the top P1 balloting priority; 1–2 km is next.
