12 on Shan Review
Over the last couple of years, there isn’t really much new launch projects taking place in the Balestier precinct. Looking at the ones near 12 on Shan, there were in fact 2 launches. However they didn’t create much headlines in the property market and went under the shadows of many other “mega” launches.
It’s an area where you will mostly find apartments – developments which are rather small, single-block and not much facilities to talk about. But for the true investors who are only looking at freehold and proximity to the core central region in Singapore, Balestier is the one on their “shopping list” for sure.
Since 2014, only 3 projects were launched – namely VIIO at Balestier, Neem Tree and Ascent 456. They are within the Balestier precinct, with VIIO being the most prominent of the three as it’s located just next the Zhongshan Mall. In this comparison, we will only use VIIO and Ascent 456 as they are both the closest to 12 on Shan.
In terms of scale, 12 on Shan is in fact the biggest among the 3 – with VIIO in second place (48 units) and Ascent 456 (28 units) in third. So how are the neighbours being priced?
Here are some numbers based on the total transactions record for them so far:
| PROJECT NAME | TENURE | NO. OF UNITS | COMPLETION DATE | AVERAGE PSF | AVERAGE UNIT SIZE |
| VIIO @ BALESTIER | FREEHOLD | 48 | 2018 | $1,546 | 508 SQ FT |
| ASCENT 456 | FREEHOLD | 28 | 2018 | $1,489 | 704 SQ FT |
Looking at both developments, their units were priced as low as $714,000 for a 474-sqft unit, to $1.54 million for a 1.076-sqft 3-bedroom dual-key units (both at VIIO @ Balestier).
Using the PSF price as a benchmark, I would say a fair market price for 12 on Shan would be in the range of $1,450 to $1,550 psf on average.
Some will probably argue that it’s closer to Novena which is considered a prime area and thus should command a higher premium. However, 12 on Shan isn’t as accessible as compared to its 2 neighbours – which one of them have eateries and a supermarket just right next to it. If the property is for investment, I believe this will be more appealing to potential tenants.
In all fairness, 12 on Shan does have an upper-hand in terms of privacy as the other 2 developments are both along the roads and may get a little noisy during peak hours (especially when the frequency of buses increases along Balestier Road). For someone who appreciates peace and quiet within their residence, it’s definitely one of the developments to look out for (provided it’s priced in the similar range as its neighbouring new launch projects).
In general, on top of the city-fringe location and freehold status, here are some other reasons to think about:
- 12 on Shan provides a relaxing and livable environment in a prime location, thus assuring convenience and tranquility.
- The housing complex is perfect for people of all age groups including children as it offers wholesome living experience.
- This will also make for a nice investment property if one is not looking at it from living point of view.
With so much at offer, this housing complex is definitely an attractive accommodation option for buyers to consider.
