Why buyers choose this area

Schools & transport

Proximity to good schools is one of the strongest price drivers in Bukit Timah / Orchard / Holland.

04

What I’d do

What I would do: work out your holding period first. If you are buying for the long term and value land tenure, the freehold here is defensible. If you are an investor chasing yield or a quick flip, compare hard against other freehold options in the same district. Don’t let the launch momentum or a single good-taste showflat do the deciding for you.

05

Frequently asked questions

Is Boulevard 88 a good investment?

It depends on your horizon and how you price the freehold tenure. Bukit Timah / Orchard / Holland has genuine scarcity value you hold; it rewards patient buyers more than quick-flippers.

Is freehold here worth the premium?

In this area freehold is scarce, so the premium is more defensible than elsewhere — but it must be justified against a strong-lease 99-year alternative. Decide on your holding period.

New launch or resale near Boulevard 88?

Compare like-for-like on per-square-foot price, remaining lease, and how much renovation you want. A resale unit can offer better space-per-dollar, but a new launch here may carry a fresher lease and lower immediate maintenance.
