What I’d do
What I would do: work out your holding period first. The lease-remainder matters here — check it against your horizon and how banks will treat it on resale. If you are an investor chasing yield or a quick flip, compare hard against other 99-year leasehold options in the same district. Don’t let the launch momentum or a single good-taste showflat do the deciding for you.
