Mercury location cannot compare with this new launch location lah...
one is located in D10 river valley area, the other located in prime D09 area near Orchard Shopping belt.
Anyways, mercury only left penthouse units...if u keen on the penthouse+open roof terrace, den can consider.
Otherwise, u can consider the RV suites if u want a 1br for investment in tt location...rental yield will be modest...
For the new launch @ devonshire area, rental yield will be very attractive...easily abv 5% conservatively due to it's proximity to mrt n also the orchard shopping belt.
if u think tt 1600-1700 is expensive, den think twice again...this is near prime d09 orchard rd area afterall...how cheap can orchard rd vicinity properties be? thinking some nearby projects are transacting 2500-3000+psf....in conclusion...i feel this psf of 1600-1800 range is sustainable in long run n also the appreciation potential will be substantial & attractive enough.
