Top 100 Condos - The Parc

Video description from @therightmovesg

This is a good example of how Singapore property really works.
The Parc in Clementi ranked #89 on our Top 100 list — even though, on paper, it looks weak.
It has three characteristics that usually reduce profitability:
• 13-minute walk to MRT• Built in 2010 with bay windows• Freehold tenure
And in the current cycle, freehold has actually underperformed 99-year projects.
For example:Parc Clematis (99-year): 5.86% annualisedClavon (99-year): 5.62%The Parc (freehold): 4.66%
So logically, it should lag.
But it didn’t.
Between 2023 and 2025:Median PSF rose 15%38 transactionsZero losses
Why?
Because in property, location demand can overpower design flaws.
Factor 1: Schools.Within 1km of Nan Hua Primary (Phase 2C priority).Also near Nan Hua High and NUS High.That school cluster is rare and hard to replace.
Factor 2: Supply and upgrader demand.All recent Clementi new launches sold out quickly.In June 2025, Clementi Crest MOP created a wave of HDB upgraders.Many walked away with $800–900K in equity.
They want to stay near schools and jobs in NUS / one-north.But new supply is gone.
So demand concentrates on existing options — including freehold.
Lesson:
In Singapore property, tenure and walk distance matter.But strong school catchment + supply shortage can matter more.
The Parc is what that equation looks like.
Comment “100” for the full Top 100 framework.DM “PARC” for the Clementi underwriting breakdown.
