Where D24 sits
Read the position, not just the number.
D24 is firmly in OCR. Upside comes from masterplan maturation, not prime-district rarity.
Don't shop PSF averages — shop by stack, tenure, and floor. District medians hide the 20-30% spread between freehold premium and older leasehold.
Just clears the 3% floor most SG investors use. Modest yield — appreciation thesis matters more.
Further from CBD. Best suited to buyers with local employment, hybrid schedules, or lifestyle over commute priorities.

4-Pillar mapping
How I'd think about D24 through the framework.
01
Capital
Accessible band — grant eligibility, sequencing, and TDSR headroom matter as much as headline affordability.
02
Cashflow
Yield clears 3% but narrowly. Works for long-hold + modest-income-drag profiles. Stress-test vacancy and MCST + tax.
03
Progression
Where D24 sits in your portfolio depends on what you're progressing FROM and TO. Entry without a planned exit is speculation — see exit strategy.
04
Protection
Stress-test interest-rate doubling, 6-month vacancy, MCST special levy on older stock. Mature estates tend to hold better in downturns than upturns reward aggressively.

Every district has a "default buyer profile." The mismatch between the district you're drawn to and the buyer profile you actually fit is where most bad decisions live. Run the 4-Pillar Audit before paying the district premium.
