Nava Grove Review: Is It Worth Buying?

Nava Grove is a new launch project located at 38, 40, 42 Pine Grove, District D21 (Clementi / Upper Bukit Timah). With 552 units in total, this 99-year leasehold development by Golden Ray Edge 3 Pte. Ltd. has seen strong interest since its launch on 15 November 2024, with 551 units already sold. Only one unit remains available.

Verdict: Who is Nava Grove for?

With just one unit remaining, Nava Grove is essentially a sold-out project. For those who managed to secure a unit, this development likely appealed to buyers looking for a 99-year leasehold property in District 21, with an expected TOP by 13 November 2028. The remaining unit, a 2 Bedroom + Study at 786 sq ft priced at $2,194,900 ($2,792 psf), would suit a small family or an individual seeking a compact living space in this district, provided the specific layout and price point align with their needs.

For those who missed out on the initial launch, the opportunities here are now extremely limited. You might be better off exploring other options or considering resale units once the project is completed, if a unit becomes available then.

Pros of Nava Grove

• Strong Demand: The rapid sales of 551 out of 552 units indicate strong market confidence and demand for Nava Grove. This suggests that the project was well-received by buyers in the D21 area.
• New Leasehold Term: The 99-year leasehold commenced on 13 February 2024, offering a fresh lease for buyers.
• Reputable Developer: Developed by Golden Ray Edge 3 Pte. Ltd., which is a joint venture, though we do not have specific details on their past projects or track record at this time.
• Location in D21: Being in District 21 (Clementi / Upper Bukit Timah) offers a blend of residential tranquillity with access to amenities and educational institutions. Specific details on amenities and schools are not provided in the facts.

Cons of Nava Grove

• Extremely Limited Availability: With only one unit remaining, options are virtually non-existent for new buyers. This makes the project largely inaccessible for those who haven't already purchased.
• Single Unit Type Remaining: The only available unit is a 2 Bedroom + Study, which may not cater to all buyer needs or preferences, especially if larger units are desired.
• PSF at the Higher End: The remaining unit's PSF of $2,792 is at the higher end when compared to some of the comparables in the district, though context for specific unit sizes and layouts is important.

Price Comparison with Comparables

Let's look at how Nava Grove's pricing stacks up against other new launches in the same District D21, based on the provided information. It's important to remember that 'average' PSF can be influenced by unit size, stack, and level, but this gives a general idea.

Project	Price Range	PSF Range	Tenure Start	TOP
Nava Grove	$2,194,900	$2,792 psf	13 Feb 2024	2028-11-13
8@BT	$1,473,000–$5,308,000	$2,508 psf–$3,332 psf	13 Feb 2023	2027-12-30
The Sen	$1,546,000–$3,785,000	$2,258 psf–$2,755 psf	20 Jan 2025	2030-08-31

The sole remaining unit at Nava Grove is priced at $2,792 psf. When compared to the ranges of 8@BT ($2,508 psf–$3,332 psf) and The Sen ($2,258 psf–$2,755 psf), Nava Grove's PSF sits within the upper middle of these comparables. Its PSF is higher than The Sen's maximum PSF, but lower than 8@BT's maximum. The slight difference in lease commencement dates and TOP also factors into perceived value.

Unit Mix Highlights

Nava Grove offers a single unit type as of today:

• 2 Bedroom + Study: 786 sq ft, priced at $2,194,900, at an average of $2,792 psf. This specific unit is the last of 46 units of this type.

Details on other unit types are not available as they have all been sold.

Showflat Checklist (Practical Advice)

For the one remaining unit at Nava Grove, if you are considering it, here's what I'd advise:

1. View the Actual Unit: Since only one unit is left, if possible, request to view the actual unit or a similar completed stack if available, rather than relying solely on a showflat.
2. Understand the Layout: Pay close attention to the 2 Bedroom + Study layout. How does the 'study' area function for your needs? Is it a usable space or just an alcove?
3. Consider Light and Airflow: Note the unit's orientation, natural light, and cross-ventilation. How does it compare to other units you've seen?
4. Check Amenities: While specific details aren't provided, inquire about the project's facilities. What amenities are available to residents?
5. Review the Specifications: Look at the quality of finishes, appliances, and fixtures. Does it meet your expectations for the price point?
6. Financial Planning: With the asking price at $2,194,900, ensure you have a clear financial plan, including down payment, stamp duties, and mortgage arrangements.
7. Understand the Remaining Unit's Specifics: Clarify the exact stack, level, and any unique features or limitations of this last available unit.
