Terra Hill Review: Is It Worth Buying?

Terra Hill, located at 18, 18A, 18B, 20, 20A, 22, 22A, 22B, 18C Yew Siang Road in District D05, is a freehold condominium by Hoi Hup Sunway Kent Ridge Pte.Ltd. With its launch in February 2023 and an expected TOP in March 2028, it’s a development that has seen significant interest, with 245 of its 270 units already sold. If you're looking for a new launch with a freehold tenure in a mature district, Terra Hill offers a distinct proposition. However, its price point and specific unit types mean it won't be for everyone.

Verdict: Who is Terra Hill for?

Terra Hill is likely to appeal to buyers prioritizing freehold ownership and spacious living in District D05. Its larger unit types, particularly the 4- and 5-Bedroom configurations, cater well to families or those who appreciate ample living space. The development's location offers a certain level of exclusivity. Those who value long-term asset holding and are comfortable with the price point for a freehold asset in this area will find it compelling.

However, if you are working with a tighter budget, seeking smaller unit formats, or prefer a location directly adjacent to an MRT station, Terra Hill might not be the most suitable choice. The absence of 1-, 2- or 3-Bedroom units and its premium pricing mean it targets a specific segment of the market.

Honest Pros of Terra Hill

• Freehold Tenure: This is a significant draw, offering perpetual ownership in Singapore, which is increasingly rare for new launches.
• Larger Unit Sizes: The development exclusively offers 4- and 5-Bedroom units, providing generous living spaces that are well-suited for families or those needing extra room.
• Established Developer: Hoi Hup Sunway Kent Ridge Pte.Ltd. is the developer behind Terra Hill, which may offer buyers confidence.
• Good Sales Momentum: With 245 out of 270 units sold since its launch in early 2023, the project has demonstrated strong market acceptance. There are currently 24 units available.

Honest Cons of Terra Hill

• Price Point: With units ranging from $3,791,000 to $7,280,000, and PSFs from $2,072 to $2,501, Terra Hill sits at a premium price level, which might be out of reach for some buyers.
• Limited Unit Mix: The project only offers 4- and 5-Bedroom configurations, limiting options for individuals or smaller families looking for 1-, 2-, or 3-Bedroom units.
• Location Specifics: While in District D05, the exact site on Yew Siang Road may require a short commute to key amenities or public transport links for some residents.

Practical Showflat Checklist

When visiting the showflat for Terra Hill, consider these points:

• Layout Efficiency: Pay close attention to how the space is used in the 4- and 5-Bedroom layouts. Look for natural light and ventilation, and consider furniture placement.
• Kitchen and Bathroom Finishes: Evaluate the quality of the appliances, fixtures, and finishes provided. Are they up to your expectations for a premium freehold development?
• Wardrobe and Storage Space: For larger units, adequate storage is crucial. Check the provisions for wardrobes and other storage solutions.
• Balcony Size and Orientation: Given the larger unit sizes, the balcony can be a significant extension of living space. Consider its practicality and view potential.
• Expected Maintenance Fees: While not a direct part of the unit, inquire about estimated maintenance fees. Larger units and premium facilities can lead to higher charges.
