The Honest Pros

The Myst stands out with its developer, CDL Aries Pte. Ltd., which often brings a certain level of expectation for quality. The project’s location in District 23 (Bukit Batok / Bukit Panjang) positions it in a mature residential estate. With an expected TOP in June 2027, buyers can anticipate a relatively near completion date for a new launch.

A significant pro is the high take-up rate, with 399 out of 408 units already sold. This indicates strong market confidence and acceptance, which can be a good sign for future liquidity.

The Honest Cons

The primary concern for potential buyers at this stage is the limited availability. With only 9 units left, options are highly restricted. Furthermore, only 4- and 5-bedroom units remain, which might not suit all buyer profiles or budget requirements. The current price range from $3,246,000 to $3,822,000, with PSF ranging from $1,845 psf to $2,166 psf, reflects these larger unit sizes.

As there are no comparable projects listed for pricing in the same district, it is not possible to provide a direct price comparison at this time.

Unit Mix and Remaining Availability

For those interested in the remaining units, here's what's available:

• 4 Bedroom: 1518–1851 sq ft, priced from $3,246,000 – $3,429,000. There are 6 units remaining out of 49 originally.
• 5 Bedroom: 1690–2034 sq ft, priced from $3,626,000 – $3,822,000. There are 3 units remaining out of 23 originally.

The focus on larger unit types clearly targets families who value space and privacy.

Showflat Checklist (Practical Considerations)

Given the limited availability, if you are considering one of the remaining units at The Myst, here are a few practical points to consider during your visit:

• Unit Layouts: Pay close attention to the specific layouts of the remaining 4- and 5-bedroom units. How do they compare to your family's needs?
• Views: Inquire about the stack and views for the available units. Given its location, views might vary significantly.
• Facilities Proximity: Consider the proximity of the unit to common facilities. Does it offer convenience or potential for noise?
• Site Plan: Revisit the site plan to understand the development's overall flow and how your chosen unit fits in.
