On balance, Textile Centre points up.
Strong track record — the fundamentals buyers pay up for are here.
Why it's pushing up
What matters most for you
- Convenient — MRT about 7 min on foot; 17 supermarkets, 10 food & retail spots nearby.
- Rentable — ~4.7% gross yield; transport nearby keep tenants coming.
And what makes it better
- Every unit type has risen — 3-bed +26.5% since 2021.
- Steady ~4.7% gross rental yield.
What's holding it back
- Leasehold, ~43 years left — the lease clock weighs on price and financing the older it gets.
- Its recent +6.1%/yr rode a hot cycle — don't bank on that pace repeating.
- No Primary-1 priority school within 1km.

If you’re buying
≤ $1.02M
Aim at the middle or below. A patient buyer has been getting closer to $0.98M.
If you’re selling
~$1.06M
List at the top of fair; realistic close is $1.02M–$1.03M unless it’s a high floor.
Why no rush either way: Seller’s Stamp Duty means a buyer can’t sell penalty-free for ~4 years — so you’re holding regardless. That’s your leverage to negotiate down now, not overpay.
The reality check — does the gain even make sense?
Our blunt read: ~$824k over 10 years at this project’s own pace. It works — but forward from a cycle top, treat it as a maybe, not a promise. This is our own POV, not a forecast — the pace is the project’s own (~6.1%/yr), and past pace never promises the future.

Textile Centre
Rest of Central Region (RCR) · District 07 · ~$1,290 psf · 4.7% yield
Prices are near the top of the cycle, and the government is still cooling it — but cheap loans and steady immigration are holding them up. For Textile Centre, its own prices are still climbing. Over a 4-year hold, expect modest growth — not a big jump.
On balance, the wind is leaning to your favour.
What it means for you: At ~$1,290 psf, Textile Centre is priced below similar new projects nearby — good value against its peers. Its own prices are still climbing (~6.1%/yr over ~4 years). You'd also be buying near the top of the cycle, so entry price matters. So — negotiate, don't overpay, and plan to hold past the 4-year stamp-duty window before selling.
The signals behind it
Dots show how much weight each one carries.
Holds prices back
Prices are near the top — up 33% in 5 years, well above the 4.6%/year long-run pace. Less room left to climb.
Supports prices
Textile Centre's own prices are still climbing — about +11% in the latest year of sales.
About neutral
The city fringe (RCR) sits in the middle of the three areas on long-run growth.
Holds prices back
The government is still cooling the market — the latest was SSD back to 4 years at 16/12/8/4% (2025). That caps how fast prices can run.
Supports prices
Loan rates are cheap right now (~1.08%) and falling. Easy to carry — which supports prices, but also means more buyers competing with you.
Supports prices
Against salaries, prices aren't expensive by past standards — people can still afford to buy.
Supports prices
Lots of new people keep moving to Singapore (non-residents up ~16% over 5 years) — steady demand for homes and rentals.
About neutral
New launches in this district are selling at a middling pace (~67% sold).
Holds prices back · small effect
The government keeps releasing a lot of new land (~9,200 units this half-year) — more future supply that can weigh on prices years down the road.
Holds prices back · small effect
Foreign buyers are almost gone since the 60% tax (~1.4% of buyers) — a small drag on the city fringe.
About neutral
Rents across Singapore have flattened out lately.
Supports prices · small effect
There's more CPF money sitting ready to put toward a home than a few years back — a small support in the background.
Supports prices · small effect
The economy is growing (5% last year) and jobs are steady (1.9% unemployment) — no alarm bells.
Supports prices · small effect
Building costs are high (up ~39% since 2010) and still creeping up — developers can't build cheap, which puts a floor under new-launch prices.
