One Chuan Grove, with about 1,055 units, is a “mega development”. Buyers often ask whether big projects hold value as well as smaller ones. The honest answer is that each has trade-offs.
Side by side
| Mega (800+ units) | Boutique (under 200 units) | |
|---|---|---|
| Facilities | Extensive: 50 m pools, multiple function rooms | Basic to moderate |
| Maintenance per unit | Usually lower | Usually higher |
| Resale price evidence | Many transactions, so easy to value | Few transactions, harder to value |
| Resale competition | More units for sale at once | Less competition |
| Privacy | Busier common areas | Quieter, more exclusive |
| Rental | Many comparable listings | Distinctive, but fewer comparables |
What the local data says
Near Lorong Chuan, both kinds have done well:
- The Scala (468 units): 97.5% of resales profitable, median psf up 36% from 2019 to 2026
- The Springbloom (372 units): median psf up 33% from 2022 to 2026, and actively traded

- Cardiff Residence (163 units, boutique): the highest yield at about 5%, but psf growth was the most uneven
Why scale can help One Chuan Grove
- Liquidity. Frequent transactions make it easier for banks to value your unit and for buyers to judge the price.
- Lower running costs. Shared costs spread across about 1,055 owners.
- Facilities that stay relevant. A large deck is less likely to feel dated than a small pool and gym.
The main risk: competing sellers
When the minimum occupation or SSD period ends, many owners in a large project may sell at the same time, which increases competition. The remedy is to choose a distinctive stack with good facing, a good view and an efficient layout, so your unit stands out from the rest.
