CMA Playbook: Triangulating Hyll on Holland, Leedon Green, One Holland Village Residences, and Skye at Holland—Refining Entry by Budget & Holding Horizon

Comparative Market Analysis Playbook: Triangulating Hyll on Holland, Leedon Green, One Holland Village Residences, and Skye at Holland—Refining Entry by Budget & Holding Horizon

By Zion Zhao | 狮家社小赵 

Why “triangulate” these four？

Holland/Leedon is a rare CCR micro-market where two freeholds (Hyll on Holland, Leedon Green) sit beside a mixed-use identity node (One Holland Village Residences, 99-year) and a large upcoming launch (Skye at Holland, 99-year). By triangulating their tenure, amenity profile, price/rent bands, and policy/transport catalysts, you can tailor entries that fit a client’s budget and time horizon while balancing yield vs. durability. In short:
























Method & Data Hygiene

  • Primary property data: developer/market facts and transaction snapshots drawn from Huttons project decks (Hyll on Holland; Leedon Green; One Holland Village Residences; Skye at Holland). 

  • Market backdrop: URA 2Q 2025 statistics for CCR price/rent momentum; LTA for CCL6 timing; URA Master Plan for Holland’s identity-node status. 

  • Peer-reviewed evidence backs portfolio logic (diversification, leasehold vs. freehold dynamics, TOD/mixed-use effects).

Market Backdrop (as of Aug 20, 2025, Asia/Singapore)

  • CCR momentum: Non-landed prices in CCR rose 3.0% q/q in 2Q 2025; overall private rents rose 0.8% q/q with CCR non-landed rents +1.8% q/q (URA, Jul 25 2025). This matters for near-term rent-led underwriting and exit liquidity. (URA, 2025). Urban Redevelopment Authority

  • Transport catalyst: CCL6 is confirmed to open 1H 2026, completing the Circle Line loop and offering meaningful time savings through Marina Bay—an accessibility premium relevant to Holland/Leedon catchments (LTA & SMRT, Aug 12 2025). Land Transport Authority

  • Place identity: Holland Village is an URA-recognised Identity Node—planning guidance preserves its “village” charm while enabling new mixed-use vitality. That typically supports amenity value and pedestrian vibrancy—helpful for rentability and spend capture (URA, 2019; URA DMP2025). (URA, 2019; URA, 2025a). Urban Redevelopment Authority+1

In-text APA examples: (Urban Redevelopment Authority [URA], 2025), (Land Transport Authority & SMRT, 2025), (URA, 2019).

Four-property Snapshot (facts you can underwrite today)

1) Leedon Green — freehold, prime District 10, post-TOP scale

  • Tenure/scale: Freehold, large CCR project with 638 units; extensive resort-style amenities (project deck). 
  • Achieved prices: Recent re-sales show a broad band: compact 1–2BRs transacting from the low-S$2.5k psf to S$3.2–3.3k psf; some larger formats go above S$3.3k psf depending on stack/level. Average c. S$3,031 psf in observed sample. 
  • Rents: 2BR asking/achieved rents recorded in the S$6k–9k range; 3BR S$7.1k–11k in recent months (indicative for gross-yield sanity checks). 
Why it matters: For 10–15+ year holds, the freehold is a structural hedge against lease attenuation. In the 3–7 year window, liquidity is supported by brand/scale/finishes, but entry price discipline matters for yield.

2) Hyll on Holland — freehold, District 10; newer freehold with competitive entry

  • Tenure/position: Freehold in prime D10 with contemporary layouts and efficient stacks. 
  • Achieved prices: Transactions (2024–2025) show S$2,237–2,971 psf, avg ~S$2,601 psf, generally undercutting Leedon Green on psf. 
  • Rents & yields: Recent asking/achieved rents around S$6.1–8.4 psf pm, with indicative median yield ~3.2% in the sample. 

Why it matters: Hyll’s lower entry psf for a freehold often screens better on gross yield than many CCR peers—useful for ≤7-year holds that still want tenure resilience.

3) One Holland Village Residences (OHVR) — 99-year, mixed-use within an Identity Node

  • Mixed-use anchor: Residences sit atop curated retail, offices and serviced apartments—embedded footfall and “village” laneway urbanism. (Project summary; URA Identity Node). Urban Redevelopment Authority

  • Prices: Observed average ~S$2,741 psf across sample (varying by collection/stack). A sub-sale hit S$3,781 psf (17 Feb 2025)—a benchmark for premium micro-stacks. 
  • Rents: 2BR c. S$5–6k; 3BR c. S$7–8.5k in recent listings/lets (indicative). Mixed-use convenience usually lifts rentability vs. stand-alone sites. 

Why it matters: For ≤5–7 years, OHVR’s mixed-use and URA-guided place-making support rental demand and exit velocity (Shen & Sun, 2020). Lincoln Institute of Land Policy

4) Skye at Holland — large upcoming 99-year launch; scale + view stacks

  • Scale/tenure: ~666 units, 99-year, two elegant ~40-storey towers; strong skyline presence. 
  • Indicative pricing: Guide “from ~S$2,800 psf” (market watcher projection; early marketing). (Treat as indicative only; confirm at launch.) 

Why it matters: If the guide holds, Skye can create an entry-psf wedge vs. recent OHVR subsales and selected Leedon stacks, with brand-new lease and scale amenities—attractive for 5–10 year horizons seeking depreciation-light years and CCL6 uplift.

Evidence-based lenses to compare

  1. Mixed-use & identity advantages: Academic and policy literature supports that integrated, well-amenitised districts can enhance accessibility, street vibrancy and rentability, improving price discovery and exit liquidity (Shen & Sun, 2020; URA, 2019). (Shen & Sun, 2020; URA, 2019). Lincoln Institute of Land PolicyUrban Redevelopment Authority

  2. Transit-oriented premiums: Studies find measurable premiums from rail accessibility and network effects (e.g., TOD meta-studies; MRT empirical work). With CCL6 closing, proximity effects and network centrality matter (Liu et al., 2022; LTA, 2025). Land Transport Authority

  3. Tenure & horizon: Lease-decay has a statistically significant impact on 99-year prices over long horizons; freehold reduces that tail risk (Sia, 2022; Bracke, 2018). However, around the medium horizon, well-located leaseholds can outperform thanks to lower entry psf and stronger rental velocity (ERA Research synthesis, 2025). (Sia, 2022; Bracke, 2018). ideas.repec.orgacademic.oup.com

Budget-and-Horizon Entry Map (illustrative; stack-level selection required)

Assumptions: Use observed bands from project decks; exact pricing depends on stack, level, facing, condition, and launch rebates. Yields shown as indicative gross using recent rents. Always re-check live caveats, developer's discounts (if any) and inventory before making any decision. Alternatively, you can engage me as your exclusive Real Estate agent and I will do it all for you. 

S$1.8m–S$2.2m (Core 2BR / 2BR-Compact, 600–750 sf)

  • Hyll on Holland: Lower freehold entry psf (~S$2.3k–2.8k psf typical), potentially 3.0–3.3% gross yield from S$6.1–8.4 psf rents; choose quiet inner-courtyard stacks. 

    Best-fit horizon: 5–10 years (blend of yield + freehold preservation).

  • OHVR: Similar ticket via smaller 2BR formats; mixed-use rentability if tenant wants “walk-down” retail/lifestyle. Check stack noise/smell lines above F&B. 

S$2.2m–S$2.8m (2BR premium / 2+Study / compact 3BR)

  • Hyll on Holland: 2+S/3BR-compact with value psf; target NS-facing to reduce afternoon heat load (tenant retention). 
  • Skye at Holland (launch-dependent): If from ~S$2.8k psf materialises, early-bird 2BR high floors with long viewscan create depreciation-light years post-VP. 

  • Best-fit horizon: 5–8 years (ride CCL6 ramp + new-stock scarcity).

S$2.8m–S$3.6m (3BR family core, 900–1,100 sf)

  • Leedon Green: Brand/finishes and scale amenities; pick efficient 3BR stacks not penalised by long corridors. Expect S$3.0–3.3k psf entry depending on level. 
  • OHVR: 3BR above curated retail offers strong tenant draw (expat families, diplomats). Premium stacks can breach S$3.1–3.3k psf; underwrite noise attenuation. 

  • Best-fit horizon: 3–7 years (rent-led underwriting + exit velocity in mixed-use).

S$3.6m–S$4.3m (3BR+ premium / 4BR compact)

  • Skye at Holland: If my personal higher-end projection of ~S$2.8–3.2k psf guide holds, 4BR ~1,200–1,250 sf could price ~S$3.5–4.0m, creating a value wedge vs. freehold 4BRs. 
  • Hyll on Holland / Leedon Green: Evaluate stack quality; freehold premium for 10-year+ peace of mind.

  • Best-fit horizon: 7–12 years (blend Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)-lite compounding + family utility).

S$4.8m–S$6.0m (true 4BR + lifestyle)

  • Leedon Green: Market evidence of S$4.98–5.2m on recent 4BR trades; suits UHNWI preferring freehold permanence and resort amenity. 
  • Skye at Holland (penthouse/large 4BR): Watch launch for view corridors and lift-to-door ratios.

  • Best-fit horizon: 10–15+ years (legacy positioning; lower churn).

Which asset for which horizon?

  • ≤5 years (rent & exit velocity): OHVR (mixed-use identity node) for tenant capture and depth of resale demand; Hyll selected stacks for yield at lower freehold psf. Empirical work shows mixed-use and rail adjacency improve accessibility & vitality—proxies for rentability (Shen & Sun, 2020; URA, 2019; LTA, 2025). (Shen & Sun, 2020; URA, 2019; LTA & SMRT, 2025). Lincoln Institute of Land PolicyUrban Redevelopment AuthorityLand Transport Authority

  • 7–10 years (balanced): Skye at Holland early-bird stacks (if guide holds) for depreciation-light years + CCL6 uplift; Leedon Green 3BR family stacks for school catchments and prestige. 
  • 10–15+ years (durability first): Freehold (Leedon Green, Hyll) to mitigate long-run lease attenuation (Sia, 2022; Bracke, 2018). ideas.repec.orgacademic.oup.com

Risk Controls & Deal Tactics (what to do at the table)

  1. Tenure vs. ticket: If your client needs yield + liquidity, don’t overpay the freehold premium beyond what rent can recover within 5–7 years; literature shows leasehold/freehold premia are real but time-horizon dependent (Sia, 2022; IREUS, 2021). ideas.repec.orgireus.nus.edu.sg

  2. Transport & identity overlays: Lock in CCL6 benefits and URA’s Identity Node stewardship—these are planning signals that support medium-term amenity value (URA, 2019; LTA, 2025). Urban Redevelopment AuthorityLand Transport Authority

  3. Stack science: Prioritise NS-facing, setback from retail exhaust, above tree line but below wind noise; in OHVR, scrutinise above-F&B lines and garbage exhaust dispersion; in freeholds, pick stacks that future-proofagainst adjacent plot redevelopment. 
  4. Rent underwriting: Cross-check psf-rent bands (Hyll ~S$6.1–8.4; Leedon S$6–11k monthly by type; OHVR S$5–8.5k monthly by type) against URA rent index trend (CCR +1.8% q/q in 2Q 2025). Urban Redevelopment Authority

  5. Portfolio role: Academic finance shows direct real estate can reduce overall portfolio variance over long horizons (Hoesli, Lekander & Witkiewicz, 2004; Candelon et al., 2021). Use that to right-size allocations vs. equities/crypto. Taylor & Francis OnlineScienceDirect

What could change the map (Things to monitor)

  • Pipeline/GLS supply shifts in CCR/RCR that re-price buyer options (URA, 2025b). Urban Redevelopment Authority

  • Healthcare & one-north growth: NUH Kent Ridge Campus redevelopment and one-north biomedical/tech deepening should sustain housing demand in the west-central corridor (MOH, 2025; JTC, Biopolis/Fusionopolis). Ministry of HealthJTC+1

My Bottom Line: Matching the right buyers to the right door

  • UHNWI / family office (家办) with legacy aims: Leedon Green or Hyll large 3–4BR freehold stacks for 10–15+ years; accept lower headline yield for tenure security and exit optionality. 
  • Institutional/overseas investors seeking rentability & medium-term exit (陪读家长/留学 families included):OHVR for mixed-use amenity and Skye for fresh-lease + potential pricing wedge at launch; underwrite to 7–10 years and CCL6 demand. 
  • Yield-sensitive starter tickets: Hyll 2BR value stacks—freehold plus better psf-to-rent ratio in the current band. 

Quick Takeaway:

🏙 Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) Quick Glance

Hyll on Holland | Leedon Green | One Holland Village Residences | Skye at Holland

By Zion Zhao Real Estate | 狮家社小赵 

1. Why This CMA Matters

Investors today face a trilemma: navigating volatile equity markets, recalibrating amidst shifting interest rate cycles, and allocating capital into resilient, income-generating assets. Singapore’s District 10 and Holland-Bukit Timah enclaveremain a blue-chip safe haven, supported by freehold scarcity, robust tenant demand, and global capital inflows.

This CMA triangulates four landmark developments—Hyll on Holland, Leedon Green, One Holland Village Residences, and Skye at Holland—providing a clear investment compass tailored to budget, holding horizon, and risk appetite.

2. Development Snapshots


DevelopmentTenureKey StrengthsTarget Buyer ProfileStrategic Notes
Hyll on HollandFreeholdGarden-themed freehold enclave, boutique scale (319 units), high land value retentionLong-horizon investors seeking stability & exclusivityFreehold value hedge; smaller unit sizes provide accessible entry point
Leedon GreenFreeholdFlagship scale (638 units), resort-inspired, larger site with better amenitiesGlobal HNWIs, family officesLandmark status; scale allows liquidity & long-term institutional appeal
One Holland Village Residences99-year leaseholdMixed-use vibrancy with retail, F&B, office, luxury & standard tiersYounger professionals, lifestyle-driven buyers, rental yield investorsAnchored by identity & connectivity; resale liquidity from diverse tenant base
Skye at Holland99-year leaseholdBoutique, luxury positioning, high exclusivity, walkable to Holland Village MRTUHNWIs, China Chinese & SE Asian buyersPure lifestyle play; limited supply ensures scarcity premium

3. Price Matrix & Entry Considerations (Illustrative Market Ranges)

DevelopmentAvg. $PSFEntry (1BR)Entry (2BR)Entry (3BR)Notes
Hyll on Holland~$2,700 – $2,900$1.4M+$1.9M+$3.0M+Efficient layouts, freehold hedge
Leedon Green~$2,800 – $3,100$1.5M+$2.0M+$3.2M+Scale premium; stronger family unit mix
One Holland Village Residences~$2,600 – $2,800$1.3M+$1.8M+$2.9M+Leasehold discount but rental vibrancy
Skye at Holland~$2,900 – $3,200 est$1.6M+$2.2M+$3.4M+Luxury scarcity pricing

(Data triangulated from URA caveats & market sources as of mid-2025) Skye at Holland is upon my personal higher-end projection and estimation (thus, realistically likely lower starting PSF), subjected to developers' changes.

4. Holding Horizon Strategy

  • Short-Term (3–5 years):

    • Best suited: One Holland Village Residences & Skye at Holland – vibrant mixed-use ecosystem supports strong rental yields & resale liquidity and sub-sale capital gain potential.

    • Investor profile: Yield-seeking, shorter turnover cycles.

  • Medium-Term (5–8 years):

    • Best suited: Hyll on Holland – compact freehold enclave with accessible entry points, defensive pricing floor.

    • Investor profile: HNWIs looking for hedge against inflation & currency devaluation.

  • Long-Term (10+ years):

    • Best suited: Leedon Green & Skye at Holland – freehold flagship scale (Leedon Green) and boutique scarcity play, proximity to MRT and School and GCBA (Skye at Holland) respectively.

    • Investor profile: Family offices, intergenerational wealth transfer.

5. Strategic Insights

  • 📈 Freehold Scarcity Premium: Hyll on Holland and Leedon Green are freehold assets in a land-constrained CCR market—insulating long-term downside risk.

  • 🏢 Mixed-Use Vitality Advantage: Skye at Holland and One Holland Village adds liquidity, diversity, and a yield play unmatched by pure residential enclaves.

  • 🌏 Global Investor Magnet: All four cater to international demand—Chinese UHNWIs, Southeast Asian elites, and Western expatriates. The choice depends on whether rental yield (leasehold mixed-use) or asset preservation (freehold exclusivity) is prioritized.

  • 🧭 CMA Triangulation: Skye at Holland’s launch pricing and positioning can only be fully understood by anchoring it against the freehold benchmarks (Hyll, Leedon) and the leasehold mixed-use benchmark (One Holland Village).
