The Orie
QUICK SUMMARY
The Orie presents a strong opportunity for own-stay buyers, particularly for larger units, due to its prime city fringe location in Toa Payoh and the scarcity of new condo supply in the area. While launch prices set a new benchmark, they are considered decent for a harmonized city fringe project. Investors for smaller units should exercise caution regarding entry pricing to ensure favorable exit strategies.

What the Experts Say
Key takeaways from two trusted Singapore property YouTube channels.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Excellent city fringe location in Toa Payoh, with quick access to Braddell MRT (3-5 min walk) and key amenities.
- Strong demand from HDB upgraders and million-dollar HDB flats nearby, ensuring a robust resale market and exit strategy.
- Located within 1km of two reputable schools: CHIJ Toa Payoh and Pei Chun Primary, along with Paterson Primary School.
- As a harmonized project, it offers new calculation of floor area, which means no aircon ledge counted into the building area, potentially offering better usable space.
CONCERNS
- Some unit types, such as the 3-bedroom 2-bathroom plus storeroom and 2-bedroom 2-bathroom, lack windows in the kitchen or bathrooms, which can affect ventilation.
- The project is not directly adjacent to a major shopping mall, which Eric Chiew noted as a minor drawback.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Toa Payoh has a significant undersupply of condos (6.5% condo mix vs. 37,000 HDB units), indicating strong demand.
- Comes with a balanced unit mix (50% 1-2 bedrooms, 50% 3-5 bedrooms), appealing to a wide range of buyers including own-stay families.
- Developed by a consortium of renowned developers (CDL, Frasers, Siku House), suggesting high quality and reliability.
- Features a basement carpark, which is a significant advantage over older projects like Gem Residences.
- The 3-bedroom compact unit (850 sqft) is highly attractive due to its rarity in including a storeroom, generous kitchen, segregated dining, and strong co-living conversion potential for high rental yield.
- The 5-bedroom units are particularly rare in Toa Payoh and offer a private lift, making them highly sought after by own-stay buyers looking for spacious single-floor plates.
CONCERNS
- The 2-bedroom 2-bathroom dumbbell layout and traditional layout units do not have windows in their bathrooms, which is a common drawback for such layouts.
- The master bedroom wardrobe space in the 5-bedroom unit is not as generous as typically found in new launch 5-bedroom units.
- The living room in the 5-bedroom unit is not as wide as comparable layouts in other new launch projects like Emerald of Katon.
- The 4-bedroom units lack a landscape format living area, which is typically preferred in larger units for a wider frontage.
- The 4-bedroom plus study unit incurs a significant price premium for an additional study and dry kitchen, which might not be perceived as good value by resale buyers.
- The 3-bedroom dual key unit, while offering flexibility, caters to a niche group of investors and may face challenges in future resale due to its higher quantum for investment purposes.
- Some floors may be affected by large RC ledges (fin structures) that could block natural light and accumulate dust or litter.
