I don't cover District 28 as my primary corridor — my base is Upper Thomson and Lentor. But Belgravia Ace keeps coming up from buyers asking a different question than the usual condo one: is freehold landed, even strata landed, worth the premium over a private condo at a similar quantum? I checked the numbers before answering.

Direct Answer
Belgravia Ace is the third and final phase of Fairview Developments' freehold strata landed trilogy off Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 in Seletar — 107 units (104 semi-detached, 3 terrace), TOP already obtained, launched January 2022 at $1,016–$1,078 psf and now reselling at $1,244 psf. Twenty-three units remain unsold, with the developer expected to release them in 3Q2026 at $1,247–$1,362 psf. The corridor thesis is real — all three Belgravia phases have appreciated together — but the transport story is still four years from delivery, and that matters for anyone underwriting near-term upside.

STAR Scorecard — Belgravia Ace · District 28 · 2026

James's professional assessment. Not investment advice.

  • Schools (15%): Rosyth Primary School, Anderson Secondary, Anderson JC, and Nanyang JC all sit within reach — a genuinely strong education catchment for the corridor. 4/5.
  • Transport (35%): No MRT within comfortable walking distance today — Ang Mo Kio MRT is a 3.5km, 9-minute shuttle away. Tavistock MRT on the Cross Island Line is targeted for 2030, a real but distant catalyst. 2/5 today, upside pending.
  • Amenities (20%): A quiet, low-density landed enclave by design — not a walk-to-mall address. AMK Hub and Broadway Plaza are a drive away. 2.5/5.
  • Returns (30%): All three Belgravia phases have appreciated in tandem — Villas from $983 to $1,110 psf, Green from $1,133 to $1,187 psf, Ace from $1,171 to $1,244 psf — on freehold tenure with a completed, occupied track record. 4/5.

The Seven-Layer Verdict

Read the full breakdown of what CDL-style land-cost analysis becomes for a landed trilogy, how the floor plans actually use their 3,649–4,370 sqft, whether $1,244 psf resale is defensible, what landed rental yield really looks like, why the Cross Island Line matters more in 2030 than today, who buys a strata landed home from you at exit, and what the MCST reality is for a gated landed enclave — not a condo.

Why Now

Belgravia Ace is unusual among the projects I cover because it's already complete — TOP obtained, residents in place, an actual resale track record instead of a projection. That removes a layer of uncertainty a pre-construction launch always carries. What it doesn't remove is the transport timeline: Tavistock MRT is a real, funded, under-construction line, but 2030 is still four years out. The 23 remaining units give a genuine entry point into a freehold landed trilogy with a proven appreciation record, at a psf below where resale has already settled.

James's Note
Landed housing isn't my primary focus — my practice is built around strata condo governance, MCST quality, sinking fund health. But a strata landed development still has an MCST, still has shared facilities and a management structure, and that's exactly the layer most landed buyers skip past because they assume "landed" means "no strata headaches." It doesn't. Part 7 covers what that actually means at Belgravia Ace.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Belgravia Ace still available to buy?
Yes — 23 of 107 units remain unsold as of 2026, with the developer expected to release them in 3Q2026 at $1,247–$1,362 psf.

What's the difference between Belgravia Ace and the other two Belgravia phases?
Belgravia Ace is the third and final phase, majority semi-detached (104 of 107 units) versus Belgravia Villas' terrace-heavy mix; all three sit on the same freehold Seletar enclave off Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5.

When does the Cross Island Line open near Belgravia Ace?
Tavistock MRT Station, within walking distance of the development, is targeted for completion around 2030.

Has Belgravia Ace appreciated since launch?
Yes — from a $1,016–$1,078 psf launch in January 2022 to $1,244 psf resale in 2026, consistent with appreciation across all three Belgravia phases.

Is landed housing a good fit for a yield-focused investor?
Generally not the primary case for landed — gross yields run lower than condos (Part 4 covers the actual numbers); the stronger case here is capital preservation on freehold tenure and a proven appreciation trajectory.
