W Residences Marina View
Marina View / Downtown, D01 · IOI Properties (run under the W brand by Marriott)
Overall score 6.6 out of 10. Avoid for now unless you get a deep discount. Lowest exit score in the whole list. A year after launch about 2% is sold, and the recorded deals were done far below asking, which tells you the asking prices are not the market price. The lease has already lost 5 years, sizes include balcony and air-con ledge (so the psf looks lower than it is), and completed Marina Bay condos resell at about $1,830-2,100 psf.
