What seven years of occupancy gives buyers
Vida Residences has been through enough cycles for OA budgets to settle, snagging issues to resolve under warranty, and pricing to find the level that reflects actual demand. Pre-2020 handovers also have the benefit of seeing the COVID-era market correction and recovery, which is useful price-discovery data for any buyer modelling forward returns.
Implications for buyers and renters
Buyers: secondary-market only, standard DLD process. Renters: the Vida brand has supported tenant demand at consistent rate-per-square-foot premiums to mid-tier alternatives in the same district.
