Updated September 2026. Project facts and surrounding plans should be rechecked before a purchase.
The Criterion in context
The Criterion is an executive condominium in Yishun designed around family-sized living. Its value proposition should be assessed through actual unit condition, layout efficiency, facing, transport time and comparable transactions—not a single composite score.
What Chencharu may change
URA's Draft Master Plan 2025 identifies Chencharu as a new public-housing estate and places the wider Yishun area within ongoing rejuvenation plans. More homes and amenities can strengthen the town, but they may also introduce construction activity and future competition. Read the official URA planning material as a long-term direction rather than a guaranteed price catalyst.
How to assess a specific unit
- Compare same-project transactions by size, floor and facing.
- Check walking routes and real travel times at peak hours.
- Review maintenance condition and upcoming capital expenditure.
- Map nearby supply that could compete at resale.
- Price the unit against both Yishun ECs and private-condo alternatives.
The best case for The Criterion is a home that already works for the household today, with future town improvements treated as optional upside.
