Zyon Grand vs Promenade Peak – Which is better ?

Why is it Important to Compare Zyon Grand Against Promenade Peak?

With the upcoming launch of Zyon Grand, one question sits at the top of every investor’s mind: how does it compare to its immediate neighbour, Promenade Peak?

There are two key reasons why this comparison is essential:

1. Benchmark for value – Promenade Peak, launched on 2 August 2025, is located right next to Zyon Grand. Its pricing and positioning naturally serve as the determinant benchmark for whether Zyon Grand is underpriced, overpriced, or fairly valued.
   
2. Resale frame of reference – For future resale buyers, Promenade Peak will act as the closest point of comparison. If Promenade Peak falls short in certain areas, agents marketing Zyon Grand units can leverage those weaknesses to secure an easier sell. Conversely, if Zyon Grand is the one that loses out, Promenade Peak will gain the advantage.

For these reasons, it’s crucial to critically review how Zyon Grand will stack up against Promenade Peak before committing to Zyon Grand.

Factors for Comparison

Here’s the thing with factors for comparison, we struggled with a few iterations on this section.

First, let’s get this out of the way. Since both developments are located right next to each other, there is really no basis for comparing macro factors such as location, price catalysts, or exit strategies. They will both share identical macro attributes. What remains relevant for comparison are the micro factors i.e. development pricing, unit layout, facade, and facilities.

We initially considered including elements like exterior facade and facilities in the comparison process. While these are no doubt important, they remain subjective at this stage since we only have the developer’s artist impressions and site plans to go by. Who are we to say Zyon Grand will look nicer than Promenade Peak?

Having personally experienced these pitfalls, trusting subjective sales pitches and losing money in the process. Our goal is to refrain from adding any subjectivity or fluff into this review.

We believe the safest way is to compare the two projects strictly on deterministic factors. This led us to the following chain of thought:

Adopting an investor centric perspective

Assume I am an investor today with a budget ranging from $1.5M to $1.7M (for a 2-bedroom) or $2.3M to $2.6M (for a 3-bedroom). What kind of product can I buy in Zyon Grand, and how would that compare to a similar product in Promenade Peak, in terms of layout, view, and floor level? (We are confident in these budget assumptions, as most of our readers and research clients fall within these ranges.)

By applying this chain of thought, we strip away the subjectivity of evaluating facades and instead focus on identifying a clear “value” entry. If Zyon Grand eventually turns out to have a superior facade compared to Promenade Peak, that would simply be a bonus for our readers.

Unit Types You Get in Zyon Grand vs Promenade Peak

With a typical investor’s budget of $1.5M to $2.6M, here’s what you can expect from Zyon Grand compared to Promenade Peak.

Before diving into the specifics, let’s establish some context. Since Zyon Grand’s actual launch prices will only be revealed on launch day, we adopt a prudent estimate of $2,900 psf for 2-bedroom units and $3,000 psf for 3-bedroom units. For reference, the market is currently estimating launch prices in the $2,700 to $3,000 psf range.

For Promenade Peak, which has already been launched, we rely on actual average transacted prices.

Zyon Grand

Within an investor’s budget of $1.5M to $2.6M, you would be able to afford:

• 2 Bed 1 Bath
  
• 2 Bed 2 Bath
  
• 2 Bed 2 Bath + Study

And importantly, for investors with a higher budget between $2.3M and $2.6M, you would also be able to buy into:

• 3 Bed Compact (note: comes without an enclosed kitchen)
  
• 3 Bed Deluxe

Promenade Peak

With the same budget of $1.5M to $2.6M, your options are more limited. You would only be able to buy into:

• 2 Bed 2 Bath
  
• 2 Bed 2 Bath + Study

And these come at a premium of $100K to $200K above Zyon Grand for the same unit types.

Unit Type You Can Buy in Zyon Grand vs Promenade Peak – 1.6 mil to 2.5 mil Budget

#1 – Affordability, Purchase Quantum and Unit Size

Simply based on the unit size and pricing strategy, it is obvious that Promenade Peak’s developer is adopting an entirely different positioning strategy from Zyon Grand. It is targeting the premium buyer market, building bigger units at potentially a higher psf pricing than Zyon Grand.

Whereas Zyon Grand is a lot more investor-friendly. Its compact unit sizes give it a significant advantage in creating units with a more affordable purchase quantum.

What’s more interesting is that it offers investors a wider range of unit types to choose from. With a budget of $1.6M to $2.5M, you will be able to access multiple unit types and even potentially buy into a 3-bedroom unit type if you are able to stretch your budget towards the $2.4M range.

Being profit and ROI focused, this is a clear plus point for Zyon Grand against Promenade Peak.

#2 – Ambiguity in Betting on Premium Aesthetics

Circling back to Promenade Peak’s premium positioning and giving credit where it is due. Promenade Peak may indeed turn out to be a more luxurious and premium-looking development compared to Zyon Grand.

But the issue is that betting on an attribute like this at the new launch stage is tricky, as it is hard to quantify or determine which development will ultimately look better or feel more luxurious simply from a site plan and artist’s impression.

Adding to the ambiguity, premium aesthetics and premium feel are highly subjective. They only start to drastically influence resale buying decisions if the “aesthetic” or “grandeur” gap between the two developments is extremely wide. In other words, Promenade Peak would need to be truly exceptional, while Zyon Grand would need to be visibly inferior, in order for buyers to be swayed.

Interestingly, investing based on such attributes is much more suited at the resale stage, when you can actually physically inspect the completed development and make an informed judgment.

#3 – Unit Type that Benefit Most From Premium Position

Articulating this point is a lot easier given that we took our stance earlier in this article. Given that we are writing from the perspective of an investor with a budget of $1.6mil to $2.5mil.

Martin Modern as a Reference

If you reference Martin Modern, a resale development in River Valley that has outperformed most resale developments in River Valley primarily due to its premium aesthetics and beautiful facade, validated by many resale buyers. The bigger unit types are the ones that enjoy the strongest capital gain. But take this reference with a pinch of salt, this is only using one development as an example.

Martin Modern Profitability by Unit Type

Let’s Substantiate with Logical Thinking

Let’s substantiate this with logical thinking. Let’s think about who are the current buyers of 2-bedroom units and 3-bedroom compact units. Are they really the high net-worth premium buyers that will pay extra to buy into an uber premium development?

Now fast forward five years after the development TOP. I would reckon the resale buyer profile for these 2-bedroom units and 3-bedroom compact units to remain largely the same. They are still your slightly more affluent and upmarket buyers but still working within a budget, or your rental-yield–centric second-property investors.

True Beneficiaries of Premium Positioning

The point we are getting at is that the true buyers of premium, exclusive units in a premium development are higher net-worth buyers buying for their own stay. This is when budget takes a backseat, and paying a couple hundred k for a private lift and an exclusive, iconic development takes precedence.

Hence, if you are an investment-minded buyer working within a budget, buying into smaller unit type, this is a point to be conscious of.

#4 – Layout Comparison: Zyon Grand vs Promenade Peak

Now let’s look at the layout. By this point, it should be clear that Promenade Peak features a larger overall unit size across all unit types compared with Zyon Grand, while Zyon Grand follows more of River Green’s compact style.

Efficiency vs Extra Space

The key question is whether smaller equates to better liveability and efficiency – or, in the case of Promenade Peak, where the extra square footage is actually allocated.

• For the 2 Bed 2 Bath unit type, both developments offer sound layouts. In fact, Promenade Peak is slightly more efficient, as Zyon Grand has a slightly longer entrance walkway.
  
• For the 2 Bed + Study and 3 Bed Deluxe, however, Zyon Grand has the advantage. Its layouts are more efficient and conventional, making them safer choices from an investor perspective.

Unconventional Layouts in Promenade Peak

Promenade Peak’s 2 Bed + Study and 3 Bed Deluxe units adopt an unconventional L-shaped layout, resulting in a rectangular living room with bedrooms stacked side by side and facing the toilets.

This design compromise stems from architectural constraints. Promenade Peak’s floorplate was optimised for larger premium 4- and 5-bedroom units, leaving smaller unit types to fit around this structure.

Layout Comparison – 3 Bed Deluxe

#5 – The Service Apartment Component for Zyon Grand

Up till this point, Zyon Grand has gained most of the plus points for its investor-focused unit types. But for potential buyers, there is one important component that needs a closer look – its service apartment component.

This introduces an area of uncertainty. The presence of short-term rental tenants raises questions about how their in-and-out movement may affect the overall privacy and residential vibe of Zyon Grand.

As such, this ambiguity must be factored into the pros and cons comparison between Zyon Grand and Promenade Peak, especially since Promenade Peak does not have a service apartment component.

Conclusion

It is clear that for an investor, Zyon Grand is the much safer choice. It offers more strengths, stronger selling propositions, and fewer areas of ambiguity.

That said, this does not mean Promenade Peak is a lesser development. Its larger 3-bedroom units with private lifts, along with its 4- and 5-bedroom premium offerings, may present a stronger proposition for the upper-tier, high-net-worth market.

But from the standpoint of our readers, who are primarily investors and second-property buyers – Zyon Grand remains the safer option.
