Property Overview: Why The Mint Residences Stands Out
The Mint Residences is a freehold condominium at 178-180 Joo Chiat Terrace (427324-427326), developed by Oaktree Properties Pte Ltd. With just 24 units across 2 blocks of 5 storeys, it offers rare privacy in bustling D15 (East Coast, Marine Parade).
Buyers love its quiet estate vibe, lap pool, playground, and proximity to Eunos MRT. Current sale prices range from S$543,000 to S$2.64M (S$412-S$1,616 psf), reflecting strong value in Geylang neighbourhood. For full project details, see our project analysis.
