Most buyers judge a place by the size of the flat, the list of amenities, or how fancy the lobby looks. But the real question you should ask is whether it’ll feel like a peaceful home or a crowded train station.
That’s what the Crowd Load Score measures. Even a nice-looking tower becomes a stressful place to live when there are too many people for the building’s services to handle. Think of it like a bridge or a highway. If too many people use the same limited resources, you get bottlenecks at the lifts, the security gate, the gym, and even during garbage collection. The Crowd Load Score tells you how manageable the daily crowd actually is, not just how many units are in the building.
Let’s look at here. If there are 350 flats with 70% occupancy and about six people per flat, you’re looking at roughly 1,470 residents. The main issue is that all these people are in one single tower. That means everyone is crammed into the same lobby, using the same elevators, and passing through the same gates. Even if your flat is great, the common areas are going to feel packed. When I score a society, I look at where people will get stuck daily and rate those risks.
The lift situation is a high risk. With 35 floors and only 5 lifts for 350 flats, that’s 70 flats per lift. To make matters worse, there’s no dedicated service lift. This means residents are sharing elevators with delivery drivers, garbage staff, and people moving furniture. During peak hours, it’ll be a mess with constant stops, long waits, and hygiene issues. Parking, on the other hand, is a low risk. There are 368 spots for 350 flats, which is a good ratio. It provides a small buffer for visitors, which is a strong point for this building.
Security and entry are back in the high-risk category. While 8 guards sound like enough, they work in shifts, so you’ll probably only have 2 or 3 active at once. Managing nearly 1,500 people plus delivery apps, maids, and drivers is a lot for a few people. It usually leads to chaos at the gate and weak security control. The amenities face the same problem. With a population of over 1,400, even if only 10% of people use the gym or pool, it’ll be overcrowded. Expect noise and waits, especially on weekends.
Daily operations like garbage collection are also high risk. Having 10 flats per floor with no service lift means staff and trash move through the same spaces as residents. This creates hygiene problems and more lift delays. Overall, I’d give this a Crowd Load Score of 4.2 out of 10 round figure 4. This doesn’t mean the construction is bad, but it does mean daily life will feel crowded and noisy. If you want peace, this isn’t the place for you. It might work for young professionals or families who are out during peak hours and want a budget-friendly option with parking, but it’s not ideal for seniors or anyone wanting a premium, calm lifestyle.
If you’re still interested, visit the building (if its resale) at 8 AM or 7 PM to see the crowd for yourself. Check the water pressure on higher floors and ask if they plan to use a booking system for the gym. My final advice is to avoid this property if you value quiet. With 10 flats per floor and no service lift, there are just too many people for the building to handle comfortably.
A good flat inside a crowded society = daily frustration.
A decent flat inside a balanced society = peaceful life.
