The Tre Ver is the second UOL Group project known to have a termite problem. SINGAPORE – Residents in a Potong Pasir condominium project developed by real estate giant UOL Group are grappling with a termite infestation, with multiple units in several blocks believed to be affected in recent years.

In 2023, there were reports of a termite issue in the 1,074-unit Avenue South Residence condo in Silat Avenue off Jalan Bukit Merah.
