Lentor Hills Residences: Well-connected homes in the Lentor enclave

Lentor Hills Residences, a 598-unit residential development at Lentor Hills Road, was launched for sale in July of last year. Jointly developed by Hong Leong Holdings, GuocoLand and TID (a joint venture between Hong Leong Group and Mitsui Fudosan), the launch marked the second in the new Lentor Hills estate, following GuocoLand’s Lentor Modern in September 2022. The joint developers were awarded the site of Lentor Hills Residences through a Government Land Sale (GLS) tender in January 2022, beating three other contenders with a winning bid of $586.6 million, or $1,060 psf per plot ratio (ppr). The 99-year leasehold, 184,461 sq ft site is located just a five-minute walk from the Lentor MRT Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line. Upon completion of Lentor Hills Residences, the station will be accessible via a sheltered walkway that will also link the condo to the retail mall at nearby Lentor Modern. The strategic location of the development near public transportation and amenities has bolstered Lentor Hills Residences’ appeal among homebuyers. During the launch weekend, about half of the development’s units were snapped up at an average price of $2,080 psf.

It has one-bedroom units of 452 to 538 sq ft, one-bedroom-plus study units of 570 to 603 sq ft, two-bedroom units of 678 to 721 sq ft; two-bedroom-plus-study units of 743 to 775 sq ft; three-bedders of 958 to 980 sq ft; and three-bedroom-plus-yard units of 1,098 to 1,130 sq ft. There are also four-bedroom apartments of 1,345 to 1,399 sq ft and dual-key units of 1,302 sq ft to 1,399 sq ft. The development has continued to post robust sales since its launch. Lentor Hills Residences became one of the best-selling new project launches for 2023, both in terms of number of units sold and percentage take-up. Caveats lodged with URA show that in 2023, 438 apartments at the project were sold at an average price of $2,083 psf. This represents a take-up rate of 81%. To date, about 97% of units have been sold at an average price of $2,096 psf, based on caveats lodged as of Nov 4. The strong performance has garnered Lentor Hills Residences the Top Selling Projects (Outside Central Region) title at EdgeProp Singapore Excellence Awards 2024. This award recognises new launches that achieved the best sales performance in each planning region.

Modern living in nature

Lentor Hills Residences comprises five towers ranging from eight to 23 storeys. Paying homage to the Lower Peirce Reservoir located not far from the site, P&T Consultants, the development’s architect, crafted a design inspired by water cascades. A 50m swimming pool and an adjacent “water wall” act as a focal point for the condo. A two-storey clubhouse housing function rooms, a gym and a games room overlooks the pool. There is also a children’s pool, an aqua deck with a jacuzzi and an onsen alcove nearby. While the bulk of the facilities are on the first floor, a highlight of the development is a sky garden bridge that connects two of the five towers. Located on the eighth floor, it forms part of an expanded sky terrace with amenities such as a 400m jogging track, work-from-anywhere zones, gardens and a viewing deck. More amenities are available at other sky terraces at different towers, in addition to a rooftop garden with a barbecue and alfresco dining area. The development also features a tennis court, childcare centre and a putting green.

That same attention to detail is evident in the residences, where the developers aimed to provide a modern home that balances space, comfort and functionality. Besides offering a wide range of layouts that cater to different needs and preferences, each unit comes equipped with a smart home system that includes a digital lockset and smart air-conditioning features. Residents will be able to control and monitor these functions through a mobile app.

Shaping Lentor Hills

Lentor Hills Residences is one of several projects currently being undertaken by consortiums related to Hong Leong Holdings and GuocoLand in the Lentor Hills Estate. In early March, TID launched Lentoria — a 267-unit condo at a site bounded by Lentor Hills Road, Lentor Gardens and Yio Chu Kang Road. During its launch weekend, 50 units (18.7%) were sold at an average price of $2,120 psf. That same month, GuocoLand launched Lentor Mansion, a 533-unit development along Lentor Gardens. About 75% of units were taken up during its launch weekend on March 15 and 16, with prices ranging between $2,104 psf and $2,478 psf. The project is a joint development with Hong Leong Holdings. In September of last year, a joint venture comprising Hong Leong Holdings, GuocoLand and CSC Land Group was awarded a GLS site at Lentor Central for $435.17 million ($982 psf ppf). The new development on the site, the 477-unit Lentor Central Residences, is targeted for launch next year.
