BUY AND SELL A SINGAPORE PROPERTY FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOUSE

Lentor Gardens Residences has made a strong debut, selling 270 of its 499 residential units over its launch weekend on July 18 and 19. The sales translate to a take-up rate of about 54 per cent, with units sold at an average price of S$2,350 per square foot (psf). All three commercial units in the development were also sold, at an average price of S$2,550 psf. The launch marks the seventh private residential project to be launched in the Lentor precinct in the past four years, yet buyer demand remained healthy despite the increasing supply of new homes in the area. Three-bedroom units lead sales Three-bedroom homes accounted for the largest share of transactions, making up 42 per cent of total residential sales. Two-bedroom units followed closely at 40 per cent, while four-bedroom units accounted for the remaining 18 per cent. The strongest demand was concentrated on the more compact three-bedroom configurations. These units were fully sold within hours, with prices ranging from about S$2.05 million to S$2.21 million. Two-bedroom premium units achieved a 93 per cent take-up rate, while approximately 79 per cent of the three-bedroom premium units were sold during the launch weekend. The relatively manageable quantum of the smaller units appears to have been an important factor in attracting buyers, particularly first-time purchasers and younger households. Singaporean buyers dominate Singaporeans accounted for approximately 91 per cent of buyers, with permanent residents and foreigners making up the remaining 9 per cent. Industry observers said the buyer profile was largely made up of young couples purchasing their first matrimonial homes, alongside younger singles receiving financial support from their parents. Prices started from around S$1.4 million for two-bedroom units and S$1.9 million for three-bedroom units, placing the project within a price range that remains accessible to a segment of Singapore's mass-market private housing buyers. Location remains a key attraction Lentor Gardens Residences is situated close to Lentor MRT station and Lentor Modern mall, while established schools such as CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' School are also within the surrounding area. The development sits on a 99-year leasehold site and comprises three 16-storey towers, an eight-storey tower and three strata terrace houses. The buildings are arranged around an approximately 200-metre waterscape, with landscaped spaces forming a significant part of the development. The project is expected to obtain its Temporary Occupation Permit in December 2030. Its location within the established Lentor precinct is also increasingly important to buyers. Unlike the earlier projects launched in the area, purchasers are now able to evaluate a neighbourhood where transport infrastructure, retail amenities and residential developments are already taking shape. Resilient demand for mass-market homes The strong launch performance comes against a backdrop of resilient demand for private homes in Singapore's Outside Central Region (OCR). Demand has continued to be supported by first-time buyers and upgraders, alongside relatively stable interest rates and a tight labour market. Strong sales at other recent mass-market launches, including Tengah Garden Residences and Vela Bay, have also pointed to continued appetite for well-located homes at relatively attainable price points. The performance of Lentor Gardens Residences is notable because it is the seventh private residential launch in the precinct within four years. Despite the increasing number of new projects, buyers appear willing to commit to the area when pricing, unit layouts and location meet their requirements. Pent-up demand also played a role The launch also benefited from pent-up demand following a period in which some developers held back new project launches after cooling measures were introduced in early May and during the June school holidays. Analysts noted that the project's proximity to Lentor MRT station and Lentor Modern mall, together with a sizeable surrounding residential catchment, helped underpin buyer interest. Another factor was the project's relatively competitive land cost. The site was acquired at S$920 psf per plot ratio, understood to be the lowest land rate among the eight Lentor sites sold by the Government. This provided the developer with greater flexibility in setting selling prices while maintaining a competitive position within the precinct. A positive start to the second half of 2026 The launch has set a positive tone for Singapore's private residential market in the second half of 2026, demonstrating that underlying demand remains intact for projects that offer a combination of location, reasonable pricing and practical layouts. The concentration of sales in two- and three-bedroom units also highlights the continued preference among owner-occupiers for family-oriented homes with manageable purchase prices. With only one more major residential project currently expected to launch in the Lentor precinct, potentially next year, Lentor Gardens Residences could also benefit from reduced competition for new homes in the area. Overall, the launch suggests that buyers remain selective but are prepared to commit when projects offer the right balance of price, location, accessibility and liveability. Lentor Gardens Residences' 54 per cent weekend take-up provides a strong indication that demand for well-positioned mass-market private housing remains resilient in Singapore.
