Lentor: Singapore's most active new launch precinct

Since the Thomson–East Coast Line opened Lentor station in 2022, the surrounding Lentor Hills estate has quietly become the most intensively developed new launch precinct in Singapore. Six private residential sites, launched over 30 months, have delivered close to 3,000 units — most sold within their launch year.

The sequence

1. Lentor Modern (2022) — 605 units, the GuocoLand-led mixed-use anchor
2. Lentor Hills Residences (2023) — 598 units, opened the Hills estate proper
3. Hillock Green (2023) — 474 units, sold out through 2024
4. Lentoria (2024) — 267 units, the low-rise boutique in the estate
5. Lentor Mansion (2024) — 533 units, effectively sold out
6. Lentor Central Residences (2024, forthcoming) — late-cycle entrant

Why Lentor sold

Three factors compound. The first is transport: Lentor MRT sits at the centre of the estate, with Thomson Plaza and Upper Thomson village under four minutes away. The second is schools: CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls and Anderson Primary within 1 km, plus the Australian International School on Lorong Chuan. The third is product diversity: buyers had credible choice at every price point from S$998k 2-bedrooms to S$5M+ 5-bedrooms within walking distance.

Late-cycle Lentor launches will need to price more carefully. Resale from the 2022–2023 vintage is beginning to overlap with new-launch supply, and the price gap has narrowed.
