Lentor Gardens moved 270 units — more than half its 499 homes — over a single launch weekend on 18–19 July 2026, and frankly, that’s not surprising to anyone who’s been watching this corridor. All three commercial units went too, at S$2,550 per square foot. The residential average sat at S$2,350 psf. Not cheap. But not unreasonable either, especially once you understand the land cost story.
270 units. One weekend. Half the development — gone before the paint dried.
The developer picked up this site at S$920 psf per plot ratio — the lowest among all eight Lentor government sites sold. Think of it like getting the last chicken rice plate before the hawker uncle raises prices. That pricing headroom flowed directly to buyers, with two-bedders going for around S$1.4 million and three-bedders around S$1.9 million. For OCR, that’s competitive. Very.
The unit mix tells you everything about who’s buying. Three-bedders led at 42% of sales, two-bedders followed at 40%, and four-bedders made up the remaining 18%. Premium units flew off the shelf — 93% of two-bedroom premium (HS) units sold, and 79% of three-bedroom premium units. Buyers aren’t just chasing space. They want the right space.
Ninety-one percent of buyers were Singapore citizens. Mostly first-time couples and young singles. People who’ve been waiting for something they can actually afford in a neighbourhood that’s already working. Lentor MRT is open. Lentor Modern mall opened in January 2026. The infrastructure isn’t a promise anymore — it’s real.
And this project isn’t just four walls. Three 16-storey towers, one eight-storey tower, three terrace houses, a 200-metre waterscape, a 75-metre pool, direct access to Lentor Hillock Park. CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’ School nearby. Parents notice these things.
The six Lentor projects before this one sold 2,929 of 2,954 units — a 99.2% take-up rate. This estate is basically sold out before Lentor Gardens even hits its stride. Analysts have noted that the Lentor precinct catchment spans more than 860,000 residents, underlining just how deep the pool of potential buyers runs. Early buyers at Lentor Modern have already recorded average gains exceeding $300,000, with peak gains approaching $600,000 — a track record that gives new buyers here plenty of reason for confidence. Kingsford’s winning bid stood just $7 million above the nearest competing offer, a razor-thin margin that speaks to how fiercely contested this land was from the very start. With limited unsold inventory left in the area and the TOP expected December 2030, don’t expect this momentum to stop anytime soon.
