The Lentor Gardens site, which will be developed in partnership with Hong Leong Holdings, is GuocoLand’s third project in the Lentor Hills estate. Its mixed-use development Lentor Modern was the first new development to launch in the area, in September 2022. To date, it has seen 88% of its 605 units taken up at an average price of $2,104 psf.

In January 2022, a GLS site at Lentor Hills Road (Parcel A) was sold to GuocoLand, Intrepid Investments and TID Residential (a joint venture between Hong Leong Holdings and Mitsui Fudosan) for $586.6 million ($1,060 psf ppr). The 598-unit Lentor Hills Residences is expected to be launched soon.

Dora Chng, general manager (residential) at GuocoLand shares that the new development at Lentor Gardens will be a high-end residential project with around 530 units. “The development will comprise a combination of 8-storey blocks and 16-storey towers with sky terraces. More than 6,000 sq ft of childcare facilities will provide added convenience to families with young children,” she adds. It is expected to be ready for launch in 2H2024.

Meanwhile, Loke Kee Yeu, general manager (projects) at Hong Leong Holdings, notes Lentor estate’s “tremendous potential”. “We are pleased to once again partner GuocoLand in developing high quality and distinctive residential homes in this exciting and transformed area, following the development of Lentor Hills Residences which will be launched soon.”
