Lentoria, formerly an enbloc, is the fourth project in Lentor with prices from $1,965 psf
Lentoria, a joint venture between Hong Leong Holdings and Mitsui Fudosan, is set to redefine Lentor as Singapore’s premier private residential enclave. This 267-unit condo will open for preview on Feb 17, and it will stand out as a distinctive development in the Lentor area.
“It is going to be the first condo you see when you drive into Lentor Hills estate from Yio Chu Kang Road,” says Yoichi Kaga, managing director of TID, the firm behind Lentoria. The company secured the site at Lentor Hills Road Parcel B in September 2022, when it submitted the highest bid of $276.36 million for the 116,412 sq ft government land sale (GLS) site. This translates to $1,130 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr), and it is expected to attract strong interest from both homebuyers and investors.
With its prime location and top-notch amenities, Lentoria promises to be a highly desirable option for those looking to invest in the Lentor area. And with its upcoming preview, prospective buyers can get the latest information on available units and prices for Lentoria, as well as take a closer look at the development’s many features.
Lentoria will be the fourth new project launched in the Lentoria Hills estate since the launch of the first project there, the 605-unit Lentor Modern, in September 2022. The upcoming development, which was awarded the site at Lentor Hills Road Parcel B in September 2022 when it submitted the highest bid of $276.36 million for the 116,412 sq ft government land sale (GLS) site, may also be the smallest residential development launched in the up-and-coming residential enclave in terms of number of units. This makes it even more exclusive and sought after by potential buyers.
The coveted Former La Ville Enbloc, now known as Arina East Residences, has been successfully acquired by ZACD Group for a whopping $152 million. The renowned property agency JLL has played a vital role in the transaction, led by none other than Executive Director Tan Hong Boon. The transaction marks an impressive land rate of $1,540 psf ppr, solidifying the property’s prime location in Tanjong Rhu.
TID’s Kaga is unfazed by the competition, confidently stating, “With our entry, Lentor will have four projects for prospective buyers to consider. We are confident that considering our project’s quality and size, we will manage a relatively good sales pace.” In fact, TID has a track record of success with smaller-scale developments, having sold 85% of the units at its previous project, the 165-unit One-North Eden, during its opening weekend in April 2021.
As a new private residential estate, Lentor Hills has attracted a diverse pool of potential buyers, and this is set to continue with the opening of the Lentor MRT Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line. This has significantly improved public transport connectivity and increased the attractiveness of the area, making Lentor a highly sought after location for homebuyers.
TID expects strong interest from young families, and has tailored the unit mix of Lentoria accordingly. “Our unit mix reflects the changing demographics, especially among younger families,” says Kaga. “We feel that offering a decent-sized two-bedroom meets the criteria for most homebuyers looking to move to Lentor Hills.”
Affordability is also a key factor for homebuyers, with TID considering the affordability range of typical buyers. This has resulted in unit sizes that meet the housing budget and space requirements of new families with young children. The price range for Lentoria is also expected to be highly attractive, with one-bedroom units starting from $1.19 million ($2,190 psf), two-bedroom units from $1.44 million ($1,965 psf), and three-bedroom units from $1.85 million ($1,974 psf).
In addition to its prime location and top-notch amenities, Lentoria also boasts unobstructed views, thanks to its position at the corner of Lentor Gardens and Yio Chu Kang Road. Units will enjoy views of the surrounding greenery, including the Thomson Nature Park and Upper and Lower Peirce Reservoir Park. There will also be stunning views of the CBD, Singapore Island Country Club, Pierce Reservoir and Upper Seletar Reservoir Park from the high-floor units.
As an added plus, top floor units at Lentoria will enjoy a 5.5m ceiling height for the living and dining rooms, master bedroom, and junior master bedroom. This double-volume ceiling emphasises the unblocked views and provides residents with a sense of spaciousness and luxury.
To top it off, residents at Lentoria will be surrounded by nature, with both the exterior architecture and landscaping taking inspiration from the surrounding greenery. Amenities at Lentoria include a pool lounge, hydrotherapy spa, cabana, sun deck, fitness areas, jogging and walking track, gym, yoga studio and two function rooms in the clubhouse.
With all these features, and its location at the heart of the up-and-coming Lentor area, it’s no surprise that the developer is already planning for future projects in the area. “We are all part of the same group of companies,” says Kaga. “As Lentor gains prominence as a private residential estate, TID intends to raise the quality of its residential offerings.”
