Prima facie, the price also looks very attractive from a psf point of view and is of a good size of 421 units. Located in the OCR, I expect many buyers to be familiar with this area, having either grown up close by or working relatively nearby. Purchasing a unit here would therefore allow them to be close to their families or enjoy the newfound convenience from the MRT and the upcoming shopping mall. I do not expect too many investors banking on fantastic rental returns as it is located in the OCR after all, and not particularly close to any major commercial hubs. Lentor Modern is located along Lentor Central, directly connected to the Lentor MRT on the Thomson East Coast Line and just beside Thomson Grove Condo. It is slated to be Lentor’s only integrated development, with 96,000 sq ft of commercial space that includes a 12,000 sq ft supermarket and 10,000 sq ft childcare.
There are also bus stops along with free-flowing highways that provide convenience to those who prefer to drive or take public transport. With such an established transport system, residents can easily access various amenities and services. Just a 3-minute walk to Lentor MRT station, residents will enjoy the benefits of living next to Ang Mo Kio District 20.
The NSC is expected to be built in the coming years and will help improve the commuting experience for motorists, as it will allow them to travel faster and easier than before. Education is paramount in this prestigious community, with renowned schools just a stone’s throw away. Acclaimed institutions such as Presbyterian High, CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School, and Anderson Primary School are all within the vicinity.
Whether you’re looking for a place to settle down or an opportunity to build your own home, you’ll find what you’re looking for at Lentor Hills Residences. It offers a variety of floor plans that cater to the needs of a broad range of buyers, from singles to families. A short distance drive from Lentor Hills Residences, residents can go to a market and food centre at Blk 628 Ang Mo Kio Ave 4. Further down the same road you will find Mayflower market and food centre at Blk 160 Ang Mo Kio Ave 4.
The managed aspect is an important point in any successful mall development, as seen from the many examples of strata-owned malls that have failed to stand out because of the messy tenant mix. Especially since the surrounding condos like Thomson Grove were built in 1984, it will definitely be a very stark difference. We have been here before with the “Modern” series by Guocoland, with its signature being the rougher, brutalist feel first conceptualised at Martin Modern. Midtown Modern embraced nature in the heart of the city while retaining the dark modern vibe of the towers. It is no different here at Lentor Modern, which already has nature at its doorstep, flanked by Lentor Hillock Park.
In the next 5–10 years, there will be more walking and biking paths in Ang Mo Kio and the nearby towns in North-East Singapore. Because of Ang Mo Kio Ave. 1, there will be more new houses in Lentor Hills and Kebun Baru. Towns with business hubs and industrial parks, like Defu or AMK, made it possible for people to find work. Green spaces need to be added and made in the North-East to make it easy for people to get to public spaces and parks along the water. In Ang Mo Kio, shopping stores like Thomson Plaza, Jubilee Square, Broadway Plaza, Djitsun Mall, and AMK Hub can be found.
Many of the Lentor Hills Residences units offer panoramic views of the beautiful neighbourhood, providing residents with a serene and peaceful living environment. This land parcel, known as Lentor Hills Road Parcel A, was the 2nd GLS site sold in 2022. The total site area of Lentor Hills Residences is approximately 17,100 square meters (sqm) with a gross floor area of approximately 55,400 sqm and 9 towers of 24-Storey Condo Units with 22 Strata Terraces. The developers have sold the residential property to a joint venture between GuocoLand, Leong Holdings and TID at S$585.6 million, equivalent to S$1 060 per square foot.
By engaging the Official Direct Developer Sales Team, you will also enjoy the best possible direct developer price. The Lentor MRT station is a short distance away from Lentor Hills Residences, which offers exceptional connectivity. Residents have easy access to various areas of Singapore from this convenient transportation hub.
Lentor Hills Residences is expected to house 598 units, replenishing the depleted home supply in the OCR. The Lentor Hills Development (Parcel A) site is the second of four new housing sites within Lentor released by URA. Lentor Hills Road, which is primarily private residential enclave of condominiums and landed houses, will see new residential projects to breathe new life into this tranquil estate. Interested parties of Lentor Hills Residences can find more project details in this site.
So your unblocked views and the current more laid back nature of the area will definitely change. The other immediate surrounding resale developments are mostly leasehold and very old in nature. While it has moved past its previous high, it looks clear that those concerned with capital appreciation should stick with the freehold option at this stage, assuming purchasing an old condo is an option. In other words, you get a 3-bedroom “premium” (in new launch speak) for the same price of a “compact” new launch unit. The living area is huge, and there’s even a dedicated dining area as well as a decently-sized balcony.
