LENTOR HILLS RESIDENCES

New Lentor Hills Condo Launch . 3 Mins Walk to MRT
View Showflat . By GuocoLand & Hong Leong & TID

Welcome to the launch of Lentor Hills Residences. This is a new condominium in the Lentor Hills Estate development, that is set within a largely private housing area. The relatively quiet estate is composed mainly of landed homes, and low to mid-rise condominiums.

It occupies a prized site here, being right beside Lentor Central, and therefore opposite Lentor MRT station and Lentor Modern.

Lentor Modern is a mixed-use development currently under construction, that will house the new neighbourhood mall and apartments. This mall will provide a childcare centre, shops, eateries, and a fairly large supermarket to serve residents of the estate and surrounding areas.

Lentor Hills Residences will be connected to both the MRT station and Lentor Modern mall by a covered linkway to the Garden Gate. From this entrance, an internal garden walk links residents to their respective towers. The garden walk is set in lush greenery, making the walk home an enjoyable experience.

The developers are a consortium of GuocoLand (also responsible for Lentor Modern), Hong Leong Holdings, and TID. All three are premium developers in Singapore, with a long-standing reputation for quality products.

The Lentor Hills Residences site is also special because it is one of only five sites clustered round Hillock Park. Hillock Park, as its name probably implies, occupies the highest point here; the five sites slope up to it.

This area was originally secondary forest, and Hillock Park was planned to retain a patch of that for posterity.

The five sites are separated by green fingers radiating out, that serve as connectors to the surroundings and the MRT. Which means this Lentor Hills condo will enjoy some buffer from its immediate neighbours, especially the side facing Hillock Park.

In fact the layout of this new estate focuses on green spaces, and safe access for pedestrians and cyclists. URA, in its masterplan, envisages it as a pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood set in lush greenery.

In the neighbourhood is some 157 hectares of nature reserves, parks, and reservoirs, and quite a few recreational venues. Besides the Hillock and Linear Parks within the estate, we have the Lower Seletar Reservoir and Park to the north.

And to the east lie Thomson Nature Park, and Lower Peirce Reservoir and Park, in the Central Water Catchment Area. That’s an impressive amount of oxygen-generating, cooling greenery around.

On a more practical side, an attraction for young families could be that Anderson Primary School is within 1 KM radius. Some stacks here could also possibly be within 1 KM of St Nicholas Girls Primary School.

Transport-wise, besides the Thomson-East Coast MRT Line, a network of expressways and arterial roads serve residents in the estate. One of them is the new North-South Corridor (NSC), that is being built 5 minutes drive away.

This brand new expressway will directly connect the North Region of Singapore to the City Centre. It won’t just benefit drivers. With continuous dedicated bus lanes, bus commuters will be able to shave 10 to 15 minutes off their travel time.

Furthermore, the NSC’s cycling trunk route will link with the Park Connector Network and local cycling paths, along its length. Which would certainly make it easier for cyclists and active mobility users to get around safely to more places.

Lentor Hills Condominium . The Vision

The developers will bring their wealth of experience in residential and mixed developments, to spearhead the transformation of Lentor Hills.

In developing Lentor Modern for instance, GuocoLand Group’s Chief Executive Officer Mr Cheng Hsing Yao explained their vision thus: “We are known to transform neighbourhoods, as can be seen in Tanjong Pagar and the upcoming Midtown area at Bugis-Beach Road. We see immense potential for this project to redefine the Lentor Hills area as an exciting residential and lifestyle destination.”

Lentor Hills Residences will ride upon the growth of Lentor Hills as a lifestyle destination. Hong Leong and GuocoLand intend to build upon the unique context of this site and its surroundings.

They will integrate it with the greenery of Hillock Park, and the green fingers radiating from the park. It will be lushly landscaped as well, in keeping with the overall greenery of the area. The plan is to create an attractive environment that fosters an active lifestyle amidst greenery.

Design Concept . Landscape & Massing Design

Appropriate building typologies shall be used in this new development too, to respond sensitively to the scale and form of the neighbourhood. Namely the landed homes, the parks, and Lentor Modern mixed development across Lentor Central.

Access to the site will align with the public plaza at Lentor Modern, that serves as the point of arrival to the estate from the station. This station on the Thomson-East Coast MRT Line (TEL) will take residents directly to major business hubs. Such as the CBD and Marina Bay Financial District, as well as Woodlands Regional Centre.

Or to Orchard Road. From Lentor station to Orchard station takes 22 minutes. That’s up to 5 minutes less than a train ride from Holland Village to the same Orchard station. And the whole journey from Lentor Hills condo itself is sheltered all the way too.

Response to this Lentor Hills condominium launch is likely to be fair, given the convenience of the site, pedigree of the developers, and lower supply of new housing in recent years. Especially where 4 and 5 bedroom private apartments are concerned – supply of these within a 1KM radius is extremely low.

Hence it might tap demand from long-time residents in the area looking to downsize. Or young married couples wishing to stay near their parents in the nearby estates.

It is also within reach of various recreational venues. Like the future Hillock and Linear parks within the estate. Or the Yio Chu Kang Stadium & Sports Complex, the Lower Peirce Reservoir and Park, and Thomson Nature Park nearby.

Lentor Hills Condo . The Design

This land parcel is zoned for residential development, which will comprise a condominium with full communal facilities. However a minimum of 5,380 square feet has been set aside for an infant and childcare centre too. The centre is expected to accommodate up to 100 children, including infants. (This is in addition to the 10,000 square feet Early Childhood Development Centre at Lentor Modern next door.)

The site is not flat, but slopes uphill towards Hillock Park to its rear. This will make for some interesting landscaping and architectural features.

In fact the massing of Lentor Hills Residences is designed to relate sensitively to the natural topography of the site and the surrounding context.

To that end, the site features three zones:
. A low-rise zone of up to 8 storeys high, fronting Lentor Hills Road.
. A mid-rise zone of up to 16 storeys, including sky terrace, fronting the south-west green finger.
. A high-rise zone of 23 storeys, inclusive of sky terrace, fronting the north-eastern green finger and Hillock Park.

These differing building heights helps to capture and channel wind flows in the development, to cool it down.

The building façade utilises tropical design strategies to adapt to Singapore’s climate, for the comfort of its residents. It is well-articulated with a good balance of voids or windows vs walls, for visual porosity.

It will adopt elements of tropical architecture that help ward off the worst of the heat, such as window ledges, balconies, and vertical green walls. The double-volume sky terraces in the taller blocks also encourage wind flows, that help to cool the development as well.

Lentor Hills Residences is being developed by a consortium of two heavyweight property players in Singapore.

Intrepid Investments (a unit of Hong Leong Holdings) teamed up with TID (a tie-up of Hong Leong and Mitsui Fudosan) and sister company GuocoLand for this venture. They submitted the top bid of SGD$586.6 million to acquire the GLS site. Perhaps because GuocoLand already has a stake in this upcoming estate, as they are developing Lentor Modern next door.

It is evident they intend to leverage on that. In its press release, Hong Leong Holdings said, “We are pleased to achieve the highest bid for Lentor Hills Road Parcel A”, before adding, “We plan to build a 600-unit residential development where residents will benefit from the convenience of amenities nearby.”

Having Lentor MRT station across the road “will add to the site’s overall appeal to buyers.”

Hong Leong Holdings (“Hong Leong” or the “Group”)

Intrepid Investments is a subsidiary of Hong Leong Holdings Limited.

Hong Leong’s first foray into the real estate business started in the late 1960s. That was when it consolidated its property investments and interests as Hong Leong Holdings.

Today it is one of the biggest and most trusted residential developers in Singapore. Over the years it has earned a reputation for efficient layouts and quality products. The Group also holds over 8 million square feet of lettable office, industrial, retail, and residential space.

In the course of the last 60 years, Hong Leong has contributed much to the Singapore skyline. It is a market leader, having built over 100 mixed-used and commercial projects, and more than 130 residential developments.

The Avenir by Guocoland & Hong Leong

Among its many past developments are Grange Heights, Sage, and One Balmoral in the Orchard Road area, The Tate Residences, One Shenton, The Residences at W Singapore, Atria and Aalto at Meyer Road, and Watermark at Robertson Quay.

Hong Leong is also currently building Avenir at River Valley and Midtown Modern at Bugis in conjunction with GuocoLand, as well as Amber Park and Midwood.

TID Pte Ltd (“TID”)

TID is a collaboration between Hong Leong Group and Mitsui Fudosan Co Ltd, a leading real estate company in Japan. It was incorporated in 1972.

The partnership’s strength lies in its ability to offer better solutions, by combining Japanese management expertise with the Hong Leong team’s vast experience. It seeks to incorporate architectural fineness together with quality and creativity into its projects.

Jovell by TID + Hong Leong

In its past 50 years in Singapore, TID has helped build more than 35 residential, and some commercial developments.

These include the exclusive Oceanfront @ Sentosa Cove, Nathan Suites, Forest Woods, Goodwood Gardens, and more recently the Jovell and Piermont Grand. It is at present developing one-North Eden at Buona Vista as well.

TID also undertook a number of other projects with CDL, another sister company of Hong Leong. Amongst these are the St. Regis Singapore Hotel & Residences, Parc Emily, the Scala, MeyeRise at Meyer Road, and Bartley Ridge. St Regis Hotel took the 2009 “FIABCI Prix d’Excellence” award for the hotel category.

About GuocoLand Limited (“GuocoLand” or “The Group”)

GuocoLand is a public company that listed on the SGX in 1978. It is headquartered in Singapore.

The Group’s (and its subsidiaries’) primary business is in property development, investment, and management, as well as hotel management. They cover a range of commercial, retail, residential, and mixed developments, and hospitality projects.

Besides Singapore, GuocoLand has operations in China and Malaysia, and with partners in Australia and the UK. In Malaysia for instance, it is involved in commercial and integrated developments, and even townships.

Martin Modern at River Valley by GuocoLand

Locally, GuocoLand has completed over 36 residential developments alone, adding more than 10,000 homes to the Singapore housing market. GuocoLand is especially known for its focus on premium products and prime locations.

What is likely less well-known, is the Group’s growing experience and expertise in mixed or integrated developments. Guoco Tower, a landmark $3.2 billion integrated development at Tanjong Pagar Centre, is perhaps the most high profile of them. Standing over 280 metres high, it is currently the tallest building in Singapore. It houses Grade A offices, lifestyle F&B and retail space, the 5-star hotel Sofitel Singapore City Centre, and Wallich Residence’s luxury apartments.

But coming up now are also Guoco Midtown, Midtown Bay, and the latest, Lentor Modern next door to Lentor Hills Residence.

GuocoLand has amassed a portfolio of properties, including in major Chinese cities like Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Tianjin. As of 31 December 2021, GuocoLand Group’s total assets amounted to around $11.3 billion.

An Award-Winning Developer

One of GuocoLand’s top priorities is sustainability and eco-friendliness. Indeed several of its projects have earned the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark Awards. Among these are Martin Modern, Goodwood Residence, Wallich Residence, Paterson Residence, Leedon Residence, Sophia Residence, Elliot at East Coast, and the upcoming Midtown Modern and Midtown Bay.
