Lentor Modern is an upcoming integrated development at Lentor Central, right beside and joined to Lentor MRT station. It forms the heart of a brand new township in a private landed enclave.
It will comprise a commercial component that includes a supermarket, a childcare centre, F&B outlets and shops, with a residential component, the Lentor Modern condo. The developer is GuocoLand Limited, one of Singapore’s top real estate developers, known for quality projects.
Lentor Central, and Lentor Modern, sit within the new Lentor Hills Estate. This will be part of a peaceful neighbourhood of predominantly low to mid rise condominiums, and landed homes.
It is also close by to parks, reservoirs, and nature reserves. Hence residents will get unblocked open views over the landed enclave, as well as of greenery in the surrounding.
View Looking North-North-East to Lower Seletar Reservoir Park
In fact the layout of the site capitalises on this. The three residential towers are strung out in a row and spaced apart, such that none of them overlook each other. And the units are orientated to maximise the landed views north-north-east to Lower Seletar Reservoir Park.

Lentor Modern Mixed Development . The Vision
GuocoLand will bring its signature expertise in mixed developments from city-centre projects like Wallich Residence, Midtown Bay, and Midtown Modern, to spearhead the transformation of the Lentor Hills area.
Mr Cheng Hsing Yao, GuocoLand Group’s Chief Executive Officer has set out their vision: “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.”

They will build a mixed-use development here, of three 25-storey towers, with a double-volume sky terrace in each tower. These will house 605 residential units of 1- to 4-bedroom apartments. 50% of the homes will face the unblocked landed view.
Below that will be two levels of retail space, spanning as much as 96,000 square feet.

As such, residents will enjoy the convenience of not just a 10,000 square feet childcare facility at their doorstep, but also a variety of shops and F&B options, including services, clinics, eateries, and a 12,000 square feet supermarket.

The whole development will link seamlessly with Lentor MRT station at the eastern corner of the site. In fact connectivity to public transport is a strong point here.
URA envisions this area as a pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood amidst lush greenery. The layout of the estate will incorporate new parks and green spaces, with safe access for cyclists & pedestrians.

A network of arterial roads and expressways serve this area. Such as the Central (CTE) and Seletar Expressways (SLE), along with the upcoming North-South Corridor or NSC.
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.

GuocoLand is targeting to launch the Lentor Modern condo for sale in 2022. Analysts expect the response to be fairly good, given the attributes of the site and its sheer convenience, and lack of new housing supply in the neighbourhood.
Artist’s Impression . Lentor Modern Grand Clubhouse and Bridge
The last new launch in the vicinity, that of The Calrose, was well over 15 years ago. There have been no new projects since The Calrose launched in 2005.
So there should be quite a bit of pent up demand from buyers. Some of this could come from the property owners of the surrounding landed housing estates, or their grown-up children. Or from HDB upgraders nearby, especially in the face of diminishing supply in the OCR (Outside Central Region) zone.

Lentor Modern Condo . The Design
The Lentor Modern condominium will sit above commercial retail space at the ground level, that is directly linked to Lentor MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL). This station just went operational in 2021.
Its location right beside this public transport node will allow residents seamless connectivity to major business centres. Such as Woodlands Regional Centre to the north, and the CBD (Central Business District) and Marina Bay Financial District to the south.
Lentor Modern Public Plaza at Lentor Central
The commercial space will house a supermarket, and an Early Childhood Development Centre. The rest of the space will likely be used for F&B outlets and restaurants, as well as retail shops, to cater to the daily needs of residents.
This development occupies the first, and the most strategically located, of the new land parcels here. It is envisioned as a gateway to the Lentor Hills Estate, and Hillock Park.
Hence the design will include a public plaza as well, meant to generate a sense of arrival and welcome to the estate and to Hillock Park. It will also ease access to and from public transport nodes such as bus stops, and the Lentor MRT station.
Lentor Modern Location Plan . Schematic of Neighbourhood
This site was once secondary forest, with a fresh water stream weaving through it. This “forest + stream” imagery has inspired the organic landscape design of Lentor Modern.
Lush tree groves will be planted at ground level around the site, to preserve the memory of the original forest. The 4th storey landscape deck will also be lushly planted, and will feature a 200 metre long stretch of water.
Lentor Modern Condo Harvest Pavilion
Garden pavilions, pool alcoves, and terraces will be positioned alongside the water features, as therapeutic greenery. These encourage residents to tap on nature for relaxation and enjoyment – in keeping with the theme here of “wellness with nature”. They offer respites for exercising or strolling, reading or yoga, glamping or gardening, or social interaction, whatever appeals.
Lentor Modern Design Concept Schematic
Set amidst the gardens and landscaping at the 4th level, will be three residential towers. Each comes with a sky terrace at the 14th floor, high up away from the noise and bustle below.
These will house the “quieter” areas, like little alcoves and corners for small group interactions, and even for work. They are also ideal for enjoying the views of the surrounding reservoirs and nature reserves.
Lentor Modern Pool and Landed Estate View
The façades of the towers will be designed with contrasting earth tones and provide sun-shading to the units. Screens on these façades will draw pixelated light into living spaces and balconies, evocative of sunlight filtering through forest canopies.

Amenities for Lentor Modern Condo
In addition to the residential apartments, there will be commercial and retail space. These will provide the following amenities to residents.
-
Early Childhood Development Centre covering over 10,000 square feet of space.
-
A supermarket occupying about 12,000 square feet of floor area.
-
Shops offering various goods and services totalling about 74,000 square feet. While the exact retail mix has not been finalised yet, allowable uses include for restaurants or cafes, commercial schools or tuition centres, medical and dental clinics, laundromat, fitness centres. Some of these will front the public spaces and covered walkways along Lentor Hills Road and Lentor Drive, and add to the vibrancy at street level.
But anything that could cause disturbance to residents and the neighbourhood, such as pubs, bars, massage parlours, night clubs, or karaoke lounges, are not allowed.
The design of the whole project will comprise a low-rise zone fronting Lentor Drive, and three 25-storey high-rise blocks.
URA has mandated that the whole commercial component, including its common areas, covered linkways, and pedestrian walkways, must be held under a single strata lot. This is important as a single owner is in a position to ensure the whole place is well-maintained, and there is a good balance of retail offerings.

Lentor Modern Condo Site Plan
The site for this project is a roughly rectangular, longish parcel of land that is tilted in a north-west / south-east direction.
It is bounded by Lentor Drive on its north-east boundary, Lentor Hills Road to its south-east, and Lentor Central on its other two sides.
Across Lentor Drive, one of its longer sides, is the fairly large Lentor Estate comprising low-rise landed housing. This freehold estate has been around for quite a while, and is not going away anytime soon. So units facing this side will get unblocked open views.
Lentor Modern Site Location . URA Plan for Lentor Hills Estate
On the other long side across Lentor Central to the south-west, and north-west too, is forested land at the moment. The future Hillock Park will be built here, but several new developments will surround the park.
Hence while the view on this side is currently unblocked, it will eventually be built up.

LENTOR MODERN PRICE BACKGROUND
The GLS (Government Land Sale) tender for this Lentor Central site was well contested. It closed on 21 July 2021 with nine bids. Possibly due to developers’ dwindling stock of unsold units, and also because this is one of the most attractive sites to come on the market.
As one industry expert said, “The response seen in this tender indicates developers’ strong confidence in the suburban residential market, which has been showing signs of pent-up demand amidst diminishing supply and lack of new launches in the OCR.”
The site measures 186,000 square feet (sq ft). Given its plot ratio of 3.5, the permissible build up is around 651,000 sq ft gross floor area. Of that, about 86,110 sq ft will be used as commercial space.
GuocoLand submitted the highest offer of SGD$784,113,000, just 4.5% higher than the 2nd highest bid.
Overall, the bid price works out to a land rate of $1,204 PSF PPR (per square foot per plot ratio).
After factoring in all the regulatory, financing, development and overhead costs, the break even works out to about $1,900 PSF. Unfortunately construction material and manpower costs have risen so much in recent years, that some skilled workers can cost three times what they used to.
However despite the higher price tag, this project is still expected to do well at its launch. One reason according to Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia is that, “It’s probably the best site in the 1H2021 GLS programme.”
Another reason is that, “The buoyant HDB resale market means there will be more HDB upgraders looking for options in the market and there are not many new mass market condo launches in 2022.”

Context of the Location . Click to Enlarge
-
Location. The Lentor Modern condo location is at Lentor Central in the Thomson area, seen as a mostly landed housing neighbourhood. It is also known for its close proximity to nature reserves, reservoirs, and parks.
Lentor Central is itself part of a new housing enclave, called Lentor Hills Estate. URA plans show that it will cover the currently forested ground between the landed homes of Teachers’ Estate and Lentor Estate. It will feature new roads like Lentor Hills Road and Lentor Gardens, and new parks like the Linear Park and Hillock Park.
-
Nearest MRT Station. Lentor Modern is right on the doorstep, and directly integrated with Lentor MRT station on the Thomson East Coast Line (TEL). This section of the TEL recently started operations in 2021.
As GuocoLand put it, this should allow residents convenient and “…immediate access to the Thomson-East Coast Line which takes people to Bukit Timah, Botanic Gardens, Orchard Road, Marina Bay all the way to East Coast.”
Direct Access to Lentor MRT Station on Thomson East Coast Line
In addition, the TEL connects to other major lines as well – the East-West line, North-South Line, North-East Line, Downtown Line, and Circle Line. Which covers over half the island.
-
F&B, Supermarkets, Shops, Banks. The nearest shopping and retail space here is right at its own doorstep, within the Lentor Modern location itself. Besides a childcare centre, it will have a supermarket, various F&B outlets, and shops at the ground level.
Other than that, residents can take a 10 minute walk to the wet market and neighbourhood shops of the HDB precinct down Ang Mo Kio Ave 4.
More serious shopping is available at Thomson Plaza at Upper Thomson MRT station. This is three stations down the TEL. Since it has covered access to the station as well, it is a pretty convenient option too.
-
Schools & Academic Institutions. One primary school within a 1 km radius of the Lentor Modern location is Anderson Primary School. CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’ School is just outside that, about 1.2km away.
Other schools within fairly easy reach include Catholic High at Bishan, and Ai Tong School at Thomson along the same MRT line. As well as Presbyterian High School, Raffles Institution, Raffles Girls’ School, Anderson Serangoon Junior College, and Nanyang Polytechnic.
-
Sports & Recreation Venues. This Lentor Central location is quite close to several nature reserves and parks. Such as Lower Peirce Reservoir Park, Lower Seletar Reservoir Park, Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, and the 50-hectare Thomson Nature Park.
Closer at hand, residents will have Hillock Park and Linear Park in the immediate vicinity. There is also the Yio Chu Kang Stadium & Sports Complex at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5, about 2 KM away.
With the current growing interest in wellness and nature, this proximity to our central water catchment area and such wide tracts of nature parks should appeal to buyers.
-
Accessibility. This location is relatively accessible to the major expressway network. It is within 7 minutes drive to both the Central Expressway (CTE) via Yio Chu Kang Road, as well as the Seletar Expressway via Lentor Avenue.
Once on the CTE, it should take roughly 30 to 35 minutes off-peak driving time to get to the CBD and Marina Bay. It is faster to Changi Airport – about a 20 minute drive.
