Lentor Hills Road New Launch 2026 — The Complete Buyer’s Guide

Reading Time: 5 minutes

Lentor Hills Road has become Singapore’s most active new launch corridor over the past three years. Multiple projects have launched in rapid succession along this single stretch of District 26, each selling out quickly and reinforcing the area’s reputation as one of the most in-demand residential addresses in the Outside Central Region (OCR). If you are looking at a new launch in Lentor in 2026, you are entering a market with a strong track record, a clear identity, and genuine long-term fundamentals. This guide covers everything you need to know before registering your interest.

Lentor Hills Road — Location Overview

Lentor Hills Road sits within District 26, in the Upper Thomson and Yio Chu Kang planning area. The corridor is defined by its adjacency to nature reserves and low-density landed housing estates — a combination that creates a tranquil residential environment rare for a development zone actively receiving new GLS (Government Land Sales) sites.

The area’s connectivity was transformed with the opening of the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL). The Anderson-Caldecott MRT station (TE9) serves the Lentor corridor directly, with one-stop access to Caldecott (interchange to Circle Line) and three stops to Stevens (interchange to Downtown Line). Orchard Road is accessible within 15–20 minutes by train, making Lentor significantly more connected than its leafy, suburban character might suggest.

The surrounding streetscape features mature trees, nature corridors, and the Lower Peirce Reservoir — providing unblocked greenery views from upper floors of most Lentor developments that are difficult to replicate elsewhere in Singapore.

Lentor Hills Road GLS History: What Has Launched

The Lentor corridor’s development history reads as a consistent success story for both developers and buyers:

• Lentor Modern (2022) — Developed by GuocoLand, Lentor Modern was the first major new launch along Lentor Hills Road. As an integrated development directly above Lentor MRT, it set the benchmark for the corridor. The project was approximately 84% sold on launch day and reached over 95% take-up within weeks. PSF ranged from approximately $1,800 to $2,100 at launch.
• Lentor Hills Residences (2023) — A joint venture between Hong Leong Holdings, Guocoland, and TID Pte Ltd. The project sold around 70% on launch day across its 598-unit inventory. A more park-facing, mid-density offering compared to the integrated Lentor Modern.
• Lentor Mansion (2024) — Developed by GuocoLand and Hong Leong Holdings, Lentor Mansion launched 530 units and achieved strong take-up — over 80% sold within the first month. PSF by launch time had risen to the $2,000–$2,300 range, reflecting the corridor’s cumulative price appreciation.

Each successive launch along Lentor Hills Road has been absorbed quickly by the market, establishing a strong price support base that subsequent projects can reference.

Why Lentor Commands Premium Pricing Despite OCR Location

New launch condos in the OCR typically trade at a PSF discount to RCR and CCR projects. Lentor Hills Road is a partial exception to this rule, and the reasons are structural:

• MRT integration and TEL connectivity: Direct MRT access at Lentor station eliminates the accessibility penalty that typically weighs on OCR pricing. TEL connects efficiently to the city and Changi Airport.
• Nature premium: Unblocked greenery views from lower-density sites adjacent to Central Catchment Nature Reserve carry a genuine scarcity value. These views cannot be replicated in denser neighbourhoods.
• Low supply of competing product: The immediate neighbourhood is predominantly landed housing, not competing high-rise inventory. Lentor new launches have very little resale HDB competition to suppress pricing.
• Strong developer brand concentration: GuocoLand’s consistent presence has maintained quality standards and brand cachet for the corridor as a whole.
• Proven resale trajectory: Early Lentor Modern buyers are already sitting on meaningful paper gains relative to launch price, reinforcing buyer confidence in subsequent projects.

Upcoming Lentor Hills Road GLS Sites in 2026

The URA has continued to release GLS sites along the Lentor Hills Road corridor as part of the Government’s commitment to meeting new housing demand in the area. In 2026, buyers should watch for:

• Lentor Gardens and adjacent parcels — URA’s confirmed land supply pipeline includes additional Lentor-area sites earmarked for private residential development. Tender awarded sites in 2025 are expected to reach showflat and launch stage in 2026.
• Competing tender bids — Land cost for Lentor-area sites has risen with each successive tender, reflecting developer confidence. Higher land bids translate directly to higher launch PSF, meaning 2026 launches may open at $2,200–$2,500 PSF depending on site size and configuration.

Registering interest early gives you access to VVIP preview slots, floor plan previews, and indicative pricing before public launch queues form.

School Proximity and Family Appeal

Lentor Hills Road’s family appeal is anchored by its school catchment. Within 1–2 km of the corridor:

• Anderson Primary School — A consistently popular primary school, proximity to which has historically supported property values in the area.
• CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’ School — Within the 2 km school registration radius, relevant for families with daughters in the primary school admission system.
• Presbyterian High School — A well-regarded secondary school within accessible distance.
• Anderson Serangoon Junior College (ASRJC) — Located in the broader Ang Mo Kio/Yio Chu Kang area, relevant for JC-bound students.

The combination of quality schools, low-density surroundings, and MRT connectivity makes Lentor one of the most family-friendly new launch corridors in Singapore’s current pipeline.

Price Analysis: Lentor vs Surrounding Districts

To contextualise Lentor Hills Road pricing, it helps to benchmark against comparable new launch locations:

• Lentor (District 26): New launch PSF approximately $2,000–$2,400 (2024–2026 range). OCR classification with effective MRT access and nature views.
• Ang Mo Kio / Bishan (District 20): Comparable new launches in the $1,900–$2,300 PSF range. More urban environment, less greenery premium.
• Woodlands / Sembawang (District 25/27): $1,500–$1,900 PSF for new launches. Greater distance from city and less established school network.
• Serangoon / Kovan (District 19): $1,800–$2,200 PSF. Similar OCR positioning with Circle Line access.

Lentor’s PSF sits at the upper end of OCR but is supported by genuine differentiators. For buyers comparing on a pure price-per-square-foot basis, ensure you are accounting for the TEL connectivity, nature view premium, and school proximity in your analysis.
