Is Lentor Gardens Residences The Real First-Mover In Lentor, Despite Being The 7th Launch?

First-mover advantage is about the entry price, not the launch order. The guide prices are out, and on the cheapest land of the lot they land at the estate's established level, below its newest sub-sales.

TL;DR

Booking day is done: Lentor Gardens Residences sold 270 of its 499 homes on 18 July 2026, at an average of $2,360 psf. The final list starts at exactly the $2,050 psf we worked out from the land cost in June, on a $1,412,300 ground-floor 2-bedroom whose neighbour one floor up asked $177,000 more. Three-bedrooms were the most popular choice of the day. We hold the score at 8 out of 10 and read the 46 per cent balance as pacing: Kingsford tends to raise prices in steps, and the newest Lentor land numbers point higher.

Lentor Gardens Residences is the seventh and final new launch in the Lentor Hills estate, and it sits on the cheapest land of the lot. Kingsford paid $920 per square foot per plot ratio for the 222,161 sqft site, the lowest land cost of any of the seven projects that have launched here since 2022. Booking day was 18 July 2026, and 270 of the 499 homes sold: 54 per cent, at prices from $1,412,300 and an average of $2,360 psf.

That ordering is unusual. The normal pattern is that the first project into an estate buys the cheapest land, launches at the lowest price, and watches everyone after it pay more. Here the last project in holds the lowest land cost. With the final price list and the booking-day results in, this Lentor Gardens Residences review can put real numbers on what that is worth to you.

Where this stands · Updated 21 July 2026 with booking-day results and the final price list
Land (2025): $920 psf ppr, 99-year lease. The lowest land cost of the seven Lentor Hills projects.
Floor plans (Jul 2026): official plans out. 2 to 4-bedroom apartments, 646 to 1,356 sqft, plus three 1,496 sqft strata terraces. Full walk-through below.
Launch prices (18 Jul 2026): from $2,050 psf ($1,412,300), average $2,360 psf. The final list opened exactly where our June land cost workings pointed.
Booking day (18 Jul 2026): 270 of 499 homes sold, 54 per cent. Three-bedrooms were the most popular choice; the three strata terraces did not sell.
Our read: 8 out of 10. Price scores 1 of 2: a fair entry at the estate's established level, below its newest sub-sales, but not below its past launches.
We update this box as each layer of the launch lands. One article, built up over time.

Who is building Lentor Gardens Residences?

Kingsford Development secured the site with a top bid of $429.23 million, or $920 psf ppr. That land cost is the centre of the whole case, so it is worth being clear about what it does and does not mean.

A lower land cost is a starting point, not a finished price. It is the base the developer builds up from, before construction, financing and margin get layered on. It does not promise a cheaper launch, and it is not a knock on any of the projects that came before, each of which answers to its own pricing. What it gives Kingsford is room to price at the established Lentor level without stretching past what it paid for the land.

One honest flag on the developer. Kingsford is a less familiar name in this estate than the GuocoLand and Hong Leong partnerships behind most of the other Lentor projects. We have been to the showflat and been through the full plan set, and the layouts resolve well, the 1,001 sqft 3-bedroom especially. The finish quality is the one thing left to judge in person before you commit.

Where is Lentor Gardens Residences, and what is nearby?

The site is on Lentor Gardens, the same stretch that holds Lentor Mansion, in District 26. Lentor MRT (TE5) on the Thomson-East Coast Line is roughly 500m away, a six to eight minute walk depending on your block. The site sits at the end of the Lentor Gardens cul-de-sac, a step beyond the projects that ring the station. The developer has applied for a side gate through Hillock Park that would shorten the route, though approval was still pending at launch. Judge the walk on today's path, not the promised one. That is walking distance rather than the lift-lobby integration Lentor Modern offers, but it puts you one stop from the wider line without needing a car for the commute.

The schools are a genuine draw. Anderson Primary School, Mayflower Primary School and CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' School all sit within roughly 1 to 2km in the established Ang Mo Kio area. If Primary 1 registration is part of your plan, confirm the exact distance on OneMap before you rely on it, since the catchment lines matter at the 1km and 2km thresholds and they are not something to eyeball. For a resale route into the same school belt, The Panorama on Ang Mo Kio Avenue 2 is the comparison we have already written up.

The estate itself has changed faster than almost anywhere else in Singapore over the past three years. Six projects and close to 3,000 homes have come up around the station since Lentor Modern broke ground, and the retail arrived this year. Lentor Modern Mall opened in January 2026 with more than 40 stores across 96,000 sqft, anchored by a CS Fresh supermarket and around two dozen food and beverage outlets. The dining runs as individual restaurants and cafes rather than a food court, so for hawker prices you are still heading to the older coffee shops on the Ang Mo Kio side. The mall's full crowd only arrives as the surrounding projects complete and collect their keys. A buyer at Lentor Gardens Residences is not betting on a greenfield promise. The transformation is largely already here.

How big is Lentor Gardens Residences?

The plot is 222,161 sqft, holding 499 homes across three 16-storey blocks and one 8-storey block, plus three shops at basement level. That works out to roughly 445 sqft of land per unit, in line with the rest of the Lentor projects rather than unusually tight or unusually generous. Parking runs at an 80 per cent provision, typical for a launch of this size. Not every home comes with a lot, so check against your household's cars before you book.

The official mix runs from 646 sqft 2-bedrooms to 1,356 sqft 4-bedrooms, plus three two-storey strata terrace houses at 1,496 sqft, the only landed strata homes among the seven Lentor Hills projects. A development this size gives you full facilities and steady resale liquidity later, since there are always units changing hands to set a visible price record. The trade-off, as with any larger project, is more neighbours sharing the deck. Whether that reads as lively or busy is a matter of preference, not a mark against the exit.

Common-room sizes, kitchen format and how much of each unit is balcony are what separate a real family 3-bedroom from a compact one. The official plans are out, and we walk through every layout further down.

What does the land cost tell you about Lentor Gardens Residences pricing?

Here is the land cost in context, against the two most recent Lentor launches.

Project Land secured Land cost (psf ppr)
Lentor Gardens Residences 2025 $920
Lentor Central Residences 2024 $982
Lentor Mansion 2023 $985

Source: URA GLS tender results and EdgeProp.

A rough rule for turning land cost into a launch price is to multiply by about 2.2 to cover construction, financing and margin. Applied to $920 psf ppr, that pointed to a starting reference near $2,050 psf. The final price list starts at exactly that number: the first unit on it, a 689 sqft ground-floor 2-bedroom, went on sale at $1,412,300, which is $2,050 psf to the dollar.

The average is a different matter. At $2,360 psf across the full list, it sits a step above where the last two launches sold, on land that cost 7 per cent less. The land cost gave Kingsford room to undercut the estate; the final list shows they chose to price at it instead. Where the room shows up is at the entry end: a 2-bedroom from $1,412,300 and an 872 sqft 3-bedroom from $1,896,400.

Lentor Gardens Residences price: what the final list shows

When this Lentor Gardens Residences review first ran in June, we put a prediction on record so you could hold us to it: a launch price near $2,200 to $2,300 psf, a 3-bedroom band of $2.2M to $2.5M, and the 1,001 sqft 3-bedroom around $2.3M. Here is how it landed. The 1,001 sqft units launched between $2,252,400 and $2,422,600, with the middle of the band right around our $2.3M call. The average, at $2,360 psf, came in a step above the top of our range. Close on the unit prices, slightly under on the average, and exact on the entry number: the list opens at the $2,050 psf the land cost pointed to.

The full launch list, by unit family:

Unit type Size Units Launch price range
2-bedroom 646 sqft 15 $1,521,000 – $1,611,400
2-bedroom (larger types) 678–689 sqft 90 $1,412,300 – $1,678,900
2-bedroom + study 732 sqft 147 $1,666,700 – $1,822,600
3-bedroom compact 872–936 sqft 30 $1,896,400 – $2,275,700
3-bedroom premium 969–1,012 sqft 109 $2,177,800 – $2,422,600
4-bedroom 1,184–1,356 sqft 105 $2,684,300 – $3,309,300
Strata terrace 1,496 sqft 3 $3,515,600 ($2,350 psf)

Source: Lentor Gardens Residences price list, 18 July 2026. Prices on balance units can change as later phases are released.

One quirk in the list: the smallest 2-bedroom is not the cheapest. The 646 sqft type starts at $1,521,000 while the larger 678 to 689 sqft types start at $1,412,300, because the smaller unit sits on a single stack and pricing follows the stack and floor, not just the size. The same type also carries the highest psf in the project, $2,494 on its 15th floor. Within every band of the Lentor Gardens Residences price list, where the unit sits does more work than how big it is.

Here is where those prices land against the rest of the estate, at the 3-bedroom.

Project 3-bedroom at launch (new sale) Recent sub-sale level Type
Lentor Modern (2022) ~$2.21M median up to $2.49M New sale, then sub-sale
Lentor Hills Residences (2023) ~$2.14M median ~$2.18M New sale + early sub-sale
Hillock Green (2023) ~$2.18M median New sale
Lentoria (2024) ~$2.18M median New sale
Lentor Mansion (2024) ~$2.05M median New sale
Lentor Central Residences (2025) ~$2.19M median New sale
Lentor Gardens Residences (2026) $2.18M–$2.42M (969–1,012 sqft) not yet New sale

Source: URA transaction data. New launch prices are today's developer prices; when a project completes, its resale trades above the resale comparables of its launch year.

The sharper comparison is against what the estate's completed stock now costs. Lentor Modern's 732 sqft 2-bedrooms have sold as sub-sales at $1.86M to $1.90M over the past six months, or $2,541 to $2,596 psf. The same 732 sqft size at Lentor Gardens Residences launched at $1,666,700 to $1,822,600, the whole band below the estate's going rate for this exact size. At the 3-bedroom, a 990 sqft Lentor Modern unit sold for $2.49M in June 2026; the 1,001 sqft here launched from $2,252,400. To be fair on this comparison: Lentor Modern is newly completed and integrated with the MRT, and its sub-sale prices are for homes with keys nearly in hand. Lentor Gardens Residences completes around 2030. You are paying less, and part of what you are paying less for is the wait.

A newer Lentor-area land sale in 2026 went for $1,278 psf ppr, nearly 40 per cent above Kingsford's cost, which Knight Frank's Leonard Tay told Stacked Homes could translate to launches from around $2,700 psf. If launches do arrive near that level, today's $2,360 average will look cheap in hindsight. For the width of the area's current range, Bullion Park nearby trades as a freehold 3-bedroom resale around $1,520 psf: different product, different age, but it shows the spread a buyer in this catchment chooses within.

How did the Lentor Gardens Residences launch go?

Lentor Gardens Residences booking day sales tally showing 270 of 502 units sold and 232 available Source: developer sales tally, 18 July 2026

270 homes sold on booking day. The tally above reads 502 units and 53.78 per cent because it counts the three basement shops. Against the 499 homes this article has tracked from the start, 270 works out to 54 per cent, with 229 homes left.

By mid-afternoon the pattern was set. The 3-bedrooms, compact and premium alike, were the most popular choice of the day. The compact 4-bedrooms moved steadily. The three strata terraces at $3,515,600 had no takers on the day. The terrace section below covers why that fits the product.

Unit type Units Launch price range On the day
2-bedroom (646–732 sqft) 252 $1,412,300 – $1,822,600 Sales not broken out by type
3-bedroom (872–1,012 sqft) 139 $1,896,400 – $2,422,600 The most popular choice, across every type
4-bedroom (1,184–1,356 sqft) 105 $2,684,300 – $3,309,300 Steady movement in the compact types
Strata terrace (1,496 sqft) 3 $3,515,600 Unsold on booking day

Source: Lentor Gardens Residences price list and developer sales tally, 18 July 2026. 270 of 499 homes sold overall; a sold count by unit type has not been published.

A 54 per cent day-one result reads lukewarm if you keep score by sellouts. From where Kingsford sits, it is close to ideal. Selling 270 homes takes the financial pressure off the project early. And a developer who sells 90 per cent at launch has usually priced lower than the demand could bear. The result a developer actually wants is 60 to 70 per cent on day one, with the last third held back and released slowly at higher prices. That held-back stock is where most of the profit sits. Kingsford tends to raise prices in steps as a launch sells through, and 46 per cent in hand is exactly the stock that approach needs.

The estate has also already shown where the next reference price comes from. The 2026 Lentor-area land sale went for $1,278 psf ppr, nearly 40 per cent above Kingsford's $920, and Knight Frank's read, cited above, points to launches from around $2,700 psf on that land. If the next Lentor launch opens anywhere near that level, the 229 homes still priced off $920 land become the cheapest new stock in the estate, and we expect Kingsford to let that comparison do the selling.

The $177,000 floor jump in the Lentor Gardens Residences price list

With the full list out, unit by unit, you can see how it was built. Most floor-to-floor steps in the project are small: $6,500 to $13,500 from the ground floor to the second, and a median step of $7,400 across the whole list. Two units break that pattern completely.

The first is #01-13, the 689 sqft 2-bedroom that opened the list at $1,412,300, or $2,050 psf. The identical unit one floor up, #02-13, was priced at $1,589,300: $177,000 more for one floor, on the same stack, same layout, same 689 sqft. Its twin stack confirms it. Stack 16 carries the same unit type, its ground floor went on sale at $1,582,400, and from the second floor up stacks 13 and 16 are priced identically. The discount lives in exactly one unit.

The second is #01-28, the 872 sqft 3-bedroom compact at $1,896,400, the only 3-bedroom under $2M on the entire list. One floor up, the same layout asked $2,005,400: a $109,000 step.

Together the two jumps show how the advertised entry prices were built. The $1.41M 2-bedroom and the under-$2M 3-bedroom each existed as a single ground-floor unit, priced to go on day one. Everything else in those bands starts about $100,000 higher, so if you are shopping the balance, work from the band table above rather than the "from" prices in the launch marketing.

The list carries one more consistent pattern: the pool facing costs less than the park facing. Blocks 74, 76 and 78 each run two rows of stacks, one facing the central pools, the other facing north towards Hillock Park, where the site plan notes unblocked views beyond the park from the 10th floor up. Floor for floor, at the same size, the pool-facing stacks launched $10,900 to $14,700 below their park-facing counterparts in every block. The cleanest pair is the 1,001 sqft 3-bedroom in block 78: park-facing stack 35 costs $10,000 more than pool-facing stack 36 on all 15 floors. Block 66 runs its own version, with the lap-pool side of its 1,001 sqft 3-bedrooms priced $20,000 above the side facing Lentor Gardens the road. The one exception is the 1,184 sqft 4-bedroom in block 74, where both facings launched at the same number. If the reservoir view is not what you are paying for, the pool side is the same layout for less.

Which Lentor Gardens Residences units are in shortest supply?

Lentor Gardens Residences unit mix table showing 499 units by type and maintenance fees Source: Kingsford Development

Half the project is 2-bedroom stock: 252 of the 499 homes, and 147 of those are the same 732 sqft 2-bedroom + study. There are two ways to read that.

If you buy a 2-bedroom, you will not lack a price record. With 250-odd similar homes around you, someone is always selling, valuations stay easy to support, and the type stays easy to resell. The flip side is that when it is your turn to sell, the buyer viewing your unit has more directly comparable listings inside the same project to weigh against yours. Pricing your unit right matters more in this band than anywhere else in the mix.

Above the 2-bedroom band the counts thin out fast: 30 compact 3-bedrooms, 109 premium 3-bedrooms, 105 4-bedrooms, three terraces. Buyers backed the demand side of this on booking day, with the 3-bedrooms the most popular choice across every type. A family-sized unit here in the early 2030s will likely be one of a handful listed at any time, in an estate whose upgrader demand from Ang Mo Kio and Yishun keeps pointing at exactly that format. Scarcity within the project does not guarantee a price, but it does mean fewer direct comparisons sitting next to your listing when you sell.

Lentor Gardens Residences floor plans: what each layout gives you

Lentor Gardens Residences Singapore site plan showing four residential blocks, terraces, shops and unit type distribution Source: Kingsford Development

Four residential blocks sit around a central stretch of pools: three 16-storey blocks (74, 76 and 78) and one 8-storey block (66), with the three terrace houses and a tennis court along the Linear Park edge and the shops at basement one. The developer bills the main pool at close to 200m of connected swimming water. Block 66 is the low-rise corner, and it holds nothing but premium 3-bedrooms.

Two specs repeat across the whole plan set, so read them once here. Ceilings are 2.9m in every apartment, living areas and bedrooms both, which is above the usual 2.7m to 2.8m for mass-market launches. And every common bedroom in the project measures 8.3 to 9 sqm: a queen fits with little walking room, so these run best as kids' rooms, single-bed rooms or studies. One spec to catch before you sign: those common bedrooms do not come with built-in wardrobes. The plans draw wardrobes in the masters only, and the developer lists common-room wardrobes as an optional add-on rather than standard. Budget for a wardrobe in every bedroom beyond the master, and remember a freestanding one takes its share of that 8.3 to 9 sqm. These facts tell you who each layout suits faster than anything else on the drawings.

The 646 sqft 2-bedroom (type 2BR P1, 15 units)

Lentor Gardens Residences 646 sqft 2-bedroom floor plan, type 2BR P1 Source: Kingsford Development

Living, dining and kitchen share one 25.8 sqm open zone. The master is 15.8 sqm including its bath, the second bedroom 8.7 sqm, the balcony 4.7 sqm.

This is the project's smallest home, on a single stack of 15 units. The open kitchen keeps the living zone wide for the size, at the usual cost: cooking sits in your living room. Launched at $1,521,000 to $1,611,400, which starts above the larger 678 sqft types below and tops the project on psf, so check both before assuming smaller means cheaper.

The 678 sqft version runs a 23.1 sqm living-dining zone with a study nook, a separate 5.9 sqm kitchen, a 15.9 sqm master including bath and an 8.8 sqm second bedroom.

The extra 32 sqft over the entry type buys the thing you use every day: a kitchen with its own walls, plus a study corner off the living room. Launched at $1,412,300 to $1,678,900, the lowest starting prices in the project, and for a couple who actually cooks, it is the 2-bedroom we would view first. The 689 sqft P(HS) version adds a household shelter, which works as a store. One caution: the $1.41M entry was a single ground-floor unit, and the same layout one floor up asked $177,000 more.

The 732 sqft 2-bedroom + study (types 2BR S1–S6, 147 units)

Lentor Gardens Residences 732 sqft 2-bedroom plus study floor plan, type 2BR S1 Source: Kingsford Development

A 28.4 sqm living-dining zone with a study recess, an enclosed 5.2 sqm kitchen at the entry, a 15.5 sqm master including bath, an 8.8 sqm second bedroom and a 5.2 sqm balcony.

The most common home in the project at 147 units, and the type the showflat is built around. The study is a proper recess by the entry, deep enough for a desk, not just a shelf. Launched at $1,666,700 to $1,822,600. For the same 732 sqft, Lentor Modern sub-sales have sold at $1.86M to $1.90M in the past six months, so the whole band enters below the estate's going rate for this exact size, in exchange for the 2030 completion. Remember it is also the type you will share the resale market with most; the unit mix section above covers that trade.

The 872 and 936 sqft 3-bedroom compacts (types 3BR C1 and C2+S, 30 units)

Lentor Gardens Residences 936 sqft 3-bedroom compact plus study floor plan with enclosed kitchen, type 3BR C2+S Source: Kingsford Development

The 872 sqft C1 runs a 29.9 sqm living-dining, a 6.2 sqm open kitchen, a 17.4 sqm master including bath and two 8.5 sqm bedrooms. The 936 sqft C2+S closes the kitchen at 7.2 sqm and adds a real 4.2 sqm study room.

The list opened at $1,896,400 here, on the ground-floor unit that was the only 3-bedroom under $2M in the project. From the second floor the same layout started at $2,005,400, and the band ran to $2,275,700. Around $2M for three bedrooms, six to eight minutes on foot from Lentor MRT, is still the clearest starter-home entry in the estate. Go in with the bedroom sizes clear, though: the two 8.5 sqm common rooms take singles and a study naturally, not two queen beds. Only 30 of these exist, 15 of each type on one stack apiece, and the 3-bedrooms were the most popular pick on booking day, so check what is left before setting your heart on this band. Between the two, the 936 sqft version's enclosed kitchen and separate study make it the more complete family unit.

The 969–1,012 sqft 3-bedroom premiums (types 3BR P1+S to P6, 109 units)

Lentor Gardens Residences 1,001 sqft 3-bedroom premium floor plan with wet and dry kitchen, type 3BR P3 Source: Kingsford Development

The 1,001 sqft P3 carries a 34.4 sqm living-dining-dry-kitchen, a separate 7.6 sqm wet kitchen with a yard and its own WC, a 3.9 sqm household shelter, a 17.3 sqm master including bath and two 8.5 sqm bedrooms.

This is the unit we flagged from the draft plans in June, and the official version holds up. A wet-and-dry kitchen with a yard and WC behind it is the arrangement upgrader families ask for and rarely get at 1,001 sqft, and the household shelter works as a helper's room or a serious store. The 969 sqft P1+S versions keep the wet-and-dry kitchen and shelter but trade the yard arrangement for a study nook off the living zone.

Launched at $2,177,800 to $2,422,600, with the 1,001 sqft versions from $2,252,400, right around our June $2.3M call. Against the $2.49M a 990 sqft Lentor Modern sub-sale fetched in June, you enter below the estate's completed benchmark for this size. If we could only pick one type in the project, it is still this one, and buyers agreed on booking day.

The 1,184–1,356 sqft 4-bedrooms (types 4BR C1/C2 and P1/P2, 105 units)

Lentor Gardens Residences 1,346 sqft 4-bedroom premium floor plan with junior master suite, type 4BR P2 Source: Kingsford Development

The 1,184 sqft compact runs a 38.6 sqm living-dining-dry-kitchen, a wet kitchen with an 8 sqm yard and WC, a household shelter, a 20.7 sqm master with a walk-in wardrobe and three bedrooms at 8.3 to 8.6 sqm. The 1,346 sqft premium adds a 12.9 sqm junior master with its own bath.

The compact 4-bedroom is the volume family unit: 60 homes across two types, with a master suite that genuinely feels like one. The premium's junior master is the multi-generation answer, a second en-suite for parents or an older child that the compact does not have. Launched at $2,684,300 to $3,309,300, and the compact types saw steady movement on booking day. With 105 four-bedders against 252 two-bedders, this is the band where you will have the fewest same-project listings beside yours when you eventually sell.

Here is where the 4-bedroom money sits against the rest of the estate.

Source: URA transaction data. New launch prices are today's developer prices; when a project completes, its resale trades above the resale comparables of its launch year.

The same 1,184 sqft four-bedroom opened about $316,000 cheaper at Lentor Central sixteen months earlier, so this is the band where the list steps furthest past the estate's earlier launches. The counterweight is the completed stock next door, which already trades through this entry. Lentor Modern's larger 3-bedrooms, smaller homes than these, have changed hands at $2.62 million to $2.80 million this year, and a 1,528 sqft 4-bedroom there went for $3.40 million as a sub-sale in February. At $2.68 million you enter below what the estate's completed family-sized homes already fetch, with a fourth bedroom in hand.

Two storeys plus a private roof terrace: five bedrooms in all, a 38.3 sqm living-dining-dry-kitchen and wet kitchen downstairs, a 23.2 sqm master suite upstairs, and bedrooms from 9.1 to 11.3 sqm.

Three exist, in their own row along the Linear Park edge, priced at $3,515,600, or $2,350 psf. They are the only landed strata homes among the seven Lentor Hills projects. With three in existence, a resale here will rarely have a same-project comparable, which cuts both ways: genuine rarity, and little to benchmark against when it is time to set a price. None of the three sold on booking day, which fits the product: the most expensive homes on the list, in a format whose buyer takes longer to commit than a family choosing between apartment stacks.

What is the exit case for Lentor Gardens Residences?

The exit case rests on three things the land cost has nothing to do with.

The first is the schools and the line. Anderson Primary, Mayflower Primary and CHIJ St Nicholas in the area give a permanent layer of family demand, and the Thomson-East Coast Line connects the estate without a car. Those do not fade with a supply cycle.

The second is its place in the launch order. This is the last of the seven projects priced off land bought under $1,000 psf ppr. The estate's next new launch comes from the newer Lentor Central site that a GuocoLand-led team won at $1,278 psf ppr this year, beside Lentor Modern Mall, and is expected around 2027. New-sale competition does return, but off land that cost nearly 40 per cent more. Buyers who want a new home on this stretch after the 229 balance homes sell through will be choosing between sub-sales and a launch priced off record land. That is the position a later seller wants to be in.

The third is the upgrader base. Ang Mo Kio and Yishun hold a deep pool of HDB households who move up within the same area they know, and Lentor is where that demand has been pointing. That is the engine that has lifted the earlier projects' resale.

Now the objection that everyone raises, and it is a fair one: the supply. The seven projects here total about 3,450 new homes, and 2026 to 2028 is likely to bring plenty of sub-sale and resale competition as the earlier projects finish. The answer is not to wave it away. It is to ask when you are selling. A buyer holding six to eight years is selling in 2032 to 2034, after the bulk of that supply has been absorbed, not into the middle of it. And your entry level works for you across that hold: at a $2,360 psf average today, against sub-sales already at $2,517 to $2,596 psf next door, you start below what the estate's completed homes sell for. That reference is no one-off either, with 37 sub-sales at Lentor Modern since September 2025. If Lentor prices keep drifting up the way the 2026 land bids point, the seller in 2033 is quoting from an entry set below today's resale.

Who is Lentor Gardens Residences not for?

If you need to sell inside five years, this is not the one. The four-year Seller's Stamp Duty window on a 2026 purchase runs to mid-2030, the near-term supply works against a quick flip on either side of it, and the case here is built on riding through the completion wave, not beating it.

If your household needs two full-sized double bedrooms beyond the master, the 8.5 sqm common rooms will feel tight, and that is a project-wide spec: no amount of stack-picking fixes it. The 4-bedroom premium's junior master is the one layout that answers this.

If you want the integrated, MRT-in-the-lift-lobby format, Lentor Modern already holds that position in this estate and Lentor Gardens Residences does not replicate it. A six to eight minute walk is close, but it is a walk, and the side gate that would shorten it is still a proposal. And if a proven builder is non-negotiable for you, Kingsford is a less established name here than the developers behind the neighbouring projects, so judge the finishes at the showflat before you commit.

Should you shortlist Lentor Gardens Residences now?

On the final price list, Lentor Gardens Residences scores 8 out of 10. Quality holds at 4 of 4: the cheapest land of the seven, a six to eight minute walk to Lentor MRT, 2.9m ceilings through the range, and family layouts that resolve well. Exit holds at 3 of 4: schools, the line and the last-launch position, set against a supply wave you have to hold through. Price scores 1 of 2: the $2,360 psf average sits at the estate's established level rather than below it, so this is a fair entry, not a discounted one. The score now rests on sold results: 270 homes went at these prices on 18 July.

Where we would start, by budget: the 678 to 689 sqft 2-bedrooms, launched from $1,412,300, for the enclosed kitchen at the lowest entry; the 872 to 936 sqft compacts if any of the 30 remain after the 3-bedroom rush; and the 1,001 sqft premium, launched from $2,252,400, as the pick of the project. Kingsford tends to raise prices in steps as a launch sells through, so the opening list is likely the cheapest this project will be, and the balance releases are where the next step up lands.

One number to carry into those balance releases: $2,300 psf. Under that line you sit within a step of the $2,181 to $2,245 psf medians the estate's last two launches sold their 3-bedrooms at, and about 10 per cent clear of the $2,517 to $2,596 psf that Lentor Modern's completed sub-sales now fetch. The opening list kept most bands under it: $1,896,400 ($2,175 psf) on the 872 sqft 3-bedroom, $2,252,400 ($2,250 psf) on the 1,001 sqft premium, $2,684,300 ($2,267 psf) on the 1,184 sqft 4-bedroom. Each stepped-up release that crosses $2,300 psf is spending the discount this land was bought at.

It is still the under-the-radar one in the estate, because most buyers read the supply headline and stop there. The supply is real. Half of it inside this project is 2-bedroom stock, which is exactly why the family-sized units, from the 936 sqft compact up, are the cleaner long hold. If a six to eight year hold fits your plans, the Lentor Gardens Residences condo belongs on your shortlist while the balance is still priced off the opening list, the same one-article treatment we are running on Thomson Reserve ahead of its October preview. Booking day is done: 270 of 499 homes sold, 229 remain, and the next move on price is Kingsford's.

The final list starts at exactly $2,050 psf and averages $2,360 psf, at the estate's established level, below its newest sub-sales. 270 of 499 homes sold on booking day, a pace that lets Kingsford raise prices on the balance.

Reader questions, answered

Should I buy at Lentor Gardens Residences?+
The launch prices land at the estate's established level: $2,360 psf on average, with 2-bedrooms from $1.41M and the 1,001 sqft 3-bedrooms from $2.25M. That is below what sub-sales at the newly completed Lentor Modern fetch, so the entry is fair rather than cheap. It suits a six to eight year hold; it does not suit anyone who needs to sell inside five years. With 270 of 499 homes sold on booking day, there is still stock to choose from, though Kingsford tends to raise prices as it releases the balance.
What is the price of Lentor Gardens Residences?+
The launch price list starts at $2,050 psf and averages $2,360 psf. By unit type: 2-bedrooms launched from $1,412,300, 2-bedroom + study from $1,666,700, the 872 sqft 3-bedroom from $1,896,400, the 969 to 1,012 sqft 3-bedrooms from $2,177,800, 4-bedrooms from $2,684,300, and the three strata terraces at $3,515,600. Prices on the balance units can move as Kingsford releases them in phases.
Which is the best unit at Lentor Gardens Residences?+
We would shortlist the 1,001 sqft 3-bedroom premium first: a wet-and-dry kitchen, a yard with its own WC, and a household shelter that can work as a helper's room, launched from $2,252,400. It was also the most popular band on booking day, so check what is left. Among the smaller units, the 678 to 689 sqft 2-bedrooms carry an enclosed kitchen and the lowest starting prices on the list.
Who is the developer of Lentor Gardens Residences?+
Kingsford Development, which placed the top bid of $429.23 million, or $920 psf ppr, for the site. Kingsford is a less familiar name here than the GuocoLand and Hong Leong teams behind most of the other Lentor projects, so the build quality and finishes are things to judge at the showflat rather than assume.
How many units does Lentor Gardens Residences have?+
499 homes across three 16-storey blocks and one 8-storey block: 252 two-bedroom units, 139 three-bedroom, 105 four-bedroom and three strata terrace houses, plus three shops. Half the project is 2-bedroom stock.
What floor plans does Lentor Gardens Residences offer?+
2-bedrooms at 646 to 689 sqft, 2-bedroom + study at 732 sqft, 3-bedroom compacts at 872 to 936 sqft, 3-bedroom premiums at 969 to 1,012 sqft, 4-bedrooms at 1,184 to 1,356 sqft, and three 1,496 sqft two-storey strata terraces. Ceilings are 2.9m throughout, and common bedrooms run 8.3 to 9 sqm across the project.
Does Lentor Gardens Residences come with built-in wardrobes?+
In the master bedrooms, yes — and the 4-bedroom masters get a walk-in wardrobe. The common bedrooms do not: wardrobes there are an optional add-on from the developer rather than standard. Budget for a wardrobe in every bedroom beyond the master, and remember the common rooms measure 8.3 to 9 sqm before you put one in.
What is the tenure of Lentor Gardens Residences?+
99-year leasehold, with the lease starting from 2026.
Is Lentor Gardens Residences near an MRT?+
Yes. Lentor MRT (TE5) on the Thomson-East Coast Line is roughly 500m away, a six to eight minute walk depending on your block, since the site sits at the end of the Lentor Gardens cul-de-sac. A proposed side gate through Hillock Park would shorten the route, but it was still awaiting approval at launch. It is not integrated into the development the way Lentor Modern is, but it is within walking distance.
When did Lentor Gardens Residences launch?+
Booking day was 18 July 2026, after a preview that ran from 4 to 15 July and e-balloting on 16 July. On the day, 270 of the 499 homes sold.
How many units did Lentor Gardens Residences sell on launch day?+
270 of the 499 homes, or 54 per cent, sold on the 18 July 2026 booking day. The 3-bedrooms of every type were the most popular choice, the compact 4-bedrooms moved steadily, and the three $3.52M strata terraces did not sell. That leaves 229 homes, which Kingsford is likely to release in phases at stepped-up prices.
How does Lentor Gardens Residences compare to the other Lentor condos?+
Its launch average of $2,360 psf sits a step above the 2024 and 2025 launches (Lentor Mansion and Lentor Central Residences sold their 3-bedrooms at roughly $2,181 to $2,245 psf median) and below sub-sale prices at the newly completed Lentor Modern, which reached $2,517 psf for a 3-bedroom in June 2026. It holds the lowest land cost of the seven Lentor Hills projects.
What schools are near Lentor Gardens Residences?+
Anderson Primary School, Mayflower Primary School and CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' School sit within roughly 1 to 2km in the established Ang Mo Kio area. Confirm the exact catchment distance on OneMap before relying on it for Primary 1 registration.
