RESIDENTIAL sites at Lentor Central and Lentor Gardens have been released for sale by the Urban Redevelopment Authority on Wednesday (Apr 12) under the H1 2023 Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme.

The site at Lentor Central was launched under the confirmed list and is expected to yield about 475 homes.

It has an area of 14,703.2 square metres (158,000 sq ft) and a maximum gross floor area (GFA) of 41,169 sq m.

Lee Sze Teck, senior director, research at Huttons Asia, noted that the Lentor Central site is the sixth site in the Lentor precinct launched under the confirmed list. If all six sites are sold, the area could see an estimated 2,943 units completed over the next four to five years.

However, industry watchers do not think the site will attract many bidders, given the downtrend in the number of bids for sites in the area.

The site at Lentor Gardens launched for sale earlier this year received only one bid, made jointly by GuocoLand and Hong Leong Holdings’ Intrepid Investments. They placed a bid of S$486.8 million, or nearly S$985 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).

Independent property analyst Nicholas Mak thinks the low level of interest among developers for residential sites in that location is partly due to the potential glut of condo projects there.

“Hence, the number of bids for the confirmed list site at Lentor could attract up to three bids at best,” Mak added.

Huttons’ Lee concurred with Mak and expects the top bid to be between S$950 and S$1,050 psf ppr.

The tender for the Lentor Central site will close at noon on Sep 12, 2023.

Meanwhile, the residential site at Lentor Gardens is available for application under the reserve list.

With a site area of 20,640.8 sq m and a maximum GFA of 43,346 sq m, the plot is expected to yield 500 units.

Sites on the reserve list are put up for sale only if a developer’s indicated minimum price in his application is acceptable to the government.

Analysts do not expect the Lentor Gardens site to be triggered for sale.

GuocoLand and Intrepid Investments (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hong Leong Holdings), have been awarded the Lentor Gardens Government Land Sale (GLS) parcel. The tender for the 235,371 sq ft residential site closed on April 4, with the joint venture submitting the sole bid of $486.8 million, or $985 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr).

“We have a strong track record in creating high-end residential projects with innovative concepts,” says Cheng Hsing Yao, CEO of GuocoLand. "We have also demonstrated our capabilities in transforming and uplifting neighbourhoods through our developments, such as Guoco Tower for Tanjong Pagar and Guoco Midtown for the Beach Road-Bugis area. For the Lentor estate, we and our partners will position this new neighbourhood into a new premium residential estate with our various projects in the area.”

The Lentor Gardens site, which will be developed in partnership with Hong Leong Holdings, is GuocoLand’s third project in the Lentor Hills estate. Its mixed-use development Lentor Modern was the first new development to launch in the area, in September 2022. To date, it has seen 88% of its 605 units taken up at an average price of $2,104 psf.

In January 2022, a GLS site at Lentor Hills Road (Parcel A) was sold to GuocoLand, Intrepid Investments and TID Residential (a joint venture between Hong Leong Holdings and Mitsui Fudosan) for $586.6 million ($1,060 psf ppr). The 598-unit Lentor Hills Residences is expected to be launched soon.

Dora Chng, general manager (residential) at GuocoLand shares that the new development at Lentor Gardens will be a high-end residential project with around 530 units. “The development will comprise a combination of 8-storey blocks and 16-storey towers with sky terraces. More than 6,000 sq ft of childcare facilities will provide added convenience to families with young children,” she adds. It is expected to be ready for launch in 2H2024.

Meanwhile, Loke Kee Yeu, general manager (projects) at Hong Leong Holdings, notes Lentor estate’s “tremendous potential”. “We are pleased to once again partner GuocoLand in developing high quality and distinctive residential homes in this exciting and transformed area, following the development of Lentor Hills Residences which will be launched soon.”
