Lentor Central GLS: 560‑Unit Residential Site Near Lentor MRT Sets New Land Benchmark
Introduction: Strong Developer Confidence in OCR Launch
The Lentor Central Government Land Sale (GLS) site in the Lentor Hills Estate is the latest residential plot to draw solid developer interest under the 2H 2025 GLS programme. Launched on 8 December 2025 and closed on 3 March 2026, the tender attracted five competitive bids, underlining ongoing confidence in Singapore’s Outside Central Region (OCR) residential market — particularly the growing Lentor neighbourhood.
This site adds to a series of launches that have transformed Lentor into a vibrant private housing enclave anchored by Lentor MRT (Thomson–East Coast Line) and new retail and community amenities nearby.

Location and Site Attributes
- Location: Lentor Central, District 26 (Ang Mo Kio Planning Area), Singapore
- Tenure: 99‑year leasehold
- Site Area: ~15,926 m²
- Max Permissible GFA: ~47,778 m²
- Estimated Units: ~560 residential units
The plot sits within walking distance of Lentor MRT station (Thomson–East Coast Line), providing seamless connectivity across Singapore — including direct access to the CBD and other major regions.
It also neighbours Lentor Modern mall and established educational institutions such as Anderson Primary School, Presbyterian High School, and CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School.
Strategic Location: Connectivity & Lifestyle Appeal
The Lentor Central GLS site benefits from strong transport and amenity access:
- Short walk to Lentor MRT (TEL) — connects to Woodlands, Orchard, Marina Bay, and more.
- Close to Lentor Modern mall and Lentor Hills Road retail cluster.
- Schools, dining, lifestyle, and park connectors nearby create a well‑rounded living environment.
Market Context: Record Land Rate & OCR Confidence
The top bid at ~S$1,278 psf ppr sets a new record land rate for a fully residential GLS site in Lentor, exceeding previous high bids such as the S$1,204 psf ppr fetched at the first Lentor Central GLS site in 2021.
Analysts attribute this strong pricing to healthy sales absorption in earlier launches, limited supply in the immediate vicinity, and ease of connectivity for residents — especially HDB upgraders and owners from mature estates like Ang Mo Kio and Yio Chu Kang seeking a transition into private housing.
Market commentary suggests that future launch prices for this new development could be around the mid‑$2,600 to $2,800 psf range or higher, supported by the strong land price and limited remaining new supply in the area.
Comparison With Nearby Launches: Lentor Gardens Residences & Lentoria
To provide further perspective, Lentor Central GLS can be benchmarked against recent suburban launches in the same precinct:
Lentor Gardens Residences and Lentoria offer 1‑ to 4‑bedroom units, with balance unit prices ranging from $2,413 to $2,788 psf (average $2,604 psf). These projects benefited from established amenities, MRT connectivity, and strong demand from HDB upgraders.
In comparison, the upcoming Lentor Central GLS — with estimated launch prices of ~$2,600–$2,800 psf — aligns closely with these benchmarks while offering a fresh supply and potentially upgraded layouts or integrated design.
