Kingsford's entry into the Lentor corridor bids $920 psf/ppr on a GFA-harmonised site. The price is defensible. The developer tier is the question. Here is the full 7-layer analysis.
Lentor Gardens Residences is the newest benchmark in the Lentor corridor. By leveraging GFA harmonisation, this Kingsford project offers more liveable space than older neighbouring condos. We break down the math on the true cost per liveable sqft and why this matters for your 2026 investment.
Chuan Park sold at $2,586 psf — but its floor area includes AC ledges and voids because it is pre-GFA harmonisation. Chuan Grove launches harmonised in 2026. At D19 PSF, the real difference per unit is $80,000 to $181,000.
