Chencharu Central puts a bus interchange, hawker centre and supermarket inside an 875-home Yishun condo, about 490m from Khatib MRT. The question is what that is worth over North Park Residences, which trades well below every launch estimate. Prices are not out.
Lentor Mansion is the only Lentor project with four- and five-bedroom homes, and keys are due in 2028. It sold out at $2,104 to $2,478 psf, so today you buy a sub-sale. Some sellers ask more than new units next door. Where the value is, who should skip it, and my ceiling.
AMO Residence gives Ang Mo Kio families a nearly finished home near Ai Tong and CHIJ St Nicholas. Resale averages about $2,524 psf, 20% above launch. Adjusted for floor area, that is more per liveable square foot than Thomson Reserve one stop away. When AMO still makes sense.
In late 2024, UOL Group, Singapore Land, and CapitaLand Development paid $810 million for the former Thomson View Condominium site 200 metres from Thomson Three, the largest en bloc since Chuan Park's $890 million deal in 2023, working out to $1,178 psf ppr.
District 26's landed and new-launch condo market has repriced meaningfully since the Thomson-East Coast Line opened Springleaf MRT Station, with the latest GLS land bid for Upper Thomson Road Parcel A coming in 17% above Springleaf Residence's land cost a year earlier.
Braddell View sells 1,700 sq ft homes for about $1.85 million, at around $1,057 psf, near Caldecott MRT. The catch is about 51 to 54 years left on the lease and an en bloc that drew no bids in 2019. What the new 70% rule changes, who should buy, and who should not.
Upper Thomson and Lentor both price in the same OCR band, roughly $2,100-$2,300 psf for typical units, on similar land costs ($905 psf ppr for Springleaf vs $920 for Lentor Gardens).
