Will another new launch in Lentor dilute public demand? Quite the opposite. Every previous launch in the area has seen overwhelming interest, and for good reason—Lentor is on the cusp of major growth and transformation. This spells significant capital appreciation for homes in the neighbourhood, making each new development a compelling prospect.
Enter Lentor Central Residences, an exciting upcoming project at Lentor Hills by Hong Leong Holdings, GuocoLand, and CSC Land Group. As the sixth and latest launch in the Lentor precinct—following Lentor Mansion, Lentoria, Hillock Green, Lentor Hills Residences, and Lentor Modern—it joins a lineup of projects that have all enjoyed high take-up rates since their respective launches.
Comprising two blocks with 1- to 4-bedroom units, Lentor Central Residences is set to capture plenty of attention. In this article, we take a deep dive into why this development is poised to make waves.

Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)
In this section, we analyse the indicative pricing of Lentor Central Residences in comparison to the average real-time market value of three nearby developments—Lentor Hills Residences, Hillock Green, and Lentor Modern. We then conduct a proprietary MOAT Analysis, assessing these projects using key performance metrics.
The indicative pricing of Lentor Central Residences places it at a competitive entry point relative to its neighbouring developments—Lentor Hills Residences, Hillock Green, and Lentor Modern. This follows the broader pricing trend observed in new launches within the Lentor area, where each successive development has been introduced at strategic price points to capture demand while maintaining market competitiveness.
A closer look at the real-time Price Per Square Foot (PSF) market value across various unit types indicates that Lentor Central Residences’ indicative pricing offers a more accessible entry point. In contrast, the neighbouring developments—Lentor Hills Residences, Hillock Green, and Lentor Modern—have already gone through a short window for capital appreciation since their respective launches.
1-Bedroom Units: An Entry-Level Option for Investors and Young Professionals
The indicative pricing of Lentor Central Residences’ 1-bedroom units is notably lower than its peers, which enhances its attractiveness to investors and young professionals looking for an affordable entry into the Lentor neighbourhood. Given that similar units in nearby developments have been well-received, this price positioning could support strong demand while leaving room for future capital appreciation.
2-Bedroom Units: Competitive Pricing for Young Families and Upgraders
Despite offering a comparable size range to Lentor Hills Residences, the 2-bedroom units at Lentor Central Residences have a lower PSF, making them a highly competitive option. This pricing strategy enhances its appeal, particularly for buyers seeking proximity to an MRT station and amenities while avoiding the higher price points seen in earlier Lentor launches.
3-Bedroom Units: A Mid-Sized Family Home with Growth Potential
Lentor Central Residences’ 3-bedroom units represent one of the most competitive offerings in the precinct, with an indicative PSF below $2,000, in contrast to its neighbours which have crossed this threshold. The more moderate pricing aligns with the expectations of upgraders transitioning from HDB flats, particularly those who prioritise affordability while securing a foothold in a fast-developing estate.
4-Bedroom Units: Value in Larger Format Homes
The 4-bedroom units at Lentor Central Residences present an attractive option for multi-generational families seeking larger living spaces within a new launch development at a palatable price point. With its PSF remaining the lowest among its peers, it is well-positioned to benefit from a spill-over effect, drawing interest from buyers who may have considered nearby projects but are now exploring alternative options within the Lentor precinct.
Key Observations and Market Implications
1. Lentor Central Residences is attractively priced within the Lentor central area based on its indicative PSF, presenting a compelling alternative to Lentor Hills Residences, Hillock Green, and Lentor Modern.
2. Strategic pricing has been applied across all unit types, with a clear focus on affordability without compromising on proximity to transport and amenities. This is expected to drive strong interest, particularly among HDB upgraders, first-time homeowners, and families looking for larger units.
3. The starting indicative PSF prices suggest strong potential for future appreciation, driven by rising demand for the Lentor area amid ongoing infrastructure improvements and transformation.
While final pricing remains subject to adjustments closer to launch, Lentor Central Residences is well-positioned to capture demand from a diverse pool of buyers, balancing affordability with long-term growth potential.
