Lentor Gardens Residences Buyer's Guide: Buying the Remaining Units (2026)

Lentor Gardens has launched and is more than half sold. This guide covers what is left, reported price bands, how the payment schedule runs to vacant possession in December 2030, and how to weigh a developer unit against sub-sale options elsewhere in Lentor.

Where Lentor Gardens Residences Stands Now

Kingsford Group launched Lentor Gardens Residences (66–80 Lentor Gardens, District 26) on 18 July 2026, after a showflat preview on 4–5 July. The project has 499 residential units: 496 apartments and 3 strata terrace houses, on a 99-year lease from 7 July 2025.

• Launch day: 270 of 499 units sold (54%) at an average of about $2,350 psf (developer figures, reported by EdgeProp)
• September 2026: about 61% sold (URA developer sales data, reported by TheFinance.sg)
• 16 October 2026: 62.5% sold, or 312 of 499 units, at an average of about $2,359 psf (URA REALIS caveats)
• Expected vacant possession: by 31 December 2030 (developer brochure)

In practical terms, buyers today are choosing from the 187 units without a caveat as of 16 October 2026 (499 units minus 312 caveats), not from a full launch inventory. For the full project fact file, see Lentor Gardens Residences: Key Facts After Launch.

Unit Mix and What Has Sold

The developer brochure lists the following mix. There are no penthouses and no dual-key units; the smallest units are 2-bedroom Premium types from 646 sq ft.

Total units are from the developer brochure (actual). “Left at 16 Oct 2026” is our calculation: brochure totals minus units with a new-sale caveat in URA REALIS, matched by floor area. Caveats can lag actual sales by a few weeks, so current availability may be lower.

Two points follow from the launch data. First, 3-bedroom units are nearly gone: the 3BR Compact types sold out on launch day, and only about 12 of the 109 3BR Premium units were left by mid-October. Second, most of the remaining stock is 2BR + Study (about 102 units) and 4BR Premium (about 32 units). If you need a 3-bedroom layout, ask early whether any remain and be prepared to compare against 4BR Compact units or sub-sale options.

Reported Price Bands

The ranges below were reported by ReviewHomes from the 18 July 2026 price list. They are reported figures, not developer quotes for any unit still available today.

The reported entry point was about $1.41M (around $2,050 psf) for a 2BR Premium unit, and the highest reported rate was about $2,494 psf for a 2BR P1 unit on the 15th floor. The highest transacted rate so far is about $2,540 psf, for a 15th-floor 2BR + Study unit sold in October 2026 (URA REALIS caveats).

Who a Remaining Unit Suits

Suits: Buyers Who Can Wait Until the End of 2030

Vacant possession is expected by 31 December 2030. Buyers who are not in a hurry to move, such as HDB upgraders who can stay put while the project is built, can spread their outlay over the construction period through progressive payments.

Suits: Families Who Want a New Project in Lentor Hills

About half the units are 3-bedroom or larger, and facilities reported by Stacked Homes include a waterscape of roughly 200m with a 75m “Skyline” pool and a 50m lap pool, sky terraces on level 9 of Blocks 74, 76 and 78, a tennis court and a basement childcare centre. Check primary school distances for your specific block with MOE SchoolFinder.

Less Suited: Buyers Who Need to Move In Soon

If you need a home within the next few years, completed or near-completed units in earlier Lentor projects, bought on the resale or sub-sale market, will usually fit better. See the comparison below.

Less Suited: Budgets Below About $1.4M

The lowest reported launch price was about $1.41M. Below that, look at smaller units in earlier Lentor launches or other districts.

Payment Timing to Vacant Possession (December 2030)

Developer sales of uncompleted private homes in Singapore generally follow the Normal Payment Scheme, a progressive schedule tied to construction stages. The standard stages are below; confirm the exact schedule in your Option to Purchase and Sale and Purchase Agreement.

The $1.67M figure is the low end of the reported 2BR + Study range and is used only to illustrate the arithmetic. Stamp duties are payable on top of the purchase price.

What This Means for Timing

• Upfront: 20% of the price (cash and/or CPF, subject to loan rules) within about 8 weeks of taking the Option, plus Buyer's Stamp Duty and any ABSD, which are generally due within 14 days of signing the Sale and Purchase Agreement
• During construction: the next 40% is drawn as each milestone is certified. The dates depend on actual construction progress, not on a fixed calendar. If a milestone has already been reached when you buy, that instalment falls due shortly after you sign
• At completion: the final 40% (TOP and completion stages) is tied to the end of construction. With vacant possession expected by 31 December 2030, plan for the largest instalments around that date
• Loan servicing: under progressive payments, a bank loan is disbursed stage by stage, so monthly repayments start small and rise as more of the loan is drawn

ABSD depends on your residency status and the number of properties you already own. See our ABSD & stamp duty explainer for Lentor Hills buyers and check current rates with IRAS before committing.

Developer Unit at Lentor Gardens vs a Sub-Sale Unit Elsewhere in Lentor

With seven launched projects in Lentor Hills, many buyers weigh a remaining Lentor Gardens unit against a sub-sale unit (an uncompleted unit resold by its first buyer) or a resale unit in an earlier launch such as Lentor Modern, Lentor Hills Residences, Hillock Green, Lentoria, Lentor Mansion or Lentor Central Residences. The main differences:

How to Compare Fairly

1. Match sizes and layouts. Compare psf only between units of similar size and bedroom count, since smaller units carry higher psf.
2. Use transacted data, not asking prices. Check recent URA caveats for both projects rather than listing prices.
3. Put the timeline in money terms. If you are paying rent while you wait, the extra years until December 2030 have a real cost; if you are not, progressive payments ease cash flow.
4. Model the cash flow. Work out the upfront cash and CPF needed for each option, including stamp duties.
5. Factor in competing supply. The next launch, on the Lentor Central site (a GuocoLand, Hong Leong Holdings and TID joint venture of about 530–550 units), is expected in 1H 2027. See our Lentor Central site page for launch updates.

Transaction Steps: Buying a Remaining Unit

Lentor Condos is an independent research site, not a property agent. We do not arrange viewings, register buyers or handle transactions. The steps below are carried out with a CEA-licensed agent, the developer and your own lawyer.

1. Engage a CEA-licensed agent. Check the agent's registration on the CEA public register. The agent can confirm current availability and prices for remaining units and arrange a viewing of the showflat.
2. Secure financing first. Get an in-principle loan approval from a bank and confirm how much CPF you can use, so you know your ceiling before choosing a unit.
3. Check the unit, not just the type. Ask for the floor plan, stack, facing and level of the specific unit, and check its block address with MOE SchoolFinder if school priority matters.
4. Take the Option to Purchase. Pay the 5% booking fee to the developer to receive the Option.
5. Appoint a conveyancing lawyer to review the Sale and Purchase Agreement.
6. Sign the Sale and Purchase Agreement within the period stated in the Option, and pay the remaining 15% within 8 weeks of the Option date.
7. Pay stamp duties (Buyer's Stamp Duty and any ABSD) by the IRAS deadline.
8. Meet progressive payments as the developer issues notices for each construction stage.
9. Take vacant possession, expected by 31 December 2030, and report defects within the defects liability period.
