Lentor Gardens Residences vs Lentor Mansion 2026: How the Launch Data Compares
Both projects have now launched, so this comparison can rely on sales data rather than estimates. Lentor Mansion has already demonstrated its market pull (fully sold, about 75% on launch weekend). Lentor Gardens Residences launched on 18 July 2026 and sold 54% of its 499 units on launch day at an average of about $2,350 psf, according to the developer (reported by EdgeProp), reaching 62.5% (312 of 499 units) by 16 October 2026, based on URA REALIS caveats.
Both projects sit on Lentor Gardens in Lentor Hills' District 26 precinct, share the same MRT line, and are positioned for family buyers. Their development stages, unit offerings and completion dates differ. This guide compares every factor that matters.

Project Overview: Two Years of Track Record vs a Fresh Launch
Lentor Mansion: The Proven Performer
Lentor Mansion launched in March 2024 and is now fully sold: URA REALIS caveats cover all 533 units, with the last developer sale in November 2025. This joint venture between GuocoLand and Hong Leong Holdings demonstrated extraordinary market demand—75% of units sold on launch weekend alone. The project is currently under construction with a target TOP in 2028.
Lentor Gardens Residences: Launched July 2026
Lentor Gardens Residences, developed by Kingsford Group (developer entity: Kingsford Lentor Project Pte Ltd), launched on 18 July 2026 after a preview on 4–5 July that drew about 5,000 visitors. It has 499 residential units (496 apartments and 3 strata terraces) at 66–80 Lentor Gardens, on a 99-year lease from 7 July 2025. The developer reported 270 units sold on launch day (54%) at an average of about $2,350 psf; URA developer sales data put it at about 61% sold as at September 2026, and URA REALIS caveats at 62.5% by 16 October 2026. The developer brochure gives expected vacant possession by 31 December 2030.
It is the seventh launched project in Lentor Hills but not the last: the Lentor Central site, won by a GuocoLand, Hong Leong Holdings and TID joint venture in March 2026, is expected to launch in 1H 2027 (see our Lentor Central site page for launch updates).
Key Difference: Lentor Mansion is sold out and completed (keys from October 2026), so buying there now means a resale; Lentor Gardens still has developer units, but vacant possession is not expected until December 2030.

Pricing: Actual and Reported
Lentor Mansion: Developer-Sale Prices (Actual)
| Unit Type | Lowest Transacted | PSF Range |
|---|---|---|
| 2BR | S$1,137,000 | $2,156–$2,476 |
| 3BR | S$1,710,000 | $2,104–$2,450 |

| 5BR | S$3,170,000 | $2,125–$2,352 |
These are actual developer-sale prices from URA REALIS caveats (March 2024 to November 2025). No Lentor Mansion resales or sub-sales had been recorded as of October 2026.
Lentor Gardens Residences: Launch Pricing
The developer reported a launch-day average of about $2,350 psf across 270 units sold. Unit-type ranges below were reported by ReviewHomes from the 18 July 2026 price list:
| Unit Type | Size | Reported Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| 2BR Premium | 646–689 sqft | ~$1.41M–$1.68M |
| 2BR + Study | 732 sqft | ~$1.67M–$1.82M |
| 3BR Compact | 872–936 sqft | ~$1.90M–$2.28M |
| 3BR Premium | 969–1,012 sqft | ~$2.18M–$2.42M |
| 4BR | 1,184–1,356 sqft | ~$2.68M–$3.31M |
| Strata terrace (5BR) | 1,496 sqft | ~$3.52M (~$2,350 psf) |
Transacted ranges from URA REALIS caveats (to 16 October 2026) are similar: 2BR $1.41M–$1.86M, 3BR $1.90M–$2.42M and 4BR $2.69M–$3.34M, at an average of about $2,359 psf.
Key Insight: Lentor Gardens launched at about $2,350 psf, above Lentor Mansion's launch-weekend average of about $2,278 psf in March 2024 and the $2,125–$2,380 range of Mansion's last 12 months of developer sales. Lentor Mansion has no recorded resales yet, so there is no transacted evidence of its current resale value. The comparison is not like-for-like: Lentor Mansion buyers today pay a sub-sale price set by the seller for a project due about two years earlier, while Lentor Gardens buyers pay developer prices and wait until vacant possession, expected by 31 December 2030.
Unit Mix: Family Variety vs a Two-Bedroom-Led Mix
Lentor Mansion: Pure Family-Oriented
- 533 total units, 56 distinct floor plan types—the most design variety of any Lentor project
- Unit sizes: 2BR (527+ sqft) to rare 5BR (1,507 sqft)
- Zero 1-bedroom units—entirely family-centric
- 3BR, 4BR, and 5BR configurations dominate
Lentor Mansion's 56 floor plans mean exceptional flexibility for different family sizes and preferences. The rare 5-bedroom options are unique to this project in the entire precinct.
Lentor Gardens Residences: Confirmed Mix (Developer Brochure)
- 499 total units: 2BR 252 (50.5%), 3BR 139 (27.9%), 4BR 105 (21.0%) and 3 strata terraces
- Unit sizes: 2BR Premium from 646 sqft, 2BR + Study 732 sqft, 3BR 872–1,012 sqft, 4BR 1,184–1,356 sqft
- 3 strata terrace houses (5BR, 1,496 sqft) at 68, 70 and 72 Lentor Gardens; none sold on launch day
- No penthouses and no dual-key units
Launch-day demand was led by 3-bedroom units (42% of launch-day sales, against 40% for 2BR and 18% for 4BR), and the 3BR Compact types sold out on the day. With only three terraces, the landed-style component is a small part of the project rather than a defining feature.
Verdict: Lentor Mansion suits buyers who want maximum floor plan variety and larger family sizes, including 5BR apartments. Lentor Gardens has a higher share of 2-bedroom units, which suits couples, smaller families and buyers with a lower budget ceiling, alongside a smaller pool of 3BR and 4BR units.
Location & MRT: Same Precinct, Same Line
Both projects sit within the Lentor Hills precinct, served by the Thomson-East Coast Line (TE5):
| Metric | Lentor Mansion | Lentor Gardens |
|---|---|---|
| Nearest MRT | Lentor MRT (TE5) | Lentor MRT (TE5) |
| Distance | ~400m | Varies by block; check the route from your block |
| Walking Time | ~5 minutes | Varies by block |
| CBD travel (to Raffles Place) | ~18–20 minutes | ~18–20 minutes |
Nearby Amenities (Both Projects)
- Lentor Modern Mall (40+ shops, dining, cold storage)
- Ang Mo Kio Hub (10 minutes away)
- Thomson Nature Park & Lower Peirce Reservoir Park (recreation)
Verdict: Both projects are on Lentor Gardens and use the same station, so location is not a major differentiator. Walking times differ more between blocks within each project than between the two projects; check the route from the specific block you are considering.
School Proximity: Check the MOE SchoolFinder Tool
Lentor Mansion (Lentor Gardens Road):
- Anderson Primary: 0.7 km
- Presbyterian High: 1.0 km
- CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls': 1.1 km
- Mayflower Primary: 1.3 km
Lentor Gardens Residences (66–80 Lentor Gardens):
The same schools are in the vicinity, as both projects are on Lentor Gardens. Block addresses are now confirmed, so check the distance from your specific block with MOE SchoolFinder rather than relying on precinct-level estimates.
Verdict: Both projects are in the same school vicinity. Any difference comes down to the specific block, so verify before committing.
Amenities: Grand Clubhouse vs Long Waterscape and Sky Terraces
Lentor Mansion: Estate Living Philosophy
- Grand two-storey clubhouse (The Lentor Room, The Verandah, The Chamber)
- 50m lap pool + fun pool + jacuzzi (rare in Lentor)
- Tennis court, gymnasium, fitness park
- Forest swings, grand lawn, early childhood centre
- Forest-themed landscaping (Rainforest Grove, Fern Valley, Forest Trail)
- Spa with steam room—premium wellness feature
Lentor Mansion emphasizes recreational density and estate-scale entertaining. The two-storey clubhouse and dual pools make it stand out for active families.
Lentor Gardens Residences: Confirmed Facilities
According to the Stacked Homes review of the project:
- A waterscape of roughly 200m, including a 75m “Skyline” pool and a 50m lap pool
- Sky terraces and gardens on level 9 of Blocks 74, 76 and 78 (no units on that level)
- Tennis court
- Childcare centre at basement level
Verdict: Both projects offer a 50m lap pool, a tennis court and childcare provision. Lentor Mansion's distinctive features are its two-storey clubhouse, spa and forest-themed grounds; Lentor Gardens' are its long waterscape and the mid-level sky terraces. The choice depends on lifestyle priority.
Investment Outlook & Capital Appreciation
Lentor Mansion: Supply Scarcity Effect
- Fully sold within about 20 months (last developer sale November 2025) = demonstrated strong demand
- Limited resale inventory = supports price holding
- No resales or sub-sales recorded yet (URA REALIS, October 2026), so appreciation since launch is untested
- About 75% sold on launch weekend (398 of 533 caveats)
Lentor Gardens: Launch Demand on Record
- 54% sold on launch day and 62.5% by mid-October 2026, with 91% of launch-day buyers Singaporean
- 3BR Compact types sold out on launch day, signalling strongest demand for family layouts
- Land cost of $920 psf ppr against a launch-day average of about $2,350 psf
- No post-launch price history yet; the caveat average (~$2,359 psf by October 2026) is close to the launch average
Which Is a Better Investment?
- Lentor Mansion: Proven demand and scarcity, but no resale track record yet. Already completed, so no completion risk; entry is now only via resale.
- Lentor Gardens: Solid launch demand and developer pricing, but a later completion date and competing supply, including the Lentor Central site expected to launch in 1H 2027. Outcome depends on how the precinct performs through to 2030.
Neither is a guaranteed winner—it depends on your risk tolerance, holding period, and financing capacity.
Who Should Choose Lentor Mansion?
- Families prioritising supply scarcity — fully sold = proven demand; limited resale inventory supports price holding
- Buyers who want a longer price record — two years of transactions since launch to benchmark against
- Estate-living aspirants — Grand clubhouse and forest-themed grounds offer mansion-like experience in urban setting
- 5-bedroom seekers — Only project in Lentor offering rare 5BR units for multi-generational families
- Investors seeking capital appreciation — strong sales velocity (fully sold within about 20 months), though no resale gains are recorded yet
- Buyers who can't wait — Lentor Mansion is completed, with keys handed over from October 2026
Who Should Choose Lentor Gardens Residences?
- Buyers who prefer a developer unit — developer units remain after launch, bought on the standard progressive payment schedule rather than as a sub-sale
- Couples and smaller families — half the units are 2-bedroom, from about $1.41M (reported entry price)
- Patient buyers — vacant possession is expected by 31 December 2030, which suits buyers who do not need to move in soon
- Families who value large shared facilities — roughly 200m waterscape with 75m and 50m pools, sky terraces and a childcare centre
- Buyers who want a fresh launch on the same street — same precinct and MRT line as Lentor Mansion, at a launch-day average of about $2,350 psf

FAQ: Lentor Gardens vs. Lentor Mansion
A: Lentor Mansion has no recorded resales or sub-sales yet (URA REALIS caveats, October 2026), so its appreciation is untested: its developer sales averaged about $2,278 psf on launch weekend (March 2024) and ranged from $2,125 to $2,380 psf over its last 12 months of sales to November 2025. Lentor Gardens launched in July 2026 at an average of about $2,350 psf on launch day (developer, via EdgeProp), and URA REALIS caveats show an average of about $2,359 psf to 16 October 2026, so it has no meaningful post-launch price history yet. Appreciation will depend on precinct maturity, interest rates and competing supply, including the Lentor Central site expected to launch in 1H 2027. Neither is guaranteed.
A: Lentor Mansion is fully sold: URA REALIS caveats cover all 533 units, with the last developer sale on 15 November 2025. Your only option is a sub-sale unit from an existing buyer through a CEA-licensed agent (listings appear on portals such as PropertyGuru, EdgeProp and 99.co). No Lentor Mansion sub-sales had been lodged as of October 2026, so there is no transacted benchmark yet; compare asking prices against the developer-sale range of $2,104–$2,476 PSF.
A: Yes. Lentor Gardens sold 270 of 499 units (54%) on launch day on 18 July 2026, was about 61% sold as at September 2026 (URA developer sales data) and 62.5% sold (312 of 499 units) by 16 October 2026 (URA REALIS caveats). Developer units remain, though the 3BR Compact types sold out on launch day. A CEA-licensed agent can confirm current availability and arrange a viewing.
A: Anderson Primary is approximately 0.7km from Lentor Mansion, and both projects are on Lentor Gardens, but the MOE 1km priority zone is measured from your specific unit address. Both projects span large plots (400,000+ sqft for Lentor Mansion, about 222,161 sqft for Lentor Gardens), so distance varies by block. Always verify with MOE SchoolFinder using your intended unit address before committing.
A: Lentor Mansion, fully sold to its first buyers and completed in 2026 (keys from October 2026), will have a longer resale record. Lentor Gardens has no resale history yet; its vacant possession is expected by 31 December 2030, and until then any secondary trades would be sub-sales. With 499 units and a family-heavy mix, resale volume should build after completion, but proven track records (Lentor Mansion now) carry more weight than projections (Lentor Gardens later).
Choose Lentor Mansion if: you want a completed home now (TOP obtained in 2026), value the estate lifestyle and grand clubhouse, and can pay current sub-sale pricing.
Choose Lentor Gardens if: you prefer buying a developer unit on the progressive payment schedule, can wait for vacant possession by December 2030, and are comfortable with a launch-day average of about $2,350 psf.
The Verdict
Lentor Mansion is the safer, proven choice—demand is verified, amenities are distinctive, and supply scarcity provides price support. If you prioritise certainty and estate-style living, Lentor Mansion's sell-out is your confidence signal.
Lentor Gardens Residences has now shown solid demand of its own: 54% sold on launch day and 62.5% by mid-October 2026. It suits buyers who want a developer unit, particularly a 2-bedroom, and can wait for vacant possession by the end of 2030. Choice among the remaining units is narrower than at launch, especially for 3-bedroom layouts.
Both are District 26 family projects on the same street. Your choice hinges on timing, budget, unit type and how you prefer to buy (developer unit or sub-sale)—not on fundamental project quality.
