If you are shopping the Lentor corridor in 2026, you are not choosing between one project and the open market. You are choosing your spot on a ladder that six launches have already built, rung by rung, on the same MRT stop. That is a rare situation. Most fringe districts give you one or two reference points. Lentor gives you a full transaction history across multiple developers, multiple price tiers, and a range of absorption speeds, all within walking distance of Lentor MRT. This guide lays the whole ladder out in one table, then reads what it actually means for a buyer deciding where to step on.

The full Lentor price and absorption ladder

Here is the complete picture. Seven launches share the Lentor corridor, six of them with a public launch record and the seventh, Lentor Gardens Residences, which launched 4 July 2026 and does not yet have a resale track record. A future eighth parcel, Lentor Central Plot 4, has had its land awarded but has not launched, so it sits at the foot of the table as a forward marker rather than a buyable option today.

Estimates from EdgeProp, 99.co and Stacked Homes reporting. Lentor Gardens Residences and Plot 4 figures are analyst projections made before official pricing was released.

What the ladder shows: prices have climbed

Read the launch PSF column top to bottom and the trend is plain. The corridor opened with Lentor Hills at roughly S$2,080 psf in 2023, and by the time Lentor Central Residences launched in March 2025 the going rate was around S$2,200. That is a climb of roughly six percent in launch pricing across the middle of the cycle, and it happened while the wider market absorbed multiple rounds of cooling measures. Lentor Mansion sits at the top of the launched set at approximately S$2,257, reflecting its larger, more premium GuocoLand positioning.

The lone outlier on the downside is Lentoria, which opened from approximately S$1,958. That lower entry tells you something useful: it was the corridor's value priced launch, and it is also the slowest absorber on the list, which is not a coincidence I will come back to. The headline, though, is that the Lentor price floor has firmed over four years rather than softened. That matters because it is the context any new launch, including Lentor Gardens Residences, has to be read against.

What the ladder shows: demand has been broad and real

Launch PSF only tells half the story. The take up column tells the other half, and it is the part that separates genuine demand from a developer simply setting an ambitious price. Across the six launched projects, absorption has been broad. Even Lentoria, the weakest weekend at about 19%, has worked its way to roughly 78% sold over time. Hillock Green, which had a soft 27.6% opening, is now around 93% sold. Nothing on this corridor has stalled as overhang.

At the strong end, the numbers are striking. Lentor Central Residences sold 445 of its 477 units, about 93%, in a single launch weekend in March 2025, and is now roughly 99.6% sold. Lentor Modern, the corridor's pioneer, cleared about 84% on its 2022 weekend and is fully sold. Lentor Hills moved 298 of 598 units on opening and has since reached roughly 99.7%, with only a couple of units reportedly left. Six launches now sit roughly 93 to 100% sold, and the buyer base across the corridor skews heavily to Singaporean end users, around 90% on the Lentor Central Residences profile, with low speculative or foreign presence. That is the profile of a neighbourhood people want to live in, not a trade.

Launch weekend versus the long game

One nuance worth holding onto: a soft launch weekend has not meant a failed project here. The table makes that explicit. Hillock Green and Lentoria both opened below 30% and both went on to clear most of their stock. What a strong launch weekend like Lentor Central Residences signals is pricing confidence and a deeper initial buyer pool, which can matter for early resale liquidity. What a slower start signals is usually price sensitivity or a less central plot, not weak fundamentals. For a buyer, the practical reading is that absorption speed tells you about pricing and competition at the time of launch, while the final sold through percentage tells you about the underlying demand. On both measures, the corridor reads well.

Why Lentoria absorbed more slowly

Lentoria deserves a specific note because its row looks like the odd one out. It launched at the same time as Lentor Mansion in March 2024, into a crowded moment, at a lower price point but with a smaller, less premium positioning. When two projects launch the same month on the same corridor, the larger, better located one tends to pull the early demand, and Lentor Mansion did. Lentoria's slower pace was a timing and competition outcome, not a verdict on Lentor itself. It still cleared most of its units, which actually reinforces how deep corridor demand runs.

Where Lentor Gardens Residences sits on the ladder

This is the question most readers arrive with, so let me be precise about what is known and what is not. Lentor Gardens Residences, by Kingsford, is the seventh launch and the only unsold new launch on the corridor. It previewed on 4 July 2026 and balloted on 18 July 2026. Its official launch PSF was released at that preview; WhatsApp me for the current figures. The analyst estimate band circulating before launch is approximately S$2,100 to S$2,350 psf, which would place it squarely in the middle of the existing ladder, but that is a projection, not a developer price, and nobody quoting an exact PSF before 4 July is doing anything other than guessing.

What is confirmed, and what makes Lentor Gardens genuinely different on the ladder, is land cost. Kingsford paid S$429.23m, approximately S$920 psf ppr, for the site. That is the lowest land cost in the entire Lentor precinct. Every other project on the corridor was built on more expensive land. Land cost sets the floor under a developer's pricing, so a lower basis gives Kingsford room to price competitively against neighbours who paid more. It is the clearest structural value argument on the whole ladder, and it rests on a public land bid rather than a sales pitch. The full breakdown is in the land cost advantage guide, and the pricing question specifically in the price guide.

The forward marker: Plot 4 and the 39% land gap

The last row of the table is the one that turns this from a backward looking comparison into a forward looking one. Lentor Central Plot 4, the next parcel to come, was awarded at S$1,278 psf ppr. Set that beside Lentor Gardens at S$920 psf ppr and the gap is roughly 39% more for the land on the very next project on this corridor. Analysts project Plot 4 could launch from around S$2,700 psf, again a projection rather than a confirmed figure.

For a buyer, the significance is about anchoring. If the next parcel on the same MRT line carries a land cost 39% higher, it sets a higher price anchor for the area as it comes to market. That is a structural argument for the corridor's pricing direction, not a guaranteed appreciation figure for any one unit, and I would never frame it as one. But it is the reason the land cost row matters as much as the launch PSF rows. The timing question that follows from it is covered in buy now or wait for Plot 4.

New launch versus resale on the same corridor

One practical consequence of the ladder is that most of these projects are no longer buyable as new launches at all. Lentor Modern is fully sold and has TOPed. Lentor Hills, Hillock Green and Lentor Central Residences are near sold out, which means buying into them now usually means a resale unit. That is not a downside. A resale unit in a near complete or completed project lets you see the actual home, assess the finish, and move in sooner, usually with a higher upfront cash outlay. Lentor Gardens Residences, by contrast, is the only path to a fresh 99 year leasehold, the latest layouts, and a progressive payment schedule that eases an upgrader's cash flow during construction, at a price you cannot confirm until 4 July. Which route fits depends on your timeline and cash position, a trade off I unpack in new launch versus resale in Lentor.

How to use this ladder as a buyer

The comparison is not there to crown a single winner. Different rungs suit different buyers, and the honest move is to match the project to the person.

• If you want a proven, move in ready home: the near sold out projects, Lentor Hills, Hillock Green or Lentor Central Residences via resale, let you see exactly what you are buying.
• If you want the newest home at the lowest land basis: Lentor Gardens Residences is the only new launch left, and its S$920 psf ppr land cost is the corridor's strongest value argument, pricing now released.
• If you are a north side HDB upgrader: the budget sweet spot of roughly S$1.4m to S$2.2m for a 2 to 3 bedroom maps cleanly onto the new launch, with progressive payments easing the upgrade cash flow gap. See the upgrader guide.
• If you are a yield focused investor: read the corridor with caution. Lentor Modern shows gross yields around 2.8 to 3.2%, and 400 plus units completing 2026 to 2029 will compress rents near TOP. This corridor is a capital and progression story, not a cashflow one.

For the head to head detail, the individual matchups go deeper than this single table can: Gardens versus Mansion and Gardens versus Central Residences are the two most asked, and the full Money, Timing & Safety review pulls everything together in the Lentor Gardens Residences review.

Among launched projects, Lentor Mansion had the highest average launch PSF at approximately S$2,257, followed by Lentor Central Residences at approximately S$2,200 and Hillock Green at approximately S$2,108. Lentoria had the lowest entry, from approximately S$1,958. All figures are reported launch averages, not current resale prices.

Which Lentor condo sold the fastest?

Lentor Central Residences had the strongest launch weekend, selling 445 of 477 units, about 93%, in March 2025, and is now roughly 99.6% sold. Lentor Modern sold about 84% on its launch weekend in 2022 and is fully sold. Lentoria was the slowest absorber, at about 19% on its launch weekend, and is roughly 78% sold.

How does Lentor Gardens Residences compare on price?

Lentor Gardens Residences released official pricing at launch; it previewed on 4 July 2026, with analyst estimates around S$2,100 to S$2,350 psf. What is confirmed is its land cost: Kingsford paid approximately S$920 psf ppr, the lowest in the corridor, versus S$1,278 psf ppr for the next parcel, Plot 4. That land basis is the value argument, and the released launch price is not published on this page; WhatsApp me for the current figures.

What does the Lentor price ladder tell a buyer?

The ladder shows launch PSF climbing from roughly S$2,080 in 2023 to about S$2,200 in 2025, with broad absorption across every project, so the corridor has proven, deep, end user demand rather than overhang. The forward signal is that the next parcel cost the developer 39% more for land, which sets a higher price anchor for the area. Lentor Gardens enters on the cheapest land but with pricing still to be confirmed.

Should I buy a new launch or a resale unit in Lentor?

It depends on timeline and cash flow. Near sold out projects like Lentor Hills, Hillock Green and Lentor Central Residences mostly trade through resale now, letting you see the actual home and move in sooner, usually with a higher upfront cash outlay. Lentor Gardens Residences is the only new launch left, offering a fresh 99 year lease and progressive payments, but at a price released 4 July 2026.
