GuocoLand: We will be developing the site into a mixed-use development with three 25-storey towers of 600 residential units, with a double-volume sky terrace in each tower.
The 186,000 sq ft site has a gross floor area (GFA) of 651,007 sq ft. The ground floor will have 96,000 sq ft of commercial, F&B and retail space, including a supermarket and childcare facilities. The development will be integrated with the Lentor MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, which is already operational.
Lentor Modern is close to nature reserves and parks, including the 50ha Thomson Nature Park, Bishan Park and Upper Seletar as well as Lower Seletar Reservoir Park and Lower Peirce Reservoir Park. In future, residents will have access to two more parks, Hillock Park and Linear Park, both near the development at Lentor Central.
For families with school-going children, established schools in the vicinity include Anderson Primary School, CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’ School, Catholic High School and Raffles Institution. Lentor Modern is expected to be launched in September 2022
“At 25 storeys, the new development will be a new landmark for the Lentor area when it’s completed,” says Desmond Sim, CEO of Edmund Tie. “Given that the surrounding developments are low-rise, with predominantly landed homes and low-rise condominiums, future residents will be able to enjoy unique views of the surrounding nature reserves and parks.”
The 96,000 sq ft commercial podium will be a new catchment area for the residents in the enclave as well as for those working in the nearby Tagore Industrial estate, notes Sim. “It will have a well-rounded shopping crowd throughout the week, and not just the weekends. The bonus is that it could be another pit stop for those who go trekking at the Thomson Nature Park.”
