Q1 2025: All Launches Smash Records—Unlock the Secrets to Singapore’s Top Condo Deals!

The Orie: Toa Payoh’s Comeback Star

Kicking off the year, The Orie in Toa Payoh made waves with an 86% take-up rate during its January 18 launch weekend, selling 668 of its 777 units.

Priced at an average of S$2,734 psf, this 99-year leasehold development drew around 8,000 visitors to its preview, reflecting pent-up demand in a mature estate that hadn’t seen a new launch since Gem Residences in 2015. Its prime location—just a 5-minute walk from Braddell MRT—and proximity to top schools like CHIJ Primary Toa Payoh and Pei Chun Public School make it a magnet for families.

Investors, meanwhile, are eyeing its potential for appreciation, given its competitive pricing in the Rest of Central Region (RCR) at around S$2,400 psf. With units starting at S$1.28 million for a 1-bedroom + study (517 sqft), The Orie offers a compelling entry point for both own-stay buyers and rental-focused investors.

Bagnall Haus: Freehold Rarity in the East

Next up, Bagnall Haus in District 16’s Upper East Coast launched on the same weekend, achieving a solid 72% take-up rate with 81 of its 113 units sold. This freehold low-rise project, averaging S$2,400 psf, attracted 1,500 preview visitors, primarily east-side families and upgraders. Starting at S$1.2 million for a 1-bedroom + flexi (495 sqft), its appeal lies in its rarity—the first freehold condo launch in the area in nearly 15 years—coupled with proximity to the upcoming Sungei Bedok MRT Interchange (TEL/DTL, due 2028). For investors, the freehold tenure and evolving Bayshore precinct signal long-term value, while own-stay buyers appreciate nearby schools like Temasek Primary and recreational hubs like Bedok Food Court.

Parktown Residence: Tampines’ Mega Success

In February, Parktown Residence emerged as Q1’s largest launch, with 1,041 of its 1,193 units (87%) snapped up at an average of S$2,360 psf.

This 99-year leasehold integrated development in Tampines North offers a lifestyle edge with direct access to PARKTOWN Tampines mall, a bus interchange, and the upcoming Tampines North MRT (CRL). Units range from 1-bedroom + study to 5-bedroom layouts, catering to diverse buyers—from young professionals to multi-generational families.

Priced competitively for the Outside Central Region (OCR), it’s a standout for own-stay buyers seeking convenience and investors banking on Tampines’ growth as a regional hub.

Elta: Clementi’s Family-Friendly Hit

Also in February, Elta in Clementi saw 326 of its 501 units (65%) sold at an average of S$2,537 psf. Positioned between the successful Clavon and Clement Canopy, this 99-year leasehold project targets families with proximity to schools like Nan Hua High and NUS High, plus connectivity to Clementi MRT via buses.

Starting prices hover around S$2,500 psf, reflecting its premium location in the OCR. The unblocked views and over 50 resort-style facilities across two 39-storey towers are a draw for own-stay buyers. At the same time, investors note its rental potential near educational and employment hubs like NUS and Singapore Polytechnic.

Aurea: CCR’s Modest but Promising Start

Lentor Central Residences: OCR’s Shining Star

Closing Q1 with a bang, Lentor Central Residences in Lentor Hills achieved a stellar 93% take-up rate, selling 445 of its 477 units at an average of S$2,200 psf on March 8-9. This 99-year leasehold project benefits from its proximity to Lentor MRT (TEL) and Lentor Modern’s commercial offerings, plus lush surroundings like Lentor Hillock Park. Priced competitively for the OCR, starting at S$975,000, it’s a hit with own-stay buyers seeking greenery and connectivity, and investors riding the wave of Lentor’s rapid development (over 86% of 2,477 units across five prior launches sold). Schools like Anderson Primary add family appeal, while its pricing offers room for growth.

Unlock the Secrets Behind the Success

Q1 2025 has showcased a robust appetite for new launches, with OCR projects like Lentor Central Residences and Parktown Residence leading the charge, alongside RCR’s The Orie and freehold gem Bagnall Haus. CCR’s Aurea, though starting more slowly, hints at untapped potential for patient investors. Key trends driving this success include proximity to MRT stations, access to reputable schools, and integrated amenities, with competitive pricing (S$2,200–S$2,734 psf in OCR/RCR) fueling demand. For own-stay buyers, these launches deliver modern living with future-proof connectivity, while investors can tap into rental yields and capital appreciation, especially in evolving precincts like Tampines North and Lentor.
