Faber Residence, priced from $1.29 million, will be the first new condominium launch within Clementi’s prime Faber Hills estate in more than 10 years. The 399-unit project by GuocoLand in partnership with Hong Leong Holdings and TID (a joint venture between Hong Leong Group and Mitsui Fudosan) will preview on Oct 3, with the launch scheduled for Oct 18.
The 277,663 sq ft, 99-year leasehold site at Faber Walk was clinched in a government land tender last November for $349.858 million, or $900 psf per plot ratio (ppr). The site attracted just three bids, with GuocoLand and its partners submitting the top offer.
Fronting the Ulu Pandan River, the project is nestled within the Faber Hills landed housing estate, off Jalan Lempeng and Clementi Avenue 6. “It may be an unknown location for many Singaporeans, but it is a very attractive residential area tucked in a quiet corner of the Clementi district,” says GuocoLand CEO Cheng Hsing Yao.

Within Faber Hills, there are only two other riverfront condo parcels with a plot ratio of 1.4 — both already developed. The 360-unit Faber Crest was launched in the late 1990s and completed in 2001, while Waterfront @ Faber, with 199 condos and 11 strata-landed houses, was launched in 2014 and completed in 2017. Both are also sitting on 99-year leasehold sites.
Access to Faber Residence will be via a private street — Faber Walk — which only serves Faber Residence and the neighbouring condo. “It’s a pleasant drive into the estate, which is lined largely with semi-detached and detached homes,” notes Dora Chng, residential director at GuocoLand. “Today, the entry price for a semi-detached house at Faber Hills is around $6.5 million.”

According to Cheng, the design draws inspiration from both its riverfront setting and its position within a landed estate. “We wanted to extend the landed housing feel into the development,” he says. “Residents will also enjoy direct access to the park connector.”
The façade features warm, earthy tones that blend seamlessly with lush landscaping, which includes over 140 plant species, many of which are native to the riverbank. About 25% of the units enjoy direct views of the river and park connector.
GuocoLand worked with project architect P&T Consultants and landscape architect Ortus Design to introduce two inner layers of open spaces and views. The first layer is a series of three swimming pools - a wading pool, a leisure pool and a 50m lap pool — which together create the impression of a seamless 100m-long water feature. The second layer is a landscaped boulevard with 18 courtyards, gardens and lawns.

“These spaces provide a diverse range of experiences for residents, whether they want to relax, explore, take part in community activities, or enjoy the facilities,” Cheng adds.

Faber Residence comprises 399 units across nine five-storey blocks:

To complement the resort-style concept, the interior designer for the project — ipli Architecture — chose light-toned vinyl timber flooring, paired with darker timber finishes for the door frames, kitchen cabinetry and wardrobes. Each unit is fitted with full Smeg kitchen appliances, including a washer-dryer.
From the main entrance, the driveway leads directly to a grand basement lobby, with each block having its own lobby access. Every unit is allocated one parking space, with 13 EV charging stations and ample bicycle racks provided.
Three side gates provide residents with convenient access: one leads to the bus stop along the Ayer Rajah Expressway, another opens out to the park connector by the river, and the third leads to the future Jurong Town Hall MRT Station on the Jurong Region Line, approximately 800m away.
The project is scheduled for completion in 2029, while the Jurong Region Line is expected to open in phases between 2027 and 2029.

Families will appreciate being close to top schools, including Nan Hua Primary School (within 1km) and Pei Tong Primary, as well as Nan Hua High, NUS High School of Math and Science, Singapore Polytechnic and the National University of Singapore — all just a short distance away.
International educational institutions in the area include the Integrated International School, the International Community School and the Japanese School Singapore.
The site is also located near employment clusters under the URA Master Plan: the International Business Park, the upcoming Jurong Lake District (Singapore’s second CBD), the one-north R&D precinct and the future Greater Southern Waterfront.
Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA Singapore, notes that since the launch of Waterfront @ Faber in 2014, no new condominium projects have been introduced in Faber Hills. The long hiatus, he adds, could translate into pent-up demand for private homes in the enclave.
Faber Residence’s low-density design aligns with URA’s objective of preserving the character of low-rise estates, particularly given the ecological considerations along Sungei Ulu Pandan. “Lower plot ratios help prevent congestion and overloading of smaller roads within a landed housing estate,” says Kelvin Fong, CEO of PropNex.
According to Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia, significant changes are underway in the neighbourhood and will continue over the next few years. These include the upcoming Jurong Town Hall MRT Station and the Old Jurong Line Nature Trail next to Faber Residence, which will connect to Bukit Timah as part of the Rail Corridor and eventually link to Jurong Lake Gardens and the Coast-to-Coast Southern Trail.
Nearby, along Clementi Avenue 6 at Jalan Lempeng, is Parc Clematis, a redevelopment of the former Park West condo with 1,468 units. Launched in August 2019 at an average of $2,147 psf, Parc Clematis achieved a record-high of $2,618 psf in August 2025 when a three-bedroom unit changed hands for $2.818 million. With Parc Clematis now transacting above $2,600 psf, Faber Residence’s launch pricing from under $2,000 psf offers buyers a significant entry-point advantage, notes Yip.
Previously, The Trilinq — a 775-unit, 99-year leasehold condo at Jalan Lempeng beside Nan Hua Primary — was launched in March 2013 at an average price of $1,443 psf, based on caveats lodged during its first month of sales. The 99-year leasehold project was completed in 2017. Its most recent resale was for a 936 sq ft, three-bedroom unit that fetched $1.9 million ($2,029 psf) in June, according to caveats lodged.
Another future development site is the current Clementi Police Divisional Headquarters at Jalan Lempeng. Under the 2019 Master Plan, it was zoned “Residential” with a plot ratio of 1.4. In the Draft Master Plan 2025, this was revised upward to 2.1, allowing a maximum building height of 24 storeys. “The higher plot ratio may be due to its location fronting the main road, Commonwealth Avenue West,” says ERA’s Chu.
Further down, beside the Clementi Haven HDB precinct, lies another parcel zoned residential with a higher plot ratio of 2.8 and a maximum building height of 36 storeys. However, Yip points out that this site is not considered part of the exclusive Faber Hills enclave.
At West Coast Vale, three private condos were rolled out within three years — the 752-unit Parc Riviera (2016), the 520-unit Twin Vew (2018), and the 716-unit Whistler Grand (2018). They have since been sold out. “With limited unsold new housing stock in this area, demand for Faber Residence should be fairly healthy,” says Fong of PropNex.
SRI’s head of research, Mohan Sandrasegeran, expects pent-up demand, citing the lack of new private supply in this part of Clementi. “Surrounded by landed homes and greenery, the riverside setting offers a lifestyle that hasn’t been available for years,” he says. “Buyers who missed out on earlier projects such as Waterfront @ Faber or Parc Riviera now have a rare opportunity to enter the market.”
He also anticipates strong upgrader demand, as Clementi remains one of the most active HDB resale towns. In the first eight months of 2025 alone, the town chalked up about $67 million in transactions. According to Sandrasegeran, it reflects a pool of financially able households in Clementi who are well-positioned to upgrade to the private market.
PropNex’s Fong adds that upgrader demand could also come from Jurong and other western districts. According to HDB data as of September, the average resale price of a four-room flat near Faber Residence was about $807,000 in the first nine months of 2025, while five-room flats averaged $959,000.
Meanwhile, new private launch prices in Clementi have climbed nearly 20% — from $2,126 psf in 2024 to $2,548 psf in the first eight months of 2025. More than 130 transactions have already crossed $2,600 psf.
“With starting prices from $1,995 psf, Faber Residence offers buyers an attractive value proposition in a mature, well-connected estate,” adds Sandrasegeran.
Huttons expects Faber Residence’s buyer profile to mirror that of Elta, a 520-unit, 99-year leasehold project at Clementi Avenue 1. Launched in February, 65% of the units were sold on the first weekend at an average price of $2,537 psf. At Elta, 30% of buyers had HDB addresses and 50% had private addresses, notes Yip.
Nearly half the buyers at Elta were aged 30-39, PropNex’s Fong observes. He expects Faber Residence to attract a similar young family profile, given its pricing and proximity to schools.
Faber Residence’s proximity to tertiary institutions and employment clusters such as International Business Park, one-north and Jurong Lake District, is also likely to attract investors targeting rental demand, says PropNex’s Fong.
ERA’s Chu, however, anticipates that Faber Residence’s buyer profile will be more diverse and will include singles, couples and retirees. “Those who grew up in Faber Hills may want to buy a home near their parents, while retirees may choose to cash out of their landed houses and right-size to a riverfront condo,” he says.
Unlike Elta’s 39-storey high-rise located closer to HDB estates, Faber Residence offers a low-rise setting within a private enclave — appealing to buyers seeking space and tranquillity. As the only OCR launch in 4Q2025, Faber Residence is expected to stand out, he adds.
