Tengah Garden Residences, the first private residential development with retail amenities in Tengah New Town, sold 853 units — or 99% of its total units — during the launch weekend of April 25-26, at an average price of $2,120 psf.
Jointly developed by Hong Leong Holdings, GuocoLand and CSC Land Group, the 99-year development is expected to obtain its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) in 2029.
The outstanding performance follows overwhelming interest, which attracted close to 2,000 groups of visitors during the two-week preview, which began on April 11. The project was also almost 2.3 times oversubscribed, with about 2,000 cheques received before the launch weekend.
The 99-year leasehold development is also the first private residential project in Tengah New Town to incorporate retail amenities, setting a new benchmark for integrated living in Singapore’s newest 700ha master-planned township.
Betsy Chng, head of sales and marketing at Hong Leong Holdings, says: “The strong response to Tengah Garden Residences reflects healthy buyer confidence in Tengah as an emerging residential precinct with long-term value. Buyers were drawn by the project’s attractive pricing across a broad spectrum, as well as its integrated amenities within a new growth area."
“We also observed strong demand from upgraders and right-sizers across nearby western estates such as Bukit Batok, Choa Chu Kang, Jurong East and West, and Bukit Panjang, reinforcing the appeal of a future-ready township with strong connectivity and long-term potential,” adds Chng.

Tengah Garden Residences is “the best-selling project by number of units since Parktown Residence [launched] in February 2025”, says Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia. “In terms of percentage, it is the best-selling project since Skye at Holland [launched] in October 2025.”
The units sold transacted from $980,000 for one-bedroom units, $1,110,000 for two-bedroom units, $1,588,000 for three-bedroom units and $2,288,000 for four-bedroom units.
The starting price of $980,000 “offers buyers the most attractive entry prices among private launches in the Outside Central Region (OCR) in 2026”, says Yip.

“The two-bedroom units start from $1,779 psf — which [sits] very close to the prices of some [of the] executive condominium (EC) units [launched] in 2026 — [and] is probably the most attractively priced private residential project in 2026,” adds Yip.
All unit types are sold out, with only 10 four-bedroom premium units (with yard) of 1,249 sqft and 1,259 sqft remaining. Units were transacted at prices ranging from $1,779 psf to $2,340 psf, "reflecting healthy buyer confidence across a broad pricing spectrum", notes a developer's joint statement.
Singaporeans accounted for 90% of purchasers, highlighting "strong local demand for well-located and thoughtfully designed homes", adds the developer.
Demand for Tengah Garden Residences is largely supported by “HDB upgraders from the West, particularly Bukit Batok, Jurong and Choa Chu Kang, as well as younger buyers seeking a more accessible entry into the private housing market”, says Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA Singapore.
“What stands out is that buyers are increasingly comfortable entering new townships early, as long as there is a clear development roadmap,” adds Chu. “The project also attracted younger buyers seeking to live near their parents in nearby estates such as Bukit Batok, Jurong and Choa Chu Kang, reflecting a growing preference for proximity to family while upgrading to private housing.”
“With limited new private home launches in the Western region this year, many buyers could have seized the opportunity to buy this project, which is in a highly convenient, up-and-coming new town,” says Justin Quek, deputy group CEO of Realion Group (OrangeTee & ETC).
Tengah Garden Residences also “benefits from its proximity to the future Hong Kah MRT Station on the Jurong Region Line (JRL), which is expected to enhance connectivity to key employment nodes such as the Jurong Innovation District, Nanyang Technological University and the Jurong Lake District,” says Mohan Sandrasegeran, head of research and data analytics of Singapore Realtors Inc. (SRI).
Beyond connectivity, Tengah New Town is home to educational institutions such as the upcoming Anglo-Chinese Primary School, Princess Elizabeth Primary School, Swiss Cottage Secondary School and Nanyang Technological University.
“Proximity to schools remains a key consideration for many homebuyers, particularly families planning for future enrolment,” adds Mohan.
