According to GuocoLand, the majority of buyers were Singaporeans and Permanent Residents, with most being owner-occupiers. Dora Chng, residential director of GuocoLand, attributed the high sales to the project’s attractive location with its riverfront setting, proximity to established schools, and direct access to the Ulu Pandan Park Connector.Faber Residence marks the final Outside Central Region (OCR) project of 2025, and its strong sales are a testament to the resilience of mass-market housing demand in Singapore, according to Kelvin Fong, CEO of PropNex. “We believe the sensitive pricing and the project’s location advantages played a key role in attracting buyers,” he says.The average price of $2,160 psf at Faber Residence is considered competitive, with many buyers seeing value in the development. Fong points out that new non-landed private homes in the OCR, excluding executive condominiums, have averaged around $2,275 psf this year, based on lodged caveats. The two-bedroom units at Faber Residence start from $1.28 million, while the three-bedroom units begin at about $1.57 million. Fong notes, “They sit squarely within the ‘sweet spot’ of under $2.5 million, a price range that appeals to many households. We observed that all 80 two-bedroom and 199 three-bedroom units were fully sold.”Mohan Sandrasegeran, head of research and data analytics at SRI, credits the impressive sales figures to the project’s competitive entry price, which was supported by favourable land costs. “The developers acquired the site at about $900 psf per plot ratio (ppr), significantly below other OCR plots such as Bayshore and Chuan Grove, which crossed the $1,300 psf ppr threshold,” he says. “This enabled them to offer a compelling price point for buyers seeking value in a mature, well-connected estate.”Read also: Penrith achieves 97% sales on launch day at an average price of over $2,800 psfAdvertisementAdvertisementMark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia, believes that the strong response to the project is not surprising, considering that Faber Residence is the first new project in the Faber Hills area since 2014. “It is probably the last plot of land offering waterfront living in Faber Hills,” he adds. Yip also notes that market sentiment remains positive, buoyed by lower interest rates, improving economic conditions, and a steady pipeline of affordably priced launches. He says, “The positive momentum in the property market has continued, driven by pent-up demand and ample liquidity.”Source: SRI Research and Data AnalyticsThe project’s proximity to Nan Hua Primary School, one of Singapore’s most sought-after schools located within 1km of the site, was another factor that attracted families to Faber Residence. Yip comments, “Beyond Nan Hua, Clementi’s education belt — spanning from primary to tertiary institutions — means families don’t have to move as their children grow up.” This is reflected in buyer trends, with compact two- and three-bedroom units being the most popular choices.Faber Residence also offers excellent connectivity, being within walking distance of the upcoming Jurong Town Hall MRT Station on the Jurong Region Line, and close to the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) and Pan-Island Expressway (PIE). Its close proximity to Singapore’s second CBD positions it to benefit from the government’s long-term transformation of the Jurong Lake District. “The location will appeal to professionals who value both convenience and connectivity,” says Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA Singapore.The success of the launch adds to a string of well-received OCR projects this year, indicating a renewed buyer confidence. According to SRI’s Sandrasegeran, 3,811 new private homes were sold in the first nine months of 2025, more than double the 1,952 units transacted in the same period last year. This positive trend is also seen in sales performance for Faber Residence, with the strong response from buyers.
