He also mentioned that Faber Residence is located in a rare enclave of riverfront and landed properties in Clementi, making it highly appealing to homeowners and investors.

Faber Residence is strategically located close to major business hubs like the International Business Park, one-north precinct and the upcoming Jurong Lake District. For educational options, it is within 1 km of Nan Hua Primary School, while other schools and institutions in the vicinity include Pei Tong Primary School, Clementi Town Secondary School, Singapore Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic and the National University of Singapore (NUS). The development is just a short walk from the future Jurong Town Hall MRT Station on the upcoming Jurong Region Line which is expected to be operational in 2028. Clementi MRT station on the East-West Line is just four bus stops away. When the future Cross Island Line (CRL) is completed in 2030, Clementi MRT Station will be an interchange.Residents can also look forward to having direct access to Ulu Pandan Park Connector which runs alongside Sungei Ulu Pandan within the Clementi Nature Corridor. The Rail Corridor and the future Clementi Nature Trail and Old Jurong Line Nature Trail are all within easy reach for residents.”Faber Residence also benefits from the mixed cluster of landed and HDB properties in the Faber Walk residential estate and the strong demand from HDB upgraders in Clementi and the surrounding areas,” says Lee Sze Teck, senior director of data analytics at Huttons Asia. Clementi’s Parc Clematis is located near Faber Residence, with 1,468 units. Its average price based on a compilation of caveats by EdgeProp Singapore is around $2,120 psf.While GuocoLand has a strong presence in China, its earnings have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the developer’s performance in Singapore has helped to drive its higher dividend payout. Eugene Lim, key executive officer at ERA Singapore, says there has been a great deal of positive sentiment in the new launch market and this is expected to continue in the next two months. He adds that each of the upcoming new projects will appeal to different types of buyers depending on their location.Close to Faber Residence is the 99-year leasehold Parc Clematis at Jalan Lempeng. The project, featuring 1,468 units, was launched in August 2019 with prices starting from $1,550 psf and is expected to be completed in 2023. Data from EdgeProp Singapore showed that the average price at Parc Clematis is at around $2,120 psf. Lim believes that the size and layout of the units at Faber Residence will be resonant with owner-occupiers, particularly young families and couples, due to its proximity to the landed estate where their parents may be residing. As the year draws to a close, Lim anticipates that demand for new launches will remain strong and this will likely lead to a spike in sales within the next two months. He concludes by saying that the upcoming new projects are all located in different areas and this will determine its appeal to different types of buyers.
