Springleaf Residence.
The brief
Springleaf Residence occupies 811-821 Upper Thomson Road in District 26, 941 units across five new towers and 32 conserved heritage blocks, with a 100m sheltered link to Springleaf MRT on the Thomson-East Coast Line. Launched 16 August 2025 by GuocoLand and Hong Leong Holdings.
Pricing. PSF from $1,995 to $2,263 at launch. Entry from $878,000 for a 1-bedroom, one of the more accessible OCR entry points for a TEL-linked project in 2025. Units remain available from the developer.
Location context. Springleaf MRT (TE4, Thomson-East Coast Line) is a 2-minute sheltered walk. The Central Catchment Nature Reserve and MacRitchie Reservoir trail system border the Upper Thomson corridor. Thomson Plaza and the Upper Thomson food trail serve the estate's day-to-day retail and F&B needs.
Three things to know.
Direct sheltered link to Springleaf MRT
Springleaf MRT (TE4, Thomson-East Coast Line) is a 100m sheltered walk from the development, effectively a direct connection. The TEL gives residents access to Orchard in under 20 minutes and Marina Bay in under 30, a journey time that was not achievable from Upper Thomson before the line opened. The station also positions D26 within meaningful commuting range of the CBD for the first time.
941 units with 32 conserved heritage blocks
The development is among the largest in the Upper Thomson corridor and one of very few new launches in Singapore to incorporate conserved buildings into the residential scheme. 32 units sit within the retained heritage structures, offering buyers a typology that is structurally absent from most new launch pipelines. The remaining 909 units span five new towers.
Nature corridor and Central Catchment Reserve
Upper Thomson Road borders the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, Singapore's largest nature reserve at over 3,000 hectares. MacRitchie Reservoir trail and Lower Peirce Reservoir Park are accessible from the estate. The neighbourhood is predominantly low-density landed housing, keeping the streetscape quieter than most OCR new launch locations. Thomson Plaza and the Upper Thomson food trail provide day-to-day lifestyle amenity.
Fit & trade-offs
Who this is for.
Primary-market access to a 941-unit OCR launch with a 100m sheltered link to Springleaf MRT on the Thomson-East Coast Line, direct frontage onto the Central Catchment Nature Reserve and MacRitchie trail system, GuocoLand and Hong Leong's track record across Lentor Mansion, Lentor Modern, and Midtown Modern, and a heritage typology with 32 conserved-building units rare in current launch pipelines
Freehold tenure, an established mature-estate retail and F&B catchment beyond Thomson Plaza, a CCR address with shorter CBD commute, and a sub-million quantum at the standard new-tower 1-Bedroom layouts (only the conserved AC1 at 388 sqft sits below the $878K headline entry)
- ·Buyers wanting primary-market entry into a Thomson-East Coast Line MRT-walkable address
- ·Buyers prioritising direct nature-reserve frontage and low-density estate character
- ·Buyers seeking a heritage typology with conserved-building units within a new launch
- ·Buyers requiring an established mature-estate retail and F&B catchment within walking distance
- ·Buyers wanting a CCR or RCR address with city-fringe employment access
- ·Buyers seeking freehold tenure or an East-West / North-South Line MRT direct connection

Risks & catalysts
What could move.
- ·Heritage-conservation typology adds delivery and maintenance complexity not common in standard new launches, conserved-building unit performance over a 30-year horizon is less precedented in the SG market
- ·TOP timeline shows tension between v1 (2029-H2) and developer microsite (30 Dec 2031 expected, 30 Dec 2034 CSC), construction milestone progress requires reconciliation at next close
- ·92% launch-weekend take-up leaves limited price-discovery in the residual inventory, late-cycle buyers may face less negotiation room than mid-launch entrants
- ·Upper Thomson F&B and retail catchment is concentrated at Thomson Plaza and the Sembawang Hills food trail, day-to-day amenity outside that strip remains low-density landed estate
- ·Springleaf MRT (TE4) is a 100m sheltered walk on the Thomson-East Coast Line, providing one-stop access to Lentor (TE5) and through-line connection to Orchard, Marina Bay, and the Greater Southern Waterfront
- ·Central Catchment Nature Reserve and MacRitchie trail frontage anchors a green-belt thesis rare in OCR launches at this price point
- ·92% launch-weekend take-up at $2,175 psf average sets a strong absorption signal for the Upper Thomson corridor and the wider Lentor cluster
- ·Conserved heritage typology offers a structurally differentiated product within the developer's own pipeline, supporting resale narrative differentiation over the holding period
FAQ
What buyers ask.
Q01Is Springleaf Residence still available from the developer?
Yes, with caveats. Status is `available` at backfill (May 2026), but the project sold 92% (870 of 941 units) at the launch weekend in August 2025 averaging $2,175 psf per EdgeProp coverage. Residual inventory at the time of backfill is concentrated in the larger layouts and select stacks. Buyers should request the live availability chart from the developer's appointed marketing agent.
Q02What is the difference between the new-tower units and the conserved-building units?
Springleaf Residence comprises 909 units across five new 25-storey towers and 32 units within a retained 4-storey conserved heritage building. The new-tower variants run from 2-Bedroom (B1, B2) through 3-Bedroom Basic / Standard / Plus (C1 to C8), 4-Bedroom (D1, D2), and 5-Bedroom (E1, E2). The conserved variants are 1-Bedroom (AC1, 388 sqft), 2-Bedroom (BC1, 592 sqft), and 3-Bedroom Luxury (CC1, CC2 at 1119 and 1259 sqft). The conserved units are the only 1-Bedroom layouts in the project and offer a heritage typology structurally absent from most current launch pipelines.
Q03How does Springleaf Residence compare to Lentor Mansion in the same Thomson-East Coast Line corridor?
Lentor Mansion (D26 Lentor Hills Road, 533 units, launched Mar 2024 by the same GuocoLand and Hong Leong JV) sits at Lentor MRT (TE5, one stop south of Springleaf) and transacted at around $2,104 psf at its launch weekend. Springleaf Residence (D26 Upper Thomson, 941 units, launched Aug 2025) sits at Springleaf MRT (TE4) directly and transacted at $2,175 psf average. The two projects share the developer JV, the Thomson-East Coast Line catchment, and the OCR D26 address, but Springleaf is materially larger, priced approximately $70 psf higher at launch, and includes a heritage-building typology that Lentor Mansion does not.
Q04What is the unit mix at Springleaf Residence?
941 units across two product families. New towers: 2-Bedroom (B1 at 527 sqft, B2 at 646 sqft), 3-Bedroom Basic (C1 786, C2 818), 3-Bedroom Standard (C3 904, C4 926, C5 926, C6 958), 3-Bedroom Plus (C7 1023, C8 1076), 4-Bedroom (D1 and D2 both 1227), 5-Bedroom (E1 1453, E2 1475). Conserved building: 1-Bedroom AC1 (388), 2-Bedroom BC1 (592), 3-Bedroom Luxury CC1 (1119) and CC2 (1259). Entry quantum at the type level is $878K for a small 1-Bedroom from $1,995 psf, with the 5-Bedroom range reaching $3.018M.
Q05How does Springleaf MRT (TE4) connect to the rest of the network?
Springleaf MRT (TE4, Thomson-East Coast Line) is a 100m sheltered walk from the development, effectively a direct connection. Northbound the line runs to Woodlands North (TE1) connecting to the Cross Island Line at the future Woodlands North interchange. Southbound the line runs through Lentor (TE5), Mayflower (TE6), Bright Hill (TE7), Upper Thomson (TE8), and Caldecott (TE9, interchange with Circle Line) before continuing through Orchard (TE14, interchange with North-South Line), Outram Park (TE17, interchange with East-West and North East Lines), Marina Bay (TE20), and onward to the Greater Southern Waterfront. Travel time to Orchard is approximately 18 minutes and to Marina Bay approximately 28 minutes.
