Faber Residence at Clementi New Launch : Coming Soon

In October 2025, we will be welcoming the launch of Faber Residence at Clementi, the much-anticipated new launch in Clementi area by GuocoLand (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., TID Residential Pte. Ltd. and Intrepid Investments Pte. Ltd.

📍 Project Overview

Faber Residence at Clementi is a low-rise, resort-style development launched on a 99-year GLS leasehold site acquired by GuocoLand. The land was awarded on 26 November 2024 at a tender price of about S$900 per square foot (psi) per plot ratio (ppr).

The site is substantial—close to 300,000 square feet—and the development will have 399 units ranging from two-bedroom to five-bedroom configurations. No one bedroom here. And it will be just be a 5 storey high development.

Key Facts for Faber Residence

• Developer: GuocoLand
• Tenure: 99 years (GLS land)
• Launch timing: 18th October 2025 (tentative)
• Site area: ~300,000 sq ft (one of the larger land parcels in the area)
• Unit count: 399 units (low density relative to land size which means comfortable, less crowd and more facilities)
• Building height context: Located in a two-storey semi-detached enclave with surrounding buildings limited to about 2.5 storeys
• Key education selling point: Within 1km to Nan Hua Primary School
• MRT access: Not within walking distance of an MRT but several bus services link the area to Clementi, Jurong and the CBD. Maybe the developer (and then MCST) will have a shuttle bus to the MRT stations 😃

🚧 Facing, Orientation & Surroundings 🏞️

Faber Residence at Clementi benefits from a low-rise neighbourhood which helps preserve views and tranquillity. It is living right next to Sungei Ulu Pandan, a river (and the Ulu Pandan Park Connector). Like literally right next to it....

Orientation types you can expect include park connector-facing stacks, landed-house-facing stacks, and south-facing stacks along the highway. The highway-facing units are typically the least desirable from a noise and outlook perspective, so be prepared to pay a premium for quieter, non-highway-facing units.

If you have ever walked the Ulu Pandan Park Connector before, it is even possible to walk all the way to Star Vista. Read about it on this hiking article.

Because surrounding houses are restricted to about 12 metres, many units above the second floor can enjoy unblock views and a sense of openness—something that’s rare for Clementi launches that are often surrounded by mid-rise apartments.

Look at its neighbour condos next to Faber Residence such as Waterfront @ Faber. That is how long it can go. Check out these condos as you walk along the Ulu Pandan River cum Park Connector.

🚆 Is the lack of MRT station a concern 🛑

One of the strongest objections is simple: Faber Residence at Clementi is not within walking distance to an MRT station. In today’s market, buyers are spoiled for choice: many new launches near MRTs are commanding large premiums. It’s a reasonable concern—proximity to MRT reduces commute friction and can affect resale premiums.

That said, the site is still well-served by a network of bus routes (e.g., 97, 154, 154B, 197, 198 and 201) that provide convenient links to Clementi MRT and Jurong etc.

From the bus stop, it is just 5-10 minutes to Clementi MRT for the East-West Line.

While MRT access is a major convenience factor, the market still values many non-MRT condos highly—particularly in mature estates with strong neighbourhood demand. Clementi resale projects like Clement Canopy, Whistler Grand, Cleavon, and Twin View have all shown solid profitability despite not being immediately adjacent to an MRT.

MRT is important but not that important. Especially if you are driving, I guess.

Besides, you can always aim to be the condo's MCST and then provide a shuttle bus service to the MRT stations for your fellow residents 😄

📚 1 km to Nan Hua Primary School 🏫

Ok. Broken Record here as I always like to say 1km to this school or 1km to that school. I know.. Sorry lah... 🙇

But for this case, due to the very competitive nature to Nan Hua Primary School, and how distance priority to schools is such a big deal, perhaps for families with school going kids (or nearly going to Primary School kids or just inside the stomach), this might be a good reason for buying into Faber Residence.

The uniqueness here is the 1km proximity to Nan Hua Primary School—an uncommon attribute that can command premiums in family-driven markets.

Now, I must say that we need to wait the final confirmation from the developer that this is 1km to Nan Hua Primary School. So check with your property agent 😄 But if I simply check Waterfront@Faber, it is within 1km.

In Singapore’s school-centric property market, a development within the 1KM radius to a sought-after primary school can command tangible pricing benefits and strong long-term demand from owner-occupier families.

📈 Large Land Size with Less Units 📊

Look at these two figures for Faber Residence

Land Size : ~300,000 sq ft
No of Units : 399 units (why not 400 hor... 😁)

These two figures don't gel often in new launches...... Large Land Size with Not Many Units.

Faber Residence at Clementi will have 399 units, which is smaller than many “mega” launches. Some buyers worry this makes future resale harder. But unit count alone is not the whole story. Faber Residence at Clementi sits on a very large land parcel relative to its unit count, which means generous facilities without the congestion you see in higher-density projects.

Have you tried using a gym in one of those mega projects 😺 Or the swimming pools on a weekend....

Faber Residence at Clementi is a rare example of a large land parcel with low unit density in a mature estate. This combination lets the developer deliver expansive facilities without feeling overcrowded. For owner-occupiers who want resort-style living in Clementi rather than a compact high-density block, this is a major selling point.

Land-per-unit here is healthy—arguably better for a resort-style living experience. If you prioritise space, privacy and resort amenities, the lower unit count can be a feature, not a bug. The low-density, resort-style product appeals to buyers seeking privacy and a quieter urban lifestyle. Maybe it is great for retirees who want peaceful environment (and a park connector right outside).

Given the large land sweet spot and GuocoLand’s brand, Faber Residence at Clementi can be attractive to families and owner-occupiers seeking a resort feel in a mature estate. That demographic tends to translate to stable demand in the resale market.

👷 It is GuocoLand 🫡

In real estate, name sells. Quality sells. And brand name with high quality sells sells sells.

GuocoLand’s reputation is a major plus. Quality matters in the resale market and GuocoLand typically commands better launch reception and longer-term price holding. Developer reputation matters. GuocoLand has a track record for good design, build quality and brand recognition.

Projects from premium developers tend to attract better-quality buyers and hold resale values better. If you compare this with past developments in the micro-area, developer brand is one explanation for price differentiation at both launch and resale.

Conclusion

When you score these criteria objectively, Faber Residence at Clementi is a strong contender for buyers who prioritise quality, family appeal, and a mature estate location over immediate MRT adjacency.

Faber Residence at Clementi is not for everyone, but for a large group of buyers it represents a compelling, low-risk entry into Clementi. If you missed out on Lyndenwoods, then perhaps you can consider Faber Residence too.
