Lentor Gardens Residences sits at the upper end of the TEL spine, 800m from Lentor MRT. NSC Lentor viaduct opens 2027. Mid-cycle positioning, early enough to benefit, late enough to see the evidence.
Lentor corridor H1 2026 rental data: 2BR $3,500 to $4,500/mo, 3BR $4,500 to $6,000/mo. Gross yield 2.7 to 3.5%. Supply warning: 2,900+ units incoming 2026 to 2028. What the corridor actually rents for.
