Springleaf Residence, a visionary new project by GuocoLand in collaboration with Hong Leong Holdings, is set to become a landmark development in Singapore’s Upper Thomson district. Strategically located at 821 Upper Thomson Road, this 99-year leasehold condominium promises a rare balance between modern urban convenience and the natural calm of a heritage-rich environment. Poised for completion in 2029, the development is expected to appeal to discerning homeowners looking for both lifestyle and connectivity in one of the most scenic parts of northern Singapore.
The location of Springleaf Residence is one of its most compelling features. Just 100 metres from Springleaf MRT Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, residents will enjoy seamless access to major city areas such as Orchard Road, Marina Bay, and the Central Business District. For those who frequently travel between Singapore and Malaysia, the future Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS), expected to launch by the end of 2026, adds another layer of convenience. Despite its strategic connectivity, the development is tucked away from the city’s noise, offering a retreat-like atmosphere that is increasingly rare in modern urban planning.
Designed with architectural finesse, Springleaf Residence blends contemporary aesthetics with heritage elements. The preserved Seletar Institute building within the grounds reflects Singapore’s colonial past, acting as a cultural centrepiece amid the modern towers. The project comprises five 25-storey blocks housing 941 residential units that range from one-bedroom apartments to expansive five-bedroom penthouses. This variety ensures that the development can cater to a wide spectrum of residents, from young professionals and couples to growing families and multi-generational households.
The residential blocks are set amidst verdant landscapes, with direct access to nature parks including Springleaf Nature Park and Upper Seletar Reservoir Park. These green spaces encourage outdoor recreation and wellness activities such as cycling, birdwatching, and leisurely walks. This close relationship with nature offers a lifestyle that promotes both physical and mental well-being, an increasingly desirable feature in today’s high-density urban environment.
Springleaf Residence is also well-supported by nearby amenities. Esteemed schools like Anderson Primary and CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School are within easy reach, as are healthcare facilities such as Mount Alvernia Hospital and Thomson Medical Centre. Dining and retail needs are met by nearby hubs like Thomson Plaza and Lentor Modern. GuocoLand’s commitment to sustainable development is also evident, with the project aiming for a Green Mark Platinum (Super Low Energy) certification, a testament to its environmentally conscious design and energy-efficient systems.
As a rare combination of accessibility, heritage, sustainability, and nature, Springleaf Residence presents a compelling option for homebuyers seeking a refined yet relaxed lifestyle. With its holistic approach to urban living, it is poised to become one of the most desirable addresses in the north of Singapore.
