Singapore’s first mass-market private residential development launched since the introduction of new curbs has nearly sold out.

Singapore's first mass-market private residential development since the implementation of new property curbs has achieved a remarkable success, with over 94% of units sold on the launch day. CapitaLand Development (CLD) reported that 324 out of 343 units at LyndenWoods, located at Singapore Science Park (SSP), were sold on Saturday, July 12, 2025 [1].

The strong demand for LyndenWoods underscores the market's resilience despite recent policy changes aimed at curbing speculative behavior. The average selling price of S$2,450 per square foot (psf) indicates that buyers are confident in the project's long-term investment potential and strategic location [1]. This average price is lower than the median rates for similar units across Singapore and the district, reflecting the project's competitive pricing strategy [2].

LyndenWoods' success comes amidst a broader trend of slowing home price growth. Preliminary data shows that private home prices grew by 0.5% in the three months ended June, marking a deceleration from the previous quarter's 0.9% increase [2]. The project's early performance may validate policymakers' concerns about the trend of flipping properties for a quick profit, which has driven a renewed jump in home prices and risked affecting affordability [2].

The project's appeal lies in its unique positioning within a future-ready innovation district, offering residents convenient access to workplaces, nature, dining, retail, education, and transport options. The development's biophilic design, green features, and smart-home technology are expected to contribute to its BCA Green Mark Platinum certification [1].

Despite the strong initial performance, the market's response to the new curbs remains to be fully assessed. More projects are lined up for sale in coming weeks, which will provide further insights into how buyers are digesting the measures. The opening sales weekend for private projects usually sees the bulk of transactions and is closely watched for an indication of market sentiment [2].
