LyndenWoods has made one of the boldest debuts in Singapore’s property market this year. On its launch day, 12 July, developer CapitaLand Development (CLD) sold 324 out of 343 units, translating to a 94.5% take-up rate. This makes LyndenWoods the best-performing new launch of 2025 so far, in terms of percentage sold.
This figure places it ahead of Lentor Central Residences and Aurelle of Tampines, which respectively showed outstanding launch performance in March 2025. With fewer than 20 units left, can LyndenWoods get into a complete sell-out soon?

Strong launch results at S$2,450 psf average
LyndenWoods generated serious buzz since the first day of public viewing. According to the developer, over 12,000 people visited the showflat during the two-week preview. A majority of the viewers included families, working professionals, and young couples who value LyndenWoods’ location within the Singapore Science Park.
When sales went live, CLD confirmed that 324 units were sold on the first launch weekend. All 137 two-bedroom units and 92 two-bedroom plus study units were snapped up. Prices started from S$1.398 million for two-bedroom units and S$1.959 million for two-bedroom plus study units. All 45 three-bedroom units were also sold, with prices starting from S$2.352 million. Based on developer feedback, the average price landed at S$2,450 psf.
Only mid and larger layouts remain. These are three-bedroom-plus-study units starting at S$2.894 million (S$2,240 psf) and four-bedroom premium units from S$3.61 million (S$2,192 psf).
This sales outcome is even more notable considering the timing. The launch took place just over a week after new cooling measures were announced on 4 July, which reinstated the Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD) holding period to four years. Despite this, sales at LyndenWoods were largely unaffected. It suggests that most buyers are likely genuine homebuyers or those who plan to hold long-term.
What’s driving the high demand at LyndenWoods?
Several factors contributed to the strong response from buyers. These include its strategic location, integration with a future-ready lifestyle precinct, attractive price positioning, and limited competition in the area. Each of these helped LyndenWoods stand out in a crowded new launch calendar of 2025. For many, the project offers strong fundamentals, regardless of the extended holding period on the recent cooling measure.
Holistic work-live-play enclave in District 5
LyndenWoods will be part of a vibrant community and work-live-play ecosystem. The area is already home to comprehensive amenities, and the new Geneo now adds to the value. Spanning 1.9 million sqft, Geneo is a business park development featuring five Grade-A buildings, the 250-unit Citadines Science Park Singapore, over 39,000 sqft of retail and F&B options, and lifestyle amenities.
Residents of LyndenWoods will directly benefit from the amenities and facilities at neighbouring Geneo, which is also their public transport gateway. A sheltered pedestrian walkway will link LyndenWoods to Geneo, which in turn is directly connected to Kent Ridge MRT Station on the Circle Line. Residents can look forward to a comfortable, weather-protected stroll home in just six minutes when travelling by train.
The first residential project in Singapore Science Park
LyndenWoods is the first private residential development within Singapore Science Park. This gives residents the rare opportunity to live within walking distance of work. For many buyers who plan to occupy, this proximity to employment hubs was a key reason to act quickly.
LyndenWoods is also positioned close to some of Singapore’s top education and research institutions. NUS, Singapore Polytechnic, and the National University Hospital (NUH) are all within a short ride, if not walking distance. This opens up the project to a wider pool of prospective tenants. Think of medical professionals, university staff, or postgraduate students.
Rental demand in this pocket has been strong for years. Surrounding areas like Kent Ridge and Buona Vista have always drawn tenants because of their proximity to these academic and employment zones. Now, LyndenWoods offers a newer, more convenient living option that’s actually inside the park itself.
On top of that, the area is also part of a long-term transformation plan. The URA Draft Master Plan 2025 has identified Singapore Science Park as a key growth area, with potential for new housing and mixed-use developments. Buyers who entered early likely saw value in being part of the first wave.
Proximity to one-north and Greater Southern Waterfront
LyndenWoods is located at the edge of the Science Park, but its reach goes far beyond that. It’s minutes away from one-north, a business and media hub anchored by Fusionopolis, Biopolis, and Mediapolis. This spillover effect means more job opportunities, more rental demand, and a stronger neighbourhood ecosystem overall. Even if someone doesn’t work in Science Park, they could be employed just down the road in one-north. That creates long-term demand for homes like LyndenWoods.
On top of that, the area is adjacent to the upcoming Greater Southern Waterfront (GSW). As this massive URA transformation unfolds, projects near its northern edge, including LyndenWoods, stand to benefit. The whole southern belt of Singapore is expected to grow in value over the next decade, and this project is nicely positioned for it.
How LyndenWoods stacks up against other new launches in 2025
The headline is clear. At 94.5% launch-day take-up, LyndenWoods leads all private condos launched this year. While prime location is the main highlight of this project, the attractive price might be the biggest reason behind its near-sell-out launch. Despite its location within a future-ready precinct, LyndenWoods offered surprisingly accessible pricing in the Rest of Central Region (RCR). The S$2,450 psf average is well below the recent new launch sales within the region, which have reached almost S$2,700 psf on average.
However, this launch price point is similar to Bloomsbury Residences‘ launch in April 2025, which sold a quarter of its units at an average of S$2,474 psf. Located nearby at one-north, Bloomsbury Residences in Mediapolis (now around 50% sold) is also a residential pioneer in its precinct with much future potential. But the sales turnouts of the two launches showed very different outcomes, highlighting how buyers might find LyndenWoods particularly interesting from the very first launch.
The S$1.398 million starting price for two-bedroom units at LyndenWoods made it even competitive against some smaller new launch units in the Outside Central Region (OCR). One-bedroom units at Lentoria, which launched last year, are currently transacting for above S$1.3 million. Other newer launches in the OCR, such as Parktown Residences and Lentor Central Residences, also have similar price points for their one-bedders.
Even three-bedroom units at LyndenWoods remained under S$2.5 million, anchoring within a price zone favoured by HDB upgraders and young families. In short, on top of the project’s unique selling points, LyndenWoods offered both RCR convenience and OCR affordability, an unusual combination that clearly won over buyers.
Could LyndenWoods sell out before Q4 2025?
Among all the new launches in 2025, Aurelle of Tampines was the first one to sell out. It took only one month to clear out what’s left from the 90% take-up at launch. However, being the only EC launch in the first half of the year was mostly the reason behind this outstanding performance. Within the full private market, Lentor Central Residences sold 93% of its units during launch. Notably, the project is currently at the edge of a complete sell-out as well. Entering the fourth month of its official launch, one unit remains unsold out of a total of 477 units.
LyndenWoods outperformed both of these projects with its nearly 95% take-up rate at launch weekend. As of the writing of this article, which is less than a week since the official launch, only 15 units are left unsold at LyndenWoods (see here). Looking at the pattern of past high-performing launches, it’s not unexpected if Lyndenwoods close within a month, especially if it keeps its current pace.
However, the remaining layouts — three-bedroom-plus-study and four-bedroom premium units — address a smaller, more specific market segment compared to the already sold-out compact units. It may take some time for these larger units to find buyers. Still, considering the significant interest surrounding this new launch project, it could potentially reach full sell-out before we enter the last quarter of 2025. Those interested may need to act quickly.
