Ten landed homes, one street, and a lease that began in 1884 — Springleaf Collection is an unusual proposition even by landed-market standards. The 999-year tenure, dated 16 October 1884, means roughly 857 years remain, which is why these strata terraces behave more like freehold assets than leasehold ones. Only 10 units make up the entire development at 43 to 52 Meng Suan Road.

Each home rises four storeys with an attic above, connected by a private lift and laid out with five bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms. Some units were offered with an optional pool. At five bedrooms over that many levels, the design is clearly aimed at multi-generational households that need separate zones under one roof rather than a larger single-floor footprint.

Springleaf MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line is about 690m away — a walk of roughly nine minutes. The TEL links directly to Orchard and continues into the CBD and Marina Bay, which makes the site more connected than its leafy surroundings suggest. Daily needs are met further afield in Upper Thomson and Yishun, since the immediate neighbourhood is low-density landed housing and nature reserve rather than a commercial belt.

Pricing for the collection has been marketed from around $5.28 million, which places it in direct competition with resale semi-detached and corner-terrace stock in Districts 26 and 27. What it offers instead is tenure: a 999-year lease in a market where most new landed releases are 99-year, plus a location wedged between Springleaf Nature Park and the Central Catchment. Completion is expected around December 2028.
