Springleaf Residence sold 870 of its 941 units over the launch weekend of 15 to 16 August 2025 — 92% of the development — at an average of $2,175 psf. It was the first high-rise condominium in the Springleaf area, and the first project in Singapore to adopt a biodiversity-sensitive design approach, built around 32 conserved heritage blocks rather than clearing them. Completion is expected in the second half of 2029.

The location is anchored by transport and greenery in equal measure. Springleaf MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line is about 266m away and connected by a 100m sheltered link, so the walk to the train is covered. The line runs direct to Orchard, the CBD and Marina Bay, which gives a forest-edge address an unusually short commute. The surrounding neighbourhood is low-density landed housing and nature reserve, with the Central Catchment and Springleaf Nature Park close by.

GuocoLand and Hong Leong Holdings secured the Upper Thomson Road parcel in a state land tender in April 2024 for $779.6 million, or $905 psf per plot ratio. That entry price supported launch pricing of $1,995 to $2,263 psf, with compact one-bedroom units starting from about $860,000 — competitive against executive condominiums in the area, which were averaging around $1,750 psf at the time.

The design is the part that is hardest to replicate. Retaining 32 heritage blocks and designing around biodiversity is a slower and more expensive way to build, and it is the reason the estate reads as a continuation of the forest edge rather than a clearing in it. Facilities include the Springleaf Club with a gym, study room and craft room, The ECA House, and a Heritage Walk threading through the conserved buildings. With 92% of units already sold, buyers now weigh the remaining stock against resale alternatives.
