GuocoLand locks in the fifth chapter of Lentor Hills
GuocoLand has closed a green club financing facility worth 634.7 million Singapore dollars. The agreement, formalized on July 2, 2026, was signed with OCBC and the Singapore branch of ICBC. The funds are earmarked for the fifth residential project in the Lentor Hills district, an area the group is transforming into a landmark housing hub through a series of consecutive developments.
The site and the tower layout
The Lentor Central land parcel was acquired on March 6, 2026. The site will host a residential complex made up of approximately 553 units, distributed across three towers: two of 26 storeys and one of 27. The layout is designed for families and multigenerational configurations, sitting adjacent to the nearby Lentor Modern project, which has already been fully placed on the market. The stated goal is to secure BCA Green Mark Platinum certification in the Super Low Energy category, a standard that imposes strict energy efficiency criteria.
The Green Finance Framework and the group's trajectory
The deal falls under GuocoLand's Green Finance Framework, a program that has already mobilized roughly 5 billion dollars in sustainable financing across projects such as Guoco Tower, Lentor Mansion, and Midtown Modern. The new Lentor Central development, slated for launch in the first half of 2027, forms part of this consolidation strategy in low-impact luxury residential building, further shaping the identity of the Lentor Hills district as an exclusive residential enclave.
