A single bid of $486.8 million was submitted by GuocoLand and Intrepid Investments – a subsidiary of Hong Leong Group, for a 99-year leasehold residential GLS site at Lentor Gardens.

Lentor Central was awarded to a consortium comprising China Communications Construction, Soilbuild Group Holdings and United Engineers for $481.03 million ($1,108 psf ppr). Meanwhile, the Lentor Hills (Parcel B) site was awarded to TID (a joint venture between Hong Leong Group and Mitsui Fudosan) for $276.36 million ($1,130 psf ppr) with potential to yield 265 units.
