Pricing Strategy and Unit Mix
The pricing for Tengah Garden Residences reflects a diverse range of layouts designed to capture different market segments. While the overall starting price is S$1,779 per square foot (psf), the actual cost varies significantly by unit size.
Detailed Pricing Breakdown

The unit mix is heavily weighted toward families, with three-bedroom units making up approximately 40% of the development and two-bedroom units accounting for 39%. Four-bedroom apartments comprise about 20%, while one-bedroom units are rare, representing less than 1% of the total stock.
Strategic Location and Development Context
Located along Tengah Garden Avenue, the project is situated within Singapore’s first “smart and sustainable town.” It is designed to benefit from proximity to the Jurong Lake District and future MRT connectivity.
The land was acquired by the developers in January 2025 for S$675 million, which translates to S$821 psf per plot ratio (ppr). The winning bid was highly competitive, beating the second-highest bid from Kingsford Group by only S$6 psf ppr.
Market Positioning
Tengah Garden Residences enters a market that has previously seen executive condominium (EC) developments such as Copen Grand, Novo Place, and Otto Place. However, as the first private residential development with retail amenities in Tengah, it occupies a unique niche that provides a different value proposition than the surrounding ECs.
