The site is studded with established educational institutions and job centres, making it a prime choice for both homeowners and investors. The team behind the project, a collaboration between GuocoLand, Hong Leong Holdings, and TID, won the site at a government land tender with their bid of $349.858 million (equating to $900 psf per plot ratio) in November 2019.During a media briefing on September 30, GuocoLand’s group CEO Cheng Hsing Yao shared that the riverfront location adjacent to Sungei Ulu Pandan river and the neighbouring low-rise landed estate on Faber Walk was what caught the developer’s attention. With its lush surroundings and strategic location, Faber Residence is set to attract both buyers and investors alike.According to Mohan Sandrasegeran, SRI’s head of research and data analytics, the project’s design is both sensitive to the neighbouring landed estate and integrated with its lush environment. He also notes that previous new projects in Clementi have been high-density developments such as the 716-unit Whistler Grand on West Coast Vale. “We believe there will be keen interest from buyers who will be drawn to the low-rise landed-inspired offering at Faber Residence,” he adds.While the project offers some units with riverfront views, other units will have a spacious view of the landscaped courtyards between blocks. Furthermore, the horizontal distance between blocks is at least 20m, exceeding the height of the 19m buildings, making it a luxurious and exclusive living experience.Excellent schools such as Nan Hua Primary School, Pei Tong Primary School, Clementi Town Secondary School, Singapore Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, and National University of Singapore (NUS) are all within a 1km radius of Faber Residence. Moreover, business hubs within the area include the International Business Park at Jurong Town Hall Road, the one-north precinct, and the upcoming Jurong Lake District (JLD).Transportation convenience is a major highlight of Faber Residence as it is a mere 10-minute walk to the future Jurong Town Hall MRT Station on the Jurong Region Line, set to be operational in 2028. The project is scheduled for completion in 2029 and is also four bus stops away from Clementi MRT Station on the East-West Line. Additionally, when the future Cross Island Line (CRL) is completed in 2030, the station will be an interchange for greater convenience for Faber Residence’s residents.Situated alongside Sungei Ulu Pandan and within the Clementi Nature Corridor, the Ulu Pandan Park Connector is easily accessible to Faber Residence’s residents. Other nearby natural beauties include the Rail Corridor as well as the future Clementi Nature Trail and Old Jurong Line Nature Trail.Thanks to the strategic location of Faber Residence, it is an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a landed-inspired living experience with convenient access to HDB upgraders living in the nearby Clementi and other HDB towns in the West. As Lee Sze Teck, Huttons Asia’s senior director of data analytics says, “The Faber Walk residential estate is characterised by a mix of landed homes and a strong catchment of HDB upgraders in Clementi and other HDB towns in the West.”Moreover, within close proximity to Faber Residence is the 1,468-unit Parc Clematis at Jalan Lempeng which was launched in August 2019.
