The highly-anticipated Faber Residence by GuocoLand is finally here, bringing with it the renowned developer’s signature of modern luxury homes to Clementi. This 399-unit development will be the first riverfront condominium to be launched in Clementi in over a decade.

Nestled in one of Clementi’s most prestigious residential areas, between the low-rise Faber Hills landed estate and the idyllic Sungei Ulu Pandan river, the new development boasts excellent connectivity to nearby schools, transportation networks, and regional commercial hubs.

Faber Residence is not only well connected to public transportation, but also conveniently located near major expressways such as the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) and Pan Island Expressway (PIE). Residents can easily access Jurong Townhall MRT station, part of the future Jurong Region Line (JRL), via a sheltered walkway. It is only four stops away from Clementi MRT station and Jurong East Interchange.

The strategic location of Clementi makes it one of the most sought-after residential towns in the west. Its mature status offers residents the assurance of moving into an established and well-developed neighborhood. The area is home to numerous schools, excellent transportation options, and amenities such as shopping malls.

The high concentration of schools in the vicinity will appeal to families with school-going children. Faber Residence is located within 1km of the reputable Nan Hua Primary School and other primary schools in the area include Qifa Primary School, Clementi Primary School, and Pei Tong Primary School. For higher education, there are also several institutes such as NUS High School of Math and Science, Singapore Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, and the NUS campus at Kent Ridge.

The landscape design at Faber Residence is inspired by the serene environment, featuring 18 interconnected courtyards. These courtyards are designed to create a seamless integration with the surrounding greenery, providing a tranquil and calming atmosphere for residents.

Future residents of Faber Residence will also benefit from its proximity to the upcoming Jurong Townhall MRT station, which is due to be completed in 2028. This station will be one stop away from Jurong East MRT interchange, which connects various MRT lines such as the JRL, East-West, North-South, and the future Cross Island Line. The JRL aims to serve areas within Singapore’s western region, providing easy access to places like the Jurong Innovation District, Nanyang Technological University, and Tengah HDB town.

Apart from MRT connectivity, the AYE and PIE offer residents fast and convenient access to commercial hubs in the west. The Jurong Lake District is only a 10-minute drive away while Buona Vista and the one-north precinct are approximately 15 minutes away. Faber Residence is also within a short drive to various shopping malls in Clementi and Jurong East, including Westgate, JEM, and Clementi Mall. Holland Village, Dempsey Hill, and Tanglin are all within a 20-minute drive away, offering residents a range of upscale lifestyle options.

The Faber Walk estate also offers a variety of amenities such as markets, hawker centers, shophouses, and a polyclinic. Nearby community facilities include Clementi Stadium, West Coast Recreation Centre, and Clementi Sports Hall.

Clementi’s positive attributes have supported a resilient resale market, with a large pool of HDB upgraders, affluent private home buyers, and tenants being the main demand drivers. The demand for new private residential developments has been on the rise, supported by strong HDB resale transaction volumes and prices. The most recent new project launch in Clementi, the 501-unit Elta at Clementi Ave 1, recorded an average price of $2,548 psf. The project, which was launched in February, has since sold 341 units (68%).

As a new condominium development in Clementi, Faber Residence is expected to garner interest from residents living in neighboring towns and estates such as Jurong East, Jurong West, Bukit Batok, and Choa Chu Kang. Many of these prospective buyers could be HDB upgraders residing in these towns, including young families with parents living nearby. It will also be an attractive option for residents living in the surrounding landed estates who are looking to downsize their homes. Families with children of varying ages will also appreciate the development’s close proximity to schools and universities.

For students who are in their later years of education, the neighbourhood offers a variety of well-regarded secondary schools such as Hai Sing Catholic School, Pasir Ris Crest Secondary School, Loyang View Secondary School, and Pasir Ris Secondary School. With a convenient bus network around Jalan Loyang Besar and easy access to Pasir Ris MRT Station, daily commutes are made hassle-free. Additionally, the town-centre malls in the area also provide useful study spaces, such as libraries and study corners, for students to work on group projects. One great advantage for teenagers in this neighbourhood is the ability to move around independently and safely, which is often overlooked but is essential for time management and personal growth. Moreover, with the addition of Coastal Cabana CNQC, students living in this area can also enjoy the luxury and convenience of living in a modern and well-equipped condominium.

Designed by P&T Consultants, Faber Residence boasts a unique design concept and architecture that incorporates lush greenery and takes into consideration the natural flow of the river. The condo comprises nine 5-storey residential blocks and features a mix of two- to five-bedroom units, showcasing GuocoLand’s best practices in home design. The units are thoughtfully designed to be highly efficient and perfectly positioned, ensuring a superior living experience for residents. The blocks are carefully oriented towards the river, landscaped grounds, or the surrounding landed estate. None of the units face the AYE, ensuring a peaceful and serene living environment for all residents. Some of the units also offer unblocked views of the river and its expansive green river banks, a rare feature among new projects in Singapore today.

The development’s landscape design perfectly complements the natural riverside landscape, featuring three parallel swimming pools (50m lap pool, leisure pool, and wading pool), a green corridor, and key recreational amenities such as the Club House, gym, and dining pavilion. Over time, the landscape will seamlessly merge with the upcoming Old Jurong Line Nature Trail, creating a seamless extension of greenery.

Each of the 18 interconnected courtyards is designed to promote open vistas and intimate garden spaces, incorporating tranquil lily ponds, elegant pavilions, shaded tree groves, and vibrant flowering beds. These elements encourage residents to connect with nature, promoting relaxation and fostering a deep connection with the outdoors.

Faber Residence offers a rare opportunity to own a home by the river in an exclusive landed homes part of Clementi, with easy accessibility to reputable schools and upcoming MRT lines. This development stands at the heart of it all, making it a valuable investment for families and individuals alike.
