A pricing review of Springleaf Residence is tough for two reasons: first, it’s a first-mover condo, in an area that has, up till now, been dominated by landed housing, so there isn’t much of a precedent. Second, Springleaf Residence is one of the most competitively priced projects in 2025 already; three-bedders here can still be below $1.7 million, so it will undercut virtually every other new launch in terms of pricing.
But does lower pricing automatically translate to good value? Let’s take a closer look to see whether affordability here truly equates to a worthwhile buy.
Comparing a new launch against nearby projects is a useful starting point, but deciding whether to buy comes down to something more specific: the actual unit you're considering, the price you're paying, and the alternatives available to you.
That's where many buyers seek a second opinion, working through the trade-offs before deciding whether to commit.
Over time, that's also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.
Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.
Indicative prices for Springleaf Residence
| Unit type | Estimated size (sqft) | Indicative starting price | Estimated starting $PSF |
| 1 Bedroom | 388 | $878,000 | $2,263 |
| 2 Bedroom | 527 | $1,078,000 | $2,046 |
| 3 Bedroom | 786 | $1,618,000 | $2,058 |
| 4 Bedroom | 1,227 | $2,448,000 | $1,995 |
| 5 Bedroom | 1,453 | $3,018,000 | $2,077 |
| Average | $2,088 |
The quantum is low for 2025, where the average new launch 2 bedder can be expected to hit the $1.8 million mark. While the total square footage is lower, bear in mind this is a post-harmonisation project, so the square footage excludes features like air-con ledges or strata void spaces.
