Lentor Signature vs One Chuan Grove: two early-2027 launches weeks apart, and which one to queue for
My verdict, as at 8 November 2026: neither has a price list, so this is which queue to join. Lentor Signature: about 553 three- and four-bedroom homes beside Lentor MRT, land at $1,278 psf ppr, preview targeted Q1 2027. One Chuan Grove: about 1,056 homes from one to five bedrooms, a 4-minute walk from Lorong Chuan on the Circle Line, land at about $1,355 psf ppr, launch estimated February 2027. My model puts their launch averages $90 to $110 psf apart. Lentor Signature suits a family wanting three or four bedrooms and a one-seat ride to town; One Chuan Grove suits a one- or two-bedroom buyer or a Circle Line commuter. Torn? E-apply for both and decide on the price lists.

How do Lentor Signature and One Chuan Grove compare side by side?
On paper these are the same kind of buy: two 99-year leasehold condominiums in the Outside Central Region on Government Land Sales sites, both beside or near an MRT station, both expected in the first quarter of 2027. The differences are the line, the size of the estate and, most of all, the unit mix.

Is Lentor Signature cheaper than One Chuan Grove?
On land, yes, by a little. Lentor Signature’s site cost $1,278 psf ppr. One Chuan Grove’s two plots cost $703.6 million ($1,376 psf ppr) and $623.9 million ($1,331 psf ppr), about $1,355 psf ppr blended. That is about $77 psf ppr more for the Chuan Grove land, roughly 6%.

Land: URA tender award, 6 March 2026 (Lentor Signature); tender awards of 4 September 2025 (Chuan Grove). Breakeven and launch averages are my own land-cost model, not developer figures, and neither developer has released a price list.
On my numbers the two launch averages land about $90 to $110 psf apart, and the ranges overlap. That gap is small enough for either developer’s pricing decision to close it or widen it. Two things my model cannot see: One Chuan Grove’s unit mix, because a project with one- and two-bedders usually shows a higher average psf than one built only of three- and four-bedders, and how hard each developer wants to clear its first weekend.
Per unit the comparison depends on what you are buying. Lentor Signature’s entry point is a three-bedroom indicated below $2 million; nothing smaller exists. One Chuan Grove is reported to start from about 474 sq ft, so its entry ticket will very likely be well below Lentor Signature’s, for a much smaller home. Lentor Signature’s neighbours give a precedent: URA new-sale medians from $2,108 psf at Lentor Modern (2022) to $2,357 psf at Lentor Gardens Residences (July 2026).
Thomson-East Coast Line or Circle Line: which journey suits you?
This is the decision that should drive the choice, more than the psf. Lentor Signature sits beside Lentor station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, which runs to Orchard, Outram Park and Marina Bay without a change; the developer’s briefing indicates about 25 minutes to Orchard and 30 to the CBD. Bright Hill, two stops south, becomes the Cross Island Line interchange, with the first phase expected in 2030.
One Chuan Grove is about a 4-minute walk from Lorong Chuan on the Circle Line, with Serangoon (North East Line, NEX) one stop one way and Bishan (North-South Line, Junction 8) one stop the other. The Circle Line is a good orbital link to the east and to one-north, and a slower way into Raffles Place than a direct radial line. If your office or your children’s schools sit on the Circle Line or the North East Line, One Chuan Grove wins the daily journey; if you head into Orchard or Marina Bay, Lentor Signature does.
The estates differ too. Lentor is a new precinct, largely built by GuocoLand, with the Lentor Modern mall open since 2026 and five projects reaching TOP between 2026 and 2029. Lorong Chuan sits beside Serangoon Gardens in one of the more settled parts of the OCR, but District 19 has absorbed a lot of new supply. Either way, keys arrive into competition, and a buyer planning to let or sell should model that rather than assume it away.
Which should you queue for, and can you e-apply for both?
You can e-apply for more than one project. E-application usually opens about two weeks before booking day, and each application goes in with a cheque for the 5% booking fee. If One Chuan Grove launches in February 2027 and Lentor Signature’s preview lands in March 2027, as the current estimates suggest, the two windows could fall within weeks of each other, or overlap. Neither date is confirmed as at 8 November 2026.
My read on queueing:
- If you need three or four bedrooms and travel into town, Lentor Signature is the natural first choice; register for One Chuan Grove too, because its larger units may suit and its price list may arrive first.
- If you want a one- or two-bedroom, only One Chuan Grove has them; Lentor Signature has none.
- If you want a five-bedroom, One Chuan Grove is reported to have them; Lentor Signature tops out at four.
- If you are genuinely torn, e-apply for both and decide on the actual price lists and your ballot numbers, not on my model.
Have the cash ready before you apply. Under the progressive payment scheme the 5% booking fee is followed by 15% on exercising the option, buyer’s stamp duty within 14 days of exercise, construction-stage payments, 25% at TOP and 15% at the certificate of statutory completion. On a $1.99 million three-bedroom, as an illustration only, the first 20% is $398,000 before stamp duty. The loan is capped at 75% of the price and by the 55% total debt servicing ratio. My Lentor Signature e-application guide sets out the steps, and the affordability calculator runs your loan.

Who each project suits
Lentor Signature suits you if
- you need three or four bedrooms: about 77% of its roughly 553 homes are three-bedroom and 23% four-bedroom on the developer’s preliminary mix;
- your daily journey runs into Orchard, Outram Park or Marina Bay, one seat from Lentor station beside the site;
- you want a smaller estate of about 553 homes in a precinct you can walk before the preview;
- you prefer the lower land cost, $1,278 psf ppr, and a TOP the register puts at 2029;
- not if you want a one-, two- or five-bedroom unit: there are none in the mix.
One Chuan Grove suits you if
- you want a one- or two-bedroom, or a five-bedroom, from a reported range of about 474 to 1,561 sq ft;
- your work or schools sit on the Circle Line, or near Serangoon or Bishan, one stop either way from Lorong Chuan;
- you like a large estate of about 1,056 homes with shops and a childcare centre on site, beside Serangoon Gardens;
- a February 2027 launch estimate suits your timing better than Lentor Signature’s;
- not if you need a published TOP year before committing: none has been released.
Lentor Signature vs One Chuan Grove: the questions buyers ask
Neither has a price list as at 8 November 2026. On land, Lentor Signature cost $1,278 psf ppr against about $1,355 for One Chuan Grove. My land-cost model puts their launch averages at about $2,320 to $2,520 psf and $2,410 to $2,630 psf, about $90 to $110 psf apart; that is my model, not a developer figure.
Possibly One Chuan Grove. Its launch is estimated for February 2027, not confirmed by the developer. Lentor Signature’s preview is targeted for Q1 2027 in the developer’s 22 October 2026 briefing and filed as March 2027 on the SingMap record. Neither date is confirmed.
Yes. You may e-apply for more than one project. E-application usually opens about two weeks before booking day, and each application goes in with a cheque for the 5% booking fee, so have the funds for both ready if the windows overlap.
No. The developer’s briefing of 22 October 2026 describes about 77% three-bedroom and 23% four-bedroom homes and nothing smaller (preliminary). One Chuan Grove is reported to range from one- to five-bedroom, about 474 to 1,561 sq ft, with counts by type not yet public.
It depends on where you go each day. Lentor Signature sits beside Lentor on the Thomson-East Coast Line, one seat to Orchard and Marina Bay. One Chuan Grove is about a 4-minute walk from Lorong Chuan on the Circle Line, one stop from the Serangoon and Bishan interchanges.
The PropNex register (6 November 2026) carries 2029 for Lentor Signature, unconfirmed, with a filed completion date of 30 March 2029 on the developer record. One Chuan Grove has no published TOP date, so there is no like-for-like answer yet.
You can, but the second purchase attracts additional buyer’s stamp duty: 20% for a Singapore citizen’s second property and 30% for a third, and 30% for a permanent resident’s second. Both loans also count towards the 55% total debt servicing ratio.
About 1,056 homes in five towers, plus seven shops and a childcare centre, against about 553 homes in three towers at Lentor Signature. One Chuan Grove joins two Chuan Grove GLS plots won by Sing Holdings and Sunway in 2025.
