Is Faber Residence at Faber Walk a Good Investment?

Published 6 October 2026 · Insights & News

Whether Faber Residence suits you as an investment depends on your own goals, budget and how long you plan to hold, so the useful question is which of its features matter most to you. Buyers looking at this Clementi condo typically weigh its 99-year lease from February 2025, its position next to Jurong Lake District and the International Business Park, its low-rise courtyard layout and the experience of the developer team.

This guide sets out those factors plainly, without forecasting prices, rents or returns. Market conditions change, and any decision should rest on your own finances and advice from your bank and lawyer. What follows is the factual groundwork that helps you ask the right questions.

Tenure and Timeline at Faber Residence

Faber Residence is a 99-year leasehold development, with the lease running from 24 February 2025. A lease that begins in 2025 means the full remaining term is close to its starting length when the homes are handed over, which matters both to owners who plan to stay for decades and to anyone thinking about financing later, since banks look at remaining lease when they assess a loan.

The developer estimates the Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) for 1Q 2029, with expected vacant possession on 31 December 2030 and expected legal completion on 31 December 2033. Because payments follow construction progress, buyers pay in stages rather than all at once, which shapes how the purchase fits into a household's cash flow. The project details page brings all the key dates together.

What Buyers Weigh About the Faber Residence Location

Location is usually the first factor buyers consider, and this one sits beside some of the west's main employment areas. According to the Jurong Lake District figures shown in the developer's brochure, the district is planned for 100,000 new jobs and 120 hectares of space for businesses, served by four MRT lines including the new Cross Island Line. The International Business Park, which forms part of Jurong Lake District, is about a five-minute walk from Faber Walk, by the developer's estimate.

A little further east, one-north is about a nine-minute drive. It is home to research, science and infocomm firms as well as the LaunchPad start-up cluster. The brochure also points to the Greater Southern Waterfront, where the port's move to Tuas frees about 1,000 hectares and 30km of coastline from Marina East to Pasir Panjang. Buyers who plan to let a unit often look at how close a home is to places of work; owner-occupiers value a short commute for its own sake. The Clementi and Jurong Lake District guide and the business park and one-north overview describe both areas in detail.

Rail access is part of the picture too. Jurong Town Hall station on the Jurong Region Line, under construction and known by its working name, is about a 10-minute walk, and Clementi and Jurong East MRT are four bus stops away.

The Low-Rise Faber Residence Layout and Its Landscape

Many buyers weigh the character of the estate as much as its address. Faber Residence has 399 homes spread across nine blocks of five storeys each, arranged in three rows. The blocks are about 19.35m tall and spaced about 20 to 28m apart, which is wider than the blocks are high. Landscape covers 15,506.04 sqm, or 60.3% of the site, and there are 18 interconnected courtyard gardens.

The facilities are laid out across those courtyards, from a 50m lap pool and a 25m leisure pool to an indoor gym, club dining rooms and a reading room. Residents also have a side gate onto the Ulu Pandan Park Connector, and the future Old Jurong Line Nature Trail runs alongside the site. The site plan shows how the courtyards, pools and gates fit together.

The mix of homes runs from 2-bedroom units of 646 sq ft to 5-bedroom units of 1,485 sq ft, so the project caters to singles, couples and larger families alike.

Faber Residence's Setting and Developer Team

The site sits inside Faber Walk, a landed private-housing enclave in Clementi. The land parcel measures 25,795.40 sqm with a plot ratio of 1.4, and the development occupies it with low-rise blocks rather than towers, so the condo sits comfortably among its landed neighbours. For buyers, a condominium address inside a landed estate is a distinctive setting worth weighing on its own merits.

The project is jointly developed by GuocoLand, Hong Leong Holdings and TID, through the developer entity Faber Residence Pte. Ltd. The design team includes P&T Consultants as architect, Ortus Design as landscape architect and Ipli Architects as interior designer. More on the partners is on the developer page.

Holding Period, Stamp Duties and Faber Residence Payments

Any purchase plan should account for the statutory rules. As at October 2026, Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD) for residential property bought on or after 4 July 2025 is 16%, 12%, 8% and 4% for holding periods of up to one, two, three and four years respectively, and nil after four years. Buyers who expect to hold for the long term will find this sits comfortably outside their plans; those with shorter horizons should factor it in.

Buyer's Stamp Duty and Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty also apply on purchase. As at October 2026, ABSD is 0% for a Singapore Citizen's first residential property, 20% for a second and 30% for a third or subsequent one, with different rates for Singapore Permanent Residents, foreigners and entities. The stamp duty guide sets out every rate.

Payments follow the progressive payment scheme, starting with a 5% booking fee and continuing as construction reaches each stage, as at October 2026. The payment scheme page explains each instalment.
