Glentrees

Glentrees at 11 Mount Sinai Lane is a 999-year leasehold (effectively freehold) condominium located in District 10, situated in the prestigious Mount Sinai landed enclave. It is a CCR (Core Central Region) development. Often described as offering “landed living with condo facilities,” the project is celebrated for its unique garden-terrace concept where every unit features a planter or private enclosed space, blending seamless indoor-outdoor living. It stands as a spacious, nature-centric alternative to denser high-rises in the Holland/Dover area.

Key project facts

• Type & tenure: Private residential condominium on a 999-year leasehold tenure (starting from 1885).

• Completion & scale: Completed around 2005 with only 176 residential units. It is a low-density, 5-storey development spread across a sprawling land site, ensuring high privacy.

• Developer: Developed by CapitaLand Residential, ensuring a high standard of landscaping and build quality.

Location and connectivity

• Address & setting: Located at 11A–11H Mount Sinai Lane, tucked deep inside a quiet landed housing estate. It offers absolute tranquility, free from the traffic noise of Holland Road.

• MRT access: Walkable to Dover MRT (East-West Line) in about 10–12 minutes via a shortcut through the estate, though many residents prefer driving or taking a short bus ride.

• Road links: Excellent access via Holland Road and Mount Sinai Drive. It is a short 10-minute drive to Orchard Road and has easy connections to the AYE for CBD access.

Layouts and design

• Unit mix: Famous for its massive floor plates. It offers 2-bedroom units (starting from a generous ~1,346 sq ft) up to massive 4-bedroom garden lofts and penthouses (~3,600+ sq ft).

• Design approach: The “Garden House” concept is central here. Ground floor units often come with private trellis gardens that open directly to the pool, while upper floor units feature deep, usable planters and balconies.

• Positioning: Targets families and “right-sizers” moving from landed properties who want the space and greenery of a bungalow but the facilities of a condo.

Facilities and lifestyle

• Facilities: Despite being a low-rise boutique project, it packs full resort amenities including a 50m lap pool, a jacuzzi hidden in a bamboo grove, a tennis court, and a clubhouse.

• Living environment: Nature-inspired and rustic. The landscaping is heavy on foliage, creating a “resort in the woods” atmosphere. It is also directly adjacent to the Rail Corridor, making it a haven for hikers and cyclists.

• Nearby amenities: A short walk to the grocery haven of Cold Storage Jelita. It is also within 1km of the renowned Henry Park Primary School, a major draw for young families.

Market and buyer appeal

• Resale positioning: A rare “value buy” in District 10 for those looking for sheer size. The PSF is often lower than new launches, but the high quantum (due to large sizes) keeps it exclusive.

• Rental demand: Highly sought after by expatriate families (especially from Europe and Australia) who appreciate the tropical, open-air architecture and proximity to international schools like UWC and Tanglin Trust.

• Key appeal: The “best of both worlds.” It offers the 999-year tenure and space of a landed property with the security and pool of a condo, all while being next to a nature reserve.
