Rivertrees Residences

Moving right next door from the family-sized EC exclusivity of Lush Acres, we step into the premier waterfront lifestyle at Rivertrees Residences. If Lush Acres is about internal space and greenery, Rivertrees is all about the water. Completed around 2017 to 2018, this private condominium is famous in the Sengkang cluster for its incredible 150-metre direct frontage along the Punggol Reservoir, designed specifically to capture expansive, unblocked waterscape views. The other nearby condos are H2O Residences and Riverbank @ Fernvale. Nearby there is one newer one at High Park Residences.

Key project facts

• Type & tenure: A private residential development (featuring both apartments and strata landed homes) on a 99-year leasehold tenure.

• Completion & scale: Achieved TOP around 2017/2018. It features 495 residential units and 1 commercial shop, spread across five towers (20 to 22 storeys) and 8 highly exclusive strata landed houses along the water’s edge.

• Developer: Watervine Homes Pte Ltd—a heavyweight joint venture between Frasers Centrepoint Limited, Far East Organization, and Japan’s Sekisui House.

Location and connectivity

• Address & setting: Spanning 21 to 29 Fernvale Close. It sits right on the edge of the Punggol Reservoir (Sungei Punggol), giving it a tranquil, open-air setting directly connected to the Sengkang Riverside Park.

• LRT/MRT access: Just a short 3- to 5-minute walk to Layar LRT station, matching the convenience of Lush Acres and seamlessly connecting residents to the Sengkang MRT and bus interchange.

• Road links: Shares the same excellent vehicular access via Sengkang West Way, offering swift connections to the Tampines Expressway (TPE) and Central Expressway (CTE).

Layouts and design

• Unit mix: Highly versatile, catering to a much broader demographic than its EC neighbour. It offers 1- to 2-bedroom Suites (506 to 872 sq ft), 3-bedroom regular and Dual-Key “Trio” units (936 to 1,302 sq ft), 4-bedroom layouts (1,206 to 1,658 sq ft), and rare 3-bedroom strata landed “Cove Houses” (approx. 1,496 to 1,528 sq ft).

• Design approach: Masterminded to maximize the waterfront site. The towers are arranged in a “C-shape” configuration so that a staggering 92% of the units enjoy reservoir views. The landed “Cove Houses” even feature an innovative “upside-down living” concept—bedrooms on the ground floor, and living areas elevated to the second floor to maximize the panoramic water views.

• Positioning: Targets young professionals, couples, and families who specifically desire a waterfront lifestyle, smart layouts, and a touch of Japanese design influence (brought in by Sekisui House).

Facilities and lifestyle

• Facilities: The amenities are heavily water-themed and split into distinct zones (Riverine Promenade, Splash Oasis, Riverine Sanctuary). Highlights include a 50m lap pool, spa pools, and fitness stations designed to blend visually with the adjacent reservoir.

• Nearby amenities: Residents share the immediate conveniences of the cluster, being within easy walking distance to The Seletar Mall (featuring an NTUC FairPrice Finest and Shaw Theatres) and a short drive to the chic Greenwich V.

• Schools: Excellent for families, with Fernvale Primary, Sengkang Green Primary, and Anchor Green Primary School all located within a 1km radius.

Market and buyer appeal

• Resale positioning: The project commands a healthy premium for its direct water views. Recent 2025 and 2026 transactions show units transacting between the $1,500 to $1,650 PSF range, with prices heavily influenced by the unit’s facing and floor level.

• Rental demand: Exceptional. Unlike Lush Acres, the presence of 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and dual-key units makes this a massive draw for expatriate tenants and aviation professionals working in the nearby Seletar Aerospace Park.

• Key appeal: Unrivalled Waterfront Views. Buyers and tenants choose Rivertrees Residences over its immediate neighbours specifically for that rare 150-metre direct reservoir frontage and the premium build quality delivered by its developer consortium.
