The Trilinq

The Trilinq at Jalan Lempeng is a towering, high-density 99-year leasehold condominium that commands the skyline of the Clementi mature estate in District 05. Completed in 2017, its striking 36-storey towers offer spectacular views of the West Coast and Bukit Timah area. Most importantly for family buyers, it sits right on the doorstep of the highly prestigious Nan Hua Primary School, making it a permanent fixture on the radar for parents aiming to secure a top-tier education for their children.

Key project facts

• Type & tenure: A private residential condominium on a 99-year leasehold tenure (commencing from April 2012). For buyers concerned about lease decay, this project is a great example of why buying 99-year leasehold properties in Singapore can be a winning strategy when supported by elite schools.

• Completion & scale: Achieved TOP in 2017. It is a large-scale development comprising 755 residential units spread across three soaring 36-storey towers, occupying a substantial site area of over 262,000 sq ft.

• Developer: Developed by Clementi Development Pte Ltd (under the umbrella of IOI Properties).

Location and connectivity

• Address & setting: Located at 28, 28A, and 28B Jalan Lempeng in District 05 (Clementi). The site sits in a heavily established neighborhood, flanked by older condominiums and the expansive Clementi HDB estate.

• MRT access: Highly convenient. It is approximately a 10-minute walk (under 700m) to Clementi MRT (East-West Line) and the adjacent Clementi Bus Interchange, placing residents just one stop from the Jurong East regional hub. If you are comparing transit options, it’s always worth evaluating which MRT lines add the most value to condo living.

• Road links: Drivers enjoy fast, direct access to the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) and the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) via Clementi Avenue 6. While proximity to major roads is a huge plus, buyers should always weigh the pros and cons of living near Singapore expressways.

Layouts and design

• Unit mix: Designed for a broad spectrum of buyers, from investors to large families. The 755 units range from 1-bedroom apartments (538 to 603 sq ft), 2-bedroom (700 to 1,335 sq ft), 3-bedroom (915 to 1,701 sq ft), up to massive penthouses (up to 4,456 sq ft).

• Design approach: The Trilinq is known for its impressive ceiling heights—many 3- and 4-bedroom units boast voluminous 5.8m ceilings in the living areas, allowing owners to build loft spaces. The towers are strategically spaced to maximize views and airflow, directly addressing the common buyer concern of why some condos feel crowded and others feel private.

Facilities and lifestyle

• Facilities: The expansive grounds are split into three distinct lifestyle zones. Residents have access to a lap pool, a party pool, a rock climbing wall, and a tennis court. When evaluating which condo facilities add the most value, The Trilinq’s multiple sky terraces stand out by providing elevated breakout spaces away from the ground-level traffic.

• Nearby amenities: Clementi Mall, Grantral Mall, and the Clementi Market & Food Centre are all a short walk away, providing an abundance of heartland dining and retail options.

• Schools: This is The Trilinq’s biggest trump card. It sits directly next to, and well within the critical 1km radius of, the elite Nan Hua Primary School, making it a highly defensive asset.

Market and buyer appeal

• Market positioning: With units currently trading in the $1,750 to $2,050 PSF range depending on unit size and facing, The Trilinq represents a major stepping stone for HDB owners in the west. For those crunching the numbers on whether upgrading from an HDB to a condo is worth the leap, its location practically guarantees capital preservation.

• Rental demand: Exceptionally strong. Its proximity to the One-North tech cluster, the National University of Singapore (NUS), and international schools ensures a continuous flow of high-quality tenant profiles. It successfully competes for the same tenant pool as Dover Parkview and Heritage View located closer to Buona Vista.

• Key appeal: Elite Schools & Lofty Spaces. Buyers flock to The Trilinq for its unassailable proximity to Nan Hua Primary, the walking distance to Clementi MRT, and the generous vertical space in its larger units.
