Leedon Green is a 638-unit freehold condominium developed by Asia Radiant Pte Ltd in District 10.
Located along Leedon Heights, within the good class bungalow (GCB) enclave, Leedon Green is a rare development in District 10 with freehold status. Leedon Green brings the perfect blend of accessibility and exclusivity for an elevated resort living experience.
To replicate a luxury resort experience, Leedon Green emphasises on creating an odyssey of open and private spaces for residents. For example, the development offers an abundance of outdoor spaces for its facilities, which include four swimming pools, a tranquil treetop walk and water lounge.
The developer also made it a point to create generous inter-residence spacing between the blocks similar to a high-end resort with pockets of dedicated facility spaces (e.g. themed pavilions) for residents to enjoy.
All of these are made possible because Leedon Green will sit on one of the biggest pieces of land in the GCB enclave with a low plot ratio of 1.6.
Apart from its resort-like facilities and design, Leedon Green also features a garden oasis concept. There’s plenty of lush greenery within the development and the developer has also ingeniously used the terrain landscaping of Leedon Green to create a terracing effect throughout the development.
The natural landscape of Leedon Green and the developer’s design philosophy brings out the distinctive landscaping to make Leedon Green one of the unique homes in the area.
The unique design of Leedon Green is also matched with a smart home design to combine beauty with functionality. Each home in Leedon Green will be fitted with smart devices like pan-tilt camera, biometric digital lock and smart aircon controls. There are also smart guest services like visitor QR code access and video call functionality to receive your visiting guests. Selected units also come with a smart mirror that lets you enjoy seamless connectivity within your own home.
Leedon Green is a joint development between Yanlord Land and MCL Land through their joint venture, i.e. Asia Radiant Pte Ltd.
Yanlord Land is a Chinese real estate developer that focuses on developing high-end fully fitted residential, commercial and integrated projects in 16 key high-growth cities within the six major economic regions of China: Yangtze River Delta, Western China, Bohai Rim, Southern China, Hainan, and Central China. Leedon Green will be the developer’s first foray in the Singapore real estate market.
On the other hand, MCL Land is a reputable residential developer with years of experience delivering residential projects in Singapore. As a premier property developer, MCL Land constantly innovates in its pursuit for excellence. Over the past 50 years, MCL Land has been establishing its legacy of building quality homes through notable developments such as Parc Esta, Sol Acres, Hallmark Residences and Palms @ Sixth avenue. MCL Land is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hongkong Land.
As you enter the 1-bedroom + study, this is the view that you will be greeted with from the open kitchen. The kitchen comes with branded provisions such as Ernestomeda kitchen cabinets and V-Zug appliances. Apart from the quality built-in kitchen appliances, the developer’s design consideration for the kitchen wall and countertop tiles also stood out.
The kitchen backsplash and countertop are made from large-format tiles from Italy, which is an exclusive porcelain material that is heat-resistant, scratch-resistant, and non-porous. As such, not only is it pleasing to the eye, but it’s also easy to clean and not susceptible to stains, making it ideal for kitchen use.
The kitchen top, just above the sink area is also made up from large-format tiles and serves as a functional space for items as well as an optional breakfast counter.
The living room comes with an elongated design. In the show flat, the developer placed a 4-seater long sofa in the living room and paired it with a small dining table. This is ideal for small families.
Meanwhile, another interesting (but thoughtful) design decision by the developer is to keep the air-conditioning units ducted in the living room and master bedroom.
Ducted air-conditioners are quieter compared to the typical fan coil unit (FCU). Additionally, they are much better at regulating an even temperature within the home.
Lastly, they also look better from a visual perspective, since it’s pretty much integrated with the décor for a cleaner look.
The balcony area comes with a glass panel-ed railing and a built-in hand rest, so you can enjoy the views of the surrounding from your balcony.
Besides the glass panel design and built-in hand rest, some units also come with treated walls. This design touch makes the balcony visually look like a seamless extension of the living area.
The master bedroom comes with a full height window and a built-in wardrobe. The built-in wardrobe is designed to be both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
Apart from offering space for your clothes, the built-in wardrobe also comes with a full-length mirror at the side of the wardrobe, which you can use to groom yourself without the need of a vanity table.
Another added benefit of the wardrobe design is that it comes fitted with built-in lighting and dehumidifier which help to prevent your clothes from smelling musty.
The 1-bedroom + study unit also comes with a spacious study area right beside the living room, which can double up as a workspace when you work from home.
Meanwhile, the bathroom comes with the premium design fittings and touches from Antonio Lupi and Hansgrohe and a unique, 3D design feature wall.
Like the 1-bedroom + study unit, the 2-bedroom + study unit features the same design and layout, albeit with bigger kitchen and living room space.
Note that the kitchen also comes installed with large-format tiles on its backsplash and countertop.
The study area is next to the living room, and both are connected to the balcony, which extends the available living space.
In the show flat, the developer also added a display shelf wall between the study area and the living room as a smart way to segregate space.
You also have the option of sticking with the built-in wall in the original floor plan, this way, you can then convert the study into another room by adding a door.
The master bedroom is large enough to fit a king-sized bed with extra walking room to spare, with the same wardrobe and bathroom design as the 1-bedroom + study units. The wardrobe comes with a reflective finish, which gives an extra luxurious vibe.
The second bedroom is also well-sized and allows you to fit a king-sized bed if needed. The room also comes fitted with a wall-to-ceiling window that helps to brighten the room with natural light.
The 3-bedroom premium unit comes with private lift access with your own lobby area. The lobby area is included with built-in cupboards that provide additional storage space.
Like most units with private lift access, you have exclusive access to your own floor and unit, so you don’t have to share the lift lobby with everyone else.
Anyway, back to the home. From the lobby area, you’ll face the living room and the balcony. Your right leads to the bedrooms, while the left leads to the wet and dry kitchen (yes, two kitchens!), and utility yard.
The tabletop, cabinets and kitchen counter in the dry kitchen combine to give the kitchen a timeless appeal, thanks to the sophisticated, large-format tiles and kitchen cabinets by Ernestomeda.
Unlike the other units above, the dry kitchen is fitted with a built-in wine chiller and an additional fridge. Additionally, the dry kitchen also comes with a smart mirror on the reflective wall between the dry and wet kitchen.
The smart mirror lets you connect with your favourite cooking tutorial on YouTube as you whip up your next family meal. It also lets you connect with your friends to enjoy a baking session together.
The same timeless vibe is also extended to the wet kitchen. The uniformity of design makes the dry and wet kitchen look as though they are part of the same kitchen.
The wet kitchen comes fitted with a gas stove and an additional fridge for you to store the cooking ingredients. Last but not least, there’s plenty of walking and storage space for better kitchen efficiency.
Behind the dry kitchen is a utility room where you have your washer and dryer neatly concealed in a cabinet (note that the cabinet is not provided). The utility room is also linked to an emergency exit, for when the lift breaks down.
The first bedroom is linked to the balcony area. This is a unique layout that lets you extend the first bedroom where you can access the balcony from the first bedroom through the aluminum glass door.
To make the unit more exclusive, the bathroom is designed differently from the previous units; the feature wall comes with more natural finishes while the built-in cabinet comes with a reflective finish.
Like all the other units, all the sanitary wares and fittings are from Antonio Lupi and upgraded fittings from AXOR, a premium line from Hansgrohe.
The same design and finishes are also present in the master bathroom. The master bedroom bathroom not only comes with two shower areas (bathtub and shower), but also comes with two basin areas (he and she basins).
The master bedroom comes with a generous size that ensures plenty of walking space. There is a walk-in wardrobe right before you enter the master bathroom. Similarly, the master bedroom wardrobes come with built-in lighting and dehumidifier to keep your clothes smelling fresh.
Note that only the master bedroom and living room are fitted with ducted aircon units. The rest of the rooms are fitted with FCUs.
In terms of layout and design, the 4-bedroom exclusive unit is very similar to the 3-bedroom exclusive unit –you have your own private lift access and a lobby area.
The balcony for the 4-bedroom exclusive unit is also extended and linked to one of the bedrooms in the 4-bedroom exclusive unit.
Likewise, the 4-bedroom exclusive unit also has two kitchens (dry and wet) with a link to the utility room and backdoor after the wet kitchen.
Apart from size, the other difference between the 4-bedroom exclusive and 3-bedroom exclusive unit is the additional bedroom.
In the show flat, the developer designed the additional bedroom to be a study that is connected to the master bedroom. This is an inspiration to utilise the additional bedroom for families that don’t require an additional room. For those who are planning to replicate this design, do note that the developer replaced the original wall with a movable sliding door between the master bedroom and the additional bedroom.
Every unit comes fitted with branded kitchen appliances and bathroom fittings. Each home is fitted with high-quality and durable furnishings with precise detail to attention. The quality of top lifestyle brands will not only give your home luxurious vibes, but it is also designed to be functional and practical.
These include:

Tanglin is a well-established housing area at the fringe of the city centre with easily accessible shops, healthcare, school, community facilities and green spaces. Commercial estates and business parks are also nearby the town.
According to the 2019 URA Master Plan, there are a few developments in Tanglin to watch for potential buyers of Leedon Green.
The first of which is the opening of new MRT stations on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) in 2021. The addition of Stevens MRT interchange and Napier MRT stations on the TEL will give Leedon Green residents greater access to other parts of Singapore via the TEL and Downtown Line (DTL).
Another interesting development to keep an eye on is the North-South Corridor (NSC) and new park connectors. These will be along Sungei Whampoa and Adam Road, which will enhance connectivity for transport and recreational activities for residents of Leedon Green.
Last but not least, Health City Novena. Set to be completed by 2030. the 17-hectare integrated hub will combine Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Mount Elizabeth Novena, Novena Medical Centre, the National Skin Centre as well as a host of other healthcare-related facilities to create a healthcare ecosystem.
It will also house research and educational infrastructures, a community hospital, as well as commercial, leisure and public spaces.
As Singapore’s largest healthcare complex, Health City Novena will anchor the Regional Health System (RHS) for the central region.
As such, healthcare professionals who flock to the area for jobs, will likely rent in the nearby area too. If you’re buying as an investor, the potential for rental income is something that you might find interesting.
If you’re buying for own stay, then you’ll have easier access to the wide range of healthcare services available.
